Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments provide substation automation systems for operating a high or medium voltage substation for an electric power transmission or distribution network. The substation automation system includes a multitude of secondary devices, which transmit and receive data from/to each other via multicast packets. The secondary devices include packet filters, which are adapted to be set up dynamically during the runtime of the substation automation system, in order to update the rules for forwarding multicast packets received from the station bus system to the application running on the secondary devices.
Abstract:
Sensor structure (16) is provided for online monitoring of levels of Furans in oil of a transformer tank. The sensor structure includes a UV light source (26), a filter (30) permitting only UV light of a certain wavelength range to pass, a window (32) permitting the filtered UV light to passes there-through and a UV light detector (36) to receive UV light that passes through the window. When the sensor structure is mounted to the transformer tank that is online so that the window is exposed to oil, and Furans in the oil are being monitored, the Furans will absorb UV light, creating a difference in UV light received by the light detector when compared to the UV light received by the light de tector when the monitored oil has no Furans therein. The output signal of the light detector is substantially proportional to a total of Furans in the monitored oil.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a vacuum chamber including at least one ceramic isolating cylinder with two face ends. At least one of the two face ends of the ceramic isolating cylinder is closed by a metallic cover including an outer and an inner part. A distal end of the outer part of the metallic cover is thinner relative to the remainder of the outer part of the metallic cover and forms a metallic lid. The metallic lid is connected to at least one of the two face ends of the ceramic isolating cylinder in a vacuum tight manner. The metallic cover can be formed in one piece and fits with the inner part of the metallic cover at an inner girthed area of the ceramic isolating cylinder to realize a self-centering of the metallic lid to at least one of the two face ends of the ceramic isolating cylinder.

Abstract:
Power flow in a hybrid AC-DC power system is analyzed by determining DC power injection variables as a function of AC state information for common coupling buses which connect AC and DC grids. The AC state information includes voltage magnitude and phase angle information for the common coupling buses and buses in the AC grid(s). The DC power injection variables indicate AC power injection into the one or more AC grids at the common coupling buses from the DC grid(s). The AC state information is revised iteratively as a function of the DC power injection variables and the sensitivity of the DC power injection variables to the AC state information, and the DC power injection variables and the sensitivity of the DC power injection variables are revised iteratively as a function of the revised AC state information until the power mismatch is acceptable.
