The amount of energy captured from a wind energy conversion system (WECS) depends not only on the prevailing wind at the site, but also on the control strategy used for the WECS. Modeling, control and simulation of a wind turbine conversion system connected to an isolated load are proposed. The wind turbine being considered a variable speed turbine connected to a gear box to move a three phase wound rotor synchronous generator. The variable frequency energy produced by the generator is converted to the 50 Hz power system energy by a full power AC/DC/AC electronic converter. The maximum output power at every wind speed is achieved by selecting a certain inverter modulation index using proportional-integral controller which uses DC link power as feedback signal. The controller gains (Kp and Ki) are optimized using the Genetic Algorithm.","PeriodicalId":395633,"journal":{"name":"2014 Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Conference (SASG)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117029578","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}

Arain, Muhammad Azhar","doi":"10.1109/SASG.2014.7274295","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SASG.2014.7274295","url":null,"abstract":"Ras Al-Kahir Industrial City, which is approximately 80km northwest of Jubail Industrial City on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, comprises of world-class complex of metal and minerals industries. To support such a huge industrial complex, a strong and reliable power network is planned by the Royal Commission in coordination with Saudi Electricity Company. The US engineering firm Bechtel Corporation is assisting the Royal Commission in putting in place massive infrastructure facilities including power network for RIC. To supply the RIC industrial power requirements, the Royal Commission is building three (3) major 380/115/33kV substations and associated overhead power lines for interconnection with SEC power network. Two (2) of these substations are under construction; while the third one is under design stage. The RC will design, procure, implement and fund the entire cost of RIC power network in coordination with SEC. After completion the facilities will be handed over to SEC for operation and maintenance as per the prevailing RC asset transfer policy. The substations are strategically located to supply the industries' power requirement. The primary industries will be supplied at 380kV either directly from SEC grid or from the RIC substations at 380kV or 115kV level; while secondary and support industries will be fed at 33kV level. Each substation will be designed for a capacity of 1,000 MVA and will consist of 380 kV, 115kV and 33kV voltage levels to supply the industries as per their power requirements. The substations are interconnected within RIC and with SEC power network. The power network is designed to supply the power to the industries and the community areas under n-1 contingency condition, i.e., during failure or planned outage of one major system element, the system is capable to supply the customers. The main power supply source will be SWCC; while SEC is also planning to acquire a land to develop a power plant in the vicinity. The other nearby SEC plants like Ghazlan, Wasit and MARAFIQ will also share the power supply to the RIC industries. As such, a strong and reliable power network is planned to supply the RIC industrial loads at desired reliability level. The system redundancy and nearby availability of power sources are additional benefits towards the strength of RIC network. The paper discusses the load forecast, system capacity and reliability of the power grid of Ras Al-Khair Industrial City. It also discusses the system redundancy and availability of nearby power sources to supply the metal and mineral industries complex at Ras Al-Khair Industrial City.","PeriodicalId":395633,"journal":{"name":"2014 Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Conference (SASG)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115769309","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}

Kalra, Zafer Korkmaz, Ammad Ali","doi":"10.1109/SASG.2014.7274298","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SASG.2014.7274298","url":null,"abstract":"The communications standard IEC 61850-5 identifies fast messages that perform high-speed automation, protection, and interlocking to meet or exceed a transmission time of 3 milliseconds as Type 1A, Performance Class P2/P3. Modern microprocessor-based devices and Ethernet networks routinely meet this requirement when everything is working as expected. One of the most important acceptance criteria (and perhaps least understood) is the maximum transmission time when unexpected things do happen and messages are delayed. Because not all paths in an Ethernet network perform the same, this paper introduces path performance classifications that illustrate the minimum and maximum transfer times between two devices. The telecommunications performance standard IEC 60834-1 is commonly used to evaluate point-to-point high-speed automation and interlocking. It describes the overall operating time between the instant of the change of state at the command input on the source device and the instant of the change of state at the command output on the destination device. This includes propagation time and any additional delays. IEC 60834-1 further defines transmission dependability as the ability to receive each command message within the fixed actual transmission time defined by the application, in this case 3 milliseconds. IEC 61850-5 specifically states that testing and verification of the complete transfer time must be performed during site acceptance testing using the physical devices and network equipment. Methods to test and validate message transmission during normal Ethernet packet delivery as well as during path failure are introduced in this paper based on both Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP).","PeriodicalId":395633,"journal":{"name":"2014 Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Conference (SASG)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126469259","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 power system is connected to Mexico in the north and to El Salvador in the south. The power system in El Salvador is connected to the rest of the Central American countries in the south, all the way to Panama. The Guatemalan power system is a transmission corridor for power flowing from the abundant hydrogeneration resources in the southeast of Mexico, as well as a consumer of this power. The Guatemalan wide-area protection scheme (WAPS), called the wide-area supplementary control scheme (SCS), isolates the Guatemalan power system from the power system to the south of Guatemala when the scheme detects unstable operating conditions. This scheme is based on time-synchronized measurements of active power and modal analysis of the active power flow of the interconnection between Guatemala and El Salvador. Phasor measurement and control units (PMCUs) are installed at strategic buses in the Guatemalan power system. The strategic locations include the interconnections to Mexico and El Salvador. Operating modes in the power system that cause instability were identified based on operating experiences of the power system. The scheme detects unstable operating conditions and opens the interconnection with El Salvador to isolate the Guatemalan power system from the rest of Central America. This paper discusses details of the Central American power system, the deployment of PMCUs, a modal analysis-based scheme, and the communications network of the scheme. It also presents events that show how the active power-based and modal-analysis based SCS avoided power system collapse.","PeriodicalId":395633,"journal":{"name":"2014 Saudi Arabia Smart Grid Conference (SASG)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123695135","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}
