An Interactive Power System Analyzer With Graphics For Educational Use

The paper presents a student-oriented power system analyzer with an interactive graphics display. Its capabilities include studies of (1) load flow, (2) load and generation, (3) voltage level control, (4) economic dispatch, and (5) contingency and planning analysis. Power network configurations of up to 30 buses can be presented clearly on one screen. The interactive nature of this program makes such studies effective and easy to use. With the support of a computer with graphics software and many graphics terminals, this program can be a useful teaching tool for power system studies.

The Application Of Bond Graphs To Electrical Machinery And Power Engineering

The bond graph technique, which has been related almost entirely to the field of mechanics, is a modeling procedure where emphasis is placed on the flow of power and energy in a system. Through specific digital simulation programs such as ENPORT IV and V and THTSIM the state space representation, associated output equations and system dynamic response are directly obtainable from the bond graphs. This approach has a great advantage where a complex system is composed of electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydraulic or pneumatic subsystems, such as would exist, for example; in a boiler, turbine, generator exciter system together with its associated controls. The purpose of this paper is three-fold: (1) to develop interest in the bond graph modeling technique in power engineering (2) to develop bond graph models for typical synchronous and induction machines which are not as well developed in the literature as are the graphs of mechanical components and (3) to complete some of the missing links in the development of bond graphs for electromechanical machines. Standard well known orthogonal axis transformations are used in the model development. The bond graphs thus developed from accurate mathematical relations can be easily integrated into other electrical or non-electrical systems through the power bonds of the graphs.

An Analytical Method For Quantifying The Electrical Space Heating Component Of A Cold Load Pick Up

After an extended cold weather outage on a distribution circuit supplying a high saturation of electrical space heating, large transient overcurrent\u27s persist for several hours because of the undiversified heating load. In this paper, the electrical space heating component of enduring demand is characterized by a smooth curve. Expressions are derived for the parameters of the curve in terms of the outage conditions and a statistical description of the residences. A method is suggested for using this characterization to determine the effects of a cold load pick up on the distribution circuit components.

Fast Transient Contingency Evaluation In Power Systems

The problem of creating a practical computational tool to perform transient contingency analysis in a power system control center is considered. The computer program developed may be used in a control center computer where a state estimation program or a consistent set of load flow data is available. It can be run on a periodic basis over a previously specified contingency list, or it can be called by the system operator to analyze a particular contingency. The transient behavior of the system is evaluated based on a simulation technique widely acknowledged for its fast solutions. The method uses rapidly convergent iterative solutions with the triangularized admittance matrix to solve the network equations and incorporates the differential equations using the implicit trapezoidal rule of integration. The program was developed assuming that the mechanical torque input for each generator remains constant throughout the simulation of a contingency. Also, network changes were handled in such a way that only one triangularization of the admittance matrix in its pre-fault conditions is required to analyze several contingencies under a given initial operating condition.

Considerations In Developing And Utilizing Operator Training Simulators

Effective electric system operation depends on strengthening the relationship between the system operator and the electrical system with its associated control system. This relationship can be developed through a training medium which increases the operator\u27s knowledge of the behavior of the power system under various operating conditions and contingencies, and its response to control actions. An Operator Training Simulator (OTS), which simulates the static and dynamic responses of the operator\u27s power system and his control system, can accomplish these training objectives. The concepts developed in this paper are based on the work of the project team through funding by the Electric Power Research Institute.
