In the interconnected power system, frequency control and stability are of vital importance and an indicator of the system-wide active power balance. The shutdown of conventional power plants leads to faster frequency changes and a steeper frequency gradient due to the reduced system inertia. For this reason, the importance of electrical frequency estimation methods is increasing, among others as an input variable for the control of converter-based generation plants. The aim of this work is to implement, compare and analyze the robustness of different frequency estimation methods in time-domain simulations. The Phase-Locked Loop, the Zero-Crossing method and the Recursive-Gauss-Newton method are implemented as real-time methods in a simple testbench in Matlab/Simulink. The parameters of the methods are tuned for a reference case and compared to the rotational frequency of a connected synchronous generator. With the tuned parameters, the maximum deviation between frequency estimation and the synchronous generator frequency can be limited to 15 mHz. The Zero-Crossing method shows the best robustness when changing the magnitude of the active power imbalance. In addition, the sensitive parameters of the frequency estimation methods behave approximately linear to the magnitude of the active power imbalance, so that a simple implementation can be designed for simulations.

The global energy situation highlights the critical need for sustainability-focused education and raising awareness for environmental issues among the younger generation. In the same context, the increased demand for well-trained energy professionals is often emphasized as a key factor for a smooth and efficient energy transition. Despite this, there is a limited number of studies in the literature presenting examples of good practice in sustainability and energy efficiency implementation in higher education curricula. This study aims to fill this gap in the framework of an impact assessment survey concerning the implementation of a dedicated optional course in sustainability and energy efficiency field for undergraduate electrical engineering students. The results of the survey show that together with a better understanding of specific concepts, improvements in concern, willingness and behavior associated with sustainability and energy efficiency concepts have been reported by students, after they attended the proposed course during the semester.

This paper presents an approach to classify the hydrophobicity characteristic of silicone rubber (SiR) samples using deep learning algorithms. By deforming the hydrophobicity property of SiR samples using corona discharges, images of water droplets placed on the sample surface were acquired. From the images, the contact angles of the droplets were determined to find the hydrophobicity classes. The generated water droplet image dataset was trained, validated, and tested utilizing AlexNet, VGGNet, and ResNet. The result shows that the modified AlexNet model with an accuracy of 99.36% is a reliable diagnostic method to identify the hydrophobicity qualification of the SiR samples.

This paper presents a review of a range of novel protection schemes and described a new fault detection method using only current measurements, based upon comparison of pre- and during-fault current angles (and communication of angular shifts between measurement locations when faults are detected). Case studies are also presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The scheme is suitable for when conventional protection is not suitable for power networks, particularly microgrid with distributed generation units and energy storage leading to bi-directional power flows during normal and fault conditions, and low- and variable fault levels. In such cases, directional relays may be necessary to provide effective protection. However, measuring both voltage and current may be expensive and the scheme highlighted here overcomes such requirements, and it is proposed that 4/5G communications or radio-based communications may provide an effective means of transferring the (low-bandwidth) data when required.

Three-phase Split-source inverter (SSI) has recently been proposed as an alternative to the three-phase Z-source inverters (ZSI). This paper introduced an improved finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) algorithm for the SSI. The proposed FCS-MPC algorithm reduces the computational burden by selecting the discharging vector directly according to the current status of the inductor compared to its reference point instead of checking the other states. Moreover, it simplifies the cost function by removing the inductor’s current term, and thus no weighting factor is needed inside the cost function. A detailed analysis of the proposed algorithm is presented in this paper. Finally, simulation results based on MATLAB have been introduced to show the viability of the presented research and theoretical study of the FCS-MPC algorithm of the three-phase SSI under different operating conditions.

Robust and well-established distribution network (DN) equivalent models have been used by system operators. Nevertheless, the advent of distributed energy resources (DERs) has changed the nature and the characteristics of the DNs triggering the need for updating the existing models. This study deals with the reliability of the exponential and polynomial static load models on active DN (ADN) modeling under steady-state conditions. The accuracy of the examined models is evaluated under specific load types and DERs penetration level. The conducted analysis reveals the high impact of the DER penetration level on the model accuracy and its parameters. Results indicate that the ZIP model presents higher accuracy compared to the exponential. However, both models fail to accurately capture the steady-state behavior of ADNs in case frequency and voltage controls are applied to the DER units.

Emerging Energy Load Forecasting (ELF) methodologies assist Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and Aggregators. Energy imbalance among consumption and generation could also be managed with high prediction accuracy, as well as smart grid applications, like Demand Response (DR) events. This study aims to test several algorithms as a solution for ELF. The proposed methodology utilizes machine/deep learning models for time-series forecasting in the domain of energy consumption. Via result comparison it has been illustrated that Neural Networks (NNs), both artificial NNs such as Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) recurrent NNs with Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) were the more accurate ones among other models, showcasing Mean Absolute Error (MAE), R-squared (R2), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Coefficient Variation of Root Mean Squared Error (CVRMSE) values equal to 1.281, 0.98, 2.238 and 0.147, respectively.

Substation Automation Systems are commonly used to control, protect and monitor substations in a power system. Many existing substation automation systems use proprietary protocols, which are no longer supported. Therefore, expensive and complex solutions are often required when automation equipment fails or reaches the end of life (15/20 years), or a substation extension is required. Older proprietary-based protocols in substation automation systems are being updated and replaced by introducing the IEC 61850 standard series.IEC 61850 brings significant changes to how Intelligent Electronic Devices used for protection are to be tested. The introduction of non-traditional relay signals resulted in the need for new tools and processes regarding commissioning, testing and maintenance.This paper provides an overview of existing proprietary protocols and outlines the IEC 61850 standard. The challenges in testing IEC 61850 protection equipment are investigated. Finally, a power utility approach for extending existing legacy substation automation systems is demonstrated in a lab-based trial. The comparison illustrated the many benefits of installing and extending substations using IEC 61850 rather than reengineering the proprietary systems.

In modern power systems is recommended to study the overall system with detailed understanding of the large-scale generation, the wider transmission network, the distributed renewable energy sources and the flexible loads. Therefore, detailed simulation models are required. In this paper, a combined transmission and distribution network synthetic model is developed to investigate the dynamic performance of the overall power system and analyse the interactions between its constituent parts. Conventional and modern power system configurations are considered. The small-signal stability of the power system is investigated by means of eigenvalue analysis and by applying the Matrix Pencil algorithm to identify the dominant modes contained in the dynamic responses.
