In this model both the primary and the secondary windings are represented by stages of a wavelet filter bank where the dimensions of such a filter bank depend on the number of turns of primary windings and secondary windings. The basic building block consists of stages of the wavelet filter bank. Transformer total response is composed of the sum of responses of all stages, which depends on the nature of the primary current. Using the wavelet filter model, the losses due to eddy currents, leakage flux, and inrush currents have been studied. The proposed wavelet filter model has been found to be suitable for power transformer inrush currents including high frequency transient effects.","PeriodicalId":127699,"journal":{"name":"LESCOPE'02. 2002 Large Engineering Systems Conference on Power Engineering.

The first is to control voltage collapse by using load shedding. In this way the minimum and optimal ratio of load shedding can be calculated. The second is to calculate the reactive power required to control sources in the electric power system. The strengths of this powerful technique lie in its ability for modeling and solving many types of problems. The ANN is designed for those two mentioned ways. A multi-layer feed forward ANN trained with error backpropagation learning is proposed. This network is applied to a stressed power system at different load levels.

This has lead to events such as rolling black-outs in several power systems, for example, California, and has generally resulted in increased electricity prices. A novel approach to reduce the tension in electrical systems is to establish a fast acting load control program for price and system stability. This differs from traditional approaches where additional transmission lines and generators need to be installed. Using this approach, load can be modeled and controlled similar to a generator, proving spinning reserve. The paper reviews existing implementations of fast acting load control. Furthermore, in this paper, two Lagrangian based approaches are used to determine optimal locations for fast acting load control. The approaches are formulated to consider economic cost and stability limits. The effects of applying these approaches are analyzed using a 30-bus system, which is derived from the IEEE 30-bus test system.","PeriodicalId":127699,"journal":{"name":"LESCOPE'02. 2002 Large Engineering Systems Conference on Power Engineering.

The algorithm underlining the coordination technique is the security-constrained price-based unit commitment (SPUC) which is implemented in two states. At first, GENCOs apply priced-based unit commitment (without transmission security constraints), schedule their generating units and submit their energy and capacity bids to the ISO for maximizing their revenues. The ISO obtains transmission information as well from TRANSCOs via OASIS. Using the two sets of generation and transmission data, the ISO executes inter-zonal and intra-zonal congestion management and contingency analysis for minimizing line flow violations and the risk supplying loads. As part of this package, the ISO would have a chance to minimize both transmission flow and reactive (bus voltage) violations. If transmission flow violations persist after the adjustments are made, the solution would provide a signal to GENCOs, based on Benders decomposition, for modifying their initial bids. Accordingly, additional constraints will be introduced in GENCOs for rescheduling generating units and submitting modified bids to the ISO.","PeriodicalId":127699,"journal":{"name":"LESCOPE'02. 2002 Large Engineering Systems Conference on Power Engineering.

Magnitude is accepted as a significant detection and general classification index in field devices or later assessment analysis. Suitable methods of magnitude characterization are one of the bases of PQD measuring and monitoring. The magnitude of PQD can be determined in several different ways. The RMS voltage, peak voltage and fundamental voltage component are introduced to quantify the voltage severity levels in number of published standards. The paper presents the algorithms of the mentioned approaches implemented in Matlab for quasi real-time situation. The algorithms are FFT-based and/or wavelet transform based. They are validated with the example of the radial test system field voltage sag waveforms provided by the IEEE. The depth-duration characterization of voltage sags is illustrated with the mentioned different approaches. The most appropriate approach is suggested at the end of the paper according to the practical monitoring or measuring requirements. We develop a new PQ monitor with DSP chip infrastructure where all the methods are applied. The proper window length selection and technique to avoid oscillation is also discussed in the rest of the paper. The descriptive information obtained from the magnitude characterization can be used further to extract features for PQD detection and classification.","PeriodicalId":127699,"journal":{"name":"LESCOPE'02. 2002 Large Engineering Systems Conference on Power Engineering.
