Abstract:
An arrangement for tapping power from a DC power line to an AC power line includes power transfer modules between two DC potentials, each including a first branch with a string of converter cells in parallel with a second branch including a capacitor and being connected to an AC phase. There is at least one control unit that controls the arrangement considering one or more of a) distributing appropriate AC and DC voltages in converter output voltages of all series connected modules, b) maintaining/setting cell capacitor voltages in specific range and allowing boost mode operation, c) performing possible balancing of the introduced capacitor and d) employing an alternate approach of using passive filters to mitigate low order harmonics.
Abstract:
A tool for extracting armour wires from a cable having an armouring layer includes a curved beak for grasping an armour wire, and an elongated body having a bottom surface provided with a protruding tip for separating two neighboring armour wires. The tip is protrudes away from the bottom surface and is elongated in a direction parallel to the bottom surface.
Abstract:
A transmission cable includes a conductor or a bundle of conductors extending along a longitudinal axis, which is circumferentially covered by an insulation layer having an extruded insulation material, whereby the transmission cable passes the electrical type test as specified in Cigré TB496, whereby the rated voltage U0 is 450 kV or more. The type test includes subjecting the power cable to a DC voltage of 1.85*U0 during 10 to 15 cycles at negative polarity, followed by a polarity reversal with another 10 to 15 cycles at positive polarity at a DC voltage of 1.85*U0, followed by additional 2 to 5 cycles during at least 4 to 10 days at positive polarity, and wherein U0 is 450 kV, or 525 kV, or more.
Abstract:
A distributed method is provided for controlling electrical power in a microgrid, wherein a plurality of distributed generators supply electrical power to the microgrid, and each of the distributed generators is connected to a controller for controlling the real and reactive output power from the distributed generator. The method includes the steps of measuring, for each of the distributed generators, a voltage level at a measuring point associated with that distributed generator and forwarding the measured voltage level to the controller connected to that distributed generator; determining, for each of the controllers, a parameter value related to the received measured voltage level and/or related to a reactive current injection capacity of the distributed generator connected to that controller; communicating, from each of the controllers, its determined parameter value to each other ones of the controllers; determining a sequential order in which the controllers are to control the distributed generators to inject reactive power into the microgrid based on the communicated parameter values; and controlling the distributed generators to inject reactive power into the microgrid by means of the controllers in the determined sequential order.
Abstract:
A high voltage valve arrangement includes a high voltage valve unit; an external electric shield structure arranged at least partially around the high voltage modular valve unit and a grounding system. The grounding system includes a grounding system configured to be remotely extended from a retracted position to an extended position, whereby the extendable grounding device establishes electric connection with the external shield structure when it is extended from the retracted position.
Abstract:
A switch assembly including a vacuum switch mounted to an at least partly electrically conductive housing, and a holder for a vacuum bottle. The housing includes at least one gas entry opening at a lower end of the housing and at least one gas exit opening at an upper end of the housing, and a first free heat convection path between the openings to provide cooling. A second free heat convection path may be provided in a free space between the holder and vacuum bottle. A switching device for connecting the vacuum switch to a second electric conductor. An electric power distribution switchgear, encapsulating at least one three-phase module including a switching device.
Abstract:
A terminal bushing sealing element is adapted to be fitted between a terminal bushing and a barrier element. The sealing element is elastic, has an annular shape, and includes a wall with an inner surface and an outer surface. A first opening is provided at a first end of the sealing element and a second opening is provided at a second end of the sealing element, which is opposite to the first end and the wall extends between the first end and the second end. The wall includes a first wall portion that is inclined such that a diameter of the sealing element increases from the first end in the direction towards the second end. The sealing element provides for improved sound attenuation while maintaining a long creepage distance and may be used in sound attenuation casings that are included in power capacitor arrangements.
