Reconsidering insulation coordination and simulation under the effect of pollution due to climate change

Abstract

Summary Climate change and air pollution have a direct impact on the performance and lifetime of insulating materials. In recent years, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces in Iran have witnessed a climate change and an increase in air pollution. This problem increases outages and losses in transmission and overhead distribution network. Moreover, traditional and empirical methods have been used for insulation coordination in past decades. As a result, research is needed on the regional power line isolation, revision of insulated surface design, and the number of insulators used. In this paper, a specialized software was used for checking existing lines in Mazandaran and Golestan Regional Power. Insulation computations and isolation studies using MATLAB software were used to present solutions for transmission and overhead distribution networks. This specialized software has the ability to calculate the required minimum air gap and the minimum creepage distance and the number of insulators with due attention to regional pollution, overvoltage due to switching and lightning, and power frequency.

The Impact of Demand Response Programs on Reducing the Emissions and Cost of A Neighborhood Home Microgrid

“…In other words, in this paper, rather than proposing a completely new method, the author's aim is to show that, for different criteria and taking into account a specific objective function for each of the players, users of the proposed structure can make the correct decision in choosing a method. Calculation of MCP [8,11], [16,22], [29][30][31][32]…”

“…It eventually leads to reaching an acceptable level of consumers' power consumption and H-MGs costs reduction. In [31,32], the authors recommended the use of incentive-based payments as price offer packages to implement DR programs. Results of the simulation have considered in three different cases for the optimization of operational costs and total emissions of micro-grid without the involvement of DR.…”

“…No MCP calculation based on the retail electricity pricing and market bids are presented in [22,23,[31][32][33]36].…”

“…No simultaneous optimization of a multi-carrier energy system including thermal and electrical energies is used [13,14,27,[29][30][31][32][33][34]38,39].…”

Dynamic Carbon-Constrained EPEC Model for Strategic Generation Investment Incentives with the Aim of Reducing CO2 Emissions

“…On the other side, considering the energy generation process, a range of emissions, including SO 2 , NO x , are generated in addition to CO 2 [33,34]. These greenhouse gases, in particular, CO 2 , can lead to climate change in such a way that there is a growing concern about worldwide warming and climate change [33,35]. As a result, emissions resulting from power plants should be regarded in the development planning of generation.…”
