It uses a novel technique to overcome the problem of current transformer saturation. The protection algorithm uses a combination of the percentage differential principles and the phase comparison technique. With a sampling rate of 1440 Hz (24 samples/cycle on a 60 Hz system) a realistic bus is considered for algorithm testing. With the incorporation of this saturation detector, the relay can yield a correct trip/block decision for either an internal or an external fault in the presence of current transformer saturation within one cycle. In the best case, this protection scheme can give a trip/block decision in a quarter cycle. Simulation results show that the saturation detection algorithm and the hybrid bus protection algorithm (using percentage differential and phase comparison principles) are simple, efficient, and accurate.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"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":"115519162","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 TEF method is used to predict the stability of a power system after a disturbance has occurred. The results of application of the technique to test power systems confirmed that the voltage dips predicted by the TEF method compare well with the values from time domain simulation techniques. An interesting observation is the discrepancy between the two time simulation programs. One of the programs used smaller values of network solution tolerance and solution time step as compared to the other time simulation program. The TEF results showed a consistent pattern of voltage behavior (i.e., the predicted values were lower than the time simulation values). Where there was a discrepancy between the two results, the error was on the conservative or safe side.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"7 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":"114797172","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 model of a short section of a 500 kV line is used. Results show that the mean value of the phase-to-ground voltage increases in both directions away from the zero switching angle where it shows a minimum. The minimum is more distinct in the case of sequential switching than in the simultaneous switching mode. Risk of insulation failure is calculated for both modes of switching. Although the mean values of phase-to-ground overvoltages are less with sequential switching, higher risks of failure are encountered. This is due to the increased scatter in overvoltages indicated by their standard deviation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"13 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":"122436013","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}

For this purpose an adaptive parameter estimation algorithm is used offline to obtain a linear discrete time dynamic equivalent system for each machine with respect to the rest of the system. This model is used as the basis for defining a coordinated subsystem reference model for each generating unit. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated on a multimachine power system using computer simulation studies.

The objectives of the study are (1) to model and simulate the speed and load changes of the two plants for a small step change of load applied anywhere in the power network and (2) to study the effect of variation of the Chukha governor parameters (within their operating ranges) on these responses. The effect of the Chukha governor parameters on the speed and load changes for a small disturbance in the power network is investigated. The governor and the turbine transfer functions of the power plants are combined together to yield the transfer function of speed devation against load change.<<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":"116658137","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}

Because certain transforms have associated with them a fast algorithm for digital computation, frequency domain analysis tools can substantially lessen the computational burden when solving for the response to a known system and input. Two elementary examples are included whereby the steady-state system response to nonsinusoidal load currents is calculated using the Hartley and Walsh transforms. A comparison between the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and conventional time domain convolution by lagged products is presented. Also, the authors present a brief introduction to the Mellin transform and its application to Euler linear, time-varying differential equations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"16 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":"126866282","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 methods utilize the generalized Benders decomposition (GBD) technique to decompose the VAr problem into two subproblems. The first level of the problem solves an optimal power flow problem by scheduling control variables including existing VAr sources. The two methods for the second-level discrete allocation process use a branch-and-bound enumeration technique and a mixed-integer linear programming technique. The constraints include security while minimizing the total investment cost.
