In the new technological environment, new modeling and analysis approaches need to be developed to study the reliability and economic impacts of DER on the electric distribution system operation. In this study, a novel method for approximating nodal voltage sensitivities is proposed, based on some important observations made about the radial distribution system. The proposed method can efficiently compute voltage sensitivities for all network nodes based on one topology search and one power flow solution. The results have been validated using the perturbation analysis performed on the IEEE 13-Bus Test Feeder model. The proposed method for voltage sensitivity approximation can be applied in the studies of large unbalanced radial distribution systems for supporting distribution system planning and operation decisions.","PeriodicalId":6497,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89934347","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}

In this paper, two different PHS technologies are studied, namely the traditional fixed-speed technology and the adjustable-speed technology. Mathematical models are developed for the two types of PHS technologies. A two-step approach is proposed to evaluate and compare the capabilities of the two PHS technologies to provide regulation reserves. The proposed approach represents the scheduling and the deployment of regulation reserves. The case study shows that the adjustable-speed PHS is more effective than the fixed-speed PHS in balancing renewable uncertainties in power systems.","PeriodicalId":6497,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89986757","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}

Consequently, it is difficult for the system operator to determine the optimal amount of conventional generation that should be committed and its corresponding power production in order to reduce generation costs. Incorporation of forecasting error on the optimal unit scheduling has been extensively suggested in the literature. However, it strongly depends on the probability distribution adopted to represent wind power forecasting error. Cauchy distribution has demonstrated to be an adequate tool to represent forecasting error. In this paper, an analytical model to solve dynamic economic dispatch is presented. The proposed model is based on discretization of Cauchy distribution, so that its incorporation in the optimization problem is successfully done. This is illustrated by analyzing a representative case study and the results are compared to a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in order to show the accuracy of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":6497,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"67 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76657896","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}

The time series model Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) is applied to provide the point estimation and prediction interval for next 24 hours based on the historical load and wind data.
