    Station Configuration Question

    Hi I have a question regarding a station configuration arrangement as seen in the attachment (sorry for the crude drawing). It involves two separate Tx lines supplying a a three winding transformer, which in turn supply two separate buses on both sides (and then of course, the individual...

    Beginner Question: Ground Fault Current

    I have a beginner type question on ground fault current. I am reading Chapter 4 of Electric Power Distribution Equipment and Systems where it says, "Ungrounded primary connections do not supply ground fault current to the primary distribution system...Grounded wye primaries may provide an...

    Frequency, Load Demand Control

    Is there a database online of frequency readings (hopefully somewhere in the Eastern interconnection) over let's say, a monthly (or longer) timeline?

    Frequency, Load Demand Control

    In a way, but not to that extent :) I am looking at it more as a way to "remedy" the incorporation of intermittent renewable generation. The two obvious control schemes (or triggers) that come to mind are absolute frequency (greater than or less than 60Hz) and derivative frequency (increasing...

    Frequency, Load Demand Control

    I have an interest of looking into demand-side management, specifically, the control of specific loads dependent on grid frequency. I am looking for resources on possibily statistical analysis done on grid frequency data and algorithms which initiate "triggers" the control loads. From what I...

    Three Phase Generation from a Wave Energy PM Generator

    Oh I do understand that. I am not actually not looking to make anything, just trying to understand the principle of the stator design. I can't figure it out though.

    Three Phase Generation from a Wave Energy PM Generator

    Also - I found the following presentation: http://www.cst.com/Content/Documents/Articles/article462/Novel%20Modeling%20Design%20of%203%20Phase%20Tubular%20PM%20Linear%20Generators.pdf On slide 5, I don't particular method by which three-phase voltage is induced in the stator - even more so...

    Three Phase Generation from a Wave Energy PM Generator

    I am doing some research into wave energy. As such, I am trying to understand the stator construction for a linear permanent magnet generator that allows for three phase generation. So for example: http://www.earthtechling.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/seabased-wave-energy-converter.jpg If...

    PSS/E Modelling

    Thanks. They do use PSS/E and training is provided, however, I don't start till May of next year. As such, I have a bit of time. I figure I might as well learn as much as I can now. I was told this: PSS/E models the characteristics of distance relays in terms of "straight-line blinders" and...

    PSS/E Modelling

    Hey everyone - came across this forum and am hoping to get involved. I am a recent graduate from Engineering Physics and I have landed a job in a local utility. I'll be the first to admit, I probably don't have the "power" experience that an EE would - eager to learn though! In preparation, I...
