David will be providing a seminar on Monday. Hope you will attend. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MSU PERL (Power & Energy Research Lab) Seminar ? Monday, March 30 3:30 pm ? Simrall 104 Mr. David Clark, PhD Candidate Cardiff University, Cardiff, Wales Title: Switching Transients in LV Networks with Small-scale Distributed Generation Abstract: With mounting concern over energy security, growing public opposition to conventional power generation on environmental grounds, and the increasingly uncertain economics and politics of fossil fuel supply, there are set to be major changes in the way in which our electrical energy is generated, distributed and utilised. Europe?s electricity networks are adapting to accommodate the huge amounts of sustainable and dispersed generation necessary to meet government targets to 2020 and beyond. To this end, there has been a great deal of research into maximising the yield of such sources while maintaining acceptable levels of supply security, quality and reliability. There has, however, been little in the way of fast transient analyses relating specifically to disperse generation. This talk will summarise the work carried out at Cardiff to analyse the impact of switching transients within domestic premises and LV networks arising as a result of the connection of uncontrolled microgeneration. Disconnection and Reconnection of a generator rated below 16A/phase is required by Engineering Recommendation G83 and its equivalent draft British Standard, in response to system voltage and frequency deviations. Initial simulation results are presented for individual generators within customer supplies, and also for LV feeders with multiple sources. The planned laboratory setup for verification of these simulations will be discussed, together with plans for future studies based on the accepted generic UK distribution network model. Biography: David Clark graduated from Cardiff University in 2007 with a BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He is currently pursuing his PhD with the High Voltage Energy Systems Group at Cardiff School of Engineering. David?s areas of interest include Electromagnetic Transients and Insulation Coordination in Power Systems, and the grid-integration of Distributed and Renewable Generation Technology. He also lectures in the areas of Electric Fields and Dielectric Materials. -- Dr. Noel Schulz Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering TVA Endowed Professor of Power Systems Engineering Mississippi State University schulz@ece.msstate.edu 662-325-2020, 662-325-2298 (fax) From nschulz at engr.msstate.edu Mon Mar 30 14:45:24 2009 From: nschulz at engr.msstate.edu (Noel Schulz) Date: Mon Mar 30 14:47:57 2009 Subject: [ece4633] Some test solutions up Message-ID: <8F80C49073498541A9419229001A1204018190D1@argon.engr.msstate.edu> All - Most of the test #2 solutions are up.
