This research proposes a novel emission dispatch formulation which solves for the optimal amount of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources (RES) that minimizes emission while ensuring short-term frequency stability of the power system. Unlike emission dispatch of previous research, which often neglected the added risks associated with more RES, the proposed formulation is characterized by the addition of (a) short-term frequency stability constraint and (b) EVs and RES capacity defined as part of the optimization variables. These two characteristics are utilized to solve for a risk-inclusive solution to the emission dispatch problem which gives a more realistic prospect to reducing emissions. Three test areas, loosely based on OECD countries, illustrate the effect of the proposed formulation where several insights about emission reductions are revealed.
Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) installed across North America, compute and store synchrophasor data at select locations. However, the efforts to process the synchrophasor data to meet very high operator trust expectations has been challenging. This paper describes Synchrophasor Data Quality (SDQ) Activity, Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for the Power Grid (TCIPG) Project efforts to investigate synchrophasor data archived from American Transmission Company's system including both observations from the field to characterize synchrophasor data quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
