The Effect Of Various Factors On Transient Recovery Voltage

A Power system is an connection of generators to load centres. Through H.V. electrical lines & in general is controlled mechanically. It can be divided into 3 subsystems: Generation, X’mission and Distribution-systems. The electric power demand is Growing and building of new generating units & transmission circuits is becoming difficult because of environmental & economic reasons. So, power utilities are forced to depend on utilization of existing generating units and to load existing lines close to their heating limits.

Filtering circuitry is initiated by spurious signals causing logic errors in electronic devices. This is due to noise. IS equipment is designed to withstand brownouts that lasts slightly more than 20% i.e. a few milliseconds. Under voltage does not cause damage but services are terminated. Silicon based equipment such as memories and processor are damaged by prolonged overvoltage due to power surge. This is after the surge protector equipment has be held conduit power intensity and prolonged exposure.

measurements of three-phase voltage and current samples obtained from the PSCAD/EMTDC. Fig. 8 depicts the 220 kV, 50 Hz simulated system one-line diagram. The other related parameters of the simulated system are shown in Table 1, transmission lines are assumed completely transposed. Fig. 9 & 10 show 3ph voltages and currents waveforms for 3ph to ground fault at 50% of the second line without and with UPFC respectively. It is clear that when UPFC is involved in the fault loop, the the voltage and current signals would be deviated from the actual value.

Our society today is ever more dependent upon electricity in all aspects of life. Keeping the power infrastructure throughout the United States secure and functioning properly should be considered a high priority for both private sector and government. Lacking properly functioning power caused by an outage has widespread impact not just on common conveniences being unavailable but also on critical areas such as emergency services, transportation, water distribution, communication and food production and storage.

Early engineers realised that higher voltage results in lower current through the power lines, resulting in lower power line losses. Today, long-haul power lines run at voltages of 300,000 volts in order to minimize the power loss. “Using transformers, it is easy to boost AC voltage to these high levels and then reduce this and reverse the process at the consumer end. DC doesn’t work in a transformer.”

A power system is always in a state of disturbance that may lead to instability in the system. The consequences of a major power supply interruption can prove to be so disastrous, that every effort must be made to reduce the impact of such a disturbance. The process of determining the steadiness of the power system following any upset is known as security assessment. In particular, MW security assessment is a process to evaluate the security of the power system following a disturbance. It is done considering the loading conditions in respect of MW power flow on the lines. Each line has a capacity to carry MW power up to transmission line design limits beyond which the lines may trip due to overloading. In this paper MW security assessment has

Present power system is in need of a high level of redundancy and reliable protection devices along with the periodic maintenance to keep the system healthy. In these circumstances, there is a need for an efficient protection

Although there is empirical support for the use of video self-modeling (VSM) as a fluency maintence and recovery tool for children, the effectiveness of VSM as a maintence tool in the treatment of adults has yet to be established. This study evaluated the effectiveness of (VSM) as a recovery tool for adults experiencing a decline after successfully completing a stuttering treatment program. It also explored participants’ viewing practices and perceptions of the use of VSM. Three adult males who recently completed the Comprehension Stuttering Program (CSP) and were unhappy with their level of fluency prior to the study, were the chosen participants. The participants viewed VSM recordings twice a week, for 6 weeks and a final interview was conducted

Continued presence of high-resistance grounding equipment prevents any excessive transient overvoltage excursions during the fault clearing period. The bus is low resistance grounded and the current here, during the fault, is limited to a value (400A) that will minimize burning damage at the point of fault, yet allowing sufficient current to flow for operation of the ground fault relays.

The DVR is one of the most common and effective solutions for protecting critical load against voltage sags [10] [11]. The DVR is a power electronic device used to inject three-phase voltages in series and in synchronism with the distribution feeder voltages in order to compensate for voltage sags. Moreover, it can be efficiently used to augment the fault ride through capability in wind applications. Detection time is an important factor in the voltage restitution process. Fast detection

The shortage of electricity in northern, central, and southern Alberta is creating increasing stress on the existing 240 kV transmission system. This will generate a great need of transmission reinforcement between the city of Calgary and the city of Edmonton. There is a Long-term transmission plan that identifies there is demand for a 485 kilometer, 500 kilovolt high voltage direct current (HVDC) lines between the two cities to address the issues that will provide reliability, efficiency, long term development and has potential to lead investment decisions. The transmission line requires converter stations and other relative facilities which are needed to convert power from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and back to alternating in order to serve the connections at each end.

Controlled opening subjects for controlling the contact separation of all the three poles of circuit breaker with respect to the phase angle of the current. Controlling of the point of contact separation determines the arcing time of the breaker contacts to help and prevent breaker and circuit switched to get not to fail in its operation and to minimize stress and disturbances to the power system. The implementation of controlled opening is randomly the same regardless of the equipment is to being switched. The control is straight forward once timing data for a breaker is available, particularly the time from energizing the trip coil to contact separation. Although controlled opening is greatly done using the current through the circuit breaker, the bus bar voltage can be used if the voltage current phase relationship is always known to us, such as for shunt reactor and switching of shunt capacitor. The breaker is controlled so that its contacts will part just after a current zero. As the contacts manage to open they draw out an arc that will extinguish less than a half cycle later at the next current zero position. When the arc will extinguish, the contacts would have been separates as far apart as practical, which provides the maximum dielectric strength available for the surrounding conditions. This gives the breaker its best chance of successfully with standing the recovery voltage and not having a re-ignition or a re-strike. Re-ignition is a dielectric breakdown that re establishes current within 90 electrical degrees of interruption. Re-strike is a dielectric breakdown after 90 degrees. Figure 3.4 shows the timing sequence for controlled

The importance of this study would be appreciated when one views the essential need of uninterrupted power supply for industrial and National development. The study will thus be of great need to correct the inefficiency in the sector, manifesting in incessant power outages, showing its performance and the need for more drastic reforms.
