The Development and Application of a Distribution Class LMP Index (M-25 Report)
Description
The essence of the PSERC project “ The Development and Application of a Distribution Class Locational Marginal Price Index” is to examine the details of the proposed use of a pricing signal in power distribution systems much like the locational marginal price is used in transmission systems. The project work is reported in three volumes as described below. The first volume focuses on how a modified form of a locational marginal price can be calculated and used in distribution systems. The second volume focuses in on a specific application, namely electric vehicle charging. The third volume provides mathematical rigor in the calculation of the distribution locational marginal price. The main motivation for this work is a central tenet of ‘ the Smart Grid,” namely the use of measurements and signals in electric power systems to maximize the efficacy of the system. In this way, the maximal and most cost efficient use of the system assets are attained.

Analytical Methods for the Study of Investment Strategies in Compliance with Environmental Policy Requirements (M-28 Report)
Description
Investment in new generation capacity is critical to maintain the power system’ s capability to provide reliable and economic electricity to meet the growing demand. The objective of this project is to effectively address the many complicating factors in the investment decision-making area with the explicit consideration of the impacts of environmental regulations and of key sources of uncertainty. To meet this objective, we constructed an appropriate analytical framework to facilitate the analysis of the issues so as to lead to the selection of improved investment decisions.

Quantifying Benefits of Demand Response and Look-ahead Dispatch in Systems with Variable Resources (M-26 Report)
Description
Due to the limited predictability and high inter-temporal variability of renewable generation, novel operation and market design methods are needed for a cost-effective approach to integrating these resources into the power system. This project addresses these challenges by quantifying the benefits of using price-responsive demand in conjunction with a dynamic look-ahead dispatch algorithm. Importantly, our estimated benefits correspond to a real-world power system, as we use actual data on demand-response and wind generation by location, as well as a dispatch model calibrated to the actual network topology. We evaluate the effect of integrating demand response with a dynamic look-ahead dispatch model on power system scheduling based on realistic data obtained from Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

The Next Generation Energy Management System (EMS) Design (T-45 Report)
Description
Energy Management Systems (EMS) were invented in the seventies to add computationally intensive applications to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems which were introduced as the core infrastructure for scanning the field data in the sixties. Over the last 50 years, many EMS functions were implemented and SCADA was further enhanced. Recently, limitations of low scanning capability of traditional SCADA became obvious and new substation Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) such as Digital Protective Relays (DPRs), Digital Fault Recorders (DFRs) and Phasor Measurement units (PMUs) offered much better time resolution of the field measurements. Such developments led to a question addressed in this project: how should future EMS systems evolve assuming that new IEDs may be integrated in a common data measurement infrastructure?

Impacts of Bad Data and Cyber Attacks on Electricity Market Operations (M-27 Report)
Description
Cybersecurity is a critical concern facing the electric power industry. More needs to be learned about how breaches in cybersecurity could affect the industry. In this project, we explored impacts of bad data and malicious data attacks on real-time market operations. In particular, we investigated the problem from perspectives of an attacker and the control center of a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO).

Distribution System Analysis Tools for Studying High Penetration of PV with Grid Support Features (T-44 Report)
Description
Large penetration levels of distributed renewable resources in power distribution systems, especially photovoltaic generators, can potentially impose a paradigm shift in the design, operation, protection and control of the distribution systems. Large scale implementation of distributed generators may lead to a gradual transition of feeders fed from large centralized generators to a system with a large number of small to medium sized distributed generators interfaced through power electronic converters. In order to understand and analyze the impact of high penetration of inverter-interfaced PV with sophisticated grid support features, it is essential to have a distribution system analysis tool capable of modeling the complex static and dynamic behavior of these devices and the distribution system under a wide range of time scales. The objective of this project is to develop new features and enhance the capabilities of distribution systems analysis tools so as to fully capture the static, quasi-static and dynammic impact of distributed photovoltaic generators at high penetration levels.

Testing and Validation of Phasor Measurement Based Devices and Algorithms (S-45 Report)
Description
Synchrophasor technology enables a good indication of the status or condition of power grid in real time. The need is to ensure high accuracy of measurements from synchrophasor devices and the validation of developed algorithms utilizing synchrophasors under different operating scenarios of the power system. This research project report mainly focuses on following goals: (a) testing and validation of synchrophasor devices; b) testing of phasor based voltage stability and state estimation applications utilizing a real time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test bed; and (c) utilization of PMUs for advanced protection schemes with emphasis on dynamic protection algorithms for transformers. To achieve these goals, the Real Time Digital Simulator at Washington State University and WinIGS-T at Georgia Institute of Technology were both upgraded to perform testing of synchrophasor devices and applications.

Setting-less Protection (T-49G Report)
Description
The capabilities of protective relays have increased dramatically as higher end microprocessors are increasingly used in modern numerical relays, and more elaborate communication interfaces are provided. At the same time, the complexity has increased primarily because numerical relays are set to mimic the traditional electromechanical counterparts. There is a need for simplified but secure and reliable protection schemes that fully utilize existing and expected technology advancements. A state estimation based approach provides a secure and dependable protection scheme and it does not require coordination with other devices or protection schemes so it is “ setting-less.” The setting-less protection approach can be viewed as a generalization of differential protection, enabled with dynamic state estimation. Specifically, the proposed protection scheme is based on continuously monitoring terminal voltages and currents of the component (i.e., zone of protection) and other possible quantities, such as tap setting and temperature, appropriate for the component under protection. The monitored data are utilized in a dynamic state estimation that continuously provides the dynamic state of the component by fitting the measurement data to the model equations of the device under protection. The dynamic state is then used to determine the health of the component, i.e., whether the component is unfaulted and operating within its design limits. Whether the component should be tripped is decided based on its health. This report presents the design of the setting-less protective relay and its application to three different protection zones: transformer, reactor, and capacitor bank. Numerical experiments are presented to validate the design.
