The developed PMU enables to calculate the voltage and current phasors and the other state variables in power network systems from the measured instantaneous voltage and current in real-time. These phasor measurements provide vital information for stability analysis, and enable to evaluate power quality. In this paper, the authors propose a step-out prediction method in the power system using the phasor measurements. In this method, the power system is divided to the coherent groups of generators and each group is aggregated to one equivalent generator model. The aggregated model reflects the state and the structure of the actual power system at the present time. Then the state variables of each aggregated generator is estimated, at the same time the future phase angle is predicted by solving swing equations. In particular, the procedure and the evaluation of the effectiveness are confirmed in detail by some experiments using the real-time simulator (PSA).","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

The paper describes the design, testing and field experience with composite insulators over the past ten years. Composite insulators with silicone rubber sheds are well suited for use in high-voltage live tank circuit-breakers. Their performance is better than the traditionally known ceramic insulators, which have been verified by ample laboratory and field testing. Based on the considerations given above, composite insulators have the following features: increased safety; reduced handling damage risk; superior pollution performance; lower weight; excellent seismic performance; option for direct optic fibre incorporation.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

A case is considered where a hydro plant is located in the area of the wind farm. Interaction between the wind farm and the hydro power plant is given attention. Flicker contribution from the wind farm has been examined. The importance of considering the degree of synchronisation of power variations from individual windmills has been discussed. The exciter operation of the nearby hydro plant was found to have limited influence on the flicker results, thus representing the grid with a system impedance would be of sufficient accuracy for the investigation of flicker for this case. During transient situation it has been shown that disconnection of some windmills can be necessary to recover a stable operation of the power system. The results of the simulations are highly dependent on the type of models used, and they show that a representation of the turbine shaft is of high importance.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

The target is to communicate data reliably over power lines at speeds of at least 1 Mbits/s with frequency ranging from 1 MHz to 10 MHz. This test bed is integrated with a power line communication channel, power line couplers, loads and impairment devices for worst case environment simulation. A method for coupling the high-frequency signal onto and from the power line is discussed. The design of digital filters for transceivers using advanced digital signal processing techniques is presented. The digital filters are used to amplify, condition and recover the high-frequency signals which have been attenuated and corrupted by noise at the channel.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

If there is no change of load balancing in the system, then all the circles touch each other at the (0,0) coordinate. The circles with no load balancing are called zero load balancing change circles. The maximum load balancing loop in the network is identified by comparing the radii of all the modified zero load balancing change circles. The corresponding loop of the largest one gives the maximum improvement of load balancing in the network. Then the possible branch exchanges in the maximum load balancing loop are investigated by comparing the size of the circle for every branch-exchange. If the loads are balanced due to a branch exchange, the size of the circle diminishes and hence the smallest circle gives the maximum improvement in load balancing and the corresponding branch-exchange is considered to be the best candidate for maximum improvement in load balancing. To show the efficiency and performance of the proposed method for the solution of computationally complex and large dimensionality problems, a system with 69-bus and 7 laterals has been considered as the test system. Test results have shown that the proposed method can identify the most effective branch-exchange operations for load balancing with less computational effort and time. The number of load flow solutions has been reduced to a greater extent in the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.
