Coordinated Control of Power Systems with HVDC Links

Today’s power systems are large networks of electrical energy sources and load components, connected over long distances mainly through alternating current (AC) transmission and distribution grids. This basic structure currently undergoes significant changes to ensure the stability, availability and sustainability of the future electrical energy infrastructure. As a result, power system operati...

Power limitations of the HVDC Transmission Power System

The scope of the presented paper is concentrated on two terminal HVDC transmission system. The intention of the paper is to present a precise insight into the limitations of the transmitted power of a HVDC system incorporated in real AC power system. The paper demonstrates the impacts of the combined AC/DC system model parameters on the transmitted power through the DC link. Also, in this paper...

Thermal model of oil power transformers with a tap changer

The paper presents a new method for on-line temperature calculation taking into account change in the tap changer position. The method introduces accurate calculation of the losses, depending on the current, average temperature of the winding, and tap changer position (it affects both Joules (DC) losses and stray losses). The thermal model itself is the common three-body model (for a transforme...

Reverse Power Flow Capability of Tap-changers

INTRODUCTION SWITCHING SEQUENCE A single resistor on-load tap changer comprising fixed contacts F1 and F2, transitional arcing contact T, main arcing contact M and bridging resistor R is shown in Fig. 1. A command initiates the switching operation from normal running position 1 to position 2, such that contact T starts to move left towards contact F2 (Fig. 1a). As T approaches F2 a recovery v...
