In the present paper, the problem of externally excited exponential transmission line hasbeen solved analytically in frequency domain using a simple approach. Then steplines approximationas a first order approximation for the problem of externally excited nonuniform transmission lines ingeneral and exponentially tapered transmission line (ETL) as a special case has been presented.Finally the tw...

When the ultra high voltage (UHV) substation used the gas insulated switchgear (GIS) system to switch lines with capacitive current, the pre-breakdown and multiple reignition will occur between switching contacts. Because of discharge characteristics of SF6 and special structures of GIS system, the variations of the electromagnetic transient process and very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) ar...

Surface charge accumulation is an important issue when dealing with the insulation property of direct-current gas-insulated transmission lines insulators. An improved method introduced to calculate surface distribution insulators based on three-dimensional (3D) geometry models high solution accuracy and computing efficiency. More than 90% memory time are reduced by applying weak form partial di...

This paper presents the impact study of GTO Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC) parameters on measured impedance (Zseen) by MHO distance relays for single transmission line high voltage 220 kV in the presence of single phase to earth fault with fault resistance (RF). The study deals with a 220 kV single electrical transmission line of Eastern Algerian transmission networks at Group Sonelgaz (Alg...

Voltage Source Converters (VSC) have for the first time been used for HVDC transmission in a real network. Experience from the design and commissioning of the transmission shows that the technology has now reached the stage where it is possible to build high voltage converters utilising Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs). Operation and system tests have proved that the properties that h...

We present photoionization models accounting for both photoelectric and resonant absorption. Resonance absorption lines from C, O, Ne, Mg, Si S and Fe between 0.1 and 10 keV are treated. In particular we consider the complex of almost 60 strong Fe L absorption lines around 1 keV. We calculate profiles, intensities and equivalent widths of each line, considering both Doppler and natural broadeni...

In the power industry, sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) as an insulating gas is widely used in gas-insulated switchgears (GISs). Owing to latent inner insulation defects of GIS, various SF decompositions are generated process partial superheating and discharge (PD). The decomposition components concentrations different under PD types. A number sensors were reported for detection these decompositions...

In this paper, the problem of transmission loss allocation has been studied and a new method for loss allocation in transaction-based markets has been proposed. To further this end, first transmission line loss equations were used with respect to bus injected currents. The share of each bus from the mentioned transmission line losses was determined. Then, this method was applied to the total ne...
