The rated power of a unit is basically the load level that will result in internal temperatures that are below the limits set forth by standard producing bodies such as IEEE and IEC. The normal life expectancy is a conventional reference basis for continuous duty under normal ambient temperature and rated operating conditions. The risks associated with overloading can be drastically reduced if the transformer conditions are closely monitored throughout the overload period. This paper discusses the cost/benefit evaluation of transformer overloading. It appears that cost/benefit analysis of transformer overloading with on-line monitoring is feasible and that a consistent financial model can be produced to calculate the payback time. This calculation requires hypothesis on load magnitude and duration along with economic conditions prevailing during the overload period.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

However, the capacity of the load is too large and not economical since the load of A/D converter of a digitized control switchboard (DCS) is recently limited to only several VA. Therefore, the authors have developed a simple voltage transformer (SVT) of coupling-capacitor type to meet the performances of DCS with low load, by inserting a cylindrical capacitor electrode into the branch bus of a GIS. To maintain the required accuracy of /spl plusmn/3%, the secondary output voltages from the SVT were corrected by the numerical control process unit of the DCS in this system, since the voltages were influenced by variation in external load. Coaxial cables were also applied as a measure against temperature variation. As a result, they found that the developed SVT provided accuracy of within /spl plusmn/3% in ambient temperature between -20/spl deg/C to +60/spl deg/C.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

The unit was purchased by the local utility company and given to the University of Nevada, Reno, USA, for the investigation. The Electrical Machine and the Power System Laboratory was used to perform the study. Testing was performed at several load set-point levels. The investigation includes the turbine behavior under a weak system that consists of the micro-turbine, a variable three-phase load, and a three-phase 15 kVA synchronous machine in the laboratory. The speed of this machine is controlled by a fuzzy logic algorithm.

The performance of the extended integral control is greatly dependent on the decaying factor. For an optimal or near optimal performance, it is necessary that the decaying factor as well as the feedback gains should be changed very quickly in response to changes in the system dynamics. However, because of its time-varing characteristic, the optimal decaying factor is difficult to be selected analytically. By adopting fuzzy set theory, the decaying factor can be determined quickly to respond to the variation of the feedback signals. This study builds a fuzzy rule base with use of the change of frequency and its rate as inputs. A set of decision rules is established to relate input signals to the decaying factor. The computer simulation has been conducted for the single machine system. The simulation results show that the proposed fuzzy logic based controller yields more improved control performance than the conventional PI controller.","PeriodicalId":253534,"journal":{"name":"2001 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

The PSS was developed as a \"core course\" introduction to power systems intended for both power and nonpower majors at I-Shou University (ISU), Taiwan. Through the use of the PSS, it can enhance student's understanding of the fundamental concept as well as the practical phenomena in power systems. This will hopefully help them in a better understanding of the practical aspects of power engineering, and therefore increase enrollments in power engineering courses at ISU.
