These systems can not only provide energy but can also generate considerable revenue by providing frequency regulation services and participating in carbon trading. This study proposes a bidding strategy for PV and BESSs operating in joint energy and frequency regulation markets, with a specific focus on carbon reduction benefits. A two-stage bidding framework that optimizes the profit of PV and BESSs is presented. In the first stage, the day-ahead energy market takes into account potential real-time forecast deviations. In the second stage, the real-time balancing market uses a rolling optimization method to account for multiple uncertainties. Notably, a real-time frequency regulation control method is proposed for the participation of PV and BESSs in automatic generation control (AGC). This is particularly relevant given the uncertainty of grid frequency fluctuations in the optimization model of the real-time balancing market. This control method dynamically assigns the frequency regulation amount undertaken by the PV and BESSs according to the control interval in which the area control error (ACE) occurs. The case study results demonstrate that the proposed bidding strategy not only enables the PV and BESSs to effectively participate in the grid frequency regulation response but also yields considerable carbon emission reduction benefits and effectively improves the system operation economy.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"12 2","pages":"427-439"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10433420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140291171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the existence of various control methods aimed at correcting system frequency deviations at the secondary control level without any communication network, the challenges associated with these methods and their abilities to simultaneously restore microgrid VaF have not been fully investigated. In this paper, a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) model reference adaptive controller (MRAC) is proposed to achieve VaF restoration while accurate power sharing among distributed generators (DGs) is maintained. The proposed MRAC, without any communication network, is designed based on two methods: droop-based and inertia-based methods. For the microgrid, the suggested design procedure is started by defining a model reference in which the control objectives, such as the desired settling time, the maximum tolerable overshoot, and steady-state error, are considered. Then, a feedback-feedforward controller is established, of which the gains are adaptively tuned by some rules derived from the Lyapunov stability theory.

These challenges include low sensitivity and even rejection. Besides, the negative impact of various nonideal conditions, including current transformer (CT) saturation, errors, and outliers, on the security of differential protection remains an important problem. Motivated by the aforementioned issues, this study accounts for the trajectory distribution discrepancy on Cartesian plane under various conditions and proposes a time-domain differential protection method. In this paper, the trajectory formed by operating and restraining current samples is developed. Subsequently, after considering different operating states, the fault severity levels, and nonideal conditions, the variances in trajectory distribution between internal and external faults are extensively analyzed. On this basis, the Cartesian plane is divided into operating, uncertainty, and restraining zones. Further, the operating and restraining trajectory indices are meticulously designed and a protection criterion based on these indices is formed to accurately separate internal faults from other events, unaffected by CT saturation, errors, and outliers. The exceptional performance of the proposed protection method is extensively validated through PSCAD simulations and a hardware-in-the-loop testing platform. Regarding the dependability, sensitivity, and security, the proposed protection method outperforms three state-of-the-art differential protection methods.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"12 4","pages":"1074-1086"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10422879","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the forecast intensity of a typhoon disaster, this paper proposes analytical modeling of disaster-induced load loss for preventive allocation of mobile power sources (MPSs) in UPNs. First, based on the topological structure and fragility model of overhead lines and substations, we establish an analytical load loss model of multi-voltage-level UPN to quantify the spatial distribution of disaster-induced load loss at the substation level.

However, the efficiency and cost performance have remained significant challenges, which hinders the widespread adoption and development of BESSs. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a real-time energy management scheme that considers the involvement of prosumers to support net-zero power systems. The scheme is based on two shared energy storage models, referred to as energy storage sale model and power line lease model. The energy storage sale model balances real-time power deviations by energy interaction with the goal of minimizing system costs while generating revenue for shared energy storage providers (ESPs). Additionally, power line lease model supports peer-to-peer (P2P) power trading among prosumers through the power lines laid by ESPs to connect each prosumer. This model allows ESP to earn profits from the use of power lines while balancing power deviations and better consuming renewable energy. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, ensuring stable power supply for net-zero power systems and providing benefits for both the ESP and prosumers.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"12 2","pages":"371-380"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10419164","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140291138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, most of the proposed EV charging management techniques rely on the availability of high-bandwidth communication links. Such techniques are far from realization due to ① the lack of utility-grade communication systems in many cases such as secondary (low-voltage) power distribution systems to which EVs are connected, rural areas, remote communities, and islands, and ② existing fears and concerns about the data privacy of EV users and cyber-physical security. For these cases, appropriate local control schemes are needed to ensure the adequate management of EV charging without violating the grid operation requirements. Accordingly, this paper introduces a new communication-less management strategy for EV charging in droop-controlled islanded microgrids. The proposed strategy is autonomous, as it is based on the measurement of system frequency and local bus voltages. The proposed strategy implements a social charging fairness policy during periods when the microgrid distributed generators (DGs) are in short supply by allocating more system capacity to the EVs with less charging in the past. Furthermore, a novel communication-less EV load shedding scheme is incorporated into the management strategy to provide relief to the microgrid during events of severe undervoltage or underfrequency occurrences due to factors such as high loading or DG outages. Numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategy over the state-of-the-art controllers in modulating the EV charging demand to counteract microgrid instability.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"12 4","pages":"1227-1238"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10401003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
