Recently there has been a considerable revival in interest in connecting generation to the distribution network in the form of Distributed Energy Resources (DER). DER benefits are site specific. In order to optimize the advantages of distributed generation it holds compulsively to reform management and to re-validate the operations of distribution network. Minimization of related costs and satisfying technical and physical constraints is also the key issue to concentrate. This paper presents a GA based methodology for DER planning in 37-bus IEEE distribution system for constant loading conditions. Various loading levels as specified by discos are taken into consideration. Further the subsystem and integrated distribution system is also taken into consideration.

This paper proposes a new Multi Area State Estimation (MASE) approach which utilizes all the field measurements received from the Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system and the Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) of the Wide Area Monitoring System (WAMS). Under this approach, a power system is divided into overlapping sub-areas. Each sub-area runs its own State Estimation (SE) independently and in parallel in such a way that the MASE of the complete power system completes before the arrival of the next measurement set. During the time gap between two successive RTUs measurement sets, the PMUs measurements along with the SE results of the sub-areas, time adjusted using state forecasting technique, are utilized to run the linear SE to provide fast update of the state estimates. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been demonstrated on IEEE30 bus system and 246-Bus reduced Northern Regional Power Grid (NRPG) Indian system.

This paper explains the design of a communication system, using an Arduino microcontroller and GSM Module and its functions / associated components to be implemented in a microgrid. The microgrid control and coordination infrastructure has been realized as a hierarchical multi-agent system (MAS) comprising of the DG agents, the Mu agent and the D agent. The Communication (Mu) Agent acts as a link between the lower-level microgrid agents (distributed energy resources (DERs), the load, the storage and the utility grid) which provide the required digital parameter inputs, and the Control Agent comprising of the Cloud. Data storage, analytics and control commands are generated based on the rule engine updates given by the Utility Service Provider (USP) to the Cloud. The microgrid side input data are converted into appropriate GPRS signals within the Arduino. The specific functions that enable this conversion are elucidated as pseudocode. Further, the cloud control commands are sent back to the various microgrid-side agents via the Mu agent as GPRS signals. The communication strategy has been explained in detail and has been implemented using Arduino keeping in mind system costs, ease of operability and maintenance.

In the Smart Grid, Demand Response (DR) programs have been developed rapidly, which change the fixed mindsets of satisfying the growing power demand merely by the development of power supply side, and utilize the demand side resources as alternative energy sources. Nevertheless, in application of DR programs, there are many uncertain factors which cannot be reflected in conventional optimization approaches. In this paper, the interruptible load optimization is carried out considering the uncertainties of customer response and total interruptible capacity requirement. The probability distribution of customer response can be deduced according to historical data. So the expected value of settling accounts as compensation or penalty to customers is calculated and minimized as one of the objective functions. The sum of variances is minimized as another objective function. The uncertainty of total interruptible capacity requirement is considered in the constraints, which is described as the confidence level. This optimization problem is called chance constrained programming because of the random variables in the constraints, which can be transformed to its deterministic equivalents. Example analysis demonstrates that the proposed optimization method can consider the coordination of economy and reliability in interrupting the customer loads and satisfy the confidence level.

The rural communities in Sarawak which consist of approximately 22% of the state's population are still relying on expensive and noisy diesel generator sets for a couple of hours every night simply because they are located in remote areas where people have limited access to electrical grid. If electricity is generated by means of potential Renewable Energy (RE) resources which are incorporated with smart microgrid for rural Sarawakians, there are many advantages that could be insightful for the society and the environment. In this paper, the availability of RE resources in Sarawak and their potentials to supply power to rural areas in Sarawak is first discussed. A smart microgrid concept for rural electrification in the state is also discussed to provide an overview on its characteristics and challenges.

This paper presents bio-inspired new krill herd (KH) algorithm for solving combined heat and power economic dispatch (CHPED) optimization task. This algorithm is based on the herding behavior of krill individuals and is very efficient in finding the global optima in shortest possible time. The objective function is defined as the distance of each krill individual from food and the highest density of herd. At any instant, position of a krill individual is dependent on 1) motion induced by surrounding krill, 2) foraging motion of it and 3) its diffusion motion. The algorithm has been illustrated simulating on a test system and the result has been compared with those obtained from particle swarm optimization (PSO), evolutionary programming (EP) and differential evolution (DE). The comparison shows that the solution obtained by this KH method is of better quality than other methods.

The loss of the integrity and/or availability of data has the potential to diversely affect power utility core operations. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is a computer system for collecting and analyzing data in almost real-time fashion for monitoring purposes. SCADA refers to the combination of telemetry and data acquisition. Communication plays, thus, a core role in SCADA systems. The use of wireless sensor network (WSN) can, however, lead to a more flexible and powerful protection scenarios than the current used wired sensor. Merit to Zigbee/IEEE802.15.4 as one of the promising WSN standards due to its low cost of deployment, low power, low data rate, short range, simplicity and free licensed spectrum. While a beacon-enabled mode is adopted for energy efficiency operations with a multi-hop mesh network built up for large coverage, IEEE802.15.4 standard does not provide any mechanisms for a beacon-enabled mode in multi-hop mesh networks. Hence, in order to provide a real-time data exchange and thus, predict a real-time system control, a Novel Zigbee/IEEE802.15.4 MAC Protocol for SCADA system is modeled in this paper. The protocol performance is evaluated using NS-2 Simulation and the preliminary results are encouraging.

This paper presents a review on the performance of four series and parallel custom power devices (CPDs) including active voltage conditioner (AVC), active power conditioner (APC), dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), and distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM). The CPDs are simulated on the modified IEEE 16-bus radial distribution system using Matlab/Simulink software to investigate performance efficacy of each devices under various power quality (PQ) disturbances including voltage sags, voltage interruption, and harmonic distortions. The simulation results demonstrate that the effectiveness of each device to compensate different types of power quality disturbances toughly depends on the device's arrangement and characteristics during PQ disturbances.

Emerging power system will be operationally efficient with greater impact of demand side management; which with self-automation will allow flexibility of operations due to ease of reconfiguration of the network, prompt detection of faults and efficient dispatch of network resources. This paper presents the inherent structural characteristics as a more appropriate alternative to the traditional load flow methods for solving problems in this type of power system. To demonstrate this, the problem of transmission dispatch and network reconfiguration to enhance the security and minimize system losses during occurrences of critical outages is investigated. A load flow analysis approach is compared with one based on inherent structural characteristics theory.
