This paper investigates DC network partition and alternative DC fault protection strategy for Multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) system. Fast acting DC Circuit Breakers (DCCBs) or fault blocking DC-DC converters can be configured at strategic locations to allow the entire MTDC system to be operated interconnected but partitioned into islanded DC network zones following faults. In case of any DC fault event, the DCCBs or DC-DC converters at the strategic cable connections that link the different DC network partitions are opened or blocked such that the faulty DC network zone is quickly isolated from the remaining of the MTDC system. Thus, the healthy DC network zone can remain operational or recover quickly to restore power transmission. Each DC network zone can be protected using AC circuit breakers and DC switches for cost reduction. The validity of the proposed protection strategy is confirmed using MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations.

Two major sources of rapid frequency response (RFR) to counter the reducing system inertia problem of the Great Britain (GB) system are “synthetic inertia” from wind turbines and fast demand response (FDR). In this paper, we consider a future low inertia scenario to show the effectiveness of RFR provision from the large offshore wind farms (OWFs) planned in the North Sea (concentrated response) against FDR from loads spread across the GB system (distributed response). The spatial variation in transient frequencies, which can be pronounced in the aftermath of a disturbance and is critical for the response activation of these actuators, is accounted. Case studies using a reduced GB system model show the effectiveness of distributed FDR and concentrated support from OWFs in providing RFR when disturbances occur in different areas of the system where different inertia levels are present.

ICT in smart grid provides enormous opportunities for real-time and wide-area grid monitoring, protection and control. To this aim, synchrophasor technology was proposed for reliable and secure transmission of grid status information. IEEE C37.118 and IEC 61850-90-5 emerged as two well known communication frameworks for synchrophasor technology. However, literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of some key features and limitations. Further, knowledge of cyber vulnerabilities in both communication frameworks is still quite limited. This paper analyzes characteristics of both communication frameworks inferred from their complete implementation. In particular, it addresses their embedded features, required network characteristics/resources and their resilience against cyber attacks.

In this paper we examine potential improvements in how load and generation forecast uncertainty is captured when setting reserve levels in power systems with significant renewable generation penetration and discuss the merit of proposed new methods in this area. One important difference between methods is whether reserves are defined based on the marginal distribution of forecast errors, as calculated from historic data, or whether the conditional distribution, specific to the time at which reserves are being scheduled, is used. This paper is a review of published current practice in markets which are at the leading edge of this problem, summarizing their experiences, and aligning it with academic modeling work. We conclude that the ultimate goal for all markets expected to manage high levels of renewable generation should be a reserve setting mechanism which utilizes the best understanding of meteorological uncertainties combined with traditional models of uncertainty arising from forced outages.

In power systems with a large amount of renewable energy sources, the frequency management is an important issue. In particular, the uncertain output fluctuation depending on weather condition has a large impact on supply and demand balance. On the other hand, under deregulation in the electric power industry, the utilization of power market will be more important to deal with their uncertain output. However, when the renewable energy integration is realized with many new players under the deregulation, the power flow management becomes more complex. Hence, in order to keep the power flow profile within a certain allowable range, we have proposed frequency regulation method by applying renewable energy curtailment, and also we take into account congestion management in the transmission network based on price signals. The proposed method was tested in IEEE 39 bus system and its effectiveness was shown.

A probabilistic approach to assess the transient stability of power systems with increased penetration of wind and Photo-Voltaic generation is presented in this paper. The impact on transient stability due to the intermittent behavior of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) as well as due to their dynamic response when a disturbance happens is investigated. Moreover, the effect of conventional generation disconnection and consequently inertia reduction is studied. Apart from calculating transient stability related indices, a clustering technique is also applied to provide more information considering the impact of DERs and conventional generation disconnection on transient stability.

This paper presents a framework to analyze the impact of different penetration levels of renewable generation sources (RES) and consequent reduction in inertia on grid frequency. The developed methodology is demonstrated using three operating conditions of the network. For each operating condition, the decrease in the network loading is balanced by disconnecting a part of synchronous generation. To establish the critical penetration levels of renewables and inertia limits for the grid frequency, the uncertainty of loads, intermittent and stochastic patterns of RES generation around each operating condition are simulated. The results clearly identify the critical penetration levels of RES and reduction in inertia limits of the system for frequency stability. In addition, the performed analysis quantifies the effect of primary frequency response and reduction in inertia on frequency nadir. The proposed framework is applied to the modified 16 machine and 68 bus network.

A model for monitoring the wind turbine gearbox based on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data is developed. A deep neural network (DNN) is trained with the data of normal gearboxes to predict its performance. The developed DNN model is next tested with data of the normal and abnormal gearboxes. The abnormal behavior of the gearbox can be detected by the statistical process control charts via the fitting error. The capacity of the monitoring model for detecting the abnormal behavior of gearbox is validated by two gearbox failure cases.

The high penetration of solar PV generations brings about significant challenges for decision-makers of power system operation due to high volatility and uncertainty it involves. In recent years, it has been demonstrated by many researchers that the probabilistic interval forecast could significantly facilitate some decision-making cases, such as storage optimization, market bidding, reserves setting, as it can provide the uncertainty information associated with the point estimations. This paper proposes a nonparametric conditional interval forecast method for PV power generation which can capture the interdependence among the real power output and their point forecasts within all forecasting horizons of interests. The proposed model is tested using the dataset of PV generation power measurements and day-ahead point forecasts in Belgium. The results based on reliability and interval score performance metrics illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
