<p>Industries with co-generation plants face unprecedented problems due to penetration of renewable energy systems such as solar power on their existing distribution networks. These problems are caused by intermittent solar power. To this end, this paper provides a detailed investigation of the effects due to sudden changes in solar power on an existing industrial distribution network connected to co-generation plants. Moreover, the case studies in this work consider simultaneous operation of a large industry having co-generation captive power plant and large scale solar photovoltaic power plant. The real-time field data for the past three years are used to check the performance of solar photovoltaic power plant, load management, power quality and other concerning issues on the distribution network. In addition to the real-time data, the simulations were performed for the solar power output under different solar irradiance conditions. Moreover, these simulations are used to assess photovoltaic integration effects on a distribution system having a co-generation captive power plant. Finally, this paper put forward photovoltaic integration guidelines to industries and policymakers interested to carry out the integration studies in the future.</p>

The investigation of real-time dynamic behavior evaluation in the active distribution networks (ADNs) is a challenging task, and it has great importance due to the emerging trend of distributed generations, electric vehicles, and flexible loads integration. The advent of new elements influences the dynamic behavior of the electric distribution networks and increases the assessment complexity. However, the proper implementation of low-cost phasor measurement units (PMUs) together with the development of power system applications offer tremendous benefits. Therefore, this paper proposes a PMU-based multi-dimensional dynamic index approach for real-time dynamic behavior evaluation of ADNs. The proposed evaluation model follows the assessment principles of accuracy, integrity, practicability, and adaptability. Additionally, we introduced low-cost PMUs in the assessment model and implemented them for real-time and high-precision monitoring of dynamic behaviors in the entire distribution network. Finally, a complete model called the real-time dynamic characteristics evaluation system is presented and applied to the ADN. It is pertinent to mention that our proposed evaluation methodology does not rely on the network topology or line parameters of the distribution network since only the phasor measurements of node voltage and line current are involved in the dynamic index system. Thus, the presented methodology is well adaptive to different operation states of ADN despite frequent topology changes. The validation of the proposed approach was verified by conducting simulations on the modified IEEE 123-node distribution network. The obtained results verify the effectiveness and relevance of the proposed model for the real-time dynamic behavior evaluation of ADNs.

Distribution network has large number of facilities and very complex grid structure [. In order to improve the quality of maintenance, and shorten troubleshooting time in distribution network, this article proposes an inspection and troubleshooting support strategy based on smart phone [. Inspection and troubleshooting tasks can be dispatched directly to maintainers smart phone, and real time troubleshooting process can be reported to emergency command center. The application of smart phone can significantly improve daily inspection quality, shorten troubleshooting time. With the real time feedback from maintainers in working area, the whole troubleshooting process becomes standardized and transparent.

In this paper, the optimal charging and discharging schedules of electric vehicle (EV) are studied considering wind power under the condition of distribution network. In view of the uncertainty of EV charging-discharging demand and wind power output, the Markov decision process is adopted to model the randomness of supply and demand. Considering the dimensional disaster caused by dispatching a large number of EVs’ charging and discharging behavior in a centralized way, this paper proposes the two-layer dispatching model based on Markov decision process. First, the lower EV agents are responsible for collecting the real-time charging-discharging demands for EV and report to the upper dispatching center. Then the upper dispatching center gives the optimal charging and discharging power according to the real-time distribution operating status, wind power output and the EV information reported by each EV agent. Last, the lower agent gives the optimal charging-discharging sequence of each EV according to the upper optimal power. The goal of the upper dispatching center considers the power losses in the distribution network, load variance and the matching degree between EV charging-discharging and wind power output. The goal of the lower EV agent considers the EV charging-discharging fees and costs by EV battery losses. When deciding the optimal charging strategy, we design the two-layer Rollout algorithm to decide the optimal charging-discharging strategy considering the impact on future strategy decisions by current strategy decisions. Finally, the optimal results under four different strategies are simulated on the IEEE 30-bus distribution network system. The simulation results show that the proposed model and strategy can effectively reduce the distribution network losses and load variance, and greatly improve the utilization rate of wind power. Compared to the cost of uncoordinated EV charging, EV charging-discharging fees and battery loss costs by the proposed strategy have been greatly reduced.

Based on the study of 10 kV digital power distribution network (DPDN) power flow visualization, the paper uses hierarchical backward and forward sweep algorithm (HBAFSA) to significantly shorten the calculation time and improve the real-time performance of power flow, which analysis and layers the distribution network topology according to the breadth-first search and then calculate in parallel between the same level. Programming with Visual C# in Visual Studio 2010 environment gets the GIS data library to actively obtain real-time operating data of distribution network from the SCADA data library, and calculates rapidly with the HBAFSA, and transfers the real-time power flow data to the GIS data library. On the platform of the GIS, clicking nodes and branches can get the visualized real-time power flow, which indicates the achievement of the real-time power flow of the DPDN visualization on the platform of the GIS.

Hydraulic simulation models of water pipe networks (WPN) are routinely used for operational investigations and network design purposes. However, their full potential is often never realized because in the majority of cases, they have been calibrated with data collected manually from the field during a single historic time period and reflects the network operational conditions that were prevalent at that time. They were then applied as part of a reactive investigation. An urban water distribution network real time simulation system based on EPANET system using OPC (object linking and Embedding for Process control) communication was built in this paper. In order to make real-time simulation of water distribution network, the real-time data was collected every 15 minutes, the real time data were received and sent into water distribution network simulation model by OPC communication of EPANET system. The real-time data included total head of reservoir, flow rate, pressure, pump operation information. The real-time simulation system can give timely warning of changes for normal network operation, providing capacity to minimize customer impact and comparing the simulation results with the real-time data collected. The real time simulation system of urban water pipe network solved the problem of data input and user interaction compare to traditional network model. It offers a way for the development of intelligent water network.
