This paper begins with a brief review of the available literature dealing with the exact modelling of iron-cored coils and transformers. Taking into account the simulation accuracy as well as the required computational burden, the model proposed by Ewart (1986) was chosen to study two important issues related to nonlinear cores: the overvoltages resulting from nonvertical chopping of core or transformer magnetizing currents; and the strongly distorted current, voltage and flux waveforms appearing in systems including linear as well as nonlinear inductances.<>

This paper describes electrical impact of nonutility generators (NUG) under 5 MW rating when connected to a distribution feeder. A number of problems are examined including line-to-ground fault level, overvoltage conditions, effect of harmonics, single-phase resonance and transformer backfeed with one phase open. These problems are examined with four different transformer connections. Protection requirements for various supply conditions are discussed. Two actual events involving transformer failure and starting problems are described under operating experiences.<>

Industrial power systems are often characterized as large consumers of reactive power and significant generators of harmonics because most of the load is generally composed of induction motors and static power converters. Consequently, this article analyzes a typical power system configuration where is it desirable to install power factor capacitors and tuned harmonic filters for reactive power compensation and harmonic control. The resonant conditions for a given power factor correction or a harmonic frequency are determined directly from the roots of a quadratic expression. This formulation also allows a quick evaluation of power factor range with excessive harmonic levels, as well as effects of tuned reactors on the resonant frequencies.<>

The lattice diagram has been widely recognized and adopted to analyze the voltage surges produced at a particular location in an electrical system. These transient surges are caused by traveling waves induced by lightning strikes or switching operations. The lattice diagram can be used effectively, but the required computations are tedious. A simplified approach for computing induced voltage surges based on mathematical derivation is presented. This method permits a quick evaluation of both an initial and crest surge magnitude and wave shape based on a given incoming surge and the surge impedances of the electrical elements involved. Sample calculations from the lattice diagram and the proposed quick evaluation are compared.<>

The presentation of key issues is based on extensive experience represented in case studies involving system configurations, power quality, standby/emergency power, electric utility service arrangements, and other pertinent issues.

When lightning strikes an electric substation, large currents generated by the stroke flow in the aboveground structures and grounding system and dissipate in the soil. The electromagnetic fields generated by such high currents may cause damage to equipment and may be dangerous to personnel working nearby. In this paper, the frequency and time domain performance of a substation subjected to a lightning strike is described and discussed. The computed scalar potentials, electric fields and magnetic fields are presented graphically as a function of spatial coordinates, as a function of time and as a function of both. Two cases are considered. The first case examines the substation grounding system only, while the second case includes an aboveground structure as well. It is believed that the results of the second case have not been published before. A double exponential lightning surge current is injected at one corner of the substation. The response of the grounding system to the frequency domain electromagnetic spectrum of this signal is computed by a frequency domain electromagnetic field analysis software package. The temporal and spatial distributions of the electromagnetic fields inside and near the substation are obtained by an inverse Fourier transformation of all these responses. The presence of a soil with an arbitrary resistivity and permittivity is accurately taken account. Analysis sheds some new light on understanding of the effects which take place at the higher frequencies.<>

For near to generator short-circuit analysis, it is well known that a rigorous calculation procedure requires the use of complex dynamic models of power system components. In most practical cases, however, it is sufficient to adopt simplified and standard based calculation methods. For these cases the paper suggests a new approach of the short-circuit models of power system components based on the "characteristic" currents method. The paper, at first, presents a short overview of the IEC Standard 909, assumed as reference for the proposed approach. The calculation assumptions and the simplifications of the IEC Standard are pointed out in order to evidence how the new approach proposed obtains conservative, but more accurate results. The "characteristic" currents procedure is successively applied to a sample network with external feeder and internal generation and with motor load. The same network is analyzed by means of the IEC procedure and by means of a computer program able to consider dynamic models of electrical equipment. A comparison among these approaches is carried out in order to validate the "characteristic" currents method.<>

Direct current (DC) power distribution systems have been extensively used in nuclear power plants and transit systems. The major concern of DC system studies is the voltage and voltage drop at load buses. A Newton-Raphson method based DC load flow algorithm and a DC system simulation package have been developed and reported in this paper. DC generators, batteries, AC/DC rectifier converters and constant power, constant current, constant resistance loads can be considered in the simulation. Time-varying and moving loads can also be simulated.<>
