The chosen method for minimizing the costs is linear programming with most variables being continuous, and a few binary ones. The results obtained allow the management of every power plant, contract and the spot market business, in order to respect the economic, physical and environmental constraints.","PeriodicalId":383749,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130173227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is similar to interior point algorithms. However, due to a simple transformation, the variable space becomes unlimited (unlimited point) and variables do not need to be forced to stay within the feasible region during all OPF iterations as is the case for interior point algorithms. As a consequence only a pure Newton-Raphson iterative process to algebraically transformed KKT conditions is applied. The algorithm has been successfully applied to various networks up to size 700 buses with the active power loss objective function.","PeriodicalId":383749,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122053587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a new method that is capable of distinguishing between topological and analogical errors, and also of identifying which are the misconfigured elements or the bad measurements. The method explores the discrimination capability of the normalized innovations, which are used as input variables to an artificial neural network whose output is the identified anomaly. Data projection techniques are also employed to visualize and confirm the discrimination capability of the normalized innovations. The method is tested using the IEEE 118-bus test system and a configuration of a Brazilian utility.","PeriodicalId":383749,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126142891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sags on a distribution feeder are likely to result in damage to a customer's sensitive equipment on all of the adjacent feeders.

In this paper, the development and implementation of an integrated software tool for voltage sag analysis is presented. It integrates the available historical outage data, analytical calculation algorithm, and advanced computer graphical capabilities together to provide valuable voltage sag information. State-of-the-art software technologies are used to ensure the effectiveness, openness, and flexibility of the integration approaches.

The algorithm combines the characteristics of the logic programming with the constraint satisfaction as well as the depth-first branch and bound (B&B) search techniques to provide an efficient and flexible approach to the UC problem. Through the constraint satisfaction techniques, the constraints, which consist of the upper bound on the objective value, are propagated as much as possible to actively reduce the search space of the UC problem in a priori way. Consequently, the optimal solution can be acquired in a very early stage. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, the practical thermal UC problem of Taiwan Power (Taipower) 38-unit system over a 24-hour period is solved by the CLP algorithm implemented in CHIP language, The results obtained are compared with those from the established methods of dynamic programming, Lagrangian relaxation as well as simulated annealing.","PeriodicalId":383749,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128431064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dual programming methods are applied to the large-scale problem deriving from a fine subdivision of the daily optimization horizon for networks with hundreds of thermal units. The starting point for the dual approach is obtained from the solution of a thermal scheduling problem with discarded generation ramp-rate constraints. The relaxed daily scheduling decouples into as many smaller dispatch problems as the number of subintervals. Two dual programming methods are implemented: the former is the dual active set algorithm by Goldfarb and Idnani; while the latter is based on the application of continuation method techniques. These approaches are extensively tested with reference to both a small sample system and to the daily thermal generation scheduling of the Italian (ENEL) system (over 100 thermal units and 96 quarter hour subintervals). Incorporating the dual programming approach within the ENEL hydro-thermal coordination procedure is also considered.","PeriodicalId":383749,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications","volume":"209 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122514826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of the evaluation of a new type of digital filter are presented in this paper. The filter theory is outlined in part I of the paper. The new filter results from the application of a special window to the coefficients of the traditional Fourier, cosine and sine algorithms. It is compared in the paper with the Fourier, cosine and sine filters in terms of steady-state and transient responses. Extensive time-domain simulations are performed to evaluate the filter transient behavior. The new filter is shown to be more accurate than the Fourier filter for window lengths equal or greater than 3 cycles of the fundamental frequency. It retains its accuracy even for window lengths being different from multiples of one cycle. The new filter is suitable for phasor computation for the fault location and measuring functions required in digital distance relays and fault recorders.","PeriodicalId":383749,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Power Industry Computer Applications","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115536953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
