Varying the energisation condition to mitigate sympathetic inrush current

2023-12-01 , Nadhirah N.F. , Hana Abdull Halim , Nurhakimah Mohd Mukhtar , Samila Mat Zali

Transformers are generally easy to access and can contribute significantly to entire power system. When a transformer is turned on for the first time, it produces a magnetising inrush current which acts as a starting current. Energisation of transformer has a substantial impact on inrush current and transformer that are connected in parallel. Sympathetic inrush current is a phenomenon that appears when a transformer is switched-on in network whereas the other transformers that was earlier energised. Besides, when sympathetic inrush phenomena occur, the peak and period fluctuate significantly. In this paper, the transformers will be energised in three different ways and each condition will be explored in depth. The operation time of the transformer’s energisation whether it is energised simultaneously or at different times are tested and analysed in terms of their characteristics. It is performed using power system computer aided design (PSCAD) software, starting with a develop model of the energisation and then generate the outcomes. The results of the simulation demonstrate that energising the transformer in different ways can give different effect on the sympathetic inrush current, as well as the variables that affect it and methods for reducing it

An integrated of hydrogen fuel cell to distribution network system: Challenging and opportunity for D-STATCOM

2021-11-01 , Khaleel M.M. , Mohd Rafi Adzman , Samila Mat Zali

The electric power industry sector has become increasingly aware of how counterproduc-tive voltage sag affects distribution network systems (DNS). The voltage sag backfires disastrously at the demand load side and affects equipment in DNS. To settle the voltage sag issue, this paper achieved its primary purpose to mitigate the voltage sag based on integrating a hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) with the DNS using a distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) system. Besides, this paper discusses the challenges and opportunities of D-STATCOM in DNS. In this paper, using HFC is well-designed, modeled, and simulated to mitigate the voltage sag in DNS with a positive impact on the environment and an immediate response to the issue of the injection of voltage. Furthermore, this modeling and controller are particularly suitable in terms of cost-effectiveness as well as reliability based on the adaptive network fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), fuzzy logic system (FLC), and proportional–integral (P-I). The effectiveness of the MATLAB simulation is confirmed by implementing the system and carrying out a DNS connection, obtaining efficiencies over 94.5% at three-phase fault for values of injection voltage in HFC D-STATCOM using a P-I controller. Moreover, the HFC D-STATCOM using FLC proved capable of supporting the network by 97.00%. The HFC D-STATCOM based ANFIS proved capable of supporting the network by 98.00% in the DNS.

Identifiability Evaluation of Crucial Parameters for Grid Connected Photovoltaic Power Plants Design Optimization

This paper aims to assess the impact of different key factors on the optimized design and performance of grid connected photovoltaic (PV) power plants, as such key factors can lead to re-design the PV plant and affect its optimum performance. The impact on the optimized design and performance of the PV plant is achieved by considering each factor individually. A comprehensive analysis is conducted on nine factors such as; three objectives are predefined, five recent optimization approaches, three different locations around the world, changes in solar irradiance, ambient temperature, and wind speed levels, variation in the available area, PV module type and inverters size. The performance of the PV plant is evaluated for each factor based on five performance parameters such as; energy yield, sizing ratio, performance ratio, ground cover ratio, and energy losses. The results show that the geographic location, a change in meteorological conditions levels, and an increase or decrease in the available area require the re-design of the PV plant. A change in inverter size and PV module type has a significant impact on the configuration of the PV plant leading to an increase in the cost of energy. The predefined objectives and proposed optimization methods can affect the PV plant design by producing completely different structures. Furthermore, most PV plant performance parameters are significantly changed due to the variation of these factors. The results also show the environmental benefit of the PV plant and the great potential to avoid green-house gas emissions from the atmosphere.
