This work presents a method by which rotor faults of squirrel cage induction motors, such as broken rotor bars and eccentricity, can be diagnosed. The method is based on the spectral analysis of the stator current Hilbert Modulus of the induction motors. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that has the same rotor fault detecting ability as the extended Park' vector approach. The vital advantage of the former is the smaller hardware and software spending compared with the existing ones.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115355563","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}

It triggered a massive review of operating records to determine what happened, why it happened, and how to avoid it in future operations. Much of this work was done at NERC level, through the U.S.-Canada power system outage task force. Additional background information concerning the event was gathered together by a group of utilities that, collectively, have been developing a wide area measurement system (WAMS) for the eastern interconnection. Like its counterpart in the western interconnection, \"WAMS East\" has a primary backbone of synchronized phasor measurements that are continuously recorded at central locations. Operational data have been critical for understanding and responding to the August 14 blackout. Records collected on WAMS East demonstrate the contributions that well synchronized data offer in such efforts, and the value of strategically located continuous recording systems to facilitate their integration. This work examines overall performance of the WAMS East backbone, with a brief assessment of the technology involved. Later papers will provide a utility view of the NERC data review and its institutional implications.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117195166","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}

Being connected at higher voltage levels, their impacts are becoming more widespread. High demand for reactive power is known as one major characteristic of large wind farms that causes voltage problems to power networks. The larger the wind farm, the more severe this effect could be. If the network is not able to meet the wind farm reactive power requirement, the integration of the wind farm power into the system would be limited. The reactive power shortage due to the operation of the wind farm may lead to an increase in the network overall losses and have adverse effects on its voltage stability. This study explores the possibility of integrating the full power of two large wind farms into a subtransmission network, as well as their impacts on the network losses and voltage stability. It also considers these impacts when the network loading is increased. The study is carried out using computer analyses performed on a custom-designed yet realistic radial power system.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117341437","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 solution consists of a local controller for each generator at the first level helped by a multivariable central one at the secondary level. The secondary level controller uses remote signals from all the generators to synthesize two outputs, which decouple the subsystems dynamics hence maximizing the local controllers' performances. The first level controllers use local signals exclusively to dampen local oscillations. A systematic procedure for the design of the wide-area signals based controller is given and is based on a reformulation of the multimachine power system model into a suitable and closed form. The hierarchical structure is used on a realistic power system and simulation results show that the system stability is considerably improved. A power system, unstable under the classical controllers (AVR-PSS/GOVERNOR), is rendered stable when we combine the central and local controllers' actions.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116284871","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 coils employed second generation (2G) HTS wire based on YBCO coated conductor currently under development at American superconductor corporation (AMSC) and other places. Two FCL concepts were studied: a) series and b) shunt. The series limiter employs a coil in series with the load and limits current by its increased resistance during the current limiting phase. This design is best for a single fault current limiting action, with resetting after the several minutes required cooling it down to its prefault temperature. The shunt limiter employs an inductor in parallel with the HTS coils. Once the HTS coil transitions to its normal state, fault current is limited by the impedance of the external inductor. An advantage of the shunt limiter is that with proper design, it could withstand multiple closely timed current limiting events. Since the 2G wire is becoming available in long lengths, now is the right time to initiate a commercial FCL product development program.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124094451","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 commitment schedule must satisfy other constraints such as the generating limits per unit, reserve and individual units. We combined a genetic algorithm with the chaos search. First, it generates a set of feasible unit commitment schedules, and then puts the solution to the SA. The CGAFS has good global optimal search capabilities, but poor local optimal search capabilities. The SA method on the other hand, has good local optimal search capabilities. Through this combined approach an optimal solution can be found. Numerical simulations were carried out using four cases; ten, twenty, thirty and forty thermal units power systems over a 24-hour period. The result demonstrated the accuracy of the proposed CGAFS-SA approach.","PeriodicalId":236779,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2004.","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129909343","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 poles of the spectrum laying on the imaginary axis are isolated before inversion is carried out. The steady state part of the time response is calculated separately and added. Numerical inversion problems are studied and rules for carrying out this process are given. The method is tested for the case of single conductor lines and results are presented. The effect of varying the line length or ground resistivity on the energisation transient is discussed.
