Abstract New technologies of electric power generation, such as generation based on renewable energy sources, distributed generation, make extensive use of modern power electronics. All these non-linear elements generate harmonic components in the supply voltage. This leads to a deterioration in the quality of the supplied energy. In this regard, improving the quality of supplied energy is an urgent task. The article proposes a method of continuous distributed monitoring of the quality of electrical energy in the isolated power systems. This method is based on the use of the PMU infrastructure to continuously obtain information on instantaneous values of currents and voltages. It is proposed to use a smart meter proposed earlier by the authors as a primary measuring instrument for monitoring the level and direction of harmonics in various sections of the power system. This procedure is carried out in the current time mode, and thus there is a continuous adjustment of the power supply system to a mode close to optimal in terms of the content of harmonic components (harmonics) in the supply voltage at the selected points of connection.

With increasing energy needs of electricity for industry and new customers in the crowded settlements, especially along the coastal areas of Beautiful Kapok, readiness and availability of resources to increase the burden of customers need efforts and appropriate measures. One of the most easy and safe to transmit electrical energy is by Splitting the load. The aim in this study is to determine the way and site selection as well as calculate the imposition of new penyulang. The distribution of electric energy from the parent booths toward the consumers can do with the distribution of direct or indirect distribution. Via Penyulang 20 kV distribution with the selected cable channels-free cable is a requirement of the disorder, in an effort to increase the quality of the distribution. In the system of electric power supply, voltage general conditions let it send penyulang allowed (5%-10%) according to the standard PLN. While according to ANSI standard C84, paragraph 1 is (4% and-10%) under normal conditions. The current that flows through the penyulang must not exceed the limit of the ability distribution against the denseness of the load. So that the required voltage quality is better. As for who should be taken into account in determining the location of the new building of the penyulang is based on the Division of the burden, then choose the type of cable that well that is kind of XLPE cable 240 mm2 aluminum as a necessary investment.

This research paper focuses on modelling and simulation of 330 KV, 600 MW Shiroro Substation in the DIgSILENT Environment for the integration of Hybrid Solar PV – Hydro System to improve power supply in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja, Nigeria. A hybrid energy system is a system that combines multiple types of energy generations to satisfy the demand of the users effectively and efficiently. The Solar Photovoltaic (PV)/Hydro hybrid system consists of electrical energy generated from solar PV and hydro energy. Effect of environmental issues, reduction of fossil fuels in addition to its high cost have actively encouraged interest in great integration of renewable energy sources in power systems. This work capitalized on the possibilities of harnessing commercial solar energy and feeding it to the National grid through a nearby 330 KV substation at Shiroro Dam. The simulation is carried out in DIgSILENT (Power factory) environment. The Shiroro 16 kV, 330 kV, 600 MW Transmission Lines are modelled, and results of simulations of the five bus bars (Jebba, Shiroro, Gwagwalada, Katampe and Kaduna) voltages directly connected to Shiroro Network are: 331.8kV, 331.7 kV, 329.3 kV, 325.6 kV and 332.2 kV, respectively.

The article presents issues related to the determination of the continuity quality of power supply (CQoPS) for hospital electrical devices. The model describing CQoPS takes into account power redundancy. The uncertainty modeling method based on the certainty factor (CF) of the hypothesis was used to establish the single-valued CQoPS factor. CQoPS modeling takes into account multidimensional quality models and physical stages of power. The quality models take into account seven dimensions that make up CQoPS (availability, appropriate amount, power supply reliability, power quality, assurance, responsiveness, security). The model of power stages includes five of these stages (power generation, delivery to recipient, distribution by recipient, delivery to device, power-consuming device). To date, when designing hospital power systems, the applied reliability indicators revealed limitations because they do not consider all the possible factors influencing the power continuity. Estimating the supply continuity quality with the use of the uncertainty modeling proposed in this article allows for taking into account all possible factors (not just reliability factors) that may affect supply continuity. The presented modeling offers an additional advantage, namely, it allows an expanded evaluation of the hospital supply system and a description using only one indicator. This fact renders the evaluation of the supply system possible for unqualified staff. At the end of the article, some examples of calculations and simulations are presented, thus showing that the applied methods give the expected results.

At optimization of development of electric networks of power systems voltage and a configuration of networks are chosen, the order of construction of objects of electric networks is established. The criterion of optimality in optimization is the sum of dynamic consolidated costs for all network elements. The decision must take into account the dynamics of development of power systems networks, requirements for reliability and quality of power supply, capacity constraints on power lines and transformer substations.

Telecommunications and computer equipment centralisation trends for the purpose of achieving economic benefits, usage of technological innovations and new technical solutions implementation leads to the requirements for building bigger Data Centres (DCs). An increase in the size of the DC facility i.e. the number of racks inside occupied with equipment and the number of devices that enables the proper functioning of that equipment leads to necessarily power energy requirements increasing for power supply. For the DCs that require a large amount of energy, the building of their own, usually renewable energy sources (RES) is cost-effective. In such a caser, RES are primary and Power System (PS) is secondary and redundant power source. A concept of a DC primary powered from RES is presented in this paper. Generated electrical energy in RES is transmitted in PS through high voltage switch-gears (SGs) while DC is power supplied from PS through low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage SG-s. For the purpose of realisation of such facility, it is necessary to enable adequate conditions related to geographical location, physical access to the facility, possibility of connecting to the PS and possibility of connecting to the telecommunications centres. Based on carried out researches related to RESs potential, available roads, power supply infrastructure and telecommunication infrastructure, development conditions for DC on location near to Belgrade, close to power transformer station „Belgrade 20“ are analysed in this paper. From the aspect of DC power supply, proposed solution includes wind farm, solar plant and landfill gas power plant, as well as related SGs. Telecommunication connections from DC to the PS and other important telecommunication centres are provided. These connections are realised through optical cables placed next to the electrical lines and cables, and, when that is not possible, placed independently in the ground. The design of the DC interior is given and calculations of the required electrical energy for the power supply of the equipment and devices in the facility are performed. Based on calculation results, capacity calculation of the RES and calculation of SGs are performed. Design of the interior optical connections inside DC is also given. A General assessment of the investment and economics of building such DC are given at the end of the paper.

The light emitting diodes (LEDs) are ever more used, and their price is getting lower year on year. Although, exchanging traditional light sources for the LED lamps does not seem to be complicated, we need to remember to maintaining high–quality of light. One of the aspects we should be worry about is a light’s flickering. Due to the shape of the current–voltage characteristics of the LED diode and their dependence on temperature, the value of the luminous flux – but also the lifetime – depends to a large extent on the stability of the supply voltage. Therefore, correct power system should be a thermally stable current source. Unfortunately, the simple power systems, equipped with passive filters are often used as cheap commercial solutions. In those types of systems stability of the output voltage is heavily dependent on the load conditions. Passive filters – usually consisting of coils and capacitors – are placed in the output circuit. This paper presents research carried out to show of filter capacitance influence on flickering phenomenon, and practical light’s flickering measuring technique for the LED lamps.

In the modern electric grid, there is an active penetration of distributed renewable energy sources and energy storage systems, which often require connection by means of electronic converter. Energy sources connected in the grid by means of electronic converter or inverter has large different parameters and operating modes compared to the generation of a traditional one. That leads to a different behavior of such sources in the network. With a large penetration of this kind of generation in the electrical grid, there is a need to revise the principles and methods of design and operation of both inverters and power systems. Otherwise there may be conditions in which it becomes impossible to ensure sustainable power supply and quality of power that satisfy the technical requirements. The goal of the paper is to study the operations of electricity sources connected in the power grid by means of inverter, analyzing the static stability of objects of this kind, as well as studying the possibility of creating algorithms that can successfully adapt such generation objects into a single power system.

This paper summarizes the findings from a feasibility study of using renewable energy sources in combination with conventional power systems to meet the electrical requirements for an isolated island of Masirah in Oman. The study has been conducted to determine the best hybrid system to generate electrical energy needed for a small community of 500 residential buildings. A series of a simulation analyses have been carried out to evaluate and optimize different distribution technologies including photovolatics, wind and diesel for electrical generation in combination with storage batteries. It was found that the cost of energy could be reduced by as much as 48% compared to the cost for the baseline generation system currently used in the Masirah Island (i.e. diesel-driven generators). In particular, it was found that wind turbines in combination with storage batteries have a great impact in reducing the cost of generating electrical energy for the residential community. Moreover, solar PV panels were found unattractive under the current diesel price rates but could potentially become viable if the diesel prices increase. The paper outlines an optimal design for generating electricity for the community at lowest cost while minimizing carbon emissions.
