    ABSTRACT COST-EFFECTIVE SCHEDULING OF LOAD AND MICROGRID IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT By Wentao Zou The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee,2018 Under the Supervision of Dr. Lingfeng Wang As a big consumer of energy, water and wastewater treatment used about 75000 to 100000 GWh electricity, which accounts for nearly 3% of U.S. annual energy [1]. Not only being energy-intensive, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) also consumes a lot of electricity during peak hours, which makes WWTP a good candidate of DR (demand response). The main purpose of demand response is to improve the stability of the electric grid and reduce the use of electricity during peak period to lower the total system costs. Two kinds of strategies can be utilized to reduce electrical loads during peak periods, which are load shifting and load shedding. Load shedding strategy is to reduce the total electrical load during demand response event and load shifting is to reschedule the time of some electrical load to partial-peak or off-peak hours. In this work, both of them are used to reach a better financial benefit. The process and energy consumption of WWTP have been analyzed. It is found that the aeration in secondary treatment and pumps for wastewater pumping and sludge pumping are two main processes which consume the majority of total electric power. Based on shifting loads of aerations and pumps, a load shifting model is formulated to shift load from on-peak hours to off-peak hours. Several constraints have been taken into consideration such the storage capacity, maximum holding time of wastewater when it stays in storage tanks, maximum treatment capacity of WWTP, etc. This model can effectively reduce the annual electricity cost while the quality of effluent and the reliability of WWTP are not compromised. In the case study analysis, 22% cost reduction is achieved by using the load shifting model. A software tool has also been developed to help users calculate the amount of cost they can save when the load shifting model is applied. The software tool is user friendly and easy to use. The influent data and electricity price data need to be loaded by users, and some kinds of parameters need to be typed in depending on different situations. For instance, the size of the WWTP and the capacity of storage tank need to be loaded. In addition to demand response, WWTP can save more money with the help of a microgrid. A microgrid is a smaller version of traditional power grid which can provide backup power to WWTP so that the power generated by a microgrid can be used during on-peak hours or sold back to the main grid if possible. A microgrid can also increase the reliability of WWTP. As a discrete energy system with distributed energy sources, a microgrid can operate in parallel with or independently from the main power grid. This feature of the microgrid makes sure WWTP can still receive reliable energy when no electricity can be provided by the main grid. A microgrid model is developed. A battery bank is also involved in the formulation. Constraints including microgrid capacity, charge and discharge efficiency of battery bank, and battery capacity have been considered. The method used to solve this formulation is particle swarm optimization (PSO). A detailed description of the problem-solving process has been displayed step by step. The case study shows the microgrid model can increase the cost reduction further to 29% of total energy expense based on the load shifting model.2019-06-0

    Internal Fault Diagnosis of MMC-HVDC Based on Classification Algorithms in Machine Learning

    No full text
    With the development of the HVDC system, MMC-HVDC is now the most advanced technology that has been put into use. In power systems, faults happen during the operation due to natural reasons or devices physical issues, which would cause serious economic losses and other implications. Thus, fault detection and analysis are extremely important, especially in the HVDC system. Existing works in literature mainly focus on the faults detection and analysis on the system side such as short circuit of the AC side, and open circuit of the DC side. However, little attention has been paid to the fault detection and analysis inside the converters. With the technology development of converter devices, replacing the whole converter becomes more expensive. Thus, my research mainly focuses on the detection and classification of the faults within the internal of the MMC module. In this research, an SPS model of MMC-HVDC is built as the example. Faults including short circuit and open circuit located inside the MMC module are simulated. Machine learning algorithms are chosen as the tool to achieve the goal of detecting faults and locating the fault position inside the MMC module precisely. After comparing the basic characteristics and properly application situations of various methods of machine learning, Coarse KNN, Complex Tree and Bagged Tree (Random Forest) are deployed to solve the problem. The performance of the methods are analyzed and compared, to get the most proper method in solving the problem.2020-06-1

    Model Predictive Control for Mitigating Sensor Attacks on Multilevel Inverters

    No full text
    Nowadays, multilevel power inverters have become a hot research topic which are being widely used in smart grids. They are also driving devices for conveyors, compressors, motors, and can enable uninterruptible power supply for critical loads such as database centers or telecommunications base stations. In the future, smart grids will play an important role to achieve higher efficiency, smarter control and better performance. Such an ambitious goal can only be achieved by inverters with higher voltage and power levels. The smart grids are the typical cyber-physical systems that is composed of physical processes and computation units combined by sensors, actuators, and communication devices. The smart grids are apt to errors and vicious attacks on their physical construction leading to considerable damage, such as false data injection (FDI), denial of service (DOS). The vicious data injection can effectively bypass the detection of system and cause serious effects on the grid. In recent years, some advanced control approaches have been proposed to perform inverter current control. Among them, model predictive control (MPC) is a promising one that makes use of explicit system models to predict its future response and optimize system performance. It has unique advantages that can accurately forecast the future response of the system and have fast response. However, the effectiveness and the accuracy of the conventional MPC rely on whether the system model is accurate. Uncertainty and false data injection in the system model sometimes lead to unresponsive or even unstable control systems. Conventional MPC is hard to keep the system stable when the uncertainty and malicious attack happen. In existing studies, although various attacks have been investigated, the undetectable false data injection aiming at the inverter system was rarely studied. In the thesis, the model of the cascaded H-bridge inverter is established and conventional MPC to achieve load current control is applied. It shows great performance to achieve load current control and has fast dynamic control. Then considering various attack signals such as step attack signals, pulse attack signals to the sensors in the system, the conventional MPC loses the ability to achieve a stable and effective current control. According to simulation results, Kalman Filter model is built which can filter some Gaussian noises from the sensors in the system. Then from the perspective of attacker, a special FDI attack is designed that can effectively bypass the Kalman Filter. For the system that targeted by the FDI and DOS attack, a new controller is designed based on the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm and MPC strategy which can achieve the load current control with high output quality. Finally, the new control method based on KNN and MPC is compared with conventional MPC. The simulation results are analyzed and conclusion have been made. A modified MPC combined with KNN algorithm proposed in this thesis can detect bad data that can enter the system without triggering alarms. The case studies show the modified MPC based on KNN algorithm can achieve current control accurately when the system is injected by various attack signals showing better performance of current control with low total harmonic distortion (THD).2020-06-0

    Large Scale Integration of Electric Vehicles into the Power Grid and Its Potential Effects on Power System Reliability

    No full text
    In this thesis, the potential effects of large scale integration of electric vehicles into the power grid are discussed in both the beneficial and detrimental aspects. The literature review gives a comprehensive introduction about the existing smart charging algorithms. According to the system structure and market mechanism, the smart charging algorithms can be divided into centralized and distributed method. With the knowledge of driving patterns and charging characteristics of electric vehicles, both the centralized and decentralized smart charging algorithms are studied in this research. Based on the smart charging pricing and sequential price update mechanism, a multi-agent based distributed smart charging algorithm is used in this research to flatten the load curve and therefore mitigate the potential detrimental effects caused by uncoordinated charging. Each EV agent has some extent of intelligence to solve its own charging scheduling problem. The optimization method used in this research is the binary hybrid GSA-PSO algorithm, which combines the merits of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA), and has very good exploration and exploitation abilities. A V2G enabled centralized smart charging algorithm is also introduced in this thesis, each EV can earn revenues by discharging power into the grid. The dominant search matrix is used to resolve the ''curse of dimensionality'' problem existing in the centralized optimization problems. Numerical case studies show both the distributed and V2G enabled smart charging algorithms can effectively transfer the charging load from the peak load period to the load valley hours. Because of the limited integration ratio of electric vehicles, most power system reliability methods do not evaluate the charging load of EVs separately in their analytical procedures. However, with a fast increasing integration level, the potential effects of large scale integration of EVs on the power system reliability should be comprehensively evaluated. The effects of EV charging on power system reliability in the planning phase is analyzed in this research based on the RBTS. The results show the uncontrolled charging will deteriorate the reliability level while the smart charging can effectively decrease the detrimental effect. The potential application of aggregated EV providing operating reserve to the grid as a kind of ancillary service is also discussed, and the related effects on power system reliability in operating phase are calculated using the modified PJM method. The case study shows the unit commitment risk of the system can decrease to a very low level with the additional operating reserve capacity provided by aggregated EVs, which can not only improve the system's reliability level but also save the cost.2018-06-0
