This paper investigates the impact of different control modes of VSC HVdc to the transient stability of power systems. VSC HVdc offers fast bi-directional power control in addition to fast ac voltage control. This feature is utilized in this study to enhance the transient stability of a conventional generator in a power system. Simulations are carried-out for three scenarios: (i) the generator is...
Testing of Phasor Measurement Units (PMU devices) is necessary for any PMU application, be it a simple visualization and archiving system or a more complex set of real-time system operations tools. PMUs are available from virtually every manufacturer of protection and monitoring equipment. They are often implemented as embedded functions within relays or disturbance recorders. This paper describes...
The RTDS Simulator is a fully digital, real time power system simulator widely used in the industry. The system provides continuous real time electromagnetic transient simulations based on the Dommel algorithm. The simulator hardware and software have both undergone many improvements since the simulator was first introduced in the early 1990's. The improvements have increased the performance of the...
The authors describe tests on the relays on a long 500 kV AC line carried out on site using the real-time digital simulator developed by the Manitoba HVDC Research Centre. The purpose of the tests was to examine the relay behavior when series compensation is inserted in the line in 1993. New settings for the relays have been found which will give adequate cover for all faults although some faults...
This paper reports volt-time characteristics of air and air mixture with 1% SF6 additive for a 1.25 5.2 cm coaxial-cylinder gap. The surge voltages used included waveshapes of 0. 260 Ps, 1.25660 ps impulse voltages as well as 1511200 ps, 275/2500 , us switching surge voltages. The experimental pressure ranged from 100 to 500 kPa (absolute) Additional tests were conducted using rod-shpere gaps in dry...
