Fault current limiters (FCLs) are new and attractive devices to reduce short-circuit current levels significantly without adding additional impedance during normal operation. This paper summarizes the present R&D status of new FCL technologies, in particular superconducting FCLs (SCFCLs). At present SCFCLs are not commercially available but first field tests of medium voltage demonstrators showed the technical feasibility. In general, different types of SCFCLs have been developed and it depends very much on the specific application which type fits best the requirements. For the future, the two major R&D objectives are to develop high voltage SCFCLs (>100 kV) and simple and low cost SCFCLs for medium voltage levels (6-36 kV)","PeriodicalId":267582,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125772124","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}

In this paper, a joint optimization algorithm, based on the combination of capacitor switching and network reconfiguration, for loss reduction in distribution system is proposed. In method, an improved adaptive genetic algorithm(IAGA) is developed to optimize capacitor switching and is taken as the main optimization flow. The formulation of network reconfiguration is simplified according to the parameter features after capacitor switching. Capacitors at each location are encoded into binary strings and comprehensive optimization results, after carrying out network reconfiguration for each encoding string, are evaluated as fitness values of encoding strings. For IAGA based main optimization flow and the simplified formulation of network reconfiguration, the proposed method has effectively solved the problems of low computation efficiency and small searching spaces of the conventional joint optimization method.

Two types of torsional damping couplings, inertia damping coupling and elastic damping coupling, are adopted and examined. The optimal type and the optimal location of the damping coupling will be identified and installed to the turbine generator shaft section. The simulation results demonstrate that the best damper may not be installed at the location with the most onerous vibrations but provides satisfactory damping performance on shafts and blades following severe power disturbances in a HVDC link","PeriodicalId":267582,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Power Engineering Society General Meeting","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132379224","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}
