ABSTRACT:
The objective of this tutorial is to expose researchers from the academia and industry to the field to computational intelligence and its applications in system identification/modeling, nonlinear control and optimization for power systems.
System characterization and identification are fundamental problems in systems theory. The identification problem is to infer relationships between the past data and future ones of unknown time series and dynamical systems. In both cases the ultimate goal is to provide a time-dependent model approximating the behavior of the system generating the data. In classical approaches the search for the optimal approximation model is carried out within a parameterized identification family (usually linear such as Moving Average (MA), Auto-Regressive (AR), and/or their combination ARMA for time-series or with an eXogenous (X) variable e.g., ARX or ARMAX for dynamical systems) and it is chosen to optimize a given figure of merit (e.g. a mean-squared error function). Because of its simplicity, a linear model does not always adequately approximate a generic nonlinear system throughout its entire working environment. Therefore, to improve approximation accuracy, various solutions have been envisaged which generally encompass system linearization around a set of working points and expansions in series of functionals (e.g. Volterra’s series): the bottleneck with this is the computational load. Obviously, difficulties increase when the model ruling the system is unknown; in this case, the system needs to be treated as a black-box model.
For this purpose approximators like neural networks, fuzzy systems, because of their intrinsic nonlinearity and computational simplicity, are natural candidates to approximate a given model. In fact, the nonlinear parametric family obtainable with neural structures extends the linear one by nonlinear models; among them are the NAR and NARX subfamilies. Identification of dynamic systems with neural networks has been suggested for example by Narendra where, under the stationarity hypothesis for the system generating the data, it is shown how NARX neural networks are able to solve the problem. Neural networks of the multilayer feedforward and recurrent types are employed for systems identification.
Nonlinear control has been proposed using intelligent systems such as neural networks, fuzzy, reinforcement learning and many others using inverse models, direct/indirect adaptive, or cloning a linear controller. There are merits for each approach adopted. There is a wide-gap between applications of these methods in real time and in simulation. Issues such as stability, processor speeds, learning time, types of training algorithms etc. arise when it comes to real time implementations.
Adaptive Critic designs are neural networks capable of optimization over time under conditions of noise and uncertainty. The optimization technique is based on a combination of the concept of reinforcement learning and approximate dynamic programming. The Adaptive Critic method determines an optimal control law for a system by successively adapting two artificial neural networks, an action network (which dispenses the control signals) and a critic network (which ‘learns’ the desired performance index for some function associated with the performance index).
Swarm intelligence based algorithms are powerful where a team effort is required to achieve a local or a global task. The communication among agents using the particle swarm optimization algorithm is fast and convergence of the algorithm on suitable selection of its parameters can be achieved.
The primary aim of this tutorial is to provide control and system engineers/researchers from industry/academia, new to the field of computational intelligence with the fundamentals required to benefit from and contribute to the rapidly growing field of intelligent systems. In particular, a clear understanding of the different strategies for designing intelligent identifiers and controllers will be developed by means of examples for the electric power system. MANAGING VOLTAGE DIP PERFORMANCE AND EFFECTS IN DISTRIBUTION/TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS AND INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

MAJOR TOPICS:
The causes and propagation of voltage dips (sags) in power systems Voltage dip (sag) measurement and assessment standards and guidelines The impact of voltage dips (sags) on industrial plant Voltage dip (sag) testing Solutions to voltage dip (sag) problems Simulation of voltage dip (sag) performance International approaches to the management of voltage dips (sags) Economic considerations
ABSTRACT:
Together with supply interruptions, voltage dips are one of the primary concerns of industrial, commercial, and agricultural customers as far as power quality is concerned. The objective of this tutorial is to expose practitioners and researchers to the state of the art in voltage dip management – from the perspectives of a wires company (transmission & distribution), a customer, a supplier of end- use equipment, a retail company, and a Regulator.
Significant developments in international approaches to dip characterization and management have occurred in the last five years. These impact the manner in which plants are designed and operated, and the manner in which voltage dip performance is reported and managed by the supplier (wires company and retailer)
The tutorial focuses on the technical responsibilities and options that each of the role players (a wires company, a customer, a supplier of end-use equipment, a retail company, and a Regulator) have in managing dip performance and impacts.
The technical interaction of system faults and equipment connected to the power system is reviewed both theoretically and through examples of practical measurements. In particular, the various factors that impact the immunity of customer equipment (motor contactors, variable speed drives etc) are detailed. Simulation techniques are discussed.
The tutorial makes use of case study reference material, dip measurements, and laboratory test results to explore actual performance levels and solutions.
Guidelines and standards relating to voltage dips in power quality standards and recommendations (IEEE, IEC, SEMI, CIGRE, CENELEC and NRS) are reviewed. Approaches taken by wires companies and regulators in addressing voltage dips are also discussed.
Economic considerations relating to voltage dip management are reviewed. PROPOSED DURATION: 1 day

A TUTORIAL PROPOSAL FOR THE 2005 IEEE PES INAUGURAL 2005 CONFERENCE AND EXPOSITION IN AFRICA

IEEE Tutorial on Synchronous Generator Protection
By
Charles J. Mozina
Member of the IEEE Power System Relay Committee (PSRC) and the past chairman of the Rotating Machinery Subcommittee.
DESCRIPTION This intensive full day tutorial seminar will build the background you need to understand the complex subject of generation protection, even if you have a limited knowledge of protective relaying. Generators, whether large or small need to be protected not only from internal short circuits, but from abnormal operation conditions, such as overexcitation, overvoltage, loss-of-field, unbalanced currents, reverse power, and abnormal frequency. When subjected to these conditions, damage or complete failure can occur within seconds, requiring automated detection and tripping. This tutorial addresses the methods, practices and industry standards used to provide the electrical protection of generators. This includes a discussion of insurance implications on generator protection. The IEEE Power System Relay Committee developed this tutorial which will be modified to highlight international generator protection practices.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND Engineers, technical personnel and operators involved in the design, engineering, operation, and maintenance of generators in power plants.
TUTORIAL OUTLINE Introduction-basic concepts, industry standards and generator grounding, hybrid grounding Generator stator phase fault protection Generator turn- to- turn fault detection Field ground protection Stator ground fault protection—Hybrid generator grounding protection Abnormal frequency protection/ Low frequency relay response Overexcitation/overvoltage protection VT signal loss protection Loss-of-field protection Out-of-step protection Negative sequence (current unbalance) protection System backup Off-line generator inadvertent energizing Generator breaker failure Generator tripping/shutdown options
