With the implementation of distributed generations, microgrid has become an important entity in the modern power systems. A grid-connected microgrid can participate in multiple electricity markets with different time scale to procure energy and self-schedule its internal generation resources to serve its demand. In a medium-term operation horizon (weekly, monthly or longer time span), the decision portfolio faced by a grid-connected microgrid includes forward market procurement, internal generator commitment and dispatching, and spot market procurement. To optimize this decision portfolio while manage the risks caused by the uncertainties, a medium-term operation decision-making model is proposed based on the minimax regret optimization theory. The corresponding mathematical model is formulated and solution method is provided. Numerical case studies are also provided to illustrate and verify the proposed model.

In this paper, a new analytical method and a corresponding two-step procedure are proposed for a wind power generation system design. This comprehensive new method can achieve the wind energy potential evaluation, reliability and costs assessment. In Step 1, the wind energy potential is investigated through the Weibull two-parameter model using the hourly wind speed data of a site. The graphic method is used to extract the Weibull shape and scale parameters. The wind power density can then be determined for the site. In Step 2, an analytical method based on the fault tree analysis (FTA) and minimal cut sets is developed in order to determine the system reliability. The components' failure rates of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine are used to calculate reliability. A generic annual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs calculation formula is proposed in this paper based on field data presented by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). A case study is conducted for a wind power project in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The proposed method is critical for planners and financial investigators to make an adequate decision for a wind power project.

This paper develops and tests a modular digital protection for interconnected permanent magnet generator (PMG)-based wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) with battery storage. The developed protection is constructed from digital relays (modules), each of which provides protection for a specific location of the PMG-based WECS and battery storage. Moreover, each module is featured with phaselet-based fault detection. The outputs of the developed protection are trip signals to operate circuit breakers in the PMG-based WECS, battery storage, and point-of-common-coupling. The modular digital protection is implemented for experimental testing on a 5 kW PMG-based WECS that has a 2.3 kW battery storage. Test results show that the developed protection can offer fast, accurate, and reliable responses to faults occurring in different parts of the tested WECS and battery storage. In addition, test results show that the modular digital protection has minor sensitivity to the location of faults, charge/discharge cycles of the battery storage, and/or levels of power delivery to the host grid.

The paper aims to propose a first possible solution to solve the known contrast between the certain logic required by the judicial outcome of proceedings and the uncertain logic of the engineering evaluation. In the accident-cases that require a risk assessment, this discussion suggests to adopting the subdivision of accident-related trials into two different levels, a technical “engineering” level, performed on the quantitative analysis of the accident causes, followed by a judicial level. A technical level might better support the formulation of the verdict by providing a more exhaustive analysis of the accident causation and parties' responsibilities, getting over the “ancillary” position of the technical consultants in the depositions. It might also provide criteria to improve the safety of persons for accident prevention in the workplaces and in the operation of electrical installations. In some countries, the institutions establish and define the specific area of expertise of the forensic engineer and promote the advancement of the forensic science through conferences and publications. These institutions could support the suggested approach, considered that the safety is a basic human right and its increase is an ethical and civil duty.

Developing an optimal arc flash protection strategy for a given facility can be difficult due to the number of solutions and system variables involved. Effective arc flash hazard reduction is best achieved by establishing an overall system protection strategy that accounts for safety and operational requirements as well as system reliability and availability. An overview of available solution categories and application guidance based on experience in a wide variety of facility types is presented in order to assist engineers trying to implement “safety by design” principles to help deal with arc flash hazards. The approach provided addresses the complexities of the trade-offs between competing priorities and provides tools that help users develop effective protection strategies for the unique circumstances in a given facility.

This paper presents the implementation and performance testing of the bus-split method for aggregating power demands of energy storage appliances (i.e. heating units and water heaters) in residential loads. The tested method is based on modifying the bus-split formulation to replace load models with the power demands of constant-impedance and constant-power (PZ and PS) load components. The values of PZ and PS are determined by the ZIP phaselet method, which can provide PZ and PS for each reading of the household power meter. The combination of the ZIP-phaselet method and bus-split aggregation can eliminate the need for measuring the power demands of individual energy storage appliances, thus simplifying the implementation of the the bus-split aggregating of residential loads. The bus-split method has been implemented for performance evaluation using data collected from 20 households during the Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer seasons. Performance results show that the developed aggregation method can provide accurate, simple, and non-intrusive aggregation of the power demands for energy storage appliances. Moreover, test results show that the bus-split method has minor sensitivity to the type and/or ratings of aggregated appliances, along with negligible sensitivity to seasonal variations of household power demands.

This paper describes a retrofit harmonic mitigation solution for the 480V power supply system designed for the battery charging system for the 72 automated guided vehicles (AGVs) at a large container terminal. The individual battery charging system for each AGV consists of 18 six-pulse thyristor modules, with each module rated at 7kW, 40V dc, and an AGV charging capacity of 126kVA at 720V dc. The supplier of the battery and battery charging equipment made no effort to mitigate harmonics and power quality issues in the design of the 480V power system. Design engineers for the container terminal performed a harmonic analysis when the power system design was configured based on the cabling and wiring information provided by the supplier. The analysis showed high harmonics, much higher than the limits prescribed in IEEE Std. 519. To achieve proper operation of the AGVs without affecting other automation equipment at the terminal, active filters were retrofitted. This paper discusses the test results for and limitations of mitigating harmonics for the first phase of retrofitting six active harmonic filters. This paper also provides recommendations for designing the port AGV power system.

Generation capability curves have been used for the design and operation of conventional, nonrenewable - type power stations. The maximum generating capacity of a station is given by the aggregate of the capability curve for each generator. In the case of a solar farm, however, the generating capacity cannot be obtained by the aggregation of the capability curve for each inverter due to the presence of impedances in the collector system, in the substation and in the export transmission line. It is convenient to determine the generating capacity of a solar farm by incorporating these impedances into a capability curve to indicate the maximum active and reactive power at the point of interconnection with the transmission system. This paper describes the steps required to determine the capability curve of a solar farm and enumerates the factors affecting the shape of this curve.

Over the last decade, wind power penetration has increased substantially because of environmental considerations. With the integration of so much wind power generating capacity, system operators are facing the challenge of maintaining the stability of the power system. Use of the complex wind turbine (WT) model to analyze the steady-state operation and dynamic stability of the power system with high wind power penetration requires a long computation time. Accordingly, generic models of various WTs have been developed. This work develops both generic and complex models of the WT that is based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), which is the so-called type-3 WT. Both generic and complex models include inertia of the WT and pitch control with the anti-windup mechanism to ensure that they can represent the electrical and mechanical parts of a real WT. This work compares the characteristics of the developed complex and generic models. The simulation results demonstrate that the developed generic model of the type-3 WT reasonably approximates the complex model.

This paper reviews low-voltage shore connection power systems for ships with up to 1,500kVA and voltage of 400V to 690V. The design for these systems is contained in the current low-voltage shore connection (LVSC) draft standard IEC/IEEE80005-3. This paper attempts to clarify that a LVSC design that uses multiple parallel feeder circuit breakers is not violating National Electric Code (NEC) National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 Section 240.8. This paper also attempts to clarify the optional design for an ungrounded shore-power system, where required, which is included in the draft standard. In addition, this paper reviews the safety loop circuit to enhance the safety of the operators both onshore and onboard a ship.
