Both generator and load power-frequency characteristics are estimated as transfer functions, using spectral analysis techniques. Generator characteristics can be determined as a transfer function of a two-input-single-output linear system. Although there is some difficulty in estimating load characteristics, it is shown that the estimate is given as a transfer function of the system with output measurement noise. The results of a simulation study indicate that the methods described are effective for estimating power-frequency characteristics.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116195542","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 parallel machine used in the computer simulation is a distributed memory multiprocessor arranged in a hypercube topology architecture. The nodes are based on the Inmos T800 processor with 4 MBytes of local memory. The simulation methodology is based on the interlaced alternating implicit integration scheme in which the network equations are reordered such that the network admittance matrix appears in the block bordered diagonal form and then is solved by a combined application of the LU factorization and the conjugate gradient method.

In this connection, the critical clearing time (CCT) is an attribute which provides significant information about the quality of the post-fault system behavior. It may be regarded as a complex mapping of the prefault, fault-on, and post-fault system conditions in the time domain. Y.-H. Pao and D.J. Solajic (1989) showed that a feedforward neural network can be used to learn this mapping and successfully perform under variable system operating conditions and topologies. In that work the system was described in terms of some conventionally used parameters. In contrast to using those pragmatic features selected on the basis of the engineering understanding of the problem, the possibility of using unsupervised and supervised learning paradigms to discover what combination of raw measurements are significant in determining CCT is considered. Correlation analysis and Euclidean metric are used to specify interfeature dependencies. An example of a 4-machine power system is used to illustrate the suggested approach.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131269165","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 approach uses an individual (a-b-c) phase-based system representation, a nontrivial transformer model, and includes the contribution due to load. The method can, therefore, be applied to balanced or unbalanced, radial, network, or mixed-type distribution systems. This approach is oriented toward applications in distribution system operation analysis rather than the more typical planning-oriented analysis. The solution method is an iterative compensation method, which uses a single optimally ordered factorization of the bus admittance matrix (Y/sub Bus/), commonly used in power flow analysis, to simulate the fault condition. The use of this method in a short circuit analysis program enables a factorized Y/sub Bus/ solution, resulting in many advantages. Using a common factorization, both power flow and short circuit analyses are possible in a single execution. Since the factorization is unchanged, multiple faults of various types can be simulated in one run of the program.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123997605","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}

A comparison between field test and calculation results enables the development of a model which takes into account the most decisive physical phenomena inherent in the very fast transients in the GIS.

This classifier maps vectors of an N-dimensional space to a 2-dimensional neural net in a nonlinear way, preserving the topological order of the input vectors. Therefore, secure operating points, that is, vectors inside the boundaries of the secure domain, are mapped to a different region of the neural map than insecure operating points. These mappings are studied using a nonlinear power system model.

Results are obtained by utilizing the successive overrelaxation (SOR) Newton parallel algorithm on the Alliant FX/8, an eight-processor parallel computer. For a 662 bus system, a total speedup, by partitioning and parallelizing, of 33.5 is obtained. Since parallelization by itself with 8 processors can produce a speedup of about 7, the partitioning scheme provides a speedup factor of about 5. The partitioning scheme is not specific to either the SOR Newton algorithm or the Alliant machine, and its application to any other parallel method should result in a similar speedup.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287152,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] Conference Papers 1991 Power Industry Computer Application Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128053914","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}
