The Impact

When the electromagnetic transients occur in a power transformer, an inrush current is generated in its winding. The inrush current not only affects the performance of the transformer windings, but also affects the lifetime of the transformer. Many factors affect the inrush current, the most influential ones among which are the closing phase angle and the residual flux. In this paper, a dry-type transformer simulation model is built to analyze the influence of the inrush current on the performance of transformer windings during no-load reclosing conditions. Firstly, the inrush current was generated in the transformer windings during the no-load reclosing operation under different residual fluxes. Secondly, the field-circuit coupling 3d finite element method is used to analyze the electromagnetic force at different locations of the transformer windings under the influence of different inrush currents. The results of winding structural parameter variations are obtained through electromagnetic-structural coupling simulation, and the electromagnetic forces are used as the input parameter for the structural analysis. Finally, the residual flux is generated by controlling the opening and closing angle of the transformer through the phase-controlled switch, and the winding electromechanical characteristics are tested under different residual fluxes. Finally, comparisons of the test and simulation results are drawn to verify the impact of the closing angle and residual flux on inrush current and the winding deformation during the no-load reclosing conditions.

Analytical Expressions

The mathematical model of a shell-core power transformer’s magnetization branch is substantiated. By using the model, analytical expressions for the magnetizing current instantaneous values under the conditions of geomagnetic disturbances can be obtained. Quantitative assessments of the magnetizing inrush current amplitudes and durations versus the geomagnetic disturbance intensity are obtained. The dynamics of the power transformer magnetic system saturation transient and changes in the magnetization inrush current amplitudes and durations after a sudden occurrence of geomagnetic disturbances are shown. The error of estimating the magnetizing inrush current amplitudes under geomagnetic disturbances is determined based on comparison with experimental data.

The Impact

This article proposes a novel methodology to evaluate the visual impact of high-voltage lines in urban areas based on photographic images. The use of photographs allows for calculating the overall aesthetic impact while eliminating the subjective factors of the observer. To apply the proposed methodology based on photographs, the impact of the position and angle where the photograph was taken was analyzed, and a sensibility analysis was carried out. Moreover, it was applied to an application case, and a comparison with results from a previous study of a visual impact was performed. The methodology shows good performance and a better resolution of the indicator.

The Impact

The dipole spacing can directly affects the detecting sensitivity and accuracy in the landfill leakage detection by the high voltage direct current method. Based on the high voltage DC detecting model, the impact of dipole spacing on locating leaks is analyzed taking a single leak and multiple leaks as example. The results show that the greater the dipole spacing is, the higher the detecting sensitivity is; the smaller the dipole spacing is, the higher the detecting accuracy is. For multiple leaks, only one leak can be located when the dipole spacing is greater than the distance between the two leaks. In order to detect all leaks correctly, the dipole spacing should be smaller than the distance between the two leaks.

Advantages And Disadvantages

There is a high risk of insulation system dielectric instability when partial discharge (PD) occurs. Therefore, measurement and monitoring of PD is an important preventive tool to safeguard high-voltage equipment from wanton damage. PD can be detected using optical method to increase the detection threshold and to improve the performance of on-line measurement of PD in noise environment. The PD emitted energy as acoustic emission. We can use this emitted energy to detect PD signal. The best method to detect PD in power transformer is by using acoustic emission. Optical sensor has some advantages such as; high sensitivity, more accuracy small size. Furthermore, in on-site measurements and laboratory experiments, it isoptical methodthat gives very moderate signal attenuations. This paper reviews the available PD detection methods (involving high voltage equipment) such as; acoustic detection and optical detection. The advantages and disadvantages of each method have been explored and compared. The review suggests that optical detection techniques provide many advantages from the consideration of accuracy and suitability for the applications when compared to other techniques.

Telecommunications and computer equipment centralisation trends for the purpose of achieving economic benefits, usage of technological innovations and new technical solutions implementation leads to the requirements for building bigger Data Centres (DCs). An increase in the size of the DC facility i.e. the number of racks inside occupied with equipment and the number of devices that enables the proper functioning of that equipment leads to necessarily power energy requirements increasing for power supply. For the DCs that require a large amount of energy, the building of their own, usually renewable energy sources (RES) is cost-effective. In such a caser, RES are primary and Power System (PS) is secondary and redundant power source. A concept of a DC primary powered from RES is presented in this paper. Generated electrical energy in RES is transmitted in PS through high voltage switch-gears (SGs) while DC is power supplied from PS through low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage SG-s. For the purpose of realisation of such facility, it is necessary to enable adequate conditions related to geographical location, physical access to the facility, possibility of connecting to the PS and possibility of connecting to the telecommunications centres. Based on carried out researches related to RESs potential, available roads, power supply infrastructure and telecommunication infrastructure, development conditions for DC on location near to Belgrade, close to power transformer station „Belgrade 20“ are analysed in this paper. From the aspect of DC power supply, proposed solution includes wind farm, solar plant and landfill gas power plant, as well as related SGs. Telecommunication connections from DC to the PS and other important telecommunication centres are provided. These connections are realised through optical cables placed next to the electrical lines and cables, and, when that is not possible, placed independently in the ground. The design of the DC interior is given and calculations of the required electrical energy for the power supply of the equipment and devices in the facility are performed. Based on calculation results, capacity calculation of the RES and calculation of SGs are performed. Design of the interior optical connections inside DC is also given. A General assessment of the investment and economics of building such DC are given at the end of the paper.
