Earlier work has shown how to perform system impact studies of distributed generation interconnections using lengthy model development and analysis. In order to reduce the analysis time, hosting capacity methods have been developed to determine, in advance, distributed generation interconnections that can be accepted at certain locations up to certain sizes, without detailed study. Hosting capacity...
In this survey paper, applications of medium voltage direct current (MVDC) to distribution substations are discussed and compared to conventional ac for power conversion from transmission voltage levels to distribution voltage levels. Technical changes in the substation due to the dc equipment, efficiency of the substation, and protective measures are major aspects to consider in the MVDC concept...
The Oncor Electric Delivery Renner Substation Static Var Compensator (SVC) project was completed in June, 2010 and consists of two parallel connected SVCs each with an installed capacity of -265 MVAr to +300 MVAr at 138 kV. The total rated capacity at the Renner 138 kV bus is -530 MVAr to +600 MVAr, making it one of the world's largest SVCs - the other is at the Oncor Parkdale Substation and is of...
The emerging clean-energy smart grid environment in the electric power sector has necessitated that related educational programs evolve to meet the needs of students, faculty, and employers alike. In order to prepare the next generation of power engineering professionals to meet the challenges ahead in the electric power sector, a new curriculum must be developed that includes core power engineering...
