Today, for those machines located in the Western United States, the North American Reliability Council (NEPC) and Western Electric Co-coordinating Council (WECC) are ruling that machines rated more than 35 MVA or group of machines equal to or more than 75 MVA connected to the transmission grid through one transformer be operating in voltage regulating mode and be equipped with power system stabilizer to improve the transient stability of the system. The latest NERC and WECC standards do not allow for generators meeting these criteria to be operating in Var/power factor control. Over the years various types of Var/PF control have been provided. Two types of Var/PF controllers are available as described in IEEE 421.5. Type 1 Var/PF controller uses raise/lower signal based on generator output changes. The amount of raise/lower signal is a fixed voltage. The Var/PF controller of type 2 uses a PI controller, which changes a desired voltage setpoint smoothly in linear fashion. Both types are considered as a summing point type Var/PF controller. In this paper, the PSS performance is studied with type 2 Var/PF controller that does not have an undesirable PSS action caused by a sudden change in setpoint adjustment from the Var controller. The results illustrate that power system stabilizer performance is not deteriorated when the type 2 Var/PF control is implemented. This type of performance response can benefit pulp and paper mills who desire constant VAR/PF control but also requiring to meet the WECC regulation guidelines","PeriodicalId":231751,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2006 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125978443","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}

Thompson","doi":"10.1109/PAPCON.2006.1673774","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PAPCON.2006.1673774","url":null,"abstract":"The design of substation protection, metering, and control systems using integration technologies has been developing ever since the advent of microprocessor-based devices. Modern relays include many auxiliary functions beyond their primary function of power system protection. Local and remote metering, local and remote control and status reporting, alarm functions and annunciation, interlocking, oscillographic and sequence-of-event recording are all features that have been required in a substation protection, metering, and control system that can all be provided by modern protective relays when integration technologies are applied. A power system cannot be operated without protection, thus the protective relays are the foundation to build an integrated system upon. Integrated substation protection and control system design has not yet reached the maturity of traditional nonintegrated design architectures. One reason for this is the rapid change inherent in computer and communications technologies. However, if we apply well-developed concepts used for protection system design to the entire integrated protection, metering, and control system, we can create an inherently fault-tolerant and robust system- regardless of the integration technologies used. Unless properly designed, integrated systems can be designed such that inherent redundancies are lost. If the design is approached from the beginning with consideration for integrating protection, metering, and control upon a foundation of modern multifunction programmable relays, we can not only eliminate these deficiencies, we can create a system that has built-in continuous self-test features. We can extend the concept of continuous self-test, which we have enjoyed in the relays themselves, to the entire system. The design concepts discussed in this paper can make problems and failures, which would be hidden in a traditional design, readily apparent so that they can be corrected before undesired operation can occur. These features do not generally require increased cost; instead they are obtained by making use of the capabilities available in the powerful relays currently in use. This paper covers the general design architecture of a protection and control system using powerful multifunction programmable relays. It does not cover power system protection in detail, and it does not cover integration in detail. Rather, the focus of this paper is to discuss design concepts that will help the reader to design a fault-tolerant, robust protection and control system, with continuous self-test features, that takes advantage of the attributes of modern protective relays","PeriodicalId":231751,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2006 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125623082","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}

Recent changes to some standards, such as the NFPA-70E, have emphasized the need to look for improved safety compliance to mitigating the risks associated with the operation and maintenance of electrical equipment. The requirements for employee safe work practices have all targeted reducing the risks of electrical arc hazards. However arcs accompanied by explosions continue to occur in electrical systems. Factors such as inappropriate human interaction with the equipment, equipment malfunctions as a result of misuse or lack of regular maintenance or unforeseen events continue to contribute to the unexpected release of explosive electrical energy in the workplace. This paper outlines the details surrounding the testing of medium voltage (MV) control center equipment to permit it to be certified to present arc resistant standards.

When evaluating equipment such as motor control centers (MCCs) and bus ducts, each individual feeder circuit should be evaluated to determine the incident energy for the downstream protected locations. Depending on the impedance between the overcurrent protection and the downstream location considered, the arcing fault current may be reduced to the extent that the overcurrent device will respond relatively slowly. To evaluate every cable drop from a bus duct and every feeder circuit in an MCC requires extensive effort that is often avoided by implementing inaccurate assumptions and invalid shortcuts. As a result, this paper considers the possibility of limiting the required calculations by making accurate generalizations to identify a reduced number of circuits that merit a detailed analysis","PeriodicalId":231751,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of 2006 Annual Pulp and Paper Industry Technical Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115796406","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}
