Mahfouz, Mohamed El Sayed Ah","doi":"10.4172/2325-9833.1000158","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2325-9833.1000158","url":null,"abstract":"The increasing share of renewable energy in electricity generation requires an effective operation and protection scheme using Smart Grid (SG) technologies. Smart meters of SG allow the transfer of the measured signals in the wind farm to the operation and protection centre of the SG. Such signals transmission can improve the farm performance and reduce system cost. The secure operation of wind farms requires an efficient over speed protection of the turbines under wind gust conditions. Therefore, this paper is concerned with integration of a new over speed protection algorithm with the existing protection centre in SG. The main objective of the proposed algorithm is the dynamic updating of Critical Clearing Time (CCT) for over speed protective relays against severe wind gusts to minimize loss of life and component damage. In this respect, long-term data of wind speed of Zafarana farm have been collected and processed to define gust intensity and its distribution Moreover, the geographical farm area is classified to different rows according to the recorded gust values. A smart relay setting will be formulated by developing heuristic algorithm, which relates CCT with the gust intensity, and its row along the geographical area of Zafarana farm. Accordingly, general two variables second order function will propose to identify the dynamic CCT based on wind speed measured by smart meters installed on each wind farm row. The digital relay settings are updated according to the determined CCT using the communication facilities existing in the SG. The simulation results indicate that the proposed over speed protection improves significantly the performance of the grid connected wind farm under wind gust conditions.","PeriodicalId":44634,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars-Electronic and Electrical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87072050","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 conventional SVC type-III model the VAR regulator output is based upon proportional plus integral terms. Generally, the gains of the controllers are selected on the basis of a typical load; also these controllers, employed in type-III SVC model, do not eliminate the conflict between the static and dynamic accuracy. Hence, this paper proposes the advantage of dual mode concept and FOPI controllers on a new design of dual mode FOPI controller based type-III SVC model for isolated multi wind-diesel hybrid power systems. The simulation results show the proposed dual mode FOPI controller based type-III SVC model as having better responses than the conventional type-III SVC model. It is also found that the proposed model is found less sensitive to system parameter variation and robust under different operating conditions of the power systems.","PeriodicalId":44634,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars-Electronic and Electrical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76041334","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}

Although frequency monitoring ensures system stability and calls for the Under Frequency Load Shedding scheme, other conditions that threaten power system stability like the loss of a tie line, overload trip of a power transformer, and overload trip of a transmission line need to be automated as well. This will not only improve reliability and continuity of service but also fast decision making, reduce the blackout zone, unnecessary load shedding, and minimal downtime. This paper presents a load management scheme that performs automatic load monitoring and feeder restoration by strictly following the set threshold values using PCM600, an ABB tool. The 11KV feeder load shedding hierarchy was strictly selected according to utility income-priority, strategic supply and safety. The logic configuration from PCM600 was validated and the Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) report was published. The Configured IED Description (CID) file from each IED (in PCM600) was saved in Substation Configuration Language (SCL) format and imported into IEDScout to simulate the IEC61850 communication. The simulation using IEDScout achieved a 500ms GOOSE messaging sequence and the traffic on the Ethernet cable was captured and analyzed using WireShark, a graphic user interface network protocol. A cost benefit ratio of 1.647 (greater than 1) was obtained to declared economically acceptable. This design caters for emergencies, i.e. very rare, non-continuous but possible and very catastrophic occurrences on the power system. Therefore this research provides an efficient solution to transmission line and transformer overload by automating downstream load-shedding and load restoration.","PeriodicalId":44634,"journal":{"name":"SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars-Electronic and Electrical Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2332-0796.1000283","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72542448","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}
