Loading Capability Limits of Transmission LinesRaja Adapa
This document discusses the four main loading capability limits of transmission lines: thermal, voltage, dielectric, and stability limits. The thermal limit depends on ambient temperature, wind conditions, conductor size and is usually the main limiting factor. Voltage limits require the transmission voltage to be maintained within a specified range, like plus/minus 5% of nominal. The dielectric limit concerns insulation and allows for some increase in normal operating voltage. Stability limits involve ensuring the power system remains stable after the loss of a single element to prevent cascading outages. FACTS technology can help utilize more of the thermal limits and improve stability.
Power Quality is a combination of Voltage profile, Frequency profile, Harmonics contain and reliability of power supply.
The Power Quality is defined as the degree to which the power supply approaches the ideal case of stable, uninterrupted, zero distortion and disturbance free supply.
Reactive power is necessary to maintain adequate voltage levels to transmit active power across transmission systems. It is required for system reliability and to prevent voltage collapse. Voltage is controlled by managing the production and absorption of reactive power on the system. Both insufficient reactive power and excessive reactive power can cause voltage issues and equipment problems if voltage is not properly regulated. Reactive power reserves are also required to maintain voltage stability under contingency events like generator or transmission line outages.

Introduction
Semiconductor is a solid substance that has conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits.
Examples: Silicon, Germanium, Carbon
Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductor
Semiconductors are mainly classified into two categories: Intrinsic and Extrinsic. An intrinsic semiconductor material is chemically very pure and possesses poor conductivity. It has equal numbers of negative carriers (electrons) and positive carriers (holes). Where as an extrinsic semiconductor is an improved intrinsic semiconductor with a small amount of impurities added.
The Doping of Semiconductors
The addition of a small percentage of foreign atoms in the regular crystal lattice of silicon or germanium produces dramatic changes in their electrical properties, producing n-type and p-type semiconductors.
Pentavalent impurities
Impurity atoms with 5 valence electrons produce n-type semiconductors by contributing extra electrons.
Trivalent impurities
Impurity atoms with 3 valence electrons produce p-type semiconductors by producing a "hole" or electron deficiency.
N-Type Semiconductor
The addition of pentavalent impurities such as antimony, arsenic or phosphorous contributes free electrons, greatly increasing the conductivity of the intrinsic semiconductor. Phosphorous may be added by diffusion of phosphine gas (PH3).
P-Type Semiconductor
The addition of trivalent impurities such as boron, aluminum or gallium to an intrinsic semiconductor creates deficiencies of valence electrons,called "holes". It is typical to use B2H6 diborane gas to diffuse boron into the silicon material.
Diodes
A device that blocks current in one direction while letting current flow in another direction is called a diode. Diodes can be used in a number of ways. For example, a device that uses batteries often contains a diode that protects the device if you insert the batteries backward. The diode simply blocks any current from leaving the battery if it is reversed -- this protects the sensitive electronics in the device.
Wind power plants harness the power of wind to generate electricity. They work by using wind turbine blades to capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into rotational energy to spin a shaft. This shaft spins a generator to produce electricity. India has over 19,000 MW of installed wind power capacity as of 2013, the fifth largest in the world. The state of Tamil Nadu generates the most wind power in India. Wind power is a renewable and clean energy source but suffers from intermittent availability due to fluctuating wind speeds.
The document summarizes a seminar presentation on AC-DC converters given by Ankur Mahajan. The presentation covered single phase half wave and full wave converters. It discussed various rectifier types including uncontrolled, half controlled, and fully controlled bridges. It provided calculations for average and RMS voltage values for different converter configurations under resistive and inductive loads. The presentation also covered single phase half controlled and fully controlled bridge converters in both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes.
The document provides an overview of power electronic devices. It begins by defining power electronic devices as semiconductor devices used to convert or control electric power. It then discusses the key features of power electronic devices, including that they must handle large power levels and typically operate in switching states. The document outlines the basic configuration of a power electronic system and classifications of devices. It provides details on uncontrolled diodes, half-controlled thyristors, and fully-controlled devices. It also discusses characteristics, specifications, applications and history.
The document discusses power frequency disturbances, which are slower and longer lasting than electrical transients. Common power frequency disturbances include voltage sags caused by starting large loads like motors or arc furnaces, utility faults, and generator or load switching operations. Devices experience effects ranging from light flickering to equipment damage depending on the disturbance characteristics and equipment age. The document outlines various techniques to mitigate low frequency disturbances, such as isolation transformers, voltage regulators, uninterruptible power supply systems, and maintaining voltage levels within equipment tolerance criteria.
This document discusses protection of alternators. It describes common abnormalities and faults in alternators like failure of prime mover, field failure, overcurrent, overspeed, overvoltage, and unbalanced loading. It then discusses differential protection, which uses identical current transformers on each phase to detect differences in current indicating a fault. Modified differential protection and restricted earth fault protection are also covered. The document discusses other protection methods like negative phase sequence protection to detect unbalanced loading.
The document discusses generator protection systems. It introduces the basic electrical quantities used for protection like current, voltage, phase angle and frequency. Protective relays use one or more of these quantities to detect faults. The document then discusses different types of relays and circuit breakers used for protection. It describes various protection zones like generator, transformer, bus, line and utilization equipment zones. The rest of the document elaborates on different protection schemes for generators including stator protection, rotor protection, loss of excitation protection and reverse power protection.
Inspection of voltage sags and voltage swells incident in power quality probl...IRJET Journal
This document reviews voltage sags and swells, which are power quality problems that can occur in distribution systems. It defines voltage sags as temporary reductions in voltage between 10-90% of nominal voltage lasting from half a cycle to a few seconds. Voltage swells are increases between 110-180% of nominal voltage lasting 0.5 cycles to 1 minute. The document finds that voltage sags account for 31% of power quality issues reported. Major causes of sags and swells are discussed, such as faults, motor starting, and capacitor switching. Custom devices like DVRs and STATCOMs are mentioned as ways to mitigate sags and swells on the distribution system.
This document discusses various methods of neutral grounding systems for electrical power systems, including their advantages and disadvantages. It describes ungrounded systems, solidly grounded systems, and various resistance grounded systems such as low resistance, high resistance, and resonant grounding. Resistance grounding limits fault currents to reduce equipment damage while still allowing faults to be detected. High resistance grounding further limits currents to below 10 amps, requiring a detection system since faults will not trip breakers. Resonant grounding uses inductive reactance to cancel out the capacitive fault current. Earthing transformers provide an alternative return path for faults on delta windings.
Surge arrestors are protective devices that limit voltage spikes and surges from damaging electrical equipment. They work by diverting excess current during events like lightning strikes or power faults to ground. When voltage increases, the resistor inside the arrestor decreases in resistance, allowing extra current to drain out and prevent voltage from increasing in protected equipment. Surge arrestors are installed at substations and near transformers to shield sensitive equipment from voltage transients. They parallel arrangement allows surges to be discharged without propagating through the system.
This document discusses power quality issues related to distribution systems. It covers various power quality problems including voltage sags/interruptions, transients, flicker, and harmonic distortion. For each problem, it describes characteristics, potential causes, and impacts on equipment. It also outlines processes for evaluating power quality problems which include measurement/data collection, identifying the range of solutions, and evaluating solutions to determine the optimum for resolving issues. The document provides detailed explanations, diagrams and examples related to harmonics, transients, and their impacts on system components like transformers and AC motors.

Switchgear and protection engineering Lecture 02.pptxLoitaFredy
This document provides an introduction to switchgear, including its essential features and classifications. Switchgear is used to switch, control, and protect electrical circuits and equipment. It discusses key switchgear components like isolating switches, air breakers, lightning arresters, and bus bar arrangements. The essential features of switchgear include complete reliability, discrimination between faulty and healthy sections, quick operation, provision for manual and instrument control. Switchgear is classified by type, voltage rating, and accommodation. Common fault types on power systems are also summarized.
There are five main types of high voltage grounding systems: ungrounded, solidly grounded, resistance grounded, resonant grounded, and high resistance grounded. Resistance grounding limits fault currents to prevent equipment damage while still allowing faults to be detected. It works by connecting a grounding resistor between the neutral and ground to limit fault current to a safe level according to Ohm's law. This prevents damage but ensures protective devices can still operate to clear faults.
1) Electromagnetism involves magnetizing an iron core to create magnetic poles when current flows through a coil. Induction occurs when a changing magnetic field induces electric current in another coil.
2) A simple AC generator uses a rotating magnetic field to induce an electric current in stationary armature windings, producing an alternating current.
3) Connecting an AC generator to the grid requires the generator's current to oscillate at the same frequency and phase as the grid to avoid power surges that could damage equipment.
WHY POWER QUALITY AUDIT IS IMPORTANT ???chandan sudip
Poor power quality can damage electrical equipment and systems. A power quality audit is important to identify issues like voltage fluctuations, harmonics, spikes, sags, and frequency variations that may overload or prematurely age equipment. A power quality audit monitors factors like voltage drop, spikes, power factor, and unbalance to detect power quality problems in an electrical distribution system and understand their potential impacts. Regular power quality monitoring and audits help ensure electrical systems are protected from power quality issues.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

4. MULTI PHASE SAGS AND SINGLE PHASE
SAGS
• SINGLE PHASE SAGS
• The most common voltage sags, over 70%, are single phase events which are typically
due to a phase to ground fault occurring somewhere on the system. This phase to
ground fault appears as a single phase voltage sag on other feeders from the same
substation. Typical causes are lightning strikes, tree branches, animal contact etc. It is
not uncommon to see single phase voltage sags to 30% of nominal voltage or even
lower in industrial plants.
5. • PHASE TO PHASE SAGS
• 2 phase, phase to phase sags may be caused by tree branches, adverse weather,
animals or vehicle collision with utility poles. The two phase voltage sag will typically
appear on other feeders from the same substation.
6. • 3 PHASE SAGS
• Symmetrical 3 phase sags account for less than 20% of all sag events and are caused
either by switching or tripping of a 3 phase circuit breaker, switch or recloser which will
create a 3 phase voltage sag on other lines fed from the same substation.
• 3 phase sags will also be caused by starting large motors but this type of event typically
causes voltage sags to approximately 80% of nominal voltage and are usually confined
to an industrial plant or its immediate neighbours
7. WHERE DO VOLTAGE SAGS OCCUR?
1.UTILITY SYSTEMS
• Voltage sags can occur on utility systems
both at distribution voltages and
transmission voltages. voltage sags
which occur at higher voltages will
normally spread through a utility system
and will be transmitted to lower voltage
systems via transformers
8. WHERE DO VOLTAGE SAGS OCCUR?
2. INSIDE INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
• Voltage sags can be created within an industrial complex without any influence from the
utility system. These sags are typically caused by starting large motors or by electrical
faults inside the facility.
9. CAUSES OF VOLTAGE SAGS
UTILITY SYSTEMS
• OPERATION OF RECLOSERS AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
• If for any reason a sub-station circuit breaker or a recloser is tripped, then the line which
it is feeding will be temporarily disconnected. All other feeder lines from the same
substation system will see this disconnection event as a voltage sag which will spread to
consumers on these other lines (see fig). The depth of the voltage sag at the consumer’s
site will vary depending on the supply line voltage and the distance from the fault.
10. • EQUIPMENT FAILURE
• If electrical equipment fails due to overloading, cable faults etc, protective equipment will
operate at the sub-station and voltage sags will be seen on other feeder lines across the
utility system
• BAD WEATHER
• Thunderstorms and lightning strikes cause a significant number of voltage sags. If lightning
strikes a power line and continues to ground, this creates a line to ground fault. The line to
ground fault in turn creates a voltage sag and this reduced voltage can be seen over a wide
area. Note that the lightning strike to ground causes voltage sags on all other lines. Circuit
breakers and Reclosers operate more frequently in poor weather conditions.
11. • High winds can blow tree branches into power lines. As the tree branch strikes the line, a
line to ground fault occurs which creates a voltage sag. If the line protection system
does not operate immediately, a series of sags will occur if the branch repeatedly
touches the power line. Broken branches landing on power lines cause phase to phase
and phase to ground faults
• Snow and ice build up on power line insulators can cause flash-over, either phase to
ground or phase to phase. Similarly snow or ice falling from one line can cause it to
rebound and strike another line. These events cause voltage sags to spread through
other feeders on the system
12. • POLLUTION
• Salt spray build up on power line insulators over time in coastal areas can cause flash
over especially in stormy weather. Dust in arid inland areas can cause similar problems.
As circuit protector devices operate, voltage sags appear on other feeders
• VEHICLE PROBLEMS
• Utility power lines frequently run alongside public roads. Vehicles occasionally collide
with utility poles causing lines to touch, protective devices trip and voltage sags occur.
13. • ANIMALS & BIRDS
• Animals particularly squirrels, snakes occasionally find there way onto power lines or
transformers and can cause a short circuit either phase to phase or phase to ground.
large birds, geese and swans, fly into power lines and cause similar faults. while the
creature rarely survives, the protective circuit breaker operates and a voltage sag is
created on other feeders
• CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
• Even when all power lines are underground, digging foundations for new building
construction can result in damage to underground power lines and create voltage sags
14. • TRANSFER OF LOADS FROM ONE POWER SOURCE TO ANOTHER
• Most facilities contain emergency generators to maintain power to critical loads in case
of an emergency. Sudden application and rejection of loads to a generator could create
significant voltage sags or swells
• During power transfer from the utility to the generator, frequency deviations occur along
with voltage changes. The generator frequency can fluctuate as much as ±5 Hz for a
brief duration during this time. It is once again important to ensure that sensitive loads
can perform satisfactorily within this frequency tolerance for the duration of the
disturbance
15. • INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
• Voltage sags can be caused within an industrial facility or a group of facilities by the
starting of large electric motors either individually or in groups. The large current inrush
on starting can cause voltage sags in the local or adjacent areas even if the utility line
voltage remains at a constant nominal value
16. • INDUCTION MOTORS
• Draw starting currents ranging between 600 and 800% of their nominal full load currents.
The current starts at the high value and tapers off to the normal running current in about
2 to 8 sec, based on the motor design and load inertia. Depending on the instant at
which the voltage is applied to the motor, the current can be highly asymmetrical
17. • ARC FURNACES
• Arc furnaces operate by imposing a short circuit in a batch of metal and then drawing an
arc, which produces temperatures in excess of 10,000°c, which melt the metal batch.
Arc furnaces employ large inductors to stabilize the current due to the arc. Thousands of
amperes are drawn during the initial few seconds of the process.
18.
19. • Once the arc becomes stable, the current draw becomes more uniform. Due to the
nature of the current drawn by the arc furnace, which is extremely nonlinear, large
harmonic currents are also produced. Severe voltage sags are common in power lines
that supply large arc furnaces.
• furnaces are operated in conjunction with large capacitor banks and harmonic filters to
improve the power factor and also to filter the harmonic frequency currents so they do
not unduly affect other power users sharing the same power lines
20. • It is not uncommon to see arc furnaces supplied from dedicated utility power lines try to
minimize their impact on other power users. The presence of large capacitance in an
electrical system can result in voltage rise due to the leading reactive power demands of
the capacitors, unless they are adequately canceled by the lagging reactive power
required by the loads. This is why capacitor banks, whether for power factor correction
or harmonic current filtration, are switched on when the furnace is brought on line and
switched off when the arc furnace is off line.
21. CHARACTERISTICS OF VOLTAGE SAG
• Magnitude of the sag
• Duration of the sag
• Balanced or unbalanced
• Phase-angle jump
• Missing voltage
• Point at which sag initiated ..
23. • The magnitude of voltage sag determined from RMS voltage.
• The magnitude of the sag is considered as the residual voltage or remaining voltage during
the event
• RMS value during the sag is not completely constant and that the voltage does not
immediately recover after the fault.
• There are various ways of obtaining the sag magnitude from the RMS voltages.
• Most power quality monitors take the lowest value obtained during the event. As sags
normally have a constant RMS value during the deep part of the sag, using the lowest value
is an acceptable approximation
24. • In the case of a three phase system,
• Voltage sag can also be characterized by the minimum RMS -voltage during the sag if
the sag is symmetrical i.e. equally deep in all three phases
• If the sag is unsymmetrical, i.e. the sag is not equally deep in all three phases, the
phase with the lowest remaining voltage is used to characterize the sag
25. • The magnitude of voltage sags at a certain point in the system depends
1. The type and the resistance of the fault
2. The distance to the fault
3. The system configuration
26. The calculation of the sag magnitude for a fault
somewhere within a radial distribution system
• ZS is the source impedance at the PCC
and ZF is the impedance between the
PCC and the fault
• The voltage sag at the PCC equals the
voltage at the equipment terminals
27. • Assume that the pre-event voltage is
exactly 1 pu, thus E= 1.
28. • N is the number of samples per cycle
• Vi is the sampled voltage
• K is the instant at which RMS voltage is
estimated
• RMS value is calculated from previous
samples of voltage- post estimation
• One cycle window algorithm: RMS values
are estimated with one cycle of
instantaneous values
29. • Half cycle window algorithm: choose
instantaneous values over a half cycle
• More sensitive and faster response than
other
30. SAG DURATION
• The duration of voltage sag is mainly determined by the fault–clearing time.
• The actual duration of a sag is normally longer than the fault-clearing time.
• The duration of a voltage sag is the amount of time during which the voltage magnitude
is below threshold is typically chosen as 90% of the nominal voltage magnitude
• For three phase system, consider the three RMS values to find the duration
• The voltage sag starts when at least one of the RMS voltages drops below the sag-
starting threshold. The sag ends when all three voltages have recovered above the sag-
ending threshold
31. • The commonly used definition of sag duration is the number of cycles during which the
RMS voltage is below a given threshold.
• This threshold will be somewhat different for each monitor. But typical values are around
90% of the nominal voltage.
• A power quality monitor will typically calculate the RMS value once every cycle
32. • Post-fault sag will affect the sag duration.
• When the fault is cleared, the voltage does not recover immediately. This is mainly due
to the reenergizing and reacceleration of induction motor load
• This post-fault sag can last several seconds, much longer than the actual sag
33. • Magnitude-duration plot is a common tool used to show the quality of supply at a certain
location or the average quality of supply of a number of locations as the fault clearing
time depends on the type of transmission distribution system
• Faults in transmission systems are cleared faster than faults in distribution systems. In
transmission systems, the critical fault-clearing time is rather small
• Fast protection and fast circuit breakers are essential
• Distance protection or differential protection, both of which allow for fast clearing of the
fault
• The protection schemes used should have the ability to clear a fault within one half-cycle
35. INTRODUCTION
• Voltage sags are most costly of all power quality disturbances.
• Lead to disruption of manufacturing processes due to equipment being
unable to operate correctly at the reduced voltage levels.
• Industrial equipment such as variable speed drives and some control
systems are particularly sensitive to voltage sags.
• In many manufacturing processes, loss of only a few vital pieces of
equipment may lead to a full shut down of production leading to
significant financial losses.
• For some processes which are thermally sensitive a significant loss of
material as well as the time taken to clean up and restart the process
must also be considered.
36.
37. 1.Ferroresonant transformers
• FERRORESONANT transformers are designed to achieve
regulation with non-linear operation. They provide line
regulation, reduce harmonics, and are current limiting.
• Also known as Constant Voltage Transformers(CVT)
• Operates in the saturation region of the transformer B-H curve
39. • A ferroresonant transformer
consists of a core, a primary
winding, two secondary windings
(one for the load and one for the
capacitor) and a magnetic shunt
that separates the primary and
secondary windings
40. • The magnetic shunt provides a path for the imbalanced flux of the primary
and secondary by allowing a portion of the primary flux to return to the
primary winding without coupling the secondary. At the same time, it
allows the secondary flux to return to the secondary winding without
coupling the primary.
41. • OPERATION:
• When a voltage is applied to the primary winding the secondary voltage
increases as the primary voltage increases. As the primary voltage
increases the secondary voltage continues to increase up to a point of
discontinuity, or secondary resonance, where an abrupt increase, about
20 %, in secondary voltage occurs. The resonance effect immediately
increases the secondary flux density and causes saturation of that portion
of the core. This partial core saturation is the key to the magnetic design
of the ferroresonant transformer.
42. • The voltage induced in the capacitor winding by the primary flux causes a
capacitive current to flow. The flux due this current is in phase with the
primary flux. This flux addition occurs in the secondary portion of the
core. The increased flux saturates the portion of the core on the
secondary winding only. The primary portion of the core is operating
below saturation or below the “knee” of the magnetization curve.
43. • FERRORESONANT TRANSFORMERS are inherently self-protected
against short circuits, and are able to supply large surge currents if
required because of the large amount of energy stored in the secondary
circuit.
• Ferroresonant transformers are simple and relatively maintenance free
devices which can be very effective for small loads.
44. • Ferroresonant transformers are available in sizes up to around 25 KVA
• Voltage sags down to 30 % retained voltage can be mitigated through the
use of ferroresonant transformers.
• Typically ferroresonant transformer regulators can maintain secondary
voltage to within ±0.5% for changes in the primary voltages of ±20%
45. • The disadvantages of a ferroresonant transformer are:
• Frequency sensitive.
• Temperature sensitive.
• External magnetic field may require shielding for sensitive component.
• Ferroresonant transformers are generally not suitable for loads with high
inrush currents such as direct-on-line motors
46. STATIC TRANSFER SWITCH
• For facilities with a dual supply, one possible method of voltage sag
mitigation is through the use of a automatic static transfer switch.
• Upon detection of a voltage sag, these devices can transfer the load from
the normal supply feeder to the alternative supply feeder within half a
cycle.
47.
48. • Conventional transfer switches will switch from the primary supply to a
backup supply in seconds.
• Fast transfer switches that use vacuum breaker technology are available
that can transfer in about 2 electrical cycles. This can be fast enough to
protect many sensitive loads.
• Static switches use power electronic switches to accomplish the transfer
within about a quarter of an electrical cycle
50. VOLTAGE REGULATOR
• Voltage regulators are devices that can maintain a constant voltage
(within tolerance) for voltage changes of predetermined limits above and
below the nominal value.
• A switching voltage regulator maintains constant output voltage by
switching the taps of an autotransformer in response to changes in the
system voltage
• The electronic switch responds to a signal from the voltage-sensing
circuitry and switches to the tap connection necessary to maintain the
output voltage constant.
• The switching is typically accomplished within half of a cycle, which is
within the ride-through capability of most sensitive devices.
51. UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES (UPS)
• UPS mitigate voltage sags by supplying the load using stored energy.
• Upon detection of a voltage sag, the load is transferred from the mains
supply to the ups. Obviously, the capacity of load that can be supplied is
directly proportional to the amount of energy storage available.
• Ups systems have the advantage that they can mitigate all voltage sags
including outages for significant periods of time (depending on the size of
the ups).
54. • The load is always fed through the UPS. The incoming ac power is
rectified into dc power, which charges a bank of batteries. This dc power
is then inverted back into ac power, to feed the load.
• If the incoming ac power fails, the inverter is fed from the batteries and
continues to supply the load.
• However, the on-line operation increases the losses and may be
unnecessary for protection of many loads.
56. • A standby power supply is sometimes termed off-line UPS since the
normal line power is used to power the equipment until a disturbance is
detected and a switch transfers the load to the battery backed inverter.
The transfer time from the normal source to the battery-backed inverter is
important.
• 8 ms is the lower limit on interruption through for power-conscious
manufacturers. Therefore a transfer time of 4 ms would ensure continuity
of operation for the critical load.
• A standby power supply does not typically provide any transient
protection or voltage regulation as does an on-line ups. This is the most
common configuration for commodity UPS units available at retail stores
for protection of small computer loads.
57. • UPS specifications include kilo-voltampere capacity, dynamic and static
voltage regulation, harmonic distortion of the input current and output
voltage, surge protection, and noise attenuation. The specifications
should indicate, or the supplier should furnish, the test conditions under
which the specifications are valid.
59. • Similar in design to the standby UPS, the hybrid UPS utilizes a voltage
regulator on the UPS output to provide regulation to the load and
momentary ride-through when the transfer from normal to UPS supply is
made
60. FLY WHEEL AND MOTOR- GENERATOR SETS
• Flywheel systems use the energy stored in the inertia of a rotating
flywheel to mitigate voltage sags.
• A flywheel is coupled in series with a motor and a generator which in turn
is connected in series with the load.
• The flywheel is accelerated to a very high speed and when a voltage sag
occurs, the rotational energy of the decelerating flywheel is utilised to
supply the load.
• Flywheel storage systems are effective for mitigation of all voltage sags
including interruptions and can supply the load for a significant period of
time (up to several seconds depending on the size of the flywheel).
61.
62. • Flywheels have maintenance and reliability advantages over other energy
storage systems such as batteries. However, if large energy storage
capacities are required, flywheels must be large and are heavy. The
configuration has high losses during normal operation.
63.
64. • In this configuration, the motor which drives the flywheel is connected
through a variable speed drive. This connection arrangement results in
better starting characteristics for the flywheel and efficiency gains for the
motor.
• Connection of the ac generator to a voltage source converter increases
the amount of energy that can be extracted from the flywheel due to the
fact that the converter is able to produce a constant dc voltage, which
may then be used directly or converted back to ac voltage, over a wide
speed range.
65. SAG PROOFING TRANSFORMERS
• Known as voltage sag compensators
• A multi-winding transformer connected in series with the load
• These devices use static switches to change the transformer
turns ratio to compensate for the voltage sag
• Sag proofing transformers are effective for voltage sags to
approximately 40 % retained voltage
66.
67. • ADVANTAGE:
• Maintenance free and do not have the problems associated
with energy storage components
• DISADVANTAGE:
• Sag proofing transformers are only available for relatively small
loads of up to approximately 5 kVA.
• With the transformer connected in series, the system also adds
to losses and any failure of the transformer will lead to an
immediate loss of supply.
68. UTILITY EFFORTS IN MITIGATION OF VOLTAGE
SAGS
• REDUCE THE NUMBER OF FAULTS
• Limiting the number of faults is an effective way not only to reduce the
number of faults but also to reduce the frequencies of short and long term
interruptions
69. FAULT PREVENTIVE ACTION includes
• Tree trimming policies
• Addition of lightning arresters
• Proper insulators
• Addition of animal guards
• Considerable reduction of faults can be achieved by replacing
overhead lines by underground cables which are less affected
by bad weather
70. • REDUCE THE FAULT CLEARING TIME
• The modern static circuit breakers available are able to clear
the fault within a half cycle at power frequencies ensuring that
no voltage sag can last longer
• Redesign existing systems to achieve faster fault clearing time
• SYSTEM DESIGN AND CONFIGURATION
• By proper changes in the design and configuration we can
achieve reduction in voltage sag and other problems
72. SHORT INTERRUPTIONS
• Total interruption of electrical supply for duration from few
milliseconds to one or two seconds
• Causes:
• Opening and reclosing of protective device to decommission
the faulty part
• Insulation failure, insulator flashover, lightning
73. LONG INTERRUPTIONS
• Total interruption of electrical power supply for a duration greater
than one or two seconds
• Causes:
• Equipment failure in power system network
• Storms and objects(trees, vehicles etc)
• Striking lines, poles
• Fire
• Bad coordination of protective device
74. MOMENTARY POWER INTERRUPTIONS
• Lasts no longer than few seconds
• Causes:
• Lightning strikes
• Fallen branches
• Animals coming into contact with power lines
• Transfer of load from one source to another
• Advanced electronic devices are more sensitive to
disturbances
75. • How to minimize momentary interruptions
• Taller trees should be planted at a minimum distance of
30feets away from power lines
• Medium sized trees should be planted atleast 15 feet away
from power lines
• Care should be taken if small sized trees are planted near the
power lines
76. • Vulnerable equipments are
• Digital clocks
• VCR

77. POWER OUTAGES
Total interruption of electrical supply
Utilities have installed protection devices that briefly interrupts power to
allow time for a disturbance to dissipate
If lightning strikes the power line, large voltage is induced into the power
lines. The protection equipment momentarily interrupts power, allowing
time for the surge to dissipate
78. • Types of power outages:
• A transient fault is a momentary loss of power typically caused
by a temporary fault on a power line. Power is automatically
restored once the fault is cleared
• A blackout refers to the total loss of power to an area and is
the most severs form of power outage that can occur. It is
difficult to recover from it quickly
