Due to deregulation of the power system, grid reliability becomes more complicated. Even, day by day small-scale and renewable power generation is inserted in a distribution system effectively due to people awareness. A power transformer is one of the most important equipment in the grid to reliably and efficiently transmit power to the consumers. Asset management and protection are the best concepts for enlargement of transformer lifespan as well as to increase grid reliability. This article reflects on electrical and other parameter based power transformer asset management. Voltage, current, and power based inrush detection and Power Differential Protection (PDP) are applied to protect the transformer. Various data such as load history, losses and temperature will be monitored in real time to enhance the working capability of the transformer. The proposed method adopts various electrical and nonelectrical parameters for condition monitoring. The proposed scheme is successfully tested on SkV A laboratory transformer using Arm CORTEX-M4 processor. A fitness function estimated from the collected data in the processor will reflect the condition of the transformer. The hardware result confirms the effectiveness of the scheme for monitoring and protection of transformer.

Distributed Generation (DG) resources could help in mitigating the increase in the electricity demand and the high burden on the central grid by reducing the transmission and distribution power losses. As the name implies, DG resources are in general located in a distributed manner near the load centers. Therefore, choosing a proper site for a new DG is a critical step for its long term efficient power generation. In addition, DG siting involves many factors such as economic, social, environment, geographic, availability of electrical infrastructure, etc. Examples of DGs include, solar panels, micro wind turbines, small hydropower units, fuel cells and Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). In this paper, we introduce a model using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Fuzzy AHP (FAHP) algorithms to develop a ranking system to choose proper sites for SMR power generation units. We consider electrical and non-electrical loads, existing and retiring generation, transmission lines, switching stations as the location-dependant scenarios for determining suitable locations. We produce more precise results by implementing fuzzy logic based AHP algorithm which deals with the linguistic vagueness and uncertainty of the siting data.

In deregulated electricity markets, optimal transmission expansion achieved by a centralized planner with social welfare objective is higher than that achieved by investors with profit maximization objective. From a system operators perspective it is desirable to have social optimal transmission expansion. To achieve this in a profit driven framework, however, a monetary incentive mechanism is needed to encourage profitable transmission expansion to social optimal levels. This paper proposes capacity Premiums that could assure social optimal transmission capacity based on network users willingness to pay and which ensures that investors get adequate incentives for installing additional transmission capacity. Incentives for optimal transmission expansion are based on realistic market signals.

A novel flexibility pricing model (FPM) is proposed in this paper to determine the service price of flexibility provided to the main grid, by an electric vehicle charging facility (EVCF) optimally reinforced with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed FPM seeks to achieve a targeted profit of an investor. A flexibility index is introduced to calculate the flexibility in the EVCF load, and hence determine the extent to which the EVCF is flexible, when equipped with DERs. The DER options considered for reinforcement of the EVCF are- energy storage systems (ESS) and rooftop photovoltaic (PV) generation. Case studies considering a 33 bus distribution system are presented and discussed to validate the proposed model.

This paper investigates a novel nonlinear observer design approach based on the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) technique for estimation of the state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) parameters of nonlinear RC battery model. Due to practical restrictions on direct measurement of SOC, we try to introduce effective and accurate observing scheme which excel estimation results. The estimation of SOC and SOH has a crucial role in applications involving rechargeable batteries. SDRE observer is an extended form of Kalman Filter (KF) estimator for nonlinear systems. In this paper, the SDRE-based observer has been proposed for nonlinear RC battery model which is widely used. The resulting observer has several advantages including a faster convergence, better accuracy, and simpler structure in comparison with most existing methods. The simulation results show the merits of SDRE filter in estimating of SOC and SOH.

In this paper a new methodology for dynamic service restoration (DSR) of distribution grids is proposed and tested. The approach utilizes the dynamic load curves of the case study grid. The Time variable load profile is applied to design an effective service restoration plan. This new method proposes an optimization algorithm to find candidate networks for reducing frequency and duration of customer interruptions. During the service restoration period the network configuration is altered in each hour to minimize frequency and duration of outages. Service restoration plan with global dynamic characteristics is one of the major contributions of the study. A constrained multi-objective mathematical model is forming the DSR methodology. The approach is tested on a 70-node distribution system. Comparing the simulation results to the existing literature show a great deal of advancement in providing a fast, secure and reliable service restoration plan in distribution feeders.

According to high electrical energy consumption and rising energy costs, accurate model factory with a high performance is necessary to discover energy consumption patterns and forecast future demands. Factory sectors have a large share in global energy consumption; therefore, consuming energy in this section should be controlled and managed. In this study, a smart decision support system (SDSS) framework is applied in a cloud environment. It includes three main stages. The first stage collects data from a smart grid system and stores them in cloud databases. The second stage, which analyzes energy consumption data, is an analytic system including Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Sensor Data Regularity-Tree (SDR-Tree) methods. The third stage is a web-based portal for user communication and displays the results on charts. Cloud computing technology presents services for a grid system infrastructure and software, which raises the speed and quality of processes and reduces the costs of storage devices. In the last stage, for speeding up the operations and reducing time response, a Load Balancing Decision Algorithm (LBDA) mechanism is applied in the cloud environment. The main aim of this study is to propose a model combined with two ARIMA and SDR-Tree methods in order to increase the accuracy of the results and solve the problems of both single models. Implementation of this hybrid model is suitable for the electrical energy efficiency improvement and smart factories development.

With the increase in renewable energy integration in the electrical power systems along with increase in the time-varying energy consumption by the users, it is imperative to regulate the load profile through pragmatic economical Demand-Side Management. Thus, the study carried out in this paper presents a real-time algorithm for cost optimization to achieve Demand-Side Management of a Renewable Energy Source integrated microgrid. The algorithm aims to achieve utility maximization and cost reduction for an optimal power scheduling in the presence of variable loads. The proposed approach mitigates the continuous changes in the variable loads that emulates the load profile found in residential, commercial and industrial users. The particular focus of this work is on developing a decentralized control scheme and a utility-oriented energy community, which provides user satisfaction based on energy management system, production units and load demand. Moreover, the paper presents utility maximization solutions on the combined energy profile of the microgrid targeting two main objectives, i.e., (1) minimizing the aggregate energy cost and (2) maximizing the provider's and user's satisfaction. Minimizing the aggregate energy cost aims to reduce the peak to average ratio of the aggregate energy profile of the microgrid using the cost function for energy cost minimization. The proposed technique is tested on microgrid which is coordinated in master-slave control topology. The implemented algorithm ensures a stable and efficient operation of the microgrid while minimizing the total cost of production.

Heating/Cooling demands account for more than half of energy consumption in residential, agricultural and industrial fields. Ground Heat-Exchanger is an environmentally friendly solution used for heating/cooling purposes which is based on seasonal temperature difference between the ground and the ambient. A fuzzy-based controller is developed to utilize the ground heat and the weather conditions for maintaining the temperature in a thermally insulated greenhouse system. The greenhouse system is equipped with actuated windows, fans, sunlight collector and environmental sensors. Results showed the heat exchanger can be used for pre-cooling in summer and heating in winter in hot and imbalanced climate zones like UAE. The proposed controller was able to maintain the greenhouse temperature within the acceptable range on most days of the year with significantly less operational cost compared to the ON/OFF controller.

The coordination of multiple VSGs connected in parallel to form a microgrid is the main concern nowadays. In this paper, the relation between the two VSGs is formed; one is operating as a source, whereas other as a load. This correlation defines the maximum power that can be delivered to the VSG controlled energy storage system (ESS), the influence of a load (static), and the effect of contingency (dynamic) on both VSGs. Furthermore, a unique control is presented to draw the constant maximum power from renewable energy source (RES) by interlinking it with the stable parallel-VSG; without compromising the ability of transient stability to dampen any disturbance. The results are illustrated through power and angular frequency graphs.
