Synchronous Study of Ferroresonance and Inrush Current Phenomena and their Related Reasons in Ground Power NetworksEnergizing the power transformers usually results in flowing very high inrush currents. This harmful current can be minimized using controlled switching and considering the value of residual flux. But nowadays, developing the ground power networks results in high increment of ferroresonance phenomenon occurrence due to the line' capacitance reactance and nonlinear inductive reactance of power transformer's core. In this study, these transient phenomena and their cause have studied synchronously.

Inrush current is a transient phenomenon that occurs when a transformer is first energized to a voltage source at no-load conditions. It causes a very high inrush current. Inrush currents can adversely affect the electric power system and can cause improper work of a relay protection errors. The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of inrush current and minimize the amount of inrush current by using the pre-fluxing method.In this study, a test was carried out using a 3-kVA core type 3 phase transformer. This test is done by giving DC flux before the transformer is connected to the voltage source, then the three transformer phases are energized simultaneously at a certain voltage angle so that the inrush current may could be minimized. The test results show that the transformer that is given a DC flux always has a relatively small inrush current. In this test the inrush current is reduced to a minimum value at an ignition angle of 90 degrees with an inrush current value of 0.74 A in phase R, 3.41 A in phase S, and 3.80 A in phase T.

Given that power transformers are one of the most important components of each network, their protection is an important part that the power transformer errors must be accurately identified and distinguished from each other. Therefore, identification and differentiation of transient phenomena of power transformers, including internal and external errors and magnetic inrush current are essential. In this research, Clarke transform and S transform were used to distinguish between these phenomena that the proposed algorithm is very suitable in terms of three characteristics of accuracy, speed and computational cost. Initially, the simulation of internal, external errors and magnetic inrush current of the transformer was performed for different transformer scenarios. For this purpose, 1060 signal tests were performed under different conditions. Subsequently, the signals of differential current obtained by Clarke transformation and S transformation were analyzed and appropriate criteria were extracted for detecting the current of internal errors from external errors and inrush current. The simulated internal and external errors include three- phase, three-phase to ground, two- phase, two- phase to ground and phase to ground error. Simulations were performed using PSCAD software and implementation of the proposed algorithm in MATLAB environment. The results of this study prevent the unwanted performance of differential protection to prevent undesirable electrifying. It is clear that the description of transient phenomena is the first step towards improving new ideas and criteria for protection with the greater reliability of power transformer which can be controlled better such unusual conditions that are currently used in equipment and relay.

Jakarta, Electrical Engineering Education Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Jakarta State University 2018. Supervisor: Nur Hanifah Yuninda, ST., MT., And Imam Arif Raharjo, S.Pd., MT. This study aims to analyze the inrush current when switching bank capacitors. The inrush current can be defined as the magnitude of the current surge that first appears in the circuit, when the circuit is connected to the load. As with transient phenomena, inrush currents in electrical circuits are considered undesirable. In every electrical equipment there must be an inrush current. The inrush current is dangerous for the system when the peak value of the inrush current is very large. To reduce the value of inrush current using a series reactor. The research method used in this study is the experimental method using a research design with pre-experimental design used is one-group pretest-posttest design. In collecting data, the circuit inductance data is collected and on the bank capacitors. To analyze how much the inrush current and frequency before and after the addition of a series reactor. The results showed inrush current when switching capacitor banks before the addition of series reactors exceeded the IEEE Std C37.012-2005 standard where the inrush current is allowed 100 times the rms current. The value of the inrush current and frequency at each step before the addition of the series reactor is: step 1 = 16.29 kA, 4.16 kHz; Step 2 = 289.7 kA, 147.32 kHz; Step 3 = 349.22 kA, 133.2 kHz; Step 4 = 372.47 kA, 126.28 kHz; Step 5 = 386.03 kA, 122.7 kHz; Step 6 = 410.146 kA, 125.15 kHz. The value of the inrush current and frequency at each step after the addition of the series reactor is: step 1 = 1.1 kA, 0.2 kHz; Step 2 = 26.56 kA, 13.5 kHz; Step 3 = 30.68 kA, 11.7 kHz; Step 4 = 36.35 kA, 12.3 kHz; Step 5 = 41.08 kA, 13.05 kHz; Step 6 = 45.27 kA, 13.8 kHz. So that the inrush current is in accordance with the IEEE Std C37.012-2005 standard. ABSTRAK Irfan Hidayat, Analisis Arus Inrush saat Switching Kapasitor Bank pada Busbar 2. Skripsi.

The mathematical model of a shell-core power transformer’s magnetization branch is substantiated. By using the model, analytical expressions for the magnetizing current instantaneous values under the conditions of geomagnetic disturbances can be obtained. Quantitative assessments of the magnetizing inrush current amplitudes and durations versus the geomagnetic disturbance intensity are obtained. The dynamics of the power transformer magnetic system saturation transient and changes in the magnetization inrush current amplitudes and durations after a sudden occurrence of geomagnetic disturbances are shown. The error of estimating the magnetizing inrush current amplitudes under geomagnetic disturbances is determined based on comparison with experimental data.

This paper focuses on the development of new approaches to observe transient phenomena in critical marine environments using autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) for the acquisition of physical and biogeochemical parameters of water and seabed characterization. The connection with metrological principles, together with the adoption of observing methodologies adjustable according to the specific marine environment being studied, allows researchers to obtain results that are reliable, reproducible, and comparable with those obtained through the classic monitoring methodologies. Tests were executed in dramatically dynamic, sensitive, and fragile areas, where the study and application of new methodologies is required to observe phenomena strongly localized in space and requiring very high resolutions, in time. Moreover, the harsh environmental conditions may present risks not only for the quality and quantity of the acquired data but also for the instrumentation and the operators. This is the case, for instance, in polar marine environments in proximity of tidal glaciers and in the Mediterranean Sea in areas characterized by seabed degassing activities, where AMV-supported monitoring procedures can allow for the safe observation of not repeatable and not completely predictable events.
