Underground distribution cable systems are particularly sensitive to this need, which can be effectively addressed by in-situ diagnostic tests. This paper discusses one such diagnostic method based on the location of discrete partial discharge sites. The paper briefly reviews the conditions under which a cable service would produce partial discharges. It illustrates the fact that, although cable systems undergo some overall deterioration, service failures occur at the sites of discrete defects, which in most instances can be identified by a partial discharge test. The principles of the test are reviewed and statistical data with significant case studies are presented. The effects of maximum test voltage and instrument sensitivity are discussed in the light of statistical field test data.","PeriodicalId":286352,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

The interaction is due to the change in source impedance caused by e.g. harmonic filters or capacitor banks and a mix of single and three phase nonlinear and linear loads. The active harmonic power flow in a certain point in a power system, with nonlinear loads, in most cases does not represent the actual flow to the loads in the downstream system. The harmonic active power is partly or completely included in the fundamental active power, depending on the mix of loads. Some basic examples are shown in addition with measurements from a low voltage system equipped with harmonic filters, feeding a nonlinear load.","PeriodicalId":286352,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

Up to now the main source of information to keep in mind the start cycle consists in graphic or charts given by the fuse makers for a reduced number of start typical conditions, smaller times to 6 s, 15 s and not bigger than 60 s, with start numbers from 2 to 32 per hour. If the cycle in the study differs from those mentioned, the user is forced to make extrapolations without too much knowledge on the consequences of the same. The under study phenomenon of aging takes place for the well known process of mechanical fatigue, originated by the compression and traction stresses, due to the increases and descents of temperature of the fuse elements during the start cycles. A simple analytic method was developed based on the start and off-start currents and the duration of the diverse cycles that it allows, in order to predict the maximum and minimum temperature that will be reached. Such temperatures by means of their comparison with temperature corresponding to the factor K of the Standard IEC 644 and their extension to other conditions different from the one normalized, allows the calculation in order to guarantee the fuse operation fret of aging. The method was experimentally tested on fusible of 125 A, 2.3 kV with very good results. Besides, was used to verify its application to cases mentioned in the specific references. Their practical employment is direct from the information usually given by the fuse maker, that is to say having the characteristic curve current-time and the K mentioned factor. The method can be extended to other applications of fuses with recurrent load, as it is the case of other protection of power semiconductors.","PeriodicalId":286352,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

The modeling task is described briefly and some details of the use of the MODELS language are given. The TCSC model is then used to investigate the capability of the TCSC for improving power system performance with respect to: subsynchronous resonance phenomena, fault current limitation, and line current control. Additionally, the innovative POD structure used in an actual TCSC in the Brazilian North-South interconnection is discussed along with some lest results.","PeriodicalId":286352,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.

PWM-SHE also results in higher utilization of the power conversion process since its fundamental output voltage is significantly higher than those obtained from the SPWM technique. This paper illustrates a 43% higher frequency attainable using the PWM-SHE technique as compared to the SPWM technique, within 5% loss limit consideration.","PeriodicalId":286352,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting.
