This paper presents a numerical study on the reduction in the voltage and current induced on a 13.5 km buried metallic pipeline by an overhead power line. The mitigation effectiveness of different configurations and cross-section shapes of screening conductors is computed by means of a methodology that combines a 2D Finite Element Analysis with circuital analysis. A 35.72% reduction of the maximum induced voltage is obtained when 4 cylindrical steel screening conductors with 8 mm radius are buried 0.25m below the soil surface, along the pipeline path. The maximum induced pipeline current is reduced by 26.98%. A parametric study is also performed, to assess the influence of the per-unit-length admittance to earth of the screening conductors on the mitigation efficacy. The results show that screening conductors may help in reducing the inductive coupling between overhead power lines and buried metallic pipelines, and that the assumption of perfectly insulated screening conductors leads to an underestimation of the produced mitigation effect.

The article presents problems occurring during remote temperature measurement of lashing clamps of bridge connections on high voltage poles using thermal imaging cameras. The basic metrological parameters of thermal imaging cameras are described. On this basis, typical errors made during the inspection of high voltage lines supplying power substations are presented using infrared cameras. Researching the possible solutions for the problems of remote temperature measurement of small objects of electricity power systems—on the example of lashing clamps of bridge connections on high voltage poles in the proposed paper and showing the basic metrological aspects and parameters of thermal imaging cameras are important because, in this way, it is observed to eliminate costly interruptions in the supply of electricity associated with the breaking of power lines. Small objects are quite difficult to be controlled and monitored on large grids and on large powerline poles; thus, it is very challenging to interpret the data offered by thermograms. The problem of remote temperature measurement of small objects in electrical power engineering is very important from the point of view of the quality and reliability of electricity supply. Obtaining early warning information about the occurrence of overheating, e.g., on lashing clamps of bridge connections, is very important, as it eliminates costly interruptions in the supply of electricity associated with the breaking of power lines supplying high voltage switchgears or substations.

In the medium voltage electrical power lines, the most common fault is the phase to ground fault. The determining factors for selection of the neutral grounding mode of the medium voltage electrical power lines are the selectivity of the relay protection, the transient voltages during phase to ground fault, the magnitude of the fault currents, etc. The paper studies the influence of the transient resistance of phase to ground fault on the selectivity and sensitivity of the earth fault protection when the neutral of the power transformer is grounded through active resistance in medium voltage power grids.

DISTÂNCIA DA REDE ELÉTRICA QUE VIABILIZA O USO DE MOTORES DIESEL EM ÁREAS IRRIGADAS DO BRASIL  Rodrigo Otávio Câmara Monteiro; Priscylla Ferraz; Rubens Duarte Coelho; Ronaldo Antônio do SantosEscola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", Universidade de São Paulo, Piracicaba, SP [email protected]  1 RESUMO             Na maioria das regiões do país, a energia elétrica aparece como a alternativa, economicamente mais viável, no acionamento de bombas em áreas irrigadas, o que justifica seu uso por aproximadamente 70% dos irrigantes. No entanto, em determinadas situações, não se dispõe, nas proximidades, de rede elétrica, o que passa a viabilizar o uso de motores diesel. Este trabalho, portanto, propôs a análise dos custos horários de bombeamento com a operação de motores diesel e elétricos nas 5 regiões do Brasil. Considerou-se as composições tarifárias verde, azul e convencional, período de irrigação de 2, 4, 6 e 8 meses por ano e operação no horário de ponta e fora de ponta. Para essa avaliação, foi considerado um motor diesel e elétrico, de potência comercial de 50 cv. O ponto de equilíbrio entre motor elétrico e diesel foi determinado pela distância da rede de energia elétrica até o local de consumo. A viabilidade de utilização dos motores diesel em relação ao acionamento de motores elétricos foi encontrada a partir de distâncias da rede de transmissão elétrica de1,32 a8,71 km, sendo a primeira a condição mais atrativa, encontrada na região Sudeste, com 2 meses/ano de irrigação, na tarifa convencional. UNITERMOS: Energia elétrica, irrigação, custo de bombeamento  MONTEIRO, R.

VIABILITY OF DIESEL MOTOR USE IN IRRIGATED AREAS OF BRAZIL DUE TO DISTANCE FROM ELECTRIC POWER LINES  2 ABSTRACT In most agricultural areas ofBrazil, electric power seems to be the most feasible economic alternate methods for the functioning of pumps in irrigated areas, therefore 70%  of irrigation systems use it. However, the viability of electric power lines is restricted to only one part of rural areas, making it necessary the implementation of diesel engines as a source of electrical power for water management. The aim of this study was to investigate the viability of the use of electric energy and diesel motors.  For this study, an electric motor and a diesel one, both of 50HP potency, were evaluated, taking into consideration the following variables: tax composition, areas of the country and number of operation hours per year. The viability of the diesel engine use in relation to implantation of electric motors was determined from  distances that ranged from1.32 kmup to8.71 kmbetween the consumption place and the electric power lines. The most favorable condition is the one found in  the southeast of the country: 2 irrigation months/year.KEYWORDS: Electric energy, irrigation, pump costs

In spite of the development of specific shielding of electronic devices as well as the current-day preference for bipolar sensing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) may still occur with certain pacemakers in certain settings, which in turn may lead to false inhibition of ventricular stimulation with potentially fatal consequences. The most important sources of clinically relevant EMI include medical diagnostics and therapy (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging, radiofrequency ablation, cardioversion/defibrillation, and electrocautery), the working environment (including high-power lines, combustion/degaussing/welding equipment, and others), as well as sources from daily life (such as wireless mobile phones, metal detectors, household appliances such as induction furnaces, electronic article surveillance devices, and others). To what extent, and whether or not at all, any given source of interference leads to EMI depends on several factors including the duration of interference, the field strength, and the frequency spectrum of the source. In addition, lead properties and device programming are important determinants. Awareness, recognition, and avoidance of EMI sources is of paramount importance, particularly in high-risk pacemaker-dependent individuals. The importance of proper education of patients as well as healthcare providers cannot be overemphasized.

The Impact

The article reflects the results of anthropogenic impact on phytocenoses of the territory of the Uporovsky regional nature reserve (Uporovsky district, Tyumen region, Russia). On the territory of the Uporovsky regional nature reserve (Uporovsky district, Tyumen region) there is a 110 kV electrical power transmission line (power line) which has the length of 8 kilometers and the right-of-way width of about 30 meters. This power line is undoubtedly the main source of anthropogenic electromagnetic radiation in this area. The degree of participation of individual species in the herbage was determined by taking into account their relative abundance. When exposed to the power lines in the right-of-way area, flora biodiversity decreases due to the loss of a number of species. The effect of electromagnetic fields causes transformation of the vegetation cover, synanthropization and the subsequent complete destruction of natural vegetation. To determine the degree of anthropogenic load on the studied phytocenoses, the synanthropization index is determined. In the synanthropic fraction of the flora, 30 species belonging to 12 families were identified. The synanthropization index of the studied phytocenoses ranges from 6.6% to 81.2%. The largest number of synanthropic species is observed in the anthropogenic area.
