INVERTER-BASED DISTRIBUTED GENERATORS, MODELING AND CONTROL
In the last few years, electrical power generation is moving from a centralized generation towards distributed generation including on-site Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). In order to overcome RES related issues, as intermittent and fluctuating power, storage elements are included in the on-site generation system. The interaction between distributed generator (DG) units including RES, storage and front-end power converters should be carefully modeled in order to analyze the power system stability. An accurate modeling of DGs is required. In this thesis, a new modeling approach has been proposed for the inverter-based DGs based on the concept of electrostatic synchronous machines. Detailed …
A Multi-Port Approach to Solve Distribution Networks with Meshes and PV Nodes
2007
A new methodology based on the backward/forward (b/f) technique for the load flow solution in distribution systems is here proposed. The methodology takes efficiently into account the fixed voltage nodes and uses a reduced bus impedance matrix. In this way, it is possible to attain, for the unknowns at the PV nodes, the same values that are attainable solving the network with the methods adopted for transmission systems. With the same methodology it is possible to take into account also the meshes. If the network contains only meshes, the relevant model is linear and it is the one including the compensation currents. The presence of PV nodes introduces non linearity in the model and an iter…

Application to an italian distribution system of a multiobjective optimal Volt/VAR control strategy: improvements and management problems
2007
In this paper, the experiences and results deriving from the application of a multiobjective optimal management strategy to a distribution network supplying an area in province of Palermo, Italy, are presented. The adopted strategy allows, through the interventions on the Under Load Tap Changers (ULTC) of the primary substations and on tie-switches, to reduce power losses and improve the voltage profiles. To solve the optimization problem, an evolutionary approach has been adopted; it employs fuzzy logic for an adequate and simultaneous fulfilment of the different objectives. The application section presents a deep technical and economical analysis of the results attained, applying the opti…
Load modelling influence on voltage stability assessment in distribution systems. Part II: Extension to a complex radial system and applications
2006
The single-line equivalent model is commonly used for voltage stability studies in both distribution and transmission systems. Referring to a single-line system, in the companion paper [1] the authors presented the theoretical aspects of voltage stability related to the load characteristics. In particular, expressions of the stability index for constant power, constant impedance and constant current loads, singularly and in all the possible combinations have been obtained. This index indicates how far the load node is from its voltage collapse point, allowing the maximum load power beyond which voltage collapse takes place to be evaluated. In this paper a simple method to evaluate the param…

An improved method for determining voltage collapse proximity of radial distribution networks
2005
The two-bus equivalent model is commonly used for voltage stability studies in both distribution and transmission systems. The paper presents a simple method to evaluate, for each bus, the parameters which define the equivalent circuit of a radial distribution network. In particular, a straightforward way for determining the Thévenin equivalent impedance behind a load node is proposed, which allows to better identify the maximum loading point beyond which the voltage collapse takes place in the network. Simulation results show that the proposed method is significantly more accurate than other existing methods on evaluating the critical power at a particular node (i.e. the weak node of the n…
Voltage Collapse Proximity Assessment for Radial Distribution Networks
2005
The paper deals with voltage stability assessment in radial distribution networks. The voltage collapse proximity index already utilized in literature for power transmission systems is assumed. Based on the optimal impedance solution of a two-bus equivalent system, this index indicates how far the load nodes of the actual network are from their voltage collapse points, allowing the weak node and its maximum load power beyond which voltage collapse takes place to be identified. The proposed method differs from the other methods on the determination of the parameters which define the two-bus equivalent of the network, allowing to better identify the maximum loading point beyond which the volt…
