Simulation results relevant to realistic configurations of medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution systems provide useful information to evaluate both the expected level of power quality problems on LV networks due to lightning and the benefi ...
The aim of this paper is to present the results of the performance study of medium voltage overhead distribution lines against lightning discharges, in the way to define methodologies to reduce the system failures. The results are obtained within the partn ...
The paper deals with the calculation of the optimal working point of a distribution system, equipped with several distributed generators, able to operate also autonomously, i.e. disconnected from the main grid. When connected to the main grid, it appears i ...
This paper deals with the calculation of lightning-induced overvoltages on medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution networks taking into account the presence of MV-LV distribution transformers and, in particular, the surge transfer through the ...
The centralized control of active distribution networks with large penetration of dispersed resources requires algorithms capable of providing network state estimation. Within this context, the measurement of bus voltage synchrophasors provides useful data ...
A two-year experimental campaign on lightning-originated disturbances carried out in an Italian rural region characterized by a high ground flash density (4 flashes/km2/yr) has provided a set of voltage transient measurements in a medium voltage (MV) feede ...
An in situ methodology is proposed to characterize the impedance mismatch at each power line communication transmission port in medium voltage network. Based on path loss and impedance measurements, a complete characterization of a non energized medium vol ...
Voltage transients are the main causes of complaints from medium-voltage customers. For this reason, utilities and independent authorities are focusing their attention on investigation techniques capable of providing information useful for classifying volt ...
A supercapacitive-storage-based substation for the compensation of resistive voltage drops in transportation networks is proposed. It allows to feed as a current source in any voltage conditions of the line. The system has been designed as a compensation s ...
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 ...
