It is shown and proved that the errors in energy measurements depend on the design and the algorithms used in electricity meters. There are three main types of metering devises having different principles: inductive (electro-mechanical), elec-tronic static, and digital electronic (microprocessor). Each of these types has its measuring features. Some devices take into account all the harmonic distortions and the constant component which occur in the network while others measure the power and energy values of the fundamental harmonic only. Such traits lead to the discrepancies in the readings of commercial electric energy meters of different types. Hence, the violations in the measurement system unity occur, and a significant error can be observed in the balance of transmitted/consumed electric energy.展开更多

The integrated system can improve the voltage stability of the utility grid and achieve power leveling. The control schemes employ model predictive control (MPC), which has gained significant attention in recent years because of its advantages such as fast response and simple implementation. The PV system provides maximum power at various irradiation levels using the incremental conductance technique (INC). The interfaced grid side converter of the SMES can control the grid voltage by regulating its injected reactive power to the grid, while the charge and discharge operation of the SMES coil can be managed by the system operator to inject/absorb active power to/from the grid to achieve the power leveling strategy. Simulation results based on MATLAB/Simulink® software prove the fast response of the system control objectives in tracking the setpoints at different loading scenarios and PV irradiance levels, while the SMES injects/absorbs active and reactive power to/from the grid during various events to improve the voltage response and achieve power leveling strategy.展开更多

Simulation results based on MATLAB/Simulink® software prove the fast response of the system control objectives in tracking the setpoints at different loading scenarios and PV irradiance levels, while the SMES injects/absorbs active and reactive power to/from the grid during various events to improve the voltage response and achieve power leveling strategy.
文摘Non-pressurised air is extensively used as basic insulation medium in high-voltage equipment.Unfortunately,an inherent property of air-insulated design is that the system tends to become physically large.On the other hand,the application of dielectric barriers can increase the breakdown voltage and therefore decrease the size of the equipment.In this study,the impact of dielectric barriers on breakdown voltage enhancement is investigated under both direct current(dc)and alternating current(ac)applied voltages.For this purpose,three kinds of dielectric barriers in two different high-voltage electrode structures are investigated.In the first structure,several experiments are carried out with four different electrode arrangements,keeping the inter-electrode gap constant while varying the position of the dielectric barrier between the electrodes.In the second structure,the inter-electrode gap is varied while the high-voltage electrode is covered with dielectric materials.The influences of different parameters such as inter-electrode spacing,electric field non-uniformity factor,and dielectric materials on the breakdown voltage are investigated for applied 50 Hz ac and dc voltages.In addition,a simulation model to approximately calculate the breakdown voltage is proposed and validated with the experimental results.
文摘In an active distribution grid,renewable energy sources(RESs)such as photovoltaic(PV)and energy storage systems(e.g.,superconducting magnetic energy storage(SMES))can be combined with consumers to compose a microgrid(MG).The high penetration of PV causes high fluctuations of tie-line power flow and highly affects power system operations.This can lead to several technical problems such as voltage fluctuations and excessive power losses.In this paper,a fuzzy logic control based SMES method(FSM)and an optimized fuzzy logic control based SMES method(OFSM)are proposed for minimizing the tie-line power flow.Consequently,the fluctuations and transmission power losses are decreased.In FSM,SMES is used with a robust fuzzy logic controller(FLC)for controlling the tie-line power flow.An optimization model is employed in OFSM to simultaneously optimize the input parameters of the FLC and the reactive power of the voltage source converter(VSC)of SMES.The objective function of minimizing the tieline power flow is incorporated into the optimization model.Particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm is utilized to solve the optimization problem while the constraints of the utility power grid,VSC,and SMES are considered.The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methods.

文摘Unlocking offshore wind farms’high energy generation potential requires a comprehensive multi-disciplinary analysis that consists of intensive technical,economic,logistical,and environmental investigations.Offshore wind energy projects have high investment volumes that make it essential to conduct extensive site selection to ensure feasible investment decisions that reduce the potential financial risks.Depending on the scenario and circumstances,a ranking of alternative offshore wind energy projects helps to prioritise the investment decisions.Decisionmaking algorithms based on expert knowledge can support the prioritisation and thus alleviate the work load for investment decisions in the future.The case study considered here is to find the best site for a floating offshore wind farm in Norway from four pre-selected alternatives:Utsira Nord,Stadthavet,Froyabanken,and Trana Vest.We propose a hybrid decisionmaking model as a combined compromised solution(CoCoSo)based on the q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets(q-ROFSs)including the weighted q-rung orthopair fuzzy Hamacher average(Wq-ROFHA)and the weighted q-rung orthopair fuzzy Hamacher geometric mean(Wq-ROFHGM)operators.In this model,the q-ROFSs based full consistency method(FUCOM)is introduced as a new methodology to determine the weights of the decision criteria.The results of the proposed model show that the best site among the investigated four alternatives is A1:Utsira Nord.A sensitivity analysis has verified the stability of the proposed decision-making model.

文摘It is a well known fact that pulse width modulation(PWM)produces sideband effects.Taking this point into account,the accuracy of the grid-connected inverter model can be improved.In this paper,considering the aliasing effect of the PWM sideband components on the closed-loop control,a complete representation for the transfer function of the PWM is obtained.Furthermore,a multi-frequency model of grid-connected inverter system is derived.It is convenient for obtaining a PWM gain for grid-connected inverter system,which is PWM-controlled.In order to have an easy physical expression of the effects caused by the sideband components,an approximation is applied to simplify the PWM gain.The stability analysis is used to prove that PWM gain considering PWM effect is more precise than the conventional one.Experimental results verify the effectiveness of our proposal.

文摘The discussions on the development of an electricity market model for accommodating cross-border cooperation remains active in Europe.The main interest is the establishment of market couplings without curtailing the fair use of the scarce transmission capacity.However,it is difficult to gain mutual consensus on this subject because of the absence of convincing simulation results for the entire region.To achieve that,researchers need a common grid model(CGM)which is a simplified representation of the detailed transmission model which comprises aggregated buses and transmission lines.A CGM should sufficiently represent the inter-area power flow characteristics.Generally,it is difficult to establish a standard CGM that represents the actual transmission network with a suf-ficient degree of exactness because it requires knowledge on the details of the transmission network,which are undisclosed.This paper addresses the issue and reviews the existing approaches in transmission network approximation,and their shortcomings.Then,it proposes a new approach called the adaptive CGM approximation(ACA)for serving the purpose.The ACA is a datadriven approach,developed based on the direct current power flow theory.It is able to construct a CGM based on the published power flow data between the inter-connected market areas.This is done by solving the issue as a non-linear model fitting problem.The method is validated using three case studies.
