The paper presents a microcontroller-based automatic system that applies the continuous wavelet analysis to the measured fault-originated electromagnetic transients in order to locate phase-to-ground faults in power distribution networks composed by coaxia ...
Factors that contribute to lightning-caused faults on the line insulation of overhead distribution lines and suggested improvements to existing and new constructions are identified in this guide. ...
Using a finite element (FE) model of the electrical machine in a grid solver enables us to take the machine nonlinearities into account with great precision in the simulation of a complete system. Three methods are usually used for linking the grid and FE ...
The paper presents a microcontroller-based automatic scheduling system for the operation and control of the distributed energy resources connected to residential electric power installations, taking into account both the following operating conditions: 1) ...
In recent years many large scale demonstrators and prototypes of superconducting fault current limiters have been successfully developed and tested. Within the European Project ECCOFLOW (www.eccoflow.org), it is the first time that a resistive-type superco ...
Since control of a three-phase machine requires only two currents, it is possible to independently control a number of three-phase machines using reduced-switch-count voltage source inverter (VSI) topologies. One such configuration consists of n three-phas ...
This design guide contains information on methods to improve the lightning protection performance of overhead distribution lines and is written for the distribution-line designer. This guide recognizes that a perfect line design does not exist and that a s ...
A method for simplifying the analytical treatment of single phase systems is introduced. This method, called monophasor theory, makes it possible to apply the same calculation methods and control strategies used for three-phase systems. This way, the spaci ...

Current from nearby rocket-triggered lightning that flowed through the soil and into an unenergized test power distribution line was studied based on experimental data acquired in 2003 at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing in Flori ...
Multiphase series-connected motor drives can be supplied from a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI), which has either a prime or a composite number of legs (phases). It has been shown recently that, in the case of a prime number of inverter/machine pha ...
