Also, renewable energy and distributed power generation have been introduced into power systems because of worldwide societal interest in environmental problems. However, renewable energies such as photovoltaic and wind power generation are unstable due to their dependence on natural sources. This has made power systems more complicated and potentially prone to large outages, particularly due to transient stability problem. Tie-line Available Transfer Capability (ATC) is an important transaction index. Previous ATC research has mainly focused on fast calculation, but more flexible transactions should also improve ATC. We propose an efficient generator output adjustment method for improving transient stability in ATC, taking into account calculation speed and economy.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128575586","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 proposed matrix converter topology transforms a 3-phase low frequency voltage system to a high frequency single phase voltage which in turn powers a series compensated IPT system. A comprehensive mathematical model is developed to investigate the behavior of the proposed IPT topology. Theoretical results are presented in comparison to simulations, which are performed in Matlab/ Simulink, to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed concept and the validity of the developed model.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127943047","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 security and reliability assessments for cascading failures of the power system are important and necessary. However, the system malfunction scenes are not possible evaluated wholly if multiple failures are considered. This paper presents a new approach to assess the system risk based on cascading failures firstly. This approach associates the occurrence probability of cascading failures with their damage on power system. The load conditions, the change of bus voltage and line flow are considered too. Secondly, malfunction scenes based on cascading failures are screened and selected according to the system risk evaluation results. At last, a practical 220kV Taiyuan power system in Shanxi Province of China has been analyzed to illustrate the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130078319","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}

This paper aims to study the characteristics of third harmonic voltage and current from generator when connected to balanced load via cable, generator load connection with different generator neutral grounding resistor and generator load connection shunted by zig-zag transformer. Lab scale experiments have been conducted to vary all parameters related to cable capacitor and generator neutral grounding resistor under various combined resistive and inductive load. Cable capacitance which depends on cable length, size and number of parallel cable, combined with load impedance determines the third harmonic current magnitude. The presence of cable capacitance that interact with generator inductance resulted to series harmonic resonance at 9th and 15th harmonic order that causes high 9th and 15th harmonic current flowing between generator and cable capacitor. Generator neutral grounding resistor can effectively reduce the third harmonic in the phase and neutral. However care should be taken not to use very high generator neutral grounding resistor that can also restrict earth fault current that may pose problem to the sensitivity of earth fault protection system. Zig-zag transformer efficiently divert third harmonic current from generator to enter the load but high circulating third harmonic current between generator and zig-zag transformer may pose heating problem to the equipments.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124356828","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 arbitrary voltage and current signals, use the DFT to get their sinusoidal expression, and calculate the time-varying active power and the time-varying reactive power. This definition is feasible for any periodical and non-periodical signals. It has a distinct physical meanings, especially the time-varying reactive power can show the scale and direction of load's electromagnetic energy oscillation.
