This covers a more homogeneous utilization of the transmission system, to curtail power system extension. To cope with this challenge, load-flow controlling devices can be implemented into the transmission system. Up to now, this task has been fulfilled with phase shifting transformers, which are however limited regarding their dynamics. In the future, this can hence be adopted by power electronics. This paper thus investigates the controlling range of possible technologies in a simple test system, to further analyze possible power electronics topologies. Results show, that a suitable load-flow control can be realized with self-commutated converters as a well-known topology.","PeriodicalId":6670,"journal":{"name":"2019 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78509926","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 analysis is based on measurements performed on real residential installation and the utilized features regarding the formulation of the load signatures of the appliances refer to the odd harmonic current vectors up to the fifth harmonic order. Moreover, a large number of measured appliance combinations is used for the application of the disaggregation schemes in order to evaluate their performance. The first scheme relies on sequential disaggregation for the harmonic orders, starting from the fifth and moving on to the first. The second scheme concerns simultaneous disaggregation of all harmonic orders in a parallel manner. The merits and flaws of both schemes are highlighted and the results indicate that for the parallel disaggregation scheme the appliance identification performance is higher at the expense of the computational burden.","PeriodicalId":6670,"journal":{"name":"2019 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76591791","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}

Due to the small distance between the AC and DC circuits on a hybrid OHL, an AC ripple will be superimposed on the DC conductor surface gradients which influences audible noise (AN) and corona losses (CL). In this paper, calculations regarding capacitive and inductive coupling affecting the surface gradients of the DC circuit of a fictive Austrian 420 kV hybrid OHL are presented. Furthermore, AN measurements were carried out to investigate how an AC ripple affects AN of a DC circuit on hybrid OHL. The results show that the AC ripple increases AN, especially for positive DC polarities, and that the effectiveness of conductor surface treatments is reduced noticeably. Additionally, the gathered results were used to carry out AN and CL predictions for the analyzed Austrian OHL.","PeriodicalId":6670,"journal":{"name":"2019 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88902403","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 paper describes a procedure for determining the thermal stress of a busbar system made of two branches of different electrical loads, with the use of infrared monitoring. Also, the proper way of interpreting the thermal images will be presented. The laboratory experiment is intended to exemplify how to apply the infrared monitoring procedure over the performed infrared investigation. After applying this procedure, the temperature values extracted from the thermal images were accordingly adjusted, and thus a correct interpretation of the identified thermal fault will be achieved.","PeriodicalId":6670,"journal":{"name":"2019 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89181852","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}

Theoretical formulation and literature review are combined to derive the necessary battery characterization. The three main dynamics for modeling the battery are: direct-current electrical equivalent circuit, state-of-charge (SOC) and thermal dynamic. Furthermore, the capacity fade caused by degradation is considered as a fourth dynamic. Degradation is considered as the sum of calendar aging and cycling loss dynamics. The modeling procedure has general validity and can be used for different battery chemistries by changing specific parameters. The model is tailored for a 40 kWh Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) Oxide battery, which is currently used in the Nissan LEAF 2018. Considering a user driving 45 km/day and the temperature of the years 2017 and 2018 in Denmark, the battery capacity fade is found to be between 2 and 5% of the battery capacity after two years of use. Degradation is highly dependent on the average level of SOC during the years.","PeriodicalId":6670,"journal":{"name":"2019 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88616920","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, the results of the application of a set of clustering algorithms (k-means, k-medoids, hierarchical clustering, and price differential clustering) to the formation of the bidding zones are presented. The classical versions of the methods used require post-processing to identify connected bidding zones. The customised versions of the methods incorporate topology constraints in the clustering procedures. The input data are given by locational marginal prices (LMPs), power transfer distribution factors (PTDFs), and network topology information. The clustering algorithms have been applied to the study of a reduced model of the European transmission system, for different numbers of clusters. The results have been assessed by using two synthetic indicators that represent clustering validity and the possible occurrence of market power in the bidding zones formed. Finally, a conjecture has been expressed: methods that use LMPs tend to be more effective according with classical clustering validity-based indicators, while methods that use PTDFs tend to be more effective according with market power-based indicators.","PeriodicalId":6670,"journal":{"name":"2019 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84701840","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}
