The soil resistivity varies dynamically under transient conditions and hence the estimation of dynamic soil resistivity is difficult process. In this work, under lightning impulse conditions, the dynamic soil resistivity profile is created by simulations considering soil ionization for different soil resistivity, ionization and deionization time constants. Based on the simulation results, dynamics soil resistivity modeled mathematically to compute ionization and deionization resistivity. The results infer that the dynamic soil resistivity depends on permeability, permittivity and lightning impulse rise time and does not depend upon earth electrode dimension.","PeriodicalId":237016,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy ( TAP Energy)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123392465","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}

With the advent of power electronics, custom power devices are introduced to mitigate the sag issues. Among the custom power devices, Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is the most cost-effective one. The voltage injected in series by the DVR compensates the load profile during sag events. The compensation techniques such as in-phase, energy minimized and phase advance methods determine the way in which the DVR voltage is injected into the grid. By providing a phase advance to the DVR voltage with respect to the supply voltage gives the merit of reduced active power injection and thereby reduces the rating of energy storage. The disadvantages such as increased DVR voltage magnitude, phase shift, load swings and discontinuity of wave shape are associated with this compensation technique. This method is suitable for magnitude sensitive loads. This paper presents simulation results showing the compensation of both sag and swell using phase advance compensation.","PeriodicalId":237016,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy ( TAP Energy)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131793824","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}

In order to satisfy the stringent emission standards, NOx emission of LBNGE must be decreased. One of the known methods for reduction NOx emission is to apply water injection (WI) to engines, which has been widely researched on conventional fuel engines. However, effects of WI on NOx emission and combustion characteristics of LBNGE are not yet quite certain. In this study, effects of variable intake manifold water injection (IMWI) rates on NOx emission and combustion characteristics of LBNGE were investigated by a quasi-dimensional two-zone combustion model and a kinetic model for NOx emission prediction. The results demonstrate that, due to the decrease of in-cylinder temperature with IMWI, NOx emission of LBNGE is reduced by 45.7% with 2g/s IMWI rate in comparison with that without IMWI. However, with IMWI, the peak in-cylinder pressure of LBNGE and rate of pressure rise is decreased as well as peak pressure crank is increased, while the ignition delay and combustion duration are prolonged. Thus, the deterioration of in-cylinder combustion will be caused by the large IMWI rate.","PeriodicalId":237016,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Technological Advancements in Power and Energy ( TAP Energy)","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128326839","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}
