Low-frequency oscillations in the power system have major repercussions on power system stability and the objective of maximum power transfer. Local and global control strategies have been developed to dampen and impede these oscillations. A modern local control strategy is supplying the automatic voltage regulation (AVR) of the generator with a power system stabilizer (PSS). Modern global control ...

God kontroll av reaktiv effekt er en helt nødvendig del av et velfungerende kraftsystem. Reaktiv effekt er funksjon av spenning og lastvinkel, men er i størst grad påvirket av spenningen under normale forhold. Det finnes mange forskjellige reaktive ressurser i kraftsystemet, og de har forskjellige egenskaper og karakteristikker. Statiske reaktive ressurser er kondensatorbatterier, reaktorer og ...

Both the generation and transmission power networks are facing new threats and opportunities as the number of distributed energy resources (DERs) grows. Because of the high solar PV penetration, voltage rise and voltage volatility are becoming major problems in the distribution network. Voltage regulating devices (VRDs), such as on load tap changers (OLTCs), phase voltage regulators (SVRs), and ...

Connection of nonlinear utility load har increased through resent years and is expected to continue increasing. Nonlinear utility load injects harmonic content into the grid and reduces voltage quality for nearby consumers. To limit harmonic content from nonlinear load, the International Electrotechnical Commission requires power supplies to be designed according to IEC 61000-3-2. Fulfilling this ...

The main research aspect behind this project was the problem in docking the ship to the port with limited space and resources available, causing number of onsite accidents and loss of resources. The main objective is to increase safety on ports, reduce pollution and increase fuel efficiency, also reduce the docking time for the vessels, which can be achieved by developing an autonomous docking system ...

The sustainability of the power grid owing to the building strain of the ever-growing demand for electrical energy urges innovative and more practical solutions that enable active participation of end-users in stable and reliable management of power systems. One of the emerging projections of such a two-way exchange of electrical power between the grid and consumers is the developing field of ...

In this thesis a version of the Kundur two-area model has been developed for Simulink and real time simulator software and hardware from OPAL-RT. This model should be used for testing the rotor angle oscillations load variations create. A review of the different control elements found in basic power systems has been reviewed and implemented. The main component that will be manipulated in the model ...

In this master thesis, we present an overview of the U-Space and Regulations in Europe, while also taking into consideration the progression of the integration of both parts in Norwegian airspace over the Norwegian continental shelf. This thesis is mainly separated into three parts. The first part is taking a look into the European Union's roadmap/plan for establishing an Unmanned Aircraft System ...

The current source inverters are becoming competitors of the voltage source inverters largely due to the reduced complexity, improved reliability and potentially improved efficiency. This paper describes the functionality of current source inverters and why they’re becoming increasingly popular. It also discusses about the benefits of SiC over other semiconductors and the use of SiC MOSFETS with ...
