The d-q axis small-signal induction-machine models based on stationary and synchronously rotating reference frames are employed to calculate system eigenvalues versus time under different operating conditions. A nonlinear magnetizing curve of the studied SEIG is represented by an arctangent continuous function to replace piecewise linear approximations or a polynomial, and the cross saturation effect in the SEIG can be easily included. From the analyzed results, the proposed method can give a clear investigation on system dynamic behavior from the viewpoint of small-signal stability. The experimental results obtained from laboratory induction machines confirm the validity of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

The cable is cooled by a liquid nitrogen (LN) system that can supply LN at sub-cooled temperatures down to 72 K and at pressures up to 15 atmospheres. The design of the 30 m cables is based upon two 5 m cable prototypes, which were tested at a specially developed facility at ORNL. In addition to critical current and AC loss measurements, simulated fault-current tests were performed at ORNL on the 5 m cables. Cable terminations were designed to allow smooth transition from the cryogenic temperature and pressure environment of the HTS cable to ambient temperature and pressure for copper cables. A dielectric tape material, Cryoflex/sup TM/ was also developed for use at cryogenic temperatures.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

In other words, the authors discuss about an implementation method of tabu search to find how much distribution loss can be reduced if DGs are optimally allocated at the demand side of a power system. Namely, locations and discrete capacities of DGs to minimize the distribution loss are determined by nested use of the tabu search algorithm.

The capacitor commutated converter (CCC) is a new type of HVDC converter topology which shows promise for use in long distance transmission via cables.

Several HVDC-connections with cable lengths of about 600 km are currently in the planning stage in Northern Europe. This paper proposes two possible control options for such extremely long cable HVDC-connections. The suitability of these control alternatives in a CCC-inverter based HVDC-scheme terminating in a weak AC-network, is investigated using electromagnetic transient simulation.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

In this study, the authors examine ways to achieve in MPLS networks a transmission quality similar to that of ATM networks connected to MPLS networks. They show a switch fabric that reduces ATM cell delay in MPLS networks in which ATM cells and IP packets are mixed, and also IP traffic transmitted from multiple points such as substations to MPLS networks, routed effectively in MPLS networks. In addition, they propose a migration method from existing backbone networks configured in ATM or IP networks to MPLS networks.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

This paper presents an efficient topology processor. Based on a well-defined data structure, the proposed algorithm can deal with topology changes quite quickly using only local updating procedure to track the network connectivity. The test results of applying this topology processor to a real world Chinese distribution system with more than 8000 nodes indicate the efficiency of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

It is designed to work inside the control center with phasor measurement units (PMUs) providing the synchronized real-time measurements. Classification type decision tree (DT) models are utilized to predict voltage security status. Fast and direct measurement from PMUs combined with decision trees quickly assesses voltage security, leaving more time for corrective or preventive actions. Two attributes are considered in the decision tree models: generator VArs and angular difference. Both are observed to be good indicators of voltage security status. The paper focuses on the angle difference attributes because bus voltage angle is directly measured by the PMUs. A stressed power system is characterized by widening angular separation of bus voltage angles as it moves towards voltage insecurity. DTs exploit the complex nonlinear relationship between voltage security status and generator VArs/angular difference in terms of hierarchical rules extracted from a large number of offline loadflow simulations. Several DT models were analyzed using the existing PMUs, and in the future when additional PMUs are incrementally installed. A PMU placement technique is discussed to determine the critical locations of new PMUs. The voltage security monitoring system was tested on a 360-bus subsystem inside AEP.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.
