This paper deals with the measurement of AC corona inception voltage, Vincp, at the tip of a rod electrode using a hemispherically-capped rod-plane electrode configuration for various rod radii with a short air gap. Effects of atmospheric pressure and temperature variation on Vincp are investigated experimentally. An empirical equation for the field form factors of the hemispherically cappe...

voltage control is one of the imperative issues in the smart distribution control system. while traditional distribution network is equipped with communication and monitoring equipment, the online voltage control can be perfectly achieved. with using these smart grid technologies, the distribution voltage control schemes should carry out intelligently and cover the undesirable effect of high pe...

Islanded operation of distributed generators is a problem that can take place when they are connected to a distribution system. In this paper an islanding detection method is presented for inverter based distributed generation (DG) using under/over voltage relay. The method is an adaptive one and is based on the change of DG active power reference (Pref) in inverter control interface. The activ...

abstract: one the most important problems in recent sensitive loads is the quality of voltage. for this challenge custom power devices are used in distribution systems. dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) is a custom power device that improves voltage, decrease power distortion, filter harmonics and balance distributed generations (dgs) with low voltage distribution system. in this paper, a new algo...

in methods presented to calculate the voltage collapse point, the transmission system is usually the only part of the power system that is completely modeled. distribution systems are often replaced by aggregate load models because the use of the detailed model of distribution systems in voltage stability analysis not only increases the computation time, but also decreases the probability of co...

The development of communications and telecommunications infrastructure, followed by the extension of a new generation of smart distribution grids, has brought real-time control of distribution systems to electrical industry professionals’ attention. Also, the increasing use of distributed generation (DG) resources and the need for participation in the system voltage control, which is possible ...

The integration of distributed generation causes an increase of the voltage magnitude in low voltage grids. In addition to classical grid expansion distribution system operators have various options at their hands to reduce the voltage rise, e.g. by installing distribution transformers with on-load tap changers or voltage regulators. But for efficient control the network operators need informat...
