There is an increasing interest in Demand-Side Management (DSM) by utilities and regulators throughout the country. With this interest, there is an increasing need for DSM evaluation. Regulators expect utility engineers to use least cost planning and integrated resource planning approaches to adjust their generation capacity plans to reflect DSM. Increasingly, utilities are considering DSM to affect their T&D capacity plans. One utility CEO recently commented that no major distribution enhancements will be made until all DSM options have been exhausted. However, major utility DSM programs are less than a decade old. This leaves many utility engineers uneasy. How do they know that DSM will be there when they really need it? To verify and improve the contribution of DSM programs, utility analysts have developed a set of methodologies and procedures for evaluating DSM. The purpose of this panel session was to review these state of the art evaluations and the lessons learned from them so far. We explore the differences inherent in evaluating DSM at the T&D level versus the generation level, and we review DSM's persistence and reliability in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

The work reported in this paper aims at developing an algorithm for system operators to solve a robust security-constrained AC optimal power flow (R-SC-ACOPF) problem, which also optimizes the settings of discrete controllers including load tap changers (LTCs) and shunt capacitor banks (SCBs). An iterative algorithm involving a master problem and a number of sub-problems is proposed. The master problem selects the optimal discrete controllers’ settings by taking into account primal SC-ACOPF constraints based on the single-component worst contingencies identified by the sub-problems. Each sub-problem is a bi-level max-min problem used to find the current worst contingency. The overall objective is to minimize the total cost, including generation and load shedding cost, while satisfying all relevant constraints. The master problem and sub-problems allow representing LTC tap positions, SCB status, and contingencies using binary variables. Two case studies are presented as applications of this novel technique.

Time-of-use (TOU) is an effective price-based demand response strategy. A reasonable design of TOU strategy can effectively reduce the peak-valley difference, and then produce a lot of benefits (such as delaying power grid investment, reducing interruption cost, and improving reliability). However, changing peak-valley period has a great influence on the peak-valley difference and power supply reliability of power system. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the optimal modification of peak-valley period considering reliability loss under multiple TOU schemes. Firstly, this paper presents a clustering model and algorithm of optimal load curve based on a minimum error iteration method. Secondly, an optimal modification of peak-valley period based on a dynamic load point method is proposed, and the traditional peak-valley difference is replaced by the global peak-valley difference to calculate the objective function. Thirdly, this paper establishes a load–reliability relation fitting model based on the back propagation neural network. Finally, the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed method are investigated by the Roy Billinton test system and reliability test system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Time-domain indirect methods based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality techniques (LMIs) have been applied for delay-dependent stability analysis of large-scale load frequency control (LFC) schemes. This paper aims to enhance the numerical tractability of large-scale LMIs by exploiting the special characteristics of the LFC loops. First, in the typical LFC model, only a few delayed states that are directly influenced by transmission delays are distinguished from other normal system states. Hence, an improved reconstruction model is formed, based on which the delay-dependent stability condition is established with the decreased order of the LMIs and decision variables. Then, to further improve the numerical tractability of the developed stability criterion, all weighting matrices required in the augmented Lyapunov functional are enforced to have structural restrictions by proposing an extended symmetry-exploiting technique. Case studies show that the method proposed in this paper significantly improves the calculation efficiency of stability criterion established for multi-area power systems at the cost of only a minor reduction in computational accuracy.

Power system inertia is declining and is increasingly variable and uncertain in regions where the penetration of non-synchronous generation and interconnectors is growing. This presents a challenge to power system operators who must take appropriate actions to ensure the stability and security of power systems relying on short-term forecasts of the system’s inertial response. Existing models to forecast inertia fail to quantify uncertainty, which may prevent their utilization given the risk aversion of the system operators when handling stability issues. This paper is the first to develop a model to produce calibrated, data-driven probabilistic forecasts of the inertia contribution of transmission-connected synchronous generators. The model provides a necessary tool for system operators to quantify forecast uncertainty, allowing them to manage the risk of frequency instability cost-effectively. The paper demonstrates that the assumption of a Gaussian distribution of uncertainty applied in existing models is not acceptable to accurately forecast the inertial response and provides a satisfactory forecast model by combining non-parametric density forecasting with parametric tail distributions. Moreover, the paper shows that satisfactory predictive performance can only be achieved by adopting a rolling horizon forecast approach to deal with the rapidly changing characteristics of the inertial response in power systems.

In interconnected power systems, operated by several system operators, the participating areas are strongly dependent on their neighbors. In order to identify the economically efficient generation dispatch in each area, a distributed multi-area optimal power flow (OPF) must be solved. Additionally, installation of an increasing number of HVDC lines to deal with increased power flows from renewable generation is expected to change the power system operation paradigm. The controllability introduced by the HVDC lines should be considered and incorporated in the OPF algorithm. In this paper we introduce a formulation for the distributed solution of the OPF problem in multi-area systems consisting of both HVAC and HVDC lines. We show the applicability of this formulation on two different operating schemes for HVDC grids and we compare their performance with a central solution for the mixed HVAC/HVDC grid. The proposed formulations are based on a linearized solution of the OPF problem. The only data to be exchanged between the areas pertains to the border nodes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Load profile classification is very important in load forecast, planning and management. Although customers are generally grouped by utilities into residential, commercial classes and respective subclasses, there is a lack of systematic framework that can be used to characterize different classes with signatures that are both human-readable and machine-readable. The work presented in this paper attempts to formulate the theoretical framework for customer classification using the annual load profiles. This paper demonstrates how to extract characteristic attributes in frequency domain (CAFD) and use these CAFDs to formulate a hierarchy of load profiles that can be used as the systematic framework for customer load classification. As signatures for customer classes and subclasses, the CAFDs are obtained by using a data mining method called CART (classification and regression tree). The paper presents a load profile classification test to establish the efficacy of the proposed approach which is significant improvement over current practices that provide mostly qualitative labeling.

This paper proposes an approach to determine the participation of algebraic variables in power system modes. The approach is based on a new interpretation of the classical participation factors, as well as on the definition of adequate output variables of the system's state-space representation. The paper considers both the linear and generalized eigenvalue problems for the calculation of the participation factors and presents a theorem to cope with eigenvalue multiplicities. An illustrative example on the two-area system, as well as a study on a 1479-bus dynamic model of the all-Irish transmission system are carried out to support the theory and illustrate the features of the proposed approach.

This paper is concerned with a fuzzy analysis of power-flow (PF) involving uncertainties of load demands and network parameters. The crux of this paper is to propose an advanced fuzzy arithmetic. Fuzzy transformation method merges with backward–forward sweep in order to evaluate the contribution and propagation of uncertainty in IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus distribution systems. Results are validated by true intervals and random ranges. To determine true intervals, Global Optimization Problems (GOPs) are defined and solved through derivative-based and free techniques. To estimate random ranges, Monte-Carlo Simulations (MCSs) are employed. Our findings confirm that the sharpness of fuzzy intervals, tractability of computations, and applicability of possibility distributions. Following scenario-based evaluations, this paper discusses new implications of power losses, voltage profiles, optimal re-configuration, feeder extension, and reactive power compensation so that results would be beneficial to system planners and operators. Altogether, this paper provides a blueprint for a new way to handle uncertainties in a wide variety of power system problems without global optimization, linearization, and randomized simulations.

INDUCTION machinery ,INDUCTION motors ,DYNAMIC stability ,DYNAMICAL systems - Abstract
Aggregated loads of induction motors are often used in the study of power system dynamic stability. This paper reports the finding that aggregation of the same or similar induction motors may likely cause the dynamic instability. Theoretical analysis is presented in the paper to show that a group of N same induction motors in parallel connection is equivalent to N dynamic independent subsystems. Oscillation modes of one of the equivalent subsystems are affected by the number of induction motors. Hence, when the number of induction motors increases, it is possible that the oscillation modes of the group of induction motors may move toward the right on the complex plane, leading to the dynamic instability in the worst case. The analysis explains why aggregation of induction motors may possibly bring about the risk of power system dynamic instability. In this paper, case studies of an example power system with a cluster of induction motors are presented. Results of modal computation and simulation demonstrate that when the number of induction motors increases, aggregation of the same or similar induction motors leads to the dynamic voltage instability and growing low-frequency electromechanical power oscillations in the test case.

This paper discusses a recent event in the western American power system when a forced oscillation was observed at a frequency that was close to a well-known 0.38-Hz inter-area electromechanical mode frequency of the western system. The event motivates a systematic investigation in this paper on the possibility of resonant interactions between forced oscillations and electromechanical inter-area oscillatory modes in power systems. When the natural oscillatory mode of a power system is poorly damped, and the forced oscillation occurs at a frequency close to system mode frequency at critical locations for the mode, resonance is observed in simulation test cases of the paper. It is shown that the MW oscillations on tie-lines can be as high as 477 MW from a 10-MW forced oscillation in Kundur test system because of resonance. This paper discusses the underlying system conditions and effects as related to resonance in power systems caused by forced oscillations and discusses ways to detect such scenarios using synchrophasors. Simulated data from Kundur two-area test power system as well as measurement data from western American power system are used to study the effect of forced oscillations in power systems.

This paper proposes a method to design power system stabilizers (PSSs) based on single-machine infinite-bus system models to mitigate the risk of low-frequency electro- mechanical power oscillations in an N-machine power system. First, models of N fabricated identical-machine power systems are established for the N-machine power system. Analysis in the paper indicates that the electromechanical oscillation mode of fabricated identical-machine power systems with the least damping is of less damping than the electromechanical oscillation modes of N-machine power system. Second, it is proved that models of fabricated identical-machine power systems are dynamically equivalent to the single-machine infinite-bus system models. Finally, it is suggested that the PSSs are designed using single-machine infinite-bus system models to enhance the least damped electromechanical oscillation mode of fabricated identical-machine power systems. This eventually improves the damping of electromechanical oscillation modes of N-machine power system, thus mitigating the risk of low-frequency electromechanical power oscillations. In the paper, the proposed method is demonstrated and evaluated by using three well-known example multi-machine power systems. Effectiveness of PSSs is confirmed by the results of modal computation and simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The modern power grid features the high penetration of power converters, which widely employ a phase-locked loop (PLL) for grid synchronization. However, it has been pointed out that PLL can give rise to small-signal instabilities under weak grid conditions. This problem can be potentially resolved by operating the converters in grid-forming mode, namely, without using a PLL. Nonetheless, it has not been theoretically revealed how the placement of grid-forming converters enhances the small-signal stability of power systems integrated with large-scale PLL-based converters. This paper aims at filling this gap. Based on matrix perturbation theory, we explicitly demonstrate that the placement of grid-forming converters is equivalent to increasing the power grid strength and thus improving the small-signal stability of PLL-based converters. Furthermore, we investigate the optimal locations to place grid-forming converters by increasing the smallest eigenvalue of the weighted and Kron-reduced Laplacian matrix of the power network. The analysis in this paper is validated through high-fidelity simulation studies on a modified two-area test system and a modified 39-bus test system. This paper potentially lays the foundation for understanding the interaction between PLL-based (i.e., grid-following) converters and grid-forming converters, and coordinating their placements in future converter-dominated power systems.

Phase angle measurements from synchrophasors show discontinuities when they roll over from +180 to -180 degrees or vice versa. This paper proposes efficient strategies for unwrapping of the angles in real-time data streams. Examples presented in this paper first show that the phase angle differences across bus voltage phasors can go over 360 degrees in a synchronized power system under stressed conditions. Unwrapped phase angles are shown to be useful in fast reliable islanding detection methodology, and for phase angle arithmetic such as for averaging of phase angles and for phase angle difference calculations. Strategies for handling missing phase angle data in real-time data streams are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

As the inverter-based generation replaces the conventional synchronous generators, it may also need to fill in the missing ancillary service support. One of these ancillary services is dynamic reactive power provision and voltage control. This paper analyzes optimal strategy of reactive and active fault-current support of the inverter-based generation leading to fast voltage recovery of the system. For the purpose of the analysis, new ramping active current controller able to emulate different behavior of active current injection is proposed. By optimizing its parameters for different case studies of the system, the conclusions about optimal behavior of the inverter based generation with respect to system parameters and operating conditions are drawn. It is observed that the optimal combination of active and reactive fault-current is the most sensitive to the dynamic load component penetration levels in the system. With the increasing penetration levels, the significance of active fault-current injection increases. The results show that with higher penetration levels of dynamic load component in the heavy load areas, the ramping down of the inverter-based generation active fault-current results in slower voltage recovery of the system. Following this conclusion, a recommendation on update of current European grid codes is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transient stability of a power system can be significantly affected by wind power generators due to their stochastic power output and complex dynamic characteristics. This paper proposes a robust optimization approach for coordinating generation dispatch and emergency load shedding against transient instability under uncertain wind power output. The problem is modelled as a two-stage robust optimization (TSRO) model considering transient stability constraints, where the first-stage is to optimize the generation dispatch (preventive control) before a contingency and the second-stage decision is the emergency load shedding (emergency control) after the contingency occurrence under the worst case of wind power variation. To solve this TSRO problem, this paper also proposes a solution algorithm which integrates transient stability assessment and transient stability constraint construction in a column and constraint generation framework. The proposed method is validated on the New-England 39-bus system and the Nordic32 system, which shows high computational efficiency and stability robustness against uncertain wind power.

Following Part I of this paper that reveals two distinct interpretations of demand curves and the corresponding different forms of the market clearing formulation, Part II of this paper analyzes the sequential and the iterative market clearing algorithms currently implemented in some markets. It is shown that these algorithms lead to socially sub-optimal solutions. The root cause of the problem is the lack of a clear representation of the demand benefit. The social surplus optimization based on the proper interpretation of demand curves is then proposed. A small numerical example is used to demonstrate the significant optimality gap between the socially optimal solution and the sequential/iterative solution. The potentially large impacts of the gap on the societal benefit and the individual resource revenues entail a close examination of these algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The introduction of an equivalent model for a regional power area in a large-scale power system with complex loads is essential for reducing the computation burden in real-time dynamic analyses. In this paper, we propose a generalized discrete-time equivalent model (GDEM) with specific relations among model parameters for simulating the physical characteristics of a regional power area. The GDEM facilitates the interconnection of equivalent models representing regional power areas and improving the simulation accuracy and speed in large-scale dynamic power systems. This paper first investigates the inherent relations among GDEM parameters in the discrete-time models of synchronous generators and composite loads so as to guide the GDEM parameter estimation in regional power areas. This paper then develops relations among GDEM parameters for a regional power area. Numerical experiments are conducted by simulating ground faults in the China Electric Power Research Institute system and the accuracy of the proposed GDEM is verified by analyzing the dynamic simulation results. In addition, this paper has applied the GDEM to study the regional power area of Central China, which validates the use of GDEM in practical power system analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After any major blackout, recreating the exact scene is one of the crucial but foundation steps in postmortem analysis. This helps in identifying and understanding the exact causes and sequence of events to avoid such failures in the future. Rather, power system restoration demands critical skills which involves deployment of appropriate strategies based on information about various factors, notably the extent and duration of the blackout, location of black-started units, interconnections with neighbouring systems, generator capabilities, and selecting appropriate restoration paths. The actual execution of the restoration plan consists of many surprises of unique nature and a lot of learning’s to avoid future occurrences of such incidents. The restoration efforts and failure of Mumbai grid failure on October 12, 2020, are highlighted in this paper. The paper first proposes formulating the dynamic models to get a better insight of the restoration process in the event of critical issues during this incident. The various challenges faced in systematic recovery of such a large system and lessons learnt from it forms focus of the paper. The paper also discusses factors not covered in existing literature, such as weather, fuel availability, and water mass oscillations which plays an important role in the restoration.

This paper presents a dynamic event data-based stability risk assessment method for power grids with high penetrations of inverter-based resources (IBRs). This method relies on obtaining the IBRs’ DQ admittance through dynamic event data and computing the system’s eigenvalues based on the admittance models. Two critical technologies are employed in this research, including time-domain and frequency-domain data fitting and $dq$ -frame voltage and current signal derivation. The first technology is key to obtaining the $s$ -domain expressions from the transient response data, and the $s$ -domain DQ admittance model from the frequency-domain measurements. The second technology is key to obtaining the $dq$ -frame voltage and current signals from either the three-phase instantaneous measurements or the phasor measurement unit (PMU) data. The method is illustrated using data generated from a Type-4 wind power plant modeled in PSCAD. This paper demonstrates the technical feasibility of the proposed approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper proposes a control scheme to improve the dynamic response of power systems through the automatic regulators of converter-based Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). In this scheme, both active and reactive power control of DERs are varied to regulate both frequency and voltage, as opposed to current practice where frequency and voltage controllers are decoupled. To assess the proposed control against the current state-of-art, the paper also defines a metric that captures the combined effect of frequency/voltage response at any given bus of the network. Results indicate that the proposed control strategy leads to a significant improvement in the stability and performance of the overall power system. These results are based on a comprehensive case study carried out by employing a modified version of the IEEE 39-bus benchmark system, where a portion of the synchronous machines is substituted by converter-interfaced DERs. The impact on the proposed control of load models, the $R/X$ ratio of network lines, as well as the level of DER penetration to the grid, are properly evaluated and conclusions are duly drawn.

Since modern smart grids have various and deeply coupled cyber-physical components, they are vulnerable to malicious cyber attacks. Although regular defenses including firewall and IDS are deployed, they may be weakened by zero-day vulnerabilities and sophisticated attack schemes. Therefore, defense strategies to mitigate the risk of blackouts during cyber attacks are necessary. This paper proposes a cyber-physical coordinated defense strategy to overcome the disruption and minimize the risk as much as possible. At the cyber layer, a zero-sum multilevel Markovian Stackelberg game is proposed to model sequential actions of the attacker and the defender. The defender distributes defensive resources to protect lines in a real-time manner, according to the attacker's action. If cyber attacks should result in physical outages, defense at the physical layer is then employed. A security-constrained optimal power flow reserving security margin of critical components will be performed to minimize the blackout scale and potential future risk. To solve the corresponding optimization problem and further get the optimal defense strategy, this paper devises a novel “water-pouring” algorithm. Lastly, test results show that the proposed dynamic defense strategy mitigates risk significantly and outperforms existing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we analyze the existence and stability of equilibrium of dc micro-grids under the master-slave control (where some distributed generations (DGs) are under droop control with dual-loop (Droop-DGs) and some DGs are under MPPT control (MPPT-DGs)). Firstly, the power-flow equation of the dc micro-grids under master-slave control with CPLs is obtained. Then, we transform the solvability of the power-flow equation into the existence of a fixed point for a contraction mapping. Based on Banach's fixed point theorem, a sufficient condition to guarantee the existence of the power-flow solution in dc micro-grids is derived. The condition derived in this paper is not only useful for master-slave control but also for droop control. Besides, to calculate the power-flow solution, an iterative algorithm with exponential convergence rate is proposed. Secondly, we use a singular perturbation model to predict the qualitative behavior of the system near the equilibrium point. By analyzing eigenvalues of the boundary layer system and reduced-order system Jacobian matrix, the robust stable analytic conditions of the system are obtained. The effect of the sampling delay on the system stability is analyzed, the robust stability condition is obtained by using linear matrix inequality.

Extreme events can cause severe power system damage. Resilience-driven operation of networked microgrids (MGs) has been heavily studied in literature. There is, though, little research considering the influence of resilience on decision making for planning. In this paper, a three-level model is suggested to solve the optimal sizing problem of networked MGs considering both resilience and cost. In the first level, a meta-heuristic technique based on an adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) is utilized to tackle the normal sizing problem, while a time-coupled AC OPF is utilized to capture stability properties for accurate decision-making. The second and third levels are combined as a defender-attacker-defender model. In the former, the suggested AGA is utilized to generate attacking plans capturing load profile uncertainty and contingencies for load shedding maximization, while a multi-objective optimization problem is suggested for the latter to obtain a trade-off between cost and resilience. Simulations considering meshed networks and load distinction into critical and non-critical are developed to demonstrate algorithm effectiveness on capturing resilience at the planning stage and optimally sizing multiple parameters. The results indicate that higher resilience levels lead to higher investment cost, while sizing networked MGs leads to decreased investment in comparison with standalone MGs sizing.

RELIABILITY in engineering - Abstract
This paper presents a novel procedure for energy management system (EMS) that can utilize the flexibility in transmission networks in a practical way. With the proposed enhanced EMS procedure, the reliability benefits that are provided by corrective transmission switching (CTS) in real-time contingency analysis can be translated into significant cost savings in real-time security-constrained economic dispatch. Simulation results show that the congestion cost with consideration of CTS is largely reduced as CTS can relieve potential post-contingency network violations. The effects of integrating CTS in existing EMS procedure on markets are also analyzed. In conclusion, this two-part paper shows that CTS can achieve substantial reliability benefits, as well as significant cost savings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper considers the problem of sub-synchronous resonances (SSR) in doubly fed induction generators connected to the grid through series-compensated lines. The existence of oscillations is observed on a laboratory test-bed in various conditions, with instabilities developing in the worst-case scenario. Despite the limitations of a small-scale test-bed, the ability to investigate problems and solutions in ways that would not be possible on a full-scale system is very valuable. In particular, the paper demonstrates the significant effect of the choice of dq reference frame on the severity of SSR. Stator-aligned algorithms are found to be significantly more resonant than grid-oriented algorithms, as evidenced in experiments as well as using an analysis method proposed in the paper. From this observation, an algorithm is proposed to emulate a grid-alignment using stator voltages and currents, but without measurements of the grid and series-capacitor voltages. Two control laws are then presented to regulate the active and reactive powers generated, resulting in well-damped transient responses. SSR oscillations are found to be eliminated in experime, as well as simulations of a full-scale system and using a frequency response analysis of the closed-loop system. The effectiveness of the proposed control schemes is verified through experiments for different compensation levels and varying speeds. Within the assumptions made in the design, the proposed controllers are global. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the dynamic aggregation of a group of M same wind turbine generators (WTGs) in a parallel connection. The group of WTGs could either be a part of a grid-connected wind farm or constitute the entire wind farm. Analytical derivation in this paper indicates that the group of M same WTGs is equivalent to M dynamically independent subsystems. Each of the subsystems is comprised of a single WTG. Hence, the dynamic aggregation of a grid-connected group of same WTGs in a parallel connection can be represented by grid-connected single-WTG subsystems for studying the oscillation stability. Further analysis in this paper reveals that when the number of WTGs in a parallel connection increases, it is possible that oscillation modes of the group of WTGs may move into the right half of a complex plane. Thus, the dynamic coupling of the increasing number of WTGs in a parallel connection may likely cause growing oscillations in the wind farm. An example grid-connected DFIG wind farm is used to demonstrate and evaluate the analysis and conclusions made in this paper. The oscillation stability of the example wind farm was examined when the dynamic models of a group of DFIGs in a parallel connection in the example wind farm were identical and different.

In this paper, an expression for the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) on the frequency and damping of electromechanical modes is derived. This provides an invaluable tool when documenting the performance capabilities of mode meter algorithms, as the CRB is used as a benchmark to which mode meter variance may be compared. It is shown that the derived CRB expression is supported by several well-known mode estimation phenomena, and it is numerically validated using the asymptotically efficient Prediction Error Method (PEM) on Monte Carlo simulations of an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model. Finally, a practical use case is given, in which the CRB on the frequency and damping of an inter-area mode from the miniWECC system is used to compare the performance of several well-known mode meters in a study of how sample size affects accuracy.

High-quality generator dynamic models are critical to reliable and accurate power systems studies and planning. With the availability of PMUs, measurement-based approach for model validation has gained significant prominence. In this approach, the quality of a model is analyzed by visually comparing measured generator response with the model-based simulated response for large system disturbances. This paper proposes a new set of performance metrics to assess the model validation results to facilitate automation of the model validation process. In the proposed methodology, first, the slow governor response and comparatively faster oscillatory response are separated, and then a separate set of performance metrics is calculated for each of these two components. These proposed metrics quantify the mismatch between the actual and model-based response in a comprehensive manner without missing any information enabling automation of the process. Furthermore, in this paper, we are also proposing that the sensitivity analysis for model calibration be performed with respect to the proposed metrics for the systematic identification of key parameters. Results obtained using both simulated and real-world case-studies validate the effectiveness of the proposed performance metrics for model validation and their application to the sensitivity analysis for model calibration.

The commutation failure (CF) is the most common fault in line-commutated high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC) systems that may lead to the transient overvoltage in the sending-side system. In the worst condition, the CF may lead to large-scale wind turbine tripping. To resolve this problem, the mathematical relationship between the reactive power consumed by the rectifier and DC voltage, DC current is derived. Then, a transient overvoltage calculation method is proposed in this paper. Furthermore, the mechanism of transient overvoltage caused by the CF is analyzed; it is revealed that the reason for three times transient overvoltage is the rapid decrease of the reactive power consumed by the rectifier during the CF and the recovery period from the CF. This paper proposes a constant reactive power control (CRPC) to inhibit transient overvoltage of the sending-side AC system. The proposed CRPC can increase the reactive power consumed by the rectifier, reduce the exchange reactive power between AC and DC systems, and suppress the transient overvoltage. A simulation model in PSCAD serves to verify the proposed CRPC on the transient overvoltage suppression in the situation of different fault types, fault duration, fault severity and short circuit ratio (SCR).

This paper proposes a novel inertia-enhanced distributed control method to complement the inertia of microgrids. The rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) and the rate of change of voltage (RoCoV) are employed in this paper to quantify the frequency inertia and voltage inertia, respectively. Then, a fully distributed algorithm with constrained changing rates is proposed. By bounding the changing rates of frequency and voltage during the consensus control, the algorithm can address the consensus problem while enhancing the inertia of microgrids. Compared with most inertia control methods, the proposed method can utilize the reserve power of scattered DGs to supply inertia. Besides, it performs better under disturbances and delays than conventional distributed control methods. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by several cases in MATLAB/Simulation and a hardware experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the impact of discrete secondary controllers on the dynamic response of power systems. The idea of the paper originates from the observation that there is a range of values, from few tens of seconds to few minutes, of the execution cycles of conventional automatic generation control (AGC) that leads to a limit cycle. Below and above this range the system is stable. This is certainly not a problem in practice as the AGC updates the power set points of generating units every few seconds. However, this phenomenon has interesting consequences if one considers real-time electricity markets with short dispatch periods (i.e., 5 minutes) as these markets can be modeled as a sort of AGC. The paper first provides a formal analogy between conventional AGC and real-time electricity markets. Then it shows that the discretization-driven instability exists if the system includes a real-time electricity market modeled as secondary frequency controller. Finally, the paper discusses the impact of the combined effect of high wind generation shares and discrete secondary controllers on power system dynamics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dawn of quantum computing brings on a revolution in the way combinatorially complex power system problems such as Unit Commitment are solved. The Unit Commitment problem complexity is expected to increase in the future because of the trend toward the increase of penetration of intermittent renewables. Even though quantum computing has proven effective for solving a host of problems, its applications for power systems’ problems have been rather limited. In this paper, a quantum unit commitment is innovatively formulated and the quantum version of the decomposition and coordination alternate direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is established. The above is achieved by devising quantum algorithms and by exploiting the superposition and entanglement of quantum bits (qubits) for solving subproblems, which are then coordinated through ADMM to obtain feasible solutions. The main contributions of this paper include: 1) the innovative development of a quantum model for Unit Commitment; 2) development of decomposition and coordination-supported framework which paves the way for the utilization of limited quantum resources to potentially solve the large-scale discrete optimization problems; 3) devising the novel quantum distributed unit commitment (QDUC) to solve the problem in a larger scale than currently available quantum computers are capable of solving. The QDUC results are compared with those from its classical counterpart, which validate the efficacy of quantum computing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTERCONNECTED power systems ,OPERATING costs ,POWER plants - Abstract
This paper investigates the potential contribution that interconnectors can provide to efficiently support the security of interconnected power systems. The proposed modelling setup introduces a radical paradigm shift in the operation of the interconnectors and in their interactions with multiple markets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that models a simultaneous allocation of the interconnector capacity for the exchange of energy and of inertia-dependent primary frequency response. The benefits and impact of this new methodology are evaluated with typical market indicators (e.g., social welfare and interconnector revenues) under two different paradigms: a centralized approach where the interconnectors are operated to minimize the system operational cost and a market-based framework where the interconnectors are privately-owned assets with self-interested objectives. By modelling the interconnectors as “price-maker”, the proposed work quantifies the potential inefficiencies of market solutions while considering key elements such as capacity withdrawing. A case study of the GB-France systems assesses the value of interconnectors on system efficiency and security under the considered paradigms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Microgrid's voltage regulation is of particular importance during both grid-connected and islanded modes of operation. Especially, during the islanded mode, when the support from the upstream grid is lost, stable voltage regulation is vital for the reliable operation of critical loads. This paper proposes a robust and data-driven control approach for secondary voltage control of AC microgrids in the presence of uncertainties. To this end, unfalsified adaptive control (UAC) is utilized to select the best stabilizing controller from a set of pre-designed controllers with the minimum knowledge required from the microgrid. Two microgrid test systems are simulated in MATLAB to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method under different scenarios like load change and communication link failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper proposes an optimization approach for day-ahead reactive power planning to improve voltage security in transmission networks. The problem is formulated as a voltage-secure multi-period optimal reactive power dispatch (MP-ORPD) problem. The optimization approach searches for optimal set-points of dynamic and static reactive power (var) resources. Specifically, the output includes set-points for switching shunts, transformer taps, and voltage magnitudes at the regulated buses. The primary goal is to maximize the dynamic reactive power reserve of the system, by minimizing the reactive power supplied by synchronous generators. As the size of the MP-ORPD problem increases significantly with increasing number of contingencies and time periods, efficiency is crucial for practical applications. In this paper, a decomposition technique based on consensus and alternating optimization, where integer variable targets are obtained via MILP, is used to partition the MP-ORPD problem into a set of subproblems, which can be solved in parallel to reduce the computation time. The proposed MP-ORPD problem and its solution algorithm are integrated into the EPRI-VCA software. The results of various power networks of large electric utilities in the Eastern interconnection demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in providing preventive control schedules.

A Hybrid AC/DC microgrid (MG) can integrate distributed generation sources and distributed loads on the AC and DC side of the MG by eliminating many unnecessary power conversion devices, which is more flexible and efficient. However, to achieve reliable and economic operation of a hybrid AC/DC MG is challenging due to its complex structure. In this paper, a novel distributed event-triggered hierarchical control strategy is proposed to improve the economic operation of a hybrid AC/DC MG. For the primary control, distributed local controls of AC DGs, DC DGs, and interlinking converters (ICs) are realized by adopting the droop control method. For the secondary control, the distributed economic dispatch, distributed average bus voltage discovery, and distributed proportional power-sharing algorithms are first proposed; then, control objectives of voltage and frequency restoration and economic operation of the hybrid AC/DC MG are realized based upon the developed algorithms. Furthermore, the distributed secondary control is built upon an event-triggered mechanism developed in this paper, which can reduce the communication burden. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Economic dispatch with valve-point effect (EDVPE) considered is presented as a more accurate model of the real problem compared to the conventional economic dispatch model. It is basically a non-convex, non-differentiable, and multi-modal optimization model with many local minima. Part I of the paper focuses on the local minimum analysis of the EDVPE. The analysis indicates that a local minimum consists of the singular points, the small convex regions, and the output of a slack unit that is dispatched to balance the load demand. Two types of local minima are identified and the second type could be ignored. To verify the rationality of the analyses, a traverse search has been performed to solve the EDVPE with and without considering the transmission loss on different test systems. All the simulation results support the analysis given in the paper. To effectively solve the EDVPE on a large-scale power system, based on the analysis presented in this paper, a new method, dimensional steepest decline method, is proposed in Part II of the paper.

State estimation (SE) of distribution networks heavily relies on pseudo measurements that introduce significant errors, since real-time measurements are insufficient. Interval SE models are regularly used, where true values of system states are supposed to be within the estimated intervals. However, conventional interval SE algorithms cannot consider the correlations of same interval variables in different terms of constraints, which results in overly conservative estimation results. In this paper, we propose a new interval SE model that is based on the relative distance measure (RDM) arithmetic. In the proposed model, measurement errors are assumed to be bounded in given sets and the state variables are described as RDM variables. Since the SE model is a non-convex, the solution's credibility cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, each nonlinear measurement equation in the model is transformed into dual inequality linear equations using the mean value theorem. The SE model is finally reformulated as a linear programming contractor that iteratively narrows the upper and lower bounds of the estimated state variables. Numerical tests on IEEE three-phase distribution networks show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional interval-constrained propagation, modified Krawczyk-operator and optimization based interval SE methods.

Volt-VAR optimization (VVO) has been investigated extensively in power systems. However, under the era of integrated energy systems (IES), the growing interdependencies between different energy systems complicate traditional VVO. This is further hardened by incurred gas quality problems due to the hydrogen injection in IES, produced by widely applied power-to-gas (P2G) facilitates that couple between power and gas systems. This paper develops a two-stage volt-VAR-pressure optimization (VVPO) model for PV-penetrated IES to manage the variation of system voltages while managing gas quality indices. In addition to the traditional voltage regulating devices, P2G facilities, which can mitigate fluctuating PV output via converting the surplus generation into hydrogen, are also used for voltage management. A two-stage distributionally robust optimization (DRO) based on moment information is utilized to model PV uncertainty. A semidefinite programming model is formulated and finally solved by the constraint generation algorithm. A 33-bus-20-node IES is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed VVPO on voltage management, ensured gas quality with high economic efficiency. The proposed VVPO is applicable to injecting other green gases into gas systems while ensuring power quality and enable system operators to provide low-cost but high-quality multi-energy to customers.

This paper investigates systemwide short-term voltage stability concerns of power systems due to the multiple parametric uncertainties in the dynamic load model. The impact of regional load model uncertainty can be widespread and may mislead the whole system analysis and subsequent measures, if not properly addressed. This research discloses that the systemwide impact is related to the voltage weak areas through voltage stability modal analysis, and suggests that the impact of uncertain parameters needs to be assessed from a systems perspective, which has rarely been done in the existing practices. We thus present a three-step methodology for evaluating the systemwide uncertainty impacts: Firstly, it screens possible trajectories of all buses. The second step verifies whether the screened trajectories comply with the defined criteria, and determines the necessity of the final step. The final detailed analysis is conducted for those selected scenarios. Comprehensive studies for both the IEEE test and real Korea power systems consistently confirm the observations and demonstrate the efficacy and validity of the proposed method.

CALIBRATION ,PARAMETER estimation ,DECISION making - Abstract
A good quality stability model is a key factor for accurate power system operations.Inaccurate parameters of the stability models affect the decision making which paves the way for serious consequences. Thus, it is necessary to calibrate the stability model parameters in a regular manner. There are several calibration methods in the literature which are based on simultaneous estimation of the parameters and states. However, not all of the model parameters are well estimable simultaneously. Simultaneous estimation of parameters with high collinearity may result in biased calibration results. In this paper, the trajectory sensitivity method is used to detect the sensitive parameters and construct the sensitivity matrix. Then, parameters with high linear dependency are identified using the sensitivity matrix. It is shown that, despite the high sensitivity of a parameter, its estimability degrades as the collinearity with other parameters increase. In this paper an identifiability analysis that detects the collinearity among the sensitive parameters is proposed. The proposed method is validated using WSCC 9-Bus System. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
