A Reliability-Oriented Fuzzy Stochastic Framework in Automated Distribution Grids to Allocate $\mu$ -PMUs

Abstract

This paper proposes a reliability-oriented stochastic aggregated integer linear framework for full observability of the automated distributed systems based on the µ-synchrophasor units. The µ-synchrophasor unit as a newly introduced high-tech device makes it possible for an accurate and highspeed measurement of the voltage and current waveforms in the distribution systems. This paper proposes a multi-stage strategy for the µ-synchrophasor unit placement together with the communication system requirements in the reconfigurable distribution systems, considering the zero-injection constraints in the model. To determine the optimal topology at the end of each phase, a reliability-based cost function is developed to optimize the customer interruption costs and power losses simultaneously. In order to model the uncertainties of forecast error in the active and reactive load demands as well as the failure rate and repair rate parameters, a stochastic framework based on the fuzzy cloud theory is employed. The proposed bi-level mixed integer linear programing approach is used to co-optimize the network switching scheme as well as the optimal µ-synchrophasor positions and communication infrastructure costs in the same framework. The simulation results on a practical test system verify the observability of the automated reconfigurable distribution system during the reconfiguration process.

A Distributed Stochastic Energy Management Framework Based-Fuzzy-PDMM for Smart Grids Considering Wind Park and Energy Storage Systems

“…The test system modification has been commonly pursued in previous studies [40]. The capacity of each one of the storage systems are 100 kW and are able to be charged and discharged to almost 90% of their capacities [41]. Table III shows the bus data of the IEEE 24-bus test system.…”

A Secured Energy Management Architecture for Smart Hybrid Microgrids Considering PEM-Fuel Cell and Electric Vehicles

“…The microgrid technology can improve the system reliability by announcing self-healing capability in the low voltage level, upgrading the power quality, diminishing air pollution, reducing power losses, increasing revenues by lower T&D investments, providing growing space for renewable energy sources (RESs), and growing energy efficacy by getting compatible with the real-time market prices [4]- [7]. In this regard, a series of researches were implemented from the earliest works in [8]- [10] to the latest works on economics, operation, planning, scheduling, control, protection, and secured data communication in microgrids [11]- [14]. On the operation and management of microgrids, some of the most well-known methods are provided in [15].…”
