This paper uses a modified version of the incremental clustering by fast search and find of density peaks (CFSFDP) algorithm for daily profiles, considering the multivariate normal kernel density estimator and incremental forms of the Davies-Bouldin (iDB) and Xie-Beni (iXB) validity indices. Case studies conducted using real-world and simulated daily profiles of residential and commercial Chilean end-users have demonstrated how the proposed framework can continuously characterize DR.

A novel sequential approach is proposed to obtain transiently stable equilibrium points through the preventive control of transient stability and transient voltage sag (TVS) problems caused by a severe disturbance. The proposed approach conducts a sequence of non-heuristic optimal active power re-dispatch of the generators to steer the system toward a transiently secure operating point by sequentially solving the transient-stability-constrained optimal power flow (TSC-OPF) problems. In the proposed approach, there are two sequential projection stages, with the first stage ensuring the rotor angle stability and the second stage removing TVS in voltage magnitudes. In both projection stages, the projection operation corresponds to the TSC-OPF, with its formulation directly derived by adding only two steady-state variable-based transient constraints to the conventional OPF problem. The effectiveness of this approach is numerically demonstrated in terms of its accuracy and computational performance by using the Western System Coordinated Council (WSCC) 3-machine 9-bus system and an equivalent model of the Mexican 46-machine 190-bus system.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"12 5","pages":"1357-1369"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10375948","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324366","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}

The proposed DVNTO problem is a stochastic, large-scale, nonlinear integer programming problem. To solve it tractably, a tailored three-stage solution methodology, including a scenario generation and reduction stage, a dynamic period partition stage, and a topology identification stage, is presented. First, to address the challenges posed by uncertainties, a novel problem-specified scenario reduction process is proposed to obtain the representative scenarios. Then, to obtain the minimum number of necessary operations to alter the network topologies for the next 24-hour horizon, a dynamic period partition strategy is presented to partition the hours into several periods according to the hourly voltage information based on the voltage stability problem. Finally, a topology identification stage is performed to identify the final network topology scheme.

In converter-based islanded microgrid (CIM) systems equipped with grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) voltage-source converters (VSCs), it is challenging to maintain stability due to the mutual coupling effects between different VSCs and the loss of voltage and frequency support from the power system. In previous studies, quantitative transient stability analysis was primarily used to assess the active power loop of GFM-VSCs. However, frequency and voltage dynamics are found to be strongly coupled, which strongly affects the estimation result of stability boundary. In addition, the varying damping terms have not been fully captured. To bridge these gaps, this paper investigates the transient stability of CIM considering reactive power loop dynamics and varying damping. First, an accuracy-enhanced nonlinear model of the CIM is derived based on the effects of reactive power loop and post-disturbance frequency jump phenomena. Considering these effects will eliminates the risk of misjudgment. The reactive power loop dynamics make the model coefficients be no longer constant and thus vary with the power angle. To evaluate quantitatively the effects of reactive power loop and varying damping on the transient stability of CIM, an iterative criterion based on the equal area criterion theory is proposed. In addition, the effects of parameters on the stable boundary of power system are analyzed, and the dynamic interaction mechanisms are revealed. Simulation and experiment results verify the merits of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"12 4","pages":"1170-1182"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10355074","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769485","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}

Therefore, it is essential to design a suitable secondary controller (SC) with a fast dynamic response to restore voltage and appropriate power-sharing, while ensuring that the effects of random communication disorders are eliminated. In this regard, an optimal distributed hybrid model predictive secondary control method is presented in this paper. Realistic simulations are carried out in a mixed simulation environment based on MATLAB and OMNET++, by considering IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) using the recently developed Internet networking (INET) framework.

The distribution system restoration (DSR) depends on the interaction among the electric network (EN), cyber network (CN), and traffic network (TN). However, the coordination of these three networks and co-dispatching of multiple recovery resources have been mostly neglected. This paper proposes a novel DSR framework, which is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem. The failures in cyber lines result in cyber blind areas, which restrict the normal operation of remote-controlled switches. To accelerate the recovery process, multiple recovery resources are utilized including electric maintenance crews (EMCs), cyber maintenance crews (CMCs), and emergency communication vehicles (ECVs). Specifically, CMCs and ECVs restore the cyber function of switches in cooperation, and EMCs repair damaged electric lines. The travel time of these three dispatchable resources is determined by TN.
