In order to maintain these devices within the safe temperature limits, an effective cooling is needed. High heat transfer rate of compact in size and reliable operation are the challenges of a thermal design engineer of electronic equipment. Then, it has been simulated the transient a three-dimensional model to study the heating phenomenon with two assumption values of heat generation. To control for the working of this equipment, cooling process was modeled by choosing one from different cooling technique. Constant low speed fan at one direction of air flow was used for cooling to predict the reducing of heating temperature through working of this equipment. Numerical Solution of finite difference time domain method (FDTD) has been utilized to simulate the temporal and spatial temperature profiles through two processes, which would minimize the solution errors.展开更多

Especially for electrical machines, both the supplier and the user are interested in the results of PD measurements. However, PDs hardly represent the cause of the failure, more likely they are claimed as the outcome of a failure. This paper deals with the insulation of a 6 kV electrical machine, whereas PD measurements were carried out at a single stator from wound coils. During manufacturing, these coils were equipped with different materials for the OCP (outer corona protection). Using different PD measurement systems and different bandwidths, investigations of the PD behavior of the coils were carried out. Additionally, the surface resistivity of the corona protection was determined. As a result, conclusions for the correlations between the resistance of the OCP as well as the PD behavior are stated. Furthermore, the influence of using different measurement systems, different measuring circuits, and different bandwidths is shown.展开更多

Based on the periodic test, the authors of this paper present the possibility of an extended evaluation and more accurate analysis of transient and failure events. For periodical testing, as implemented during the commissioning of power plants in the Czech Republic, a monitoring system of electrical equipment has been used, to record the courses of important electrical parameters and thus, proving the proper functioning of complex technological systems in various operation modes. Data from monitoring system were used to prove the successful results of the test or as a base data for further analysis of failures. The monitoring system has proved itself as a very useful device also when recording unexpected failure events, the cause of which was very quickly and accurately detected by the follow-up analysis. Initially, only the voltage and current data from measuring transformers, analogue transducers and contact relays were used as input data for the monitoring system. After the implementation of new digital protection technology and controlling terminals with inner data recorder, the data from digital devices could be also utilized for the monitoring system.展开更多

In the study, the system was heated up without electric device, i.e., the fuel providing the required thermal energy through an integrated BOP (balance of plant). The ex-situ experiments, without an SOFC stack installed in the system, were fast conducted to investigate the operability of a BOP apparatus. It was found that the BOP possessed high conversion rates for both steam reforming and water gas shift reactions. The total fuel concentration of hydrogen and carbon monoxide from the reformer was around 91.2%. The system validation tests showed that, with the natural gas as fuel, the output power from the stack reached to 1,060 W, while the fuel utilization efficiency and electrical efficiency were 67.16% and 45.0%, respectively. A steady 600-hour system operation test was carried out at an average system temperature of 694℃. Of which, a 36-cell stack was employed for the test. Meanwhile, the current, voltage and output power were 26 A, 32.3 V and 840 W, respectively, and its electrical efficiency was around 33.4%.展开更多

There is important theoretical significance and engineering application value to the study of the characteristic period of seismic design response spectrum of ultra high voltage (UHV) electrical equipment. In this paper, 1448 horizontal earthquake records within the world scope including the United States and Japan for Site Class m were analyzed. Results show that both magnitude and epicentral distance have great influence on the characteristic period. About 80 % of characteristic periods of strong earthquake records are about 0. 9s. Statistical analysis was conducted on the seismic hazard assessment results of 312 projects of China in recent years, and it is found that about 70 % of characteristic periods are about 0. 9s. Combined with the related code comparison and analysis, it is suggested that the characteristic period of the seismic design response spectrmn of UHV electrical equipment should select 0. 9s in order to effectively guarantee the seismic safety of UHV electrical equipment.展开更多

The problem analyzed in paper concerns thyristor controlled direct current motor used for ski-lift in ski resort as a source of disturbances with negative impact on sensitive electric equipment, which is then unable to operate correctly. To solve mentioned problems, series of measurements of voltage quality parameters were carried out according to the respective valid standards. Crucial power quality parameters necessary for parallel power active filter design were then analyzed. Power active filter compensates power factor and filters characteristic current harmonics. After power active filter was put into operation, power quality problems were eliminated. Payback period is estimated up to four years.展开更多

The analytical method permits one to assess the error occurrence probability in transmitting the data packets considering the dependence on the signal pulses energies-to-pulse disturbances energies ratio and the disturbances repetition frequency-to-data transmission rate ratio and also the dependence on the bits quantity in the packet. The numerical method allows one to assess the specific effect of the repetitive pulse disturbance influence on the digital devices functioning (the number of errors in transmitted data packets, transmission rate, etc.) depending on such factors as the repetition frequency, the disturbance waveform and duration, the mode of data coding, etc..展开更多

The type of insulation gas has influence on pressure development. Typically SF6 is used incompact metal-clad switchgear, however, it has a high global warming potential. Because of this, the replacement of SF6 by alternative gases such as CO2 is under discussion. The pressure developments in a closed vessel filled with air, SF6 and CO2 are measured and compared. During internal arcing in gas-insulated switchgear, overpressure causes a rupture of a burst plate and hot gas escapes into the surrounding room mixing with air. In order to predict the pressure development in electrical installations reliably, the portion of energy causing pressure rise, arc voltage as well as reliable gas data i.e., thermodynamic and transport properties, must be known in a wide range of pressure and temperature. These data are up to now not available for CO2/air mixtures. The thermodynamic properties are directly calculated from the number densities, internal partition functions and enthalpies of formation. The transport coefficients are deduced using the Chapman-Enskog method. Comparing measured and calculated pressure developments in a test arrangement demonstrates the quality of the calculation approach.展开更多
