This should be considered as the first stage of any mutual coupling related study preceding the second stage in which the mitigation against mutual coupling is to be developed. The proposed methodology can be used to study the impact of mutual coupling on ground overcurrent relays, ground and phase distance as well as pilot protection schemes. As part of the proposed approach, EMT simulation is utilized to quantify the extent of sub-transient overshoot and current reversal that may have adverse impact on the performance of studied relays. A real-life case study within the ERCOT network has been used to demonstrate the proposed study approach.","PeriodicalId":424038,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127461336","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}

Mehraeen","doi":"10.1109/TPEC.2019.8662128","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/TPEC.2019.8662128","url":null,"abstract":"The dc grid became more popular, by emerging the distributed generations (DGs). Despite this popularity, the dc grid is not yet widely used because the majority of loads in a power system are ac, which means the ac grid is still the dominant grid in the power system. Therefore, the concept of a hybrid ac-dc microgrid was emerged because of this contradiction. Hybrid ac-dc microgrid was introduced in order to exploit the benefits of both ac and dc microgrids. However, the combination of both ac and dc microgrids will add more complexity to the network. Because in all studies for hybrid ac-dc microgrid, such as steady-state analysis or dynamic study, two sets of equations should be considered and solved either separately or simultaneously, the solutions that were presented before. These solutions increase the time of simulation and operation.In this paper, a novel procedure for steady-state analysis of a general hybrid ac-dc microgrid is proposed. In this technique, the dc microgrids will be transferred to the ac side by proposing two lemmas and then the whole grid will be analyzed as one ac network. It will be proved that not only the new ac grid has the same power flow result with the initial topology of the ac-dc microgrid, but also the simulation time of the proposed method is less than the other existing methods.","PeriodicalId":424038,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129513988","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 nonlinearity makes the problem intractable for large-scale power systems. This paper compares two approaches for budget allocation for power system reliability improvement. The first method is the traditional one, which suffers from the non-convexity and nonlinearity. In the second approach, a linear zero-sum mixed-strategy game is proposed where a limited budget is allocated among the network elements based on the game variables along with an iterative algorithm to find the solution. Both models are applied to the modified RTBS system. The results show that while each strategy adopts a different tactic for reliability improvement, both strategies improve the system reliability to the same level for a given budget.","PeriodicalId":424038,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121837586","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 effectiveness of the new approach is verified by different methods including traditional optimization methods, PSO and particle swarm optimization with adaptive parameter control which is conducted on the IEEE 30-bus test system.","PeriodicalId":424038,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Texas Power and Energy Conference (TPEC)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122770134","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}
