Without sufficient natural gas quantities at the market the loss of multiple generating units may occur with high probability. Existing power system operation practices are not designed to cope with the wide-spread fuel scarcity problem and great efforts are made by independent system operators (ISOs) and pipeline operators to improve interdependent system resiliency at all levels. In this paper we propose a combined real-time and regulation market which includes fuel scarcity signal to balance the requirements for optimal and resilient generation dispatch near real-time. The proposed approach is based on a distributed decision making algorithm known as dynamic market mechanism (DMM). On an example of the IEEE 14 bus system we show how the newly derived coupled market mechanism compares to today's decoupled operation of ISO-NE real-time and regulation markets under insufficient natural gas supply.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"124 19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132786190","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}

Power systems can achieve better social welfare from their flexibility. Besides, flexible loads are also a choice to offset the fluctuation in the power system from renewable energy, e.g. wind and solar. Since they are affected by enormous uncertain factors, it is still a challenge to predicate their power outputs accurately especially when the prediction executes several hours earlier. For example, the wind prediction at one day ahead may be far away from the real-time measurement. This prediction error can be counteracted by changing the schedules of flexible loads in real-time scheduling. Electricity market is a promising platform to coordinate the schedules of wind and flexible loads through financial tools. That is, flexible loads can receive incentive by providing flexibility to renewable resources under market rules, and renewable resources will hedge their prediction error by this flexibility. We outline a multi-settlement electricity market architecture to enable flexibility trading and propose a mechanism to mitigate the volatility risk by using energy options and financial rights under the proposed architecture. A trading sample and an IEEE benchmark system demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hedging mechanism.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130861199","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 has been validated by transient studies in a simple system by PSCAD/EMTDC. Simulation results demonstrate that the enhancement of FRT is related highly with the limiting impedance of FCL.

The end-of-life failure model of power transformers is modified first to integrate loading conditions effect. The adopted Arrhenius-Weibull probability distribution, which represents the effect of thermal stress on the transformer's end-of-life failure, was compared with the commonly used Gaussian probability distribution model. The sensitivity of results to the uncertainty in model parameters is thoroughly assessed, and acceptable level of uncertainty is determined. The results demonstrated the importance of integration of loading conditions into the failure model. The sensitivity analysis revealed that the identification of critical transformer sites is not significantly affected by the uncertainty in the failure model parameters and that approximate ranges of parameters can be used instead of accurate values without significant, if any, loss in accuracy. The case studies were performed on a realistic transmission test system with 154 power transformers.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131038630","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}

Potential transmission technologies will also be discussed. A multi-terminal VSC HVDC model is developed in DSATools to implement the overlay grid and a test case on a regional NPCC system will be simulated.

The ability of soil to maintain a constant resistivity while being subjected to a heat source is known as its “thermal stability”. A method using the Law of Times has often been recommended to find soil stability. To test whether this method can accurately predict soil thermal stability an experiment was performed that tested the hypothesis inherent in the Law of Times that the diameter of the heat source affects the drying time of the soil surrounding it. This paper reports the results of that experiment and includes the statistical analysis of the data. The experimental evidence resulted in rejecting the Law of Times as an accurate predictor of the drying time of soil around a buried cable.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133053259","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}

Coordinated control requires real-time monitoring of models and resources and subsequent model-based analysis, optimization and control. Legacy state estimation is limited to the transmission system only and provides only the bus voltage values at transmission buses. This paper proposes a distributed dynamic state estimation (DDSE) technology that (a) extracts the dynamic real-time model of all components in substations as well as transmission lines, and (b) executes each cycle thus providing the real time model each cycle of the system. The DDSE uses all available measurements in the system, PMU data (GPS-synchronized), SCADA data, smart meter data, etc. The DDSE provides the real time model of the system which is the fundamental building block for all smart grid applications. The representation of the real-time model is object-oriented that allows interoperability among various applications.

The target application is power flow control in meshed electric power systems. Modulation of the line impedance occurs by altering the bias of a dc winding to control the magnetization of the ferromagnetic core, thereby varying the reactance of the ac winding. Fault conditions can drive the CVSR outside of the control point in sub-cycle time and could affect distance protection along the controlled line. This study seeks to quantify such impacts using PSCAD™ simulations of a CVSR under fault conditions with CCVTs providing the line potential measurements. Impacts are observed through playback of the resulting waveforms into a distance relay. The results show that the interaction of the CVSR with CCVTs has minimal effect on distance protection reach.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127800095","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}
