Abstract This article presents a comparison between two different methods to perform model reduction of an Electrical Power System (EPS). The first is the well-known Kron Reduction Method (KRM) that is used to remove the interior nodes (also known as internal, passive, or load nodes) of an EPS. This method computes the Schur complement of the primitive admittance matrix of an EPS to obtain a reduced model that preserves the information of the system as seen from to the generation nodes. Since the primitive admittance matrix is equivalent to the Laplacian of a graph that represents the interconnections between the nodes of an EPS, this procedure is also significant from the perspective of graph theory. On the other hand, the second procedure based on Power Transfer Distribution Factors (PTDF) uses approximations of DC power flows to define regions to be reduced within the system. In this study, both techniques were applied to obtain reduced-order models of two test beds: a 14-node IEEE system and the Colombian power system (1116 buses), in order to test scalability. In analyzing the reduction of the test beds, the characteristics of each method were classified and compiled in order to know its advantages depending on the type of application. Finally, it was found that the PTDF technique is more robust in terms of the definition of power transfer in congestion zones, while the KRM method may be more accurate.

As part of an ongoing project on the stability of massively complex electrical power systems, we discuss the global geometric structure of contacts among the basins of attraction of a six-dimensional dynamical system. This system represents a simple model of an electrical power system involving three machines and an infinite bus. Apart from the possible occurrence of attractors representing pathological states, the contacts between the basins have a practical importance, from the point of view of the operation of a real electrical power system. With the aid of a global map of basins, one could hope to design an intervention strategy to boot the power system back into its normal state. Our method involves taking two-dimensional sections of the six-dimensional state space, and then determining the basins directly by numerical simulation from a dense grid of initial conditions. The relations among all the basins are given for a specific numerical example, that is, choosing particular values for the parameters in our model.

Many of disasters are related to electrical power systems. They affect human life and economy. In order to reduce the negative impacts caused by the failure of electricity power system due to disasters and to create a robust electrical power system, selecting the best relay of electricity power is a must. This study identified the best protective relay of electrical power systems of PLN in Surakarta region by applying analytic hierarchy process (AHP), one of MCDM approaches, combined with fuzzy logic. Extent analysis approach was implemented to derive priorities of various criteria, sub-criteria and alternatives. Three relays being considered in the selection process are electromagnetic relay, digital relay and static relay. Four criteria in this study are techno-economy, fault frequency, protection of transmission line and advantage of relay over others. Meanwhile, five sub-criteria for each criterion are reliability, selectivity, sensitivity, working speed and efficient. Based on the criteria and sub-criteria, it can be inferred that in terms of four working areas of PLN management in Surakarta region, digital relay is seen as the best choice of relays.

One of the key aspects in the development of power engineering all over the world is the use of distributed small-scale generation. This is both based on fuel carbon resources with a synchronized connection between sources when they are connected to the electric power grids and renewable energy sources operated in the electrical grid via frequency converters (electronic generation). The latter brings an inevitable broad use of inverters in available AC power systems. The objectives of this paper are numerous. First is the desire to study the effect of electronic generation on modes and stability of current electrical grids and electrical power systems. Another objective is to establish requirements for electronic generation control that lets us minimize actions on relay protection coordination and automation upon the integration of electronic generation in power grids. A final objective is to increase the reliability of general electrical modes. This article shows the outcomes of the study on the statical aperiodic stability of the electrical power system upon the integration of electronic generation, requirements for its statical characteristics, and the control when operated within the electrical power system.

The next generation of large surface combatants will feature a number of challenging hurdles with regards to performance, complexity and capability whilst being mindful of tomorrow’s fiscal pressures. Over the past two decades, new warship programmes have focussed on more complex, multi-role capabilities necessitating more adaptable mission and platform systems. With tomorrow’s vessels facing a service life between 35-50 years the selected power systems need to be sympathetic of today’s requirements as well as through life technology insertion for tomorrow’s needs. To facilitate this, a number of tomorrow’s warships are looking to adopt an all-electric architecture making use of developing energy storage technologies and more power dense prime movers. Whilst this in itself is no revelation, the impact that electric weapons and sensors have on an electrical power system, as well as the added costs incurred through provision of electrical margins, means it becomes imperative that design experience, lessons learnt, and evolving technologies are all considered during the concept design phase. Electrification of warships has been commonplace since the early 1990s and in-service experiences on platforms with Integrated Power Systems (IPS) are now informing the requirement set for their replacement vessels. The DDG1000 Destroyer as an example, at sea since 2013, has yielded some valuable insights in areas of design optimisation and resilience that can benefit future combatant types. These experiences and the proven products on board these vessels will be augmented by new technologies and configured as part of new architectures to service the new types of loads that accompany the deployment of high energy weapons and sensors. Meeting these demands in an affordable, efficient, resilient and reliable manner will be key to ensuring the future platform’s success and longevity. This paper aims to visit the key in-service experiences of today’s all electric ships whilst considering core aspects of future ‘second generation’ all electric ship design. This will include the need for power system ‘granularity’; investigating the building blocks of power generation that make up these complex systems, whilst analysing the maturity of their constituent parts and the enabling technologies that make these systems possible.

In the high voltage (HV) electrical power system, a variety of solid, liquid and gaseous materials are used for insulation purposes to protect incipient faults within the HV power equipment. Among these, solid insulation is widely used for high voltage equipment in high voltage power systems. Most insulation materials are not perfect in all respects and always contain some impurities. In high voltage (HV) electrical equipment, the quality of the insulation plays a very important role. Continued growth in the power system has provided the opportunity to protect equipment for healthy operation throughout its useful life.

In this paper, a new Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Logic controller (TS-FLC) is presented and applied for modeling and controlling the nonlinear power systems even in the presence of disturbances. Firstly, a nonlinear mathematical model for the electrical power system is presented with consideration of PSS and AVR controller. Then, a Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Logic controller is employed to control power system stability. Nevertheless, the study of the stability of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models will be difficult in the case where the number of nonlinearities is important. To cope with this problem, this study proposed a methodology to reduce the number of rules and to guarantee the global stability of the power system. The new model included only two rules. All the other nonlinearities were considered as uncertainties. In addition, a Parallel Distributed Compensation controller is designed using the Linear Matrix Inequalities constraints in order to guarantee system stability. Finally, this approach is applied on a Single Machine Infinite Bus affected by fault perturbation. To show the novelty of Takagi Sugeno’s method, we compared our approach to the Taylor linearization method. The numerical simulations prove the feasibility and performance of the proposed method.

This paper describes and uses an ant colony meta-heuristic optimization method to solve the redundancy optimization problem. This problem is known as total investment-cost minimization of series-parallel power system configuration. Redundant components are included to achieve a desired level of availability. System availability is represented by a multi-state availability function. The power systems components are characterized by their performance (capacity), availability and cost. These components are chosen among a list of products available on the market. The proposed meta-heuristic seeks to the best minimal cost power system configuration with desired availability. To estimate the series-parallel power system availability, a fast method based on universal moment generating function (UMGF) is suggested. The ant colony approach is used as an optimization technique. An example of electrical power system is presented.
