A study on the application of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) for frequency support in the isolated power system of Baja California Sur (BCS) in Mexico is presented in this paper. For this purpose, user defined models of inertial and primary frequency control (IPFC) functions are incorporated into the converter active power control loop of BESS model. Time domain simulations for a set of test cases are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the BESS based IPFC for system frequency support in under-frequency and overfrequency conditions. Simulation results show that BESS equipped with IPFC can effectively improve the point at which frequency is arrested for the operating scenarios considered in the BCS electrical network.

A novel application of the meta-heuristic “Particle Swarm Optimization” is implemented in this work to solve the problem of reconfiguration of power distribution systems in the presence of non-linear loads with the objective of minimizing the total harmonic distortion. The proposed methodology is based on the behavior of a flock of birds when flying in search of food. In order to guarantee the convergence when the distribution power network is radial and large, a heuristic rule is deployed to improve the methodology efficiency. The developed algorithm was applied to the IEEE 33-bus radial system. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method to find the optimal topology of the distribution system to reduce harmonic distortion.

This paper presents the application of Self Healing feature in automatic reconfiguration process of a power system inserted in a real industrial plant. Supporting the automation process, a new optimization algorithm, Power Summation Reconfiguration Algorithm (PSRA), is proposed whose objective function is minimizing the amount of switching during automatic reconfiguration process. Results obtained by using optimization algorithm developed in this paper were compared to ones from Chu-Beasley Modified Genetic Algorithm (CBMGA). The comparison was made between PSRA and CBMGA using Scilab simulation environment. The algorithm developed in this paper, PSRA, requires a simpler heuristic for implementation compared to CBMGA, besides presenting the same efficiency level. Then the electrical network was modeled in the Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) using the PSRA to implement the Self Healing technique. Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) were used to protect and control the system. Two different network communications were used between RTDS and IEDs, one with digital signal and another with GOOSE messages based on the IEC 61850 standard. The time data obtained by the two network communication are compared to show the effectiveness of the PSRA.

This paper shows the design and development of a module named: Supervision and Control of Charge “SCC“, which conforms a home energy management system prototype. This module has internal aspects such as the physical structure of the device, which has to do with monitoring, supervising and controlling loads. Likewise, the software of the proposal is shown, it is related to the capture of energy measurement basic parameters. It involves information and communication technologies in order to take energy measures in the appliances, with the objective of transmitting information to a central system through power line communication so it can be processed in three different ways: manual, semiautomatic and automatic, which work with decision algorithms. After developing operation tests, the average response time was 1s in manual mode and 2s in automatic and semiautomatic mode. Besides, with the semiautomatic mode operation during early morning hours, savings of approximately 240,12 kWh/year are achieved per user. The prototype was designed taking into account the use of standard communication protocols in the context of Internet of things.

In Peru, users of the electric service bear the burden of free declaration of natural gas price in thermoelectric generation. We will see the impact that real costs will have, making the free electric market unreal with distorted competitiveness. Situation that influences electricity rates and the incentive to promote competitiveness in the electricity sector. We will analyze the cases of the Panamericana and Rubí Photovoltaic Solar Power Plants, installed in Peru, in the Moqbegua region. We can see the impact on the Premium granted to these renewable energy plants that allowed their investment through the RER Subsidy (PRIMA). Data are adopted for the 2015–2016 tariff year in their respective bus bars.

The problem of improving the quality of electricity in medium voltage (MV) distribution electric networks (DEN) can be solved with the help of intelligent semiconductor booster devices. A variant of such a device is the thyristor regulator of booster voltage (TRBV), developed by the NNSTU. The operation of semiconductor devices causes a non-sinusoidal voltage of the network. The article is devoted to the investigation of the TRBV output voltage harmonic composition. The developed Simulinkmodel of a MV DEN segment with TRBV allows conducting the research. The modes of the longitudinal, transverse and longitudinal-transverse voltage regulation are considered. The output voltage of the TRBV meets the requirements of the regulatory standards.

Most of transmission line faults are line to ground and most of them are transitory in nature. In this sense, high speed auto reclosing improves the system stability, but there must be certainty that the arc has been extinguished. For shunt compensated transmission lines, frequently, an additional singlephase reactor is connected between neutral and ground. This reactor contributes to coupling reduction and is important to reduce secondary arc current amplitude, which in turn will decrease the secondary arc extinction time during single pole reclosing This paper examines different aspects related to the neutral reactor optimization and its effects for arc extinction time reduction during three-phase reclosing. Additionally, the result of applying a switching method to reduce overvoltages during three-phase reclosing is presented.

This paper presents an automated irrigation system for strawberry crops, which the main goal is to keep soil moisture in a suitable range by making efficient use of energy and water resources. A Constrained Matricial Predictive Controller- CMPC was used because it allows projecting the behavior of moisture through a prediction horizon, estimating the perturbations and responding appropriately to them. To feed the model, evapotranspiration data from the climatological station of RAMPA research group were systematized for three years. The solution was evaluated on four scenarios with different evapotranspiration curves. The key advantage of the proposed controller is the possibility to get the minimum amount of energy and water resources necessary to achieve the control objective using an optimization scheme. The results show that the proposed controller obtains a better performance with respect to reference PID controller, widely used in this kind of applications.

This paper presents a methodology for analyzing the feasibility of the insertion of energy storage systems in electric distribution networks due to different regulatory policies. Various topologies are used as input data, and as output, we have the maximum possible cost that the energy storage system may have to be considered viable by the potential investor. With the input data is possible any combination of these 8 regulatory policies, generating 255 scenarios for evaluation. For each scenario, the possible revenue was estimated, with each one scenario generating 441 sub-scenarios resulting from the test of several levels of WACC and taxes. Thus, in all, there are 112,455 possible regulatory configurations for evaluation. Based on the calculation of cash flow in each sub-scenario, the work determined the maximum possible cost in each of these. The proposed method allows the validation of which energy storage technologies are feasible or not, and which technological development they need to achieve considering the regulatory framework in which they are inserted. Through simulations with standard distribution networks using worldwide economical reference values, it is possible to determine which changes regulatory agents must make to enable the rise of storage systems in power distribution networks.
