The analysis of the three-phase transverse-electro- magnetic (TEM) line based on the Park approach represents, under the theoretical and the applicative point of view, an important analytical tool. For these reasons, this paper presents the analysis of lossy (quasi-TEM) three-phase transmission lines in terms of three-phase vectors, based on the Park transformation. The three-phase transmission-line transient analysis presented in this paper emphasizes the conceptual contents specific to the Park approach. Furthermore, applied to some examples, it gives very important results for the practical analysis of a lossy three-phase transmission line. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) have become the primary choice for most new and retrofit precision motor-control applications, offering major improvements in system efficiency. The significant increase in the use of ASDs makes it important to understand the compatibility issues between ASDs and their electrical environment in order to appropriately design the electrical systems. Even though there have been numerous studies addressing ASD effects on power systems, models for predicting the effect of the source voltage sags or unbalance have been limited. This paper is devoted to the analysis of utility-side input current harmonics under input voltage unbalance and sag conditions and the effects of these harmonics on the distribution transformer K-factor for practical ASD systems. The relationships between the unbalanced input voltages, the resulting input current harmonics, the input inductance, and the required transformer K-factor are explored for 5 hp, 100 hp, and 600 hp power distribution systems with ASDs. The results can be used as a design guide for power distribution system design with ASDs. Theoretical derivations are accompanied by both simulations and experimental results to provide verification of key conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper outlines the extension of harmonic domain modeling to flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices which contain series voltage injection elements. The proposed iterative technique is capable of modeling generic combinations of series and shunt converters; representing these elements as harmonic current and voltage sources, respectively. The harmonic performance of these converter combinations is characterized in terms of dc current mismatches, which are combined with fundamental frequency power-flow mismatches in an iterative Newton solution. This combination maintains modularity, allowing multiple converter FACTS devices, such as the unified power-flow controller (UPFC), and/or systems containing multiple FACTS devices to be studied. The proposed technique has been successfully validated against time-domain simulation for the UPFC and then used to highlight converter interactions within a UPFC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the application of a combined adaptive Fourier filtering technique and fault detector to fast distance protection of transmission lines. The filtering technique is extended from the Fourier filters and can be applied under arbitrary data window length. The proposed filtering technique possesses the advantage of recursive computing, and a decaying dc offset component is removed from fault signals by using an adaptive compensation method. A variable data window scheme is embedded in the technique to adaptively speed up its transient response under various system and fault conditions. A fault detector is developed to initiate the process of the technique. For the sake of speed and security, two phasor estimation methods based on the proposed technique are designed to achieve fast distance protection. An algorithm consisting of the two methods is used to detect internal faults by "OR" logic. Extensive simulation studies show that the algorithm significantly reduces tripping time of a distance relay and provides better protection performance than that of the conventional filters with fixed data windows.

In this paper, a method for placement of distributed generation (DG) units in distribution networks has been presented. This method is based on the analysis of power flow continuation and determination of most sensitive buses to voltage collapse. This method is executed on a typical 34-bus test system and yields efficiency in improvement of voltage profile and reduction of power losses; it also may permit an increase in power transfer capacity, maximum loading, and voltage stability margin.

The role of a battery energy storage system in a unified power-flow control scheme is examined. Analysis shows that the capability of the storage system to support power transmission is governed by the state of discharge (SOD) of the battery. A changeover to a standby battery is necessary once the inservice battery SOD exceeds the level determined from the analytical method described in this paper. The method also permits, the battery changeover schedule to be evaluated for a given load demand profile. Furthermore, the capacity of the battery system is determined such that the resulting system operates under an optimal economic dispatch condition, while the transfer capability of the compensated transmission is maximized.

MAGNETIC fields ,POWER transmission ,ELECTRICAL engineering ,ELECTRIC power ,ENGINEERING - Abstract
The "static" analysis (relevant to fixed load conditions) of current phase-shift effects on the magnetic field from ac double-circuit overhead transmission lines (Part I of this paper) becomes "dynamic" here by considering time-varying load conditions of an existing line, derived from a database recorded from 1994 to 2001, thereby showing that current phase shift plays a major role also when load changes. Indeed, often extreme field values over a time period are not associated with extreme current values, but with current phase shifts that, for given line geometry and conductor arrangement, yield the most effective field enhancement/reduction. An estimate of the mean/median phase-shift angle over a reference period is proposed that provides a good approximation, via one single static calculation, of the mean/median magnetic-field profiles calculated over that period (e.g., one year). It is confirmed that current phase shifts are fundamental for understanding the behavior of magnetic fields from ac double-circuit overhead transmission lines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

POWER transmission ,ELECTRIC fault location ,ELECTRICAL engineering ,ENGINEERING ,ELECTRIC power failures - Abstract
In this paper, three element-oriented models based on simplified Bayesian networks with Noisy-Or and Noisy-And nodes are proposed to estimate the faulty section of a transmission power system. The three models are used to test if any transmission line, transformer, or busbar within a blackout area is faulty. They can deal with uncertain or incomplete data and knowledge relating to power system diagnosis, so they are flexible. The structures and initial parameters of the Bayesian networks depend on the prior knowledge of the domain experts. The parameters can be revised by using an error back propagation algorithm similar to the back- propagation algorithm for artificial neural networks. The fault diagnosis models do not vary with the change of the network structure, so they can be applied to any transmission power system. Furthermore, they have clear semantics, rapid reasoning, powerful error tolerance ability, and no convergence problem during the diagnosing procedure. Experimental tests show that the approach is feasible and efficient, so the prototype program based on the approach is promising to be used in a large transmission power system for online fault diagnosis.

In Japan during the 20th century, developments of high voltage transmission and distribution apparatus advanced tremendously and circuit breakers were the center of these developments. And as a result, 1100 kV SF6 gas insulated switchgear (GIS) for ac transmission systems and also 500 kV dc GIS for dc transmission systems have become available. Vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) have also been actively developed and a 168 kV two break VCB and 100 kA VCB are already available. This paper describes these developments and future trends in technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a new algorithm for locating faults on two-terminal power transmission lines. Unsynchronized two-end voltages and currents are processed for determining the sought distance to fault and the synchronization angle. The calculations are performed initially for the lumped model of a transmission line. Then, these results are used as the initial data for the Newton-Raphson method-based iterative calculations, in which the distributed parameter line model is utilized. The delivered fault location algorithm has been tested and evaluated with the fault data obtained from versatile ATP-EMTP simulations. The sample results of the evaluation are reported and discussed.

POWER transmission ,ELECTRICAL engineering ,ELECTRIC power ,ENGINEERING ,ELECTRONIC circuit design - Abstract
AC double-circuit overhead transmission lines may exhibit large phase-shift angles between current phasor terns of the two circuits. Here, a static analysis (relevant to single time instants or constant load conditions) of the role played by such a phase shift on the magnetic field established by these lines is performed, showing that the phase-shift angle interacts with the phase conductor arrangement, resulting in a wide variety of field profiles at a given line section. The analysis, carried out for two tower topologies and several couples of rms current values, reveals interesting general features of field profiles that depend only on the phase-shift angle. This proves that neglecting, or even misunderstanding, current phase-shift effects for ac double-circuit overhead transmission lines can lead to severe errors in field calculation that may have negative consequences on human exposure estimates, both at the design stage of new lines and at the rearrangement stage of existing lines.

In this work, a new model for the simulation of fast transients on nonuniform multiconductor transmission lines is presented. The proposed model is based on the method of characteristics of partial differential equations theory and includes a variation of the electrical parameters with the distance and frequency. In addition, Norton circuits for the transmission line ends, which allow the inclusion of the model into general-purpose programs, are presented. Results obtained with the proposed model are compared with those obtained with the Electromagnetic Transients Program and the Numerical Laplace Transform method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
