First, an adaptive method was developed for obtaining the line impedance of a digital mimic filter. The variations of the obtained line impedance were then used to detect the CT saturations. By using the proposed algorithm, the saturation period of a current waveform can be accurately detected. This paper finally utilized the MATLAB/SIMULINK software and a DSP-based environment to verify the proposed algorithm. Test results show the proposed algorithm can accurately detect the CT saturations.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"24 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120890069","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 paper investigates small industrial induction motors that are operated under different mechanical load conditions. Experimental tests were performed to determine the system's PV characteristics and assess the voltage stability under different loading composition. The load characteristics of induction motor directly connected to the grid, as well as operated with a variable frequency drive (VFD) in open and closed loop speed control configurations were investigated experimentally. An equivalent exponential load model was identified for each configuration. The paper compares the constant power loads with the induction motor loads and shows that the VFD will have a pronounced effect on the load characteristic, which in turns affects the voltage stability.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120954703","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}

So an improved scheme is presented to make up for above shortcomings, and the EMTP simulation has shown that the improved scheme is effective.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121175763","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}

At the same time, generation companies are now exposed more than ever to risk and uncertainties which they cannot pass through to their customers in the form price increases as in a regulated environment. The central challenge for electricity generators is to maximize profits under uncertainty. But this optimization is not possible without a thorough understanding of long term expansion planning and competitors' behavior. In this paper a long-term expansion model (excluding hydroelectric plants) for a generation company operating in the deregulated electricity industry is presented. The model takes into account uncertainties such as electricity demand, fuel cost, pricing, expansion rate and investment under different scenarios and time periods.

The modifications are mandatory to eliminate the error that conventional AHN structure is reported to suffer from. This error originates from the mapping process, the corner stone in using AHN as an optimization tool. A new solution algorithm is developed by combining the AHN with the proposed modifications. In order to verify the effectiveness of the new algorithm, it is applied and tested to some examples reported in literature and the solution is then compared with that obtained by counterpart Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Unlike other AI techniques, the solution obtained using the modified AHN is more optimal and satisfying all the operating constraints.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124270552","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 paper describes a three-level approach used in the senior-level electric machines course at UNCC. In this course, students move directly from theory to hands-on exploration to real-world application. Following the first two stages of that process, students are able to model individual components. Using that ability, they then analyze a complete system. The course culminates in a design project focused on the design of a small power system similar to that encountered in a generating station.

In a capacity-energy combined market environment, suppliers have incentives to deliberately over-offer their capacities in the capacity market while bid very high price in the energy and ancillary markets to avoid operation. This paper analyzes the risks and profits of this capacity-over-offer behavior, and develops a method for computing non-operable penalty level which can prevent the capacity-over-offer behavior. It is found that the effective penalty level is highly correlated with the stochastic characteristics of the supplier's profit streams and attitudes towards risk. Two types of suppliers are identified with high potential of capacity cheating behavior in the analysis. The methodology and the results are potentially useful for regulating participants' misbehaviors and enhancing the operation security in a capacity-energy market environment.","PeriodicalId":258632,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127591590","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}
