Distribution-Agnostic Stochastic Optimal Power Flow for Distribution Grids

This paper outlines a data-driven, distributionally robust approach to solve chance-constrained AC optimal power flow problems in distribution networks. Uncertain forecasts for loads and power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems are considered, with the goal of minimizing PV curtailment while meeting power flow and voltage regulation constraints. A data- driven approach is utilized to develop a distributionally robust conservative convex approximation of the chance-constraints; particularly, the mean and covariance matrix of the forecast errors are updated online, and leveraged to enforce voltage regulation with predetermined probability via Chebyshev-based bounds. By combining an accurate linear approximation of the AC power flow equations with the distributionally robust chance constraint reformulation, the resulting optimization problem becomes convex and computationally tractable.

Grid Expansion Planning for Carbon Emissions Reduction

There is a need to upgrade and expand electric power transmission and generation to meet specified renewable energy targets and simultaneously minimize construction cost and carbon emissions. Some challenges are: (1) Renewable energy sources have variable production capacity; (2) Deficiency of transmission capacity at desirable renewable generation locations; (3) Need to incorporate models of operations into planning studies; and (4) Prevent undesirable operational outcomes such as negative dispatch prices or curtailment of carbon neutral generation.

Regulatory Protection and Control Standards Applicable to The Vietnam Grid Under High Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) Penetration: A Review of Standards Applicable for Vietnam Grid

This report provides a review of the current standards and practices followed by regulatory authorities for interconnection of inverter-based resources (IBR). With the increased penetration of IBRs into the transmission and distribution networks, the legacy protection methodologies are getting challenged. Due to the lack of regulations on IBR operations under a fault it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the present-day interconnection standards to ensure proper IBR operations. A focus is placed on the regulation and standards enforced by the North American Reliability Corporation (NERC), Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineer (IEEE), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and other regulations proposed by the responsible commissions.
