A partitioning strategy for improved state estimation performance in ill-conditioned power systems with hybrid measurement set

2021-12-01
Considering the increase in power system size and the number of PMUs, the utilization of a computationally efficient yet accurate static state estimator is crucial. The fast-decoupled WLS estimator (FD-WLS) is the most common method employed in industrial applications, thanks to its computational efficiency and ease of implementation. However, it is known that FD-WLS fails in the presence of an ill-conditioned power system, e.g., a power system with high R/X ratio and large difference between measurement error variances. This paper proposes a partitioning strategy for ill-conditioned power systems. The proposed method forms two types of subsystems, such that one can apply FD-WLS in the type-1 sub-systems, and conventional formulation of WLS should be applied in the type-2 sub-systems. The utilization of the proposed method enables a computational performance comparable to that of FD-WLS and an accuracy comparable to that of the centralized solution.

Yıldız, Tuna; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-6-18)
Considering the increase in power system size and the number of PMUs, it is essential to use a computationally efficient state estimator. The Fast Decoupled State Estimation is the most common method used in industrial applications, thanks to its computational efficiency and ease of implementation. However, it can be improved further by using sparse storage techniques, thanks to the sparse structure of the state estimation matrices. In literature, there are several types of sparse storage algorithms, howev...
A unifying grid approach for solving potential flows applicable to structured and unstructured grid configurations
Cete, A. Ruhsen; Yuekselen, M. Adil; Kaynak, Uenver (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01)
In this study, an efficient numerical method is proposed for unifying the structured and unstructured grid approaches for solving the potential flows. The new method, named as the "alternating cell directions implicit - ACDI", solves for the structured and unstructured grid configurations equally well. The new method in effect applies a line implicit method similar to the Line Gauss Seidel scheme for complex unstructured grids including mixed type quadrilateral and triangle cells. To this end, designated al...
A novel design method for underactuated variable oscillation mechanisms
TANIK, ENGİN; Söylemez, Eres (2015-01-01)
For variable oscillation mechanisms, if output stroke is decreased, output-link force will increase for a same input due to the mechanical advantage. Thus, in order to eliminate input actuator stall phenomena for cases where sudden increase occurs at output load, variable oscillation mechanisms can be employed. In this study, a novel design procedure for seven link two degree-of-freedom variable oscillation mechanisms is proposed. The mechanisms run as a six-link mechanism for a fixed position of a control-...
A Control Method to Enhance Dynamic Performance of Parallel Inverters in Islanded Microgrid
Kohansal, M.; Moghani, J. S.; Abdi, B.; Gharehpetian, G. B. (2011-09-10)
A new method for the power sharing in parallel inverters is proposed in this paper. The power calculation unit of the conventional droop is improved to obtain fast transient response. The reduction of the circulating current between inverters during system dynamics is one of the advantages of this method. Also, the proposed control method has a good dynamic performance and power sharing. The simulation results are presented to prove the validity and the improvements achieved by the proposed controller.

Kılıç, Hasan Hüseyin; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
In this thesis work, the effect of multi-harmonic load matching on improving the efficiency of power amplifiers is investigated. Techniques of efficient power amplifier design are discussed and analyzed in terms of multi-harmonic matching. Several circuit topologies are evaluated for multi-harmonic matching by discussing the advantages and the limitations. Specifically, a detailed multi-harmonic analysis of the triple stub topology is presented. The already-known single frequency impedance matching capabili...
