    A step by step exercise of how to do probabilistic planning

    Hi All, I have been dropped into the deep end of reliability analysis and probabilistic planning for power systems (transmission and distribution) and need to get up to speed very quickly. I have read several IEEE papers on the topic and am now starting to understand monte carlo analysis and...

    Newton Raphson Classical vs. N.R. Current Loop

    HI All, what is the difference between "Newton Raphson Classical" and "Newton Raphson Current Loop"? The NR Current Loop method seems to solve much more easily, especially for my power sytem that has voltage problems in a particular area. Actually the NR Classical won't converge, but the NR...

    VArs flowing into Tx line at both ends - why?

    Hi everyone, I've been running power flow models and can't explain what I am observing and how to stop it. Can anyone help me understand what is going on? This is a real life situation. I have a transmission circuit of 100km with a power station at each end. At one end the voltage is set...

    What does LV-side, Phase 2 internally grounded" mean?

    Hi all, I am using digsilent and it provides a check box titled "LV-side, phase 2 internally grounded" when I create a single phase Y-D two winding transformer. What does it mean to have a delta winding that is "phase 2 internally grounded"? thanks heaps.

    what does this phrase mean "a transformer with 5% impedance'

    Hi all, what does this phrase mean "a transformer with 5% impedance'? Is it just the p.u. impedance? Also, what are the formulae for calculating that percentage impedance? Thanks, Andrew

    Need to find a second-hand tan delta measuring bridge

    Hi All, I need to purchase a second-hand tan delta measuring bridge that can measure tan delta at 12kV and 50/60Hz. Does anyone know of some suppliers of second-hand measuring bridges? Thanks for the help Andrew
