Enhancement of ATC using UPFC under Deregulated Environment
Abstract: Available transfer capability is the most important factor for the identification of power transfer from gencos to discos. In a deregulated power system, power producer and customer share a common transmission network for wheeling of the electric power. This may cause violation of line flow, voltage and stability limits and thereby undermine the security limit [1]. To improve the available transfer capability of the system FACTS controllers are used. UPFC …

The Transient Response and Frequency Characteristics of Power Transformers having Non-uniform Winding Insulation
Abstract: This paper presents a Laplace-domain distributed-parameter technique for analyzing the transient and frequency response of power transformers having non-uniform winding insulation. Stronger winding insulation near the windings source side terminals is usually applied in order to mitigate the concentration of the transient voltage stresses close to these locations. This will result in a location-dependent inter-turn capacitance distribution. The suggested procedure for analyzing such windings is based on the cascade connection …
