The intermittent nature and uncertainty of these energy sources, influenced by varying wind speeds and solar irradiation, complicate their integration into power systems. This paper proposes a solution to the ORPD problem in systems with RE-DG integration using the Archimedes Optimization Algorithm (AOA). The uncertainties of wind and solar power generation were modelled using Weibull and lognormal probability density functions (PDFs), respectively, and the optimization model was tested using a scenario-based method. The AOA was applied to the IEEE 57 bus system to minimize power loss, voltage deviation, and voltage stability index (VSI). The results demonstrated that AOA contributed to a 15.7% reduction in power loss, and an 83.9% enhancement in VSI compared to the base case. In the multi-objective optimization scenario, AOA achieved a 7.1% reduction in power loss, with an additional 11.6% improvement upon the integration of DGs. The performance of AOA was also compared with other metaheuristic algorithms, demonstrating superior results in terms of tracking accuracy and convergence speed. AOA outperformed the multi-objective ant lion optimization (MOALO) and the Levy-based Interior Search Algorithm (LISA) in terms of power loss reduction and voltage stability. AOA achieved a 1.83% lower power loss and a 29.67% lower VSI compared to MOALO. When compared to LISA, AOA achieved a 1.68% lower power loss, demonstrating its superior optimization capabilities. These findings confirm that AOA is a highly effective method for solving the ORPD problem, accounting for renewable energy uncertainties and improving overall system performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 110676"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143828159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges increase with increasing renewable generation, such as in Aotearoa New Zealand. To address these challenges, Demand Response (DR) can reduce peak loads and balance demand with intermittent supply, extending network lifetimes and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In Aotearoa New Zealand, residential demand is the largest contributor to peak loads and a key target for DR. However, residential demand is highly influenced by human behaviour. Current electricity demand models are typically deterministic or stochastic and do not capture behavioural dynamics, the understanding of which is crucial for successful DR. This research presents an agent-based model of residential electricity demand in low-voltage networks, which is built using high-level census data and thus generalisable to regions with similar available data. The model is constructed in MATLAB R2022b with sub-models for appliance use, space heating, and water heating, and validated with real electricity demand profiles from low-voltage distribution transformers in Aotearoa New Zealand and data from appliance use in homes around the country. By incorporating realistic behaviours and their variability, this model offers a platform for testing how human behaviour influences DR strategies and impacts human outcomes. Thus, it can inform and improve the design of DR programs based on program uptake and desired outcomes, leading to decreased network costs through increased resilience and energy security, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions through better utilisation of intermittent renewable generation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 110671"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143823978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, a consensus control strategy is proposed to coordinate multiple ESs participating in voltage control and frequency regulation. This strategy consists of three layers. The upper layer generates reference voltage and reference angular frequency for each node based on a consensus algorithm. The middle layer calculates d-axis and q-axis components of ES reference output voltage, subsequently synthesizing the reference output voltage of ES. The bottom layer utilizes adaptive sliding mode control to ensure actual output voltage of ES tracks the reference output voltage in real time.

This paper proposes a novel topology for DFIG-based WTG by integrating a hybrid interlinking transformer (HIT) and energy storage system. The proposed HIT-DFIG system consists of a grid-side converter, rotor-side converter, series converter (SEC), HIT, and direct current energy storage system (DC-ESS). The proposed HIT-DFIG actively adjusts the voltage of the series winding through SEC, achieving active support for the DFIG terminal voltage under grid fault conditions. The DC-ESS provides power support for HIT during the FRT period and has a power smoothing function. Subsequently, the operating principle, and mathematical modeling of HIT-DFIG are analyzed to demonstrate the function of series voltage regulation of HIT. Then, a simplified FRT control strategy is presented, purposed to enhance the low/high/harmonic voltages ride-through capability of DFIG during grid fault scenarios.

As the coupling between operation and planning is increasing, it is not only necessary to observe the intraday charging load characteristics, but also to consider the evolutionary trend of the spatial and temporal distribution of charging loads over long timescales. Therefore, a multi-time scale charging load forecasting method for EPCs based on an improved gravity model that considers stochastic charging behavior is proposed. First, a consumer state decision model based on the Markov chain is construct to deduce the EPC ownership, as the basic data for charging load prediction. Second, based on the travel chain model and the improved gravity model, the user travel behavior for different typical days, seasons and years in each region and each time period in the future is described. Then, a stochastic charging behavior model based on the Hybrid Choice Model (HCM) is constructed. This model is used to simulate the stochastic charging behavior that takes differentiated individual attributes and attitudinal latent variables into consideration, and a simulation process for EPC charging load prediction at multiple time scales, including typical days, seasons, and years, is established.

Due to the wake effect, the change of the operating state during the wind turbine deloading will directly affect the output of the downstream wind turbine. However, existing deloading strategies still conservatively estimate the maximum power of the wind farm using traditional maximum power point, which ignores the potential power generation capacity caused by the wake effect, and uses it as the baseline power for deloading. This will result in the actual deloading ratio of the wind farm exceeding the grid demand, i.e., excessive deloading, which is adverse to the economic operation. Therefore, to achieve more precise deloading, this paper first combines the key parameters of wind turbine – the rotor speed and pitch angle, and constructs a wind power analysis sensitivity model considering the influence of the wake effect. On this basis, the operating point of each wind turbine that maximizes the wind farm output is analyzed, which is no longer the maximum power point due to the wake effect. Further, a maximum power estimation method for wind farm is proposed, and a precise deloading strategy is designed using this maximum power as the baseline. This strategy further improves the power generation efficiency of the wind farm while precisely meeting the deloading demand of the grid.
