Large consumers of electric power include electric boiler plants (the capacity of some of them reaches 120 MW); water supply systems of towns (large electric motors for water pumping); main gas pipelines (electric drive at compressor stations); and lighting loads. Such consumers cause high peak loads. In some deficient power systems, they can exceed the available capacity of power plants. In this paper, the possibility of regulation of magnitude and regimes of energy consumption at these consumers is considered and the effect of such regulation is determined.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

New technologies for protection and control schemes are therefore necessary to be introduced in order to maintain the system reliability and security to an acceptable level. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques naturally become the best choice to improve the performance of the present system used. Most faults which have infeed sources from both ends of the line, especially earth faults with fault resistance, are very difficult to identify. This paper presents a novel approach that can overcome the above difficulties. The artificial neural network (ANN) is used to identify the fault location, as well as the fault resistance in a wide range of system conditions. The training of the ANN is relatively simple and fast. The predicated results from the ANN are proved to be accurate for a wide range of system conditions.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

Its design relies on a hybrid direct-time-domain method called SIME. Basically, SIME assesses stability by transforming the multi-machine power system parameters into those of a one-machine infinite bus system, then by calling upon the equal-area criterion. Stability margins thus obtained are used to classify contingencies, select the \"interesting\" ones and, finally, rank and assess these latter. An 88-machine EPRI test system illustrates the technique and shows its ability to correctly handle the simulated contingencies, while complying with real-time computational requirements.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

Until recently such plants were used, almost exclusively, for emergency stand-by purposes; but this is no longer the case. In order to extract the maximum benefit from this situation improvements must be made in the control and protection features incorporated in these gensets. The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) has a key role in these future developments. This paper describes the development of a digital AVR which can replace the existing analogue AVRs traditionally used. Further, it describes the application of a fuzzy tuning scheme as an approach to resolving conflicting control requirements. Results of step demand, load acceptance and rejection tests are provided for the comparison of the performance of the digital AVR with that of the traditional analogue devices.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

A subject of increasing interest is the access of market actors to the transmission network and the remuneration of realised wheeling transactions. Various pricing methodologies have been discussed extensively and are now adopted inhomogeneously by different countries. This presentation gives a survey of the existing models and their advantages and disadvantages. It examines the impact of wheeling transactions on the state of the transmission system. Furthermore, it agrees to the treatment of losses and deviations from the scheduled energy. For this purpose, an object-oriented software-package presented in earlier papers for operation, simulation and analysis of electrical energy systems is used.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

Related lemmas are proved first to present necessary conditions required by the method. Based on an AC load flow solution a novel method is suggested which can determine downstream and upstream power flow tracing paths and calculate the contribution factors of generations and loads to the line flows efficiently in the system without circulating power. When the existence of circulating power in the system is detected, by revealing the reasons which cause circulating power, the optimal power flow (OPF) approach is suggested to eliminate it and a new feasible AC load flow solution will be obtained for tracing. The computer tests yield satisfactory results. The suggested method is suitable for both active and reactive power flow tracings of real power systems.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

The method is distinctive by virtue of the fact that it takes account of the effect of transmission constraints. Since it does not rely on arbitrary slack node assumptions, but is based on a criterion of economic optimality, it produces cost-reflective market signals. The method is demonstrated to produce fundamentally different results from the conventional method. An example network is used to illustrate the method and a comparison is made between analytical and numerical results. This paper also presents an accurate way of calculating loss-adjusted nodal marginal prices, which does not rely on implicit slack node assumptions. It is shown that these prices can be approximated by initially ignoring the effect of losses and subsequently adjusting the resulting prices by the proposed constraint-adjusted transmission loss factors.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.

This paper intends to provide answers by means of examples. This proposal suggests that the reactive power compensations are made by distribution and transmission companies and the generator reactive power capacities are reserved for contingencies. The reactive power compensation at distribution level is to keep load site power factor near unity. The transmission companies need to provide the required reactive power to ensure the proper power delivery in transmission network under normal conditions. Generators operate nearly at unity power factor under normal conditions. For contingencies, generators are responsible for the additional reactive power requirements.","PeriodicalId":127287,"journal":{"name":"DRPT2000.
