The increasing focus on carbon neutrality has led to heightened interest in multiple microgrids (MGs) due to their potential to significantly reduce emissions by the integrated electricity-heat-carbon sharing among them. In this paper, a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) framework for integrated electricity-heat-carbon sharing is proposed to optimize the trading process of multi-energy and carbon among multiple MGs. The proposed framework considers certified emission reductions (CERs) of photovoltaic (PV) systems in each MG, and carbon allocation and trading among multiple MGs. The P2P trading behaviors among multiple MGs are modelled as a non-cooperative game. A decentralized optimization method is then developed using a price-based incentive scheme to solve the non-cooperative game and optimize the transactions of the electricity-heat-carbon jointly. The optimization problem is solved using sub-gradient in a decentralized manner. And the Nash equilibrium of the non-cooperative game is proven to exist uniquely, ensuring the convergence of the model. Furthermore, the proposed decentralized optimization method safeguards the private information of the MGs. Numerical results show that the total operational cost of the MGs and the carbon emissions can be reduced significantly.

Short-term voltage stability (STVS) assessment is a critical monitoring technology in modern power systems. During daily operations, transmission lines may switch on or off due to scheduled maintenance or unexpected faults, which poses challenges to the STVS assessment under varying topology change conditions. To adapt the STVS assessment to the system topology changes, we propose a deep-learning-based STVS assessment model with the topology-adaptive voltage dynamic feature and the fine-tuning domain transfer for power systems with changing system topologies. The topology-adaptive voltage dynamic feature, extracted from streaming time-series data of phasor measurement units (PMUs), is used to characterize transient voltage stability. The voltage dynamic features depend on the balance of reactive power flow and system topology, effectively revealing both spatiotemporal patterns of post-disturbance system dynamics. The simulation results based on large disturbances in the New England 39-bus power system demonstrate that the proposed model achieves superior STVS assessment performance, with an accuracy of 99.65% in predicting voltage stability compared with the existing deep learning methods. The proposed model also performs well when applied to the larger IEEE 145-bus power system. The fine-tuning domain transfer of the proposed model adapts very well to system topology changes in power systems. It achieves an accuracy of 99.50% in predicting the STVS for the New England 39-bus power system with the transmission line alternation. Further-more, the proposed model demonstrates strong robustness to noisy and missing data.

The self-synchronizing voltage source inverter (SSVSI) is widely studied because of its grid-forming capability. However, the slow response of the active power control loop (APCL) under the weak grid makes it difficult for the SSVSI to quickly support the frequency of a low-inertia grid. In this paper, a grid framework is established to analyze the frequency support service process of the SSVSI, and the shortcomings of the regulation of the damping coefficient and virtual inertia co-efficient for frequency support are analyzed. Then, an adaptive additional damping control method is proposed to optimize the ability of SSVSI to support the grid frequency. The proposed control method adjusts the damping of the APCL without affecting the system steady-state characteristics, which improves the active power response speed of the SSVSI. Besides, the proposed control method adaptively adjusts the additional damping coefficient based on the active power response without measuring the grid parameters. Compared with other forms of control, the proposed control method excels in minimizing the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) and the frequency deviation (FD) within the grid, without succumbing to the constraints posed by unknown grid parameters. Furthermore, the analysis of the system stability is also presented. Finally, the experimental hardware results obtained from a miniaturized grid proto-type are presented, corroborating the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Oscillation accidents emerge in power systems integrated with increasing penetration of renewable energy sources. The impedance of electromagnetic dynamics is investigated in recent years, where the mechanical dynamics are neglected. So far, the low-frequency oscillations are not well addressed with the impedance analysis method. A novel analytical impedance is formulated and implemented for wind energy conversion system consisting of wind turbine generators (WTGs) and wind farm, which fills the gap in the mechanical dynamics of the impedance. Instead of assuming constant values, the electromechanical dynamics of the rotor speed and the pitch angle are involved in the WTG impedance. Besides, the impedance framework is generally and modularly designed and is adaptive to different operating regions. With the developed analytical impedance, the stability assessment can cover the low-frequency oscillations, providing an in-depth insight into the mechanical parameters influencing the small-signal stability performance. As an application, the impedance characteristic and stability performance of systems with active power reserve for grid supporting are analyzed and optimized. Furthermore, the shafting torsional vibrations of WTGs in wind farms are analyzed with modal decomposition and the low-frequency impedance model. The improved accuracy of the developed analytical impedance is illustrated by comparison with commonly used impedance, which ignores the coupling between the electrical and mechanical dynamics. It is proven that the mechanical dynamics have a significant influence on the impedance, particularly in the low-frequency range. Experimental validation is carried out to validate the low-frequency impedance model and the stability performance.

Realistic uncertainties of renewable energies and loads may possess complicated probability distributions and correlations, which are difficult to be characterized by standard probability density functions and hence challenge existing uncertainty propagation analysis (UPA) methods. Also, nonintrusive spectral representation (SR)-based UPA methods can only estimate system responses at each time point separately, which is time-consuming for analyzing power system dynamics. Thus, this paper proposes a generic multi-output SR (GMSR) method to effectively tackle the above limitations by developing the generic correlation transformation and multi-output structure. The effectiveness and superiority of GMSR in efficiency and accuracy are demonstrated by comparing it with existing SR methods.

Meter encoding, as a side-effect-free scheme, has been proposed to detect false data injection (FDI) attacks without significantly affecting the operation of power systems. However, existing meter encoding schemes either require encoding lots of measurements from different buses to protect a substantial proportion of a power system or are unhidden from alert attackers. To address these issues, this paper proposes a smart in-verter enabled meter encoding scheme for detecting FDI attacks in distribution system state estimation. The proposed scheme only encodes the measurements from the existing programmable smart inverters. Meanwhile, this scheme can protect all the downstream buses from the encoded inverter bus. Compared with existing schemes, the proposed scheme encodes fewer meters when protecting the same number of buses, which decreases the encoding cost. In addition, by following the physical power flow laws, the proposed scheme is hidden from alert attackers who can implement the state estimation-based bad data detection (BDD). Simulation results from the IEEE 69-bus distribution system demonstrate that the proposed scheme can mislead the attacker's state estimation on all the downstream bus-es from the encoded bus without arousing the attacker's suspicion. FDI attacks that are constructed based on the misled estimated state are very likely to trigger the defender's BDD alarm.

Over the past decade, bidding in electricity markets has attracted widespread attention. Reinforcement learning (RL) has been widely used for electricity market bidding as a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) tool to make decisions under real-world uncertainties. However, current RL-based bidding methods mostly employ low-dimensional bids (LDBs), which significantly diverge from the $N$ price-power pairs commonly used in current electricity markets. The $N$-pair bid format is denoted as high-dimensional bid (HDB) format, which has not been fully integrated into the existing RL-based bidding methods. The loss of flexibility of current RL-based bidding methods could greatly limit the bidding profits and make it difficult to address the increasing uncertainties caused by renewable energy generation. In this paper, we propose a framework for fully utilizing HDBs in RL-based bidding methods. First, we employ a special type of neural network called the neural network supply function (NNSF) to generate HDBs in the form of $N$ price-power pairs. Second, we embed the NNSF into a Markov decision process (MDP) to make it compatible with most existing RL algorithms. Finally, the experiments on energy storage systems (ES-Ss) in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) real-time electricity market show that the proposed bidding method with HDBs can increase the bidding flexibility, thereby increasing the profits of state-of-the-art RL-based bidding methods.

Building integrated energy systems (BIESs) are pivotal for enhancing energy efficiency by accounting for a significant proportion of global energy consumption. Two key barriers that reduce the BIES operational efficiency mainly lie in the renewable generation uncertainty and operational non-convexity of combined heat and power (CHP) units. To this end, this paper proposes a soft actor-critic (SAC) algorithm to solve the scheduling problem of BIES, which overcomes the model non-convexity and shows advantages in robustness and generalization. This paper also adopts a temporal fusion transformer (TFT) to enhance the optimal solution for the SAC algorithm by forecasting the renewable generation and energy demand. The TFT can effectively capture the complex temporal patterns and dependencies that span multiple steps. Furthermore, its forecasting results are interpretable due to the employment of a self-attention layer so as to assist in more trustworthy decision-making in the SAC algorithm. The proposed hybrid data-driven approach integrating TFT and SAC algorithm, i.e., TFT-SAC approach, is trained and tested on a real-world dataset to validate its superior performance in reducing the energy cost and computational time compared with the benchmark approaches. The generalization performance for the scheduling policy, as well as the sensitivity analysis, are examined in the case studies.

Public buildings present substantial demand response (DR) potential, which can participate in the power system operation. However, most public buildings exhibit a high degree of uncertainties due to incomplete information, varying thermal parameters, and stochastic user behaviors, which hinders incorporating the public buildings into power system operation. To address the problem, this paper proposes an interval DR potential evaluation method and a risk dispatch model to integrate public buildings with uncertainties into power system operation. Firstly, the DR evaluation is developed based on the equivalent thermal parameter (ETP) model, actual outdoor temperature data, and air conditioning (AC) consumption data. To quantify the uncertainties of public buildings, the interval evaluation is given employing the linear regression method considering the confidence bound. Utilizing the evaluation results, the risk dispatch model is proposed to allocate public building reserve based on the chance constrained programming (CCP). Finally, the proposed risk dispatch model is reformulated to a mixed-integer second-order cone programming (MISOCP) for its solution. The proposed evaluation method and the risk dispatch model are validated based on the modified IEEE 39-bus system and actual building data obtained from a southern city in China.

The proposed evaluation method and the risk dispatch model are validated based on the modified IEEE 39-bus system and actual building data obtained from a southern city in China.","PeriodicalId":51326,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy","volume":"13 4","pages":"1347-1359"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10856823","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144716307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
With the increased penetration of renewable energy sources, the grid-forming (GFM) energy storage (ES) has been considered to engage in primary frequency regulation (PFR), often necessitating the use of a frequency deadband (FDB) to prevent excessive battery charging cycling and miti-gate frequency oscillations. Implementing the FDB is relatively straightforward in grid-following (GFL) control. However, implementing the FDB in GFM control presents a significant challenge since the inverter must abstain from providing active power at any frequency within the FDB. Therefore, in this paper, the performance of PFR control in the GFM-ES inverter is analyzed in detail first. Then, the FDB is implemented for GFM inverters with various types of synchronization methods, and the need for inertia response is also considered. Moreover, given the risk of oscillations near the FDB boundary, different FDB setting methods are proposed and examined, where an improved triangular hysteresis method is proposed to realize the fast response and enhanced stability. Finally, the simulation and experiment results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the above methods.
