Research on typical application in distribution station area

The traditional power distribution station area lacks advanced functions for power distribution, and it is not conducive to operation and maintenance management. In order to improve the intelligent level of the distribution station area, it is constructed around with the intelligent distribution transformer terminal. Take intelligent distribution transformer terminal as the centre, the schemes of some typical applications, such as topology identification, line impedance analysis and three-phase unbalanced governance, are researched and designed to support the construction of distribution station area.

Mobile Augmented Reality Application for Component Identification

This article discusses the development of augmented reality (AR) based object identification applications. The purpose of this study is to improve the distribution station component identification workbook. Through the implementation of the developed application, it is assumed that it will be easier to understand the functionality of the components of the distributing station. The augmented reality application was developed for the android platform. The result showed the application of Distributing Station-AR has been developed by applying a marker-based tracking method. The application test has successfully displayed the three-dimension components of distributing station using a marker on the component identification workbook of distributing station. Product performance is known to be very good and product validation is also very good, including material validation, media validation, and first user responses. For further development, this application is expected to add animation of the working principle of AR-based components.

Development of Micro-Spatial Electricity Load Forecasting Methodology Using Multivariate Analysis for Dynamic Area in Tangerang, Indonesia

Dynamic population and land use significantly affect future energy demand. This paper proposes a suitable method to forecast load growth in a dynamic area in Tangerang, Indonesia. This research developed micro-spatial load forecasting, which can show load centres in microgrids, estimate the capacity and locate the distribution station precisely. Homogenous grouping implemented the method into clusters consisted of microgrids. It involves multivariate variables containing 12 electric and non-electric variables. Multivariate analysis is conducted by carrying out Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Factor Analysis. The forecasting results can predict load growth, time, and location, which can later be implemented as the basis of a master electricity distribution plan because it provides an accurate long-term forecast.

Application of the resonant energy separation effect at natural gas reduction points in order to improve the energy efficiency of the gas distribution system

Maintaining the gas temperature and the formation of gas hydrates is one of the main problems in the operation of gas pipelines. Development and implementation of new effective methods for heating the gas during gas reduction will reduce the cost of gas transportation, solve the problem of resource and energy saving in the fuel industry. Study is aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of the natural gas reduction process by using a resonant gas heater to maintain the set temperature at the outlet of the gas distribution station (GDS) and prevent possible hydrate formation and icing of the station equipment. Paper considers the implementation of fireless heating of natural gas and fuel gas savings of heaters due to the introduction of a thermoacoustic reducer, operating on the basis of the Hartmann – Sprenger resonance effect, into the scheme of the reduction unit. By analyzing the existing methods of energy separation and numerical modeling, the effectiveness of the resonant-type energy separation device is substantiated. Modification of the reduction unit by introducing energy separating devices into it will allow general or partial heating of natural gas by its own pressure energy. Developed technology will allow partial (in the future, complete) replacement of heat energy generation at a gas distribution station by burning natural gas.
