The main problem with electricity supply on densely populated islands is reliable, low-carbon, and sustainable electricity. The availability of potential energy needs in-depth observation to ensure that the system can be built sustainably. This paper examines the integration of PV systems and diesel power systems on Karimunjawa Island to meet the need for reliable systems from economic, ecological, and technological aspects. Using the DigSilent Power Factory program to obtain the system response interference and penetration of the Photovoltaic (PV) system. Furthermore, this paper also tests short circuit analysis and economic feasibility analysis while validating the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and Electric Production Cost (EPC) approaches. The results show that the availability of irradiation can handle the electricity needs on Karimunjawa Island. In addition, it proposes the designed requirements for an integrated PV power system and Diesel Power Plant (DPP) system. The research has also captured the synergistic profile of PV and DPP working coordination within 24 h.

Teaching Short - Circuit Calculation with Off - Nominal Turns Ratio Transformers

Teaching short-circuit analysis is conducted primarily through case studies; however, there are not many validated short-circuit studies available on the subject, especially when considering off-nominal turns ratio transformers. In order to improve the teaching of short-circuit analysis, a three phase short-circuit study in an industrial system according to ANSI/IEEE standards by means of Zmatrix method is presented; two case studies are considered: the industrial system with nominal and offnominal turns ratio transformers, in both cases the step by step solution is given in an explicit manner and the analytical results are validated through software simulation.

Virtual Detection of Mechanically Induced Short Circuits in a Cylindrical Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Based on Finite Element Simulation

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are commonly used in today’s electric vehicles. Studying their behaviour under mechanical loading, including short circuits, is vital for vehicle safety. This paper covers three major topics, (1) a general literature review for the state-of-the-art of LIBs, (2) physical cell tests for model validation are performed, wherein the occurrence of short circuits is detected and (3) creating a finite element model (FEM) of an 18650 cylindrical LIB using the most recent testing and simulation techniques. A variety of short-circuit criteria based on stresses, strains and geometric parameters have been implemented in the simulation and compared to the test results. It will be demonstrated that a combination of two geometric criteria, in the radial and axial directions of the cell, is best suited for virtual short-circuit detection in the simulation. Finally, the short-circuit criteria are implemented in a post-processing tool that allows fast short-circuit analysis of cells of different loadings. In the future, this method of short-circuit detection will be used to analyse an assembly of several battery cells such as, for instance, an automotive or maritime battery pack. Furthermore, the developed method enables mechanical integration with respect to crash safety in vehicles.

Short Circuit Analysis on Distribution Network 20 kV Using Etap Software

In an electric power system, electricity is generated by the power plant and then channeled to a transmission line and then distributed to consumers, in the process of distributing electrical energy, the system does not always work in normal conditions, sometimes the system can experience disturbances such as one-phase, two-phase, and three-phase disturbances. This interference can disrupt the electrical system and can damage equipment if left unchecked, therefore it is necessary to install a protection device that can decide the interference so as not to damage other equipment when a disturbance occurs. Here the protection device used is a circuit breaker. In a fault condition, the circuit breaker must be able to separate the points of the fault so as not to damage other electrical equipment. In this case, to determine the capacity of the best protection device for the system, a short circuit fault simulation is performed. To simplify the calculation process here the author uses the help of ETAP software (Electrical Transient Analysis Program).

Power System Analysis of Seawater Desalination Plant in Algeria with Different Load Scenarios

The cost of electricity for the reverse osmosis desalination process is up to 50% of the cost per cubic meter of water produce. Currently, the reduction of energy consumption is the main objective of the research on reverse osmosis plants. This document presents a power system analysis of the seawater desalination plant in Algeria with different load scenarios with a power of 50 MW made available by the electricity company Sonelgaz and a distribution level of 220/11/0.69/0.4 kV and a 2 MW diesel generator at the 0.4 kV level. The objective of this study is to analyze and dimension a general distribution network of an industrial customer through the power flow with different load and contingency scenarios (full load, full load N-1, low load, emergency system) to know and control its optimal and flexible operation. In a second step, the dimensioning of different protective devices is planned through a short circuit analysis of this network in order to evaluate the performance of the system. The ETAP program is used to carry out our simulation of this industrial plant and the effectiveness of the results is proven by comparisons with real measurements for the power flow analysis on the one hand and on the other hand with the results obtained by the builder for the short circuit analysis.

Integration of Voltage Source Converters in Steady-State RMS Short-Circuit Analysis

Voltage source converters (VSCs) are self-commutated converters able to generate AC voltages with or without the support of an AC connecting grid. VSCs allow fast control of active and reactive powers in an independent way. VSCs also have black start capability. Their use in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, comparative to the more mature current source converter (CSC)-based HVDC, offers faster active power flow control. In addition, VSCs provide flexible reactive power control, independent at each converter terminal. It is also useful when connecting DC sources to weak AC grids. Steady-state RMS analysis techniques are commonly used for early-stage analysis, for design purposes and for relaying. Sources interfaced through DC/AC or AC/DC/AC converters, opposite to conventional generators, are not well represented by electromotive forces (E) behind impedance models. A methodology to include voltage source converters (VSCs) in conventional RMS short-circuit analysis techniques is advanced in this work. It represents an iterative procedure inside general calculation techniques and can even be used by those with only basic power electronics knowledge. Results are compared to those of the commercial software package PSS®CAPE to demonstrate the validity of the proposed rmsVSC algorithm.

Power Flow and Short Circuit Analysis of Distribution System with 300 kW Distributed Generation Connected

Power flow analysis aims to determine the capacity of a generator to serve loads, to know the value of power losses in the electrical system, and to carry out a planning and development of the electric power system. Power flow analysis is carried out in order to find out the characteristics of the electric power system to be built or to be developed as desired. In this study, power flow analysis and short circuit analysis were carried out in the electrical system of Andalas University with 2 conditions, namely, when the conditions were normal or when the Distributed Generation was not added and when the conditions were added, the Distributed Generation (DG) Photovoltaic 300 kW. The results of this study indicate the largest system losses when normal conditions are on bus 1 to bus 2 amounting to 20.21 kW and 6.13 kVar, and when conditions add DG on bus 17 to bus 18 are 230.8 kW and 142.7 kVar. The results of the short circuit analysis of the two conditions are on bus 1 when the condition is experiencing the addition of DG with an increase in average current, namely 1 soil phase of 0.86 kA, 2 phases of 0.175 kA, 2 soil phases of 0.09609 kA, and 3 phases of 0.085273 kA from when the conditions were normal.
