It is widely recognized that today’s demands in mechanical power transmission systems, (MPTS), are characterized on the world wide basis by an increasing variety of system combinations . This calls for the development and use of computer programs for designing such systems quickly and accuratelly . An important reason for using computer aided design, (CAD) of integrated in the design of MPTS is...

Power cable is widely used in Extra High Voltage (EHV), High Voltage (HV) transmission, Medium Voltage (MV) sub-transmission, and MV / Low Voltage (LV) distribution applications. Basically, the protection principles used for cable are similar with the ones for overhead transmission line. However, the inherent characteristics of cables make its fault behavior more complicate than that of transmi...

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...

In this paper, an understanding of reactive power associated with power transmission networks is developed. To make transmission networks operate within desired voltage limits, methods of making up or taking away reactive power— hereafter called reactive-power control—are discussed. Before proceeding further, however, a thorough understanding of the reactive power in ac systems is necessary. Th...

With the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...

In this paper the performance of unified power flow controller is investigated in controlling the flow of po wer over the transmission line. Voltage sources model is utilized to study the behaviour of the UPFC in regulating the active, reactive power and voltage profile. This model is incorporated in Newton Raphson algorithm for load flow studies. Simultaneous method is employed in which equati...
