In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to set underfrequency load shedding relays based on transient stability studies (frequency dynamic study). The proposed algorithm utilizes a comprehensive transient stability module to find out the unwanted events which are not safe for the operation of the plant and the load shedding actions are unavoidable. Underfrequency load shedding relays are set in such a way that the power system preserves the electricity in service for critical loads and frequency is maintained in permissible limits. The application of the proposed method on a test case is described and the results and related discussions are presented.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115452264","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}

Magnetic fields decayed rapidly with distance. Magnetic field longitudinal and transverse linear plots crossing the middle of the substations were also constructed and these were also found to be similar. Magnetic field parameter plots give information of magnetic field of which the general public may likely be exposed to.

The paper studies the situation when the portfolio of power generation units is planned to be changed, new units are going to be installed and some old ones shut down. The effect on power system reliability and change in demand for ancillary services (AS) which are needed to meet the reliability standards is analyzed. Power system reliability is expressed in terms of reliability indices as used by the Czech TSO. Two scenarios of future development of power unit portfolio differ in number and capacity of new units.

To overcome this problem, the voltage stability index (VSI) is used as a criteria to differentiate between faults and voltage collapse. The VSI is developed based on the change of apparent power and it uses some local information such as bus voltage magnitude and load current magnitude. To evaluate the effectiveness of the VSI, fault and the proximity voltage collapse simulations were carried out on the IEEE 9 bus system. Results proved that the VSI is better than the SSI in terms of differentiating between a fault and a voltage instability condition. Therefore, the VSI can be applied in adaptive distance protection relaying for discriminating between a fault and a voltage collapse so as to prevent undesirable zone 3 distance relay operations.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129499425","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}

Conductors can lose their tensile strength due to the adverse effects of conductor aging caused by annealing. Although the loss of conductor strength is gradual, it accumulates over time and increases the probability of outages and blackouts. Therefore, it is important to keep track of conductor temperatures over time and in space, in order to identify segments of power transmission network that may require more close attention, repairs, or reinforcements. This paper describes and illustrates a new methodology for localization of hotspots and identification of critical aging segments of power transmission lines. The methodology uses load information and weather conditions derived from historical weather reanalysis to derive a time series of spatially resolved map of conductor temperatures. The temperature map is then used to estimate loss of conductor tensile strength for each span of the transmission line. The process is illustrated for a sample transmission line, using assumed load current and historical weather information spanning a period of five years. The simulation results show that the proposed approach provides information vital for transmission network operating procedures and transmission asset management.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123390259","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}

Then, based on the robust control theory and LMI method, the identified linear model is formulated as the standard control problem with the time-delay of the input signals of the WATDD controller, and combined with the designed state observer for the input state variables of the WATDD controller, the control parameters are optimized by the LMI iterate solution algorithm.
