In this paper, seasonal variations of tower footing impedance of several types of transmission line grounding systems at Manitoba Hydro, Canada are investigated through field measurements for a whole year. The industrial practice uses simulated tower footing impedances by the software CDEGS in the design of transmission line grounding systems, however, the accuracy of simulated tower footing impedances as a critical design parameter has never been evaluated. In this paper, this industrial practice is evaluated by comparing simulated and measured tower footing impedances for various transmission line grounding systems. The importance to use proper tower footing impedance for lightening conditions is also demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":115239,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124884749","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 understanding of AC corona is mainly prompted to design proper hardware for the power systems. In the present study, the characteristics of AC corona current pulses is studied for a point to plane geometry (gap distance of 5 mm) under low pressure, room temperature condition, using a signal processing technique. High voltage varying from 1 kV to 15 kV is applied to the needle to generate the corona discharge at two different pressures of 1000 mbar and 500 mbar. The corona current pulses are captured across a resistor using a shunt box (which is EMI shielded) connected to a ground electrode. The characterisation of the captured pulses is done using signal processing techniques in MATLAB. The sinusoidal component of the AC corona current is filtered out using curve fitting and the high-frequency base noise is removed from the filtered waveform using thresholding. Different parameters like the number of pulses, associated charge during positive and negative half of the cycle, and phase distribution of the negative pulses are presented. Interestingly, it was found that the charge associated with the negative pulses was more at the low voltage condition and as the voltage increased, net charge during the ionization shifted towards positive. This study is thought to be useful in understanding the nature of the charges produced in the ionization via the corona pulses.","PeriodicalId":115239,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123698869","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}

Since such event can occur without causing sufficiently high current due to high arcing resistance and weak system source, the fault is difficult to detect by over-current protection. Therefore, the early stage low-magnitude arc fault detection and potential hazard level evaluation are essentially to be investigated. To overcome the limitations of traditional arc fault detection method, such as low sensitivity, delayed detection, complex structure, susceptible to interference of other sources, etc., meanwhile improves response time and minimizes false alarms, this paper explores a novel arc flash detection mechanism, which utilized the magnetic sensor array based spatial magnetic field analysis, to be able to precisely locate arcing position, evaluate the arcing current with associated potential hazard level and take action to prevent faults in the apparatus. With a series actual cases based simulations are performed, the proposed method shows a better ability to detecting the dynamic behaviors of arc transients, especially on the forming stage of arc flash, and easy to be used in estimation of incident energy level and the possibly flow direction.

In this paper, a versatile hierarchical demand response strategy is proposed. With the determination of hierarchical incentive coefficients and the corresponding response quantities, the rebound effect considered dynamic DR decision-making strategy is established to optimize the total costs of residents. In order to verify the effectiveness of the strategy in cost saving, Monte Carlo algorithm is used for verification, where the optimization rate under the fluctuant price and stochastic power vacancy is calculated. Besides, two types of participating users were considered in the response results, and the confidence intervals for the response quantities under different price were calculated. The result shows the effectiveness of this strategy in reducing cost while the deficiency of DER occurs.","PeriodicalId":115239,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117091989","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}

Among the available MVSCs, modular multilevel VSCs are particularly suitable for an high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system. Nevertheless, for an HVDC system, each phase of the MMC terminal may consist of several hundreds of submodules (SMs). This imposes a particularly challenging in terms of steady-state simulation and modeling. Steady-state modeling is usually needed for determining the operating point for the MMC controller design and for predicting harmonics propagation in a power network. In this paper, a highly efficient and accurate steady-state model for an MMC system with high voltage levels is proposed. The model is based on a model reduction technique recently proposed, which is named Adaptive Residual-Time Restarting Krylov Subspace (ARTRKS) method. As will be shown in the paper, the proposed method is able to model various MMC systems. The results obtained from the proposed model are highly agreeable with those from PSCAD/EMTDC. Moreover, it will also be shown that proposed method can drastically reduce the computation time for obtaining steady state solutions.","PeriodicalId":115239,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129574137","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}

As an agent between the power grid and EV customers, electric vehicle aggregator (EVA) need to comprehend the available EVs’ response capacity (RC) when trading with the system operator. This paper proposes a model aiming to evaluate the multitimescale RC of EVA. The RC evaluation of EVA takes into account the response willingness of EV customers, which can make the evaluation of RC boundary more accurate. Firstly, a temporal RC evaluation model of EV monomer considering chargedischarge state and state of charge (SOC) is established. Secondly, based on the consumer psychology model which reflects the relationship between customers' responsivity and incentive price, a multi-timescale RC evaluation model of EVA considering customers' willingness is built. The day-ahead RC of EVA is evaluated by the state prediction data of EVs. According to the control strategy which considers response time (RT) and SOC indicators comprehensively, the RC evaluation results of EVA is revised in intra-day. Finally, using the statistical data from the EU MERGE project, the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation model is verified, and the impact of incentive price and scheduling time scale on the RC of EVA are analyzed. The results indicate that the proposed model can effectively track the scheduling goals of the system and realize the dynamic update of the RC of EVA.","PeriodicalId":115239,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126895704","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}

A toroidal core with a middle limb is developed using the Metglas amorphous alloy and the middle limb is excited with a dc-current to saturate the core. Under normal condition, this developed ICL imposes low impedance and has a negligible effect on the operation of the system. During switching on to energize a power transformer connected in series with the ICL, the large inrush current desaturates the ICL core, increasing the ac winding impedance which limits the peak amplitude of the transformer inrush current. To validate the proposed saturated amorphous alloy core-based ICL, a prototype ICL has been built and tested in the laboratory and the core power loss, core saturation, and inrush current, are compared with those from sheet steel core-based ICL, and the performance of the proposed saturated amorphous alloy core-based ICL is found to be significantly better.
