AC Network State Estimation Using Linear Measurement Functions
, IET Journal Generation, Transmission and Distribution, Vol: 2, Pages: 1-6The real/reactive power and current magnitude measurements can be accounted for in an AC network state estimator using linear measurement functions. The nonlinearity in the conventional AC state estimator equations is transferred from the measurement functions into a system of nonlinear equality constraints which is independent of the measurement set. The new format of equations entails two advantages. First, it can be easily integrated in optimisation routines which employ first- and second-order derivative functions. Second, the linear measurement functions can benefit from scaling techniques which are well documented in the linear programming literature. This research details the implementation of a least absolute value state estimator employing the new format of equations. The optimisation method is based on a primal-dual interior-point method that can accurately account for zero injection measurements and power directions. Numerical testing is used to validate the approach for networks with measurement sets that are (i) conventional and (ii) have a high proportion of current magnitude measurements and power signs.

Intermittent renewable generation and maintaining power system reliability
, Generation, Transmission & Distribution, Vol: 2, Pages: 82-89, ISSN: 1751-8687There have been attempts, using various approaches, to assess the additional cost of running an electricity system when intermittent renewable generation is used to provide a significant proportion of the energy. The key issues are the difference, in statistical terms, between the resource availability of the intermittent source and conventional generation and the contribution the intermittent source can make to meet the system peak demand while maintaining system reliability. There is considerable agreement over the capacity credits that can be attributed to renewable energy sources, that is the amount of conventional capacity that renewables can reliablydisplace, yet the implications for costs have proved more controversial. Approaches to calculate changes in overall system cost are examined and an expression for the additional cost that intermittent generation imposes on a system that is attributable to its intermittent nature is identified. Further, it is shown that this expression can be reconciled with approaches that look at intermittent renewables on a stand-alone basis and factor in the additional costs of ‘standby’ capacity. It is shown that the main source of divergence between estimates of the cost of intermittency is the load factor implicitly assumed for the conventional plant used as a reference. There is only one consistent way to impute the costs of intermittency when the unit cost of intermittent plant is being compared with that of baseload generation plant.

Computation of a reference model for robust fault detection and isolation residual generation
, Journal of Control Science and Engineering, Vol: 2008, Pages: 1-12, ISSN: 1687-5249This paper considers matrix inequality procedures to address the robust fault detection and isolation (FDI) problem for linear time-invariant systems subject to disturbances, faults, and polytopic or norm-bounded uncertainties.We propose a design procedure for an FDI filter that aims to minimize a weighted combination of the sensitivity of the residual signal to disturbances and modeling errors, and the deviation of the faults to residual dynamics from a fault to residual reference model, using the H∞-norm as a measure. A key step in our procedure is the design of an optimal fault reference model. We show that the optimal design requires the solution of a quadratic matrix inequality (QMI) optimization problem. Since the solution of the optimal problem is intractable, we propose a linearization technique to derive a numerically tractable suboptimal design procedure that requires the solution of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization. A jet engine example is employed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Control of the transition to long-term nonprogressor in tristable HIV dynamics.
, Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc, Vol: 2008, Pages: 4940-4944, ISSN: 2375-7477The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), is a dynamic process that can be modeled via differential equations. In this paper we apply a control strategy to boost the immune response for a tristable HIV dynamic model. The purpose of this control method is to steer the system to an equilibrium condition known as long-term nonprogressor, which corresponds to an infected patient that does not develop the symptoms of AIDS. The control strategy is implemented by controlled drug scheduling based on the understanding of the immune boosting mechanism. The feasibility of the methodology is illustrated via simulations.
