1. Most influential feature form for supervised learning in voltage sag source localizationYounes Mohammadi, Boštjan Polajžer, Roberto Chouhy Leborgne, Davood Khodadad, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The paper investigates the application of machine learning (ML) for voltage sag source localization (VSSL) in electrical power systems. To overcome feature-selection challenges for traditional ML methods and provide more meaningful sequential features for deep learning methods, the paper proposes three time-sample-based feature forms, and evaluates an existing feature form. The effectiveness of these feature forms is assessed using k-means clustering with k = 2 referred to as downstream and upstream classes, according to the direction of voltage sag origins. Through extensive voltage sag simulations, including noises in a regional electrical power network, k-means identifies a sequence involving the multiplication of positive-sequence current magnitude with the sine of its angle as the most prominent feature form. The study develops further traditional ML methods such as decision trees (DT), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), an ensemble learning (EL), and a designed one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN). The results found that the combination of 1D-CNN or SVM with the most prominent feature achieved the highest accuracies of 99.37% and 99.13%, respectively, with acceptable/fast prediction times, enhancing VSSL. The exceptional performance of the CNN was also approved by field measurements in a real power network. However, selecting the best ML methods for deployment requires a trade-off between accuracy and real-time implementation requirements. The research findings benefit network operators, large factory owners, and renewable energy park producers. They enable preventive maintenance, reduce equipment downtime/damage in industry and electrical power systems, mitigate financial losses, and facilitate the assignment of power-quality penalties to responsible parties.

2. Quantifying power system frequency quality and extracting typical patterns within short time scales below one hourYounes Mohammadi, Boštjan Polajžer, Roberto Chouhy Leborgne, Davood Khodadad, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper addresses the lack of consideration of short time scales, below one hour, such as sub-15-min and sub1-hr, in grid codes for frequency quality analysis. These time scales are becoming increasingly important due to
the flexible market-based operation of power systems as well as the rising penetration of renewable energy
sources and battery energy storage systems. For this, firstly, a set of frequency-quality indices is considered,
complementing established statistical indices commonly used in power-quality standards. These indices provide
valuable insights for quantifying variations, events, fluctuations, and outliers specific to the discussed time
scales. Among all the implemented indices, the proposed indices are based on over/under frequency events (6
indices), fast frequency rise/drop events (6 indices), and summation of positive and negative peaks (1 index), of
which the 5 with the lowest thresholds are identified as the most dominant. Secondly, k-means and k-medoids
clustering methods in a learning scheme are employed to identify typical patterns within the discussed time
windows, in which the number of clusters is determined based on prior knowledge linked to reality. In order to
clarify the frequency variations and patterns, three frequency case studies are analyzed: case 1 (sub-15-min scale,
10-s values, 6 months), case 2 (sub-1-hr scale, 10-s values, 6 months), and case 3 (sub-1-hr, 3-min values, the
year 2021). Results obtained from the indices and learning methods demonstrate a full picture of the information
within the windows. The maximum value of the highest frequency value minus the lowest one over the windows
is about 0.35 Hz for cases 1 and 2 and 0.25 Hz for case 3. Over-frequency values (with a typical 0.1% threshold)
slightly dominates under-frequency values in cases 1 and 2, while the opposite is observed in case 3. Medium
fluctuations occur in 35% of windows for cases 1 and 2 and 41% for case 3. Outlier values are detected using the
quartile method in 70% of windows for case 2, surpassing the other two cases. About six or seven typical patterns
are also extracted using the presented learning scheme, revealing the frequency trends within the short time
windows. The proposed approaches offer a simpler alternative than tracking frequency single values and also
capture more comprehensive information than existing approaches that analyze the aggregated frequency values
at the end of the specific time windows without considering the frequency trends. In this way, the network
operators have the possibility to monitor the frequency quality and trends within short time scales using the most
dominant indices and typical patterns. Ključne besede: quantifying power system frequency quality, statistical indices, pattern extracting, machine learning, short time scales, renewable energy sources Objavljeno v DKUM: 23.08.2024; Ogledov: 50; Prenosov: 17

3. Investigating Winter Temperatures in Sweden and Norway : Potential Relationships with Climatic Indices and Effects on Electrical Power and Energy SystemsYounes Mohammadi, Aleksey Palstev, Boštjan Polajžer, Seyed Mahdi Miraftabzadeh, Davood Khodadad, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper presents a comprehensive study of winter temperatures in Norway and northern Sweden, covering a period of 50 to 70 years. The analysis utilizes Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) to investigate temperature trends at six selected locations. The results demonstrate an overall long-term rise in temperatures, which can be attributed to global warming. However, when investigating variations in highest, lowest, and average temperatures for December, January, and February, 50% of the cases exhibit a significant decrease in recent years, indicating colder winters, especially in December. The study also explores the variations in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) variations as a crucial climate factor over the last 15 years, estimating a possible 20% decrease/slowdown within the first half of the 21st century. Subsequently, the study investigates potential similarities between winter AMOC and winter temperatures in the mid to high latitudes over the chosen locations. Additionally, the study examines another important climatic index, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and explores possible similarities between the winter NAO index and winter temperatures. The findings reveal a moderate observed lagged correlation for AMOC-smoothed temperatures, particularly in December, along the coastal areas of Norway. Conversely, a stronger lagged correlation is observed between the winter NAO index and temperatures in northwest Sweden and coastal areas of Norway. Thus, NAO may influence both AMOC and winter temperatures (NAO drives both AMOC and temperatures). Furthermore, the paper investigates the impact of colder winters, whether caused by AMOC, NAO, or other factors like winds or sea ice changes, on electrical power and energy systems, highlighting potential challenges such as reduced electricity generation, increased electricity consumption, and the vulnerability of power grids to winter storms. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of enhancing the knowledge of electrical engineering researchers regarding important climate indices, AMOC and NAO, the possible associations between them and winter temperatures, and addressing the challenges posed by the likelihood of colder winters in power systems.
