ON THE ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF RISK IN WIND FARM DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSJorge Martinez

Assessing and managing the risk associated with the performance of the distribution network of renewable energy projects by the exclusive means of probabilistic methods could lead to suboptimal decisions and significant risk exposure. Such probabilistic methods include, for example, those employed in the calculation of classical availability/reliability related performance indicators (such as SAIDI and SAIFI). This situation may be particularly crucial when predicting the availability of the distribution system associated with the Electrical Balance of Plant (EBoP) of wind farms. The concepts and results associated with a real-case system presented in this paper point out that risk assessments for distribution networks of renewable generation (using indicators such as Guaranteed Network Availability or calculations of Expected Generated Energy not Transferred onto the Grid, EGENT) could be underestimated when probabilistic methods that are more suitable to large-scale power system, are applied on the " small scale " distribution and grid access systems of wind farms.

2007

In order to assess the performance of distribution system under normal operating conditions with large integration of renewable energy based dispersed generation (DG) units, probabilistic modeling of the distribution system is necessary in order to take into consideration the stochastic behavior of load demands and DG units such as wind generation and combined heat and power plant generation. This paper classifies probabilistic models of load demands and DG units into summer and winter period, weekday and weekend as well as in 24 hours a day. The voltage results from the probabilistic load flow based on Monte Carlo method and those from the statistical measurement data are compared. Simulation results from the probabilistic model show good agreement with those from the statistical measurement data.

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2000

Combined Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) and market-based optimal power flow (OPF) considering different combinations of wind generation and load demand over a year are used to evaluate wind turbines (WTs) integration into distribution systems. MCS is used to model the uncertainties related to the stochastic variations of wind power generation and load demand while the social welfare is maximized by means of market-based OPF with inter-temporal constraints. The proposed probabilistic methodology allows evaluating the amount of wind power that can be injected into the grid as well as the impact of wind power penetration on the social welfare and on distribution-locational marginal prices. Market-based OPF is solved by using step-controlled primal dual interior point method considering network constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed probabilistic method in assessing the impact of wind generation penetration in terms of both technical and economic effects is demonstrated with an 84-bus 11.4-kV radial distribution system.

European Journal of Science and Technology, 2022

The energy loss minimization problem is increasingly gaining prominence as a result of widespread integration of renewable energy sources into the power systems. Thus, the optimal planning of power system is required to handle the technical issues due to the uncertainties in load demands and the intermittent characteristics in photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) systems. In this paper, the impacts of various uncertainty scenarios have been considered while mitigating the total energy losses in the power network, where PV and WT systems are installed. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has been implemented to determine the optimal values of control variables while taking into account the power system technical constraints. The influences of different uncertainty scenarios have been considered while alleviating total energy losses in the implementation of planning.

Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 2014

The paper proposes the methodology for the assessment of impact that wind distributed generation can have on distribution network. Effects of active power losses, voltage drops, and voltage total harmonic distortion are considered. The methodology uses fuzzy logic in order to address uncertainties in wind energy generation, as well as artificial neural networks for wind speed assessment. Measurement data of temperature, irradiation, and wind direction at different wind turbine hub heights are used. The predicted wind speed, active power loss variation, and elasticity of power quality constraints are presented in a form of fuzzy numbers. The proposed methodology is tested on realistic, 28-bus 35 kV voltage distribution system in the Banat region in Serbia. A steady-state voltage stability index is applied to select wind distribution generation locations. It is shown that wind distributed generation can improve voltage regulation and reduce active power losses. However, increase in vo...

2012

Power flow studies use computational tools for the planning and operation of electrical power systems purposes. The deterministic model is the most commonly used load flow approach. In this model, the input data and the results are crisp values. Therefore, to account for uncertainties, the most common approach used is the definition of scenarios, which are characterized by crisp values. This is an impractical way to solve the problem of the uncertainty in the data. A more practical way to lead with the uncertainties is the use of probabilistic power flows. On such approach, the uncertainties are modelled through the use of probability density functions (pdf). However, that approach may be inappropriate, namely when there is no available historical data in order to construct the pdf. On such cases, the fuzzy power flows (FPF) is an interesting alternative. In this paper, a methodology named Symmetric Fuzzy Power Flow is used. That methodology uses optimization models to solve power f...

Electric Power Systems Research, 2011

This paper proposes a methodology for stochastic power flow in a distribution line with dispersed photovoltaic (PV) penetration. Both load and PV generation are stochastic processes. The methodology uses a probabilistic model for load demand based on measured data and an extensive stochastic modeling of PV units' power production based on historical meteorological data and commercial available PV panels. Annual power flow simulations are performed to evaluate loss reduction resulting for different penetration levels and siting strategies of PV into an urban radial distribution feeder. Finally, a cost index for the losses is defined taking into account System Marginal Price data. Results may be of interest for dimensioning, siting and cost allocation in distribution systems with dispersed generation.

2009

This paper presents a methodology for reliability evaluation of distribution systems with the presence of distributed generation (DG) based on different energy sources. The methodology considers the possibility of DG connection at the High Voltage (HV) and Medium Voltage (MV) buses of the distribution substation, as well as along the MV distribution network. The uncertainty of energy availability of time varying energy sources, such as the wind generation, and the chronological variation of the loads are included in the methodology. The network representation includes the main protection and reconfiguration devices, such as breakers, manual switches, automatic sectionalizers, reclosers and fuses. Some operative polices in relation to DG, such as islanded operation and protection schemes for network failures, as well as load shedding prioritization and load transfer between feeders, are analyzed.

2024

Background and Objectives: Distributed generations (DGs) based on renewable energy, such as PV units, are becoming more prevalent in distribution networks due to technical and environmental benefits. However, the intermittency and uncertainty of these sources lead to technical and operational challenges. Energy storage application, uncertainty analysis, and network reconfiguration are apt therapies to resist these challenges. Methods: Energy management of modern, smart, and renewable-penetrated distribution networks is tailored here considering the uncertainties correlations. Network operation costs including switching operations, the expected energy not served (EENS) index as the reliability objective, and the node voltage deviation suppression as the technical objective are mathematically modeled. Multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is considered as the optimization engine. Scenario generation method and Nataf transformation are used in probabilistic evaluations of the problem. Moreover, the technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is deployed to make a final balance between different objectives to yield a unified solution. Results: To show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, the IEEE 33-node distribution network is put under extensive simulations. Different cases are simulated and interrogated to assess the performance of the proposed model. Conclusion: For different objectives dealing with different aspects of the network, remarkable achievements are attained. In brief, the final solution shows 4.50% decrease in operation cost, 13.07% improvement in reliability index, and 18.85% reduction in voltage deviation compared to the initial conditions.

Possibilistic-scenario model for dg impact assessment on distribution networks in an uncertain environmentAlireza Soroudi

The Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) are responsible for securing a diverse and viable energy supply for their customers so the technical and economical impacts of distributed generation (DG) units are of great concerns. Traditionally, the DNOs try to maximize the technical performance of the distribution network but it is evident that the first step in optimizing a quantity is being able to calculate it. The DG investment/operation which is performed by Distributed Generation Operators/Owners (DGOs) (under unbundling rules) has made this task more complicated. This is mainly because the DNO is faced with the uncertainties related to the decisions of DG investors/operators where some of them can be probabilistically modeled while the others are possibilistically treated. This paper proposes a hybrid possibilistic-probabilistic DG impact assessment tool which takes into account the uncertainties associated with investment and operation of renewable and conventional DG units on distribution networks. This tool would be useful for DNOs to deal with the uncertainties which some of them can be modeled probabilistically and some of them are described possibilistically. The proposed method has been tested on a test system and also a large scale real distribution network to demonstrate its strength and flexibility.

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2011

In deregulated power systems, the distribution network operator (DNO) is not responsible for investment in Distributed Generation (DG) units and they are just concerned about the best architecture ensuring a good service quality to their customers. The investment and operating decisions related to DG units are then taken by entities other than DNO which are exposed to uncertainty. The DNO should be able to evaluate the technical effects of these uncertain decisions. This paper proposes a fuzzy evaluation tool for analyzing the effect of investment and operation of DG units on active losses and the ability of distribution network in load supply at presence of uncertainties. The considered uncertainties are related to load values, installed capacity and operating schedule of DG units. The proposed model is applied on a test system and also a real French urban network in order to demonstrate its functionality in evaluating the distribution expansion options.

Distribution power networks are accommodating more and more generation and most of them are based on renewable sources, like wind power. Then, this new generation, generally known as distributed generation (DG), has a stochastic power production that affects technically the network in different ways. However, availability and power quality must be kept within standard limits. Deterministic approach can not cope with this issue and a probabilistic assessment is needed. Wind power has a high level of integration around the world. Then, its impact of voltage profile in a distribution network is analyzed.

Sustainability

Renewable energy-based distributed generators are widely embedded into distribution systems for several economical, technical, and environmental tasks. The main concern related to the renewable-based distributed generators, especially photovoltaic and wind turbine generators, is the continuous variations in their output powers due to variations in solar irradiance and wind speed, which leads to uncertainties in the power system. Therefore, the uncertainties of these resources should be considered for feasible planning. The main innovation of this paper is that it proposes an efficient stochastic framework for the optimal planning of distribution systems with optimal inclusion of renewable-based distributed generators, considering the uncertainties of load demands and the output powers of the distributed generators. The proposed stochastic framework depends upon the scenario-based method for modeling the uncertainties in distribution systems. In this framework, a multi-objective func...

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2014

As energy resource planning associated with environmental consideration are getting more and more challenging all around the world, the penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) mainly those harvesting renewable energies (REs) ascend with an unprecedented rate. This fact causes new uncertainties to the power system context; ergo, the uncertainty analysis of the system performance seems necessary. In general, uncertainties in any engineering system study can be represented probabilistically or possibilistically. When sufficient historical data of the system variables is not available, a probability density function (PDF) might not be defined, while they must be represented in another manner i.e. possibilistically. When some of system uncertain variables are probabilistic and some are possibilistic, neither the conventional pure probabilistic nor pure possibilistic methods can be implemented. Hence, a combined solution methodology is needed. This paper proposes a new analytical probabilistic-possibilistic tool for the power flow uncertainty assessment. The proposed methodology is based upon the evidence theory and joint propagation of possibilistic and probabilistic uncertainties. This possibilistic-probabilistic formulation is solved in an uncertain power flow (UPF) study problem.

2008 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition: Latin America, 2008

Prioritizing short-term investments and risk assessment have become a necessity for utilities due to the new regulatory frameworks based on performance and the uncertainties in the planning parameters. In this paper a probabilistic methodology is proposed in order to take into account these uncertainties. First, a software is used to generate aleatory scenarios and subsequently both the system performance evaluation and economic evaluation are calculated. These evaluations are applied to different short-term investment alternatives that compete to improve the distribution network. Then, an investment hierarchy is achieved using a statistical analysis. A numerical example is given to illustrate the applications and results. Additionally, a comparison with a fuzzy methodology previously proposed in other papers by the authors is also presented.

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 1999

In Denmark many independent power producers such as windmills and small gas-or oil fuelled combined heat and power plants (below 50 MW) have been set up in the last few years. Further, the larger power plants in Denmark are combined power plants with heat production to district heating. Understanding of this complex uti:ity system with regard to cost and reliability are to be examined by a probabilistic network planning program, which can take into account all these specialities for the Danish network and include probabilistic models for the load and for the transmission system as well. Such a program have been set up with stochastic models of the windmills, the loiids, the small combined heat and power plants and the heat production from the larger power plants. The models are used on a realistic network grid, and Monte-Carlo simulations are used in the final simulation program. Stochastic models for power production on central power plants caused by district heat production demands. Unit commitment for the central power plants. N-1 calculations on the utility system. Stochastic models of windmill power production referred to transmission level. Stochastic models of power production from small combined gas-or oil fuelled power plants (below 50 MW) referred to transmission level. Stochastic models of loads referred to transmission level. Models for HVDC-interconnection lines. Routines for redispatch for system overload relief. Calculation of power deficiencies or overproduction. In Denmark the locked-up power production from the tion from windmills can lead to a larger production of power than demanded. In Denmark the windmills are not stopped in Kcywords: Stochastic models, probabilistic network planning, plants, stochastic load curves.

2013

This paper provides a probabilistic method to assess the impact of wind turbines (WTs) integration into distribution networks within a market environment. Combined Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique and market-based optimal power flow (OPF) are used to maximize the social welfare by integrating demand side management (DSM) scheme considering different combinations of wind generation and load demand over a year. MCS is used to model the uncertainties related to the stochastic variations of wind power generation and load demand. The market-based OPF is solved by using step-controlled primal dual interior point method considering network constraints. The method is conceived for distribution network operators (DNOs) in order to evaluate the effect of WTs integration into the network. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with an 84-bus 11.4 kV radial distribution system.
