This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of distance relays for transmission line high voltage (HV) 400 kV in Eastern Algerian transmission networks at Group Sonelgaz compensated by two different series Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) i.e. GTO Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) connected at midpoint of an electrical tran...

We investigate different allocation problem in mobile adhoc networks. The objective is to minimize the power consumption and end-to-end distortion when transmitting images. Therefore, we use progressive image coding in combination with unequal erasure protection. We investigate two different scenarios, independent packet loss events and path loss events. For both cases, the expected distortion ...

Current differential based wide area protection (WAP) has recently been proposed as a technique to increase the reliability of protection systems. It increases system stability and can prevent large contingencies such as cascading outages and blackouts. This paper describes how power differential protection (PDP) can be used within a WAP and shows that the algorithm operates correctly for a...

In this paper, we propose a power assignment mechanism for direct-sequence ultra-wideband (DS UWB) wireless telemedicine system with unequal error protection. An essential feature of this system is that it offers larger power and schemes providing significant error protection for the transmission of medical information that requires higher quality of service (QoS). To realize maximum resource u...

To meet with the ever-enhancing load demands, new transmission lines should be bolted-on in the existing power system but the economic and environmental concerns are major constraints to this addition. Hence utilities have to rely on the existent power system infrastructure with some modifications. To enhance controllability and boost power transfer potential of the existing power system the us...

In this paper, we propose a direct-sequence ultra-wideband (DS UWB) transmission system for wireless telemedicine system. An essential feature of this system is that it offers larger power and schemes providing significant error protection for the transmission of medical information that requires higher quality of service (QoS). To realize maximum resource utilization, or minimum total transmis...

This paper presents a study of the performance of distance protection relays when series compensation (SC) is inserted on double circuit transmission line high voltage (HV) 400 kV in Algeria (Group Sonelgaz). The relays setting for distance protection is considered as a great challenge to power system protection engineers. Special considerations on the transmission line impedance measurement ar...

Protection practices in electric utility industry as it existed prior to re-structuring were designed to meet certain goals of sound engineering principles as they were applied, primarily to component protection in vertically integrated electric utility systems. There has been a significant shift in emphasis from uncomplicated component protection to system protection to avoid or mitigate wide-...
