Sizing and Allocation of Distributed Energy Resources for Loss Reduction using Heuristic Algorithms
Authors: Ali Parsa Sirat, Hossein Mehdipourpicha, Niloofar Zendehdel, Hamid Mozafari
Abstract
Loss minimization in distribution networks (DN) is of great significance since the trend to the distributed generation (DG) requires the most efficient operating scenario possible for economic viability variations. Moreover, voltage instability in DNs is a critical phenomenon and can lead to a major blackout in the system. The decreasing voltage stability level restricts the increase of load served by distribution companies. DG can be used to improve DN capabilities and brings new opportunities to traditional DNs. However, installation of DG in non-optimal places can result in an increase in system losses, voltage problems, etc. In this paper, genetic algorithm (GA), harmony search algorithm (HSA) and improved HSA have been applied to determine the optimal location of DGs. Simulation results for an IEEE 33 bus network are compared for different algorithms, and the best algorithm is stated for minimum losses.

Optimal Power Flow Using Graph Neural NetworksDamian Owerko, Fernando Gama, Alejandro Ribeiro · 2019 · Systems and Control · AI summary available
Abstract
Optimal power flow (OPF) is one of the most important optimization problems in the energy industry. In its simplest form, OPF attempts to find the optimal power that the generators within the grid have to produce to satisfy a given demand. Optimality is measured with respect to the cost that each generator incurs in producing this power. The OPF problem is non-convex due to the sinusoidal nature of electrical generation and thus is difficult to solve. Using small angle approximations leads to a convex problem known as DC OPF, but this approximation is no longer valid when power grids are heavily loaded. Many approximate solutions have been since put forward, but these do not scale to large p…

Optimization Theory Based Deep Reinforcement Learning for Resource Allocation in Ultra-Reliable Wireless Networked Control SystemsHamida Qumber Ali, Amirhassan Babazadeh Darabi, Sinem Coleri · 2023 · Systems and Control · AI summary available
Abstract
The design of Wireless Networked Control System (WNCS) requires addressing critical interactions between control and communication systems with minimal complexity and communication overhead while providing ultra-high reliability. This paper introduces a novel optimization theory based deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for the joint design of controller and communication systems. The objective of minimum power consumption is targeted while satisfying the schedulability and rate constraints of the communication system in the finite blocklength regime and stability constraint of the control system. Decision variables include the sampling period in the control system, and blocklength a…

Electric Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand: Joint Optimization of Routing and Charging Infrastructure SitingFabio Paparella, Karni Chauhan, Theo Hofman et al. · 2022 · Systems and Control · AI summary available
Abstract
The advent of vehicle autonomy, connectivity and electric powertrains is expected to enable the deployment of Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand systems. Crucially, the routing and charging activities of these fleets are impacted by the design of the individual vehicles and the surrounding charging infrastructure which, in turn, should be designed to account for the intended fleet operation. This paper presents a modeling and optimization framework where we optimize the activities of the fleet jointly with the placement of the charging infrastructure. We adopt a mesoscopic planning perspective and devise a time-invariant model of the fleet activities in terms of routes and charging patterns, expl…

Dynamic Sizing of Frequency Control Ancillary Service Requirements for a Philippine GridElgar John S. del Rosario, Jordan Rel C. Orillaza · 2023 · Systems and Control · Not summarized yet
Abstract
Sizing frequency control ancillary service (FCAS) requirements is crucial for the reliable operation of power systems amid a continuous influx of variable renewable energy (VRE) generation. Reserve sizing is especially pertinent for the Philippine grids due to an expected transition to new FCAS classifications established by its Grid Code. In lieu of the existing deterministic formulation, this work proposes a dynamic approach for sizing secondary and tertiary reserves that accounts for the stochasticity and variability of load demand and VRE. We propose a method where historical power imbalances were calculated and clustered according to the time and day of week they occurred. The condition…

Identifying drivers and mitigators for congestion and redispatch in the German electric power system with explainable AIMaurizio Titz, Sebastian Pütz, Dirk Witthaut · 2023 · Systems and Control · AI summary available
Abstract
The transition to a sustainable energy supply challenges the operation of electric power systems in manifold ways. Transmission grid loads increase as wind and solar power are often installed far away from the consumers. In extreme cases, system operators must intervene via countertrading or redispatch to ensure grid stability. In this article, we provide a data-driven analysis of congestion in the German transmission grid. We develop an explainable machine learning model to predict the volume of redispatch and countertrade on an hourly basis. The model reveals factors that drive or mitigate grid congestion and quantifies their impact. We show that, as expected, wind power generation is the …

Dynamic Ancillary Services: From Grid Codes to Transfer Function-Based Converter ControlVerena Häberle, Linbin Huang, Xiuqiang He et al. · 2023 · Systems and Control · AI summary available
Abstract
Conventional grid-code specifications for dynamic ancillary services provision such as fast frequency and voltage regulation are typically defined by means of piece-wise linear step-response capability curves in the time domain. However, although the specification of such time-domain curves is straightforward, their practical implementation in a converter-based generation system is not immediate, and no customary methods have been developed yet. In this paper, we thus propose a systematic approach for the practical implementation of piece-wise linear time-domain curves to provide dynamic ancillary services by converter-based generation systems, while ensuring grid-code and device-level requi…

Hydraulic Parameter Estimation in District Heating NetworksFelix Agner, Pauline Kergus, Richard Pates et al. · 2022 · Systems and Control · AI summary available
Abstract
Using hydraulic models in control design in district heating networks can increase pumping efficiency and reduce sensitivity to hydraulic bottlenecks. These models are usually white-box, as they are obtained based on full knowledge of the district heating network and its parameters. This type of model is time-consuming to obtain, and might differ from the actual behavior of the system. In this paper, a method is proposed to obtain a grey-box hydraulic model for tree-shaped district heating systems: hydraulic parameters are estimated based on pressure measurements in only two locations. While previous works only estimate parameters related to pressure losses in pipes, this work also includes …

Abstract
In recent years, fuel cell/battery hybrid systems have attracted substantial attention due to their high energy density and low emissions. The online energy management system (EMS) is essential for these hybrid systems, tasked with controlling the energy flow and ensuring optimal system performance, encompassing fuel efficiency and mitigating fuel cell and battery degradation. This research proposes a novel approach to energy management for hybrid fuel cell/battery systems with multiple fuel cell stacks. It introduces an online EMS that employs Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP) to independently control each fuel cell stack in the hybrid system. The performance of this method is comp…
