Fault simulation is carried out in EMTP96 using a frequency dependent transmission line model. Voltage and current signals are obtained for a single phase (phase-A) to ground fault at every 500 m distance on one of the branches, which is 64.09 km long. Simulation is carried out for 3 cycles (60 ms) with step size /spl Delta/t, of 2.5 /spl mu/s to abstract the high frequency component of the signal and every 100 points have been selected as output. Two cycles of waveform, covering pre-fault and post-fault information are abstracted for further analysis. These waveforms are then used in wavelet analysis to generate the training pattern. Two different mother wavelets have been used to decompose the signal, from which the statistical information is abstracted as the training pattern. RBF network was trained and cross-validated with unseen data.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

Individual generator dynamics are explicitly incorporated into the optimisation problem as constraints, which allowed the frequency fluctuations to be also directly monitored and controlled. The approach eliminates the need for not well defined concepts of primary and secondary responses. The developed optimisation problem contains a mix of algebraic and differential equations. In order to solve this complex problem, generating plant dynamic equations are transformed into discrete equations and then a Benders based decomposition applied. The validity of approach is demonstrated on an example with 8 generators.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

The system automatically processes topology and highlights de-energized feeders when devices change state after telemetry input or manually dressing. System alterations and switching schedules are prepared in advance and operations can be automatically checked against utility defined safety rules. Power analysis functions can analyze the HV subtransmission network or individual distribution feeders. One of the major benefits is that SCADA, world-map schematic diagrams, plant parameters and network connectivity are stored in one consistent system. Data is held at a variety of levels of detail to suit both high level analysis and detailed device operation. Communication between subsystems uses the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA).

It is revealed by analysis that the SVC voltage and damping control, in fact, conflict each other and one function is performed always at the price of sacrificing the performance of another function. The incompatibility between SVC voltage and damping control not only just exists but also is inherent. To tackle the counteraction between two different control functions of the SVC, a scheme of co-ordination is proposed in the paper. The scheme is based on an optimal search using nonlinear programming. Test results of an example power system are presented, which confirm the analytical studies and demonstrate the success of the scheme of co-ordination proposed.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.
