Commande multimodèle optimale des éoliennes : application à la participation des éoliennes au réglage de la fréquence / Multimodel optimal controller for wind turbines : application to the participation of the wind turbines in the frequency controlKhezami, Nadhira 17 October 2011 (has links)
La forte et rapide croissance de l’énergie éolienne à travers le monde a nécessité la mise en vigueur de nouveaux critères normalisés permettant de l’intégrer dans les réseaux électriques sans affecter la qualité et la stabilité du système, et qui peuvent demander aux éoliennes de participer au réglage de la fréquence dans les réseaux en cas de besoin. Ainsi, les travaux présentés dans cette thèse visent à proposer une solution de loi de commande qui permette aux éoliennes de participer au réglage de la fréquence du réseau. En analysant les limites des correcteurs classiques de types P, PI et PID, nous avons opté pour la commande LQ munie d’une approche multimodèle et qui a montré de bonnes performances aux résultats de simulation. Certaines améliorations ont été ajoutées à cette loi de commande du genre modèle de référence, action intégrale, … afin de permettre une poursuite de puissance autour d’une référence donnée qui change selon la fréquence du réseau / The fast and big growth of wind power around the world required the implementation of new standardized criteria to integrate this kind of energy into electric networks without affecting the quality and stability of the system. These criteria could ask the wind turbines to participate in the network frequency control when necessary. Thus, the works presented in this thesis aim to provide a control law solution that allows wind turbines to participate the grid frequency control. By analyzing the limits of traditional regulators such as P, PI and PID, we opted for the LQ controller combined to a multi-model approach because of the good performances shown in the simulation results. Some improvements were added to this control law: reference model, integral action, ... to allow a power trucking for a given reference that changes with the grid frequency

Subwoofer Placement In a Small Control RoomLindström, Liv January 2017 (has links)
Low frequencies in small rooms are a problem that can affect the sound quality and therefore give an impaired listening experience if not treated. Even the slightest change of the subwoofer position can make a difference. Measurements have been made for two different subwoofer positions in a small control room, called the original and the alternative position. The original position represents the position that is normally used for the chosen control room. The alternative position was selected by measuring the position that had the flattest frequency response. The positions were tested with listening tests by 20 audio engineering students to see what differences existed between the two. The result shows that the original position was perceived to have more bass, which could be connected to the measurements. The subjects also showed that they could agree on the meaning of three of the given attributes used for the listening tests. If a flatter frequency response is wanted for the chosen control room, the alternative position is an option.

Operation of battery energy storage system for frequency control of hydropower operated in island modeHallblad, Amanda January 2020 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to analyse how a battery energy storage system (BESS) can support the frequency and voltage stability for an islanded microgrid containing a hydropower plant. Two different microgrids, both situated in Sweden, are evaluated. Modelling and dynamic simulations are conducted in the PowerFactory tool. The result shows that both the frequency and the voltage control can be improved with the BESS. However, with the allowed limit of ± 1 Hz, not all simulated scenarios including a BESS meets the requirement. A large difference between the BESS and generator capacity might be a possible cause for this. By dividing the larger loads so that smaller loads are attained, the frequency deviation might be reduced. Furthermore, by adjusting the systems PID-parameters according to the island mode operation, faster regulation can be attained. The system operates according to the Master slave control strategy, with the hydropower being the master unit with voltage control and the BESS being a slave unit with PQ control. The ability to operate an islanded microgrid can ensure the supply of electricity to inhabitants and vital functions in society. By utilizing a BESS for increasing electric stability, emission of CO2 is indirectly mitigated. As cost for BESS are expected to decrease rapidly, they will be accessible for utilization all over the world.

Industrial Demand Response in the Primary Reserve Markets : A case study on Holmen’s Pulp and Paper MillTomasini, Federica January 2019 (has links)
This thesis stems from the interest of Holmen group to investigate the opportunitiesavailable for large electricity consumers in the Swedish primary reserve markets.The study performed focuses on one of Holmen's paper mill and it aims at identifyinga load inside the production process that is suitable for providing frequency containmentservices for the grid. The evaluation of the mill's consumption prole and the technicalrequirements of the reserve market led to the identication of the electric boiler coupledwith a steam accumulator as the most appropriate load.Five case study simulating the participation of the mill to dierent energy and reservemarkets have been evaluated. For each case a linear optimization problem has beenformulated. The rst simulation represents the current practice of the mill in relation tothe energy purchased on the spot market (following it will be also referred as referencecase). The second case study (II c.s.) integrates the use of the steam accumulator asa tool to perform thermal load shifting. In the third case study (III c.s.) the mill ismodelled to bid on the spot and primary reserve market by oering some capacity ofthe electric boiler. The last two case studies (IV and V c.s.) recalls the rst and lastpreviously mentioned, but also include the possibility of having energy imbalance. Thismeans that the imbalance settlement operated by eSett will produce an additional costor prot for the mill.The last three problem formulations fall under the denition of stochastic problems,since two random variable are present, namely: average hourly frequency value andimbalance settlement price. The uncertainty of the variables is represented throughscenarios.The outcome derived from the combination of the results for the winter and summercases shows that each strategy brings an economic saving when compared to the referencecase (I c.s.). The less interesting strategies are the ones that do not involve the reservemarket, leading to about 0.03% (II c.s.) and 0.06% (IV c.s.) of saving on the overallyearly energy cost. Contrariwise, by oering FCR-N capacity, the cost of electricitycan be cut by 5.15% (III c.s.) and 6.69% (V c.s.), respectively considering and notconsidering the imbalance settlement. / Avhandlingen har sitt ursprung i skogsindustrikoncernen Holmens intresse att undersökamöjligheten för stora elförbrukare att delta på den svenska primär-reservmarknaden. Studien som utförts fokuserar på ett av Holmens pappersbruk och syftar till att identifiera en elektrisk process som, inom bruksgränserna, är lämplig för att tillhandahålla frekvensregleringstjänster till det nationella nätet. En utvärdering av brukets elförbrukning samt de tekniska krav som ställs på reservmarknaden ledde till att en elektrisk panna med tillkopplad ångackumulator identifierades som mest lämplig.Fem budstrategier som simulerar brukets deltagande till olika energioch reservmarknader har presenterats. För varje strategi är ett linjärt optimeringsproblem formulerat. Den första strategin visar på nuvarande sätt bruket köper elektricitet på spotmarknaden. Den andra strategin integrerar användning av ångackumulatorn som ett verktyg för att utföra termisk lastskiftning. I den tredje modelleras deltagande också på primärreservmarknaden genom att erbjuda en viss kapacitet hos elpannan. De två sista strategierna baseras på den första och tredje, men tillåter i tillägg obalanser vilket innebär en extra kostnad eller möjlig intjäning för bruket.De tre sista problemformuleringarna faller under definitionen stokastiska problem, eftersom två slumpmässiga variabler är närvarande, nämligen: genomsnittligt timfrekvensvärde och priset för obalans. Osäkerheten för variablerna representeras genom scenarier.Resultatet visar att varje strategi ger en ekonomisk besparing jämfört med refer-ensfallet (strategi ett). De mindre intressanta strategierna är de som inte involverarreservmarknaden, vilka endast leder till ca 0,03% och 0,06% minskning av den totalaårliga energikostnaden. Däremot, genom att erbjuda FCR-N-kapacitet kan kostnaden för el minskas med 6,69% och 5,15% beroende s eller ej.

Cyberattack Evaluation of Cloud-controlled Energy Storage / Utvärdering av cyberattacker mot molnstyrda energilagringssystemOscarsson, Joakim, Öhrström, Frans January 2024 (has links)
The demand for electricity is rising rapidly, with more power generated through re-newable energy sources. Renewable energy sources can fluctuate in their power output atshort notice, making it more difficult to maintain the balance between electricity consump-tion and production in the short term. A solution that has gained increased interest recentlyis to connect battery energy storage systems to the grid as a means of maintaining balance.However, such systems are often controlled remotely by a cloud control system, creatingtime-critical control loops over the internet that are partly responsible for the stability andcontinued function of the electrical grid. Cyberattacks against these closed-loop systemscould devastate the electrical grid and the apparatus connected to it.In this thesis, a reference model is designed for an electrical grid load-balancing cloudcontrol system connected to remote battery energy storage systems and remote grid fre-quency sensors (measuring the balance between production and consumption). The modelis evaluated from a cybersecurity perspective by implementing a simulator and applyingdifferent cyberattacks on the simulated system.The results show that some of the most critical attack methods that a threat actor couldutilize are: disrupting the connections over the internet that are part of the closed-loopsystem, abusing remote access links from the outside to gain access to subsystems (suchas seizing control of batteries), or disturbing external dependencies to the cloud such asdomain name system (DNS) and network time protocol (NTP) servers or the contractsrelated to electricity trading. The most important cyberattacks identified in the thesis are:time delay switch (delays of messages), denial of service (disturbing message availability),false data injection (modifying message contents), replay (replaying old messages), andload altering (affecting the grid balance through direct altering of electricity consumptionand production).The simulated cyberattacks differ in how they affect the grid frequency, i.e. the gridproduction-consumption balance. Large enough network packet delays caused oscilla-tions in the simulated frequency. Denial of service attacks caused unpredictable behavior,and a high enough packet drop rate caused oscillations. For false data injection, the re-sults depend on which internet link was attacked and what injection strategy was used;some attacks caused oscillations, while others caused a steady state error or even an in-creasingly deviating frequency. Replay attacks were able to cause a deviation during thereplay window when used effectively. Finally, large enough load altering caused oscilla-tions, especially when an attacker had control over at least 15% of the system’s balancingpower.Overall, attacks on the simulated system are serious and precautions must be carefullyconsidered before such a system is implemented in the real world.

Förbrukningsflexibilitetens potential och påverkan på kraftsystemet : Med fokus på automatisk frekvensreglering genom styrning av kylskåp / The potential of demand response and its impact on the power system : With focus on fridges as automatic frequency control reservesLy, Sandra, Thell, Linda January 2015 (has links)
Increased use of variable energy and integration of electricity markets in the European Union have led to new challenges when balancing supply and demand in the grid. Load management is a possible way to manage these challenges by adjusting electricity consumption in order to balance the power system. Household appliances can be used for this purpose, for example by providing automatic frequency control. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate the potential of load management from private households and to examine how the power system is affected by a more flexible electricity consumption. The thesis focuses on fridges as automatic frequency control reserves and the ability of fridges to balance the power system. Attributes such as capacity, activation time, persistence and the effect of load reconnection has been modelled in Simulink, Matlab. Complementary interviews with actors from the electricity industry have been done to summarize their insights on demand response. The results indicate that fridges can be used as a part of the automatic frequency controlled reserve FCR-N, based on assumptions made in this study. However, current requirements imposed on balancing resources are not fully met by the fridges. In order for household appliances to provide the needed flexibility, some requirements might need to be rephrased. The results also show that the capacity for providing balancing services differs for positive and negative imbalances, as consumption can be reduced with 30 MW and increased with 66 MW. When controlling the fridges by moving the reference temperature, there is a risk that the appliances will synchronize with each other, i.e. reconnect or disconnect at the same time, resulting in frequency oscillations. It is therefore important that load management is designed to avoid this kind of behavior.

Contribution à l’étude des architectures de radiocommunications à références d’horloges hautes fréquences : application des résonateurs BAW à la génération de fréquence de référence dans les systèmes de communication mobile / High-frequency reference clock for radio-communication architectures : application of BAW resonators for reference frequency generation in mobile communication systemsGuillot, Pierre 17 October 2011 (has links)
Ces travaux de thèse portent principalement sur la génération de signal d'horloge haute fréquence. Dans un premier temps, la faisabilité d'un oscillateur à base de BAW y est démontrée par la conception d'un circuit en technologie CMOS 65 nm. Les deux principales innovations sont les performances en terme de stabilité (bruit de phase de -128dBc/Hz à 100kHz de la porteuse) et en précision (implémentation d'une banque de capacités ayant un pas de 0.4ppm) de l'oscillateur. Sa consommation est optimisée (0.9mW). Il est suivi d'un diviseur faible bruit (-140dBc/Hz à 100kHz de la porteuse) délivrant un signal à 500MHz. Dans un second temps, les imperfections des résonateurs BAW sont analysées. Une procédure de calibration comprenant une calibration initiale et une calibration en boucle ouverte est alors proposée. Cette dernière repose sur l'identification et l'utilisation d'un modèle comportemental du dispositif, régulièrement mis à jour grâce à un filtre de Kalman. Une précision de 0.4 ppm est atteinte / This thesis deals with the gigahertz range reference frequency generation. In a first part, this document presents the design of a 500 MHz oscillator in a 65 nm CMOS process using a 2 GHz Bulk Acoustic Wave resonator. A digital frequency control is implemented using a switched capacitor bank in parallel to the resonator. The tuning range is up to 500 kHz with a minimum step of 200 Hz. The oscillator core uses a differential topology and is designed for low phase noise (-128 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset) at low power consumption (0.9 mW). It is followed by a low noise divider which provides a 500 MHz output with a phase noise of -139 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset from the carrier. In a second part, we consider a method for the calibration of a BAW based frequency reference. In fact, the frequency variations of a BAW oscillator against process, supply, temperature and aging effects make difficult its use as a frequency reference. We propose here a method based on Kalman filtering to identify with high precision a behavioral model of this BAW reference, thus enabling its use in an open loop frequency tuning. A precision of 0.4 ppm is achieved

Effects of interference on carrier tracking in fading and symbol synchronizationEmad, Amin 11 1900 (has links)
Synchronization is a very important part of every digital communication receiver. While in bandpass coherent transmission, frequency and phase synchronization play a very important role in reliable transmission, symbol timing recovery is a necessary part of every baseband and bandpass coherent receiver. This dissertation deals with the problem of synchronization in the presence of fading and interference.
First, the performance of an automatic frequency control loop is investigated using two parameters of average switching rate and mean time to loss of lock. These parameters are derived in closed-form or as integral-form formulas for different scenarios of modulated and unmodulated signals in different fading channels when there is one interference signal present at the input of the AFC. Then, the results are generalized to the noisy fading scenario and it is shown that in Rayleigh fading case, the performance of AFC becomes better when the desired signal is noisier.
In the second part, the problem of symbol timing recovery is investigated in systems that are subject to intersymbol interference and non-data-aided maximum likelihood synchronizer is derived in these channels. Then, a new simple bound on the performance of synchronizers is derived and compared to the previously known lower bounds. It is shown that while this lower bound solves the shortcomings of the well known modified Cramer-Rao bound at small values of signal-to-noise-ratio, it is much easier to compute compared to another well known bound, the detection theory bound. / Communications
