As result, a strategy is proposed to relate a set of descriptors obtained from single end measurements of voltage and current (input), to the fault location (output), in a classical regression task. The developed strategy is tested in the selection of the best calibration parameters of a single phase SVM based fault locator where an average error of 5.278% is then obtained. According to the results, the proposed methodology could be applied successfully in power distribution systems.","PeriodicalId":222318,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition: Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132243528","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}

Initially, we review technologies typically involved in a smart grid with a special focus on smart meters and electrical network automation, as well as the necessary infrastructure to facilitate this implementation, including telecommunications systems, information technology, and cyber security. Then, we present projected costs and benefits, with a broad overview of each of these areas. The feasibility study for the deployment of a smart grid system will typically identify and quantify the benefits for all stakeholders, namely industry, regulators, shareholders, customers, government, society and technology providers. Using this information, and based on real projects led by KEMA, the paper outlines and identifies major benefits, with an objective analysis of the results achieved to date, as well as the challenges and barriers faced in each project. Finally, the paper emphasizes that in order to ensure a reliable energy supply to fast growing areas like Brazil—areas in need of energy from renewable sources, more efficient use of equipment, and assimilation of healthier habits of consumption—the use of smart meters and smart grid is a desirable path to follow. However, the big challenge lies in proving achievable benefits, and one of the best ways to demonstrate these benefits is through the test of the technologies in pilot projects.","PeriodicalId":222318,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition: Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":" 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113951341","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}

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) devices are modeled in an Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP), being applied as an alternative to limit TRV peaks in circuit breakers and reclosers of 15 kV and 72.5 kV voltage class. The assessment of device effectiveness in elimination of three-phase ungrounded and kilometric faults is performed with the purpose of providing information for testing and future deployment. Laboratory conditions are reproduced digitally describing the absorved energy by the device as a function of fault current and TRV frequency. The most severe cases allow the use of ZnO varistors commercially available, giving feasibility to achieve limiter devices. Results obtained in studies presented good agreement, showing that operations preliminarily qualified as unsafe can become permissive. Financial support usually used to replace equipment by another with higher voltage class can be reduced.","PeriodicalId":222318,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition: Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125911784","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}

Basic questions include: “what is the difference in between records captured from DFRs versus relays?”, “do I need a DFR in my system, and why?”, and “is my fault information good enough for complete fault and disturbance evaluation?”. Quality recording data is available, and needs the proper tools to ensure that timely power system disturbance analysis can save money, avoid blackouts and result in a more reliable system. This paper overviews the importance of record data, and explores how it can benefit power system performance. We focus on the importance of record length, record resolution, the presence of harmonics, sample rates, and the ability to record in multiple points of the plant (enabling comparison of data by one centralized device, rather than independent analysis). We will show the difference in triggering methods, length of the pre- and post-trigger data, sampling rates, wide area event monitoring and cross triggering.","PeriodicalId":222318,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition: Latin America (T&D-LA)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117273780","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}
