A challenge associated with developing algorithms for model calibration tasks is the determination of parameters for a particular algorithm. This work proposes a method for parameter selection utilizing silhouette score analysis that allows these parameters to be tuned on a per-feeder basis. This method leverages cluster analysis and the distance matrices often produced by phase identification methods. The proposed method was tested on 5 feeders from 2 different utilities to select the number of clusters used in a spectral clustering phase identification algorithm. A synthetic dataset was then used to validate the method with the phase identification algorithm performing with 100% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":392538,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Kansas Power and Energy Conference (KPEC)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128490620","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}

From the results obtained, it was observed that the behavior of solar photovoltaic systems to faults depend largely on the control scheme used for the power electronic converter which connects it to the grid. It has been shown through simulations that the solar PV system shuts down its operation when a fault occurs between line conductors and the ground whereas it is able to ride through the fault when it does not have a ground path. Overcurrents and overvoltages were observed in the system immediately after the fault is cleared due to electromagnetic transients. These results are helpful in understanding fault behavior of solar PV systems and can be utilized to design better controllers for power electronic converters and suitable protection schemes for hybrid power systems.","PeriodicalId":392538,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Kansas Power and Energy Conference (KPEC)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117346159","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}

In addition, the EMT simulation would help with the planning of future power grid with a large number of PVs as well as other inverter-based distributed generation systems. In this paper, the EMT simulation models of PV systems and grids are developed based on the differential algebraic equations (DAEs) representing their EMT dynamics. Furthermore, advanced simulation algorithms including numerical stiffness-based hybrid discretization, DAE clustering and aggregation, multi-order integration, and matrix splitting approaches are applied to accelerate the EMT simulation.

It endangers the balance of the power system which is very sensitive to any mode of change and results in an ineffectiveness to match power consumption and production. The ultimate goal of harvesting renewable energy is to integrate it into the power grid. So, predicting the total amount of power generation by solar cells has become an important aspect. This study delineates various Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) techniques such as regular CNN, multi-headed CNN, and CNN-LSTM (CNN Long Short-Term Memory) which employs sliding window algorithm and other feature extraction and pre-processing techniques to make accurate predictions. Meteorological parameters such as Solar Irradiance, Air Temperature, Humidity, Wind Direction, and Wind Speed are related to the output of the solar panels. For instance, input parameters were taken for 5 years span and predicted for a particular day and one week. The results were evaluated by comparing them with traditional forecasting techniques such as Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The efficacy of the result was also evaluated by the Evaluation Metrics such as RMSE, MAE, and MBE.

An individual module consists of four series-connected 1.7-kV rated SiC MOSFETs, yielding a breakdown voltage of 6.8-kV, and driven by a single custom 10-kV isolated gate driver. One gate driver per module and 46 passive components (e.g., coupling capacitors, resistors, etc.) per module lead to low-cost fabrication and simpler operation of this HV switch. The unique modularity feature of the proposed switch enables voltage scalability to the limit of the weakest passive link. Any single or a combination of multiple passive components (e.g., capacitors, diodes, resistors, etc.) can form the weakest passive link in a module. Further, the high volumetric power density realized by the physical layout and modular stacking is within 80% of a fully custom/integral design. The working principle of the HV switch during switching transients and steady-state are demonstrated and compared in simulation and from measurements. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate excellent voltage balancing as supported by a minimal voltage imbalance of <80-V among the individual MOSFETs in the HV switch at a supply voltage of 6-kV and a switching frequency of 15-kHz.","PeriodicalId":392538,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Kansas Power and Energy Conference (KPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131336913","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 receiver-end voltage of an on-board charger can vary dramatically with the change in the mutual inductance developed in between the transmitter-end coil and the receiver-end coil. The receiver-end coil is set inside the electric vehicle, and therefore, accurate alignment between the transmitter-receiver coils is crucial for efficient charging. In this paper, strategy for a receiver-end charging voltage control for a wireless EV battery charger by measuring the transmitter-side voltage and current parameters has been proposed. Mathematical models to estimate the mutual inductance and the output voltages have been developed. The proposed strategy is able to estimate the mutual inductance between the two coils by utilizing the transmitter-side measurements and estimate the output voltage at the receiver end. The estimated voltage is then utilized in a closed-loop controller at the transmitter-side to control the output voltage at the desired level. The major contribution of this paper lies in the achievement of accurate voltage control of wireless EV charger, without physically accessing the measurement parameters inside the vehicle and thus ensuring efficient wireless charging, which is straight forward, does not rely on the sensors from the electric vehicle, and easy to implement. The efficacy of the proposed strategy is verified through simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink.","PeriodicalId":392538,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Kansas Power and Energy Conference (KPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130833237","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}
