The experiments of Cable-in conduit conductor (CICC) short samples with high proportion of segregated copper strands have been carried out in SULTAN facility last September. These experiments aimed to investigate transient stability and AC losses of CICC c ...
A simple 0D analytical model for the prediction of the take-off point observed in critical-current or current-sharing tests in cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) is presented. This may be referred to also as the quench point and defined as the point where ...
The appraisal of the response of distribution networks to the excitation of lightning electro magnetic pulse (LEMP) requires the availability of accurate models of LEMP-illuminated lines. These models should be able to take into account the presence of shi ...
In this paper, we present an efficient measurement technique for the analysis of power line communication (PLC) signals. The frequency spectrum associated with PLC signals extends from 1 MHz to 30 MHz. The proposed technique can be applied to a network con ...
An imbalance in the transport current among the strands of a Cable-in-Conduit conductors (CICC) can be associated with the change of their performance. In order to understand and improve the performance of CICC's, it is essential to study the current imbal ...
The German SUpraLeiterTest ANlage (SULTAN) test facility at the Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasma (CRPP), Villigen, is a worldwide unique tool to test high current superconductors over a broad range of operating conditions. The key component of t ...
We discuss the limitations of conventional closed loop power control (CLPC). We derive a closed-form expression for the control error. We then propose two algorithms that reduce this error. Simulations show a reduced power error compared to current CLPC te ...
Besides the option of HTS cables as retrofit elements in densely populated areas, the technically most attractive aspect of HTS is the possibility of high power transmission at reduced voltage. In this paper we concentrate on this second aspect. High power ...
This paper presents a new approach to model a transmission tower for lightning performance studies. It consists of representing each part of the tower by equivalent vertical and/or horizontal transmission lines as required. While horizontal line parameters ...
In this paper, we investigate the effect of periodically-grounded shielding wires and surge arresters on the attenuation of lightning-induced voltages. We discuss the adequacy of the commonly made simplification of assuming the shielding wire at ground pot ...
