Remote communities need to use RE to reduce their diesel consumption. Hybrid power systems with some long-term energy storage can optimally use RE resource. One example of a remote wind-diesel-hydrogen hybrid power system is in Ramea, Newfoundland. That system is still not operational and its control system is being designed. This paper presents dynamic modeling and simulation of Ramea hybrid power system. Mathematical models of diesel generators, wind turbines, electrolyzer, hydrogen generator and storage are included in the paper. Matlab/Simulink™ and SimPower block set have been used to simulate the system. Simulation results are included in the paper. Presented modeling and simulation results will be used to design a control system for Ramea hybrid power system.","PeriodicalId":393869,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electrical Power & Energy Conference","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115610389","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}

Mouftah","doi":"10.1109/EPEC.2010.5697213","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/EPEC.2010.5697213","url":null,"abstract":"Smart grid provides remarkable opportunities for residential energy management. Residential energy management covers a large number of devices and techniques, from basic components, such as energy saving light bulbs to more complex methods, such as coordinating the household load. With the use of smart meters, smart grid enables two-way communication between the utilities and their consumers, where energy management becomes possible for both sides. Smart meters provide time-related consumption information which is used in Time Of Use (TOU) pricing. In TOU pricing, the price of electricity varies according to the time of consumption. For instance, the price of electricity is the highest during peak hours, i.e. when the load on the grid reaches its highest level. In peak hours, utilities bring peaker plants online which use more expensive resources such as coal, natural gas, etc. Besides, these resources have higher GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions. This implies that the time of consumption affects the carbon footprint of the consumers. Recently proposed energy management schemes rely on coordinating the appliances to avoid peak hour consumption and to make use of renewable energy sources. In this paper, we investigate the impact of these energy management schemes on the carbon footprint of an household due to electricity consumption. We show that energy management schemes decrease the peak hour usage of the appliances which consequently, decreases the carbon footprint of the consumers.","PeriodicalId":393869,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electrical Power & Energy Conference","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124170331","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 minimization of the generation cost will result to a lower cost of electricity paid by the consumers. Power world simulator employs linear programming method for finding optimal solution. The reactive power is controlled by installing the shunt capacitors at the bus.

This manifests in the form of degraded reliability and power quality. Active methods where disturbances are injected into the grid for detecting islanding operations are not suitable for RDGs because they lead to power quality degradation. On the other hand, passive methods using local measurements do not introduce disturbances into the grid and are inexpensive; however, their performance may be compromised when operating in distorted environments. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of passive-based islanding protection schemes that have been proposed in the literature. The paper investigates the performance of the islanding detection schemes in the context of degraded power quality that will occur with the increased penetration of RDGs into the electric grid.","PeriodicalId":393869,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electrical Power & Energy Conference","volume":"28 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114044078","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}
