A significant direction in this area is upgrading of sensors installed directly on the wires and electrical transmission towers. These sensors are installed in the conditions of an electromagnetic field acting on them and dynamically changes both in time and space, especially during emergency modes including single phase to earth faults. Application of modern software offers a challenge for complex simulation study of electromagnetic fields distribution at the location of the measuring transducers in continuously variable electromagnetic environment. The above-noted statement determines the relevance of the research goal, which is the development of a simulation study method of 6–10 kV overhead power lines, the model of which is designed to study existing and create new single phase to earth fault location algorithms and devices. To solve the tasks set the methods of simulation study of overhead transmission lines and corresponding medium voltage networks in PSCAD and COMSOL Multiphysics software have been used. The general concept of design of a 6–10 kV network and an overhead transmission line simulation model is formulated. The geometrical parameters of the section of the model of an overhead power transmission line to simulate electromagnetic transients are selected, considering the frequency dependence of the line parameters (inductance and active resistance). The proposed model of the overhead transmission line is verified, and recommendations for its application are given. The developed “inductive” component of the proposed overhead transmission line model allows to provide high accuracy of calculation of transient components of currents and voltages during single phase to earth faults. It makes possible to use this model for the development and research of single phase to earth fault location algorithms. The developed approach to simulation study of an overhead transmission line is the field of interest for further research, as it makes it possible to calculate the components of the electric field which are observed during single phase to earth faults.","PeriodicalId":23635,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik IGEU","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82775632","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}

A feature of this process is the need to maintain a temperature determined by the characteristics of the paint, which is difficult at low ambient temperatures. The solution of the problem is the use of a tent-type mobile drying chamber at the stage of drying the painted part at the place of its assembly. At the same time, the drying process can be controlled by changing the location of the fan heater and exhaust ventilation, changing the performance of the heater fan and the temperature of the supplied air. The solution of this technological problem is the goal of the study. The study uses the methods of numerical modeling and experimental studies. As a modeling tool, the SOLIDWORKS software package and office packages for statistical data processing have been used. It is found out that the distribution of temperatures in the shelter depends on the thermal resistance of the walls of the drying chamber, the main characteristic of the heater fan, the dimensions of the chamber and the painted module, the gaps between the walls, the ambient temperature and the air coming from the heater, the fan parameters, the fan placement methods and draft ventilation. The calculation considers the aerodynamic resistance of the drying chamber with the part placed in it, the influence of free convection, heat loss and features of air distribution inside the shelter. Based on the results obtained, the authors proposed a calculation method that allows determining the temperature decrease inside the chamber relative to the temperature of the air coming from the heater. To automate the calculation results, a program has been developed to determine the parameters of air after heating with a fan heater. The results obtained makes it possible to solve an important practical problem of ensuring high quality of painting works in a tent-type shelters under various climatic conditions, including negative ambient temperatures due to a reliable forecast of the uneven temperature field in the painting chamber. The developed technique is designed for the rapid selection of heaters, including the supply of a fan, the power of the heating element, and the air temperature at the outlet of the heater depending on the ambient temperature, the permissible range of temperature changes of the paint, the geometric parameters of the tent shelter and the painted product. The scientific value of the study is the results of the study of mixed convection in the tent shelter, the revealed essential regularities of the process and the obtained criterion equation to calculate the temperature range of the paint coating of the product in the chamber.

The key difficulties to model sections of overhead and cable lines are caused by complex conductor geometry, their transposition, as well as grounding schemes of ground wires of overhead lines and screens of underground cables. The paper covers various aspects of 110–750 overhead line and cable modeling that must be taken into consideration to obtain a reliable mathematical model in a phase domain. Modern software does not provide a universal solution to determine line parameters. The 110–500 kV cable line modeling issues have not been worked out properly and require careful analysis of specialized foreign literature. Thus, the task to develop the algorithms of calculating the parameters of overhead and cable power lines is relevant, taking into account the various configuration options of these lines which are possible in operational practice. To derive overhead transmission line and cable line models, electric circuit theory and matrix algebra methods have been used. The ATP/ATPDraw and MATLAB/Simulink software environment has been used to investigate what tools are available to determine line parameters, as well as to verify some of the calculation results. Analysis has been carried out to reveal the options available in the ATP/ATPDraw and MATLAB/Simulink software to compute line parameters in a phase domain. An algorithm has been developed and verified to calculate overhead line parameters regardless of the number of parallel circuits. The key features of the calculation of the matrix of linear resistances of overhead power transmission lines are outlined. The main features of modern cable lines operating at 110–500 kV are also described. The paper presents various cable layouts possible in real-field conditions, as well as provides expressions that allow obtaining correct impedances and admittances for a system of cable line conductors. Study of the options of various software tools dedicated to overhead line parameter calculation in a phase domain has revealed that these tools cannot be deemed universal to represent an overhead line of whatever configuration. However, the developed algorithm is universal as it allows computing line parameters regardless the ground wire grounding approach.

The implementation of a “high-speed” transfer to a backup power source when using vacuum switches may not be possible due to the long turn-on and turn-off times. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is relevant. The aim of the paper is to study the possibility to reduce the backup power supply time by improving the algorithm to control the vacuum switches of the main and backup power sources in the modes “high-speed” switching by the fast-acting automatic device in case of short circuits in the external power supply network. To achieve this purpose, computer modeling methods are used. They are based on mathematical models of electrical network elements written using systems of differential equations. The authors have defined the regularities of the transient processes in synchronous and induction motors when switching to a backup power source by the fast-acting automatic device in case of short circuits in the external power supply network. It makes possible to set the limit value of the mismatch angle between the residual voltage vectors on the section of the main power source and the voltage of the backup power source, at which the level of the self-starting current does not exceed the values of the starting currents. Also, it makes possible to develop an algorithm to control breakers. The proposed algorithm is based on changing the operation order of the switches of the main and backup power sources. The obtained results show that implementation of the proposed algorithm to control breakers of the main and backup power sources in fast-acting automatic devices in case of short circuits in the external power supply network of the main power source makes it possible to reduce the backup power supply time and decrease the level of self-starting currents that do not exceed the level of starting currents of electric motors without use of high-speed switches.","PeriodicalId":23635,"journal":{"name":"Vestnik IGEU","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83849941","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 study of the thermophysical properties of materials is necessary for the further design of various types of thermal insulation, heat exchangers, etc. In this regard, the study of the thermophysical properties of materials with an ordered structure based on TPMS is a topical issue. The paper proposes to study the thermophysical properties of materials with an ordered structure of Schoen’s I-WP(R) TPMS. Using the ANSYS software package (Steady-State Thermal module), numerical simulation of the heat transfer process in the material under study is carried out. The study is carried out for a material common in additive technologies, that is PETG plastic. The article presents the results of a study of the thermophysical properties of a material with an ordered macrostructure based on Schoen’s I-WP(R) triply periodic minimal energy surfaces. Based on the simulation results, graphical and analytical dependences of the heat flux density and effective thermal conductivity of the material are obtained. The results of the heat flux density are obtained in different directions with variable geometric parameters of the structure (the thickness of the cell wall and the length of the edge of the cube in which the cell is inscribed). Using the ANSYS software package, numerical simulation of the heat transfer process in the material under study is performed. The calculation results show a linear dependence of the effective thermal conductivity of the homogenized material on the wall thickness of the unit cell. It is shown that the intensity of heat transfer depends not only on the wall thickness and unit cell size, but also on the direction of the heat flux. The obtained results of the study can be used to create materials with predictable thermal conductivity by changing the dimensions (cell wall thickness and cube edge length) and high strength-weight ratio.

Despite the considerable number of scientific papers on this issue, the effective performance and improvement of the heat and mass transfer process in evaporator plants remains an urgent task, especially with variable operating modes of the technological equipment of TPPs and NPPs. On the one hand, it is due to the need to match the variable parameters of steam and the variable flow rates of make-up water for the process needs of the station.
