The Cost

From a practical point of view, no power system is free of losses. Power system losses, especially in distribution systems are usually high and result in increasing the cost of operations to the electric utilities and the price tag of electricity to the consumers. Aggregate Technical, Commercial and Collection (ATC&C) losses is a reliable parameter that reveals the true energy and revenue loss conditions of distribution systems. In this paper, mathematical models were developed for the determination of billing efficiency, collection efficiency, and ATC&C losses using Life Camp Area Office’s network of Abuja Electricity Distribution Company Plc Nigeria, as a case study. The average billing efficiency, collection efficiency and ATC&C losses for the period under review were found to be 89.73%,84.80%, and 23.79% respectively. An understanding of appraisal of these losses is important to the power system Engineers, energy policy makers, and the power firms as it enables areas of high losses in the network to be identified, which will give room for credible investment plans and subsequent monitoring of the losses.

This paper presents a new linear optimal power flow model for three-phase unbalanced electrical distribution systems considering binary variables. The proposed formulation is a mixed-integer linear programming problem, aiming at minimizing the operational costs of the network while guaranteeing operational constraints. Two new linearizations for branch current and nodal voltage magnitudes are introduced. The proposed branch current magnitude linearization provides a discretization of the Euclidean norm through a set of intersecting planes; while the bus voltage magnitude approximation uses a linear combination of the L1 and the L∞ norm. Results were obtained for an unbalanced distribution system, in order to assess the accuracy of the linear formulation when compared to a nonlinear power flow with fixed power injections, showing errors of less than 4\% for currents and 0.005\% for voltages.

Linear Load

A conventional electrical distribution system are not designs to deal with harmonics because at that time the linear load conquer the consumer demand. Over the years with growing use of nonlinear load such as personal computer can contribute to harmonics current occur on electrical distribution system. With the presence of harmonics current on electrical distribution system leads in degradation of system performance. Therefore necessary actions are needed in order to minimize harmonics effect. The predominant harmonics should be eliminated from electrical distribution system such as 5th and 7thof harmonics current component. The eliminating process is achieved by implementing the current phase shifting technique on new concept of modern electrical distribution system at Makmal Komputer 3, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UiTM Pulau Pinang.

This paper presents a generalized linear model based on LMI state-feedbackwith integral action, applicable to the control of Electric Energy Stora-ge Systems (EESS) such as Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage(SMES) and Supercapacitor Energy Storage (SCES). A Voltage SourceConverter (VSC) and a Pulse-Width modulated Current Source Converter(PWM-CSC) are respectively used to integrate the SCES and the SMESsystems to the electrical distribution system. To represent the dynamicsbetween the EESS and the power distribution system a reduced generallinear model in the state-space representation is introduced. The proposedcontrol scheme regulates independently the active and reactive power flowbetween the EESS and ac the grid. Three case scenarios comparing a con-ventional PI controller and the proposed technique are conducted conside-ring grid voltage fluctuations. Extensive time-domain simulations demons-trate the robustness and proper performance of the proposed controller to operate the EESS as power compensator, in order to improve the operativeconditions of electrical distribution systems.

Background: In modern electrical power distribution systems, Power Quality has become an important concern due to the escalating use of automatic, microprocessor and microcontroller based end user applications. Methods: In this paper, power quality improvement has done using Photovoltaic based Distribution Static Compensator (PV-DSTATCOM). Complete simulation modelling and control of Photovoltaic based Distribution Static Compensator have been provided in the presented paper. In this configuration, DSTATCOM is fed by solar photovoltaic array and PV module is also helpful to maintain the DC link voltage. The switching of PV-STATCOM is controlled by Unit template based control theory. Results: The performance of PV-DSTATCOM has been evaluated for Unity Power Factor (UPF) and AC Voltage Control (ACVC) modes. Here, for studying the power quality issues three-phase distribution system is considered and results have been verified through simulation based on MATLAB software. Conclusion: Different power quality issues and their improvement are studied and presented here for harmonic reduction, DC voltage regulation and power factor correction.

Allocation Approach

Allocation of the power losses to distributed generators and consumers has been a challenging concern for decades in restructured power systems. This paper proposes a promising approach for loss allocation in power distribution systems based on a cooperative concept of game-theory, named Shapley Value allocation. The proposed solution is a generic approach, applicable to both radial and meshed distribution systems as well as those with high penetration of renewables and DG units. With several different methods for distribution system loss allocation, the suggested method has been shown to be a straight-forward and efficient criterion for performance comparisons. The suggested loss allocation approach is numerically investigated, the results of which are presented for two distribution systems and its performance is compared with those obtained by other methodologies.
