Optimal Allocation of Distributed Generators and Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems in Distribution System
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Ceylan,O.; Ozdemir,A.
This research proposes an expansion planning frame-work that determines the optimal number, location, size, and type of distributed generators (DGs) and the number, capacity, location, and operation of mobile battery energy storage systems (MBESSs) in the distribution networks to improve the voltage profiles. The framework is applied to IEEE 33-bus and 69-bus standard test systems. The framework uses the advanced grey-wolf optimization (AGWO) developed to deal with mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems and the forward-backward sweep power flow method to determine the optimal control parameters defined for the problem. This study shows that the proposed framework enables the allocation and operation of DG and MBESS units to eliminate all voltage violations. Moreover, a clear roadmap is proposed for the size and location of DG units in the system and guidelines for the monthly location of MBESS. © 2023 IEEE.

Probabilistic approach to assess and minimize the voltage violation risk in active distribution networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Kenari,M.T.; Ozdemir,A.; Heidari,A.
The increasing trend in using renewable energy resources in distribution systems has encouraged system operators to find the best methods to decrease the growing uncertainty's impact on system operation. A probabilistic approach based on the combination of Monte Carlo simulation and Particle Swarm Algorithm is proposed in this paper to reduce the risk of voltage magnitude violations. Also, a novel criterion is used to assess the risk of voltage magnitude violations in distribution system operation. This index is based on providing voltage samples using a probabilistic approach. Therefore, enhancing the confidence level of voltage risk is considered an objective function in finding the optimum location of energy storage systems. The proposed approach is applied to the IEEE 33-bus test system, and the results show that two ESS units installed at appropriate locations can solve all the voltage magnitude violation problems. © 2024 IEEE.
A Topology Detector Based Power Flow Approach for Radial and Weakly Meshed Distribution Networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Yetkin, Emrullah Fatih; Ceylan, Oğuzhan; Pisica,I.; Ozdemir,A.
Power distribution networks may need to be switched from one radial configuration to another radial structure, providing better technical and economic benefits. Or, they may also need to switch from a radial configuration to a meshed one and vice-versa due to operational purposes. Thus the detection of the structure of the grid is important as this detection will improve the operational efficiency, provide technical benefits, and optimize economic performance. Accurate detection of the grid structure is needed for effective load flow analysis, which becomes increasingly computationally expensive as the network size increases. To perform a proper load flow analysis, one has to build the distribution load flow (DLF) matrix from scratch cost of which is unavoidable with the growing size of the network. This will considerably increase the computation time when the system size increases, compromising applicability in online implementations. In this study we introduce a novel graph-based model designed to rapidly detect transitions between radial and weakly meshed systems. By leveraging the characteristic properties of Sparse Matrix-Vector product (SpMV) operations, we accelerate power flow calculations without necessitating the complete reconstruction of the DLF matrix. With this approach we aim to reduce the computational costs and to improve the feasibility of near-online implementations. © 2024 IEEE.
