The current stage of world energy development is characterized by the creation of powerful, territorially unified energy systems under free market conditions as well as renewable energy integration. Such transactions challenge networks’ configurations and their operating modes. Electric power system (EPS) static stability could be considered one of the primary targets in this regard. The aim of this study was to evaluate the undergoing and expected modernization of the Latvian EPS in terms of static stability in a regional scale-based case study. In order to define static stability, a method based on a bus admittance matrix was proposed. A simplified Latvian EPS model was developed and assessed for the following three modes: past (2017), current (2020), and planned (2025), taking into account the Baltic States’ planned development scenarios including large wind farm integration. The evaluation of computation results provided an opportunity to visually inspect changes in the EPS’ sensitive elements such as lines and nodes. As a result, positive changes were observed (decrease of several weak points) for the planned mode (2025) as compared to the past mode (2017) under the considered modernization scenario. The detailed analysis and results are presented in the article.

Lab orientation is a vital part of learning for new students entering the university, as it provides the students with all the necessary and important information about the lab. The current orientation is manual, tedious, suffers from logistical constraints, lacks engagement, and provides no way to assess that outcomes have been achieved. This is also supported by the results of a student survey which revealed students’ dissatisfaction with current process of orientation. This study presents the design and development of a sample augmented reality mobile application, AR-LabOr, for the lab orientation that helps students in a quick and easy adaptation to the lab environment by familiarizing them with the lab equipment, staff, and safety rules in a fun and interactive manner. This application makes use of marker-less augmented reality technology and a blend of multimedia information such as sound, text, images, and videos that are superimposed on real-world contents. An experiment with 56 students showed that they found the novel method of orientation using the application more engaging than the traditional instructor-led method. Students also found the application to be more supportive, motivating, and that it helped them in better understanding the lab equipment.

Transmission networks recently faced new technical and economic challenges. The direct use of advanced technologies and modern methods could solve these issues. This paper discusses the potential application of straightforward technology such as high-temperature low-sag conductors (HTLScs) as an additional measure for the protection and effective operation of overhead power lines. An evaluation was conducted to determine an approach for selecting the cross-sectional area and type of conductor with respect to a fault current limitation. It showed the potential benefits of using HTLScs based on an assessment of the throughput capacity and up-front capital costs. A case study considered two scenarios: the construction of a new power line and reconductoring of the existing one. The data for a real project with two overhead power lines were used. The obtained results are analyzed and discussed in detail in this paper.

During the recent years, power industries have been facing significant changes due to deregulation and liberalization of the energy markets and increase of the installed capacity of renewable energy sources. These factors directly affect the transmission network planning (TNP) task and inspire a search for new, more adequate methods. This paper compares a deterministic method - the economic intervals (EI) method - and the stochastic approach based (SAB) method. Both methods are used for designing the overhead power line (OHPL), choosing the optimum conductor type and cross-section as well as other main line parameters such as the height, type and coordinates of towers, the line route, the line fittings, etc. Moreover, the paper presents a new approach for implementing a stochastic optimization procedure with a statistical representation of the electricity prices, ambient temperature and load currents in the transmission network. The problem is formulated as minimization of the total annual costs for the transmission line (TL) construction project. The tool is implemented in MATLAB software by using the Monte Carlo (MC) method as well as in OHPL designing software - PLSCADD.

This paper deals with the concept of the stochastic optimization methodology for power line designing, which allows optimizing transmission network planning. The paper presents a comparison of both methods applied for selecting the best line design alternative - the deterministic economic intervals method and the stochastic approach based method, taking into account market conditions. Both methods are utilized for designing overhead power lines, including the choice of main line parameters such as tower height, type and coordinates, conductor type and cross-section, line fittings, etc. Moreover, the use of High Temperature Low Sag conductors - a part of the advanced technology - was evaluated alongside the use of conductors of the traditional type. The optimization problem is formulated as minimization of the total annual costs. The proposed methodology is tested in the developed tool, which is realized in MATLAB software by using the Monte Carlo method, and in an overhead power line designing program - PLS-CADD. Two basic case studies for verifying the proposed power line planning solution are presented in the paper.

This paper presents a stochastic optimization approach to the feasibility study for power lines, taking into account market conditions. To validate the proposed stochastic approach, an economic comparison of several power line design alternatives has been done, considering technical issues as well. The final evaluation and analysis was based on the results obtained by applying both approaches: the deterministic (classical) method and the stochastic one. Both methods are used for power line design including optimum selection of the main parameters of the line such as tower height, type and coordinates, conductor type and cross-section, line fittings etc. The optimization problem is formulated as minimization of the total annual operating and construction costs. The solution task is realized in MATLAB software by using the Monte Carlo method as well as in the overhead power line automation design system PLS-CADD.

The paper presents a comparison of two methodologies for selection of overhead line wire type and cross-section considering market conditions. All existing methodologies which are used to determine optimal cross-section for transmission line wires can be divided into two categories: deterministic and probabilistic (stochastic). This paper presents a new approach for stochastic optimization and compares it to simplified deterministic approach. The proposed method minimizes total annual exploitation and construction costs of the transmission line based on utilization of existing large and easy accessible databases (electricity prices, ambient temperature, load records). The use of the Monte Carlo method's base and above-mentioned databases allows designing a user-friendly algorithm to solve this problem.

A stochastic approach is proposed for selecting the overhead line cross-sections that would be optimal taking into account the electricity market conditions. For this purpose, several conductor types with different conductor cross-sections were considered including the High Temperature Low Sag conductor types such as ACCC and ACCR, which are a part of the advanced technology. The total capital costs depending on the technical aspects were estimated as well. The paper proposes a method that minimizes the average value of the annual costs for the construction of a line based on a statistical representation of the electric power prices, the ambient temperature and the electrical current loads in the electrical networks. The use of the Monte-Carlo method and the mentioned statistical data allow the synthesis of a user-friendly algorithm to solve this problem. As an example of the stochastic approach, the 330 kV transmission line was selected. The solution tasks are done in the MATLAB and “SAPR LEP” software.

Transmission networks are facing an investment challenge due to the limited capacity of the existing power lines. Construction of the new overhead lines is associated with several legal, technical and economic problems. This paper describes Pareto approach for choosing the optimum design of the power line by minimizing the invested capital costs and maximizing the net present value. The analysis of presented solution including assessment of technical and economic efficiency is based on the model of a real line project. The results of the analysis are discussed in the paper.

Due to the limited capacity of the existing transmission lines, new advanced technologies are implemented towards the Smart Grid. Here the interest is in the overhead line thermal monitoring systems, which are generally designed based on the existing methodologies by using the limiting conditions for the determination of the ampacity of power lines. Thus, the evaluation of commonly used thermal rating methods, which include estimation of the conductor temperature as well as the conductor sag, is quite a topical objective, which should by all means be discussed. The paper presents a comparative assessment of the measured and calculated steady-state conductor temperatures as well as line sagging, on the basis of which the testing of thermal rating methods was conducted. The experimental measurements were done using special monitoring equipment in weather conditions under cases “A” and “B” based on the existing lines of the Latvian power network. The obtained results are reviewed in this paper.
