“…In conventional DN simulation, the substation voltage is assumed fixed, thus TN's impact on substation is neglected. There have been some recent attempts to develop T-D co-simulation methods and platforms [144]- [146] but there is still a large scope of customizing utilizing these platforms for the concerned DER Volt/Var application.…”

In this paper, we review the emerging challenges and research opportunities for voltage control in smart grids. For transmission grids, the voltage control for accommodating wind and solar power, fault-induced delayed voltage recovery (FIDVR), and measurement-based Thévenin equivalent for voltage stability analysis are reviewed. For distribution grids, the impact of high penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) is analyzed, typical control strategies are reviewed, and the challenges for local inverter Volt-Var control is discussed. In addition, the motivation, state-of-art, and future directions of the coordination of transmission system operators (TSO) and distribution system operators (DSO) are also thoroughly discussed.

This study presents an open-source software platform specifically tailored to permit careful dynamic performance evaluation of transactive energy designs for end-to-end electric power systems. The platform models a centrally-managed wholesale power market operating over a transmission grid linked to one or more distribution systems, where each distribution system consists of a collection of grid-edge resources operating over a distribution grid. Test case findings are presented to illustrate the capabilities of the platform. The test cases implement a transmission system linked to a distribution system populated by households that have smart price-responsive appliances as well as conventional loads. Transactions at the distribution level are conducted in accordance with a well-known bid-based transactive energy design known as the PowerMatcher.

“…According to Table 1, both DG‐based and the protection system (PS)‐based strategies can be implemented in an offline 15,22‐24 or online 8,25‐30 manner. In the offline methods, the coordination of protection devices is ensured in sizing and siting of DGs in the planning stage 6,31‐33 or output of DGs in operation stage 8,34‐36 . However, these methods may limit the penetration of DGs which in turn result in dissatisfaction of consumers and DG owners.…”

Summary Developing micro‐grids and increasing penetration of distributed generation (DG) bring significant techno‐economic benefits to power systems. However, the presence of DG can affect the performance of the protection system. In particular, the coordination of over‐current protection relays in the presence of DGs is a challenging task. In this article, an adaptive algorithm is proposed for protection coordination of over‐current relays. Once the coordination of relays is disturbed due to the presence of DG, the characteristic curve of the backup relay is adaptively modified based on the characteristic curve of the main relay in such a way that the coordination time interval (CTI) be in the acceptable range and therefore the coordination of relays is maintained. The proposed algorithm can maintain the coordination of over‐current relays locally only by controlling current parameter of backup relay and without imposing any restriction on the output power of DGs. Therefore, the proposed protection coordination scheme allows system operators and DG owners to exploit DG benefits without concerning about protection aspects related to the presence of DGs. The efficiency and applicability of the proposed method are validated using simulations on a typical industrial 20 kV radial distribution system. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can maintain the CTI of the main and backup relays in an acceptable range for various penetration levels of DGs.
