Two-Layer Routing for High-Voltage Powerline Inspection by Cooperated Ground Vehicle and Drone

et al. 2019

A novel high-voltage powerline inspection system was investigated, which consists of the cooperated ground vehicle and drone. The ground vehicle acts as a mobile platform that can launch and recycle the drone, while the drone can fly over the powerline for inspection within limited endurance. This inspection system enables the drone to inspect powerline networks in a very large area. Both vehicle’ route in the road network and drone’s routes along the powerline network have to be optimized for improving the inspection efficiency, which generates a new Two-Layer Point-Arc Routing Problem (2L-PA-RP). Two constructive heuristics were designed based on “Cluster First, Route Second” and “Route First, Split Second”. Then, local search strategies were developed to further improve the quality of the solution. To test the performance of the proposed algorithms, different-scale practical cases were designed based on the road network and powerline network of Ji’an, China. Sensitivity analysis on the parameters related to the drone’s inspection speed and battery capacity was conducted. Computational results indicate that technical improvement on the inspection sensor is more important for the cooperated ground vehicle and drone system.

Two constructive heuristics are designed based on “Cluster First, Rank Second” and “Rank First, Split Second”. Then local search strategies are developed to further improve the quality of the solution. To test the performance of the proposed algorithms, practical cases with different-scale are designed based on the road network and powerline network of Ji’an, China. Sensitivity analysis on the parameters related with the drone’s inspection speed and battery capacity is conducted.

“…5 minute resolution) "real-time" electricity market, as well as reserve and regulation markets. Typically, proprietary software tools are used to solve the UCP for these markets; however, extensive research into methodologies and solutions has been conducted in academia, as well [24], and other optimization approaches are being developed [25][26][27]. The increased interest in integrating large capacities of variable renewable energy into the power system has led to efforts to account for uncertainty in the UCP by incorporating stochastic optimization using Lagrangian relaxation [28] and adaptive modeling techniques [29].…”

Modeling wind power curtailment with increased capacity in a regional electricity grid supplying a dense urban demand

Many US states have targets for vastly expanding electricity generation from renewable resources. As installed wind capacity increases, several factors can lead to the curtailment of potential wind-generated electricity. Reliably estimating wind power outputs remains a challenge given the dearth of available hub height-altitude wind speed data and measured outputs from newer turbines. A methodology to make such estimates with large increases in wind capacity is described. A regional wind power model, including subroutines for evaluating Statewide grid constraints, and a linear program to solve the model were developed to assess capacity factors and curtailments with deep penetration of wind power into an existing grid under several constrained scenarios implied by demand, baseload generation and transmission. Actual zonal demand and interzonal transmission limits were used for the New York State electricity grid, which has significant potential for wind power mostly distant from the concentrated electricity demand in and around New York City. 0.015% of the total number of 5-minute demand values over the 6-year analysis period. As such, any assumptions required to complete the zonal time series are not expected to have a significant impact on the results of the analysis.
