  ABSTRACT: While traditional engineering applications have been used to address power quality, voltage, and various other issues within the distribution system, the presentation of these results normally has been within an engineering audience. However, today's engineer often needs to perform reliability studies and present the results to a much wider audience, including utility executives, managers, customer support, utility commissions, and even energy customers. As a result, reliability studies can become extremely important and often influence business decisions. This article addresses the challenges of results presentation to this larger audience, as well as preparation of the data required for a comprehensive study that will satisfy audience expectations

  Article: Managing MV networks for quality of service

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: In today's deregulated marketplace, simply delivering power to customers is no longer sufficient; utilities must provide a certain level of quality of service and must deliver the commodity safely, reliably, and cost-effectively. Moreover, information traditionally used only within a given utility is now desired by many players, since the integration, consolidation, and dissemination of information both inter- and intra-utility has become a critical part of the deregulation picture. Exponential advances in hardware, software, and communication equipment allow the transportation, storing, and manipulation of vast quantities of data at blinding speed relative to just a few years ago. As a result, utilities have shifted their focus to information technology and automation to optimize operations and improve the bottom line. This article proposes a global approach for the management and control of medium-voltage (MV) networks. The efficiency of this approach is analyzed in terms of quality of service, optimization of investment, optimization of installation, maintenance, and simplification of operation

• Article: PCB Rogowski coils benefit relay protection

  L. Kojovic
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Innovative Rogowski coils enable the design of advanced protection systems when used with new multifunction relays and fiberoptic communication. The protection systems have faster response times to faults and can easily adjust to load and/or power system configuration changes. Since the new Rogowski coils are very accurate and do not saturate, protection levels can be set to lower fault current thresholds, reducing the stress on the protected equipment. The whole system is immune to external magnetic fields and has self-testing logic. No wiring is necessary

  Article: Shipboard power restored for active duty

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Network reconfiguration for restoration in a military shipboard power system is a very important task that is performed in order to restore loads as a result of battle damage or system faults. This article features an expert-system-based reconfiguration methodology for load restoration in shipboard power systems. The power system considered in the present study is based on the layout profile of a US surface combatant ship. The methodology developed will determine whether the loads that lost supply are restorable. When considering loads, it gives precedence to high priority loads. It also determines if there is any violation of current constraints of any cables and voltage constraints at load nodes. If the load is restorable, as suggested by an expert system, and there is no violation of any constraints, then the load is said to be restorable and the operation sequence required in restoring that load would be given as the output. A CAD drawing of the power system and a database of the system information has been developed using a geographic information system (GIS). A software tool incorporating failure assessment and expert system restoration methodology was developed using Visual C++, Multilogic Exsys Developer, Alternate Transients Program (ATP), and Microsoft Access. Microstation has been used for GIS. Various fault cases were designed, and the developed tool was used to run them and perform expert system restoration

• Article: Future trends in power system control

  B. Fardanesh
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: To buy time for online computations needed for central coordination and to attain wider-area objectives for optimum operation, one has had to resort to decomposition and, therefore, multilevel hierarchical control schemes. This article looks into the future state of power system operations and control based on a number of assumptions and provides an analysis of the direction that this area might take over the next 25 years. Issues related to development of techniques and requirements for fully coordinated, high-bandwidth, and robust controls for power systems are discussed, and some methodologies are suggested. Proceeding toward this ultimate goal, system-wide automatic voltage control (SAVC), system-wide automatic power control (SAPC), and the integrated system-wide automatic control (SAC) concepts are introduced for coordination of injection (shunt) and routing (series) controllers for both real and reactive power

• Article: ANN approach assesses system security

  ABSTRACT: Large interconnected power systems with dispersed and geographically isolated generators and load constitute a majority of the power network. Present-day power systems are dynamic in nature, where the network topology frequently changes with load demand. With increase in load, the power system network is loaded to its limits, making it susceptible to collapse even under minor disturbances. In order to operate the power system economically, the current operating state of the system must be identified as either secure or insecure. An artificial neural network (ANN) aided method for security assessment is proposed and illustrated for a model six-bus power system. The work demonstrates the feasibility of classification of load patterns for power system static security assessment using a Kohonen self-organizing feature map. The most important aspect of this network is its generalization property. Using 15 different line-loading patterns for training, the network successfully classifies the unknown loading patterns. This powerful and versatile feature is especially useful for power system operation. Research is in progress to include contingency analysis in the security assessment program

• Article: Integrated ANN approach to forecast load

  K.S. Swarup, B. Satish
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: The demand for electricity is known to vary by the time of the day, week, month, temperature, and usage habits of the consumers. Though usage habit is not directly observable, it may be implied in the patterns of usage that have occurred in the past. A short-term load-forecasting (STLF) program that uses an integrated artificial neural network (ANN) approach is capable of predicting load for basic generation scheduling functions, assessing power system security, and providing timely dispatcher information. How well training data is chosen in an ANN is the defining factor in how well the network's output will match the event being modeled.

  ABSTRACT: The power crisis in California from the summer of 2000 to the spring of 2001 caused great interest and concern in the power industry about deregulation and liberalization of the wholesale power market. In response to this interest, EPRI has developed a prototype computer simulation model to study alternative wholesale power market structures. The results were presented at a workshop organized jointly by the California Energy Commission and EPRI on 7 November 2001 in Sacramento, California. This article is based on that presentation and represents work in progress. There are four objectives of developing and applying the EPRI Long Term Power Market Simulation Model (LTPMS): improve the understanding of how a competitive power market works in the long term; study the potential price volatility and boom-bust cycles of the power market; study alternative market designs and the role of a power authority to complement the market; and compare the long-term impacts of various market structures on the end-users and society

  ABSTRACT: Beyond price, large energy consumers are increasingly demanding higher value for their energy investment. For many businesses, especially those that are part of the burgeoning digital economy, this includes an expectation of energy delivered at higher levels of quality and reliability. These factors are driving enterprises on both the supply and demand side of energy to seek better strategies to manage the cost and quality of the energy product and the energy assets that produce, deliver, control, and consume it. However, to achieve this, all enterprises face three very large and fundamental challenges, which are the needs to: support the economic and efficient delivery, purchasing, and use of energy, guarantee higher levels of power quality and reliability the grid cannot currently deliver Supply the increasing demand for energy while establishing a market-based pricing system. The key to addressing all of these challenges is an Internet-enabled enterprise energy management (EEM) system that delivers real-time information and control through an efficient, economical, and scalable architecture
