To enable predictive maintenance the need arises for structured condition assessment of the power cables, by the use of diagnostic techniques. During the service life of distribution power cables the insulating materials are subject to structural changes. In most cases these changes can be seen as a degradation of the insulation properties of particular power cables. This contribution discusses the pitfalls and application of the combination of condition assessment, diagnostics and information systems applied to distribution power cables.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114169783","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}

So far, AGC (automatic generation control) has been focused on economic dispatch control and load frequency control; especially the latter is mainly on frequency stabilization for AC-link network systems. However, the upcoming power-electronics based HVDC transmission system offers new aspects for the improvement of frequency control. In this paper, 2-area and 3-area network systems are used to discuss how a HVDC interconnected system works to improve frequency fluctuation for random load disturbance. Because DC-interconnection provides an adequate power exchange, reduction of frequency deviations for both systems is achieved if the control gain is tuned properly. However, the effect differs by geometrical differences. In order to discuss the effectiveness of HVDC link for load frequency control, the HVDC-link is designed as a feedback system of system state variables, whose concept has been used for Hokkaido-Honshu link in Japan and also proposed for Minami-Fukumitsus link in Japan. The simulated load fluctuation model is constructed to demonstrate actual load's behavior. In AC-interconnected power systems, the HVDC-link connecting two of the local systems does not provide frequency improvement since power exchange has been already achieved on the links. However, if two isolated power systems are interconnected, the HVDC-link will make the important role to sustain the frequency deviation within regular tolerance even if the capacity is very small compared to those of two systems, these acts as a single system and the disturbance to the smaller system is cancelled as a tiny disturbance of the whole system.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117254481","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 two radial feeders were normally tied together at their ends to form a closed ring. The three different arrangements are the two feeders fed by the same transformer, by distinct transformers in a substation and by distinct transformers located in different substations, respectively. The power flows, voltage profiles and short-circuit capacities of the sample distribution feeders with originally radial arrangement and normally closed loop arrangement were evaluated, and the impacts of the arrangement upgrading were assessed.

Security and stability of three-phase transformers are both important and necessary for system operation. When a three-phase transformer is energized, the inrush current due to flux saturation in the core results in a malfunction of the differential relay and also causes a stress impact to the transformer. These have a bad effect on the security and stability of the power system. In this paper, an optimum nonsynchronous switching-on suppressing method of three-phase transformers inrush current is proposed. The proposed method is examined by experiment. It has excellent performance for suppressing three-phase inrush current. It is applied to design the protective system of a three-phase transformer. For the optimum nonsynchronous switching-on suppressing method, a protective system based on a single-chip controller is implemented. The system can distinguish fault current from inrush current. Therefore stress impact and overvoltage resulting from three-phase inrush current can be avoided. The active protection of three-phase transformer is obtained to improve the protective relaying system. Now, problems caused by three-phase inrush current can be detected and solved effectively.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116422921","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}

This is one of the most serious concerns among users of XLPE cables. The possibility whether measurement of residual charge is usable as a tool to detect water trees in XLPE is discussed. Two types of samples were used; one is an XLPE cable with water trees and the other is an XLPE sheet with water trees grown by AC voltage application. The sheet sample was used since we thought that we could easily check the growth of water trees and could also use a generator of a small capacity, which enabled precise experiments. The results obtained are summarized as follows. (1) Residual charge was not measured in the sheet sample because of its small electrode area. (2) Residual charge was detected in the cable sample. (3) A clear frequency dependence of the residual charge was not observed. A model of the residual charge measurement is proposed, where the charges accumulated in a water tree are oscillated by AC electric field and are diffused through the water tree path with a high conductivity. The frequency dependence of the residual charge is discussed by dividing it into the contribution of the electric field distribution, that of the detrapping process, and that of the carrier transportation process into the electrode. As a result, it is confirmed that the weak frequency dependence of the residual charge is reasonable.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128175126","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}

Several methodologies have been proposed. However, these methods require a lot of long term statistical data e.g. failure and repair rates, which may not be available at present in developing countries. There are some researches considering reliability cost/worth in term of Actual Performance data. Nevertheless, this method can only evaluate the past performance indices according to its past actual performance data. From this reason, it may not be possible to make a reasonable decision in distribution system planning and design. This paper proposes an approach to cope with this problem. The past performance data and the targets of system planning, customer average interruption duration index (CAIDI) and average power not supplied (APNS), will be used to generate the expect interruption events. To handle the uncertainty in setting the system targets, fuzzy concept is then applied. In this paper the proposed method together with Thailand's customer damage model (CCDF), obtained from the study conducted in the years 2000-2001, is employed to evaluate the reliability worth of the distribution system in Thailand.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127448815","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}
