Handbook for application of neutral earthing resistors (NERs) at the substation
There are two main approaches generally adopted when applying impedance earthing techniques: one NER per transformer unit and one NER per substation serving one or more transformer unit(s). For one… Read more
Analysis of power system faults (transformers, rotating machines, overhead and cable lines)
Both, protective relays and fault locators for overhead lines are dependent on the results of the auxiliary algorithms, which are applied for identifying fault features, such as: fault detection, fault… Read more
Big data mining and analytics in substation automation and network management
This thesis begins with the study of current naming conventions used in the power systems. Two standards, the COMTRADE and the IEC 61850, that define the organizing of data are… Read more
Calculation of short-circuit withstand current rating for low voltage switchgear
Short-circuit current rating (SCCR) is the maximum short-circuit current a component or assembly can safely withstand when protected by a specific overcurrent protective device(s) or for a specified time. Short-circuit… Read more
Extra high voltage (E.H.V.) AC transmission engineering
Development of Extra High Voltage (EHV) AC transmission started its development since the end of the WW2, with the installation of 345 kV in North America and 400 kV in…...
