This paper presents an approach of K-means clustering analysis algorithm to classify and recognize the voltage sag from the measured historical data of large-scale grid in Shenzhen, China. The distances among different sag incidents in distribution diagram are calculated first. When some distances are nearer, a cluster center which is called centroid can be set to represent these incidents. Then the centroid amounts and locations are determined based on iterative updating method. The sag amplitude and duration time reflected by these centroids can be regarded as the voltage sag characteristics of similar substations, which will represent the operation condition and find out the weak link of whole power systems. Thus the algorithm converts the complicated and disordered sag incidents into some typical sag models, which provides the theoretical evidence for simplifying analysis and practical management of voltage sags.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128251723","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}

Modern power systems are normally designed to withstand n-1 and credible n-2 outages. The ability of a system to survive extreme contingencies and major disturbances has not been comprehensively addressed by system planners in the past. Extreme outages are a result of either cyber or physical threats. Both types of events expose transmission planners and operation engineers to new challenges, including identifying how to minimize their impact on system vulnerability. The suggested approach is to further enhance the study approach currently used by Idaho Power in performing North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) compliance studies. Understanding the effects of extreme contingencies on vulnerabilities of Idaho Power's system is needed to determine when a disruption of service is likely to occur and how to take appropriate steps to reduce the associated risk. Identification of extreme contingencies using generation reallocation and load shedding for mitigation of their effects are illustrated using an IEEE RTS-96 test system and a model of the actual Idaho portion of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) system.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125602109","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 concept is often used to describe the collapse of ecological systems, but it also appears in many engineering systems; most notably in the voltage collapse of power systems.

These preliminary experiments demonstrate that the FI index indeed provide early warning of abnormal operations leading to voltage instability. As a data driven method the proposed FI index provides a useful tool supporting the real-time monitoring of power system operations.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115324485","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 proposed configuration employs a nine-switch power converter instead of the traditional back-to-back power converter with 12 switches. The high voltage side port works as a double resonance injection hybrid active power filter to enhance the injection ability of harmonic currents, while the low voltage side port works as a traditional shunt active filter, thus the harmonic and reactive currents to the transformer can be reduced while the stability of DC-link voltage is enhanced.

It has been well recognized that modeling and monitoring the dynamic behavior of DFIGs are important to ensure power system reliability. Real-time estimation of the dynamic states of a DFIG is possible with high-speed measurements. But how to use such measurements to have high-quality estimation remains to be a challenge. Estimating dynamic states relies on a good dynamic model of the DFIG. Building a high-fidelity model is a problem in tandem with the dynamic state estimation problem. In this paper, we propose an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF)-based method for the state estimation and parameter calibration of a DFIG. The mathematical formulation of state estimation combining with parameter estimation is presented. Simulation cases were studied to demonstrate the accuracy of both dynamic state estimation and parameter estimation. Sensitivity analysis is performed with respect to the measurement noise, initial state errors and parameter errors. The results indicate this EnKF-based method has a robust performance on the state estimation and parameter calibration of a DFIG.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125511688","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 develops a capacity forecasting model considering eight particular uncertainties under three categories to overcome this issue. The model is then applied to a UK summer scenario in 2020. The results of this analysis demonstrate that the proposed model is accurate for charge and discharge prediction and a feasible basis for steady-state analysis required for large-scale electric vehicle integration.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129253667","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 proves that the equivalent voltage behind stator circuit is proportional to the rotor speed, and dependent on wind speeds, thus invalid. The steady-state constraints are proved to be indeterminate equations, whose unique solution requires additional constraint, i.e. stator current or stator voltage orientation which are not consistent with var constraint, yielding different stator voltages/currents, losses and efficiencies. Compared with current orientation, voltage orientation needs less var support, but with lower efficiency. With power dispatch by adjusting rotor speed or pitch angle, multiple solutions are quantified, and modified flat starts are proposed to improve convergence.","PeriodicalId":423639,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125939440","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}
