To track the changes of the power systems, system state and parameter estimation methods that can track the near real-time dynamics of the power systems are needed. Power system operators still employ simulation studies using off-line models that are built based on prior knowledge gained through information via simulated typical scenarios which does not make use of posterior knowledge of neither parameter space nor state space of the dynamics of the power systems. Dynamic models of a power system has increasingly more important role in power system operations since they impact the operational conditions of dynamical power system. In this study, we propose a particle filter based state and parameter estimation method to improve modelling accuracy, which determines the best set of model parameters using real-time measurement data. This can be achieved via measurements by Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) or Remote Terminal Units (RTU) that can capture the system dynamic responses in real time. In addition, parameters of the system can also be estimated. Herein the load will be the parameter of the system that needs to be estimated jointly with the states. Joint state and parameter estimation for power systems via employing Bayesian particle filter is being introduced in this study.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129367400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poor connections and insulation degradation are the two major causes of arc-flash in the switchgear. This paper evaluates the non-intrusive measurement and performance of thermal ionization detector (TID) in the low voltage (LV) air insulated switchgear. The sensitivity analysis of the sensor is done in comparison with thermocouples. Experimental investigation is performed in a climate controlled chamber where bus bars having poor joints are installed. Useful deductions based on measured results, have been discussed in this paper. This particular type of study is nonexistent in the literature. So, it will be remarkably helpful for the researcher and engineers working in the online condition monitoring area.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134165716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mathematical modelling through optimization methods overcome these engineering complications/difficulties, and reduce the experimental/tribotesting period.

Technical measures to manage risks may include using construction materials. In this study the intermediate and low radiofrequency transmission characteristics in case of building materials were investigated. The measurements are called for to determine the amplitude of the electric and magnetic field at the close proximity to the material. A set of common building materials was selected, widely used in modern constructions. The included materials can broadly be divided into three groups: load bearing materials, thermal insulation materials and cover materials. Altogether 17 building materials were tested, forming an overview of some most common materials in construction of houses. The testing was done at 2, 20 and 200 kHz frequencies. The measurement point was in close proximity (10mm) to the material under testing. The electromagnetic irradiator point was on the other side of the material, 150 mm from the measurement sensor. Somewhat frequency dependent variation in the amplification could be observed only in few cases: gypsum panel, aerated concrete, LECA, gypsum board and solid wood. The highest electric field amplification was measured for some materials, up to 5.6 dB increase: custom made gypsum panel, aerated concrete, LECA, gypsum board, high performance concrete plate, solid wood. The results show for the selected samples that semiconductive materials which cannot be grounded due to the high resistance, electric fields may be amplified several folds in close proximity to the material.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"8 8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130479119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
