An enhanced immune algorithm (EIA) is proposed to solve the fault section estimation problem in this paper. By simulating the relationships between antibody and antigen in the immune system, the proposed method has added the vaccine inoculation process in anticipation of further improving the computation performance to solve the fault section estimation problems. In order to validate the effectiveness of such an approach, the method has been tested through a sample systems and a real system with comparisons to other published techniques. From the test results, they reveal the feasibility of the method, meanwhile confirming the method as a forewarning aid to distribution maintenance work.

High penetration of wind power requires reliable wind energy generation. A successful low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) scheme is a key requirement to achieve reliable and uninterrupted electrical power generation for wind turbines equipped with doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs). This paper proposes a feed-forward transient current control (FFTCC) scheme for the rotor side converter (RSC) of a DFIG to enhance its LVRT capability. This new control scheme introduces additional feed-forward transient compensations to a conventional current regulator. When three phase faults occur, these compensation terms correctly align the RSC ac-side output voltage with the transient-induced voltage, resulting in minimum transient rotor current and minimum occurrence of crowbar interruptions. With little additional computational effort, the proposed control scheme helps relieve the transient current stress on the RSC and helps maintain an uninterrupted active and reactive power supply from the wind turbines to the power grid. Simulation results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed FFTCC scheme in suppressing transient rotor currents.

This paper describes a novel approach for automated synchronous generator parameter derivation using disturbance data. Instead of traditional off-line testing, this process supports validation of dynamic models for generators and their governor, excitation, and stabilizer systems using data gathered while the units are on-line. The approach is based on using digitally recorded unit responses to system disturbances. Continued model validation is necessary to ensure generating units are simulated correctly. Model validation is imminently to be mandated by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) through its modeling, data, and analysis standards. The benefits of the model validation method presented here are explained when compared to traditional techniques, which typically include collecting data from a series of mostly off-line staged tests. The comprehensive process of model validation and a review of the key-limitations of this process are also discussed. Lastly, the paper presents the successful application of this technique to three large thermal units for the purpose of WECC generator model validation and certification. Key results of the case studies are reported together with fruitful insight into the limitations of some of the models available for power plant modeling in planning studies.

A new time-domain approach of locating transitory, sub-cycle faults is introduced with a detailed formula derivation of the fault distance calculation for a single line-to-ground fault in the circuit of a substation, utilizing only the discrete voltage and current samples obtained at the substation. The formula is obtained from an equivalent circuit of the faulted circuit with voltage injection and the superposition principle using the parameters of net fault voltage and current. In addition to the fault distance, the approach also derives an equation which can produce the source reactance of the substation bus by the same parameters. The steps for implementing the derived formula in a practical application are illustrated, and then a preliminary test result with the actual substation measured data is discussed.

Distributed generation (DG), such as solar-energy-based photovoltaic (PV) systems, wind generation, and other renewable resources, is a quickly growing source of energy for today's power system. These assets pose challenges to grid reliability and power quality. One critical challenge is islanding (inadvertent system separation) detection, separation, and eventual resynchronizing. Research is underway to devise best practice methods for appropriate islanding control for all load and generation conditions. Wide-area measurements such as synchrophasors provide an accurate means to detect islanding conditions by enabling precise time-synchronized measurements at diverse locations. This paper presents a real-time islanding detection system for PV-based generation that is representative of many types of DG. The system utilizes synchrophasor data collected at the PV location and elsewhere in the system to detect the islanded condition. The paper shows how synchrophasors are used to isolate the DG during such conditions. It also discusses the real-time modeling and closed-loop testing of the synchrophasor-based islanding detection system, which includes the PV-based inverter and the power distribution system. The effectiveness of the system was experimentally tested on a live power system. An evaluation is also presented for using synchrophasors to resynchronize the islanded system.

Distribution Automation (DA) is viewed as an integral component of the Smart Grid paradigm. It facilitates the employment of computer technology and communication infrastructure to advance management and operation of the distribution network from a semi-automated approach towards a fully automated one. SCADA systems, advanced sensors, and electronic controllers are integrated into the DA system in order to achieve the desired performance and reliability at the distribution network. Interoperability of all the components participating in the DA system requires communication standards covering not only the devices in the substation, but all the components from the substation to the point of interface with the end consumers. While the IEC 61850 standard was originally addressing applications and communications within the substation, recent work is undergone for extending it beyond the substation fence. With its object oriented structure, IEC 61850 can provide comprehensive and accurate information models for various components of distribution automation systems, while providing an efficient solution for this naturally multi-vendor environment. This paper provides some concrete examples on how IEC 61850 can be employed in the context of distribution automation applications, and what measures need to be taken to enable it to efficiently respond to some of the emerging technologies in DA systems.

A fundamental truth of the electrical grid has been, in general, that electricity must be generated at the precise moment it is demanded. It is the ultimate "just-in-time" system, required by the laws of physics to carry no inventory. This characterization is again under challenge, as development of grid scale energy storage devices, both electrochemical and mechanical, is accelerating and being represented as a critical piece of the grid infrastructure of the future. Much of the impetus behind this activity follows closely with the early days of meaningfully high penetrations of renewable generation into our power systems, at both the transmission and distribution-level; each of which presents somewhat different challenges in terms of integrating wind and solar energy. Storage, it is argued, offers the stabilization and buffering capacity that will be necessary to reconcile the variability of growing amounts of renewable generation and the challenges these might cause with relatively predictable and stable loads. Our purpose in this paper is to introduce a few frameworks for consideration of both the necessity of grid scale energy storage for the reliable operation of the grid of the future as well as the economic propositions that these assets will face in developed electricity markets and under established utility practices. Simply put, there are three basic and obvious questions that must be addressed for any asset deployment: (1) what is the problem the asset will solve?; (2) what is the mechanism by which an investor would be able to recover the costs of the asset?; and (3) what other means are there of solving the same problem? This paper will consider each of these questions for a variety of applications of utility-scale energy storage.

This paper presents an investigation on the mechanism of the impact of the governor control on power system dynamics, and an introduction of boundary frequency. The well-known Hefferon-Phllips math model has been extended to include the math model of the turbine and its governor. By using this model the impact can be divided into the synchronizing and the damping torques. Based on the analysis of the frequency response, a new concept of the boundary frequency has been drawn out and that provides a performance index in characterizing the nature of the turbine and its governor in system dynamics. The damping provided by governor will be opposite in polarity, if the oscillation frequencies are located in different sides of the boundary frequency. This study also provides the values of the boundary frequencies for thermal and hydro generators under different control input signals ΔΩ or ΔPE. Study has also been conducted for input signals ΔΩ and ΔPE.

Over the past few years, utility applications and services have been evolving from stand alone propriety protocol based to a standardized IP platform based [1]. These utility applications include Synchrophasors, CRAS, SCADA etc. During the same period, use of the enterprise network has moved from simple IP applications to an ever increasing number of advanced technologies being collapsed onto the IP infrastructure. These enterprise applications include video, telephony, storage and physical access security. As critical services such as Voice, Video and SCADA data converge on IP, the resiliency; scalability and availability of the WAN infrastructures become critical. The new converged network must adopt to meet the new stringent requirements while still maintaining flexibility and ease of operations. This paper will start by describing the services and the corresponding communication requirements that the future utility WAN must support. The paper will then propose various architecture models to satisfy the requirements. The paper concludes with comparison of the proposed models against various network optimization criteria.
