Unlike other assets, usage parameters such as number of storage cycles and depth of discharge (DOD) have a dramatic nonlinear effect on the lifetime of battery energy storage systems (BESSs). Hence, it is imperative to include the relationship between lifetime, number of storage cycles, and DOD of BESS in the optimal asset planning formulation. This paper presents a new formulation and solution for the optimization problem of asset expansion planning in power distribution systems. The research considers adding new BESS units to existing distribution grids. The nonlinear life–cycling–usage relationship of BESS has been modeled for the first time in the context of asset expansion planning in power systems. The formulation aims at minimizing the annualized cost of the expansion plan while satisfying forecasted demand and other distribution system requirements. The methodology is used to optimally plan for the expansion of 6-bus and 33-bus distribution networks. The results show the effect of considering the life–cycling–usage relationship of BESS on optimal asset expansion plans including the optimal size and capacity of the assets. In addition, the impact of the ratio of off-peak load to peak load on total asset cost is analyzed and reported. It is shown that an annual cost saving of 51.79% is possible via the proposed approach. Findings of this paper will capture the attention of planning and asset management departments of electric distribution utilities. <italic>Résumé</italic>—La planification de l’expansion des actifs dans les systèmes de distribution est vitale et devrait être étendue aux systèmes de stockage d’énergie à grande échelle, tels que les batteries. Contrairement à d’autres actifs, les paramètres d’utilisation tels que le nombre de cycles de stockage et la profondeur de décharge (PDD) ont un effet non linéaire considérable sur la durée de vie des systèmes de stockage d’énergie par batterie (SSEB). Il est donc impératif d’inclure la relation entre la durée de vie, le nombre de cycles de stockage et la PDD du SSEB dans la formulation optimale de la planification des actifs. Ce document présente une nouvelle formulation et solution au problème d’optimisation de la planification de l’expansion des actifs dans les systèmes de distribution d’énergie. La recherche envisage l’ajout de nouvelles unités SSEB aux réseaux de distribution existants. La relation non linéaire cycle de vie utilisation du SSEB a été modélisée pour la première fois dans le contexte de la planification de l’expansion des actifs dans les systèmes électriques.

The federal energy regulatory commission orders 755 and 784 pave a road for ES systems in providing such services in a competitive manner. In developing ES solutions for grid applications, often single-technology solutions are considered. Under certain conditions, a hybrid ES system (HESS) comprising different technologies might best provide expected services at the least annualized capital cost; an individual technology seldom provides all the desired characteristics at the least cost. In this work, an HESS is optimally designed at grid-scale for a desired performance at the least annualized capital cost. The design is constrained by requirements of the system and characteristics of an individual ES technology. The proposed HESS combines storage units based on lithium-ion batteries, flywheels, and ultracapacitors. A synthetic data set and Ontario power grid data are considered as candidate case studies seeking ES solutions. The proposed methodology optimally sizes HESS providing minimum cost. It is undoubtedly shown that in certain situations, HESS provides the least annualized costs in comparison to systems constructed out of a single technology. <italic>Résumé</italic>—Les systèmes de stockage d’énergie (SE) sont capables de fournir des services précis de haute qualité tels que la régulation de fréquence, l’écrêtement de pointe et l’amélioration de la stabilité des systèmes de réseaux électriques.

These adders are initially demonstrated by a sequence of unmodified identical blocks. Then, they are simplified in order to decrease hardware components.

The 2-D blurred image is transformed into 1-D horizontal blurred vectors along the blurring paths. Hence, the deconvolution of stacked horizontal blurred vectors is implemented in an iterative deconvolution process by a 1-D image restoration method that saves computation time. The deconvolution process is usually implemented in the frequency domain by fast Fourier transform (FFT). The computation time of FFT used in the 1-D image restoration method for the blurred vectors is about two-fifths of that of 2-D FFT used in the common image restoration method. To get stacked horizontal blurred vectors, we first incorporate orthogonal Chebyshev polynomial into the proposed method to extract pixels along the blurring paths. Then, we expand horizontal blurred vectors smoothly to reduce boundary artifacts. At last, we add a nonquadratic regularization term to the Richardson-Lucy algorithm, which adaptively penalizes the image gradients, to avoid oversmoothing of details. Experimental results for real motion-blurred images demonstrate that our approach runs much faster than the 2-D deblurring algorithm, while achieving as high restoration accuracy and visual perception as the 2-D deconvolution algorithm.","PeriodicalId":55287,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering-Revue Canadienne De Genie Electrique et Informatique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2017-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/CJECE.2017.2751623","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48836597","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}

Nevertheless, these electrical motors still concede failures [e.g., interturn short circuit (ITSC) and broken rotor bar], which may lead to unplanned shutdowns. Consequently, manufacturing industries invest significant resources to avoid them with maintenance. Some studies have been achieved in this area of research, but any of the optimal solution (detecting, localizing, and estimating the degree of severity of failures) has been developed. Thus, in this paper, we propose to perform a comparison of performance and robustness between different classification algorithms, which can detect, approximate (severity of the failure), and localize (which phase) the ITSC in the stator phase(s) of the three-phase induction machine. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that such an evaluation has been suggested by using automated classification into predefined categories for ITSC in the stator phase(s) detection (recognition).

To reduce the computational burden in dealing with a large volume of waveform data, a novel zone detection method has been used where a large power network is divided into optimal number of zones with manageable number of buses and lines. A first module of the artificial neural network-based classifier has been developed to perform an “exploratory global search” to find the faulty zone, which is then refined to a “local search” within a zone, by a second module of classifier for determination of exact fault location and fault type. The elementary waveform data are being captured by disturbance recorders placed at strategic buses, termed as “monitoring locations.” Feature extraction, which is typically the underlying principle of any waveform analysis-based fault detection approach, is implemented by the extended Kalman filter. The proposed method has been successfully tested on the IEEE 57 bus network with encouraging results.","PeriodicalId":55287,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering-Revue Canadienne De Genie Electrique et Informatique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2017-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/CJECE.2017.2751661","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41831040","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}

This paper proposes a new mathematical model for optimal scheduling of energy resources and smart management of loads which includes smart charging of PEVs, DR, and operation of battery energy storage systems (BESSs), for isolated microgrids. Different case studies are developed to examine isolated microgrid operations when the demand increases, and how the energy management model copes with such increase.

The great advantage of ESN is that they offer an easy way to train the RNN. To make full use of ESN, one needs to first identify their global (hyper) parameters. These are input scaling, leaking rate (for leaky ESN), spectral radius, and the size of the ESN. The most recommended way to get their optimal (or suboptimal) values is by trial-and-error. However, in practice, this method has a very low efficiency. In order to tackle this problem, we propose a novel “zoom-in-zoom-out” (ZIZO) algorithm for generating the global parameters automatically. The proposed technique consists of two major parts. First, we generate random ranges for the parameters of ESNs. Then, based on bootstrap-sampling, we search the optimal solution within the fixed specific ranges.

In addition, they do not require any data for the switching angle of circuit breakers or measurement of residual flux. Additionally, the number of diodes and the inductance value of two proposed diode bridges decreases compared to a three diode bridge in three-phase structures and improve bridge type inrush current limiting for primary grounded and nongrounded transformers. The two proposed methods for inrush current limitation are applicable for all transformers, which have a Y of Yn connection in their primary side. The proposed methods can be used for Y-yn, Yn-yn, Y-delta, Yn-delta, and Y-zn connections and there is no limitation on the secondary side winding type.
