The probabilistic reliability assessment of large power systems is a very complicated and computation intensive task. So the standards of reliability be specified and used in all three sectors of the power system, i.e. generation, transmission and distribution. Since the forced outage rates (FOR) of generating plants is actually uncertain, security and reliability are two important challenges in modern...
Recent studies have shown that dynamic removal of transmission lines from operation ("Transmission Switching") can reduce costs associated with power system operation. Smart Grid systems introduce flexibility into the transmission network topology and enable co-optimization of generation and network topology. The optimal transmission switching (OTS) problem has been posed in on small test...
This paper proposes to evaluate reliability performances at operating stage for power systems with variable wind generation. This is a first step towards recognizing the stronger coupling of power system decision making across different time-scales. In the day-ahead energy-reserve co-optimization unit commitment model, the validity of using operating reserve as an approximation of long-term reliability...
Article 708 was added to the NEC based on needs expressed by the federal government for standards that could strengthen homeland security. Article 708 was directed by the NEC's Technical Correlating Committee Task Group on Emergency and Standby Power Systems for Homeland Security and created by Code-Making Panel 20. Historically, the NEC has been primarily focused on the installation of electrical...
In this paper to determine the reliable operation of main characteristics of power plant №4's outdoor switchgear main scheme method is produced. Also the reliable operation of power plant №4's 110, 220 kV-s main scheme of element's are researched and the all variants of commutation in operation is make and reliability research is done. And characteristics of reliable operations are determined.
A microgrid is a section of a distribution system that can operate either in parallel with or in isolation from the network, in the case of partial or total disconnection of the interconnected power system. The operational flexibility of a microgrid reduces the vulnerability of the power system and also helps to avoid costly blackouts. In Colombia there is great potential for the creation of microgrids...
The size of the power system is growing exponentially due to heavy demand of power in all the sectors viz. agricultural, industrial, residential and commercial ones. Due to this chance of failure of individual units leading to practical or complete collapse of power supply is common to be encountered. Also a most successful power system is one which works with minimum interruptions. The reliability...
Wind park design is not a straightforward task because it involves many heterogeneous aspects to handle in integrated and systemic way. Historically, the reliability issue has often been neglected in favor of economic issue in power systems design. By following the modern tendency of the power system literature, the reliability constraints have to be satisfied a priori, for sake of power system security...
In this paper, we focus on the inefficiencies of current real-time balancing of power systems and propose an alternative solution. Our approach is based on the introduction of double-sided markets for the provision of secondary control and a market-based provision of primary control. We propose ancillary service (AS) markets for the provision of operating reserves, such that in real-time an optimal...
This paper presents the method to evaluate the reliability and interrupted energy rate for the high reliable electrical system. The evaluated system is the petrochemical plant system designed based on Tier classification that is a criterion to address a reliability level of electrical and mechanical infrastructure of the data center. This paper modifies the system to the different infrastructure for...
This application track paper describes the network-based distributed control technology that is applied to practical microgrid application. The paper is dealing with network-based remote sensors, central calculation of control offset signals, and the remote control of distributed generation resources. Through the dynamic modeling and experimental test results, characteristics of the proposed control...
This paper shares the results of a recent major industry-supported research and development study in which a novel framework was developed and applied for assessment of reliability and quality levels in real-life practical power systems. The approach is based on three metaphors (dimensions) representing the relationship between available generation capacities and required demand levels. The paper...
With increasing wind power penetration in many power systems, the requirement of spinning reserve is becoming an important issue, which is directly related to the reliability and economy of the system. To analysis it, there are many uncertainties, such as load forecast error, wind forecast error and generator outage rate, which relate system reserve level to the reliability of it. In this paper, a...
The rising share of renewable energies within the generation mix has reduced the load factor of actual CCGT power plants. In this way, a more flexible operation of this technology with an increased number of annual start-up cycles is needed. Since CCGT design assumed a base load operation at nominal power with a few number of annual start cycles, plant owners have to face higher maintenance costs,...
The R&M performance of a system is usually measured in terms of its Reliability (Ro), Availability (Ao), and Maintainability (MTTR and DMC) During the design phase of a system, several choices need to be made, such as number of redundant modules required to achieve a desired performance level (Reliability, Availability etc.), the system configuration or architecture, performance specifications...
Security and reliability are two important challenges in restructured power networks. Because of different loss of load probability in different buses, it is fair to change the prices customers pay, regarding their loss of load probability (LOLP). Various factors are used in Power systems to calculate reliability. In this paper, using network graph and concept of common, first we calculate LOLP factor...
Much of the North American experience with the operation of renewable generation technologies started with the use of small wind farms that were located in very limited geographic areas and used basic turbines technologies. In addition, many of the renewable generators that went into service did not have the contractual obligations or financial incentives and were not under the necessary operational...
In this paper we propose a Coordinated Voltage Control-Enabled HV Smart Grid framework (CVC, in short) for utilizing voltage-controllable equipment in support of enhanced reliable and efficient operations. In the first part of the paper we present the basic problem formulation underlying CVC. This is followed by assessing the effects of performance objectives selected, the type of controllable equipment...
This paper describes intelligent ways in which distributed generation and local loads can be controlled during large system disturbances, using Local Power Controllers. When distributed generation is available, and a system disturbance is detected early enough, the generation can be dispatched, and its output power can be matched as closely as possible to local microgrid demand levels. Priority-based...
The main objective of this paper is to develop software model for reliability analysis using Availability Based Tariff (ABT) method for state grids to maintain the reliability and quality of the power system. For maintaining the grid discipline Availability Based Tariff (ABT) method has been followed. It is the frequency linked tariff system. ABT has three part tariff system such as fixed charge,...
