This inverter can be used to control two ac loads such as electric motors, independently. While external current sensors are usually in closed loop control of inverter, this paper proposes using power semiconductor switches that include integrated pilot current sensors as mid switches of nine-switch inverter. In this manner, using only three integrated current sensors, both outputs of nine-switch inverter can be controlled. Since integrated current sensors can not cover current in each phase during the whole fundamental cycle, a reconstruction algorithm is proposed for calculation of non-measurable currents. Performance of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131313038","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}

CBM is a transmission capability margin reserved by load serving entities to meet the generation reliability requirements. In recent years, there are several methods developed to compute the CBM. However, the methodologies do not consider the reliability of an interconnected system in the CBM determination. This paper presents the computation of CBM considering the reliability of an interconnected system. It is important to consider the reliability of an interconnected system in the CBM determination because the interconnected system is used as a medium in transferring the power to an area in order to overcome the deficiency of generation reliability. The modified IEEE 24-bus Reliability Test System (RTS) is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in determining the CBM considering reliability of an interconnected system.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115843091","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}

Malaysia is currently enjoying a healthy generating reserve capacity in the electricity sector, with an additional increase of 4,780 megawatt (MW) new generating capacity. Based on actual ratio/percentage of power generated compare to power consumed, it is found out that the percentage is not in line with demand and for some cases the power generated is more than the demand that needed. Therefore there is a need to do a research in order to tackle this problem. For the generation side based from the research there is always an excessive power generated that has been use for power reserve. This reserve power should be use wisely instead of being reserve only. In this study case a new idea will be proposed to make a full use of this extra reserve and produce the best method of managing excessive power generated without even affecting the capacity of power in reserve. Sample of power demand and generation data were taken from Tenaga National Berhad (TNB) for the purpose of comparison of data. Part of the studies include study on the model of load curve and comparison with the previous 2 years of data. This research will also focuses on the effect of high peak load in total power demand. The results were analyzed and will be discussed based on literature and previous results obtained by other research. The significant of the project can be a modeling guide line to the power generation design of other researcher to cater for the problem that occurs.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114724818","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 major nonlinear effects in transformer core are saturation, eddy current and hysteresis. Saturation is the predominant effect in power transformers, followed by eddy current and hysteresis effects. In saturation, a transformer core act as a source of current generating harmonics, some of which will flow directly toward the primary and secondary windings. The method is based on harmonic content evaluated of the transformer no-load current with high magnetic flux density subjected. The investigation is done on single phase model core type transformer. The transformer is connected to variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) source and the investigation is done on the same flux density. The result has been compared with normal frequency supply (50 Hz). The results show that the harmonic content increase significantly when high magnetic flux densities are injected.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123969681","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}

Later, a comparative study of the performance of Fourier transform and wavelet transform based methods combined with protective relaying pattern classifier algorithm Neural Network for classification of faults is presented. A new classification method is proposed for decreasing training time and dimensions of NN. The proposed algorithms are based on Fourier transform analysis of fundamental frequency of current signals in the event of a short circuit.

Further, fuzzy control is proposed and the performance of fuzzy controller was compared with PI controller. Simulation result are presented and analyzed for both fuzzy and PI controllers.
