A new adaptive load shedding method based on the artificial neural network (ANN) and power flow tracing is proposed in this paper. The ANN is used to estimate the total active power imbalance according to the time interval of frequency drop of the equivalent inertial center from the rated value to the threshold. Load frequency regulation factor and the load priority are incorporated into the power...
Grid connection of distributed generation would have a certain impact on safe and stable operation of receiving-end network, so systematic analysis on it would be significant. The method for comprehensive assessment on effects caused by grid connection of distributed generation on power grid is presented.

This paper considers a framework of electrical cyber-physical systems (ECPSs) in which each bus and branch in a power grid is equipped with a controller and a sensor. By means of measuring the damages of cyber attacks in terms of cutting off transmission lines, three solution approaches are proposed to assess and deal with the damages caused by faults or cyber attacks. Splitting incident is treated...

Recent years, the issue of cyber security has become ever more prevalent in the analysis and design of electrical cyber-physical systems (ECPSs). In this paper, we present the TrueTime Network Library for modeling the framework of ECPSs and focuses on the vulnerability analysis of ECPSs under DoS attacks. Model predictive control algorithm is used to control the ECPS under disturbance or attacks....
Vulnerability due to inter-connectivity of multiple networks has been observed in many complex networks. Previous works mainly focused on robust network design and on recovery strategies after sporadic or massive failures in the case of complete knowledge of failure location. We focus on cascading failures involving the power grid and its communication network with consequent imprecision in damage...
The relentless efforts towards power reduction of integrated circuits have led to the prevalence of near-threshold computing paradigms. With the significantly reduced noise margin, therefore, it is no longer possible to fully assure power integrity at design time. As a result, designers seek to contain noise violations, commonly known as voltage emergencies, through various runtime techniques. All...
With the increase of the scale of the power grid and the improvement of the intelligence degree, the rationality and accuracy of the schedule power flow (the schedule) are becoming more and more serious. In this paper, by analyzing the relationship between input and output in the process of power flow calculation, the five main factors influencing the line active power deviation and the main cause...
Network reduction methods are essential and useful means today for analyzing large, complex power systems with much ease. It is desired that the reduced network represent the original network as closely as possible. Several methods are available in the literature for the reduction purpose. Zhukov’s method of network reduction is well-suited to large system reduction where identity of pertinent...
Distributed Generation (DG) has gained relevance In Medium Voltage (MV) / Low Voltage (LV) power grids worldwide. One of the main drawbacks related to high penetration of DG plants is represented by abrupt voltage raises. Such an issue typically occurs in the presence of either low demand conditions or high power production from renewable sources. This work is focused on the online management of distributed...

Increasing dynamics of electrical loads presents uncertainty and hence new challenges for power grid controls and optimization. In economic dispatch control (EDC) for minimizing generation cost, demand reporting by customers is a promising approach for managing the uncertainty, but it raises important privacy concerns. Adding random noise to aggregate queries of demand reports can provide differential...
