The short-circuit current value plays an important role in the evaluation of the severity of power quality degradation at the distribution voltage levels.","PeriodicalId":138670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128342570","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}

When a system is subjected to a three phase fault, Merent size running machines depart from their original rotor angles, at varying rates. If the fault is not cleared within a specific period, drifting between these machines becomes irrecoverable, and the system becomes unstable. Results under different system operating conditions are presented and the suitability of EMTP to such applications is discussed.","PeriodicalId":138670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114518612","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}

Two distinct reliability assessment methodologies are frequently used to evaluate the reliability performance of power systems: 1) historical reliability assessment, i.e. the collection and analysis of system outage data; and 2) predictive reliability assessment, i.e., combining historical outage data and theoretical models to estimate the performance of various power system operating configurations. This paper focuses on the historical assessment of the sustained frequency and duration of single-circuit and multi-circuit delivery point interruptions. Delivery point reliability levels have a significant impact on the design of industrial and commercial power systems (e.g., IEEE Gold Book-IEEE Standard 493). Bulk electricity system average reliability performance indices are defined and statistics based on delivery point sustained interruption data for a five year period from 1988 to 1992 are presented and discussed in detail in this paper.","PeriodicalId":138670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122568765","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}

The loads are tripped by the underfrequency relays, to prevent the power system from collapse when the plant becomes isolated, due to a utility service outage. Different system fault cases have been selected to derive the proper formulation of a load-shedding scheme, according to the historical operation records. The key factors, such as frequency settings, number of load-shedding steps, size and location of the loads to be tripped, relay time delay, and the coordination with the generator protection scheme, were examined through the simulation of the transient stability program. The proper load-shedding scheme has been designed, and the related hardware has been installed in the plant, to keep the system from blackout when the disturbance occurs.","PeriodicalId":138670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Conference","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133298180","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}

With the advent of large combustion turbine generators, many NUG's are simple or combined cycle facilities with generating capacities in excess of 100 MW. Utilities are recognizing that these large NUG facilities can be significant contributors to the reactive power [megavars (MVArs)] flow needed to support system requirements and transmission level grid voltages. NUG's are now being dispatched for MVAr export and import activities to meet utility requirements. The ability of a NUG to export or import MVArs is highly dependent on the actual transmission intertie voltage level. Unless plant-specific studies are performed, this capacity can be difficult to ascertain for the NUG operating and engineering personnel. This paper presents a method, based on system load-flow studies, for estimating the capacity of a NUG to export or import MVArs at a given transmission intertie voltage level. It also explores other key variables which determine the ability of a NUG to export or import VArs. This methodology can be used to aid operating personnel at existing facilities or as a guide during the design of a new facility.","PeriodicalId":138670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128771557","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}

Historical transmission reliability data provides the ability to predict the performance of various transmission line configurations and assess the economic impact of forced outages on industrial and commercial power systems. The prediction methodologies are presented in IEEE Std, 493 (i.e., IEEE Gold Book). This paper presents a summary of the Canadian Electrical Association's Equipment Reliability Information System statistics on the forced outage performance characteristics of power transmission equipment (i.e., transformers, circuit breakers, cables, etc.) for Canadian utilities for the period 1988-1992. The paper reveals the structure of the database and presents relevant summary data (i.e., the frequency and duration of forced outages) necessary for the application of these reliability methodologies. A knowledge of the primary causes of the major equipment forced outages as to whether the outages are primarily due to the subcomponents of the major equipment or to its terminal equipment is essential for designing, operating and maintaining a reliable transmission system. This paper discusses and identifies for each major equipment the primary subcomponent (e.g., transformer windings) and the terminal equipment (e.g., auxiliary equipment) which dominated the forced outage statistics of the major equipment for the five year period.","PeriodicalId":138670,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Conference","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133483597","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}
