Experimental Measurements of Fault Level For Sceco West, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fault level represents the maximum short circuit current that a power system causes to flow to the point of short circuit. Due to change of network configuration, the fault level at any point of the power system network changes accordingly. It is not practical to apply full short circuit on the system in order to determine the fault level. This paper describes scheme for continuous measuring of the fault level at any point of the power system network. This scheme is composed of an antiparallel thyristor pair. The thyristor current, which is controlled by the firing angle, can be used to perform the on-line fault level measurement. Saudi Consolidated Electric Company (SCECO) West network has been simulated in the lab and the invented scheme has been applied to the network to measure the short circuit currents. The comparison between the measured and calculated short circuit currents shows results with high accuracy.

متن کاملOil Overdependence and Dutch Disease, KSA Evidence
In the context of recent oil prices fall and resulting budgetary problems faced by KSA, it is very interesting to examine the country’s overdependence on oil revenues. In this paper, we examine whether extreme oil dependence for Saudi Arabia is the symptom of Dutch Disease. We first provide a brief review of the literature on Dutch Disease and the natural resource curse. We then discuss the sym...

Background: Aedes aegypti is the main vector of the yellow fever and dengue virus. This mosquito has become the major indirect cause of morbidity and mortality of the human worldwide. Dengue virus activity has been reported recently in the western areas of Saudi Arabia. There is no vaccine for dengue virus until now, and the control of the disease depends on the control of the vector. Objectiv...
