Abstract:
A method includes obtaining a voltage phasor, a current phasor and a mechanical rotor angle of a source end generator. A receiving end generator impedance and a line impedance between the source end generator and a receiving end generator is also estimated. Furthermore, a swing angle between an internal voltage of the source end generator and an internal voltage of the receiving end generator as a function of obtained voltage phasor, current phasor, mechanical rotor angle and the impedances is estimated. A power swing condition is then determined based on the estimated swing angle.
Abstract:
A method for short term load forecasting in a power grid includes obtaining historical data comprising power data, load data and weather data corresponding to time index data recorded from a location in a power distribution network of the power grid. The method further includes receiving power grid data comprising a plurality of power values, and a plurality of weather parameter values corresponding to a plurality of recent time instant values. The method also includes generating modified historical data using statistical techniques to rectify error conditions. The method further includes estimating one or more power values at a future time instant based on the modified historical data and the power grid data. The method also includes balancing load of the power distribution network based on the estimated one or more power values.
Abstract:
In accordance with one embodiment, a method for detection of power swing for at least a first range of swing angles between an internal voltage (ES) of a source-end generator and an internal voltage (ER) of a receiving-end generator is provided. The method includes obtaining a voltage magnitude (VS) of the source-end generator, and a current magnitude (IS) of the source-end generator. The method further includes estimating a total reactance (X) between the source-end generator and the receiving-end generator, and estimating a first swing angle (θ) between the ES and the ER as a function of the obtained VS, the obtained IS and the estimated X. The method further includes detecting a power swing condition based on the estimated θ.
Abstract:
A method for modelling load in a power grid is provided. The method includes obtaining measurement data from a measurement device in the power grid, identifying one or more voltage adjustment events in the power grid from the measurement data, and generating a load model based on one or more voltage factors computed using the one or more voltage adjustment events.
Abstract:
A current differential protection system for a multi-terminal power line includes a current sensor for sensing a current at a local terminal, a controller for time synchronizing the local terminal and remote terminals, and a fault detection module to detect a fault in the multi-terminal power line if a differential current exceeds a threshold value. The controller includes a time measurement exchange module for exchanging time stamp data with remote terminals, an upper range clock for exchanging time stamp data with remote terminals and a lower range clock for indexing the current at the local terminal. A first time period of the upper range clock is N times a second time period of the lower range clock where N is a number of multi-terminals. The controller includes a clock offset calculation module for determining an average time offset based on time stamp data from remote terminals and the local terminal.
