Several researchers have been proposed based on a one-level optimization method to optimize a load profile however, not may have been proposed a two-level method. In this work, a two-level optimization method is presented, which optimizes the electrical cost of the user and the micro-grid demand profile. To solve the problem, two objective functions are formulated, and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used, establishing an \"indirect control\" of the loads. The proposed algorithm allowed minimizing the electrical cost and improved the demand profile with the user-supplier interaction. Furthermore, the supplier does not need to know user behavior to optimize the demand profile in the grid.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129914555","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 approach is an attractive alternative over traditional electromagnetic transients (EMT) simulation and numerical iterative methods as it requires no computational resources and little modeling detail. This work was motivated from the necessity of such operational point to calculate detailed impedance vs. frequency profiles of the generators for wind park resonance assessment, when including the effects of their phase-locked loops, DC bus couplings, and outer control loops for power and voltage regulation. From this work, it was possible to derive didactic circuit equivalents of the wind generators which can be used to: observe the behavior of inner variables of the generator such as magnetic fluxes and currents for several setpoints and wind conditions; study the power losses of the generators; calculate the capacity of power electronics converters of type-III generators; and even set protections and saturation limits of generator controllers. Detailed EMT simulations were used to validate the expressions.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131215589","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 optimization formulation considers the installation cost minimization, in addition to complying with other operational constraints. The case study scenarios shown were developed using an algorithm based on an optimal analysis of the installation cost for a solar plant and the grid power required to supply the total demand of the system.

This massive change is pushing towards new solutions to improve energy trading in low voltage networks. Consumer-centric options, such as full peer-to-peer (P2P) and energy community markets (CM) are seen as viable options to increase the active participation of end-users in the electricity markets. This work studies the full P2P and CM market approaches applied to the actual regulatory framework in Brazil, evaluating and comparing both approaches to be potentially applied in Brazil. A case study based on a typical Brazilian neighborhood is designed, allowing to assess the behavior of consumers and prosumers in both markets. The results show the economic viability of both models, considering the social welfare and the penetration of distributed generation in the system. An important conclusion under the current regulatory framework is that the full P2P can have greater benefits over the CM, as long as the distributed generation is enough to confer near self-sufficiency to the peer’s demand.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132237333","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}

Nevertheless, efficient demand response schemes based on cold appliances inevitably rely on the accurate estimation of their actual load not only at an aggregate level, but directly at the household level. Therefore, we propose two novel approaches to disaggregate the load profile of cold appliances from residential smart meter data. Both approaches are complementary and exhibit a MAE generally lower than 40W with 1- to 15-minute resolution data at the household level. Their applicability is finally demonstrated on more than 4000 loads.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126900913","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}

Currently there are over 120 phasor measurement units (PMU) installed across the country, all of them integrated to the National Control Center (CND by its Spanish name). As the energetic transition of the country continues, several changes in the regulatory framework will take place in the short term, and as a consequence it is expected that in the next five years about 2000 new PMU will be deployed in substations, conventional power generators and renewable energy resources. The continuously growing amount of data produced by the WAMS compared with the traditional approach poses new challenges from the point of view of signal processing, data management and network infrastructure. Since 2008, XM has conceptualized and implemented a communications network dedicated to information traffic associated with the operation of the national electricity grid, mainly synchrophasors. iSAACnet, as it is known, works under the publisher / subscriber paradigm, in which information flows on a data bus and each node can produce or consume information on demand, with the particularity that in iSAACnet each node is an intelligent decision device (iDD) capable of performing advanced processing and serve as multiprotocol gateway. iSAACnet is currently composed of six nodes distributed in substations, the data bus is backed by a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network. This paper reviews the history of the use of synchrophasor measurements in Colombia, and shares the efforts that XM has made to achieve in the short term having a scalable communications network oriented to the management and processing of information associated to the national grid operation.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123742592","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}
