About Emerald www.emeraldinsight.comAbstract Purpose -Decaying DC component has important effect on extracting the fundamental component phasor. It directly affects the precision of protective relaying algorithms which act based on fundamental frequency component. It can be noted that decaying DC component, harmonic components and off-nominal frequency conditions are the major issues which strongly effect phasor estimation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach -This paper proposes a novel hybrid approach for fundamental phasor estimation in order to remove the decaying DC component using Hilbert Transform and Discrete Fourier Transform. Findings -The proposed method (PM) converges to the original value in one cycle in presence of harmonic components and off-nominal frequency condition. In addition, proposed algorithm is able to detect the frequency fluctuation. Thus, it is applicable for static and dynamic conditions. An extensive set of simulation results across static and dynamic validations demonstrated that the proposed approach has faster convergence and better precision than the present methods. In addition, during harmonic distortion and also frequency fluctuation, the PM provides a correct and reliable response. Originality/value -The PM can calculate the DC component exactly from fault current signals and can be used in digital protection algorithms for phasor estimation.
Daily increasing demand of electrical energy and also recent developments in technology of distributed generations (DGs) have created special interest in using these units. On the other hand, capacitor insertion in the distribution feeders has been implemented by distribution companies for several years to reduce power loss and improve the voltage profile. Hence, according to the joint role of distributed generation units and capacitors, their optimal allocation will be influenced by each other. Therefore, in order to achieve the maximum benefits, this paper has discussed the optimal siting and sizing of DG resources and capacitors. One of the characteristics of the proposed method is that all technical and economical factors associated with installation of DGs and capacitors will be priced. For this purpose, all effective factors in optimal allocation and sizing of DG resources and capacitors are extracted and priced. For example, for the first time, the factor of voltage profile has been priced by the number of tapping. Using this approach, weighting the objective function parameters would be no more required. One of the other features of this paper is presenting an algorithm to determine the optimum number of DGs and capacitors. With this algorithm, power companies can find the optimum number of DGs and capacitors in the network they cover. The proposed method in this paper is tested on the 97-bus network of Bakhtar Regional Electrical Company in Iran Country.
