It is difficult to get an accurate status of corroded ground grids with traditional methods. A novel method is proposed, by which the corrosion status of a grounding grid can be diagnosed from measured port resistances among the touchable down-lead conductors connected to the grounding grid. First, the mathematical relationship between the corrosion status of the grounding grid's all grounding conductors and the measured port resistances is deduced in detail based on circuit models and theory. Then, an appropriate mathematical model is discussed for practicable computation. The completed corrosion diagnosis system, including hardware device of data measurement, diagnosis and analysis software, is also introduced concisely. Finally, a field test report is provided to validate this new method.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

For utility companies, the IPPs' participation and environmental impact should be considered simultaneously when making an optimal generation expansion plan under new environment. This paper discusses the probability of IPPs' participant for a utility company and proposes an approach for determining the optimal generation mix including IPPs under limited CO/sub 2/ emission. Based on the successive approximations DP (SADP) algorithm, an optimal generation expansion plan including IPPs, which coordinates the economy and supply reliability is obtained.

To meet the needs of higher reliability from consumers after restructuring of the electricity industry in China, a very important reliability criterion has been made to enhance the transmission reliability. Some of important system operation criteria, such as voltage control, reactive power compensation, frequency control, load following, under frequency loadshedding, and relay layout, are also mentioned.

The vector method is adopted to synthesize a model for the 3-phase IM. This model comprises three-input variables and three-output variables which coincide with the synchronous reference frame. The input variables of this model are the stator angular frequency and the two components of the stator space voltage vector while the output variables are the rotor angular velocity and the two components of the stator space flux linkage. The objective of the proposed controlled system is to achieve motor speed control, field orientation control and constant flux control. A new error system is introduced into the control law to increase the robustness of the system. The preview feed-forward steps of the desired signal and disturbance signal are used to improve the transient response of the system. A space vector PWM control technique for a voltage source fed IM is prepared for microprocessor based control. Spectral analysis of the output voltage is evaluated to predict the effect of the proposed space vector modulation (SVM) technique on the dynamic performance of the IM. The optimal preview controlled system is synthesized and its applicability and robustness are demonstrated by digital computer simulation results.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

Protection equipment automatically breaks the circuit when the power quality is degraded too much. In many cases short voltage sags or interruptions that last for only a hundred milliseconds lead to stoppage for hours in the production. This is mainly due to long start-up times of the industrial process. Simulations have been done on a blast furnace blower in the steel plant SSAB Oxelosund in Sweden. A line operated synchronous machine powers this. The results show that it is possible to reconnect to the mains if the voltage interruption is no longer than 150 ms long. If the remaining voltage is higher than 55% there is no need to break at all. These results show that changing the settings in the protection equipment may reduce the number of unwanted shutdowns.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

Nonlinear fuzzy logic control fields promise in reducing this compared with conventional PID control. Comparisons between nonlinear fuzzy logic proportional derivative controllers and conventional linear PID controllers are made by simulating a buck converter subjected to large step load current changes. It was found that the choice of freewheeling switch (uncontrolled diode or synchronous rectifier) is a major factor in improved output voltage control. Fuzzy Logic controllers are investigated as arbitrary transfer characteristic generators. Membership function shape, degree of overlap, and number of overlaps, are examined, along with choice of rule table values, as to the effect on the transfer characteristic of the controller. Results are presented as transfer characteristic plots, 3D control surface plots, Bode plots, and step response plots for the buck converter.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.
