We develop an algorithm for synthesizing a spatial pattern of charging/discharging operations of in-vehicle batteries for provision of Ancillary Service (AS) in power distribution grids. The algorithm is based on the ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation) model of distribution voltage that has been recently introduced. In this paper, firstly, we derive analytical solutions of the ODE model for a single straight-line feeder through a partial linearization, thereby providing a physical insight to the impact of spatial EV charging/discharging to the distribution voltage. Second, based on the analytical solutions, we propose an algorithm for determining the values of charging/discharging power (active and reactive) by in-vehicle batteries in the single feeder grid, so that the power demanded as AS (e.g. a regulation signal to distribution system operator for primary frequency control reserve) is provided by EVs, and the deviation of distribution voltage from a nominal value is reduced in the grid. Effectiveness of the algorithm is established with numerical simulations on the single feeder grid and on a realistic feeder grid with multiple bifurcations.

We report a new approach to estimating power system inertia directly from time-series data on power system dynamics. The approach is based on the so-called Koopman Mode Decomposition (KMD) of such dynamic data, which is a nonlinear generalization of linear modal decomposition through spectral analysis of the Koopman operator for nonlinear dynamical systems. The KMD-based approach is thus applicable to dynamic data that evolve in nonlinear regime of power system characteristics. Its effectiveness is numerically evaluated with transient stability simulations of the IEEE New England test system.

Koopman Mode Decomposition (KMD) is a technique of nonlinear time-series analysis that originates from point spectrum of the Koopman operator defined for an underlying nonlinear dynamical system. We present a numerical algorithm of KMD based on Gaussian process regression that is capable of handling noisy finite-time data. The algorithm is applied to short-term swing dynamics of a multi-machine power grid in order to estimate oscillatory modes embedded in the dynamics, and thereby the effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated.
