Smart grids provide bidirectional power and information flow by integrating many IoT devices and software. These advanced IOTs and cyber layers introduced new types of vulnerabilities and could compromise the stability of smart grids. Some anomalous consumers leverage these vulnerabilities, launch theft attacks on the power system, and steal electricity to lower their electricity bills. The recent developments in numerous detection methods have been supported by cutting-edge machine learning (ML) approaches. Even so, these recent developments are practically not robust enough because of the limitations of single ML approaches employed. This research introduced a stacked ensemble method for electricity theft detection (ETD) in a smart grid. The framework detects anomalous consumers in two stages; in the first stage, four powerful classifiers are stacked and detect suspicious activity, and the output of these consumers is fed to a single classifier for the second-stage classification to get better results. Furthermore, we incorporate kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and localized random affine shadow sampling (LoRAS) for feature engineering and data augmentation. We also perform comparative analysis using adaptive synthesis (ADASYN) and independent component analysis (ICA).

This is crucial for ensuring the stability and reliability of the system. This paper introduces a protection scheme for accelerating the second zone operation of the distance relay during internal faults. The proposed scheme exploits the locus of power with positive power characteristics to effectively distinguish between internal and external faults. This is achieved by detecting the remote circuit breaker operation (RCBO). The locus of power remains predominantly within regions 1 or 2, with occasional transfers between these regions due to internal faults prior to and following the RCBO. Conversely, in the case of external faults, regions 3 or 4 are implicated. This distinct variation in the locus of power is applied to derive the protection algorithm. This is affirmed through sequence network analysis of various faults in the transmission line. The cumulative rate of change in relative reactive power has been employed for single-phase RCBO detection. The proposed protection logic employs supplementary undervoltage logic to avoid single-phase operation during two-phase and three-phase faults. The simulations are conducted with meticulous consideration of key factors, such as fault type, fault resistance, fault location, fault inception angle, and power source angle. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protection scheme.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51293,"journal":{"name":"International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/9100505","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141968200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These converters are designed to incorporate intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, fuel cells (FCs), and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) into the grid. However, conventional DC-DC converters have limitations including lower efficiency, voltage ripple, insufficient voltage regulation, and compatibility issues. This article presents boost and bidirectional buck-boost converters for direct current microgrid (DCMG) applications, employing an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for control. These proposed converter configurations adeptly manage wide input voltage fluctuations from intermittent sources, consistently supplying power to the DC bus at 500 V and 120 V for boost and buck operations, respectively, with an efficiency of 98.8%. The output voltage result shows that the ANFIS-based boost converter has 10% overshoot as compared to 41% and 50% overshoot in proportional integral (PI) and fuzzy logic controller (FLC), respectively. In both buck and boost modes, the converters’ voltage gain is influenced by duty ratio adjustments only, not sensitive to dynamic input voltage and flexible manipulation of the output voltage for BESS charging. Moreover, the designed converters accommodate load variations within the MG. To assess the converters’ ability to regulate output voltage effectively, PI, FLC, and ANFIS controllers are implemented and compared. And the ANFIS controller demonstrates superior performance, offering faster response times and enhanced stability.

However, the expanded power system must have ability to resist against any outages influenced on the frequency response of the system. So, several frequency-constrained expansion planning models are extracted to provide a reliable infrastructure to manage the frequency behavior. The main distinction of our model with others is considering the failure of grid-connected renewables in the expansion planning models. Furthermore, due to the lack of information about the uncertainty of malfunctions, a distributionally robust optimization approach is applied to the problem under several ambiguity radiuses. The results of implementing the proposed method on the IEEE RTS96 case show that increasing the penetration of malfunctioned units can lead to more investment on the thermal units to prevent frequency violation under any outage in the system. With increase of the Kullback–Leibler divergence from zero (stochastic) to 3 (robust), the cost of the robust model is increased about 0.02%.

However, there is a risk of higher voltages and currents during a DC line fault. The barrier to the advancements of VSC-MTDC systems is the nonavailability of commercial, higher-rated DC circuit breakers. This necessitates research on alternative methods of DC fault-clearing schemes with available technologies. In this direction, a superconducting fault current limiter (SCFCL) is an alternative option to mitigate the problems encountered in VSC-MTDC system operation. Because of this, there are not many VSC-MTDC systems available worldwide. This paper discusses different issues associated with the transient performance of the VSC-MTDC system.

These complexities pose significant issues in designing effective control for frequency regulation and consensus-based economic load dispatch (ELD) within DRES to meet varying load demands. To address the above challenges, this research employs a machine learning-based distributed multiagent consensus design that offers a rapid and robust approach, mitigating the limitations associated with the Distributed Average Integral (DAI) control design.

The price elasticity and consumer profit are the foundation for DR modeling. The optimization problem is developed as mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) and solved using GAMS software. For the case study, an insular microgrid consisting of two microturbines, a wind turbine, solar photovoltaic, and battery storage is considered.

The outcomes show that by implementing TOU and DLC DR programs, the operating cost is reduced by 13.55% and 9.68%, respectively.

Therefore, a combination of the two, i.e., TOU + DLC DR, is proposed, reducing operating costs by 10.73% while increasing profit for users.

However, the core drawback that has negated the proficient estimation of energy is the modelling of occupant behavior relative to energy use. Occupants’ behavior is a complex phenomenon and has a dynamic nature influenced by numerous internal, individual, and circumstantial factors. This research proposes a computational intelligence-based model for household electricity usage profile development as impacted by core input variables—household activities, household financial status, and occupancy presence. The incorporation of these variables and their adaptiveness is expected to address and resolve unpredictability or nonlinearity concerns, thus allowing for adept energy usage estimation. The model addresses issues unresolved in many other studies, such as occupancy determination (deduction) and the impact on energy consumption. The performance precision of this approach has been demonstrated by trend series analysis, demand analysis, and correlation analysis. Based on the performance indicators including mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean square error (MSE), and root mean square error (RMSE), the model has shown proficient predictive output with respect to the metered (actual) energy usage data.
