With advancing technologies in the field of sensors and data acquisition systems it is feasible to develop and implement on-line condition monitoring systems for high voltage equipment. In the Department of Electrical Engineering, RMIT University, major research projects are in progress dealing with the development of such systems to assess the degree of degradation and the reliability of high voltage power equipment. In the scope of these projects, new systems are being developed for online monitoring of partial discharges (PD), leakage current (LC) due to pollution on insulators of outdoor power plant as well as other significant parameters related to the service condition of equipment. The partial discharges and leakage current monitoring sensors with their associated data acquisition systems have been fully developed and the prototypes have been extensively tested in the laboratory. The field trials have also been successfully conducted. Both systems have been developed keeping in mind their commercial viability which includes reliability of operation and low cost. The prototypes make use of nonintrusive sensors, fibre optic technology and state of the art data acquisition software and hardware. Enormous benefits to electric utilities can result from the introduction of such on-line monitoring devices in view of the reduction of down time, averting equipment failure and assisting in the formulation of effective maintenance strategies.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

Although the problem is originally a nonlinear optimization problem, it can be formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem without deterioration of solution accuracy to a certain extent. In order to obtain the linearized version of the problem, a new Jacobian matrix decomposition method is adopted in a unified approach of real and reactive power mismatch. The MILP code is developed by the branch and bound process search for the optimal solution. The variables for modeling transformer tap positions are handled as discrete integer ones, and other variables continuous ones. Numerical data resulting from a case study using a modified IEEE 30 bus system with contingency (line outages) show that the MILP can produce more reductions of magnitude in the operating cost, compared to the results obtained from the gradient projection programming approach based on the scheme of rounding intelligently and of weighting factor for fast convergence. The convergence characteristics of the results obtained from two optimization methods in searching for the optimal solution are also presented and discussed.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

Using different simulation cases, various fault types are modeled, considering the fault resistance to be constant or nonlinear and then considering the input device error. The calculated results are presented and discussed, and confirm the validity of representing the fault locator in a time domain simulation using MODELS.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.

The process of determining the stability of the system following the disturbances is known as security assessment. In particular, dynamic security assessment evaluates the stability of the power system with the time-dependent transition from pre-fault to post-fault states taken into consideration. For large disturbances, critical clearing time is a measure of the stability of the power system. The critical clearing time is a complex function of many variables, and its determination using conventional methods such as numerical integration is generally a time consuming and computationally intensive task. As an alternative approach, the artificial neural network is used in this paper to predict the critical clearing time. In particular, a multilayered feedforward neural network with error backpropagation algorithm was used to predict the critical clearing time of 2 different electric power systems; a 2 machine 5 bus system and a 3 machine 8 bus system. For the former power system, the optimal result of a percentage mean absolute error of 0.6% was obtained with a neural network structure of 1 hidden layer, 18 hidden neurons and the logistic activation function. The larger system had an optimal result of percentage mean absolute error of 2% with a neural network structure of 3 hidden layers, 30 hidden neurons and the logistic activation function.","PeriodicalId":434526,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of EMPD '98. 1998 International Conference on Energy Management and Power Delivery (Cat.
