Their advantageous properties are now often used in modern applications as coatings or as gas barriers. In the future, the combination of conventional materials and nanocomponents will be more visible than it is today. This is due to their enhancing effect on the base material. Today's experiments with nanocomponents also include commonly used high voltage materials, such as epoxy resin. In combination with nanocomponents, the positive effect on the electrical, mechanical and also chemical properties is observed. One of the important attributes is a life span of the material, which means the preservation of optimal parameters in time. Importance of investigation of life span is to predict the time in which is safe to use the material without damaging the machine or, in the worst scenario, hurt a person. This article presents an experiment where the electrical parameters of nanocomposite materials under thermal stress are investigated. Pure epoxy resin, epoxy resin with nanoparticles and epoxy resin with hybrid nanoparticle/nanofiber filler were exposed to a temperature of 220 °C for 1000 hours. The positive influence of nanocomponents on the life span is observed.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121241460","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}

Variants involve utilization of autonomous inverters regulation functions or reinforcement of the distribution grid infrastructure as well as the combination of these options.

For each of them, based on a theoretical analysis, a potential for increasing of connectable power in the considered distribution grid is quantified.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116656011","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}

Analyzed population is characterized by relatively low load and high age. Measuring data form one year period with 1h steps are gathered for analysis by on-line temperature monitoring systems mounted in the transformers. Analyzed data consist of ambient temperature, winding HS temperatures and load. Conducted correlation analysis shows that regarding that fleet there is relatively low correlation between load and HS temperature, and HS temperature is mainly depended on the ambient temperature. Observed dependencies may be used for optimization of the present thermal prediction models of the HS temperature in terms of the application for some similar, low loaded transformer populations.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127926137","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}

Typically, the angle of the current representing a load is set relative to the angle of slack bus voltage and not to the related nodal voltage, which is unknown prior the calculation. In networks with high R:x ratio and limited reactive power flow, the resulting error in power factor of individual loads is often relatively small and can be neglected. However, if the power factor of the loads has to be respected during calculation with high precision, modification of the standard calculation algorithms is necessary. This paper presents the modifications of standard load flow algorithms necessary to allow load flow analysis of networks with loads of constant current amplitude - constant power factor type. Algorithms presented in this paper were tested on a set of simple test networks with variable size to verify, how the presented modifications of standard implementations are affecting the convergence characteristics of the algorithms and the absolute accuracy of results. Experimental results have confirmed that all presented algorithms are able to provide accurate results and the impact on the speed of convergence is neglectable.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133398279","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}

We are constantly exposed to the electromagnetic field which is why it is important to raise this issue. The proposed contribution presents the results of research into the shielding of a construction object concrete towards the electromagnetic field. Shielding is defined as shielding effectiveness. Shielding effectiveness is defined by a product of reflection and absorption of the electromagnetic field. The experiment in this contribution concentrates on measurement of shielding effectiveness and reflection of the electromagnetic field. Measured object was concrete wall 120 mm thickness composed of cement and water. Based on these observables it is possible to calculate the electromagnetic absorption which is difficult to measure.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114101475","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}

Along with a rise in their complexity, the requirements for a UPS become more important. UPSs are meant to protect technologies from damage caused by various interruptions of an electric power supply. Advanced monitoring of UPS ensured by a battery management system (BMS) is able to prevent from more serious damage thanks to a mechanism of in-time and accurate battery-fault detection, which is based on voltage metering. This mechanism is widely used, but its use gets very expensive. This also poses an obstacle in the further applications of the battery systems. This paper gives an overview of Czech national standards aimed at batteries used in industrial UPSs. As the temperature is the second key indicator of a battery's health, the battery voltage being the first, our research aims to develop a low-cost UPS monitoring system using infrared thermographic measurements. The research builds on an assumption that overheating of a battery implies a state of damage. The paper describes the design of an extended automatized metering platform.","PeriodicalId":117212,"journal":{"name":"2019 20th International Scientific Conference on Electric Power Engineering (EPE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131358270","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}
