The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is used to detrend the frequency signal, and an auto-regressing moving-average (ARMA) model is used to describe the time series data and the modified yuler walker (MYW) algorithm is used to estimate the AR parameters.

Fault ride through (FRT) capability of a wind farm is very important, as it is a common requirement by the grid codes practiced all over the world. In this work, to enhance the FRT capability of a DFIG based wind farm, the parallel resonance fault current limiter (PRFCL) is proposed. To check the effectiveness of the proposed PRFCL, its performance is compared with that of the bridge-type fault current limiter (BFCL). A three-phase-to-ground (3LG) fault was applied to one of the double circuit transmission lines at the wind farm connection point of the multi-machine system to investigate the FRT capability. Simulations were carried out in Matlab/Simulink environment. Simulation results show that the PRFCL is a very effective auxiliary device to achieve better FRT. Moreover, it was found that the PRFCL outperforms the BFCL.","PeriodicalId":6497,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"39 27","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":"91514813","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 power management controllers use IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging. The project team performed thorough hardware-in-the-loop testing using a Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) along with traditional protection test-set testing to validate system operation for designed transitions and anticipated equipment failure modes.

A current-source based generator model is introduced that provides for more robust and efficient convergence as compared to our original approach. We show that the proposed framework supports nonlinear models with insensitivity to the initial guess and converges in few iterations. We illustrate the capabilities of generalized modeling by deriving a model for a grid-connected solar panel system that includes AC, DC and semiconductor components.","PeriodicalId":6497,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"27 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":"87151403","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}

They are usually switched in and out of the system according to the amount of connected load. This paper analyzes measurement data of a distribution utility with capacitor banks located downstream from the power quality monitor. It was observed that the amount of reactive power injected into the system was larger than the necessary, resulting in power factor over correction. The paper then provides an analysis method to determine the capacitor bank size to achieve a desired power factor correction. An algorithm is also proposed to override a switching control (usually time, voltage, or temperature), such that the switching is performed only if the power factor is below a preset minimum value. Moreover, it is advised to switch each phase individually, as the reactive power flow differs significantly between the three phases.","PeriodicalId":6497,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition (T&D)","volume":"18 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":"89056163","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 system, the home area network is the electrical grid of a house and the neighborhood area network is the low voltage electrical distribution grid of the neighborhood.
