The paper presents a real power delivery system with essential consumers safety analysis. The two levels voltage networks 6kV and 0,4kV are modeled with the help of Edsa software and short-circuit simulation is conducted in order to obtain the computed values of the currents to all the network buses. The results are used to implement a technical solution for an important safety improvement of the analysed system.

Power Problem

Reactive power is an unwanted but unavoidable part of alternating current electric power delivery systems. Governed by the laws of physics, it occurs due to the inherent nature of the components of these systems. This article develops an understanding of reactive power and the control of it to reduce its adverse effects and to improve the efficiency of an electric power delivery system. The article begins by identifying and representing electric power circuit components, real power, and reactive power. These are then mathematically shown how they interact and affect the power delivery system. Control and mitigation of the effects of reactive power are then developed with emphasis on mechanical solutions using rotating machines. In particular, peaking or retired generators are identified for use as rotating condensers as well as new installations. A description of the gear type synchronous self-synchronizing (SSS) overrunning clutches used to connect and dis-connect a generator from the peaking prime mover or the retired generator from a starting system is included.

Optimization Problem Formulation

Protecting inverter-interfaced microgrids is challenging as conventional time-overcurrent protection becomes unusable due to the lack of fault current. There is a great need for novel protective relaying methods that enable the application of protection coordination on microgrids, thereby allowing for microgrids with larger areas and numbers of loads while not compromising reliable power delivery. Tools for modeling and analyzing such microgrids under fault conditions are necessary in order to help design such protective relaying and operate microgrids in a configuration that can be protected, though there is currently a lack of tools applicable to inverter-interfaced microgrids. This paper introduces the concept of applying an optimization problem formulation to the topic of inverter-interfaced microgrid fault modeling, and discusses how it can be employed both for simulating short-circuits and as a set of constraints for optimal microgrid operation to ensure protective device coordination.

AbstractThe SideWinder is a power delivery system for a hand-coring ice auger. It not only greatly increases the rate of drilling, it also makes it possible for a single operator to drill to depths difficult and cumbersome for hand-coring systems. The SideWinder power is delivered by an electric drill that is used for both the drilling and the lifting of the drill string. A high-strength low-stretch synthetic-fiber rope lifts and lowers the drill string as it winds around a tube attached to the electric drill. During winding, the synthetic-fiber rope is guided onto the winding tube by rope cleats that also serve as a quick way to secure the rope for drilling. The end of the winding tube connects directly to the protruding extension of the drill string for drilling. The rope always remains attached to the drill string by a rope-pin that replaces the bottommost connecting pin; the winding tube holds the rope and always stays attached to the electric drill. For lifting and lowering the drill string, cradle arms on a frame that hinges on a plywood platform hold the winding tube.
