The problems that occur are mostly caused by the lack of national standards, which should more clearly define the allowed influence of such power stations and their generators on power network voltage distortion. Investors often do not know whether it is necessary to invest in extra equipment for meeting voltage and current quality standards. The authors made some measurements of the influence of very small hydroelectric power stations in the field and in their laboratories, which are described in this paper.","PeriodicalId":137272,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Transmission and Distribution Conference (Cat.

The application of multicriteria models to transmission and distribution optimization problems is associated with the need to solve: (1) problems in which solution estimated with a single criterion; and (2) problems which can be solved on the basis of a single criterion, however their unique solutions are not achieved because the uncertainty of information produces decision uncertainty regions. In accordance with this, two classes of models are considered with using the Bellman-Zadeh approach and the technique of fuzzy preference relations to their analysis. Advantages opened up by their application are discussed. The results are of a universal character, have found applications, and are illustrated by considering problems of power and energy shortage allocation and substation planning.","PeriodicalId":137272,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Transmission and Distribution Conference (Cat.

For perpendicular and oblique crossings as well as street crossings, these effects are usually ignored for distribution circuits, whereas for transmission cables, corrective actions in physical installation condition are sometimes taken. Almost never are analytical solutions used to determine the effect of external heat sources and high thermal resistivity regions on the ampacity of the rated cable. The main reason no computations are performed is an absence of either derating formulae or derating tables (curves) and nor the lack of a need. To fill this gap, analytical solutions for the computation of the derating factors have been developed and sample computational results are presented in this paper. An alternative approach to address the issue of higher operating temperatures is to design and install dynamic feeder rating systems. This topic is also discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":137272,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Transmission and Distribution Conference (Cat.

It is achieved with an algorithm based upon the harmonic balance method in the frequency domain. Advantages over a time domain description are discussed. Branches of solutions in relevant parameter planes can be continued beyond bifurcation points and lead to a better understanding of the stability domains of the periodic ferroresonant oscillations. The method has been extended to the study of quasi-periodic oscillations by approximation models. The theoretical principles are validated on a full scale three-phase 15 kV configuration with ungrounded neutral, in which fundamental, subharmonic and quasi-periodic oscillations are initiated by controlled current pulse injections. Experimental stability limits have been determined and yielded good agreement with the theoretical ones. The limit value of the damping resistor in the delta-connected tertiary windings of the transformers is determined by the presented method.","PeriodicalId":137272,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Transmission and Distribution Conference (Cat.

Circuit breakers (CBs) and fuses are provided at different locations in order to remove faulted loads, generators or distribution systems from unfaulted portions of the system. These faults could be due to material causalities of individual loads or cables or due to widespread system fault due to battle damage. Because of the faults and after isolating the fault, there are unfaulted sections which are left without supply. It is required to quickly restore supply to these unfaulted sections of the shipboard power systems. This paper presents a new method to reconfigure the network to restore service to unfaulted sections of the system. The problem is formulated as a modification of the fixed charge network flow problem.

Even slight changes of the power frequency can lead to large calculation errors in the values for impedances, the power factor, etc. Implementing an adaptive sampling rate requires knowing the actual system frequency at all times with high accuracy. A new frequency measurement method has been successfully implemented. Since the method is not dependent upon zero-crossings of the measured current, it can calculate the frequency after every sample. In addition, the necessary signal-window is approximately 3 cycles, which means that the calculation is faster than all classical methods. The new method has made possible the development of a full-featured generator protection relay that can operate over a frequency range of 15 Hz-70 Hz. The accuracy of the frequency calculation is better then 10 mHz for a nominal frequency of 60 Hz.","PeriodicalId":137272,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Transmission and Distribution Conference (Cat.

From the viewpoint of practical application, the arrangement of UHF sensors and their measuring frequency range are very important. Focusing on the TEM mode of PD pulse propagation, the authors investigated damping characteristics for each GIS component. On the basis of the results, they developed a new program for a microcomputer which simulates the damping of PD pulses in GIS. In this program, data on the propagation characteristics of each GIS component are assembled and combined according to the propagation route of PD pulses in the GIS. To verify the accuracy of this program, they carried out an on-site test in an underground GIS substation using the pulse injection method. From the test results, the combined damping effect of GIS components was clarified and some correction rules for this program were established.","PeriodicalId":137272,"journal":{"name":"1999 IEEE Transmission and Distribution Conference (Cat.
