The paper considers the implementation of an off-grid hybrid power supply as an alternative to construction of a grid connection in sparsely populated remote areas in Estonia. In the previous part, the proper configurations of the off-grid hybrid system and component sizes were determined through optimization procedures at different typical meteorological conditions including coastal and inland ones. In this part, levelized costs of energy (LCOEs) were found for a newly built grid connection under the same load demands and interest rates. They were compared with the LCOEs for the off-grid systems in order to find breakeven grid extension distances. As a result, the recommendations on the expedience of off-grid hybrid power supply were obtained for different regions of Estonia.

This paper presents a new method to automatically generate system protection schemes in real-time, where contingencies are filtered using a method providing N - 1 system snapshots. With future power systems consisting largely of renewable distributed generation with time-varying production, highly fluctuating conditions throughout the day will be the result. This makes off-line design of extensive defense plans for power systems infeasible, forming the motivation for the presented method. It relies on the real-time identification of which disturbances that threatens a power systems integrity. The method is based on a recently proposed method of calculating post-contingency Thevenin equivalents, which are used to assess the security of the post-contingency condition. The contingencies that violate the emergency limits are contained by pre-determining event-based remedial actions. The instability mechanisms threatening the system are individually treated, such that appropriate controls are allocated. The procedure is illustrated through a case study using the Nordic32 benchmark system.

Known algorithms for parameter identification of design scheme based on the observability of the need to observe the conditions for the entire complex scheme. This paper presents an algorithm for determining the longitudinal conductivity of (active and inductive) equivalent circuit of network using synchronized vector measurements. Applying power balance formula for a single node in a complex form, calculation of conductivities is made when presenting power lines in the form of U-shaped design scheme. The proposed algorithm is constructed of two equations for each branch adjacent to the considered node without the use of a series of calculations. The correctness of the proposed algorithm implemented for the transit circuit 500 kV of the National power grid.

The paper considers the implementation of an off-grid hybrid power supply as an alternative to the construction of a conventional power supply lines in sparsely populated remote areas in Estonia. In the first part of the paper, the economical study of off-grid hybrid systems was conducted at different typical geographical conditions including coastal and inland ones. The load demand and interest rate were the parameters for sensitivity analysis. The configuration of the studied systems could include photovoltaics, wind turbines, a diesel generator, and batteries. The components were sized through optimization procedures. The levelized costs of energy were calculated for the considered cases.

A novel head and pressure predictive control approach is offered for the centrifugal multi-pump stations equipped with variable speed drives and programmable logical controllers. The pre-defined tabularized data are used where the efficiency estimates for different number of pumps operated at various speeds are collected. Thanks to accounting the motor drive power losses, maximal system efficiency is obtained as the main outcome without equipment oversizing. The total head and pressure management strategy is proposed basing on both the analytical performance characteristics and the experimental efficiency distribution diagrams of a multi-pump station. Using this efficiency distribution, the efficiency map is proposed where the optimal numbers of pumps are recorded aiming to maintain the system performance in one of the best efficiency regions. An appropriate control algorithm is described. Finally, some experimental results validated the new control methodology are discussed.

The paper presents results of Latvian distribution system operator Sadales tikls AS (ST), Riga Technical University (RTU) and Latvian transmission system operator Augstsprieguma tikls AS (AS) joint research to determine the maximum permissible loading level of five ST most used 10 kV and 20 kV cable types and development of MV cable loading control methodology which includes development of maximum achievable cable conductor temperature prediction model for n - 1 conditions (broken one MV network element). At AS laboratory five most used ST MV cable type samples were protractedly loaded at a special test bed to simulate most critical ambient environment conditions of operating cables from the heating point of view with currents from 0.3 In to 1.1 In to imitate normal and n - 1 conditions in the electrical network. Experimentally gained temperature measurement data was used to develop mathematical models for MV cable sheath and conductor temperature prediction in dependence of load current, loading duration and different ambient environment (air, spray foam, soil).

Due to inertia-less feature of inverters, microgrids with high penetration rate of inverter-interfaced distributed generators (DGs) usually suffer from power quality issues such as poor dynamic frequency stability. A promising solution of this issue is to apply virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control concept to inverter-interfaced DGs. In this paper, it is shown that compared to previous microgrid control scheme, e.g. conventional droop control, VSG control can improve microgrid frequency stability during loading transitions and fault events. This conclusion is demonstrated by theoretical time domain response of DG frequency obtained through small-signal analyses, and is verified by simulations performed in PSCAD/EMTDC.

The presented paper describes the generalized mathematical model for the real-time assessment of contributions of disturbing sources (DSs) to voltage unbalance and slow voltage variation at a Point of Common Coupling (PCC). This model is intended to be the basis for a distributed and time-synchronized PQ measuring system. The model was developed on the basis of the node voltage method by using phasors of actual state parameter. DSs are assumed to be randomly distributed throughout the considering network. The simulation verification has demonstrated adequate results.
