In this way, a comparative study of the SRM performances applying three different current control strategies has been performed. The natural-sampled pulse-width modulation (PWM) and the hysteresis-band current control with both fixed and adaptive hysteresis-band have been tested and compared for a 4-phase, 6-pole SRM fed by a symmetrical voltage-static inverter (VSI). The comparison of the different algorithms is presented on the base of the limitation of maximum switching frequency for the power semiconductors.","PeriodicalId":262115,"journal":{"name":"Electric Machines and Power Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117046603","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}

Loads are first modeled and reflected in the admittance matrix and then their respective buses are eliminated. The obtained model is a reduced model of the original system. The admittance matrix is of the same order as the number of voltage-controlled buses in the system. The variables of the reduced model are the voltage-controlled buses voltages, angles and active power generations. Newton Raphson method is used to calculate the variables of the reduced model while minimizing an objective function. Voltages and angles of the original system are then calculated by a direct method. These voltages are required to update load models and to check for voltage and line current violations at the eliminated portions of the network. The simulation is carried out on two systems, IEEE 118 bus test system and a 131 bus actual system.

The reserve is classified as short-term and long-term. For planning short-term power reserve to determine the required load shedding for avoiding blackout for severe emergency conditions, the dynamic behavior of the system after generating unit outages is performed, and the resulting frequency decay is analyzed. Therefore, the economical short-term reserve is determined to minimize the summation costs for reserve provision, plus the equivalent cost of the required load shedding. For planning of long-term reserve, the utility investments and other decisions factors that affect electric service reliability should be explicitly evaluated, on the basis of their cost and benefit implications. A cost benefit approach, that quantifies the power reserve benefit in terms of the reduction in unserved energy cost, enables the evaluation of generation capacity additions.

The formulation utilizes demand prediction to determine if control actions are necessary, and it schedules both shedding and restoration times based on an optimization model that minimizes the net cost of load shedding. Operational constraints are satisfied through the use of minimum/maximum uptimes/downtimes, which depend upon the current state of the system. The algorithm is evaluated using a simulation model of an underground coal mining operation where, (i) its performance is compared with a traditional static, priority-based, load-shedding schedule, and, (ii) its potential is established for producing net savings through demand control.","PeriodicalId":262115,"journal":{"name":"Electric Machines and Power Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114710755","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}

It is shown that generator control actions may not work to increase voltage collapse margin, whereas local control actions may produce better results.
