The methodology is based in steady state and time domain simulations performed by MATLAB Simulink®. As results steady state power flow and time domain voltages and currents are obtained and supraharmonic indicators are proposed for analysis. In order to simulate the electrical power system, transmission lines are modelled by Pi equivalent circuit based on distributed parameters and linear models of transformers are considered. Furthermore, wind power plants are modelled as aggregations of several wind turbines. A study case based on the west side of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul is proposed to validate the modelling and simulation methodology. Results show that the level of supraharmonics emission from WPP is straightly related to the PWM modulation of power inverters. Furthermore, the propagation of supraharmonics into transmission grids follows a linear tendency of decreasing according to the distance in transmission lines to the point of common coupling (PCC) of the wind power plants. Anyway, intrinsic characteristics at each point of the grid such as load profile, generation and presence of capacitor banks also influence the behavior of supraharmonic propagation.","PeriodicalId":448644,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Conference and Exhibition - Latin America (T&D LA)","volume":"49 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":"114571720","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}

A balance between generation and demand is the main requirement for efficient operation by the electric utilities. Therefore, a load forecast as accurately as possible is important to offer a good service with adequate economic viability. In this work, four types of short-term load forecasting based on neural networks are proposed and compared. A Nonlinear autoregressive neural network (NAR), a Nonlinear autoregressive neural network with external input (NARX), a Feedforward neural network (Feedforward), and a Time delay neural network (Timedelay) are modeled and simulated. A comparison among proposed neural networks is done using metrics established in the evaluation of neural networks, such as Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Correlation Coefficient (R). The data used in this work was extracted from the Operating Center of a local company of distribution of electric energy. These data are pretreated using curve smoothing techniques, and then, they are used to train the selected neural networks. Moreover, a simulation using the Prophet, a Facebook® procedure to predict time series, was made to compare the results with the mentioned neural networks.","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":"114604002","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}

Thus, this paper aims in studying the impacts of distributed photovoltaic generation. The main focus is voltage rises caused by solar panels. Also, active losses, the number of tap changing operation of voltage regulators, and the presence of reverse power flow were analyzed. Two droop control methods were considered: volt-watt and volt-var controls.

The probabilistic analysis of transient stability allows establishing a probability density function (PDF) of the CCT behavior. This PDF is calculated by means of Monte Carlo simulations in which the CCT is evaluated for each generated scenario. The bisection method is applied for calculating the CCT. This method consists in iteratively modifying the fault duration time (tf) and evaluating transient stability for each tf via the hybrid method SIME (Single Machine Equivalent). Finally, a proposal for assessing the risk involved in the transient stability assessment is structured using the concepts of Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR).

One failure in one of the many devices that are part of the SCADA could produce a failure in the supervision and control of one substation, one region or even a whole country; and because the hardware infrastructure needed to implement a SCADA system might come to be massive in terms of the numbers of devices for the communication network, servers and more; it becomes crucial to have a well-structured and efficient monitoring system for the SCADA infrastructure of any power transmission control center. In this paper it is proposed a monitoring scheme based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) used to get realtime data of the devices involved in these systems, such as: servers, communication switches, workstations, routers and firewalls; and also, the real-time monitoring of essential software functions, not only from the SCADA but from the Energy Management System (EMS) as well. The acquired data is processed into early warning signs (alarms), tendency graphs and visualizations with real-time data that allows the administrators to manage the SCADA infrastructure in a preventive and not in a reactive manner, which secures the operation against failures and events. This scheme was implemented in four electrical power transmission control centers in South America which operate up to 500 kV grids. The implementation showed clear benefits in the use of this novel scheme because the detection, diagnostics and solution for possible risks in the system could be managed in an earlier stage than it used to be, which incremented the availability and reliability of the SCADA system infrastructure.","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":"115055620","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}

Short term electricity demand forecasting is crucial to optimize the economic dispatch of electricity generation, improving the rational use of resources. It also allows improving energy efficiency and demand response policies related with smart grids. Classical statistical models have been applied to predict electricity demand but with the recent development of computational hardware and the vast amount of data available from various sources, computational intelligence models have emerged as successful methods for prediction. In this article, two artificial neural network architectures are presented and applied to forecast the total electricity demand of Uruguay for the next day. The first architecture combines Long Short Term Memory units (LSTM) with fully connected neural networks layers, and the second architecture improves the first by adding a Convolutional Neural Network as first layer (CNN+LSTM). Both architectures use a dropout technique to avoid overfitting. An ExtraTreesRegressor model is used as benchmark to evaluate both architectures. Three steps of data preprocessing are carried out, including treating missing values, removing outliers, and standardization. Considering the high computing demands of the applied techniques, they are developed and executed on the high performance computing platform provided by National Supercomputing Center (Cluster-UY), Uruguay. Standard performance metrics are applied to evaluate the proposed models. The experimental evaluation reports successful forecasting results: the CNN+LSTM model has a mean absolute percentage error of 4.3% when applied to the prediction of unseen data.","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":"125838841","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}
