Theoretic analysis shows for an internal fault, the signs of the average values of the fault component current detected by relays on both ends of the line are identical, while they are opposite for an external fault. Through comparing the signs of the average values detected by two relays on both ends of the line, an internal fault can be distinguished from an external fault. Using PSCAD software, a 1000 kV transmission line model was constructed, and extensive simulations were performed. The simulation results indicate the validity and feasibility of the proposed protection method.","PeriodicalId":117485,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"213 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":"131478703","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}

And the abilities of power transmission related with SPCSCRs under different connection modes were analyzed. Secondly, the overall control strategies for UHVDC SPC mode were studied and suggested independent control systems for two poles respectively.

With DTR technology being introduced, the thermal rating of transmission line is no longer constant but time-dependent. To fully utilize the transfer capability of transmission lines, it is necessary to provide operators with probabilistic forecasting information of DTR to make dispatch decision. In this paper, a new probabilistic forecast method based on the quantile regression analysis theory is proposed to realize the probabilistic prediction of DTR. The weather parameters which have significant influence on the real-time ampacity and historical line ratings are embedded in the quantile regression prediction model. The proposed method can not only give the point prediction and interval prediction result, but also can provide the forecasting results of probability distribution function. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is illustrated by case studies.","PeriodicalId":117485,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC)","volume":"44 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":"131632686","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}

Due to the series connection, no circulating currents exist in TSC-MMC. When the auxiliary arms on the dc side consist of full-bridge sub-modules (FBSMs), fault currents can be eliminated by blocking the cascaded FBSMs when dc fault occurs, without using circuit breakers. Moreover, an optimization of reactive power distribution between the main arms and the auxiliary arms is presented to improve the system performance.

It can be seen that the most of the losses come from the converter valve and connection transformer. After considering energy consumption rate, economy, harmonic influence, the choice of relevant energy efficiency measurement points is then determined.
