For this purpose, online assessment is needed to evaluate the impacted system components in a short time. Fast evaluation of a disturbance impact requires the formulation of dynamic equivalence of external systems. On the other hand, preventive measures for stability enhancement requires a priori knowledge of the components that will be affected by the disturbance. This paper presents the identification of coherent generators in power systems using an unsupervised learning neural network called a \"growing self-organizing feature map\" which dynamically generates the network architecture. The data for the neural network has been obtained from the simulation of a 1000 bus, 62 generator system.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

An understanding of the post-disturbance phenomena gained by simulation, has shown that during the initial slow phase, rotating units hold high levels of reactive power reserves which can sustain high transmission line loadings. Automatic measures that respond within the first phase would eliminate the need to constrain transmission line loadings by preventing the second disruptive phase, when reactive power reserves suddenly vanish. This is when voltage stability is lost and the power system collapses.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

The zero sequence impedance became nonlinear during the fault period, because the zero sequence current in a steel-pipe induced a magnetic saturation effect. Consequently, the zone protection of a cable in a steel-pipe has a serious error if a traditional distance relay is used. To correct this possible malfunction a novel idea using the proposed digital relay is presented. The physical zero sequence impedance will dynamically be modified according to the zero sequence current in case of a grounded fault. With such real cable data, an accurate fault location of cable in a steel-pipe is accordingly estimated.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

But gapped arresters form the bulk of the protection equipment and have been in use for more than 10 years. These arresters have undergone extensive deterioration and often are reported to have failed. The deterioration of their components, such as the electrodes forming the gaps, causes a significant change in their breakdown characteristics. A TNA model has been used to study the effect of change in the breakdown time on the voltage rise at the transformer end of a 132 kV substation under impulse voltage. A rise of 35% in the potential over the BIL at the transformer end is noticed when an impulse strikes the incoming line of a substation and when the breakdown time of the spark gap changes from 0.6 /spl mu/S to 4.0 /spl mu/S. The model simulation has been supported by computer simulation in Pspice.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

Besides economic considerations, a reconfigured distribution network operating at a minimum loss condition has some added advantages in the form of increased voltage stability and load balancing. This paper presents the relationship between voltage stability and loss minimization in which it can be shown that voltage stability is maximized when power losses are minimized in the networks. A relationship between load balancing and loss minimization is also presented. A new load balancing index is proposed and applied to a distribution network to investigate the improvement in load balancing after network reconfiguration. Test results indicate that improvement in voltage stability and load balancing can be achieved by network reconfiguration.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

A comparison between numerically calculated data and experimentally recorded data is also made in this paper. The ground conductivity is considered infinite and a triangular current pulse moving from ground to cloud through a 4 km upright vertical channel is taken as channel current. It is found that the calculated results are in reasonably good agreement with experimental results.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.
