Road lighting systems require a significant amount of electric energy. To compensate for the utilized energy, the concept of a nanogrid road lighting system is presented. A solar panel is installed on the top of a lighting pole to generate electric power. In this research, a photovoltaic simulator (PV simulator), which is used to simulate solar behavior such as current, voltage, and power based on temperature and solar irradiance levels, is employed to replace a solar panel. In the nanogrid system, grid-connected and stand-alone micro-inverters are employed to convert the electric power. The inverters comprise switching devices that can generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) when operating, which is harmful to the grid system and the electrical equipment. In general, EMI has been studied and reduced in electrical appliances, which only receive electric power. However, for the nanogrid system, which supplies electricity to the grid system, there is less study on the EMI topic because the usage is still not widespread. In the future, the nanogrid system will be widely used delivering high power directly into the electrical grid system. Therefore, the study and attenuation of EMI in the nanogrid system are very promising. Conducted emission (CE) is one form of EMI that flows through a cable connecting several appliances in the frequency range of 150 kHz to 30 MHz. CE of grid-connected and stand-alone micro-inverters have high levels in the low-frequency range between 150 kHz–5 MHz and then decreases steadily. CE attenuation is important for this inverter in a solar power system. This research studies the effect of CE mitigation on the nanogrid system. The result is compared with the Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radio (CISPR) 14-1 standard. Finally, the passive EMI filter can reduce CE and meets the CISPR 14-1 standard.

Abstract. Power transmission lines above the ground, cables and pipelines in the ground and under the sea, and in general all man-made long grounded conductors are exposed to the variations of the natural electromagnetic field. The resulting currents in the networks (commonly named geomagnetically induced currents, GIC), are produced by the conductive and/or inductive coupling and can compromise or even disrupt system operations and, in extreme cases, cause power blackouts, railway signalling mis-operation, or interfere with pipeline corrosion protection systems. To properly model the GIC in order to mitigate their impacts it is necessary to know the frequency dependence of the response of these systems to the geomagnetic variations which naturally span a wide frequency range. For that, the general equations of the electromagnetic induction in a multi-layered infinitely long cylinder (representing cable, power line wire, rail or pipeline) embedded in uniform media have been solved utilising methods widely used in geophysics. The derived electromagnetic fields and currents include the effects of the electromagnetic properties of each layer and of the different types of the surrounding media. This exact solution then has been used to examine the electromagnetic response of particular samples of long conducting structures to the external electromagnetic wave for a wide range of frequencies. Because the exact solution has a rather complicated structure, simple approximate analytical formulas have been proposed, analysed and compared with the results from the exact model. These approximate formulas show good coincidence in the frequency range spanning from geomagnetic storms (less than mHz) to pulsations (mHz to Hz) to atmospherics (kHz) and above, and can be recommended for use in space weather applications.

This paper presents the modelling and simulation of a protection system for equipment in the oil and gas industry with various RF grids and enclosures against 500 MHz electromagnetic interference (EMI). COMSOL Multiphysics®Modelling software was used in this study. Electric and magnetic fields distributions were determined by using the Generalized Minimal Residual Method (GMRES) which was integrated into COMSOL Multiphysics® Modelling software. Simulation results indicated that larger RF grid size contributed to the higher electric and magnetic field on equipment. Furthermore, without RF grid, electric and magnetic fields on the equipment were increased significantly (up to 100x). The maximum electric and magnetic fields were found to be near resonance enclosure size (299 mm for 500 MHz frequency source). The results showed that the presence of the RF grid for the EMI protection system was essential.

In the present work, electromagnetic interference shielding properties of polymer composites with dispersed cup-stacked carbon nanotubes, graphite nanoparticles and carbon black were investigated. The polymer composites with carbon nanoparticles content from 1 to 5 w% were successfully prepared by the coagulation method, and composite sheets with thickness from 0.25 to 0.77 mm were formed by the hot press technique. The electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency measured in the frequency range of 8.2~12.4 GHz (X-band) of cup-stacked carbon nanotubes/polymer composite was considerably higher than that of carbon black and graphite nanoparticles polymer composites at the same contents of carbon nanoparticles, and contribution of absorption to the shielding efficiency was found to be higher than that of reflection.

In this paper, a novel microwave absorber of thin, light weight, flexible, green and low cost magnetic nanocomposite sheet that can work in high frequency range is fabricated. The vast and increasing numbers in electronic and telecommunication devices has create electromagnetic interference (EMI) in which may lead to application disturbance. Therefore, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber with the ability of high absorption rate is strongly demanded. Here, durian shell (Durio zibethinus Murray) embedded magnetite (Fe3O4) nanocomposite sheets were prepared via pulping and lumen loading technique. The nanocomposite sheets were fabricated by varying the weight percentage of the filler content (2-10 wt% of Fe3O4) at constant thickness and varying the thickness of the sheets (0.1-1.0 mm) at constant filler content. FESEM micrograph shows that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles are in cubical and spherical shape with the 20–50 nm of size range. The microwave absorption properties of the sheets were tested by a vector network analyze (VNA) in the frequency range of 4-18 GHz. The samples were also tested using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) in order to study the magnetic properties. The absorption or maximum reflection loss (RL) of the samples increases continually and the increase of both filler content and sample thickness has led to the shift of dip to lower frequency region.

This paper provides examples of conditions found with nuclear plant electrical equipment by the application of EMI (electromagnetic interference) Diagnostics. This is an on-line test that can detect a wide variety of defects in motors, generators, power cables transformers and isolated phase bus. There is no interruption to service and no risk to the system while data is collected. Photo 1 shows the temporary placement location of a RFCT (radio frequency current transformer) to collect EMI data from this CWP motor. Photo 2 shows the RFCT application on the generator stator grounding transformer. This is the preferred location to collect generator system data.

Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4/Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (NZO/BST) composites with high permittivity and low loss were synthesized via the hybrid processing route. The composites possess very dense and homogenous microstructure. The NZO/BST composites show good dielectric properties and magnetic properties with low loss in high frequency range. This indicates that this kind of magnetodielectric composites can be used in high-frequency communications for the capacitor-inductor integrating devices such as electromagnetic interference filters and antennas. The permittivities of the composites were also fitted using the combination of Maxwell–Wagner polarization and modified Curie–Weiss law.
