Abstract A distributed generation network could be a hybrid power system that includes wind–diesel power generation based on induction generators (IGs) and synchronous generators (SGs). The main advantage of these systems is the possibility of using renewable energy in their structures. The most important challenge is to design the voltage-control loop with the frequency-control loop to obtain optimal responses for voltage and frequency deviations. In this work, the voltage-control loop is designed by an automatic voltage regulator. A linear model of the hybrid system has also been developed with coordinated voltage and frequency control. Dynamic frequency response and voltage deviations are compared for different load disturbances and different reactive loads. The gains of the SG and the static volt-ampere reactive compensator (SVC) controllers in the IG terminal are calculated using the Black Widow Optimization (BWO) algorithm to insure low frequency and voltage deviations. The BWO optimization algorithm is one of the newest and most powerful optimization methods to have been introduced so far. The results showed that the BWO algorithm has a good speed in solving the proposed objective function. A 22% improvement in time adjustment was observed in the use of an optimal SVC. Also, an 18% improvement was observed in the transitory values.

Abstract Value based services are the new emerging area in Indian Electricity Market. Technically, such value added services in the electricity market are known as Ancillary Services. Voltage Control Ancillary Service (VCAS) deals with local level voltage control problem of power sector. According to IEEE standards 1159:1995, 1250:2011, only ±5% voltage variation is allowed with almost 0 deviations in frequency (±0.03% maximum variation limit) to interconnect any new generating plant with a grid. The utilization of squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG) as wind operated micro grid may be in a fix without adequate availability of reactive power. Besides SCIG, load changes also cause voltage varying problems and so, this paper investigates how load change can be coped up with fast acting reactive power compensator for such arrangements. To demonstrate this real time Simulink models for fixed capacitor and STATCOM are developed using MATLAB software. The SCIG starting and load change conditions are tested with fixed capacitor, six and 12 pulse STATCOM as reactive power compensators. The SCIG performances in terms of rotor speed, voltage, and frequency control characteristics during starting of the machine as well as at the time of load perturbation are compared.

Abstract Optimal placement of Distributed Generation (DG) is a crucial challenge for Distribution Companies (DISCO’s) to run the distribution network in good operating conditions. Optimal positioning of DG units is an optimization issue where maximization of DISCO’s additional benefit due to the installation of DG units in the network is considered to be an objective function. In this article, the self adaptive levy flight based black widow optimization algorithm is used as an optimization strategy to find the optimum position and size of the DG units. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the IEEE 15 and PG & E 69 bus management systems in the MATLAB environment. Based on the simulation performance, it has been found that with the correct location and size of the DG modules, the distribution network can be run with maximum DISCO’s additional benefit.

Operation Characteristics

The induction generators (IGs) are basic to wind energy conversion. They produce the active power and consume the reactive power, with the voltage characteristics fragile compared with that of the synchronous generators and doubly-fed IGs. In the stressed system states, they may intensify var imbalance, yielding undesirable operation of zone 3 impedance relays.In this paper, the operation characteristics of the zone 3 relays in the wind power systems is studied. With the theoretical and load flow analysis, it is proved that the equivalent impedance of the IGs lies in the 2nd quadrature, possibly seen as the backward faults by the mho relays, i.e. the apparent impedance enters into the protection region from the left side. The undesirable operation may be caused by more wind power, larger load, less var compensation, and larger torque angle.
