This technique depends on non-linear models for each transformer oil characteristic and linear combination of these non-linear models. The characteristics under study are the oil breakdown voltage, total acidity and water content. The proposed technique has proved its accuracy and applicability by justifying the oil characteristics which have a strong impact on ROT and by giving more accurate predicted results than those obtained by previous modeling techniques.","PeriodicalId":236620,"journal":{"name":"2008 12th International Middle-East Power System Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121993107","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 single stator voltage vector of the inverter standard topology is selected every control sampling period, and it is maintained for the whole period. This makes the torque and stator flux reference values to be reached quickly, with a small number of inverter switching, resulting in a very good dynamic response. However, by this switching technique, based on hysteresis, large and small torque and flux errors are not distinguished, which cause an extra torque ripple in motor steady state operation.. A control is proposed to determine the reference value of the flux according to the value of the motor torque. The results of the Matlab- Simulink simulations with different algorithms such as classical DTC, SVM-DTC method and SVM-DTC with PI controller direct torque control without hysteresis band has been compared.. The average torque ripple is reduced over 60% with SVM-DTC with PI controller method compared with classical DTC and is reduced by 30% compared with SVM-DTC.","PeriodicalId":236620,"journal":{"name":"2008 12th International Middle-East Power System Conference","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117100840","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}

Measurements were made to assess the ac breakdown voltages in LN2 utilizing sphere-plane electrode configuration. Experimental results revealed that the breakdown voltage in LN2 did not increase monotonously but decreased partially as the sphere diameter increased at a constant gap length. The ac breakdown voltages in LN2 were also measured for coaxial cylindrical electrode geometry to examine the area & volume effects and the breakdown voltage showed a decrease with an increase in 90% stressed electrode area (SEA) 90 and 90% stressed liquid volume (SLV) 90.","PeriodicalId":236620,"journal":{"name":"2008 12th International Middle-East Power System Conference","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115177207","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 electricity sector in all countries is interested in improving system quality not only to achieve legal obligations and standard regulation but also to increase the revenue. Improving system quality leads to increasing electricity sales, which represent a profit to the utility, and contract damage. The appliances and equipments will operate more efficiency during its lifetime which is a return to the customer. Two main items identifying the quality of service were considered that directly affect the system operation besides the utility revenue and also customer satisfaction. Voltage profile control and losses minimization were the two items considered. Owing to the load growth, the utility lies in a criticality due to the increasing voltage drop and losses in addition to the capabilities of the distribution network. This paper introduces a new method to find out the optimal location and quantity of capacitor banks for reactive power compensation. There before a step voltage regulator for voltage profile control is assigned and allocated to achieve the highest benefits for customer load patterns and utility loss reduction. The compensation problem under study is an optimization problem solved using nonlinear programming technique. Appropriate voltage profile control and regulator allocation depends on the sight of the operation engineer and distribution feeder.","PeriodicalId":236620,"journal":{"name":"2008 12th International Middle-East Power System Conference","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133952164","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}
