This paper presents a novel voltage sag topology that occurs during an unintentional islanding operation (IO) within a distribution network (DN) due to large induction motors (IMs). When a fault occurs, following the circuit breaker (CB) fault clearing, transiently, the IMs act as generators due to their remanent kinetic energy until the CB reclosing takes place. This paper primarily contributes to voltage sag characterization. Therefore, this novel topology is presented, analytically modelled and further validated. It is worth mentioning that this voltage sag has been identified in a real DN in which events have been recorded for two years. The model validation of the proposed voltage sag is done via digital simulations with a model of the real DN implemented in Matlab considering a wide range of scenarios. Both simulations and field measurements confirm the voltage sag analytical expression presented in this paper as well as exhibiting the high accuracy achieved in the three-phase model adopted.


Abstract The wind field over an urban lake may exhibit considerable variability due to wind shielding effects from surrounding structures. Field measurements at an urban reservoir in Singapore were augmented by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model results to develop a wind model over the reservoir surface via a data assimilation approach. The field measurements identified, depending on structure alignment with the prevailing wind direction, wind shielding that impacted wind direction and velocity over the reservoir surface. The wind model integrated the temporal response of the measurements and spatial distribution produced by the CFD modelling. The wind model was used to predict the spatio-temporal pattern of the wind field over the reservoir surface for a full year. The modeling results showed good agreement with measured wind data at three measurement locations on the reservoir surface. The wind model has been incorporated with a hydrodynamics and water quality model to provide the spatio-temporal wind forcing over the reservoir surface.
