As the UK pursues its renewable energy target, predominantly through offshore wind, the UK's TSO, National Grid, has to facilitate for a grid with reduced inertia and predictability, in conjunction with changing infeed-loss requirements. A validated model of the UK system is used to identify the future requirements for primary and secondary response to maintain frequency control for grid code compliance, and the benefits of synthetic inertia from wind turbines. The model shows how the primary response needs to be changed to effectively deal with increased infeed-loss requirements in low demand and high wind penetration scenarios.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"09 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127308056","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}

Vehicle to grid technology allows bidirectional power flow between the battery of electric vehicle and the power grid. This allows peak load shaving, load leveling, voltage regulation and improvements of power system stability. Implementation of the vehicle to grid technology requires dedicated electric vehicle battery charger, which allows bidirectional power flow between power grid and electric vehicle battery. In this paper, a new control strategy for bidirectional battery charger is proposed. The proposed control strategy can charge and discharge an electric vehicle battery in both slow and fast mode. The performance of the bidirectional controller is verified by simulation in PSCAD/EMTDC software under different operating modes, which include fast charging, fast discharging, slow charging and slow discharging. The results show that the proposed control strategy performs well in all four modes.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128808777","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 main drawback for this type of inverter is the high number of switching device it needs in an installation. In order to reduce total harmonics distortion (THD) of the output voltage waveform, the number of output voltage level need to be increased, hence the higher number of switching devices. This subsequently increases the installation cost, inverter circuit size and power losses - in the form of heat and voltage losses in the inverter circuit. In this paper a new cascaded multilevel inverter topology is proposed with a minimum number of switching devices and driver circuits needed. The proposed new topology also needs to turn on only three switching devices at any operation time for any output voltage level configurations. The new cascaded multilevel inverter topology validity is verified by the simulation and experimental results of a prototype single phase 41-level inverter. The prototype inverter can also be designed to supply a load with a specific power factor requirement.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126222611","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}

Al Ain distribution system (AADS) is considered as the test system in this paper. Various locations that have a cogeneration potential were selected and various activities were allocated. Results show that, cogeneration, placed as DGs in the AADS at 13 locations, out of 178 nodes in the system, can bring tremendous benefits to system voltage profile and energy losses.

When the focus is broadened from on a traditional user-centric smart charging approach to be more grid-centric, it suddenly becomes important to know not just when- and how much the vehicles charge, but also where in the grid they plug in. Since one of the main goals of EV-grid studies is to find the saturation point, it is equally important that the simulation scales, which calls for a statistically correct, yet flexible model. This paper describes a method for modelling EV, based on non-categorized data, which takes into account the plug in locations of the vehicles. By using clustering analysis to extrapolate and classify the primary locations where the vehicles park, the model can be transferred geographically using known locations of the same classification.","PeriodicalId":444960,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT ASIA)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114282231","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}
