The implementation of Reliability Centered Maintenance into Preventive Maintenance Plan scheduling is one of the possible paths towards cost reductions in the fields of diagnostics and operating personnel. There is also the assumption of maintaining acceptable reliability of individual devices within the entire network. The devices to be considered suitable for application of RCM concern network elements present in sufficient quantities, supported with enough experience relevant to maintenance and with the data obtained through operative measurements and protection available. This data set forms ideal fundamentals for analysis and status assessment of a particular device. Provided the current status of a system element is known and it future development can be expected, the maintenance interval can be adjusted — giving priority to PMP applicable to devices in unsatisfactory condition and postponement of PMP for devices in good condition. This paper describes the design of software for PMP priority assessment pursuant to the RCM method with respect to priority assigned to electric power supply and evaluation of consequences for customers.

Harmonic voltage compensation of the load connected to the point of common coupling (PCC) by using a series of active power filter (SAPF) based on a single phase cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed. The proposed multilevel inverter are presented in detail. The inverter has the ability of acting as a harmonic source when the reference is a non-sinusoidal signal. To achieve this, a simple control technique is performed with the proposed inverter. A prototype of 7-level inverter based SAPF is manufactured without using a parallel passive filter (PPF) because it is designed to show SAPF own compensation capacity alone. Filtering ability of the SAPF is shown both in simulation and experimental studies. The validity of the proposed inverter based SAPF is verified by simulation as well as experimental study. The results show that the proposed multi-level inverter is suitable for SAPF applications.

This paper deals with the solution of transient phenomena during the connection of the photovoltaic power plants. There was investigated the impact of the failure of current protection for renewable energy sources during the network disconnection. There was verified the possibility of network operation during the islanding operation. Failure of network protection represents the significant hazard for employees of distribution system operator so it is necessary to solve the accurate current and voltage values during the connection of particular renewable energy sources.

Companies in field of electricity distribution and transmission recently deal with the need for decreasing cost of operation in terms of both capital and operational expenditures. They start to use statistically driven approaches of asset management to support these requirements in a way that reliability of the grid is being kept on the same level or even improved. However, the behavior of the assets is not the same in all times as both internal and external conditions change. This means that auto-calibration of models has to be applied to get the best results possible.

The aim of the study is to make a stability analysis of the system with an evaluation of problems can occur and their possible solutions, which keep the system operational. Three possible faults at generator, PV system and battery storage sides were simulated in DigSilent software. The results obtained for five different operational scenarios and show application possibilities in terms of the most critical regime.

This paper presents a method how to simulate overhead DC network transmission losses that are estimated by a variable location of an electric vehicle regarding to an invariable location of a traction substation. Electric public transport infrastructure is one of the major electrical energy consumers. Electrical energy amount which is acquired due to overhead line voltage drop and current flowing through wires is dissipated in heat and considered as energy losses. The distance between an electric vehicle and a substation is a relevant aspect that influences the amount of energy losses. Overhead DC network and trolleybus system virtual Matlab/Simulink model including a resistor subsystem for transmission loss imitation was developed. Presented energetic parameter characteristics were acquired from the chosen trolleybus Skoda 24Tr Irisbus motion simulations.

The effective protection of each type of sensible electronic piece of equipment against any type of over voltage (including direct or indirect lightning applied on power supply) is a big issue for power system specialists. Some of the most reliable electronic devices used in order to protect against overvoltages are all voltage metal oxide varistor based surge-arresters. These varistors are produced starting from a thick mixture of different metal oxides, where the main component (more than 80–90% as mass percentage) is ZnO. New improvements for these devices could be performed only by taking in consideration their mass production process, by placing different additives, having specific influences on the electrical and thermal behavior of the semiconductor material, mostly on their non-linear relation between the voltage applied and the current response as well as on their heat absorption capability. In literature there is no physical or mathematical model in order to assess the role of each dopant (additive) on the main characteristics. This is an experimental process which insures to the development of new semiconductor materials. This article will present a new manufacturing process (temperature and explain the influence of the sintering temperature on the electrical properties of two varsitor materials, with 2 and 5 additives.
