Embedding quasi-static time series within a genetic algorithm for stochastic optimization: the case of reactive power compensation on distribution systems [PDF]
Abstract This paper presents a methodology for the optimal placement and sizing of reactive power compensation devices in a distribution system (DS) with distributed generation. Quasi-static time series is embedded in an optimization method based on a genetic algorithm to adequately represent the uncertainty introduced by solar ...

Quasi-Static Time-Series Power Flow Solution for Islanded and Unbalanced Three-Phase Microgrids [PDF]
Recent advances in inverter-based distributed energy resources (DERs) allow microgrids to operate in grid-connected and islanded modes with ease. However, determining a steady-state load flow solution of a real-world unbalanced and islanded three-phase ...

Data-Driven Distribution System Load Modeling for Quasi-Static Time-Series Simulation
This paper presents a data-driven distribution system load modeling methodology targeting quasi-static time-series (QSTS) simulation. The proposed methodology is appropriate for modeling down to the level of the customer transformer, and it has three main features: 1) both load pattern diversity and intra-second load variability are considered, 2) the ...

Implementation of Temporal Parallelization for Rapid Quasi-Static Time-Series (QSTS) Simulations
Quasi-static time-series (QSTS) analysis of distribution systems can provide critical information about the potential impacts of high penetrations of distributed and renewable resources, like solar photovoltaic systems. However, running high-resolution yearlong QSTS simulations of large distribution feeders can be prohibitively burdensome due to long ...

Fast Quasi-Static Time-Series (QSTS) for yearlong PV impact studies using vector quantization
Abstract The rapidly growing penetration levels of distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems requires more comprehensive studies to understand their impact on distribution feeders. IEEE P.1547 highlights the need for Quasi-Static Time Series (QSTS) simulation in conducting distribution impact studies for distributed resource interconnection.
