In particular intermittent loads capable to reverse the load flow are intensively studied in the last times, with the aim to recover energy as much as possible. Examples are trains and subways during braking phases, and also funiculars during descents. The present work focuses in general on funicular electric plants, which are notable examples of intermittent loads integrated (sometimes) with renewable (photo-voltaic) energy sources. The main idea is to investigate the possibility to insert a hybrid flywheel and electrochemical based storage system able to maximize system performances. An accurate model of the whole plant has been implemented in Simulink™ and several simulations have been carried out. Finally main results are shown ad discussed.","PeriodicalId":403158,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Clean Electrical Power (ICCEP)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116975337","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}

They require feedback of all the state variables which are generally not measurable. In multi machine systems pole placement designs require feedback of other machine states as well. This paper proposes a new approach for the pole placement based PSS. In this paper, recently proposed modified Heffron Phillip's model is used for the PSS design. It is derived by taking the secondary bus voltage of the step-up transformer as reference instead of infinite bus. State variables of this model are locally measurable, which makes the pole placement design decentralized. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated on a single machine infinite bus system over a wide range of operating conditions. The proposed PSS performance is found to be better than the conventional PSS.","PeriodicalId":403158,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Clean Electrical Power (ICCEP)","volume":"456 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123054670","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 presents the modeling of distribution system dynamics during voltage drops, from the data provided by phasor measurement units, through a seventh order induction motor and a ZIP load model and initializes the dynamic parameters of this model using a linear state space model. Using subspace methods for estimation of linear state space model, the initial guess for nonlinear state space model parameters is obtained and then the model parameters are tuned for the closest possible resemblance to the actual measured response. This method is verified on IEEE 37 bus distribution test system and the results shows the effectiveness of this approach.","PeriodicalId":403158,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Clean Electrical Power (ICCEP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127945032","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 this paper, the use of the droop control is extended to both operation modes without commutating the control schemes. An islanding detection method is employed together with a synchronization algorithm achieving a successful micro-grid reconnection procedure.
