摘要： Methodologies adjust a component failure rate for electric power network reliability analysis. A component may include subcomponents and the failure of each subcomponent may be feature dependent. Features are measurable or observable inputs, which can affect the life of one or more subcomponents. The failure rate of a particular component may be obtained according to its real conditions. The methodologies can be used to do condition-based reliability analysis for electric power networks, in order to obtain a maintenance/replacement/operation strategy.

摘要： A system for producing electrical power based on wind energy is capable of predicting its power output. The system includes a set of wind turbine units, a first plurality of sensors each adapted to sense at least one wind characteristic at some of the wind turbine units, and a second plurality of sensors remotely located. At least one wind characteristic is estimated at the wind turbines not having one of the first plurality of sensors based on sensing by the first plurality of sensors and an estimate of changes in wind characteristic at wind turbine units caused by presence of other wind turbine units. The magnitude of electrical power production by the set of wind turbine units at at least one predefined point in time in the future is predicted based on the estimated wind characteristics and sensed wind characteristics.

摘要： An improved method of fault detection in a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission line is provided. The fault detection is based on fault-induced travelling waves. The method comprises estimating an amplitude of fault-induced travelling waves at the fault location, and calculating a fault resistance (Rf) based on the estimated amplitude, an estimated pre-fault voltage at the fault location, and a surge impedance of the transmission line. The estimated fault amplitude and the estimated pre-fault voltage are calculated from voltage measurements performed at both ends of the transmission line. Further, a fault detection device is provided.

摘要： A computer implemented method uses a database of detailed, comprehensive utility operating and financial information. The method comprises: (1) feature based matching or similarity based benchmark and focus group selection; (2) a performance assessment procedure comprising multi-perspective analysis; and (3) multi-attribute business profiling and performance improvement potential analysis. As part of the performance assessment step, data corresponding to different utilities in a selected benchmark group are compared with each other to find their strengths and weaknesses. Interpretation of these gaps provides the cause of such gaps. Composite ranking analysis is used so that a composite score of at least one utility business is obtained.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer readable media for adaptive out of step protection for power generators with load resynchronization capability are disclosed. According to one method, when a fault condition occurs in a load being supplied by a power generator, a number of pole slips expected to occur in the generator due to the fault before resynchronization is estimated. It is determined whether the estimated number of pole slips exceeds a threshold. An offline or online status of the generator is controlled based on the determination as to whether the estimated number of pole slips exceeds the threshold.
