The reliability prediction method is usually based on independent failure. However, the common cause failure affects many components simultaneously in a system, and it turns out the system collapse seriously in a wide range. Therefore, to improve the reliability of the power system practically, the analysis using the common cause failure is required. This paper describes the common cause failure modeling combined with independent failure. Using the dynamic fault tree, the incorporated independent failure and common cause failure are proposed and analyzed, and it is applied to the power substation in order to examine the method.","PeriodicalId":246039,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128661750","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}

Electrical load forecast might be performed over different time intervals of short, medium and long term. Various techniques have been proposed for short term, medium term or long term load forecasting. In this study we employ Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and regression (Linear and Log-Linear) approaches for annual electricity load forecasting. This study presents a model that is affected by two economical parameters which are Real-GDP and Population. Using Real-GDP instead of nominal-GDP can provide more accuracy because the effects of inflation are considered in the structure of such model and this will cause the results to be more reliable. To improve forecasting accuracy of the model we apply data preprocessing techniques. Forecasting capability of each approach is evaluated by calculating three separate statistical evaluations of the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), the Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). All evaluations indicate that the accuracy of ANN which is trained with preprocessed data is remarkably better than the other two conventional approaches.","PeriodicalId":246039,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127164565","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}

These machines incorporate the benefits of variable speed generators in a cost-effective way but are very sensitive to grid disturbances and especially to voltage dips. To prevent the damages that grid disturbances can cause to the converter, the machines are equipped with a crowbar protection system that short-circuits the rotor. However, during the crowbar activation the rotor converter must be disconnected, so the power generation of the turbine is no longer controlled. In doing so, the crowbar impedes the turbine voltage stabilization required by most new grid regulations. This paper proposes a protection system alternative to the crowbar that allows the turbine to quickly resume normal operation, almost immediately generating reactive power, and hence contributing to the voltage stabilization.","PeriodicalId":246039,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125613870","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 methodology adopted to enhance reliability, uses the Monte Carlo simulation and an historical data of the network such as the level of reliability and the severity of potential contingencies in each branch. The method analyses the RDS in two perspectives. A first perspective of optimization considering no investment, therefore using only the switches presented in the network, and a second perspective of optimization where is given the possibility to place a limited number of tie-switches and thus get better results. Here, the number of tie-switches and the branches that can receive them are defined by a decision agent. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through the analysis of a 69 bus RDS.","PeriodicalId":246039,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130437165","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}

To analyse the full dynamic behaviour on the firm footing of experimental results, a test bench is built. On the one hand the 16.7-Hz single-phase railway grid is modelled — featuring impedance, grid voltage harmonics and pantograph arcing. On the other hand the full power chain of a traction vehicle is modelled. To simulate such complex structures consisting of networks and components described by high-order differential equations and several power-electronic devices with high accuracy and efficiency as well, an advanced simulation concept is needed. One which fulfils the requirements and convincing simulation results of the interaction between modelled grid and loco are presented.
