Anomaly-Resistant Decentralized State Estimation Under Minimum Error Entropy With Fiducial Points for Wide-Area Power Systems

This paper investigates the anomaly-resistant decentralized state estimation(SE) problem for a class of wide-area power systems which are divided into several non-overlapping areas connected through transmission lines. Two classes of measurements(i.e., local measurements and edge measurements) are obtained, respectively, from the individual area and the transmission lines. A decentralized state estimator, whose performance is resistant against measurement with anomalies, is designed based on the minimum error entropy with fiducial points(MEEF) criterion. Specifically, 1) An augmented model, which incorporates the local prediction and local measurement, is developed by resorting to the unscented transformation approach and the statistical linearization approach;2) Using the augmented model, an MEEF-based cost function is designed that reflects the local prediction errors of the state and the measurement;and 3) The local estimate is first obtained by minimizing the MEEF-based cost function through a fixed-point iteration and then updated by using the edge measuring information. Finally, simulation experiments with three scenarios are carried out on the IEEE 14-bus system to illustrate the validity of the proposed anomaly-resistant decentralized SE scheme.

MEC-Empowered Non-Terrestrial Network for 6G Wide-Area Time-Sensitive Internet of Things

In the upcoming sixth-generation(6G)era,the demand for constructing a wide-area time-sensitive Internet of Things(IoT)continues to increase.As conventional cellular technologies are difficult to directly use for wide-area time-sensitive IoT,it is beneficial to use non-terrestrial infrastructures,including satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs).Thus,we can build a non-terrestrial network(NTN)using a cell-free architecture.Driven by the time-sensitive requirements and uneven distribution of IoT devices,the NTN must be empowered using mobile edge computing(MEC)while providing oasisoriented on-demand coverage for devices.Nevertheless,communication and MEC systems are coupled with each other under the influence of a complex propagation environment in the MEC-empowered NTN,which makes it difficult to coordinate the resources.In this study,we propose a process-oriented framework to design communication and MEC systems in a time-division manner.In this framework,large-scale channel state information(CSI)is used to characterize the complex propagation environment at an affordable cost,where a nonconvex latency minimization problem is formulated.Subsequently,the approximated problem is provided,and it can be decomposed into sub-problems.These sub-problems are then solved iteratively.The simulation results demonstrated the superiority of the proposed process-oriented scheme over other algorithms,implied that the payload deployments of UAVs should be appropriately predesigned to improve the efficiency of using resources,and confirmed that it is advantageous to integrate NTN with MEC for wide-area time-sensitive IoT.

Smart Grid Wide-Area Transmission System Visualization

The installation of vast quantities of additional new sensing and communication equipment, in conjunction with building the computing infrastructure to store and manage data gathered by this equipment, has been the fi rst step in the creation of what is generically referred to as the "smart grid" for the electric transmission system. With this enormous capital investment in equipment having been made, attention is now focused on developing methods to analyze and visualize this large data set. The most direct use of this large set of new data will be in data visualization. This paper presents a survey of some visualization techniques that have been deployed by the electric power industry for visualizing data over the past several years. These techniques include pie charts, animation, contouring, time-varying graphs, geographic-based displays, image blending, and data aggregation techniques. The paper then emphasizes a newer concept of using word-sized graphics called sparklines as an extremely eff ective method of showing large amounts of timevarying data.

Positioning with Wide-Area GNSS Networks: Concept and Application

The use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for positioning has revolutionized the way location data is be- ing collected. The NAVigation System with Time And Ranging Global Positioning System (GPS), which is a principal component of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS);is a satellite-based radio navigation system that provides positions of points of interest and time information to users. GPS positional accuracy can be improved by using differential corrections obtained through a technique called Differential GPS (DGPS), which is known to provide the most accurate positioning results. Differential correction can be applied in real time at the data collection phase or in the of- fice, at the post-processing phase. DGPS is generally used for positioning purposes through static or kinematics GPS surveys. In static GPS surveys, one receiver is placed at a point whose coordinates are known and the other receiver is placed over a point whose coordinates are desired. In kinematic surveys, one receiver remains at one point (base station) normally with known coordinates, and the other receiver (rover) moves from point to point in the project area. Kinematic surveys in which points positions are computed on-the-fly (OTF) are known as real-time kinematic (RTK). RTK surveys provide real-time locations of points of interest needed in many applications. Positioning with wide-area GNSS networks is basically based on the DGPS and RTK concepts. Observables from a network of a finite number of GPS receivers over an area are processed by a server at a central location (network server) and made available to the users of the network later or in real-time through radio-based, satellite, or wireless communications. This article provides a review of the concept and application of positioning with wide-area GNSS networks.

Power supply arm protection scheme of high-speed railway based on wide-area current differential

When fault occurs on cross-coupling autotransformer(AT)power supply traction network,the up-line and down-line feeder circuit breakers in the traction substation trip at the same time without selectivity,which leads to an extended power failure.Based on equivalent circuit and Kirchhoff’s current law,the feeder current characteristic in the substation,AT station and sectioning post when T-R fault,F-R fault,and T-F fault occur are analyzed and their expressions are obtained.When the traction power supply system is equipped with wide-area protection measurement and control system,the feeder protection device in each station collects the feeder currents in other two stations through the wide-area protection channel and a wide-area current differential protection scheme based on the feeder current characteristic is proposed.When a short-circuit fault occurs in the power supply arm,all the feeder protection devices in each station receive the feeder currents with time stamp in other two stations.After data synchronous processing and logic judgment,the fault line of the power supply arm can be identified and isolated quickly.The simulation result based on MATLAB/Simulink shows that the power supply arm protection scheme based on wide-area current differential has good fault discrimination ability under different fault positions,transition resistances,and fault types.The verification of measured data shows that the novel protection scheme will not be affected by the special working conditions of the electrical multiple unit(EMU),and reliability,selectivity,and rapidity of relay protection are all improved.

Sequential design and global optimization of local power system stabilizer and wide-area HVDC stabilizing controller

A sequential design and global optimization method is proposed to coordinately design local and widearea controllers to enhance the overall stability of largescale power system.The sequential design is used to assign the distributed local power system stabilizer (LPSS) and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) wide-area stabilizing controller (HVDC-WASC) to the concerned damping modes.The global optimization is used to simultaneously optimize all the overall control gains of LPSSs and HVDCWASC.Moreover,the optimization model,which has an adaptive ability of searching and updating dominant oscillation modes,is established.Both the linear analysis and nonlinear simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design method in enhancing the stability of large-scale power systems.

Unified Residue Method for Design of Compact Wide-area Damping Controller Based on Power System Stabilizer

A wide-area damping controller(WADC)is effective in damping inter-area low-frequency oscillation(LFO),if the time delay in a wide-area control loop can be properly handled.In order to simplify the WADC design and enlarge the delay adaptation range,the classic power system stabilizer(PSS)is adopted,and a new unified residue(UR)method is proposed for compact WADC design.The strategy of control loop selection is also improved by modifying the relative residue index based on a few dominant oscillation modes.The designed PSSbased compact WADC is as simple as classic PSS with no more than two lead-lag phase compensation units.Case studies are carried out on an IEEE 16-machine 68-bus power system.Simulation results demonstrate that the control loop selection before the WADC design is necessary and that the proposed selection strategy can easily pick out the suitable candidate control loops.In addition,it is feasible for the UR method to design WADCs with different time delays in the selected control loops.All the designed WADCs are effective in damping inter-area LFO and robust to time delay variations under operation conditions.Comparisons among five design methods for PSS-based WADC show that the proposed UR method is superior in delay adaptation,the conciseness of WADC structure and computation speed of parameters.

Wavelet-based data compression for wide-area measurement data of oscillations

This paper proposes a wavelet-based data compression method to compress the recorded data of oscillations in power systems for wide-area measurement systems. Actual recorded oscillations and simulated oscillations are compressed and reconstructed by the waveletbased data compression method to select the best wavelet functions and decomposition scales according to the criterion of the minimum compression distortion composite index, for a balanced consideration of compression performance and reconstruction accuracy. Based on the selections, the relationship between the oscillation frequency and the corresponding optimal wavelet and scale is discussed, and a piecewise linear model of the base-2 logarithm of the frequency and the order of the wavelet is developed, in which different pieces represent different scales. As a result, the wavelet function and decomposition scale can be selected according to the oscillation frequency. Compared with the wavelet-based data compression method with a fixed wavelet scale for disturbance signals and the real-time data compression method based on exception compression and swing door trending for oscillations, the proposed method can provide high compression ratios and low distortion rates.

Low-illumination image denoising method for wide-area search of nighttime sea surface

In order to suppress complex mixing noise in low-illumination images for wide-area search of nighttime sea surface,a model based on total variation(TV)and split Bregman is proposed in this paper.A fidelity term based on L1 norm and a fidelity term based on L2 norm are designed considering the difference between various noise types,and the regularization mixed first-order TV and second-order TV are designed to balance the influence of details information such as texture and edge for sea surface image.The final detection result is obtained by using the high-frequency component solved from L1 norm and the low-frequency component solved from L2 norm through wavelet transform.The experimental results show that the proposed denoising model has perfect denoising performance for artificially degraded and low-illumination images,and the result of image quality assessment index for the denoising image is superior to that of the contrastive models.

Wide-area nonlinear robust voltage control strategy for multi-machine power systems

This paper presented a novel wide-area nonlinear excitation control strategy for multi-machine power systems. A simple and effective model transformation method was proposed for the system's mathematical model in the COI (center of inertia) coordinate system. The system was transformed to an uncertain linear one where deviation of generator terminal voltage became one of the new state variables. Then a wide-area nonlinear robust voltage controller was designed utilizing a LMI (linear matrix inequality) based robust control theory. The proposed controller does not rely on any preselected system operating point, adapts to variations of network parameters and system operation conditions, and assures regulation accuracy of generator terminal voltages. Neither rotor angle nor any variable's differentiation needs to be measured for the proposed controller, and only terminal voltages, rotor speeds, active and reactive power outputs of generators are required. In addition, the proposed controller not only takes into account time delays of remote signals, but also eliminates the effect of wide-area information's incompleteness when not all generators are equipped with PMU (phase measurement unit). Detailed tests were conducted by PSCAD/EMTDC for a three-machine and four-machine power systems respectively, and simulation results illustrate high performance of the proposed controller.

The rapid development of communications industry has spawned more new services and applications.The sixth-generation wireless communication system(6G)network is faced with more stringent and diverse requirements.While ensuring performance requirements,such as high data rate and low latency,the problem of high energy consumption in the fifth-generation wireless communication system(5G)network has also become one of the problems to be solved in 6G.The wide-area coverage signaling cell technology conforms to the future development trend of radio access networks,and has the advantages of reducing network energy consumption and improving resource utilization.In wide-area coverage signaling cells,on-demand multi-dimensional resource allocation is an important technical means to ensure the ultimate performance requirements of users,and its effect will affect the efficiency of network resource utilization.This paper constructs a user-centric dynamic allocation model of wireless resources,and proposes a deep Q-network based dynamic resource allocation algorithm.The algorithm can realize dynamic and flexible admission control and multi-dimensional resource allocation in wide-area coverage signaling cells according to the data rate and latency demands of users.According to the simulation results,the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the average user experience on a long time scale,and ensure network users a high data rate and low energy consumption.

Robust PCA for Ground Moving Target Indication in Wide-Area Surveillance Radar System

Robust PCA has found important applications in many areas,such as video surveillance,face recognition,latent semantic indexing and so on.In this paper,we study its application in ground moving target indication(GMTI)in wide-area surveillance radar system.MTI is the key task in wide-area surveillance radar system.Due to its great importance in future reconnaissance systems,it attracts great interest from scientists.In(Yan et al.in IEEE Geosci.Remote Sens.Lett.,10:617–621,2013),the authors first introduced robust PCA to model the GMTI problem,and demonstrate promising simulation results to verify the advantages over other models.However,the robust PCA model can not fully describe the problem.As pointed out in(Yan et al.in IEEE Geosci.Remote Sens.Lett.,10:617–621,2013),due to the special structure of the sparse matrix(which includes the moving target information),there will be difficulties for the exact extraction of moving targets.This motivates our work in this paper where we will detail the GMTI problem,explore the mathematical properties and discuss how to set up better models to solve the problem.We propose two models,the structured RPCA model and the row-modulus RPCA model,both of which will better fit the problem and take more use of the special structure of the sparse matrix.Simulation results confirm the improvement of the proposed models over the one in(Yan et al.in IEEE Geosci.Remote Sens.Lett.,10:617–621,2013).

Optimal Coordinated Operation of Distributed Static Series Compensators for Wide-area Network Congestion Relief

Relieving network congestions is a critical goal for the safe and flexible operation of modern power systems, especially in the presence of intermittent renewables or distributed generation. This paper deals with the real-time coordinated operation of distributed static series compensators(DSSCs) to remove network congestions by suitable modifications of the branch reactance. Several objective functions are considered and discussed to minimize the number of the devices involved in the control actions, the total losses or the total reactive power exchanged, leading to a non-convex mixed-integer non-linear programming problem. Then, a heuristic methodology combining the solution of a regular NLP with k-means clustering algorithm is proposed to get rid of the binary variables, in an attempt to reduce the computational cost. The proposed coordinated operation strategy of the DSSCs is tested on several benchmark systems, providing feasible and sufficiently optimal solutions in a reasonable time frame for practical systems.

An adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection scheme for transmission lines protection

Maloperation of conventional relays is becoming prevalent due to ever increase in complexity of conventional power grids.They are dominant during power system contingencies like power swing,load encroachment,voltage instability,unbalanced loading,etc.In these situations,adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection(ASWABP)plays a major role in enhancing the power system reliability.A balance between security and dependability of protection is essential to maintain the reliability.This paper proposes multi-phasor measurement units(MPMU)based ASWABP scheme that can function effectively during faults besides power system contingencies.MPMU is an extended version of Phasor Measurement Unit(PMU).It is an intelligent electronic device which estimates the synchronized predominant harmonic phasors(100Hz and 150Hz)along with the fundamental phasors(50Hz)of three phase voltages and currents with high precision.The proposed ASWABP scheme can detect the fault,identify the parent bus,determine the faulty branch and classify the faults using MPMU measurements at System Protection Center(SPC).Based on these MPMU measurements(received at phasor data concentrator(PDC)at SPC)the appropriate relays will be supervised to enhance the overall reliability of the power grid.Numerous case studies are conducted on WSCC-9 bus and IEEE-14 bus systems to illustrate the security and dependability attributes of proposed ASWABP scheme in MATLAB/Simulink environment.Also,comparative studies are performed with the existing conventional distance protection(Mho relays)for corroborating the superiority of the proposed scheme regarding security and dependability.Comparative studies have shown that the proposed scheme can be used as adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection of conventional distance protection.

Delay-dependent Wide-area Damping Controller Synthesis Approach Using Jensen’s Inequality and Evolution Algorithm

A time-delay-dependent wide-area damping controller synthesis approach,based on Jensen’s integral inequality and evolution algorithm,is developed to suppress the adverse effect of time delay on the supplemental control of high-voltage direct current(DC)transmission systems.Initially,the state-space model of hybrid AC/DC systems with time delay is derived and the delay-dependent criteria for the stability of the closed-loop system are provided based on Jensen’s integral inequality.Subsequently,initial solutions are randomly generated to overcome the difficulty of solving the nonlinear matrix inequality.Finally,the time-delay stability upper bound of the controller is optimized using the differential evolution algorithm.In comparison to popular time-delay stable controller design methods,such as the free-weighting-matrix approach,the proposed method based on output feedback realization requires fewer decision variables and is more suitable for large-scale hybrid AC/DC systems.Three examples are introduced to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
