Lack of dc storage element is a main attractive feature of MC converter topology which can make it suitable choice for many traditional B2B converter topology dominated applications. In this paper, Space Vector modulation (SVM) technique is applied for fixing the switching pattern of direct 3 3 MC. Here the concept of SVM technique for direct 3 3 MC is conceived by representing it in its equivalent B2B connected indirect converter topology and simultaneously applying SVM technique to both converters. Performance of direct MC is verified by simulation in PSIM environment. Simulation results are analysed on the basis of input power factor (P.F), V/F ratio and input current THD.","PeriodicalId":246856,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125121707","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}

Earlier, the consumption has been typically estimated in the design phase of the building by a simple energy per square meter approach. Recently, energy efficiency classification schemes for elevators, VDI 4707-1 and ISO 25745-2, have presented computational methods applying reference power measurements from the installation site to determine specific energy usage categories and to provide an estimate of annual consumption. The ratio of standby and running energy demand are based on the building type related to a certain number of starts per day. The usage of the elevator directly derives from the passenger traffic profile. Therefore, this paper highlights the importance of analyzing the passenger flow, car loading in each direction, length of trips, and their impact on the elevator energy consumption. The modeled results of the case building imply that a substantial share of the total electricity consumption is related to other forms than transporting the passengers between floors. The main cause is considered to be the low average loading in contrast to a commonly used heavy counterbalance. Thus, the paper suggests measures to decrease the energy consumption by resizing the counterbalance and compares the results to regenerative solutions. When the counterbalance is sized optimally, the modeled efficiency improvement of the counterbalance resizing nearly equals the regenerative system with approximately 60% total savings in the case office building.","PeriodicalId":246856,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC)","volume":"263 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131735052","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}

Power transformers are amongst the most important equipments installed in power distribution systems. Therefore, this paper presents a novel methodology to improve the utilization of substation transformers. In this methodology, the transformer utilization of a two-transformer substation is increased via reconfiguration considering the single contingency policy (SCP). The online reconfiguration helps to maximize the amount of load transferred from a substation with a failed transformer to its neighboring substation. This load transfer maximization provides higher transformer capacity utilization possible. In the presented methodology, the load transfer is optimized through two hierarchical stages. In the first stage, the best configuration of the assisting substation is achieved. Then, in the second stage, load points that can be transferred from the substation with a failed transformer to its neighboring healthy substation are determined. In both of the stages, the reconfiguration problem is modeled as a mixed integer second-order cone programming problem. The IEEE 33 bus distribution network is considered as the test system and the results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in transformer utilization improvement.","PeriodicalId":246856,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC)","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122175824","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 evaluation is carried out on DGA data obtained from three different groups of transformers. A Matlab program was developed to automate the evaluation of Duval Triangle graph to numerical modification, Also the fault gases can be generated due to oil decomposing effected by transformer over excitation which increasing the transformer exciting current lead to rising the temperature inside transformer core beside the other causes.","PeriodicalId":246856,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131174732","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}

An acceptable level of risk is obtained both with actions on the process itself (risk reduction) and with the use of special safety systems that switch the process into safe mode when a fault or an abnormal operation mode happens. These safety systems are today based on digital devices that communicate through digital networks. The IEC 61508 series specifies the safety requirements of all the devices that are involved in a safety function, including the communication network. Also electrical generation and distribution systems are processes that may have a significant level of risk, so the criteria stated by the IEC 61508 applies. Starting from this consideration, the paper analyzes the safety requirement for the communication network and compare them with the services of the communication protocol IEC 61850 that represents the most used protocol for automation of electrical plants. The goal of this job is to demonstrate that, from the technical point of view, IEC 61850 can be used for implementing safety-related functions, even if a formal safety certification is still missing.","PeriodicalId":246856,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124521638","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 proposed tool allows to evaluate the performance of PV power plants being designed, while taking into account not only the design parameters but also the environmental characteristics, including the weather or terrain. However, differently from other tools, it also allows to compare the performance of MPPT algorithms, thus supporting the design of the PV power plant.

According to steering angle and speed of EV, the speeds of the front wheels are calculated by equations derived from Ackermann-Jeantand model using CoDeSys Software Package. The simulation of EDS is also realized by MATLAB/Simulink using the mathematical equations. Neural Network (NN) types including RBNN and Back-Propagation Feed-Forward Neural Network (BP-FFNN) are used for estimation the relationship between the steering angle and the speeds of front wheels. Besides, the different levels of noise are added to steering angle as sensor noise for realistic modelling. To conclude, the results estimated from types of NN are verified by CoDeSys and Simulink results. RBNN is convenient for estimation of EDS parameters due to robustness to different levels of sensor noise.","PeriodicalId":246856,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 16th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering (EEEIC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123255348","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}
