The field from sources such as transformers, busbars and cables was studied. Shielding was performed at the sources rather than at the affected areas. Experimental, analytical and numerical methods were used. It was observed that a shielded transformer gives a good field reduction when contrasted to an unshielded one. The field of busbars and its mitigation was analysed using finite elements. Geometry and shielding materials were varied, it was found out that open shielding is more effective when using conductive rather than ferromagnetic materials. Two 1-phase coils, fed by low voltage and low current, mimicked the source performing active compensation of the 3-phase busbars.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

Power outages have more social and economic influences. It is very important that we grasp the state of power systems and operate the power systems stably. Therefore, preventive control is more desirable in power system operations. In this paper we propose a generation rescheduling method for transient stability to solve this problem. At first, using the contingency screening, we select severe contingencies for transient stability. If severe contingencies are found, we compute the kinetic energy change at the fault clearing time. Using this information and the linear relationship between the critical clearing time and the generator output at the faulted bus for the critical contingency, we determine the ratio of the generation rescheduling. The proposed method is demonstrated using a sample 4 machine 7 bus system.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

The speed control is achieved by controlling the free wheeling period of the resonant inductor of the quasi-resonant converter (QRC). A half wave (HW) constant frequency (CF) ZCS converter exhibits a nonlinear relationship between its ON time and average output voltage. Hence, a fuzzy speed controller is designed to get better performance under load conditions.

To provide reliable design criteria it is necessary to link the electrical shock safety criteria with acceptable risk levels applicable for people, in the context of an electrical power system under earth fault conditions. The paper addresses the basis of the various criteria and identifies inconsistencies that have been introduced when transferring laboratory data to published body current criteria. Interference theory and Monte Carlo simulation techniques are used to statistically appraise the actual level of safety afforded by various safety criteria when compared with the benchmark body current criteria. Directions for rationalisation or change are identified to ensure consistency with physiological criteria and to ensure that appropriate economic, as well as defensible levels of safety are applied to power system installations.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

The obtained neurocontroller provides an approximate solution of the matrix Riccati differential equation (MRDE). Hence, the obtained neuro-optimal controller performs, during dynamic regimes, the main tasks: smooth response, no oscillations on the control interval, no overshoot, fast compensation of the load torque, and input energy minimization. In order to obtain the accuracy of the optimal solution, the input pattern of the neuro-optimal controller was the choice to include all the nonlinearities of the three-phase induction motor in rotor field oriented coordinates fed by optimal current.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

The noncontact feature of the ICPT (inductively coupled power transfer) system is significant in that the charging is transparent to the driver. When the driver stops at the loading platform, the charging unit automatically senses the vehicle and begins charging if required. Four charging bays (buried under the ground) are provided allowing opportunity charging throughout the day. This minimises the necessary on-board batteries, and therefore the vehicle weight, while still allowing the vehicles to be operated continuously.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.

Unlike traditional mutation operators that scatter offspring with a fixed probabilistic distribution, the SF uses the shape of the population chosen by the selection operator as the probabilistic distribution in order to conform the offspring settlement to the fitness landscape. Experiments on test functions show that the SF is feasible both in search exploitation and exploration. Finally, the SF is applied to parameter estimation of a Kalman filter example that constitutes a 19-dimensional problem. Benchmarking with the expectation-maximization algorithm, the SF produces lower mean-square-estimates consistently. The robustness and feasibility of SF to practical problems are verified.","PeriodicalId":330989,"journal":{"name":"PowerCon 2000. 2000 International Conference on Power System Technology.
