Natural ester seed oil based dielectric fluid is an environmentally advantaged fluid that is increasingly being used as a replacement for mineral oil and for high temperature flashpoint liquids, including silicone and R-TEMP. Considerable studies have been conducted to investigate heat aging performance of cellulose, electrical contact thermal stability, dielectric strength, moisture sensitivity, and cold temperature performance. A series of reports presents a summary of work that has been completed to date and examines initial customer experience with the use of natural esters in real transformers. The work contains both new transformers and retro-fills in distribution and power transformers as well as step voltage regulators and switchgear

In 1994, a Duke Power Company, 115 kV class, XLPE underground transmission cable failed. Failure analysis performed by Cable Technology Laboratories noted a low ac breakdown strength and suggested a high insulation moisture content as a likely reason. Duke Power opted to treat the remaining (un-failed) cables using CableCUREreg life-extension, fluid injection technology. The treated cables remained in service for an additional 10 years after injection. Ultimately a termination failure led to the decision to remove them from service. This allowed an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate the responsiveness of solid dielectric, transmission cables to fluid treatment. Until now most of the 60,000,000 feet of injected cable has been in the distribution class of cables. The results of that evaluation, published in this paper, demonstrate treatment effectiveness on par with results obtained on distribution class cables

The Georgia Power Company (GPC), an affiliate of Southern Company, commission the 0 to +87 Mvar Laurens County static VAR compensator (SVC) in May of 2005. This paper presents the Dublin, Georgia area transmission network, the requirements for voltage support, the planning and engineering studies used in rating the SVC and verifying its performance, and provides an overview of the SVC design and control strategy. The Laurens County SVC will be connected to the 115 kV bus of the North Dublin 230/115 kV substation to provide steady-state voltage regulation and dynamic VAR support following major disturbances in the Dublin area. The SVC control strategy employs steady-state voltage regulation of the 115 kV North Dublin bus by coordinating control of local and remote mechanically switched capacitor (MSC) banks with the objective of ensuring sufficient dynamic VARs remain available for major local system disturbances

The consumer portal is at the interface of the electrical network and the customer. It is a set of functions and capabilities that enables services for utility customers and also enables advanced applications that benefit the electrical system operation. Examples of portal applications include AMR, demand response, real time pricing, theft detection, remote disconnect, energy management, DER interface and control, and outage detection. Technologies for major aspects of the consumer portal, communications, security, and networking are available. The wake of failed portal pilot projects left by the utility industry demonstrates the need for a standardized, open architecture and gateway to allow technology providers to develop equipment and applications that meet the evolving needs of utilities. Consumer portal requirements and standards are designed to accommodate the numerous protocols and technologies that are in place today serving consumers for non-energy-related services

This paper describes a new iterative method to locate fault on a single transmission line. The method uses synchronized voltage and current measurements from both terminals. Using positive sequence components of the pre-fault and fault waveforms, positive sequence source impedances are estimated. Using these source impedances and the line data, positive sequence bus impedance matrix (Zbus) is formed. Using the properties of Zbus, an iterative algorithm is proposed to locate the fault. This algorithm is applied to the data obtained from the EMTP simulation of two transmission lines. The simulation results show that though the method gives fairly accurate results for both medium and long transmission lines, its performance is better for medium and short lines

This paper proposes a new strategy at the local (substation) level, aimed at preventing or mitigating the cascading blackouts that involve relay misoperations or inadequate local diagnostic support. The strategy consists of an advanced real-time tool that combines neural network based fault detection and classification (NNFDC) algorithm and synchronized sampling based fault location (SSFL) algorithm with a relay monitoring tool using event tree analysis (ETA). The fault analysis tool provides a reference for conventional distance relay with its better performance and the relay monitoring tool provides detailed local information about the disturbances. The idea of the entire strategy is to meet several NERC recommendations to prevent blackouts using wide area protection and control

This paper describes the theoretical basis of the developed computer program, GAUMOM (grounding analysis using method of moments). The software calculates the resistance and maximum step and touch potentials for any complex electrode in a two-layer earth structure using Galerkin's moment method. Validation was performed using the point matching moment method which yields accurate results provided that electrode segmentation is fine. From the results obtained, GAUMOM produces errors of 0.4% and 6.1%, in grid resistance and voltage respectively, for grids with rectangular meshes. However, for grids with triangular meshes, the errors in resistance and voltage are 3% and 21% respectively

This paper presents the application of fuzzy-neuro method to investigate transformer inrush current. Recently, the frequency environment of power systems has been made more complicated and the magnitude of second harmonic in inrush current has been decreased because of the improvement of cast steel. Therefore, traditional approaches will likely mal-operate in the case of magnetizing inrush with low second component and internal faults with high second harmonic. The proposed scheme enhances the inrush detection sensitivity of conventional techniques by using a fuzzy-neuro approach. Details of the design procedure and the results of performance studies with the proposed detector are given in the paper. Performance studies' results show that the proposed algorithm is fast and accurate
