Increasing share of distributed renewable energy sources (DRES) in the distribution network raises new operational and power quality challenges like overvoltage in the network feeders. Such power quality challenge limits the penetration of DRES in the distribution network. This paper addresses a communication independent droop control, a communication dependant fast control and proposes an integrated control for mitigating overvoltage in the LV distribution network. The two layer integred control consists of droop control and fast control. Proposed integrated control tries to equalise power curtailment, among inverters in a radial network.

Domestic Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) loads are among the most flexible residential loads for possible demand response (DR) applications. This paper aims at assessing the DR potential of HVAC loads in smart grids considering users' temperature preferences. For doing so, at first, a mathematical formulation is developed to evaluate the flexibility of HVAC loads. The model, by adjusting the HVAC load, intends to either maximize or minimize electricity consumption during specific hours of a day while the user thermal comfort is intact. The proposed model is then applied to a medium massive structure house in Helsinki, Finland. The study is performed for different seasons and the associated DR potential is evaluated. The simulation results showcase the significant potential of HVAC loads in both consumption reduction and load increment. It is shown that the DR potential can be significantly affected by temperature dead-bands representing consumers' willingness to accept change in their comfort. It is also demonstrated that installing even a small thermal storage capacity may lead to a greater value-added DR potential.

This paper investigates the extent of the effectiveness of the phase-wise compensation scheme to mitigate subsynchronous resonance in a large network. The compensation scheme was proposed in 1990 to lessen the risk of subsynchronous resonance (SSR). This paper presents the studies performed on a 16 machines, 68 bus network to evaluate the effectiveness of the scheme on dynamic instability and transient torque amplification problem due to subsynchronous resonance. SSR analysis is performed using both frequency scanning technique and electromagnetic transient simulations.

The concerns of sustainability and climate change have posed a significant growth of renewable energy associated with smart grid technologies. Various uncertainties are the major problems need to be handled by transmission system operator (TSO) planning. This paper mainly focuses on three uncertain factors, i.e. load growth, generation capacity and line faults, and aims to enhance the transmission system via the multi-objective TSO planning (MOTP) approach. The proposed MOTP approach optimizes three objectives simultaneously, namely the probabilistic available transfer capability (PATC), investment cost and power outage cost. A two-phase MOPSO algorithm is employed to solve this optimization problem, which can accelerate the convergence and guarantee the diversity of Pareto-optimal front set as well. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed multi-objective planning approach has been verified by the 77-bus system.

This paper provides a view to assess effects of supply security requirements in Finnish electricity distribution networks on network renovation demands. In the beginning of September in 2013 a new Electricity Market Act came into effect in Finland. It sets limits for duration of allowed interruptions. As a background of the act are long interruptions caused by several major disturbances within the past years. Thus, the legislation demands distribution system operators (DSOs) that do not fulfil the criteria of the maximum allowed interruption duration, to develop supply security. Improvement of supply security requires significant actions in distribution networks, which often means replacing of existing lines with underground cables or other line structures that are major-disturbance-proof (MDP) or resilient to major disturbances.

This paper provides rationale for a supervisory protective system to improve security of power system using classification of PMU data. It evaluates the performance of four major classifiers to classify disturbance events residing within the disturbance data obtained from the Phasor Data Concentrator (PDC) owned by a local utility. These classifiers are Support Vector Machines (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor Classifier, Naive Bayesian Classifier, and Recursive Partitioning and Regression Trees (RPART). Previous work by authors is used to obtain the targets (classes) for the classifiers. Performance of these classifiers is quantified in terms of accuracy and speed. Their suitability for real time classification to help create the supervisory protection system is discussed.

Low voltage cables in distribution grids will operate under harmful conditions more often in the near future, due to the integration of renewable energy sources and the addition of powerful consumption appliances. It is crucial to evaluate smart solutions that can prolong cable lifetime. Because most knowledge about thermal behaviour of cables has been collected in the medium and high voltage grids, it is also important to study, in real-world circumstances, the precise thermal reaction of low voltage cables to novel types of usage spikes and to protection mechanisms. We emulated a low voltage cable of a Dutch neighbourhood in a laboratory and conducted several overheating experiments for multiple hours. One scenario involved the usage of a smart battery with a control algorithm for the protection of the cable from overheating. We report on results of systematically varying currents and cable insulation. We demonstrate the positive effect of regular interruptions of high currents on cable temperature and that even a small battery (e.g. a used EV battery) can make a significant contribution to the reduction of overheating.

Large-scale, highly-concentrated wind power integrated into grids through long transmission lines will bring significant challenges to power system operation during steady-state and dynamic processes. Tremendous research has been conducted in this critical area. However, few, if any available testing systems have been established to meet the requirements of the research on different time-scales. The objective of this paper is to identify the functionality requirements of the testing systems for the comprehensive studies, which covers different time-scale problems of power systems. For this purpose, the realistic Gansu power grids in China and wind farms in Jiuquan area are selected. As a typical power grid with large-scale highly-concentrated wind power integration by long-distance transmissions, the characteristics of the selected wind farms and power grid are discussed first. Two simplified systems are constructed associated with the major characteristics. The critical functionality requirements of the testing systems for different research purposes, i.e., system planning, operation, control, and protection, are identified. As the first step, this paper scopes the key requirements and, ultimately, a complete testing system is expected.

This paper presents a methodology for the economic assessment of smarter solutions used for distribution network reinforcement planning; specifically, the methodology was developed to assess the economic value from deploying network reconfiguration and automation, and post-contingency Demand Side Response (DSR) as recommended by the Capacity to Customers (C2C) method, which is currently being tested in the UK at medium voltage levels (i.e., 11kV and 6.6kV). The C2C method combines the aforementioned smart solutions to increase distribution network capacity (limited by security considerations) and bring about several social benefits at the distribution level (e.g., reduced power losses and increased reliability); thus deferring or even averting costly network and substation reinforcements. The proposed methodology relies on scenarios, optimisations and a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) framework to assess the C2C method compared with traditional reinforcement practices. The approach is illustrated using a real UK distribution network where the C2C method is currently being tested, and general conclusions from other such networks are also discussed. The results highlight the conditions that encourage the deployment of C2C interventions as an alternative to or in combination with traditional reinforcements.

The goal of this paper is to propose a design approach to transform the current distribution network of the Eindhoven University of Technology campus into a smart grid. First, the needs and interests of different stakeholders are translated into a local definition of the smart grid concept. This definition is the starting point for outlining the values and services that the smart grid should provide, and the goals it needs to fulfill. Future campus loads, distributed generators, and mobile storage capabilities are modeled and simulated in order to assess their impact on the distribution grid and determine hosting capacity. Recommendations are given on the infrastructure needed for enabling the transition to smart grids, not only for the university as a concrete case study, but rather as a blueprint for future smart grid pilots.
