Load following of thermal power plants becomes exceedingly difficult as dependence upon variable power generation increases. Energy storage systems (ESS) can manipulate this unpredictable generation and provide controllable power from an otherwise uncontrollable source. Modeling the interaction between these technologies and the utility grid is fundamental for understanding performance and optimizing functionality. MATLAB is used to simulate these ESS behaviors. Historic data of generation and demand taken from ISO New England and IESO Ontario is used. The model treats the ESS as a series of equations to manipulate data and demonstrate ideal ESS behaviors over given daily, monthly, and seasonal time periods. ESS placed on the generation side of the transmission system is used to stabilize variable power production and maximizing the use of transmission line capacities. ESS on the load side of the utility system is used to match demand. Results show that, using this technology, dependence upon variable generation can be increased while maintaining power balance. Effective selection of ESS size can result in greater dependence upon clean energy, reduce transmission system capacity, and decrease power production costs.

The development and implementation of condition monitoring system become very important for wind industry with the increasing number of failures in wind turbine generators due to over temperature especially in offshore wind turbines where higher maintenance costs than onshore wind farms have to be paid due to their farthest locations. Monitoring the wind generators temperatures is significant and plays a remarkable role in an effective condition monitoring system. Moreover, they can be easily measured and recorded automatically by the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) which gives more clarification about their behavior trend. An unexpected increase in component temperature may indicate overload, poor lubrication, or possibly ineffective passive or active cooling. Many techniques are used to reliably predict generator's temperatures to avoid occurrence of failures in wind turbine generators. Multiple Linear Regression Model (MLRM) is a model that can be used to construct the normal operating model for the wind turbine generator temperature and then at each time step the model is used to predict the generator temperature by measuring the correlation between the observed values and the predicted values of criterion variables. Then standard errors of the estimate can be found. The standard error of the estimate indicates how close the actual observations fall to the predicted values on the regression line. In this paper, a new condition-monitoring method based on applying Multiple Linear Regression Model for a wind turbine generator is proposed. The technique is used to construct the normal behavior model of an electrical generator temperatures based on the historical generator temperatures data. Case study built on a data collected from actual measurements demonstrates the adequacy of the proposed model.
随着风力发电机组因温度过高而导致的故障越来越多，特别是海上风力发电机组由于位置较远，其维护成本高于陆上风力发电机组，因此状态监测系统的开发和实施对风力工业来说变得非常重要。风力发电机组温度的监测是建立有效的状态监测系统的重要组成部分。此外，监控与数据采集系统(SCADA)可以方便地对其进行自动测量和记录，使其行为趋势更加清晰。部件温度的意外升高可能表明过载、润滑不良或可能无效的被动或主动冷却。为了避免风力发电机组故障的发生，需要采用多种技术对机组温度进行可靠预测。多元线性回归模型(Multiple Linear Regression Model, MLRM)是一种可用于构建风力发电机组温度的正常运行模型，然后在每个时间步长通过测量准则变量的观测值与预测值之间的相关性来预测风力发电机组温度的模型。然后可以找到估计的标准误差。估计的标准误差表示实际观测值与回归线上预测值的接近程度。本文提出了一种基于多元线性回归模型的风力发电机组状态监测新方法。该技术基于历史发电机温度数据，构建了发电机温度的正常行为模型。建立在实际测量数据基础上的案例研究证明了所建议模型的充分性。

The crucial issue of loss of synchronization in post-disturbance conditions may lead to blackouts if corrective action is delayed. The complication increases due to large computation burden and time for wide-area network where thyristor-controlled series compensator (TCSC) is used as controller for transient stability enhancement. The trade-off in accuracy and speed in generating control law using linearized models becomes ineffective for changed operating scenarios. In addition, forming multi-machine linearized model becomes challenging when TCSC appears as non-separable element of a dense admittance matrix, which can be separated as a control variable in single-machine infinite-bus system. Overcoming the limitations of linearized controllers, the present paper verifies the Kuramoto mean-field condition using Kron reduction with non-trivial transfer conductances for unstable post-fault scenario. To regain synchronization effectively, necessary TCSC compensation has adjusted network parameters as proved by MATLAB simulations performed on 12-bus system, where real-time data is acquired by phasor measurement units.

A massive number of distributed energy resources (DER), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and smart appliances (loads) is expected to be deployed in the future. To capture the benefits associated with these emerging units, this paper proposes an advanced infrastructure that allows for an accurate and fast monitoring of the distribution electric feeder including various types of residential, commercial, and industrial loads. This scheme allows for optimizing the utilization and operation of the power system over a short term planning period. More precisely, the concept of distributed optimization algorithm through decomposing the problem into small parts is used to achieve the outlined goals. The enabling technologies that facilitate the implementation of the proposed infrastructure are the advanced metering devices and the distributed state estimation (DSE). The meters, basically, gather the system synchronized and non-synchronized data and send them to the DSE, which evaluates the real time model of the system 60 times per seconds. The results of the DSE are used to perform the optimization and set the controls for the system autonomously.

In order to solve the complicated problems about visualization of distribution topology structure, this paper proposes an automatic generation method consisted of several intelligent algorithms. Both layout and wiring are two main problems during the process of visualization. The gravitation-repulsion model is applied to optimize the substation nodes layout which can make the nodes of distribution more uniform in a given area. The gravitation between them will pull them to each other when the distance between two connected nodes is below a threshold. And each node suffers repulsions which push it away from the others if their positions are too close. An empirical approach is used to wire, which effectively reduces the crossing and avoids overlapping of the lines. Results of calculation show that the method proposed in this paper is effective and practical.

Traditional synchronizer cannot control multiple generators in distribution networks in coordination. In this paper, a real-time synchronization control (RTSC) is designed to keep all generators in different standalone distribution networks in synchronization at all times, which realizes a fast and reliable reconnection of disconnected power network. The frequency control and phase control in RTSC are investigated and low-pass filters are properly designed to avoid interference between these two controls. The simulation results in an isolated power system is verified the effectiveness of RTSC and have proved that the transient stability during reconfiguration process can be greatly enhanced by applying RTSC into system-level supervisory control of isolated power system.

Reactive power spot markets have been proposed by many in the power engineering community as a means of reactive power compensation within the U.S. deregulated energy markets. Cited benefits include incentive for proper reactive power investment for power system stability, the minimization of costs to meet load, and proper reactive power price signals. However, the market power that can be exercised by utilities may render the market useless for consumer participants. In addition, the zero price of reactive power as well as the volatility in demand may not inspire the investment that spot markets are thought to encourage, and current methods of pricing reactive power involve time-consuming optimizations. An ACOPF simulation was run utilizing a representative urban transmission and distribution system, confirming many of the weaknesses theorized to exist in real time reactive power spot markets including exercise of market power and price volatility.

This paper proposes a new Two-Time Scale (TTS) BCU method, and reports the first ever known use of the TTS-CUEP method in a multi-machine power system. The proposed TTS-BCU method is a numerical algorithm to correctly compute the slow and fast CUEPs of the TTS-CUEP method. It also provides a more robust algorithm to compute the CUEP of the original system.

Reliability issues in the wake of major blackouts have spurred a discussion on the development of reactive power markets. In the 2003 North American blackout, reactive power deficiency was identified as one of the causes for the propagation of the blackout. This event to an extent motivated the federal electricity regulatory committee (FERC) to explore the idea of reactive power markets. This paper investigates the need of reactive power in the system, the present compensatory structures and the new market structures suggested in literature. A survey of the present practices regarding compensation of reactive power and the associated drawbacks has been presented. In addition, the paper also analyses the possible challenges associated with implementation of competitive market structures as envisaged by FERC.
