The increasing incorporation of renewable energy into the electricity grid is making the grid vulnerable to any contingency as system inertia is decreasing gradually with the growing non-synchronous penetration. This growing proliferation of renewable energy challenges the secure operation of power system.
This paper proposes an inertia constraint economic dispatch method which ensures the adequacy of minimum inertia at all dispatch periods. The proposed method protects the system during any contingency in terms of frequency stability. A significant improvement in system frequency nadir and RoCoF is shown, yet keeping enough headroom to provide primary frequency response to the system.
The lives of people around the world have been heavily affected due to the unprecedented outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus, more commonly known as COVID-19 pandemic. The situation is no more just an economic and public health crisis, rather a disruption in all aspects of the society of which electricity grid is no exception.
Electrical utilities and operators of many affected countries of the world have found themselves in a precarious position. Due to governmental restrictions to contain the virus within the country, the grid experienced drastic change in electricity generation and demand patterns.
In this paper, the change in daily load curve of Bangladesh is analyzed and compared to that of previous years. Comparison is made between system demand pattern before and after country-wide governmental restrictions were enacted. The results from the study provides valuable insights into Bangladesh power system under a natural and global contingency.
Due to high proliferation of wind and PV generation in modern power systems, maintaining adequate synchronous inertia has been a challenging task. Being non-synchronous machines, wind and PV generators cannot provide inherent system inertia to keep system frequency within satisfactory limits during any contingency such as an interconnection trip or a generator trip. This paper proposes a robust technique for real time estimation of minimum required synchronous inertia subject to desired frequency nadir and ROCOF at a fixed contingency in-between dispatch cycles in a renewable prolific network.
Projects
The objective of this project was to implement a Under-Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) scheme where the whole network would be divided into multiple zones based on Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI).
IEEE Standard 39-bus system (New England Power System) was the experiment test-bed for the project.
The FVSI-based zonal UFLS scheme showed significant improvement in system RoCoF and frequency nadir.
The project aims to help people who are hearing or visually impaired. One of the ways for them to communicate with the world is to talk through Braille symbols/words, which is a tactile writing system consisting of six (6) dots/embossings which are unique and different for 26 letters in the English alphabet and 10 Arabic numerals.
Our aim is to develop a low-cost system that will take any text as input and render a tactile output which generates each letter of the given text sequentially.
In recent years, increasing demand and lack of new generation and transmission networks have forced power transmission and distribution systems to operate closer to their security limits. In addition, due to the penetration of renewable energy based distributed generators; distribution systems are becoming more vulnerable to voltage instability problem. Voltage instability or collapse is believed to be a local load bus problem, which can cause trouble to the entire system and depends mostly on load conditions in the system.
In this project, P-V and Q-V curve method of determining voltage stability of IEEE standard modified 14 bus system is carried out and the results are shown. Powerworld Simulator 20 GSO environment has been used for performance analysis.
