Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The market clearly indicates that the future of the mobility will be electric. This trend grows the electric energy market volume and opens new challenges for the research community. Production, transmission, and distribution systems are critical as well as utilization systems. The research cover also new components, design, testing and fault detection methods.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advantages related to the theory, design, modelling, application, control, testing of Electric Power Systems and generally all related aspects.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Generation methods, including renewable and classical power sources
  • Transmission (including HV AC/DC) system design with related protection methods and circuits
  • Power flow analysis and smart grid management
  • Failure diagnosis and detection
  • Active power and frequency control
  • Electromagnetic transients
  • Coordination of isolation
  • Protections in transmission systems
  • Interaction between electromagnetic transients and electromechanical transients
  • Power converters (modelling, design, control)

The article presents a study on the influence of weather factors (ambient temperature) on the operational reliability of overhead low-voltage power lines with bare conductors. A method for determining the average failure intensity, average failure duration, average renewal intensity, and failure rate of overhead low-voltage power lines with bare conductors as a function of ambient temperature is presented. Based on many years of observations of power lines operated in electric power distribution networks in Poland, the empirical values of the above-mentioned reliability indicators were determined. An analysis of empirical distribution compliance with the assumed theoretical model was also carried out. The reliability studies conducted showed that the highest failure intensity of the considered power lines occurred at temperatures commonly found in Poland. Full article

Photovoltaic (PV) power plants have comparatively weak infeed characteristics, unlike conventional synchronous generators. The controllability of grid-connected inverters and the limited overcurrent capability of power electronic devices means that the characteristics of faults on transmission lines fed by PV power stations are substantially different than those on transmission lines fed by conventional sources. Operating performances of distance relays on PV-fed transmission line are unveiled. This paper analyses the impact of PV-fed transmission lines in infeed conditions on distance protection. Fault signals on the transmission line were generated by Digsilent PowerFactory software. Then, fault signals were analyzed by discrete Fourier transformation (DFT) with MATLAB software. The measured current and voltage signals were preprocessed first with DFT, and then machine learning via a support vector machine (SVM) was used for regression. This research proposes an improvement on distance protection with SVM for preventing maloperation in infeed conditions on PV fed transmission lines. The average accuracy was up to 95.6% in this study. The simulation was performed at different locations along the transmission line with different types of fault on a given power system model with the PV power plant. Full article

The growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) affects the national electricity system in terms of power demand and load variation. Turning our attention to Italy, the number of vehicles on the road is 39 million; this represents a major challenge, as they will need to be recharged constantly when the transition to electric technology is complete. If we consider that the average power is 55 GW and the installed system can produce 120 GW of peak power, we can calculate that with only 5% of vehicles in recharging mode, the power demand increases to 126 GW, which is approximately 140% of installed power. The integration of renewable energy sources will help the grid, but this solution is less useful for handling large load variations that negatively affect the grid. In addition, some vehicles committed to public utility must have a reduced stop time and can be considered to have higher priority. The introduction of priorities implies that the power absorption limit cannot be easily introduced by limiting the number of charging vehicles, but rather by computing the power flow that respects constraints and integrates renewable and local storage power contributions. The problem formulated in this manner does not have a unique solution; in this study, the linear programming method is used to optimise renewable resources, local storage, and EVs to mitigate their effects on the grid. Simulations are performed to verify the proposed method. Full article
