In particular it presents a way for autonomous agents to utilize a qualitative means-ends based model for reasoning about control situations. The proposed mechanism has been used in different scenarios of electric power distribution system protection and control. Results show that agents can use local models of their environment and coordinate with other agents to analyze and understand a disturbance situation and choose an appropriate control action. The paper also elaborates on real time interfacing between multi-agent systems and industry standard distribution automation and control system.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123516402","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 regard, hydrogen path and accumulator bank are added as long term and short term storage devices - respectively - in order to balance power in the system. In this paper, a proper fuzzy logic algorithm followed by a time estimator is applied to intelligently manage the energy storage strategy depending on the battery-bank state of charge, the hydrogen tank pressure, the prospective wind speed and the excess power under a given load profile of the hospital. The simulation results have been obtained in Matlab-Simulink environment, using SimPowerSystems and Fuzzy Logic toolboxes.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114800603","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}

As a result, new criteria and approaches are needed for transmission expansion planning (TEP) in deregulated electricity markets. This paper proposes a new market-based approach for TEP. An enhanced differential evolution (EDE) model is proposed for the solution of this new market-based TEP problem. The modifications of EDE in comparison to the simple differential evolution method are: 1) the scaling factor F is varied randomly within some range, 2) an auxiliary set is employed to enhance the diversity of the population, 3) the newly generated trial vector is compared with the nearest parent, and 4) the simple feasibility rule is used to treat the constraints. Results from the application of the proposed method on the IEEE 30 bus test system demonstrate the feasibility and practicality of the proposed EDE for the solution of TEP problem.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124147880","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 paper also presents a new technique able to represent the wind power forecasting uncertainty by a set of representative scenarios capable of characterizing the probability density function of the wind power forecast. From an initial large set of sampled scenarios, a reduced discrete set of representative scenarios associated with a probability of occurrence can be created finding the areas of high probability density. This will allow the reduction of the computational burden in stochastic models that require scenario representation.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"186 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134004442","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 energy plan looks to tackle the island's dependence on fossil fuels and its carbon emissions via an increased uptake of renewable energy and low carbon usage. It will also help the island develop more and better low carbon technologies that will continue to stimulate economic growth. Among of these technologies, wind power definitely plays the most important role at Penghu Island because of its abundant wind energy resource. In the initial planning phase, additional onshore wind farms with a capacity of more than 100MW would be installed in this island. It would bring a severe challenge to the original power system. Therefore, it is necessary to perform various system simulation analyses, including the computations on steady-state power flows, fault currents, and transient stability. In this paper, the initial planning constructions on these wind farms and system simulation analysis have been performed. The results would provide significant references to the actual Penghu onshore wind farm planning.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131907762","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}

Frequency monitoring network (FNET) is a low cost and quickly deployable wide-area phasor measurement system at the distribution level. The frequency disturbance recorder (FDR) in FNET is actually a single-phase phasor measurement unit (PMU) in the sense that it measures the voltage phase angle, amplitude, and frequency from a single-phase voltage source. Based on the data collected by the FDRs deployed in the North American power grid, two islanding detection methods, the frequency difference method and the change of angle difference method, are proposed. The six cases, including islanding cases, a generation trip case and a load shedding case, are presented to verify the proposed methods of islanding detection. The results show that the proposed methods can correctly detect power system islanding, and will not be falsely triggered by generation trips and load shedding.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"182 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124582378","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}
