In many cases, these failures involved human errors and could have been avoided with proper generator protection or personnel training. In a number of cases, plant operators contributed or caused the events. These events were captured on oscillographs. The paper discusses the subtleties of analyzing generator non-fault events such as loss-of-field as well as the important role that sequence of event and oscillographic records play in analyzing these events. The paper also discusses the need to change the established practice of low-resistance grounding (200–400 A) of medium voltage industrial generators. In-service failures indicate the need to limit generator ground current to much lower levels to avoid catastrophic damage. The use of hybrid generator grounding is proposed as a solution to this problem.","PeriodicalId":241744,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record 2009 IEEE Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115616730","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}

This process of supplying shore power to ships while turning off their on-board generators during berthing is called cold ironing. At present, there are no industry standards or recommended guidelines for cold ironing power system grounding design. Ship power is such that it requires a medium voltage power system with multiple parallel feeds, power plugs, receptacle assemblies and a flexible cable management system. This paper establishes the technical basis for designing a resistance grounding method for a cold ironing project, which would provide protection for both the operator and equipment in case of a ground fault anywhere in the system. A discussion of homo-polar grounding system for the ship's on-board power system is included. A system grounding design method to minimize stray current through the ship hull is presented.

Crises and markets failures are often originated from these wholesale and retail market disconnections. Our previously proposed load control strategies (Steps of Temperatures and Pricing Naming) are implemented and integrated to our prototype. The system can serve as a tool to assist end-use residential consumers for their load and budget managements in real-time pricing environments, like Illinois (where 4.5 million consumers can participate in such program).

The proposed battery charger with soft-switching technology has much higher efficiency, lower switch stress and electromagnetic interference (EMI) compared with battery chargers with traditional boost converters.

In order to promote a competitive motor market transformation, a new international standard, the IEC 60034-30 has been approved. This standard globally harmonizes motor energy-efficiency classes in general-purpose, line-fed, three-phase, squirrel-cage, induction motors (IMs). In this standard, four efficiency classes are proposed, namely Standard Efficiency (IE1), High-Efficiency (IE2) equivalent to EPAct, Premium Efficiency (IE3) equivalent to NEMA Premium and Super-Premium Efficiency (IE4). IE1, IE2 and IE3 classes were normative, and IE4 class was intended to be informative, since no sufficient market and technological information is available to allow IE4 standardization. The IE4 Super-Premium class, under discussion, can be applied both to line-fed motors and to inverter plus motor units. In fact, for low-power levels (up to 10 hp) it is clear that moving away from IM technology, and considering emergent or best-available technologies such as permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) can achieve efficiency levels considerably significantly higher than those defined by Premium IE3 class. In this paper, feasible limits for IE4 class are analysed taking into account the efficiency levels of commercial and expected best available technology. The presented results can be useful to define future international standard ¿Super-Premium¿ or IE4-class levels as well as to set market transformation strategies.","PeriodicalId":241744,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record 2009 IEEE Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117309681","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 distinct climate characteristics due to Taiwan's long and narrow topography, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory load forecasting results by treating the whole island as one single region. Therefore, the multi-region load forecasting that factors in the load/weather diversity is applied to enhance the forecasting accuracy. Besides, such weather factors as temperature, relative humidity, and the Heat Index are also considered to examine the prediction accuracy. The results show that adopting the Heat Index as a parameter can effectively improve the accuracy if the temperature of the region under investigation is above 27°C/80°F. By considering both the load/weather diversity and the Heat Index, the further improvement of the load forecasting for the Taipower system in summer can be effectively achieved.","PeriodicalId":241744,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record 2009 IEEE Industrial & Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129411502","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}
