Abstract:
Time synchronization of two clocks is disclosed herein, such as two stationary clocks. A global time signal from a global time reference or common time source can be used to calculate a common view based clock offset between the two clocks. In parallel, a network based clock offset between the two clocks can be calculated based on messages exchanged over a communication network interconnecting the two clocks, without reverting to the global time reference. Two recent values (e.g., the two most recent values) of the common view clock offset and the network based clock offset can be combined or superposed in a seamless way to produce a final time offset estimate. The combination of independently calculated common view and network based clock offsets can be a weighted average of the two values, involving respective weights based on quality estimates of the latter. The time synchronization schemes based on a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a wide area communication network can be combined to synchronize the stationary clocks of phasor measurement units (PMUs) of a wide area monitoring system to a central server clock at a Network Control Center (NCC) of the system.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and controller for damping multimode electromagnetic oscillations in electric power systems which interconnect a plurality of generators and consumers. The controller for damping such oscillations includes a phasor measurement unit (PMU) and a power oscillation damper (POD) controller. Each oscillating mode signal is damped and then superposed to derive a control signal. A feedback controller is used to feedback the control signal to a power flow control device in the power system.

Abstract:
A relationship between a temperature TI of a power line or power transmission conductor, an electrical quantity of the power line such as a current I or power flow P through the power line, as well as meteorological quantities or ambient conditions of the power line such as wind speed W, wind direction, humidity, solar radiation S and ambient temperature Ta, is established in the form of a thermal model of the power line. Values of the aforementioned quantities or variables are continuously measured, and the collected values of the quantities are evaluated in order to update model parameters of the thermal model during operation of the power line. In one example, an average temperature representative of the entire line is determined via two Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) 11, 11′ providing synchronized phasor values from two ends of the power line. An ohmic resistance of the power line is computed from the phasor values, from which in turn the average line temperature can be derived.
Abstract:
The catalytic efficiency of supported catalysts containing metal nanoparticles is strongly related to the chemical softness at the surfaces of such nanoparticles. Supported catalysts containing platinum nanoparticles having average surface softness values (expressed in scaled units ranging from 0 to 1) between 0.07198 and 0.09247 exhibit high catalytic efficiency. The catalytic efficiency of such platinum nanoparticles for CO oxidation, expressed as the turn-over frequency (TOF), was observed to be on or above 0.03062 s−1. The supported catalysts containing platinum nanoparticles with tighter average surface softness ranges exhibit even higher catalytic efficiencies. The TOF for CO oxidation of platinum nanoparticles having average surface softness values between 0.08031 and 0.08679 was observed to be on or above 0.06554 s−1.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to monitoring of electromechanical oscillations in electric power systems, and their identification by an adaptive algorithm based on a repeatedly measured and evaluated signal. In order for an estimation of parameters of a model of the power system to reasonably converge, proper initialization of the recursive calculation is required, including the definition of tuning parameters constraining the model and the calculation. Initialization for a second signal to be exploited can then be simplified by copying the set of tuning parameters tuned previously for a different signal. A conditioning gain multiplying the second signal establishes compatibility between the different signals, and a signal pre-filter in turn discards contributions beyond a frequency band comprising typical electromagnetic oscillations.
