Therefore, the vacuum insulation system is expected to find wider application, such as disconnecting switch and earthing switch. To investigate the reliability of equipment of vacuum insulation, a study was carried out to clarify breakdown probability distributions in vacuum gap. Experiments were carried out to compare a uniform field gap and nonuniform field gap on the breakdown probability distributions. Further, experiments were carried out to investigate effects of no-load switching on the breakdown probability distributions for vacuum disconnecting switch. The electrode materials were oxygen-free copper and copper-chromium alloy. The test results show that the breakdown probability distribution of the vacuum gap can be represented by a Weibull distribution using a location parameter, which show the voltage that permits a zero breakdown probability. When aiming for highly reliable vacuum disconnecting switch, an important factor is insulation design with the location parameter just mentioned take into account. The location parameter obtained Weibull plot depends on electrode area. This is probably because the existence probability of factors as weak-points for breakdowns such as micro-protrusions and microparticles depends on the electrode area. The shape parameter obtained Weibull plot of vacuum gap was 10/spl sim/13, and is constant irrespective non-uniform field factor. The breakdown probability distribution after no-load switching can be represented by Weibull distribution using a location parameter. The shape parameter after no-load switching was 6/spl sim/8.5, and is constant, irrespective of gap length. This indicates that the scatter of breakdown voltage was increased by no-load switching. It is supposed that the cause of this phenomena is generation of microparticles and field emission site on the surface of copper-chromium contacts.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"18 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":"122225881","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 we focus on the impacts on distribution system resulted from connected induction generators. In case of synchronous generator, it is able to inject both real and reactive powers into the system. However, for an induction generator, it can only inject real power into system whereas it needs to draw reactive power from the grid, resulting in lower power factor and consequently increasing power loss to the connected system. We employ load flow calculation to analyse and verify its impact to the system. The results based on an actual radial distribution system show that an induction generator connected to a distribution grid is likely to create more loss.","PeriodicalId":289535,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"2 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":"129290172","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 coordination provides a guide for investing adequate PQ improvement equipment and locating these equipments. A method is proposed in this paper to assess the reliability indices of feeders and service quality requirements of different customer types. It finds a match between quality requirements of the loads and the feeder service performance by feeder reconfiguration.
