A practical tracing method of two parameter stability boundary for voltage stability assessment is proposed. In the traditional tracing method of two parameter bifurcation boundary a second order Hessian matrix of power flow equations has to be computed and factorized, which is a difficulty for on-line application of a large scale power system. By using the single parameter trajectory tracing and the bifurcation point seeking and identification alternately, with the computational expenses of some additional points, the proposed method handles the Jacobin matrix and overcomes this difficulty. The preposition of the proposed method is that the interested part of two parameter stability boundary is composed of both the saddle node bifurcation points and the limit induced bifurcation points, without double saddle node bifurcation points. It is satisfied since the interested part of the boundary is limited. The numerical results about a 3187 bus actual system show that the proposed method is very efficient for on-line application.","PeriodicalId":107016,"journal":{"name":"2008 Joint International Conference on Power System Technology and IEEE Power India Conference","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122122304","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}

An auxiliary switch clamps the voltage across the full bridge to zero prior to the switching off the bridge switches. The auxiliary switch operates for a small fraction of the period and turns on with zero current switching (ZCS) and turns off with ZVS. Direct duty cycle voltage mode control technique is implemented. The experimental results on the lab prototype verify the performance of converter and effectiveness of ZVS and voltage mode control techniques.

Reactive power compensation is an important issue in the control of electric power systems. Reactive power increases the transmission system losses and reduces the power transmission capability of the transmission lines. Moreover, reactive power transmitted through the transmission lines can cause large amplitude variations in the receiving-end voltage. This paper illustrates the effect of static compensator (STATCOM) in power system on reactive power control by proper modelling of simple power system and voltage source converter based STATCOM (Static compensator) using Simulink and Simpower system toolboxes in MATLAB. The proposed control structure is also verified via state- of- the- art dSPACE software.","PeriodicalId":107016,"journal":{"name":"2008 Joint International Conference on Power System Technology and IEEE Power India Conference","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124884676","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}

If the test setup is shown to be free of corona by this test, then it is considered that the assembly will be free of corona under operating conditions. This method does not appear in any standards, but is used as a generally accepted test method. In spite of its general acceptance, this test method can give erroneous results. This is due to the fact that the inception of corona occurs at a given electric field gradient rather than a given absolute voltage. Under actual operating conditions, the electric field gradient at the conductor/hardware/insulator assembly is a function of phase spacing, the local geometry, and the applied 3-phase voltage. In order to correctly perform such a test in a laboratory, it is essential that the maximum gradients occurring on the conductors in the field be reproduced in the laboratory test. To address this shortcoming in test procedures, the IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Committee's Lightning and insulator and corona and field effects working groups are engaged in the development of a guide for the performance of visual corona and RIV testing on insulator assemblies and line hardware.This paper describes the theoretical and experimental background upon which the technical development of the guide is based, and the application of the procedures in the guide as used in testing insulator assemblies and hardware for a new design 6-conductor bundle 765 kV transmission system.","PeriodicalId":107016,"journal":{"name":"2008 Joint International Conference on Power System Technology and IEEE Power India Conference","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124997293","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}

For UHVDC schemes, plusmn800 kV or even higher the geographic distances between the stations can be very significant. Considering the high power rating of UHVDC transmissions, the reliability and availability aspects are considered during all stages of development and design. Thus, the consequences of any outage have to be minimized. It is important that faulty equipment is quickly and safely isolated from the remaining transmission system. In a multi-terminal transmission system the telecommunication is important for coordination of current order and maneuvers in the different stations even if there are back-up controls for not losing the power transmission in case of telecommunication failures. The control and protection systems for a multi-terminal UHVDC transmission are conceptually described.","PeriodicalId":107016,"journal":{"name":"2008 Joint International Conference on Power System Technology and IEEE Power India Conference","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132546142","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}

To reduce its impact coalition formation is envisaged in a cooperative game theory environment. Power vectors are derived to guide coalitions. Marginal vectors are used as socially stable pay-off vectors to share the charges. This model that exemplifies an electricity market is proposed as most suitable since all aspects are based on market engineering principles.
