Abstract: A method for synchronizing and connecting a first sub power system with a second sub power system with an intelligent electronic device (IED) by use of at least one switching device between the first sub power system and the second sub power system in an electrical power system is provided. The IED monitors power supply parameters such as voltage magnitude, phase and other derived parameters such as voltage and phase differences in the first sub power system and the second sub power system to identify at least one instance for fast bus transfer where the two sub systems have acceptable differences in magnitude and phase. The IED performs phase shifting and voltage magnitude correction in anticipation for synchronizing power supplies on connection at the identified instance.

Abstract: A method is performed in a control device for controlling a power compensation arrangement including a voltage source converter and one or more power compensation branches, each power compensation branch including a thyristor controlled reactor, a thyristor switched reactor or a thyristor controlled capacitor. The voltage source converter and the one or more power compensation branches are connected to a same busbar. The method includes: detecting a request in an electrical power system to which the power compensation arrangement is connected; determining, based on the request, a need for reactive power supply to the electrical power system; providing reactive power by means of the voltage source converter and/or by one or more of the power compensation branches; and compensating, by means of the voltage source converter, any disturbances caused by the power compensation branches when providing the reactive power to the electrical power system. Corresponding devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a material comprising reduced graphene oxide, wherein the degree of reduction of the graphene oxide exhibits a spatial variation so that the material exhibits a gradient in the electric conductivity and/or permittivity. The material can for example be used in an electric device for purposes of field grading and/or dissipation of charges. Examples of electric devices wherein the material is beneficial includes cable accessories, bushings, power cables, microelectronics, switchgear, etc. The invention further relates to a method of producing a material for electrical applications. The method comprises treating different parts of a graphene oxide element differently, so as to achieve a different degree of reduction of the graphene oxide within the element, resulting in a sample having a gradient in the electrical conductivity and/or permittivity. The material could for example be obtained by means of applying a thermal gradient to a graphene oxide element, or by irradiation of a graphene oxide element.

Abstract: A method for controlling a chain-link power converter including three phase legs, each of which phase legs includes a plurality of series-connected converter cells, each of the cells including a DC capacitor, the phase legs being connected in a delta configuration. The method includes detecting an unsymmetrical voltage condition at a terminal of the converter; determining a ratio between a zero sequence and a negative sequence component of a compound current to be injected into the converter, based on the detected unsymmetrical voltage condition; calculating the compound current comprising the zero sequence component and the negative sequence component in accordance with the determined ratio; and injecting the compound current into the converter to control the converter in view of the detected unsymmetrical voltage condition.
