This paper proposes the objective, conditions and process of the Chinese market-oriented reform. Then it emphatically researches the impacts of the Blackout on August 14 on the construction of power grids in China in the following aspects: the China nation-wide interconnection research, the monitoring of the power market, the electricity pricing, the establishment of a new reliability indices framework for bulk power system, etc","PeriodicalId":193517,"journal":{"name":"ESMO 2006 - 2006 IEEE 11th International Conference on Transmission & Distribution Construction, Operation and Live-Line Maintenance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130860413","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 general, electromagnetic induction is a function of the loading of the energized line, the proximity of the two lines and the distance that they are paralleled. Most utility personnel are not aware that large voltages can be developed from electric field induction. Unlike electromagnetic induction, electric field induction is a not a function of the distance that the two lines are paralleled. It is primarily a function of the proximity of the two lines and the magnitude of the operating voltage of the energized line. This paper describes a method of calculating the induced voltage caused by electric field induction. Field test results are also shown and potential work hazards are addressed","PeriodicalId":193517,"journal":{"name":"ESMO 2006 - 2006 IEEE 11th International Conference on Transmission & Distribution Construction, Operation and Live-Line Maintenance","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134222493","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}

As recently as five years ago, the telemetry of electric power data was almost exclusively in the licensed radio realm. However, the scarcity of available licensed channels as well as its improved technology has made the spread spectrum radio an increasingly popular choice. With the install base of spread spectrum devices rapidly increasing, there have been a number of \"urban legends\" or \"superstitions and myths\" that have circulated. With the introduction and advancement of any new technology, misconceptions and misunderstandings will always surface. Spread spectrum, like any technology, can be an extremely valuable tool when used in the correct environment and with correct deployment. The objective of this article is to explore these \"myths\" and provide a better understanding of how to use spread spectrum technology and also show where you can expect to succeed with spread spectrum communication solutions.","PeriodicalId":193517,"journal":{"name":"ESMO 2006 - 2006 IEEE 11th International Conference on Transmission & Distribution Construction, Operation and Live-Line Maintenance","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131817400","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}

We uses non-flaming polyethylene materials instead of PVC(polyvinyl chloride) as a outer jacket material and encapsulating structure. We also use super smooth class material as a inner semi-conductive layer.

Safe regulator switching has been practiced in Northern California for 30+ years, yet many utilities are not aware of benefits associated with the booster bypass switch.
