In order to analyze time-varying oscillatory character of voltage response two kind of time-frequency signal processing method were proposed: those which characterize time behavior of the waveform, and those which give information about frequency components.

In this paper, a new solution for uninterrupted operation of wind turbine driving a DFIG has been proposed during fault condition in the grid. A fault current limiter (FCL) is placed in series with the rotor circuit. During fault condition FCL enters a huge solenoid in the rotor circuit to inhabit increasing of current in the rotor circuit. When the fault is cleared the FCL bypasses the solenoid. A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) has been applied for supplying required reactive power in faults and steady states. Capability and modeling accuracy of the proposed method confirmed with simulating a sample power system in PSCAD/EMTDC software.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"196 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":"123225731","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}

This paper deals with node localization based on received signal strength (RSS). The signal power at receiving node is influenced by several stochastic factors. To eliminate so called RSS uncertainty, several measurements of signal strength must be performed to get the value to be used in distance calculation. Multiple packet transmission means bigger energy consumption during distance estimation. This paper presents the analysis of energy consumption during the signal strength measurement with respect to the accuracy of RSS estimation.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"1 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":"126797566","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 order to monitor electrical power quality disturbance, short time discrete Fourier transform (STFT) is most often used. But in case of non-stationary signals, STFT does not track the signal dynamics properly due to limitations of a fixed window width chosen a priori. By using wavelet transform, disturbances in electrical power system can only be detected and localized, but for sake of classification, standard multi-resolution analysis or other classification techniques must be used. This paper presents a new approach for power quality analysis along with classification using a modified wavelet transform, known as S-transform. Case studies for detection and classification several complex power quality disturbances for impulsive transients using S-transform have been corroborated in this paper and the results contained in this paper validate superiority of S-transform over wavelet transform.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"136 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":"127840133","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}
