With the increase in the monitoring of operational data at very high rates in high voltage substations and the ability to time synchronize these data with global positioning systems, there is a growing need for transmitting this data for monitoring, operation, protection, and control needs. The sets of data that need to be transferred and the speed at which they need to be transferred depend on the application--for example, slow for postevent analysis, near real rime for monitoring and as close to real rime as possible for control or protection. In this paper, we describe GridStat, a novel middleware framework we have developed to provide flexible, robust, and secure data communications for the power grid's operations. Test results demonstrate that such a flexible framework can also guarantee latency that is suitable for fast wide-area protection and control. Index Terms--Computer control of power systems, distributed control, energy-management systems, power system measurements, power system monitoring, power system protection, quality of service (QoS), supervisory control and data-access (SCADA) systems, wide-area control.

This paper deveiops a systematic procedure of designing a centralized damping control system for power grid interarea oscillations putting emphasis on the signal selection and control system structure assignment. Geometric measures of controllability/observability are used to select the most effective stabilizing signals and control locations. Line power flows and currents are found to be the most effective input signals. The synthesis of the controller is defined as a problem of mixed [H.sub.2]/H[infinity] output-feedback control with regional pole placement and is resolved by the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. A tuning process and nonlinear simulations are then used to modify the controller parameters to ensure the performance and robustness of the controller designed with linear techniques. The design process is tested on the New England 39-bus ten-machine system. Index Terms--Damping controller, interarea oscillations, robust control, wide-area control, wide-area measurements.

Electric power production -- Research ,Business ,Electronics ,Electronics and electrical industries - Abstract
In this paper, we present the design of a localized competitive market for reactive power ancillary services at the level of individual voltage-control areas. The concept of electrical distance has been used to identify the different voltage-control areas within a power system. The proposed reactive power market is settled on uniform price auction, using a modified optimal power-flow model. Uniform prices for various components of reactive power service are obtained for each voltage-control area. In the study cases described in the paper, we examine whether such a localized reactive power market is more desirable than a common system-wide reactive power market. Index Terms--Ancillary services, deregulation, market design, reactive power, voltage-control areas.

Electric power systems -- Research ,Business ,Electronics ,Electronics and electrical industries - Abstract
The problem of defining and classifying power system stability has been addressed by several previous CIGRE and IEEE Task Force reports. These earlier efforts, however, do not completely reflect current industry needs, experiences and understanding. In particular, the definitions are not precise and the classifications do not encompass all practical instability scenarios. This report developed by a Task Force, set up jointly by the CIGRE Study Committee 38 and the IEEE Power System Dynamic Performance Committee, addresses the issue of stability definition and classification in power systems from a fundamental viewpoint and closely examines the practical ramifications. The report aims to define power system stability more precisely, provide a systematic basis for its classification, and discuss linkages to related issues such as power system reliability and security. Index Terms--Frequency stability, Lyapunov stability, oscillatory stability, power system stability, small-signal stability, terms and definitions, transient stability, voltage stability.

Electric power systems -- Protection and preservation ,Electric utilities -- Safety and security measures ,Business ,Electronics ,Electronics and electrical industries - Abstract
Fast contingency screening is expected to be an integral part of any practical on-line dynamic security analysis (DSA). Ranking of contingencies requires the use of severity indices, and for DSA such an index must be a measure of stability. From experience in static security analysis, it is well known that some indices work better than others for particular power systems and that combinations of indices usually work better than a single index. For DSA, which is still in its infancy, severity indices are more complex and very few have been tested for screening. In this paper, several indices are proposed for contingency screening in online DSA. These indices are based on the concepts of coherency, transient energy conversion between kinetic energy and potential energy, and three dot products of system variables. Test results on realistic power systems show the promise of these indices in contingency screening. Keywords: Dynamic Security Analysis, Transient Stability, Contingency Screening, Severity Index.

At present, the computational requirement for dynamic security assessment (DSA) is a hurdle for a comprehensive on-line DSA to be implemented in Energy Management Systems. In addition to faster time domain solutions, novel approaches and techniques are being developed for contingency screening and remedial actions. This paper describes one such development in the area of contingency screening which can be seen as an extension of techniques developed over the years for static security analysis. Some new concepts and methods are suggested for both contingency ranking and contingency classification (stable/unstable). Results from realistic test systems illustrate the capabilities and performance of the new approach.

Waveforms -- Research ,Parallel processing -- Usage ,Transients (Electricity) -- Research ,Business ,Electronics ,Electronics and electrical industries - Abstract
Parallel processing to obtain time domain simulation of power system dynamic behavior has been studied for over a decade. In this paper, a parallel across space implementation of a Waveform Relaxation (WR) based algorithm is presented. The algorithm can take full advantage of the inherent properties of power systems, such as coherency grouping and localized fault response, thus significantly speeding up the simulations. In the proposed implementation, a system is broken up into several subsystems based on its coherency, and then each processor is devoted to the computation of the waveform of each subsystem. This is the first time the WR algorithm has been implemented on a parallel machine (Sequent Symmetry S81) and tested on large power systems. The numerical results show very promising performance compared with the commonly used Very Dishonest Newton algorithm, with overall speedups of up to 27 obtained for a 2500-bus system using 20 processors. Keywords Waveform relaxation, parallel processing, dynamic simulation, network partitioning, multiple stepsizes.

Open transmission access is a legal requirement in the United States, but is not fully implemented. Discussion of deregulation has so far focused principally on the tariff structure for transmission access, but operating the power system in this new environment will present significant problems of an almost purely technical nature. Something as simple as frequency control becomes challenging when implemented in the competitive, distributed control environment that true third party wheeling creates. This paper seeks to identify likely deregulation scenarios, identify the technical issues associated with Load Frequency Control, and identify technical solutions, such as standards and algorithms, needed for the operation of this key component of national infrastructure in the face of profound structural changes.

The W-matrix method has the potential to be efficient for parallel computing as a substitute for the precedence stringent substitution schemes, which are being commonly used on sequential computers for the solution of sparse linear matrix equations, with the support of appropriate reordering and partitioning algorithms. In this paper, the factors which may affect the performance of the W-matrix method are examined first. A bus reordering and partitioning scheme is then proposed which is aimed at reducing the fill-ins in both the triangular matrices L and U and the W-matrices and adjusting the patterns of the W-matrices for better parallel efficiency. Tests conducted on a shared memory parallel computer proved the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for various systems. Test results are presented and discussed.

Electric power systems -- Research ,Bus conductors (Electricity) -- Research ,Business ,Electronics ,Electronics and electrical industries - Abstract
This paper focuses on determining the correctability of bus voltage violations during the contingency selection process. The present day strategy in the contingency selection function consists of flagging the worst contingency cases for further detailed analysis, when preventive and/or corrective actions are obtained. The worst contingency cases are the ones which bear a large severity or performance index (PI). However, one must take into account that contingencies with a large PI may be easily correctable, whereas contingencies with small PI, that had not even been flagged, may be noncorrectable. Thus, the selection process should flag not only those contingencies with large PI but also those that are not easily correctable. In a previous paper, it was shown that correctability of line overloads can be determined using a first order sensitivity approach with an acceptable increase in contingency selection time. In this paper, the correctability of voltage violations is addressed. Because o the nonlinearities, the algorithm used here requires more calculations than the correctability of real power violations, but the additional time needed for the selection process is still quite acceptable for on-line purposes. The paper describes the algorithm, and provides test and timing results.

In on-line contingency analysis, it has become quite common to screen contingencies by ranking them according to some severity (or performance) index, which is calculated solely as a measure of limit violations. Quite often, however, even large limit violations may not be of concern if they are easily correctable whereas indications of noncorrectable violations may require preventive action. This paper focuses on the idea of correctability of contingencies with limit violations. A fast and efficient method for the correction of line loading limit violations based on sensitivity factors and contingency screening techniques using sparse vector handling is presented. The results show that the additional information about correctability of contingencies can be obtained at a low computational cost.

Many problems in transient network analysis are characterized by the solution of a simultaneous set of coupled algebraic and ordinary differential equations. The urgent need for on-line applications has motivated power system researchers to develop algorithms which can be implemented on parallel computers. Traditional algorithms for simulating power system dynamics do not readily lend themselves to parallel processing and only a limited amount of parallelism can be achieved. In this paper, a class of algorithms which exploits the concurrent solution of many time steps is presented. By applying a stable integration method, the overall algebraic-differential set of equations can be transformed into a unique algebraic problem at each time step. The dynamic behavior of the system can be obtained by solving an enlarged set of algebraic equations relative to the simultaneous solution of many time steps. A class of relaxation/Newton algorithms can be used to solve this problem efficiently. Furthermore, this formulation permits, easily, the implementation of multigrid techniques. Theoretical aspects about the convergence rates and computational complexity of the proposed algorithms are discussed in the paper. Test results on realistic power systems confirm theoretical expectations and show the promise of a several-fold increase speed over that obtainable by traditional parallel-in-space approaches. The synergism obtainable by parallelism in time and in space can allow high speed-up adequate for on-line implementations of transient stability analysis.

A dynamic partitioning method for a large electric power system is used to improve transient stability analysis by using separate step sizes for various portions. Coherent groupings which are assigned in clusters are used to divide the system. These groups are computed at dissimilar integration rates based on their proximity to the fault. The method is used on the IEEE 118 bus system and a 662 bus system and was run on an Alliant FX/8 computer. Results show that the solution for the 118 bus system was quicker but partitioning was more efficient for the 662 bus system with a speedup of 33.5.

Dynamic voltage support is a type of critical ancillary service in electric power networks. With the increasing penetration of inverter-based renewable energy resources, utilizing their idle capacity to provide dynamic voltage support is becoming essential. However, the performance of traditional control methods is ofter limited due to the frequently changing operating point and network parameters, which are tuned only in a specific condition and suffer performance deterioration in others. This article presents a model-free dynamic voltage control method for inverter-based energy resources to supply dynamic voltage support. This method can dynamically estimate the system with pseudo gradients, in which a continuous parameter function is proposed to adaptively approximate the optimal intermediate parameters. It guarantees the performance when the host system operating states vary without tuning the controller's parameters, while in comparison the PID controllers require the parameters being tuned repeatedly. Both numerical simulation and field tests demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the classic PI and adaptive PI controllers, especially in the case when the host system varies over time.

28. Multiple Communication Topologies for PMU-Based Applications: Introduction, Analysis and Simulation.

Ye, Fan and Bose, Anjan
- Abstract
Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are being widely installed in the transmission grid. Many power system applications based on PMUs have been developed or are under development in academia and industry. For those applications, data latency is often a critical factor that affects their performance thus making the topology of the communication network that exchanges real-time data between the control center (CC) and substations (SS) of vital importance. This paper introduces a method to conceptualize and analyze possible communication topologies by simulating them in Network Simulator 3 (NS3). Moreover, a new algorithm is developed to optimize the clustering of substations in such a way that the data latency performance of the decentralized communication topology can meet the requirements for PMU based applications. To validate the proposed methodology, the IEEE 118-bus system is used as the test case. A PMU based wide-area controller for transient stability is simulated in the MATLAB Simulink to validate the proposed communication topologies. It is concluded from the simulation results that the decentralized communication topology at a lower cost designed by optimizing the substation cluster boundaries can be an alternative choice and can help PMU based applications achieve good performance by limiting data latency to an acceptable level. Also, this paper can provide a technical guidance for power utilities choosing the most appropriate communication network for the PMU based real-time applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

29. Risk-Based Probabilistic Quantification of Power Distribution System Operational Resilience.

Poudel, Shiva, Dubey, Anamika, and Bose, Anjan
- Abstract
It is of growing concern to ensure the resilience in electricity infrastructure systems to extreme weather events with the help of appropriate hardening measures and new operational procedures. An effective mitigation strategy requires a quantitative metric for resilience that can not only model the impacts of the unseen catastrophic events for complex electric power distribution networks, but also evaluate the potential improvements offered by different planning measures. In this article, we propose probabilistic metrics to quantify the operational resilience of the electric power distribution systems to high-impact low-probability (HILP) events. Specifically, we define two risk-based measures: value-at-risk ($VaR_\alpha$) and conditional value-at-risk ($CVaR_\alpha$) that measure resilience as the maximum loss of energy and conditional expectation of a loss of energy, respectively, for the events beyond a prespecified risk threshold, $\alpha$. Next, we present a simulation-based framework to evaluate the proposed resilience metrics for different weather scenarios with the help of modified IEEE 37-bus and IEEE 123-bus system. The simulation approach is also extended to evaluate the impacts of different planning measures on the proposed resilience metrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Substation asset health has always been one of the utmost concerns for utilities. The substation secondary assets such as current transformers, potential transformers, and coupling capacitor voltage transformers play vital roles for system situational awareness and grid operations. This paper proposes a novel on-line substation instrument transformer health monitoring system (SITHMS), which merely uses time-synchronized and high-resolution phasor measurement unit (PMU) data. The SITHMS can provide early warning and alert utility personnel to diagnose the equipment malfunction and take proactive actions for asset management to prevent equipment failure. The core component of the SITHMS is a model-based three-phase substation-level linear state estimator, which features a built-in largest normalized residual (LNR) module that can detect anomalies in PMU data by using substation model and configuration, so as to probe if there is malfunction or potential failure of these secondary equipment. In addition, we present the system's implementation architecture and testing environment setup. Case studies with the PSCAD simulated data and field PMU data from actual substations at American Electric Power (AEP) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The continuing rollout of phasor measurement units enables wide area monitoring and control (WAMS/WACS), but the difficulty of sharing data in a secure, scalable, cost-effective, low-latency manner limits exploitation of this new capability by bulk electric power grid operators. GridCloud is an open-source platform for real-time data acquisition and sharing across the jurisdictions that control a bulk interconnected grid. It leverages commercial cloud tools to reduce costs, employing cryptographic methods to protect sensitive data, and software-mediated redundancy to overcome failures. The system has been tested by ISO New England and the results reported here demonstrate a level of responsiveness, availability, and security easily adequate for regional WAMS/WACS, with the capacity for nation-wide scalability in the future.

Conventional loss of excitation (LOE) detection methods for synchronous generators may misoperate during power swings. In this paper, a novel method based on measured slip frequency at the terminal of synchronous generators is proposed to differentiate power swing conditions from LOE conditions. To enhance performance of the proposed method for noisy measured signals, a modified Prony method based on a combination of generalized total least-squares method and conventional Prony method is implemented to estimate slip frequency and an energy sorting technique is applied to distinguish the dominant frequency components of measured signals. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated under various operating conditions of a test system that is simulated in a co-simulation platform by linking CAPE and PSS/E software. Case study results illustrate that the proposed method can accurately differentiate power swing conditions from LOE conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a fast method for use in on-line voltage security assessment. The objective here is to quickly assess the effects of large numbers of contingencies (line outages) to determine the worst case. The methodology is intuitively focused on the relationship between a node voltage and the availability of reactive power in the local neighborhood, and it also takes advantage of other information from the power flow solution. The concept of electrical distance is introduced for choosing the corresponding voltage control area locally around the contingency event. For the calculation of post-contingency electrical distance and power flow, the computation efficiency can be achieved by utilizing many mature algorithms from Static Security Analysis (SSA). Index Terms--Adaptive bounding, electrical distance, power flow, reactive reserves, voltage security.

With the increasing applications of VSC-HVDC technologies in power grids, the importance of incorporating DC grids and converter stations into the optimal power flow (OPF) problem is increasing. The modeling of a converter station involves highly nonlinear operational constraints and integer variables representing the tap settings of LTC transformers. In this paper, an efficient OPF algorithm for hybrid AC–DC grids with discrete control devices is presented. A successive linear approximation method for the power flow equations in both AC and DC grids is introduced. The operational constraints of the converter station are thoroughly investigated. The proposed linearization of the power flow equations facilitates the convexity of the VSC modeling. A fictitious branch is added to the AC grid to handle the highly nonlinear converter losses. The discrete nature of the LTC transformer in the converter station is accurately modeled. An iterative solving algorithm is proposed for the OPF model. The strict satisfaction of the power flow equations is enabled through the application of an AC feasibility recovery process based on the power flow calculation in hybrid AC–DC grids. Case studies demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms several selected commercial solvers. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

From the study of dispatcher power flow in a distributed energy management system (DEMS) among multiple control centers, a fixed-point iteration scheme for boundary bus states is constructed to modify the exterior network equivalent through data exchange. Implementation details such as determination of combination parameters, independent choice of reference bus, and distribution of unbalanced power are analyzed. Using this method, each subsystem involved in distributed computing can maintain its method of modeling the exterior network. Adverse effects of communication interference on computing can also be eliminated. Results consistent with integrated power flow are obtained with little loss of accuracy. Thus, the proposed algorithm is especially suitable for application in DEMS, in which control centers can only communicate by WAN. Tests are conducted on the IEEE 118-bus system partitioned into five subsystems, the IEEE 300-bus system, and an actual power system, which verifies the favorable convergence and effectiveness of the method.

In this study, a linearized and convergence-guaranteed optimal power flow (OPF) model with reactive power (Q ) and voltage magnitude (v) is proposed. Based on a linearized network model, a fully linearly-constrained OPF model is formulated with constraints on Q and v and limits on the apparent branch flow. Compared with the commonly used DC OPF method, the proposed method narrows the deviation from the AC OPF solution without requiring any additional information of the power grid. The locational marginal price (LMP) of the proposed method is closer to the AC OPF solution than the DC OPF method. The marginal price of the reactive power (Q-LMP) is provided, which offers the opportunity to price the reactive power. Case studies on several IEEE and Polish benchmark systems show that the proposed OPF method substantially enhances the performance of the prevalent DC OPF method. In addition, it is shown that if the accuracy of the linearized network model needs to be further improved, such as that during the iterative quasi-optimization process that reconstitutes the AC feasibility, a solution that is notably close to the optimum of the AC OPF model can be obtained by taking only one more iteration.

In this tutorial we present the state-of-the-art as well as new methods for simulating various planning, operation, stability, reliability, and economic models of electric power systems. The discussion is driven by both first-principle models and empirical models. First-principle models result from the fundamental physics and engineering principles that govern the behavior of various components of a grid. Empirical models, on the other hand, are models that result from statistics and data analysis. We overview a wide spectrum of applications starting from planning models with a time-scale of simulation in years to real-time models where the time-scale can be in the order of milliseconds. We present a list of simulation software popularly used by the power engineering research community across the world. The increasingly important roles of power electronics, communication and computing, model aggregation, hybrid simulation, faster-than-real-time simulation, and co-simulation in emulating the daily operation of a grid are enumerated. The importance of research testbeds for testing, verification and validation of complex grid models at various temporal and spatial scales is also highlighted. The overall goal is to provide a vision on how simulations and their supporting implementation methods can help us in understanding the evolving behavior of tomorrow’s power networks as a truly intelligent cyber-physical system.

In this paper, the concept of locational marginal price (LMP) is revisited by analyzing the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) condition of a general optimal power flow (OPF) problem. The impact of losses on LMP is investigated. Several well-known properties and formulations of the LMP are illustrated from a novel perspective. In particular, the special case of the lossless DC OPF model is discussed. Based on this theoretical analysis, a linear model for the loss-embedded LMP is proposed. The influence of losses on the LMP is recovered by solving a system of linear equations. The proposed method does not rely on strong subjective assumptions, such as the selection of reference buses or the determination of the “loss factor.” Case studies show that the proposed method has distinct advantages compared with the method currently practiced in major electricity markets.

- Abstract
As more phasor measurement units (PMUs) are installed, portions of the power grid become observable with just phasor measurements, making feasible the estimation of the state of these observable portions at much faster rates than the traditional state estimator. Although such a linear state estimator (LSE) was proposed over a decade ago, the first field implementation was completed at Dominion Virginia Power in 2013. Although this LSE is a stand-alone function not integrated to their energy management system (EMS), it demonstrated the feasibility of the LSE. In this paper, we present the design, development, and implementation of an LSE that is fully integrated with the existing EMS and can estimate the state of the extra high voltage portion of a power system at 30 times per second. Integration of the LSE to the existing EMS environment and some of the issues in the design and testing are presented in this paper. The work paved way for LSE to supply cleansed PMU data to other synchrophasor applications that are sensitive to data quality. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In this paper, a novel solution to the optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem is proposed. The nonlinearity of the power flow equations is handled by a new successive linear approximation approach. For the voltage magnitude terms, a mathematical transformation that improves the accuracy and facilitates the linear modeling of shunt capacitors is used. Without loss of accuracy, the load tap changers and shunt capacitors are both modeled by linear constraints using discrete variables, which facilitates the linearly constrained mixed-integer formulation of the proposed ORPD model. An efficient iterative solving algorithm is introduced. The obtained solution strictly satisfies the power flow equations. Case studies on several IEEE benchmark systems show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently provide near-optimal solutions with the error of the objective functions of less than 0.1%. Compared with several commercial solvers, the proposed method shows distinct advantages in terms of both robustness and efficiency. Moreover, based on the round-off results, a heuristic method that reduces the optimization ranges of the discrete control variables is proposed. This method can further improve the computational efficiency with small losses in accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this study, the authors introduce a new solution to the alternating current optimal power flow problem based on successive linear approximation of power flow equations. The polar coordination of the power flow equations is used to take advantage of the quasi‐linear P–θ relationship. A mathematical transformation for the crossing term of voltage magnitude is used, which guarantees the accuracy of the linear approximation when the quality of initial points regarding voltage magnitude is relatively low in the first few iterations. As a result, the accuracy of the proposed approximation becomes very high in very few iterations. Linearisation method for the quadratic apparent branch flow limits is provided. Methods to recover the AC feasibility from the obtained optimal power flow solution and correct possible constraint violations are introduced. The proposed method is tested in several IEEE and Polish benchmark systems. The difference in objective functions relative to MATPOWER benchmark results is generally <0.1% when the algorithm terminates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive optimisation model that combines reactive power (VAR) optimisation and network reconfiguration to minimise power losses and eliminate voltage violations. In this model, the reactive power of distributed generators (DGs), VAR compensators, the position of tap‐changer and the states of branches are formulated as continuous and discrete decision variables. The original non‐convex three‐phase optimisation model was converted to a mixed‐integer second‐order cone programming model using the second‐order cone relaxation, big‐M method and piecewise linearisation. The results of numerical tests showed that the proposed model can achieve significant additional gains in network loss reduction and voltage violation mitigation. This developed method can be used as a basic analysis tool for active distribution networks operation schedule or planning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
As the power demand becomes higher all over the world, transmission lines are often carrying electric power near their limits, which can cause power systems to be operated under serious stress. Voltage collapse is one of the more critical problems that impacts power system operational security and many of the recent major blackouts were caused, at least partially, by voltage collapse. Therefore, a fast and accurate voltage stability monitor is necessary for the modern system, together with a fast calculation of possible remedial actions. The development and application of wide-area measurement systems established the foundation of online assessment of voltage stability in large-scale power systems. In this paper, a voltage stability (QV) index based on phasor measurements is used to identify the weak buses and a new parallel optimization method that increases this voltage stability margin is introduced. Results on the IEEE standard systems show the accuracy and efficiency of the methods. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Smart grid technologies are expected to increase system efficiency and reliability using advancement in automation, communication, computation, and optimization. Several control algorithms have been developed or enhanced for operation and control of smart distribution grid. In recent years, volt/var control (VVC) algorithms have been proposed for energy saving in distribution systems due to advancement provided by smart grid automation and control. VVC helps to lower distribution feeder voltage to decrease energy consumption. However, quantification of this impact is hard due to several external factors such as weather and end users' behavior. On the other hand, existing evaluation methods of VVC algorithms are either not suitable for long-term study or intrusive. This paper addresses these issues by proposing a new technique to estimate “distribution system demand without smart grid implementation” utilizing “data measured from system with smart grid implementation.” Interdependence of voltage and load is considered based on estimated load characteristic. Our key contribution is developing a method for quantifying the real-time energy saving of smart grid automation and control focused on VVC and implementing in an electric utility in eastern Washington, USA. The algorithm is developed using both commercial and open-source software. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
With the spotlight on smart grid development around the world, it is critical to recognize the key factors contributing to changing power-system characteristics. This is more apparent in distribution systems with the integration of renewable energy sources, energy storage, and microgrid development. Source and load control at the distribution level is a key requirement of the evolving system. These activities require distribution automation (DA) strategies that take advantage of available technologies, while promoting newer solutions. It is necessary to create a roadmap for holistic DA strategies in a smarter grid. Sustainable and resilient grid development is a paradigm shift requiring a new line of thinking in the engineering, operation, and maintenance of the power system. Distributed control architectures based on dynamic load and source data should be explored as a possible solution. This paper discusses a novel approach that integrates protection, control, and monitoring using high-performance computing at the primary distribution substation level. The business case for infrastructure investment in the distribution systems is also discussed. This paper concludes with a discussion on emerging and future technologies for DA to improve the resiliency of a sustainable grid. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

With the spotlight on smart grid development around the world, it is critical to recognize the key factors contributing to changing power system characteristics. This is more apparent in distribution systems with the integration of renewable energy sources, energy storage, and microgrid development. Utilities are also focusing on the reliability and resiliency of the grid. These activities require distribution automation (DA) strategies that take advantage of available technologies while promoting newer solutions. It is necessary to create a roadmap for holistic DA strategies in a smarter grid. Sustainable and resilient grid development is a paradigm shift requiring a new line of thinking in the engineering, operation, and maintenance of the power system. International perspectives on DA are also addressed, with the understanding that one solution will not fit all. Integrating technical, business, and policy decisions into the challenges will generate the development of technologies, standards, and implementation of the overall solution. The challenges in the development of industry standards are also discussed. This paper explores the challenges and opportunities in the changing landscape of the distribution systems. Evolution of technologies and the business case for infrastructure investment in distribution systems are covered in another paper by the same authors. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

- Abstract
Due to the rapid deployment of phasor measurement units (PMUs) on large power grids, the system operators now have access to high speed high resolution data. A new class of monitoring and control applications are made possible with the PMUs. Although PMU based monitoring systems have been well developed, implementations of PMU based fast acting closed loop wide area control systems are relatively rare. To meet the stringent latency requirements of a wide area controller the communication and power infrastructures have to collaborate strongly. In this paper, a combined process for design and simulation of both communication network and power network has been presented with the objective of damping interarea oscillations. A method to determine the optimal location of data routing hubs so as to minimize the volume of communications is also proposed. The IEEE 118 bus system is used to study the performance of communication system and the wide area power damping control system on both centralized and decentralized topologies, and the results are discussed. One of the conclusions of the paper is that the decentralized communication architectures involving data routing hubs are better suited for control applications requiring fast control actions.

In the ongoing process to create a competitive electricity market, the problem of Ancillary Services is assuming a fundamental role. Ancillary Services are those services performed by generators, transmission and control equipment, which are necessary to support basic services and to maintain reliable operations and system security. In this paper, we focus our attention on one of these services, load following, and propose a competitive way to provide this service through bilateral contracts between supplier and customer. In general, we assume that there will be both a competitive market for the provision of load following and an authority responsible for the amount of load following not met by bilateral contracts.
