An intelligent forecasting system that can effectively predict the frequency response of a system to a system contingency is designed. The forecasts can assist in planning system protection strategies, including rescheduling generators, increasing the number of diesel generator units, or implementing an optimized low-frequency load shedding strategy. The simulation results herein reveal that these proposed forecasting models can accurately estimate the lowest frequency, the rate of change of frequency, and the minimum load shedding during stable operation. Actual island systems are considered as examples to elucidate the feasibility of the proposed defense system and the accuracy of forecasting. The results in this study can provide system operators with a valuable reference that can help in preventive dispatch and the planning of load shedding.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129231918","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}

The increasing installation of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) provides interoperability and advanced communications capabilities in substation protection, coordination, control, monitoring, metering, and testing. IEC 61850 is the result of the efforts of the IEC Technical Committee 57 to produce an open standard for substation modeling and communications. The standard has gained popularity and continues to spread throughout the world. In this paper, IEC 61850 application in typical substation automation is explored. The experience of a real SAS modernization case is introduced. This case highlights the benefit of the IEC 61850 in substation monitoring and operation.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115371786","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}

The most recognized standards for sizing US manufactured cables are ampacity tables published in the National Electrical Code [3]. These tables are only for steady-state loads. For occasional kiloampere spikes of several minutes' duration, the temperature responses of medium-voltage cables have been published in [1]. A method to quickly size medium-voltage conductors undergoing fast transient loads is presented in [2]. Herein, fast transient work extends these methods to cover low-voltage cables of US manufacture. Exponential functions are analytically derived in [1] that express temperature responses to step changes in cable currents. Formulas for coefficients and time constants are derived. In [1] and [2] cable manufacturers' data and other sources for physical properties are used to calculate the responses of four sizes of 5kV power cables to these current spikes. The tables listing the results are repeated here with their sizing procedure. Herein are developed temperature responses to current spikes carried by 600 volt cables, and 600V power cable sizing methods. Motors demanding fast transient loads, and variable-speed drives supplying them are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"6 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124810925","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}

The ability of soil to maintain a constant resistivity while being subjected to a heat source is known as its “thermal stability”. A method using the Law of Times has often been recommended to determine soil stability. To test whether this method can accurately predict soil thermal stability an experiment was performed that tested the hypothesis inherent in the Law of Times that the diameter of the heat source affects the drying time of the soil surrounding it. This paper reports the results of that experiment and includes the statistical analysis of the data. The experimental evidence resulted in rejecting the Law of Times as an accurate predictor of the drying time of soil around a buried cable.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"2 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127975409","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}

Because conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) at low frequency domain of conventional quasi-resonant (QR) flyback converters probably exceeds the EN55022 Class-B of EMI standards, this paper presents novel frequency jittering control as the solution. The spread spectrum energy is used to reduce the harmonic amplitude and decrease the average transmission characteristic in the low frequency range. The presented new method is implemented in a chip and therefore an external component is unnecessary for the circuit, and no additional cost is incurred. A 24-W quasi-resonant flyback converter is designed to verify the presented method. The experimental results show that the average conducted EMI at 642 kHz is significantly lowered by approximately 10.2 dB and thus easily meets Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques 22 (CISPR 22) standards.","PeriodicalId":107232,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE/IAS 51st Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125623445","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}
