Wide Area Measurements using Phasor Measurement Units have become an important component of modern power system monitoring. Several applications of this technology have been reported in the literature. What is lacking at this time is an assessment of communication requirements of those applications. This paper summarizes the various applications of Wide Area Measurements that have been proposed, and...
Partial discharge (PD) location in online diagnostics on medium voltage cables is achieved using a sensor at each cable end. Monitoring consecutive cables with a single monitoring system would, however, be more efficient. Moreover, substations and ring main units (RMU) along a cable connection without possibilities for sensor installation can be circumvented by installing the sensor at the next RMU...
This paper is in the scope of fuel cell robust control. As a matter of fact, reliability and lifetime are the two major key points for fuel cell commercialization, especially as far as proton exchange membrane technology is concerned. To bring about these essential properties, the system designer needs to build a robust control law based on a suitable and on-line state of health knowledge. For this...
This paper introduces a method to monitor power quality in a large 33 kV distribution network with minimal power quality recorders. This is achieved by using an intelligent driven application which is pseudo-measurement based, to approximate the bus voltages and currents at various busses in the network. Bus impedance matrix is manipulated by rewriting the node-voltage equations for an n-bus power...
This paper describes a novel approach to monitor power quality in a large 33 kV distribution network with minimal power quality recorders.

Online partial discharge (PD) detection and location systems for medium-voltage (MV) cables have been developed over the past years and are currently introduced by utilities on an increasingly large scale. This paper addresses a few of the new challenges related to the integration of these systems in various cable networks. The effect of ring-main-units (RMUs) and substations on the propagation of...
This paper proposes a grid impedance monitoring system for distributed power generation electronic interfaces. The system estimates the grid equivalent impedance and voltage source from the voltage measurements performed at the point of common coupling. The estimation algorithm is based on a recursive least-squares algorithm implemented in the complex field. Simultaneously, the system evaluates the...
High-resistance(R) connections due to poor contacts in the electrical distribution system can cause failures due to overheating, reduce efficiency, and pose safety risks in the industrial facility. The methods currently available for detection of high-R connections such as infrared thermography, resistance or voltage unbalance tests are inconvenient since they are off-line or walk-around type tests...
Nowadays power quality, especially voltage quality becomes more and more important for utilities, manufacturers and customers as well as for the regulatory authorities. Therefore a growing number of voltage quality monitoring campaigns with continuously increasing measurement times, considerably longer than one week, are observed. The assessment of voltage quality according to common standards (e...
In case power line communication (PLC) method is applied to an electric power energy monitoring system, PLC module should be utilized. In this paper, PLC module using ST7538Q is implemented. The detailed design procedures are presented. The operation of the implemented PLC module is verified through the experimental results.
