On-line Calibration of Instrument Transformers Using Synchrophasor Measurements
(Virginia Tech, 2017-10-27)
The world of power systems is ever changing; ever evolving. One such evolution was the advent of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). With the introduction of PMUs in the field, power system monitoring and control changed for ...
Analytical methods for electromechanical forces and torque computation in brushless permanent magnet machines
(Virginia Tech, 1991-02-05)
<p>The calculation of electromechanical forces that are present in a machine
due to the magnetic field set up by current-carrying conductors and coils, especially
when in the presence of permeable iron, is one of the most ...
Frequency and Damping Characteristics of Generators in Power Systems
(Virginia Tech, 2018-01-25)
A power system stability is essential for maintaining the power system oscillation frequency within a small and acceptable interval around its nominal frequency. Hence, it is necessary to study and control the frequency ...
A Line Outage Study for Prediction of Static Power Flow Redistribution
(Virginia Tech, 2016-09-06)
Transmission line is a crucial role in power transmission network which connects generating units to consumers. Some unpredicted failure events such as lightening or system faults can cause transmission line tripped, which ...
Impact of System Impedance on Harmonics Produced by Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
(Virginia Tech, 2015-05-11)
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are utilized in commercial and industrial facilities to improve motor efficiency and provide process flexibility. VFDs are nonlinear loads that inject harmonic currents into the power ...
Digital Implementation of Power System Metering and Protection
(Virginia Tech, 2015-01-17)
An entirely digital system is presented which has several benefits as compared to the systems that are deployed currently. Utilizing digital capabilities to a much greater extent than is currently used within the power ...
Real time generation station simulator
(Virginia Tech, 1988-06-15)
<p>A real time generation station simulator which is to be used as an operator trainer
is developed. The software developed simulates a Y-wound generator connected
to an infinite bus through a Î /Y step up transformer and ...
Utilization of Genetic Algorithms and Constrained Multivariable Function Minimization to Estimate Load Model Parameters from Disturbance Data
(Virginia Tech, 2013-07-02)
As the requirements to operate the electric power system become more stringent and operating costs must be kept to a minimum, operators and planners must ensure that power system models are accurate and capable of replicating ...
Size Optimization of Utility-Scale Solar PV System Considering Reliability Evaluation
(Virginia Tech, 2016-07-19)
In this work, a size optimization approach for utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is proposed. The purpose of the method is to determine the optimal solar energy generation capacity and optimal location by the ...
Examination of Power Systems Solutions Considering High Voltage Direct Current Transmission
(Virginia Tech, 2015-10-05)
Since the end of the Current Wars in the 19th Century, alternating current (AC) has dominated the production, transmission, and use of electrical energy. The chief reason for this dominance was (and continues to be) that ...
