We present results from an experiment where the effects of automatic flow control at a single substation is compared to automatic cooperative concurrent flow control at multiple substations. The latter approach is made possible by equipping individual substations with some computing power and integrating them into a communications network. Software agents, whose purpose is to cooperate with oth...

Intelligent inspection is more and more widely applied in all walks of life. This paper introduces the application of the intelligent inspection system in substation equipment management based on mobile phone terminal. It can make the power supply enterprise have more effective means to ensure the safe operation of equipment, improve equipment management level, and improve the economic benefits...

Power substations are intensively renovated toward using information and communication technologies such as object oriented modeling and Ethernet networks. In the last two decades, Substation automation systems used capabilities of network communication services adopted from sophisticated international standardizations such as IEC 61850. Distributed safety related functions take advantage of th...

The article presents the transients analysis of the substation grounding systems and transmission line tower footing resistances which can affect to the back-flashover (BF) or overvoltage across insulator chain in an HV power systems by using EMTP-RV software. The related transient modeling of the grounding systems is based on a transmission line (TL) model with considering the soil ionization....

Improving the reactive power and voltage profile of a distribution substation is investigated in this paper. The purpose is to properly determination of the shunt capacitors on/off status and suitable tap changer (TC) position of a substation transformer. In addition, the limitation of secondary bus voltage, the maximum allowable number of switching operation in a day for on load tap changer an...

In this paper, an efficient neural network based estimation technique has been studied to estimate the magnetic field strength near any power substation, and to assess the possible exposure to electromagnetic radiation received by the residents living near that substation. The measurement and the estimation were carried out in close proximity to different high powered equipment at four differen...

An expert system for distribution planning is proposed in this paper. Choosing a best location of a distribution substation and grouping the various load points to be fed from a particular distribution substation has always been a concern to the distribution planners. Here in this paper the authors present a hybridization of K-means clustering method with fuzzy context aware decision algorithm ...

Abstract In this paper, a hybrid twin scheme for power substations is proposed secondary system simulation, which can be used to support operator training and equipment testing. The composed of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) based substation digital reflect the real operating status both primary systems substation. Based on scheme, modeling method architecture are studied in paper. According substa...
