Synchronous Switching of Power Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Synchronous switching is one subject that have gained a great deal of relevance not only because of their potential for increasing reliability and for making a contribution to improve the overall power quality of the electric systems, but also for economic reasons. These concepts can be instrumental in minimizing the use of auxiliary components, such as pre-insertion resistors, in reducing equipment wear and unnecessary maintenance and thus reducing the total cost of ownership throughout the full lifetime of equipment. In this paper, the problems of controlled switching, specially in medium voltage networks, will be presented. Key-Words: controlled switching, transient overvoltages

متن کاملIslanding Detection of Synchronous Machine-Based DGs using Average Frequency Based Index
Identification of intentional and unintentional islanding situations of dispersed generators (DGs) is one of the most important protection concerns in power systems. Considering safety and reliability problems of distribution networks, an exact diagnosis index is required to discriminate the loss of the main network from the existing parallel operation. Hence, this paper introduces a new island...
متن کاملA High Efficiency Low-Voltage Soft Switching DC–DC Converter for Portable Applications
This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...

Self-tuning adaptive control technique has the advantage of being able to track the system operating conditions so that satisfactory control action can always be produced. Self-tuning algorithms can be implemented easily. Because the power systems are usually time varying non-linear systems and their parameters vary, adaptive controllers are very suitable for power systems. Characteristics of a...
