Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to the consideration and discussion of problems in the field of mathematical tools development and implementation to suit the needs of electrical grid monitoring and control system automation. Such systems are developed for the purpose of optimizing the mode and improving the efficiency of electrical grids’ operations. The design of a new generation of grids requires the improvement of control and monitoring systems and the automation of power production, transmission and distribution; in other words, the complete digitalization of power grids is required. The purpose of this Special Issue is a scientific and technical exchange in the field of mini and micro grid control and monitoring; in particular, PMU-based control, power consumption control, power equipment asset management, PMU-based power equipment monitoring and diagnostics, adaptive relay protection, and automation system design and implementation.

The relative protective devices are cascaded in a proper sequence with a proper min/max coordination time margin (CTM) to minimize the outage area of the network in case of fault condition. This manuscript addresses a new methodology based on the gorilla troops optimizer (GTO) to produce the best automated settings for overcurrent relays. In the GTO, the exploration and exploitation phases are realized using five methodologies. Three of them are used in the exploration phase and the other two in the exploitation phase. In the exploration phase, all gorillas are considered as candidate solutions and the best one is considered as the silverback gorilla. Then again, the exploitation phase comprises two steps: (i) the first one is the follow of silverback gorilla, and (ii) the second one is the competition for adult females. The latter mentioned offers an added advantage to the GTO framework to move forward steadily to global minima and to avoid trapping into local minima. Two test cases under numerous scenarios are demonstrated comprising an isolated real distribution network with distributed generations for the Agiba Petroleum company which is in the Western Desert of Egypt. The relay coordination problem is adapted as an optimization problem subject to a set of predefined constraints which is solved using the GTO including fixed and varied inverse IEC curves, in which the practical constraints including transformer phase shift and other scenarios for min/max fault conditions are dealt with. In due course, this current effort aims at proving the best strategy for achieving the smoothest coordination of overcurrent relays (OCRs), with the least obtained value of CTMs for the studied cases being established via the automated relay settings. At last, it can be pointed out that the GTO successfully dealt with this problem and was able to produce competitive answers compared to other competitors. Full article

Stochastic renewable sources of energy have been causing changes in the structure and operation of power systems. High penetration of this type of generation results in decreased inertia of a power system, increased active power fluctuations, and a higher probability of false tripping of emergency control devices. Traditional algorithms of emergency control are not adaptable and flexible enough for systems with high penetration of renewables and flexible alternating current transmission systems. Integration and development of phasor measurement units make it possible to create adaptable emergency control systems, which would require minimal pre-defined data. The purpose of this study is to develop an adaptable algorithm of turbine fast valving control synthesis and transient stability estimation for a generator. The suggested algorithm is based on the equal area criterion in the domain synchronous generator Torque—Load angle. The measurements of the generator operation under consideration are used as the input data for the steam turbine fast valving control synthesis. Thus, the algorithm becomes adaptable because no pre-defined parameters of a power system model are required. Full article
