    摘要: A control apparatus is described for controlling a frequency set-point for a first AC network electrically connected to a first HVDC station to regulate active power. The controller has a frequency controller operable in a first mode of operation to determine a frequency set-point for the first AC network based on a measured DC voltage at the first HVDC station. A disturbance detector is configured to monitor the measured value of DC voltage at the first HVDC station for a predetermined characteristic indicative that a variation in measured DC voltage does correspond to a known modulation applied to the DC voltage by a second HVDC station. The frequency controller is configured to determine the frequency set-point for the first AC network based on a measured value of DC voltage if said predetermined characteristic is detected, and to control the frequency set-point to a predetermined default frequency if not detected.

    摘要: A system and method for warmkeeping a steam generator such as a sub-critical steam generator is disclosed. Water extraction piping extracts water from a component of one of the water fill circuits of the sub-critical steam generator. A deaerator heating system having an inventory tank of water mixes the extracted water with the water in the tank, and heats the mix of water to a predetermined temperature level to generate heated deaerated feedwater. Feedwater piping forwards the heated deaerated feedwater at the predetermined temperature level from the deaerator heating system to the water fill circuits of the sub-critical steam generator. The water extraction piping, the deaerator heating system and the feedwater piping operate cooperatively to warmkeep the water fill circuits in accordance with the predetermined temperature level while the sub-critical steam generator is in the unfired stand-by mode of operation.

    摘要: A transceiver system may include a transmitter, a receiver, an antenna port that is connectable to the transmitter or to the receiver, a filter send port, and a filter return port. The filter ports may be antenna-side or receiver-side, and connectable across at least one filter between the antenna port and the receiver. A transceiver apparatus may include a housing including the transmitter, the receiver, a transceiver switch, and a filter switch assembly in a chamber of the housing. The ports may be accessible through a wall of the housing. A method for filtering a signal include switching, in response to a first signal, a receiver or a transceiver of a transceiver system from an unfiltered path connected to the antenna port to a filtered path connected to the antenna port. The method may further include switching, in response to a second signal, the receiver to the unfiltered path.

    摘要: A protection circuit, for protecting a whole or part of a HVDC power transmission network, includes a number of sets of sensors, each of which set defines a respective protection zone. The protection circuit also includes a controller that is programmed to evaluate sensor information received from the sensors to determine whether a fault has occurred within a protection zone. The controller is further programmed, in the event of a sensor in a protection zone failing, to dynamically reconfigure the affected protection zone by including a sensor from another protection zone.

    摘要: The present application concerns a high-voltage circuit breaker filled with insulating gas having a main axis A, including arcing contacts and an insulating nozzle, wherein an insulating gas flowing from a storage chamber and heated by an electric arc between the two arcing contacts is partitioned into a first gas flow and a second gas flow conducted outside of the insulating nozzle from opposite directions toward a main gas chamber, wherein the first gas flow flows through a first intermediary gas chamber and the second gas flow flows through a second intermediary gas chamber and is partitioned in a first portion directed to the main gas chamber and a second portion directed to an exhaust gas chamber, characterized in that the first portion of the second gas flow is smaller than the second portion of the second gas flow.
