The consequences of this effect represent a challenge in the coordination of protection devices which have been widely studied. The elimination of the DC offset component of current transformers measurements is the objective of this work, including a new autonomous detector based on mathematical morphology. The idea enhances the digital signal processing to prepare the information before the protective device takes a decision. The detection and fast elimination of the decaying DC offset on current signals could improve the speed of protection, coordination, and selectivity. The paper presents the proposed algorithm and assesses the solution using ATP. The model of the CT used for this validation is also presented. Results show the potential of mathematical morphology for signal processing to delete the DC offset component.","PeriodicalId":142445,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/IAS 54th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131956435","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 proposed controller is designed using decoupled current control loops, which have the d — q-axis components of the currents injected to the grid, as their inputs. The outputs of this controller are command values for the d — q-axis components of the voltages produced by a 3φ WM dc-ac PEC (v∗<inf>Id</inf> and v<sup>∗</sup><inf>Iq</inf>). The values of v∗<inf>Id</inf> and v∗<inf>Iq</inf> are used to determine the required angle ê, which aligns the frame spanned by the actual d-q-axis components of the voltages produced by the controlled 3φ WM dc-ac PEC (v<inf>Id</inf> and v<inf>Iq</inf>). The adjustments of ê allow changing the phase angles of the sinusoidal reference signals used to generate the wavelet modulation switching pulses. The proposed controller is implemented for performance testing using a 15 kW ac module PV system that is interconnected through a 3φ, 6-pulse, WM dc-ac PEC. The performance of the frame-angle controller is tested for different changes in the power delivered to the grid and system parameters. Test results demonstrate stable, fast, and accurate control actions that are complimented by negligible sensitivity to levels of power delivery to the grid, as well as variations in system parameters.","PeriodicalId":142445,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/IAS 54th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130922724","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}

In addition, this research also analyzed voltage regulation, low voltage right through analysis, and three-phase short circuit current in view of the power grid connected into the maximum capacity of wind farms, conducted fault simulation of different voltage grades and distances in view of the power grid, and observed the ability of the system to reply stably in the face of accidents. It was shown from the research results that offshore wind farms could allow the grid connection capacity of the Changbin area to reach 1.9GW after adopting the proposed grid connection methods.

In this paper, a support vector machine (SVM) based machine learning method is proposed for dynamic load modeling of large scale power systems using synchrophasor data recorded by Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). The difference equation based dynamic load model structure is recommended, however, if a traditional transfer function based model format is preferred, it can be directly obtained from difference equation based model. Case studies are conducted using PMU data recorded in a large power grid in North America. The accuracy of the developed load models is verified by comparing the simulated load model dynamic response with real PMU data. The proposed method not only provides an accurate dynamic load model, parameters of the load model can also be easily updated using new synchrophasor data for either on-line or off-line applications.","PeriodicalId":142445,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/IAS 54th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133744202","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 different configurations of the primary and secondary sides of 3φ transformers can alter the paths, through which harmonic components of exciting currents flow. Such an alteration can cause the induction of undesired harmonic components in the voltages on both sides of a 3φ power transformer. Among these undesired harmonic components is the third harmonic, which can exceed the standardized limits, and can adversely impact the transformer, transmission system, grounding system, protective devices, and/or fed loads. The magnitude of the voltage third harmonic component is highly dependent on the core type, configuration of primary and secondary windings, and ground return paths. This paper experimentally examines the presence of the third harmonic component in primary and secondary side voltages for a 3φ transformer for different primary and secondary winding configurations, separately derived point-of-supply, and isolated and directly connected grounding. The different configurations will be examined to determine what may or may not be considered a separately derived source.","PeriodicalId":142445,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/IAS 54th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131455763","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 magnitude of touch voltages depends on the impedance of the equipment grounding conductor (also referred to as Protective Conductor), which should be therefore properly sized. In the U.S., the National Electric Code (NEC) provides minimum sizes for the equipment grounding conductor; however, the NEC further clarifies that the equipment grounding conductor selected in the specific NEC table might need be sized larger to provide adequate electrical safety. In this paper, the authors discuss the major specifications that a “new generation” tester applied to NEC based low-voltage receptacles, or live terminals of feeder/branch circuits, should possess to indicate to users if a ground-fault would cause unsafe touch potentials. Such tester should also unequivocally identify improper wiring of the outlet (e.g. phase-neutral swap, equipment grounding conductor-to-neutral bond).","PeriodicalId":142445,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE/IAS 54th Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference (I&CPS)","volume":"446 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123627671","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}

A comprehensive test procedure with practical considerations is introduced and important issues regarding the test procedure and modeling in such a power plant are described in this paper. The paper discussed endeavors to cover most of the practical challenges during real-time parameter's identification process in such a power plant. In order to test the models’ efficacy and accuracy, a 345 MW multi-shaft CCPP has been selected as the case study. Developed models for each component such as gas turbine (GT), heat recovery system generator (HRSG), steam turbine (ST), etc. are studied. A comparative evaluation of field test results extracted from the monitoring system of the plant and simulation results by the proposed model are carried out for different nominal conditions in order to verify the authenticity of the identified models. Finally, a comprehensive model of multishaft CCPP is introduced and its precise validity conditions are described in details.
