Abstract As the large-scale development of wind farms (WFs) progresses, the connection of WFs to the regional power grid is evolving from the conventional receiving power grid to the sending power grid with a high proportion of wind power (WP). Due to the randomness of WP output, higher requirements are put forward for the voltage stability of each node of the regional power grid, and various reactive power compensation devices (RPCDs) need to be rationally configured to meet the stable operation requirements of the system. This paper proposes an optimal configuration method for multi-type RPCDs in More >

Abstract Distribution generation (DG) technology based on a variety of renewable energy technologies has developed rapidly. A large number of multi-type DG are connected to the distribution network (DN), resulting in a decline in the stability of DN operation. It is urgent to find a method that can effectively connect multi-energy DG to DN. photovoltaic (PV), wind power generation (WPG), fuel cell (FC), and micro gas turbine (MGT) are considered in this paper. A multi-objective optimization model was established based on the life cycle cost (LCC) of DG, voltage quality, voltage fluctuation, system network loss, power… More >

Abstract The lack of reactive power in offshore wind farms will affect the voltage stability and power transmission quality of wind farms. To improve the voltage stability and reactive power economy of wind farms, the improved particle swarm optimization is used to optimize the reactive power planning in wind farms. First, the power flow of offshore wind farms is modeled, analyzed and calculated. To improve the global search ability and local optimization ability of particle swarm optimization, the improved particle swarm optimization adopts the adaptive inertia weight and asynchronous learning factor. Taking the minimum active power… More >

Abstract This paper presents a new optimization study of the placement and size of a photovoltaic source (PVS) in a distribution grid, based on annual records of meteorological parameters (irradiance, temperature). Based on the recorded data, the production output as well as the daily average power (24-h vector) of the PVS is extracted over the year. When a power vector is available, it can be used as an input when searching for the optimal size of the PVS. This allows to take into account the constraint of the variation of the power generated by this source More >

Abstract This paper presents a newly developed proximity indicator for voltage stability assessment which can be used to predict critical real system load and voltages at various load buses at critical loading point. The proximity indicator varies almost parabolic with total real load demand and reaches orthogonally to real load axis. This relation has been utilized to predict critical loading point. It has been shown that two operating points are needed for estimating critical point and proper selection of operating points and variation of proximity indicator near collapse point highly affect the accuracy of estimation.

Abstract In recent years, EVs (Electric Vehicles) with high environmental performance has been popularized. To realize a low-carbon and sustainable society, EVs are expected to play major roles, and it is essential to use renewable energy for their charging effectively. Interactions between the transportation network and the electric power system have not been considered so far. However, the interactions are supposed to occur via EVs, which will popularize in the near future. Most of the previous studies about EVs’ popularization focused on either the transportation or the electric power system, and no sufficient simulation model has… More >
