Test Plan For Real-Time Modeling & Simulation Of Single Pole Switching Relays, Ram Mohan Sanaboyina May 2016

Test Plan For Real-Time Modeling & Simulation Of Single Pole Switching Relays, Ram Mohan Sanaboyina

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

A real-time simulator (RTS) with digital and analog input/output modules is used to conduct hardware-in-the-loop simulations to evaluate performance of power system equipment such as protective relays by exposing the equipment to the simulated realistic operating conditions. This work investigates the use of RTS to test relays with single-pole-switching (SPS) feature. Single-pole switching can cause misoperations due to fault arc during reclosing of the breakers. Through this investigation, a test procedure appropriate for the testing SPS relays has been developed. The test procedure includes power system modeling for real time simulation, relay test setup, and test plan. HYPERSIM real-time simulator …


Sensitivity Analysis Of Synchronous Generators For Real-Time Simulation, Sowmya Munukuntla May 2016

Sensitivity Analysis Of Synchronous Generators For Real-Time Simulation, Sowmya Munukuntla

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to validate generator models for dynamic studies of power systems using PSS/E (Power System Simulator for Engineering), EMTP (ElectroMagnetic Transient Program), and Hypersim. To thoroughly evaluate the behavior of a power system in the three specified software packages, it is necessary to have an accurate model for the power system, especially the generator which is of interest. The effect of generator modeling on system response under normal conditions and under faulted conditions is investigated in this work. A methodology based on sensitivity analysis of generator model parameters is proposed aiming to homogenize the behavior …


Utilization Of Distributed Generation In Power System Peak Hour Load Shedding Reduction, Nandu Balachandran May 2016

Utilization Of Distributed Generation In Power System Peak Hour Load Shedding Reduction, Nandu Balachandran

University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

An approach to utilize Distributed Generation (DG) to minimize the total load shedding by analyzing the power system in Transactive energy framework is proposed. An algorithm to optimize power system in forward and spot markets to maximize an electric utility’s profit by optimizing purchase of power from DG is developed. The proposed algorithm is a multi-objective optimization with the main objective to maximize a utility’s profit by minimizing overall cost of production, load shedding, and purchase of power from distributed generators. This work also proposes a method to price power in forward and spot markets using existing LMP techniques. Transactive …
