    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: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of fault location in DC power distribution systems are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a DC power distribution system including a plurality of zones each including a DC power distribution line and a protective device. Each protective device structured to sense one or more electrical characteristics of a line and to controllably open a circuit including the line. At least one intelligent electronic device is structured to determine a line inductance based upon electrical characteristics sensed by one or more of the protective devices and to evaluate a location of the line fault based upon the determined line inductance.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for filtering harmonics in a power transmission contact line of a railway system includes a multilevel converter multilevel converter having one single phase leg, which phase leg comprises switching cells, each switching cell comprises semi-conductor switches arranged to selectively provide a connection to a corresponding energy storage element. The multilevel converter also includes a controller provided to control the switching of each switching cell, and wherein the phase leg is configured in two parallel branches of cascaded switching cells, which branches is interconnected in a closed circuit. The controller is provided to monitor the content of harmonics in the contact line, and is adapted to filter the monitored harmonics by means of adapting the switching of the switching cells to absorb the harmonics.

    Abstract: A power distribution system for off-shore natural resource platforms includes an off-shore medium voltage direct current (MVDC) power bus. The MVDC power bus includes multiple power bus segments, each of which may be connected to one or more other power bus segments via a corresponding circuit breaker. Each power bus segment may also be electrically coupled to an off-shore renewable energy source, such as a wind farm, and/or an off-shore drilling platform. The off-shore drilling platforms may include local power distribution systems electrically connected to a corresponding power bus segment via a circuit breaker to receive power from the MVDC power bus and supply power to local equipment of the off-shore drilling platform.
