However, planning Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities for this kind of system is a challenge in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul (Pantanal-MS), due to the environmental complexity of this region, marked by seasonality and access restrictions. In this paper the transport route planning for photovoltaic off grid O&M attendance was modelled as the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). The inputs considered to obtain the graph of the problem were: the monthly schedule of O&M activities, according to the specification of the systems; flood periods of the region; and the available access routes to the studied area of the Pantanal-MS. Each of these routes was characterized in terms of the most adequate mode of transportation and the mean travel time spent, by the suggested transport mode, in the course of each route. The TSP problem was solved by an optimization method modelled to minimize total travel time and transport mode variation. The results obtained were compared to a solution method based only in logistic time minimization and achieved a significant impact in O&M total cost.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"125 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":"115160583","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 these systems employ single-phase protection devices such as fuses, most utilities have avoided the use of single-phase tripping (SPT) schemes in their reclosers. In order to evaluate SPT implementation feasibility on reliability indices and regulatory report perspectives, this paper presents a detailed distribution feeder secondary voltage analysis when the SPT with three-phase transformers over a radial distribution feeder is implemented. Aiming on a practical application, a real overhead distribution feeder was modeled in Alternative Transients Program, allowing protection algorithm implementation and transient simulation. In this paper, three different types of independent phase-interrupting equipment are evaluated: recloser, lateral fuse and transformer fuse. The obtained results are divided into two approaches: the transient analysis, evaluating the voltage behavior on time domain, and the steady-state sensitivity analysis, evaluating the load level impact on secondary voltage level after the single-pole opening as a response to single-phase-to-ground faults.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"21 5 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":"131177145","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 planning problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming problem and its solution determines the optimal allocation of capacitor banks (CBs) and wind-based distributed generation (DG) units. To validate the proposed strategy, three different test cases are analyzed using a 134-node system and its respective simplified 23-node EDS.

Each voltage regulator makes sure that the pilot bus of the corresponding control zone remains within limits. The proposed control scheme was tested in a large-scale distribution circuit model extracted from the Geographical Information System of a Costa Rican power utility. The tests show that the proposed scheme performs better than the traditional voltage control at generator's terminal. In addition, the proposed scheme increases the cooperation between distributed generators to regulate network voltages.

Thus, this work proposes that a prior analysis be carried out to find these strategic positions, in order to assist in the final allocation of the meters through Genetic Algorithms. The validation of the proposed methodology was carried out using the IEEE 34-bus distribution system.

This storage resource was chosen among others as it is the most promising technology considering their recent remarkable advances. In order to understand the impact on the electric system, firstly a long-term simulation was done so as to determine when this system would become profitable. Then three annual simulations were executed comparing the system operation (i.e. costs, the energy not supplied, CO2 emissions and generation mix), for two cases with batteries (with different participation models), and for the case without them. Finally, the regulatory aspects related to storage penetration that are under debate nowadays in the PJM 1 and UK markets were studied in order to learn some lessons for the development of an adequate regulatory framework in Uruguay. It was found that a lithium ion battery of 80 MWh/20 MW becomes viable by 2039 and its annual operation can reduce the energy the system fails to deliver, the annual thermal generation, CO2 emissions and the system’s marginal cost. Moreover, some barriers and business opportunities were found. If barriers are removed and new opportunities are developed batteries could become viable before.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"15 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":"122457153","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}
