The model can be used to relate input quantities like solar array voltage and current to outputs like speed and torque. The simulation of the unified system is presented and the results can be used to select the ratings of the various components. Using a harmonic elimination technique, the inverter firing signals are so designed that lower order harmonics are eliminated. This helps in reducing unnecessary heating created by lower order harmonic currents and allows better utilization of the induction motor. Also, a simple technique to maximize the power output of solar array by modulating the duty ratio of the chopper is presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"24 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":"130059240","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}

Both are multistep predictor corrector algorithms and are implemented on a Cray-2 with four processors.

The typical corrosion rate of steel is 5-7 mils/year.

Fault simulation and system separation due to faults or out-of-step conditions must be represented. This is necessary for analysis of generator behavior within the system during the abnormal conditions. The program must be capable of simulating the behavior of distance and out-of-step relays under abnormal operations. Characteristics of these relays are briefly described. It is shown that the traditional approximate models may not always be capable of predicting the system behavior for a given load shedding scheme and cascading system outages may result through undesired tripping of the generator underfrequency relays. Several factors which influence the behavior of a power system under a given underfrequency load shedding scheme are described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"32 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":"122800160","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 effect of nonlinear load on parameters of a dynamic compensator for reactive power modulation using a static VAr compensator (SVC) is investigated. The values of gain and zero of the dynamic compensator, which assign the same complex-conjugate eigenvalues corresponding to electromechanical oscillations, are plotted at different values of load characteristics. The robust dynamic compensator is designed using closed-loop eigenvalue sensitivity with respect to the load characteristics. The rotor speed deviation of the synchronous generator is used as an input signal to the dynamic compensator. The output of the dynamic compensator is used as a stabilizing signal to the SVC. Eigenvalue analysis and simulation results show that a dynamic compensator designed at a constant impedance load model may lead to system instability at a constant active power load. However a robust dynamic compensator improves the system response over a wide range of load characteristics.<<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":"130171083","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 idea is to provide, in a very fast way, a reliable input database for the state estimator, without interacting with it. The solution is based on a pattern analysis approach. An efficient framework for solving data acquisition and processing problems, joining pattern analysis and analytical procedures, is suggested. Two different techniques of pattern analysis are combined to produce a classifier and an estimator with unique characteristics to deal with noisy environments. The patterns required for the training process can be acquired from the SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system and/or from load-flow simulations. Test results have been obtained for the IEEE 24-bus reliability test system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":330083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Second Annual North American Power Symposium","volume":"26 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":"121540843","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}
