Although the concept of smart grid has been inspiring for applying complex algorithms and strategies in operating of power systems, but verification of these algorithms are presumed on reliable and accurate simulation framework. To address this significant aspect of the smart grid, a simulation framework is developed through interfacing between MATLAB/SIMULINK with Java Agent Development Environment (JADE). Furthermore, based on the proposed simulation framework a multi-agent protection system (MAPS) has been identified where different agent types collaborate in system protection tasks. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the requirements for an effective simulation framework to integrate MAPS into future smart grids.

This paper presents a hardware/software co-simulation approach to rapidly develop and validate processor firmware for modern power electronic converters. The methodology models in precise detail all significant electronic circuitry of the target power converter, and then executes the actual software source code of the physical digital signal processor in the simulation environment. This creates a near real-world firmware debugging capability that saves considerable code development time while still being safe to execute. The approach has been used by research students and undergraduate/postgraduate students to develop firmware for a wide variety of power electronic converter applications. Matching simulation and experimental results of an exemplary single-phase active rectifier application are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the approach.

Different non-linear (power electronic-based) loads are connected to residential supply feeders, among which light bulbs such as light emitting diodes and compact fluorescent lamps are one of them. These single-phase loads inject harmonic currents and draw reactive power because of their power electronic and ballast circuits. Due to an increase in the emergence of different types of lamps, mainly because of their better luminous efficacy, the accumulated impact of thousands of them can be adverse to utility's power quality. Thus, a detailed study is conducted to evaluate these lamps from different manufacturers and with different ratings. They are evaluated from power quality perspectives such as current harmonics, total harmonic distortion, as well as non-power quality factors such as power factor and non-fundamental components of apparent power, which are important criteria for utilities. Alongside non-technical criteria such as the cost, luminous efficacy, and lifespan are also analyzed.

A novel approach is presented to identify and assess voltage stability risk in power networks that include nodes with variable loads and intermittent renewable generation. Given a power network configuration, the approach firstly assesses voltage instability boundaries at selected nodes in response to stochastic operational conditions (variable load and intermittent decentralised generation). By iteratively calculating Saddle Node Bifurcation (SNB) points one node at a time given a set of loads and intermittent generation conditions at the other nodes, those data points are used as training sets for support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. Secondly, a marginal voltage stability risk probability distribution for the intermittent buses is derived using Monte Carlo simulation methods with stochastic net load profiles within the system where instability status at each simulation is derived from the trained set of SVM classifiers. The key advantage of the proposed method is its scalability to higher dimension networks for which the SVM training date set must be calculated only once. The voltage risk probability distribution acquires a significant importance in the design of quantitative risk valuation framework for planning and expansion purposes in a context of network with decentralised and intermittent generation. This paper focuses on describing the approach to derive a voltage risk probability using SVM technique, while the construction and use of the probability distribution in a comprehensive risk valuation framework for planning is left for future work to the authors.

Distributed generation (DG) sources are commonly interfaced to the grid using a current regulated converter, which must be synchronized to the grid. Typically this is achieved using a phase locked loop (PLL), which must reject any harmonic distortion in the grid voltage. Conventionally this necessitates a PLL design with a low bandwidth, which then degrades the PLL's dynamic capability. In this paper an indirect or sensorless synchronization strategy is presented whereby the PLL is fed instead from the output of a stationary frame Proportional Resonant (PR) current regulator. It is shown that this structure allows for an arbitrary increase in the PLL bandwidth, with the harmonic disturbance rejection properties of the strategy further enhanced by using multiple harmonic resonators in the PR current regulator. Simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical development.

The paper addresses the question of capacity firming of renewable energy sources as an effective tool for mitigating the volatility of their generation. The existing approaches propose an integration of these sources with some flexible production as a back-up support, flexible demand or energy storage systems at point of common coupling in order to provide some degree of firmness to the production. However, this research makes step further towards the idea to provide an adequate support with dispersed energy storage capacities at the distribution level owned by numerous prosumers (not excluding consumers and virtual power plants), where the batteries are primarily deployed for the needs of the prosumers (maximization of self-consumption) and the remaining capacities are available to the intermittent generation for capacity firming. In the proposed bilevel optimization model, the lower-level problem is embedded into the upper-level problem applying the optimality Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. The problem is solved by mixed-integer linear programming and the solution is tested and verified on a case study with one wind generator and up to 30,000 prosumers.

Residential demands are an important part of the overall electricity demand. There is a lack of research in community demand correlation, especially when PV penetration is high. This study devised a systematic approach to study the spatial and temporal correlation of high PV penetration community demand within residential neighbourhoods, with zone and regional demand. Results show residential demands in adjacent buses are highly correlated; however, demand changes at 1-minute intervals show little correlation, indicating a random nature of switching actions. The high PV penetration community demands are not highly correlated with zone or regional demand at present but trend lines indicate an increasing correlation between community demand and regional demand. Further, this study confirmed dry bulb temperature remained as an important factor for both peak demand and energy bill in the community of high PV penetration. This study helps improve the understanding of residential community demand characteristics and assists the management of peak demand and energy for community and distribution network.
