The concept is based on distributed wireless sensors that are attached to the incoming and outgoing power lines of secondary substations. A sensor measures only phase current characteristics of the wire it is attached to, is not synchronized to other sensors and does not need configuration of triggering levels. The main novelty of the concept is in detecting and locating faults by combining power distribution network characteristics on system level with low power sampling methods for individual sensors. This concept enables the sensor design to be simple, energy efficient and thus applicable in new installations and for retrofit purposes in both overhead and underground electrical distribution systems.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126277102","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}

Complex distance characteristics can be used to provide sufficient resistive reach to cover the expected range of fault arc resistances, while at the same time are not affected by encroachment of the load impedance in the distance characteristic.

HV testing supplies the basic data (fingerprints) for diagnostics. In case of warnings by on-line diagnostic systems, off-line withstand and PD testing delivers the best possible information about defects and enables the classification of the risk. Because alternating voltage (AC) is the most important test voltage, the AC generation on site is considered. frequency tuned resonant (ACRF) test systems are best adapted to on-site conditions. They can be simply combined with PD measuring equipment.

An economic example is used to demonstrate the affect of transmission line errors. SCADA measurements from several utilities are used to compute the 'real world' value of the transmission line parameters.

These transmission lines are typically equipped with compensating devices, for example, shunt reactors. When a single phase to ground short circuit takes place, relay protection initiates circuit breakers at both sides of the line to open a faulted phase. Due to the electromagnetic coupling with unfaulted phases, the secondary arc from the faulted phase to the ground is supported for some time. The use of field test and ATP software, allows the analysis of transient electromagnetic processes at the transmission line with various levels of compensation during single phase autoreclosing. A developed multifactor algorithm for adaptive autoreclosing, by using measurements of electrical quantities at the faulted line, will determine in real time mode the moment when a secondary arc is extinguished. As a result, reclosing on existing fault is avoided, while restoration of the normal power supply is performed with minimal time interruption.","PeriodicalId":308184,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2004.","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134097103","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 pulsing load is generally modeled as step-load-step-unload where the step is a complete load and complete unload. This step in power creates a step in the electrical torque of a generator supplying electricity to the electric arc furnace. This step in torque creates a torsional interaction that can be potentially damaging to interconnecting shafts and possibly other parts of the generator rotor train. In the worst case the generator would be completely loaded and completely unloaded during each pulse. This paper presents a description of a simple system that could be used to investigate this torsional response. PSCAD/EMTDC is used as the tool to perform this investigation.
