Despite underground cables are not directly vulnerable to hazard, lightning strikes can induce a potential on the insulation layers of the underground cable and this may have enabled system disruption along the transmission system. According to the previous study in Malaysia, the most recorded current comes from lightning strikes are 34.5kA and 50kA. Moreover, this can be up to 100kA. Hence, this study was done to discover the probability of underground cable to having insulation breakdown due to overvoltage caused by lightning current penetrated into the soil medium which is breakdown channel in the soil medium probably been produced. This computer simulation was accomplished using an Alternative Transient Program version of the Electromagnetic Transients Program (ATP-EMTP) software to investigate whether the voltage induced due to lightning strikes can cause any breakdown in the insulation layers. The analysis was carried out using a network system composing of a 132kV Cu/XLPE/CWS/LDPE unarmored underground cable type with a length of 100 meters was modelled. By ejecting 34.5kA, 50kA and 100kA lightning current with 1/95 μs characteristic has been pervade into the modelled system. In addition, several types of soil medium to be represented into the electrical parameters in the whole electronic circuit system have been invented and analyzed. The study appeared that for the diverse parameters been used, which are various types of soil medium and three current generating from lightning impulse using a fixed designed cable. As a result, there is only a condition for the insulation layers of the cable system to encounter pierce and breakdown.","PeriodicalId":278078,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 7th International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"539 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129637276","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}

Tremendous simulations were performed on each part of the four circuits to find the best suitable circuits that were compatible to each other to be constructed physically where a portable natural enhancement material resistivity meter could be made into its first prototype. Note that there are three types of material under tests involved in this work, i.e. soil, Bentonite and Zeolite, under three conditions, i.e. dry, mid-wet and highly-wet. The prototype of a portable natural enhancement material resistivity meter is demonstrated to be perfectly working as the meter could be used to measure not only the soil resistivity but also resistivities of Bentonite and Zeolite too, which displayed higher resistivity values of dry specimens compared to the wet specimens.","PeriodicalId":278078,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 7th International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131161706","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}

Three human body model were created according to different conditions of the human body such as normal weight of human body, overweight human body and human with one metal leg in it. The resistance values of human body in each model were different according to different parts of human body. The project shows the different human body model can be simulated by injecting lightning strike current at different parts of human body which cannot be implemented in real experiment.

When the wind turbine with DFIG participates into frequency control in the power systems, in order to meet the demand, the DFIGs usually operate in de-loading condition. Thus, a strategy that DFIG uses suboptimal power tracking method to reserve active power for reducing economic loss of wind farm and let DFIGs to meet the capacity requirements of frequency control need to be realized. This paper only requires DFIG to participate into frequency control at high wind speed and set threshold of frequency control based on the economical setting when DFIG working in the high wind speed. According to frequency quality requirements of power grid and the frequency regulation capability that the DFIG needs to provide, the output active power of DFIG is traced to the suboptimal power curve to keep a certain adjustment margin for primary and secondary frequency control. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy could effectively improve the system frequency characteristics.","PeriodicalId":278078,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 7th International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128645193","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}

The transformation from traditional power grid into economical and reliably operated SG is contributed by demand side management (DSM). It has become one of the most vital areas of research for energy optimization in future SG. The DSM ensures the efficient utilization of electrical energy by altering the load profile with an active participation of consumers and contributes towards reducing peak demands so that system reliability increases. The participating users in DSM shift their loads to the low pricing hours. However, this results in the problem of rebound peak. This research work focuses on finding the efficient solution to minimize the overall cost of the consumed electricity while guaranteeing a low rebound peak. The optimization problem is formed in order to decrease the electric cost subjected to numerous constraints. By the use of convex optimization theory, two algorithms are proposed to efficiently solve the formulated problem. A novel concept of virtual price is presented to deal with the problem of rebound peak. Simulations results are presented to validate the benefits of proposed schemes. Results show a significant improvement in performance in terms of rebound peak and the cost reduction.","PeriodicalId":278078,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 7th International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127918818","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}
