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 ...

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 ...

Predetermined time-step solver for rapid quasi-static time series (QSTS) of distribution systems
Distribution system analysis with high penetrations of distributed energy resources (DER) requires quasi-static time-series (QSTS) analysis to capture the time-varying and time-dependent aspects of the system, but current QSTS algorithms are prohibitively burdensome and computationally intensive. This paper proposes a novel deviation-based algorithm to

Monte Carlo Based Method for Parallelizing Quasi-Static Time-Series Power System Simulations [PDF]
Both commercial and open source power system simulators run quasi-static time-series (QSTS) simulations sequentially. For yearlong high-resolution load profiles this sequential execution of load flows incurs long computation times. Parallelizing QSTS simulations on multiple processors is one possible way to reduce the computation time.
