| Optimizing High-Voltage Direct Current Transmission Corridors: Dynamic Thermal Line Rating for Enhanced Renewable Generation and Greenhouse Gas Emission ReductionsT06-P02 University of Alberta | Publication | 2024-05-11 | |
| Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Operation of Transmission Battery Storage with Dynamic Thermal Line RatingIt is well known that dynamic thermal line rating has the potential to use power transmission infrastructure more effectively by allowing higher currents when lines are cooler; however, it is not commonly implemented. Some of the barriers to implementation can be mitigated using modern battery energy storage systems. This paper proposes a combination of dynamic thermal line rating and battery use through the application of deep reinforcement learning. In particular, several algorithms based on deep deterministic policy gradient and soft actor critic are examined, in both single- and multi-agent settings. The selected algorithms are used to control battery energy storage systems in a 6-bus test grid. The effects of load and transmissible power forecasting on the convergence of those algorithms are also examined. The soft actor critic algorithm performs best, followed by deep deterministic policy gradient, and their multi-agent versions in the same order. One-step forecasting of the load and ampacity does not provide any significant benefit for predicting battery action.T06-P05 University of Alberta | Publication | 2022-11-29 | |

| Towards A Scalable DAG-based Distributed Ledger for Smart CommunitiesIn recent years, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has been playing a more and more important role in building trust and security for Internet of Things (IoT). However, the unacceptable performance of the current mainstream DLT systems such as Bitcoin can hardly meet the efficiency and scalability requirements of IoT. In this paper, we propose a scalable transactive smart homes infrastructure by leveraging a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based DLT and following the separation of concerns (SOC) design principle. Based on the proposed solution, an experiment with 40 Home Nodes is conducted to prove the concepts. From the results, we find that our solution provides a high transaction speed and scalability, as well as good performance on security and micropayment which are important in IoT settings. Then, we conduct an analysis and discuss how the new system breaks out the well-known Trilemma, which claims that it is hard for a DLT platform to simultaneously reach decentralization, scalability and security. Finally, we conclude that the proposed DAG-based distributed ledger is an effective solution for building an IoT infrastructure for smart communities.T06-Q01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-02-01 | Caixiang (Stephen) Fan, Sara Ghaemi, Hamzeh Khazaei, Musilek, P. |

| Predicting Weather-related Power Outages in Distribution GridImprovements in monitoring and data collection practices provide opportunities for more comprehensive modelling and managing grid operations. At the same time, advanced data analysis methods should be able to address service quality degradation due to outages, weather patterns and asset-related performance.In this paper, we apply Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence methods for the analysis of power distribution system data and constructing a system for predicting power outages. Weather and outage data are utilized by the proposed system for predicting purposes. We evaluate the prediction performance of different types of prediction models. We also propose and validate three different architectures of a system for predicting types of weather-related outages. We focus on outages caused by wind, snow and ice. An analysis of the prediction results is provided.T06-P02 University of Alberta | Publication | 2020-12-16 | |
| GridKG: Knowledge Graph Representation of Distribution Grid DataDistribution grid systems are complex networks containing multiple pieces of equipment. All of them interconnected, and all of them described a variety of pieces of information. A knowledge graph provides an interesting data format that allows us to represent information in a form of graphs, i.e., nodes and edges - relations between them. In this paper, we describe an application of a knowledge graph to represent information about a power grid. We show the main components of such a graph - called GridKG, a simple process of identifying electrical paths, and a few examples of grid analysis related to primary switches.T06-P02 University of Alberta | Publication | 2021-01-18 | |

| Distributed Optimization for Distribution Grids With Stochastic DER Using Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement LearningThis article develops a special decomposition methodology for the traditional optimal power flow which facilitates optimal integration of stochastic distributed energy resources in power distribution systems. The resulting distributed optimal power flow algorithm reduces the computational complexity of the conventional linear programming approach while avoiding the challenges associated with the stochastic nature of the energy resources and loads. It does so using machine learning algorithms employed for two crucial tasks. First, two proposed algorithms, Dynamic Distributed Multi-Microgrid and Monte Carlo Tree Search based Reinforcement Learning, constitute dynamic microgrids of network nodes to confirm the electric power transaction optimality. Second, the optimal distributed energy resources are obtained by the proposed deep reinforcement learning method named Multi Leader-Follower Actors under Centralized Critic. It accelerates conventional linear programming approach by considering a reduced set of resources and their constraints. The proposed method is demonstrated through a real-time balancing electricity market constructed over the IEEE 123-bus system and enhanced using price signals based on distribution locational marginal prices. This application clearly shows the ability of the new approach to effectively coordinate multiple distribution system entities while maintaining system security constraints.T06-P02 University of Alberta | Publication | 2021-04-23 | |
| A Comprehensive Review of Blockchain Consensus MechanismsSince the advent of distributed ledger technologies, they have provided diverse opportunities in a wide range of application domains. This article brings a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of distributed ledger and its variants. Analyzing 185 publications, ranging from academic journals to industry websites, it provides a comparative analysis of 130 consensus algorithms using a novel architectural classification. The distribution of the reviewed algorithms is analyzed in terms of the proposed classification and different application domains, along with the applicability of each class among the top 10 platforms in the most prominent blockchain application domains. Additional conclusions are drawn from the evolution of consensus mechanisms, and the analysis concludes envisaging future prospects for consensus as an important part of distributed ledger technology.T06-Q01 University of Alberta | Publication | 2021-03-12 | |
