Electric power systems consist of generation, transmission, and distribution components. As the demand for electricity grows seemingly endless, it is expected that a number of constraints, such as environmental, regulatory and economic, prevent the construction of new power plants and transmission lines. Finding improved ways to utilize the capacity supplied by existing power generation facilities...
Assessment of aging characteristics of conductors and other components of power transmission networks plays an important role in asset management systems. Due to adverse effects of conductor aging caused by annealing, the conductors lose their tensile strength. Although the loss of strength is gradual, it accumulates over time and increases the probability of outages and blackouts. Therefore, the...
A recently developed wind harvesting device based on the aeroelastic flutter effect was bench tested using a wind tunnel. This simple device, called windbelt, consists of a tensioned Mylar ribbon (airfoil) coupled to an electromagnetic transducer, and a power conditioning unit. This paper presents a characterization of the wind flutter generator. Parameters taken into account are: power, RMS voltage,...
