TL;DR: A critical review of techniques used for detection and classification PQ disturbances in the utility grid with renewable energy penetration is presented, to provide various concepts utilized for extraction of the features to detect and classify the P Q disturbances even in the noisy environment.
Abstract: The global concern with power quality is increasing due to the penetration of renewable energy (RE) sources to cater the energy demands and meet de-carbonization targets. Power quality (PQ) disturbances are found to be more predominant with RE penetration due to the variable outputs and interfacing converters. There is a need to recognize and mitigate PQ disturbances to supply clean power to the consumer. This article presents a critical review of techniques used for detection and classification PQ disturbances in the utility grid with renewable energy penetration. The broad perspective of this review paper is to provide various concepts utilized for extraction of the features to detect and classify the PQ disturbances even in the noisy environment. More than 220 research publications have been critically reviewed, classified and listed for quick reference of the engineers, scientists and academicians working in the power quality area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is considered for both improving the performance of a hybrid system, which contains WECS and photovoltaics (PVs) against wind gusts and maintaining the continuous operations of RESs during three-phase fault occur at the point of common coupling (PCC) between the RESs and the grid.
Abstract: Connecting different renewable energy sources (RESs) to the electrical grids is presently being urged to fulfill the enormous need for electric power and to decrease traditional sources’ ecological related issues, the so-called hybrid systems. Unfortunately, these hybrid systems suffer from the possible negative environmental impacts of the wind gusts in wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) that may degrade the overall system performance. Additionally, various severe faults may disconnect some RESs from the hybrid system, like three-phase faults. In this paper, the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is considered for both improving the performance of a hybrid system, contains WECS and photovoltaics (PVs) against wind gusts and maintaining the continuous operations of RESs during three-phase fault occur at the point of common coupling (PCC) between the RESs and the grid. The STATCOM is stimulated by two PI controllers regulating the reactive power flow between the STATCOM and the hybrid system at PCC and, consequently, regulating the voltage at PCC. A metaheuristic optimizer optimally schedules these two PI controllers based on whale optimization algorithm (WOA). The impartial comparison between the WOA dynamic performance and the particle swarm optimization as another optimization algorithm verifies the efficiency of the WOA for the near-optimal gain scheduling of the PI controller gains.

Abstract: Recently, power quality (PQ) issues have drawn considerable attention of the researchers due to the increasing awareness of the customers towards power quality. The PQ issues maintain its pre-eminence because of the significant growth encountered in the smart grid technology, distributed generation, usage of sensitive and power electronic equipments with the integration of renewable energy resources. The IoT and 5G networks technologies have a number of advantages like smart sensor interfacing, remote sensing and monitoring, data transmission at high speed. Due to this, applications of these two are highly adopted in smart grid. The prime focus of the paper is to present an exhaustive survey of detection and classification of power quality disturbances by discussing signal processing techniques and artificial intelligence tools with their respective pros and cons. Further, critical analysis of automatic recognition techniques for the concerned field is posited with the viewpoint of the types of power input signal (synthetic/real/noisy), pre-processing tools, feature selection methods, artificial intelligence techniques and modes of operation (online/offline) as per the reported articles. The present work also elaborates the future scope of the said field for the reader. This paper provides valuable guidelines to the researchers those having interest in the field of PQ analysis and exploring the better methodologies for further improvement. Comprehensive comparisons have been presented with the help of tabular presentations.

TL;DR: The proposed hybrid convolutional neural network method is a novel approach that covers the steps of an expert examining a signal and its classification performance is relatively high compared to other methods, the computational complexity is almost the same.
Abstract: As a result of the widespread use of power electronic equipment and the increase in consumption, the importance of effective energy policies and the smart grid begins to increase. Nonlinear loads and other loads in electric power systems are considered as the main reason for power quality disturbance. Distortions in signal quality and shape due to power quality disturbance cause a decrease in total efficiency. The proposed hybrid convolutional neural network method consists of a 1D convolutional neural network structure and a 2D convolutional neural network structure. The features acquired by these two convolutional neural network architectures are classified using the fully connected layer, which is traditionally used as the classifier of convolutional neural network architectures. Power signals are processed using a 1D convolutional neural network in their original form. Then these signals are converted into images and processed using a 2D convolutional neural network. Then, feature vectors generated by 1D and 2D convolutional neural networks are combined. Finally, this combined vector is classified by a fully connected layer. The proposed method is well suited to the nature of signal processing. It is a novel approach that covers the steps of an expert examining a signal. The proposed framework is compared with other state-of-the-art power quality disturbance classification methods in the literature. While the proposed method's classification performance is relatively high compared to other methods, the computational complexity is almost the same.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an improved power quality (PQ) disturbances classification, which were associated with load changes and environmental factors, by employing support vector machines (SVM) and decision tree classifiers.
Abstract: Penetration of distributed generation (DG) systems in conventional power systems leads to power quality (PQ) disturbances. This paper provides an improved PQ disturbances classification, which are associated with load changes and environmental factors. Various forms of PQ disturbances, including sag, swell, notch and harmonics, are taken into account. Several features are obtained through HS-transform, out of which optimal features are selected using a genetic algorithm (GA). These optimal features are used for PQ disturbances classification by employing support vector machines (SVM) and decision tree (DT) classifiers. The study is supported on three different case studies, considering experimental set-up prototypes for wind energy and photovoltaic (PV) systems, as well as the modified Nordic 32-bus test system. The robustness and precision of DT and SWM is performed with noise and harmonics in the disturbance signals, thus providing comprehensive results.

TL;DR: The S transform as discussed by the authors is an extension to the ideas of the Gabor transform and the Wavelet transform, based on a moving and scalable localising Gaussian window and is shown here to have characteristics that are superior to either of the transforms.
Abstract: The S transform, an extension to the ideas of the Gabor transform and the Wavelet transform, is based on a moving and scalable localising Gaussian window and is shown here to have characteristics that are superior to either of the transforms. The S transform is fully convertible both forward and inverse from the time domain to the 2-D frequency translation (time) domain and to the familiar Fourier frequency domain. Parallel to the translation (time) axis, the S transform collapses as the Fourier transform. The amplitude frequency-time spectrum and the phase frequency-time spectrum are both useful in defining local spectral characteristics. The superior properties of the S transform are due to the fact that the modulating sinusoids are fixed with respect to the time axis while the localising scalable Gaussian window dilates and translates. As a result, the phase spectrum is absolute in the sense that it is always referred to the origin of the time axis, the fixed reference point. The real and imaginary spectrum can be localised independently with a resolution in time corresponding to the period of the basis functions in question. Changes in the absolute phase ofa constituent frequency can be followed along the time axis and useful information can be extracted. An analysis of a sum of two oppositely progressing chirp signals provides a spectacular example of the power of the S transform. Other examples of the applications of the Stransform to synthetic as well as real data are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present how renewable energy resources are currently being used, scientific developments to improve their use, their future prospects, and their deployment, and represent the impact of power electronics and smart grid technologies that can enable the proportionate share of renewable resources.
Abstract: Electric energy security is essential, yet the high cost and limited sources of fossil fuels, in addition to the need to reduce greenhouse gasses emission, have made renewable resources attractive in world energy-based economies. The potential for renewable energy resources is enormous because they can, in principle, exponentially exceed the world׳s energy demand; therefore, these types of resources will have a significant share in the future global energy portfolio, much of which is now concentrating on advancing their pool of renewable energy resources. Accordingly, this paper presents how renewable energy resources are currently being used, scientific developments to improve their use, their future prospects, and their deployment. Additionally, the paper represents the impact of power electronics and smart grid technologies that can enable the proportionate share of renewable energy resources.

TL;DR: This work presents a comprehensive survey of the advances with ABC and its applications and it is hoped that this survey would be very beneficial for the researchers studying on SI, particularly ABC algorithm.
Abstract: Swarm intelligence (SI) is briefly defined as the collective behaviour of decentralized and self-organized swarms. The well known examples for these swarms are bird flocks, fish schools and the colony of social insects such as termites, ants and bees. In 1990s, especially two approaches based on ant colony and on fish schooling/bird flocking introduced have highly attracted the interest of researchers. Although the self-organization features are required by SI are strongly and clearly seen in honey bee colonies, unfortunately the researchers have recently started to be interested in the behaviour of these swarm systems to describe new intelligent approaches, especially from the beginning of 2000s. During a decade, several algorithms have been developed depending on different intelligent behaviours of honey bee swarms. Among those, artificial bee colony (ABC) is the one which has been most widely studied on and applied to solve the real world problems, so far. Day by day the number of researchers being interested in ABC algorithm increases rapidly. This work presents a comprehensive survey of the advances with ABC and its applications. It is hoped that this survey would be very beneficial for the researchers studying on SI, particularly ABC algorithm.
