Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Evaluation At Dc Voltage, Tobias Dezenzo
Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Evaluation At Dc Voltage, Tobias Dezenzo
Doctoral
Partial discharge diagnostics are common for the condition assessment of high voltage alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) equipment. For ac applications the phase resolved partial discharge evaluation method has prevailed [1]. Even though, numerous methods for dc partial discharge diagnostics have been proposed no agreed standard exists. This is primarily because of the fact that these methods are not as easily applicable as the well-known, intuitive, pattern based phase resolved method. Due to the often assumed unavailability of a useable phase angle information [2]–[4] this method has never been transferred to dc partial discharge diagnostics. However, as a …

Investigation Into Photovoltaic Distributed Generation Penetration In The Low Voltage Distribution Network, Shivananda Pukhrem
Doctoral
Significant integration of photovoltaic distributed generation (PVDG) in the low voltage distribution network (LVDN) could potentially pose threats and challenges to the core activity of distribution system operators (DSO), which is to transport electrical energy in a reliable and cost-effective way. The main aim of this research is to investigate the active planning and operation of LVDNs with increased PVDG integration through steady state power system analysis. To address the impacts of voltage profile fluctuation due to power flow modification, this research proposes a probabilistic risk assessment of power quality (PQ) variations and events that may arise due to significant …
