    Loss Calculation Technique With Randomize Load Curves
    (Gazi Univ, 2017) Onen, Ahmet
    Calculating feeder losses accurately is an important part of evaluating designs for electric power distribution systems. Historically, these losses have been calculated one of three ways: (1) using a peak load calculation and the load factor method, (2) using customer class statistics normalized for a month, season, or year, or (3) using customer class statistics together with feeder measurements to reflect the variation in load every hour of the year. The first two methods require far less data but provide far less accuracy than the third method. In this paper, the authors present a method of calculating losses that achieves better accuracy than the first two methods without the large data requirements of the third method.

    Investigation of Distributed Series Reactors in Power System Applications and Its Economic Implementation
    (Wiley, 2016-08-18) Onen, Ahmet
    The transmission system expansion planning process requires lots of calculations looking many years into the future, and the results are based on assumed load growth. If the load growth assumed in the planning process is not correct and unexpected load growth occurs for some load points, the transmission system could face serious congestion and even overloading problems. In this paper, transmission line impedance adjustment techniques using distributed series reactance (DSR) is considered. The DSRs can be used to control power flow and alleviate overloading problems. A new term, DSR congestion relief factor, is introduced. The DSR congestion relief factor measures the increase of transmission line capacity with the application of DSRs. Parametric studies run on the IEEE 39-bus system are presented. These studies investigate the economic benefits of DSRs and the use of DSRs for single contingencies and compare DSRs with existing technologies for expanding the transmission system.

    Energy Saving of Conservation Voltage Reduction Based on Load-Voltage Dependency
    (MDPI Ag, 2016-08-15) Onen, Ahmet
    Reducing voltage to reduce energy consumption, referred to as conservation voltage reduction (CVR), can lead to energy savings. Calculating the effects of reducing voltage requires accurate load models. This paper investigates a load-voltage dependency factor that can be measured via field experiments using common existing instrumentation. A relationship between the load-voltage dependency factor and the percentage of the load that is constant impedance and the percentage that is constant power is presented. A new coordinated control algorithm using the load-voltage dependency factor measured by the field experiments is proposed. Parametric studies are presented which compare CVR with coordinated control versus traditional control. Across the two model comparisons of minimizing energy consumption, the coordinated control for conservation voltage reduction showed significant energy reduction over local control.

    Efficiency and Cost Evaluation of Distribution Systems Based on Multiple Time Points
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015-07) Onen, Ahmet
    Phase balancing can offer planning engineers a lowcost means of reducing operating costs, improving efficiency in electric power systems. In general, utilities make phase balancing based on peak load by thinking that is the worst case scenario, but every time is not the case. In this paper, time varying phase balancing algorithm is proposed to investigate the effect of hourly phase balancing for all year (8760 hour for a year) and also evaluate system efficiency and cost saving for all hours. Additionally, it is important for the planning engineers to estimate losses accurately to make phase moves, and the peak load does not always provide the most efficient phase moves among the hours in year. In this paper, there different scenarios will be compared; base case, phase balancing based on peak load, and hourly time varying phase balancing. These scenarios will be compared based on loss reduction, and cost saving with Locational Marginal Price (LMP) to provide the planning engineers ideas about effective power system planning. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
