The transformer's protection against internal faults like phase to phase faults, phase to ground faults, and inter-turn faults are provided using the percentage bias differential protection scheme. The paper introduced dual-slope implementation in percentage bias differential relay by considering mal-operation of the percentage bias differential relay against high external fault current and inrush current harmonics. The paper's beginning shows the modeling and analysis of a percentage bias differential protection scheme to protect the 132KV/33KV primary distribution transformer. The issues of a percentage bias differential protection scheme are explained in the middle of the paper. The dual slop algorithm is designed and implemented on a radial distribution system using MATLAB software environment. The results show that the through fault stability of the transformer is improved due to dual-slope implementation. The risk of maloperation of bias differential scheme due to high external fault current and harmonic inrush current is considerably reduced after implementing dual-slope characteristics. The proposed algorithm is practical for deploying in the digital signal controller (DSC) for protection engineers.

DC Microgrid has got attention due to wide use of DC energy sources. For this purpose, high gain boost converter is proposed. Modified switched inductor is used to boost the output voltage at the load. Compared with the traditional boost converter the converter has high voltage gain. The converter has two switches and is operated using single control reducing the complexity of the circuit. The steady state analysis in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is elaborated. Further, the comparison is made with similar topologies. Loss analysis and effect on the efficiency of the converter by considering the non-idealities is detailed in the paper theoretically. Simulation is carried on PLECs software. Theoretical results and simulation study are in agreement with each other.

Lithium-ion batteries are often operated to reach excellence in technical and economical performance, but they rapidly degrade as a consequence of charge/discharge profiles. Maintaining the knowledge of the actual capacity of the battery is mandatory to pursue the objectives without incurring into unexpected constraints. This paper addresses battery prognostic from the viewpoint of probabilistic prediction of the State of Health (SoH) and of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the batteries. Two probabilistic models based on time series and quantile regression, each developed in a different framework, are developed and compared for this purpose. They are specifically suited up to exploit data coming from Accelerated Degradation Tests (ADTs). Moreover, a dedicated procedure to extract a single, point value from the probabilistic predictions is presented to let the models work also in deterministic scenarios. Numerical experiments conducted on actual public data confirm the validity of the proposal, within a rigorous comparison with relevant benchmarks taken from the literature on the topic.

In this paper, we propose an attack resilient distributed control for islanded AC microgrid (MG) systems. The distributed control on an MG is implemented based on a sparse communication network where each agent only has access to the information of itself and the neighboring distributed generators (DGs). Although distributed control has several advantages compared with its centralized counterpart, the increased dependence on communication and lack of access to global information make it vulnerable to cyber threats from malicious entities. To increase the resiliency of the distributed control, we propose to incorporate a distributed robust state estimation scheme. In the proposed scheme, the voltage and frequency references are calculated based on the results of the distributed estimator instead of directly using the local measurements. The performance of the proposed attack resilient control approach is validated through simulation results on a test microgrid system under false data injection attack.

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the modern power system makes it a complicated cyber-physical system (CPS). In this case, an adversary may find some loopholes, penetrate to CPS layer, compromise data, and consequently result in security and stability issues. In this paper, we proposed a laboratory set up to emulate the attacker's behavior and then detect the injected false data. To this end, RTU hardware and software are used to simulate a typical SCADA system. A protocol analyzer software is also employed to simulate a cyber-attack, inject false data, and send it to the control center. In the second stage, we developed a two-stage framework to detect FDIA. First, the LSTM, as a supervised learning algorithm, is utilized to build a predictive model. In this process, hyperparameter optimization is implemented to improve the accuracy of the developed model. In the second stage, an unsupervised scoring algorithm is applied to the real-time data to find the sequences of injected false data. Also, a penalty factor is considered during the detection procedure to prevent the algorithm from greedy search behavior. Simulation results on a real-world data set (Chicago load/weather) show the proposed method's effectiveness in the cyberattack implementation and FDIA detection problem.

Two major issues facing grid-forming inverters are synchronism and phase reference inaccuracies. Prior literature has addressed these problems with solutions such as disciplining the phase reference using GPS and active synchronization modes but these methods have not yet been integrated together. This paper serves to unite solutions and develop a means for an inverter to remain synchronized and grid-forming without phase reference inaccuracies through a novel time-disciplined active synchronization phase reference. Further, this work expands upon prior literature on active synchronization to include black-start capabilities. Finally, the time disciplined phase reference is evaluated in Simulink as a grid-forming inverter capable of any synchronization circumstance and assessed by key metrics from modern standards.

The identification of critical components in electric power grids is an important challenge power engineers face. Similarly, many ecologists face the challenge of identifying important species in food web networks. Drawing similarities between power grid networks and food web networks, this study utilizes proposed identification methods from ecology literature to identify critical components in electric power grids. These ecological methods used include measures of Sum of the Trophic Overlap (STO) and Weighted Trophic Overlap (WTO). We also study a method proposed from power engineering literature that uses the Normalized Line Outage Distribution Factor (NLODF) to compare the different methods. The intention of this study is to determine if bio-inspiration in criticality metrics provides a feasible tool to use in power grid analysis. The proposed engineering method utilizing NLODF is found to be more accurate in identifying critical lines in power grids when considering all lines in the grid. However, the ecological metric STO is found to be as good as NLODF when considering the top 10,20, or 30% of lines. STO was the most accurate metric in the largest grid analyzed, suggesting STO may be more accurate in larger grids. The comparable performance of the ecological and engineering methods suggests the ecological methods can be used to accurately identify critical components in electric power grids.

The optimal economic-emission dispatch is acquired through optimal energy management of sources in the microgrid. The dispatch from distributed energy resources (DERs) and power exchange with the grid are managed for achieving the optimal operation in the microgrid. The optimal scheduling of microgrid varies according to its mode of connection to the grid. In this paper, the concept of zero bus load flow (ZBLF) is performed in a microgrid by known power injection from the grid. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is employed for attaining the optimum output values of sources with distinct characteristics. In this work, the PSO embedded Fuzzy multi-objective approach is implemented for optimal energy management in the microgrid. The objectives such as operation cost, emission, and cost of energy loss are considered in a 24-hour time horizon. The degree of satisfaction of each objective is attained by representing in the fuzzy domain due to its imprecise nature. The results of Fuzzy-PSO method are validated with nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). The proposed technique has been applied to a 33-bus grid connected microgrid system.

This paper proposes a decentralised control strategy using droop-based control to generate a charging schedule for electric vehicles (EV). This strategy aims to mitigate voltage rise caused by rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems and phase unbalance caused by unbalance loads in a low-voltage distribution (LV) network. The strategy also smooths the voltage profile of the network and reduces variation between the maximum and minimum voltages. A modified IEEE 13 node test feeder with an LV network based on a semi-rural Australian town was used to show the impacts of PV and EV charging in the network and verify the proposed strategy.

Buildings, as one of the major final energy consumers, are among key contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. A zero energy building is, by definition, a building that produces as much energy from renewable sources as it consumes yearly. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive device sizing model to find the most cost-optimal size of thermal and electrical devices in a zero energy building. The presence of several technologies (i.e., photovoltaic panel, solar thermal collector, heat pump, combined heat and power, heat storage tank, and battery energy storage) and their practical nonlinear behavior are considered in the proposed model. Then, to investigate the effect of uncertainties (i.e., demand and weather forecasting errors) in the quality of the optimal solution, a sensitivity analysis with respect to the correlation between uncertainties is performed. Finally, to illustrate the advantages of the proposed model, a typical building located on the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia is studied.
