Smart grid technologies are expected to increase system efficiency and reliability using advancement in automation, communication, computation and optimization. Several control algorithms have been developed or enhanced for operation and control of smart distribution grid including Fault Detection, Isolation and service Restoration (FDIR), Optimal Feeder Reconfiguration (OFR), and Volt/Var Control (VVC). In recent years, VVC algorithms have been proposed for energy saving in distribution systems due to advancement provided by smart grid automation and control. VVC helps to lower distribution feeder voltage to decrease energy consumption. However, quantification of this impact is hard due to several external factors such as weather and end users behavior. On the other hand, existing evaluation methods of VVC algorithms are either not suitable for long-term study or intrusive. This paper addresses these issues by proposing a new technique to estimate `distribution system demand without smart grid implementation' utilizing `data measured from system with smart grid implementation'. Inter-dependency of voltage and load is considered based on estimated load characteristic. An estimation method is developed to find energy saving in real time due to VVC smart grid control algorithms. Developed algorithm is tested on real distribution feeder, implemented in industry and indicates satisfactory results.

This paper presents a regression based moving window model for solving the short-term electricity forecasting problem. Moving window approach is employed to trace the demand pattern based on the past history of load and weather data. Regression equation is then formed and least square method is used to determine the parameters of the model. In this paper, a new concept associated with cooling and heating degree is used to establish the relationship between electricity demand and temperature, which is one of the key climatic variables. In addition, Pearson's correlation has been employed to investigate the interdependency of electricity demand between different time periods. These analyses together with the data in the holiday period provide the supportive information for the appropriate selection of the window size. A case study has been reported in this paper by acquiring the relevant data for the state of New South Wales, Australia. The results are then compared with a neural network based model. The comparison shows that the proposed moving window approach with the different window sizes outperforms conventional neural network technique in small time scales i.e., from 30 minutes to 1 day ahead.

Recently, a large number of photovoltaic systems have been installed in the distribution system. Reverse power flow through the distribution line caused by photovoltaic generation results in the voltage deviation from the specified range. Usually, the photovoltaic system is controlled autonomously using an individual power conditioner. Autonomous control causes inequality of the photovoltaic generation power on the same distribution line. This paper proposes three new cooperative control methods by communicating the information between power conditioners to overcome this problem. This paper discusses five control methods: conventional active power control, conventional active and reactive power control, the proposed cooperative active power control, and two proposed active and reactive cooperative controls. The study evaluates these control methods by the amount of PV generation power and the power loss in one day.

We introduce various 3D motion picture technologies, from the commercially available stereogram to a spatial image methods such as holography. We show a magneto optical spatial light modulator with sub-micron pixels driven by spin transfer switching (spin SLM) as a holography display device. It has a potential to solve the long-standing narrow viewing zone issue. We have developed the spin SLM with a transistor back plane which plays an important role for extending large scale. The fabricated spin SLM has 10 × 5 pixels with magnetic tunneling junctions with backplane transistors. We have successfully demonstrated its electrical operation with as low current density as 0.6 MA/cm2 which is one of the smallest current density with spin transfer switching, and confirmed its contrast change by magnetization switching in light modulation elements. In summary, we have shown that the Spin SLM with backplane transistor technology could be crucial technology to solve the critical issue for the electrical holography.

Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) is a new atypical load in power systems. In future, PEV load will play a significant role in the distribution grids. This integrated load into the power grid may overload the system components, increase power losses and may violate system constraints. Currently, the most common method of Electric Vehicle (EV) modeling is to consider the EV loads as constant power elements without considering the voltage dependency of EV charging system during state of charges (SOC). EV load demand cannot be considered as a constant power, as modeling as a constant power load will not provide accurate information about the behavior of charging system during charging process. As several research projects on smart grids are now looking into realistic models representing the realistic behavior of an EV loads, this paper proposes a methodology for modeling of EV charger integrated to an electricity grid in order to understand the impacts of EV charging load. A charging system was designed to capture the EV load behavior and extract the coefficients of the EV ZIP load model. A comparative study was carried out with different types of load models. The results indicate that the assumptions of load demand as a constant power to analysis the effect of PEVs on power grid would not be effective in real time application of PEVs.

Voltage regulation has always been a problem in open pit mine power distribution systems due to long distance cables, continuously changing power distribution topology, and high power pulsating loads. Keeping voltage profile constant at load terminals in the mine pit is very important especially for shovels and drillers. Instantaneous voltage drop affects the shovel's operation triggering drives protections affecting severely mining production. This paper reports operational experience obtained in different copper mine facilities. Voltage regulation analysis of typical power distribution mine systems, showing voltage profile and the effects in shovels and drillers operation is presented. Different practical alternatives are proposed to improve voltage regulations, demonstrating than the use of series active compensation presents important advantages and becomes an interesting alternative.

A solar farm can be divided in three distinct areas: the substation, the inverter houses and the solar arrays. The interconnection of the grounding grids of these three areas constitutes an extended grounding system. The characteristics of this grounding system are unique to solar farms. There are different factors affecting the performance of this grounding system such as the electric resistivity of the soil at different locations within the farm, the year round weather conditions, the layout of the solar racks and the design of the rack piles. It is critical to take into account all these factors when designing the grounding system to comply with the requirements specified by the codes and standards. These requirements are the touch potential, the step potential and the ground potential rise. The factors affecting the design of the grounding system in a solar farm are described in this study.

The increasing penetration of distributed renewable energy resources and increasing in participation of demand response from consumers make the microgrid become a favorable option for future power system development. Since some loads are mission critical and require 24/7 uninterruptable supply, a smart microgrid is expected as an effective architecture to serve this purpose. This paper proposes the application of electronic power transformer (EPT) to improve the controllability and reliability of a mission critical microgrid. The application scenarios of EPT in the microgrids are analyzed in detailed. Some case studies including applying the EPTs into a grid connected microgrid, among autonomous microgrids, and between two microgrids are analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate the potential of the EPT in enhancing the controllability and reliability of the microgrid.

This article discusses the actual failure rate of electronic components when these are exposed to harsh environments, which can include vibration, dust, humidity, high temperature and others. It presents a compilation on the physico-chemical effects that can take place when electronic components are stressed and how such effects can reduce the component life. It is also presented a compilation of the results of a thorough and comprehensive research on different standards for reliability prediction, along with a critical and comparative analysis between the methodologies and applications related to each one of them. Furthermore, to provide the reader a broader understanding of the methodology used in these standards, an example employing a typical SV-PWM converter used in motor drive systems, submitted to different environmental stresses, is used as a case study.
