Major substation manufacturers have been constantly upgrading softwares and adding new features in their Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED's) to carry out multiple functions in process bus devices. This paper presents simulation results with respect to the delay in packets transfer in an Ethernet environment. Understanding the delay in packet transfer of Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) and Sampled Values (SV) shall assist the user in understanding the substation automation, control and protection of substation primary plants such as current transformers (CT's), voltage transformers (VT's), circuit breakers etc. connected in the network during a fault condition Conventional substation uses Merging Units (MU's) to communicate with the IED's featuring IEC 61850-9-2 standard. This standard exhibits transparency and standardization of data communication while addressing issues related to reliability, packet sharing, and maintainability, etc. However, process bus architecture is yet to be widely accepted in the industry and needs further validation due to lack of confidence. This paper evaluates the performance of a digital protection scheme in a zone substation operating at 132kV, featuring IEC 61850-9-2 IED's and using an optimized network engineering tool (OPNET) simulator. Understanding the delay in receiving time critical GOOSE and sampled value SV messages from protection perspective is critical as loss of data could cause malfunction in the protection jeopardizing vital substation plants.","PeriodicalId":439089,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122678667","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}

Through a HTC test case, the computational efficiencies and the results of these skills, which are implemented on a convex solver CVX, are compared and analyzed. The conclusion shows that there exists a best way to express HTC as SDP model without exploring the sparsity of large dimensional matrices produced during the transformation.","PeriodicalId":439089,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123132783","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 situation can be improved to a greater extent by introducing energy storage systems along with the wind generation. The addition of energy storage ensures levelised energy output, supports the grid under fault, offer minimum wind curtailment and provide opportunity for the independent power producer to participate in the energy trading. To evaluate the utilization of energy storage in wind farms and measure the net return on investment, a composite pricing strategy is necessary rather than the conventional levalised cost of energy. The effectiveness of the matric utilized for the evaluation of combinational use of energy storage in wind farm is verified by sensitivity analysis.","PeriodicalId":439089,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125290649","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}

But even though ASEAN offers abundant untapped renewable energy sources, its current power generation is strongly based on fossil fuels, mainly due to economic reasons. Trans-border electricity trade could increase economic viability of exploiting renewable energy sources as they are unevenly distributed among the ASEAN countries. In order to analyze the economic benefits of international electricity trade combined with increased renewable generation, a linear optimization model of ASEAN's power supply is presented in this paper which minimizes total cost of generation, transmission and storage. The results show that international electricity trade can lower additional power supply cost from 20.9 % to 14.9 % when CO2 emissions are reduced by 40 %. Herein, most of the cost saving potential can be realized by trading electricity generated by hydro within the Greater Mekong Subregion.","PeriodicalId":439089,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128642714","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}
