    Modal Analysis of Multi-machine Power System for Load Perturbation
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Zala, D.; Kn, S.; Rao, K.
    Load modeling has always been one of the important aspects of power system stability analysis. In this paper, efforts are made to study the modal behavior of multi-machine power systems for load perturbations. Provisions are made in the time-domain simulation environment to perturb different kind of load components by modeling them as ZIP loads. Resulting slip signals are subjected to Prony analysis to characterize the frequencies and damping of oscillations. Effects of continuous load variation on the power system stability is realized by performing random load perturbation in addition to sudden load changes. Further, an attempt is made to quantify the possible relation between the randomness of the continuous load change to the level of noise contamination in the slip signal of generators. Case studies are presented for 4-machine and 16-machine power systems. © 2019 IEEE.

    Probabilistic Load Flow for Wind Integrated Power System Considering Node Power Uncertainties and Random Branch Outages
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Singh, V.; Moger, T.; Jena, D.
    This paper proposes an analytical probabilistic load flow (PLF) approach that considers conventional generator outages, load variability, and random branch outages. The branch outages are modeled as 0-1 distributions of fictitious power injections at the appropriate nodes. The distribution of state variables and line power flows is then obtained using a combined Cumulant and Gram-Charlier series expansion approach. The proposed PLF performs contingency sequencing with fuzzy logic to eliminate random line checking and avoid masking mistakes faced by performance index-based algorithms. The Jacobian inverse calculation in the traditional Cumulant method is eliminated to conserve storage space and speed up the computation using the Gauss-Jordan method. The correlations among loads and wind power generations has been modeled using the Nataf transformation process. Results of 24-bus and 259-bus equivalent systems of the Indian southern and western power grids are analyzed and validated with those obtained using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The suggested method's efficacy is justified by its accuracy and low computational burden. © 2010-2012 IEEE.

    Probabilistic Load Flow Approach Combining Cumulant Method and K-Means Clustering to Handle Large Fluctuations of Stochastic Variables
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Singh, V.; Moger, T.; Jena, D.
    The modern electrical power system faces various uncertainties, including load fluctuations, forced outages of conventional generators, network branches. Furthermore, the rising penetration of wind power generation introduces additional uncertainty, causing difficulties in power system planning, operation. This paper uses an analytical probabilistic load flow approach to account for all such uncertainties. The random branch outages are simulated using the fictional powers injections into the relevant nodes. A fuzzy method is used to perform contingency sequencing to avoid masking mistakes that might occur when utilizing performance index-based sequencing methods. The sparse Jacobian inverse is eliminated to preserve storage space, accelerate the computation. A modified Cumulant method is used in conjunction with the K-means clustering process to deal with the substantial fluctuations of the input variables. In the proposed approach, the correlated samples are generated using inverse Nataf transformation. These correlated samples are clustered using K-means clustering. The Cumulant method is applied within each cluster, total probability law is used to integrate each cluster's findings. The proposed PLF is tested on 24-bus, 259-bus wind integrated equivalent systems. Compared with the Monte-Carlo simulation, the proposed PLF yields computationally efficient, more accurate findings. © 1972-2012 IEEE.

    A Dual Phase Approach for Addressing Class Imbalance in Land-Use and Land-Cover Mapping From Remotely Sensed Images
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Putty, A.; Annappa, B.; Prajwal, R.; Pariserum Perumal, S.P.
    Semantic segmentation of remotely sensed images for land-use and land-cover classes plays a significant role in various ecosystem management applications. State-of-the-art results in assigning land-use and land-cover classes are primarily achieved using fully convolutional encoder-decoder architectures. However, the uneven distribution of the land-use and land-cover classes becomes a major hurdle leading to performance skewness towards majority classes over minority classes. This paper proposes a novel dual-phase training, with the first phase proposing a new undersampling technique using minority class focused class normalization and the second phase that uses this learnt knowledge for ensembling to prevent overfitting and compensate for the loss of information due to undersampling. The proposed method achieved an overall performance gain of up to 2% in MIoU, Kappa, and F1 Score metrics and up to 3% in class-wise F1-score when compared to the baseline models on Wuhan Dense Labeling, Vaihingen and Potsdam datasets. © 2013 IEEE.
