The authors observe that a system encounters both oscillatory-type instability and collapse-type instability using a sample power system model developed by I. Dobson et al. (1988). In addition to the collapse-type instability reported by Dobson et al., oscillatory-type instability is analyzed by using Hopf bifurcation theory. The authors analyze these two types of system instability in a sample power system via bifurcation theory. Collapse-type instability is studied through the center manifold reduction technique, which reduces the entire system dynamic model to a one dimensional manifold.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"108 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131057098","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 model consists of a parallel connection of two-transistors, three-resistor (2T-3R) cells. The accuracy of the model depends on the number of 2T-3R cells used. This multi-cell GTO model enables one to simulate the static-type negative differential resistance (NDR) I-V characteristics and the switching characteristics of the GTO with a high degree of accuracy. The experimental validation test shows that two parallel 2T-3R cells simulate the switching characteristics of the GTO accurately. A sensitivity study of the SPICE model performance with respect to the model parameters is used to develop the model synthesis procedure.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121634352","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}

Line, transformer and generator outages are considered. For any load in the system, overloaded branches are determined by comparing the system load to three load levels closest to the actual system load and using generator shift or branch outage distribution factors. The expert system, in conjunction with the DC load flow, is designed to identify the harmless and harmful contingencies as well as the overload branches. If a contingency cannot be determined as harmless or harmful then an AC load flow is suggested. Turbo-Prolog is used for symbolic manipulations and reasoning. The developed system is applied to a 12 bus power system. The results indicate that the expert system can be used in contingency screening as well as online operation to assist the operator.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117349592","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 results are compared with an experiment on the same system to verify the correctness of the digital model. A series motor is digitally simulated together with the digital model of the thyristor bridge. Speed control of the series motor is achieved by controlling the gate signals to the thyristors for delay angles from 60 degrees to 12 degrees for varying load torque. Torque and speed feedback are used to maintain constant speed of the motor for a full load torque step input. The steady state error is less than 0.2% of the no load speed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127421159","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}

Emphasis is given to the application of thyristor controlled reactors and thyristor switched capacitors. After a quick review of the application of static VAr compensators, a detailed theoretical analysis of the reactive power requirement is made. A mathematical model of the compensator is established for the possible controllable parameters. In the theoretical analysis, both symmetrical line and radial line systems are considered. Stability of a transmission line is analyzed for reactive power compensation. Present trends are discussed for finer continuous reactive power control. Solid state reactive power compensation without the need for large capacitors and reactors is seen to be the most probable candidate. Solid state devices for high power capability and transient response along with other reactive power requirements are also discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"56 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132389755","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}

Magnetic field exposure is defined as the amount of magnetic field a person is being subjected to over a specified time, expressed in milligauss-hours. One result of the MFE computation is a composite exposure index (CEI) which is defined as the total magnetic exposure received from all sources divided by the exposure period. The program is based on two accurate means of computing exposure for appliances and power lines. It divides the information into exposure groups to better display the large amount of data.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"304 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122723127","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}
