The principal objective of the asset management in a power distribution utility enterprise (DUE) ... more The principal objective of the asset management in a power distribution utility enterprise (DUE) is to guide the acquisition, use and disposal of distribution system assets to provide the level of service required by customers in the cost-effective manner, encompassing the strategic planning, maintenance and utilization and operation of a physical resource throughout its life. This study categorizes the asset management strategies of a (DUE) based on short-term, mid-term and long-term timescales and shows that their coordination plays a critical role in making strategic decisions. Short-term asset management is related with operational issues. Secure and reliable operation of the network, system monitoring and control, fault restoration are among the issues discussed in the paper. The issues regarding the maintenance of assets including the optimal maintenance strategy and optimal outage plan are presented under the title of mid-term asset management. Finally, strategic planning is discussed, where distributed generation (DG) is evaluated in the context of long-term system planning strategy. The utilization of information technologies (IT) plays a central role in the asset management of a DUE in all timescales

Traditional studies for long-term load forecasting were based on regression method, which could not provide a true representation of power system behavior in a volatile electricity market. The purpose of this paper is to introduce two approaches based regression method and artificial neural network (ANN) for

The proposed model can consider capacity limitations and transmission line forced outage rates. The importance of renewable energy sources has been growing at a high rate as a result of being environment friendly. In particular, wind energy is one of the most successfully utilized such source to produce electrical energy. The random nature of wind speed can be incorporated in the evaluation by representing the WTG by multi state models. A simple case study shows in detail how it is used to perform a reliability evaluation study in proposed model.

SCUC considers fixed and responsive loads. Unlike fixed hourly loads, responsive loads are modeled with their intertemporal characteristics. The responsive loads linked to hourly market prices can be curtailed or shifted to other operating hours. The study results show that

The objective is to minimize the total system cost in the planning horizon, comprising investment and operation costs and salvage values subject to long-term system reliability and short-term operation constraints. The multi-area expansion planning problem is decomposed into a planning problem and annual reliability subproblems. The planning decisions calculated in the planning problem would also satisfy the short-term operation constraints. A detailed model of thermal and hydro units is considered using the mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation. In addition, a multi-state representation for the expansion planning of renewable energy units is explored. The proposed approach considers customers' demand response as an option for reducing the short-term operation costs. The planning problem solution is applied to the annual reliability subproblems which examine system reliability indices as a post-processor. If the reliability limit is not satisfied, additional reliability constraints will be introduced which are based on the sensitivity of system reliability index to investment decisions. The new reliability constraints are added to the next iterations of the planning problem to govern the revised plan for the optimal expansion. Numerical simulations indicate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for solving the operation-constrained multi-area expansion planning problem of practical power systems.

The optimal PMU placement problem in ac/dc systems subjected to the system observability is presented in this paper by applying a mixed-integer programming model. In practice, the cost of each PMU is variable as a function of PMU measurement channels. This attribute is incorporated in the proposed model as well. In addition, the number of PMU measurement channels is deemed to be technically limited; thus, the common assumption concerning allocation of one PMU device to a single node is relaxed. The objective in the proposed optimization model is to minimize the total installation cost of PMUs when considering the observability of ac/dc transmission systems in the base case and contingency conditions. Numerical analyses are conducted for the IEEE standard test systems and a large-scale system, and the results are discussed.

DR considers physical and operating constraints of the hourly demand for economic and reliability responses. The proposed stochastic day-ahead scheduling algorithm considers random outages of system components and forecast errors for hourly loads and RES. The Monte Carlo simulation is applied to create stochastic security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) scenarios for the day-ahead scheduling. A general-purpose mixed-integer linear problem software is employed to solve the stochastic SCUC problem. The numerical results demonstrate the benefits of applying DR to the proposed day-ahead scheduling with variable RES.
