Probability of fuel ignition is evaluated using a Monte Carlo simulation and results are applied to a sample problem to demonstrate event likelihood. A series of experiments using a specially modified vehicle provides the answer to what happens if ignition occurs. Results indicate that the possibility of electric field induced fuel ignition is extremely unlikely to occur. The experiments indicate that even if electric field induced sparks cause fuel ignition, this is not a catastrophic event and does not pose a safety hazard for practical situations.","PeriodicalId":227345,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121520804","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}

Most notably, the full and reduced systems have been compared by detailed transient stability simulations of a size believed to never have been previously attempted in the power systems industry. In addition, various aspects of coherency based reduction have been studied, including the effects of detailed representation of synchronous machines within the equivalent itself. Finally, coherency-based equivalents are compared with dynamic equivalents developed by other mre traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":227345,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114177038","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 objective is to minimize the peak power and energy losses while keeping the voltage within specified limits under varying load conditions. The decision variables to be optimally determined are (i) the locations, sizes and the real-time control of the specified number of ON/OFF switched and fixed capacitors and (ii) the locations and real-time control of the minimum number of voltage regulators. It is shown in this paper (Part I) that the regulator (volt) and the capacitor (var) problem may be treated as two decoupled problems. Part II of this set of three papers, conjoined with Part 1. provides the analytical tools by which optimal solutions for both problems may be determined. Application of the theory to representative radial systems is shown in Part III whhich also illustrates the economic benefits and numerical results achievable through both regulation and compensation schemes.","PeriodicalId":227345,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129180870","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}
