Inverter-based distributed generations (IBDGs) are the main approach to utilizing clean energy in distribution networks (DNs). Compared with synchronous source, fault response of IBDG is very different. As a result, in DNs with high penetration of IBDGs, legacy protection schemes will no longer be applicable. In this paper, an energy-based directional pilot protection scheme suitable for DNs with IBDGs is proposed. This scheme considers the large range of phase angle caused by IBDG integration and uses improved energy polarity criterion to determine fault direction. In addition, magnitude of energy is used to distinguish between faults and load switching to overcome maloperation of directional pilot protection caused by internal unmeasured load switching. The proposed scheme first uses local measured information to determine fault direction sign and then exchanges the direction sign with the remote terminal. This scheme does not require high-bandwidth communication and strict data synchronization, so it can be implemented at a low cost. Finally, simulation studies verify effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Operating conditions of film capacitors are complex, and the problem of film insulation failure caused by repetitively pulsed voltage is becoming ever serious. Degradation of the film under repetitively pulsed voltage cannot be accurately evaluated by the average breakdown electric field. In this paper, the effects of pulsed electric field and pulse repetition frequency on the breakdown in biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films are investigated. Three phases of BOPP degradation are proposed based on the voltage amplitude, i.e., maintenance (M), decline (D), and near-zero (N). Evolution of the BOPP film from degradation to breakdown at different frequencies is presented. Meanwhile, transition of discharge mode and elemental composition of the film are analyzed. Experimental results show continuous heat generation under repetitive microsecond pulses is the dominant factor for degradation of BOPP film. The number of applied pulses and the repetitive stressing time decrease exponentially with increase of frequency. This research can be contributed to the safe and reliable operation of capacitors.

This paper presents an Expanding Annular Domain (EAD) algorithm combined with Sum of Squares (SOS) programming to estimate and maximize the domain of attraction (DA) of power systems. The proposed algorithm can systematically construct polynomial Lyapunov functions for power systems with transfer conductance and reliably determine a less conservative approximated DA, which are quite difficult to achieve with traditional methods. With linear SOS programming, we begin from an initial estimated DA, then enlarge it by iteratively determining a series of so-called annular domains of attraction, each of which is characterized by level sets of two successively obtained Lyapunov functions. Moreover, the EAD algorithm is theoretically analyzed in detail and its validity and convergence are shown under certain conditions. In the end, our method is tested on two classical power system cases and is demonstrated to be superior to existing methods in terms of computational speed and conservativeness of results.
本文提出了一种结合平方和(SOS)编程的扩展环域(EAD)算法,用于估计和最大化电力系统的吸引力域(DA)。所提出的算法可以系统地为具有传递传导的电力系统构建多项式 Lyapunov 函数,并可靠地确定不太保守的近似 DA,而传统方法很难实现这一点。通过线性 SOS 编程,我们从初始估计 DA 开始,然后通过迭代确定一系列所谓的环形吸引域来扩大 DA,每个环形吸引域都以连续获得的两个 Lyapunov 函数的水平集为特征。此外,我们还对 EAD 算法进行了详细的理论分析,并证明了该算法在特定条件下的有效性和收敛性。最后,在两个经典的电力系统案例中测试了我们的方法,证明其在计算速度和结果稳定性方面优于现有方法。

Regional integrated energy system (RIES) cluster, i.e., multi-source integration and multi-region coordination, is an effective approach for increasing energy utilization efficiency. The hierarchical architecture and limited information sharing of RIES cluster make it difficult for traditional game theory to accurately describe their game behavior. Thus, a hierarchical game approach considering bounded rationality is proposed in this paper to balance the interests of optimizing RIES cluster under privacy protection. A Stackelberg game with the cluster operator (CO) as the leader and multiple RIES as followers is developed to simultaneously optimize leader benefit and RIES utilization efficiency. Concurrently, a slight altruistic function is introduced to simulate the game behavior of each RIES agent on whether to cooperate or not. By introducing an evolutionary game based on bounded rationality in the lower layer, the flaw of the assumption that participants are completely rational can be avoided. Specially, for autonomous optimal dispatching, each RIES is treated as a prosumer, flexibly switching its market participation role to achieve cluster coordination optimization. Case studies on a RIES cluster verify effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A hybrid UHVDC transmission system applying LCC as the rectifier and MMC as the inverter combines the advantages of both converter types, which makes this protection scheme more complicated. A new pilot protection scheme for a three-terminal hybrid DC transmission system applying energy functions is proposed. The energy function for LCC is applied to MMC to derive the energy level of the hybrid system. Furthermore, an improved Hausdorff distance (IHD) algorithm is proposed to detect the difference in energy levels between the normal and fault states. An abrupt change in energy level is characterized by IHD change rate. Time points at which the IHD change rate exceeds the threshold at converter stations are applied to determine the fault line and to estimate the fault section. The proposed protection scheme is then verified by a simulation model of the Wudongde ±800 kV three-terminal hybrid UHVDC transmission project. The appropriate sampling frequency is selected for a real-time calculation, and the threshold is selected considering the effect of noise. Results show the proposed scheme can identify and trip fault lines quickly and effectively, even for a 600 Ω grounding fault. Other waveshape similarity algorithms are compared and analyzed. Compared with existing protection schemes, the proposed scheme transmits less data to improve communication speed and reliability.

Demand response has been recognized as a valuable functionality of power systems for mitigating power imbalances. This paper proposes a hierarchical control strategy among the distribution system operator (DSO), load aggregators (LAs), and thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs); the strategy includes a scheduling layer and an executive layer to provide load regulation. In the scheduling layer, the DSO (leader) offers compensation price (CP) strategies, and the LAs (followers) respond to CP strategies with available regulation power (ARP) strategies. Profits of the DSO and LAs are modeled according to their behaviors during the load regulation process. Stackelberg game is adopted to capture interactions among the players and leader and to obtain the optimal strategy for each participant to achieve utility. Moreover, considering inevitable random factors in practice, e.g., renewable generation and behavior of users, two different stochastic models based on sample average approximation (SAA) and parameter modification are formulated with improved scheduling accuracy. In the executive layer, distributed TCLs are triggered based on strategies determined in the scheduling layer. A self-triggering method that does not violate user privacy is presented, where TCLs receive external signals from the LA and independently determine whether to alter their operation statuses. Numerical simulations are performed on the modified IEEE-24 bus system to verify effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Repetitve nanosecond impulses in gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear (GIS) are likely to trigger inside flashover. Interface charges on the spacer in GIS are considered one of the main factors damaging insulation performance and may be induced by overvoltage. For good understanding of insulation failures, accumulation characteristics of charges between SF 6
