Voltage-regulation equipment

Voltage-Regulation Equipment Using Battery in a DC Railway System... 

Photovoltaic generation and even a wind power generation necessitate energy storage, that is, battery. As an application example of a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, voltage-regulation equipment for a direct current (dc) railway system is developed based on EMTP simulations. EMTP simulation is explained in detail and a comparison with measured results is carried out. EMTP data lists are given in this chapter. 

The fault level at the point of supply to the installation requires consideration. The minimum fault level which can occur will affect the operation of the installation, particularly with regard to voltage regulation when starting motors, while the maximum fault level will determine the ratings of equipment installed. All supply systems develop with time, and the switchgear and other equipment installed at an installation must be chosen to be suitable if the external supply system expands. 

Adler and Axelrod,58 in their two-channel spectrograph, have taken the ultimate step in this direction by measuring the two intensities simultaneously. We may take for granted that the proper use of-an internal standard can eliminate the effect of different variations in equipment in different cases. It follows that care may be relaxed in connection with variations thus eliminated for example, approximate voltage regulation suffices for an x-ray source used to excite both analytical lines when these are measured simultaneously. 

Figures D.3 and D.6 show the responses of frequency in the first one second. Both machines respond in much the same way in the first half second. This is dne to the fact that this part of the response is open loop and is mainly determined by the mechanical inertia and the size of the disturbance, as discussed in Chapter 21 of Reference 1 see also snb-section 2.5 herein. Also shown in these two figures are typical setting levels for underfrequency (81) multi-stage relays. In addition to the setting levels the relays shonld also have time delay settings, so that coordination with other power system equipment can be achieved, e.g. automatic voltage regulators of generators, automatic re-acceleration of induction motors, see also sub-section 7.6 herein. For the settings shown the relays would respond in the range of about 70 to 150 milliseconds, which is typically about half the response...

Voltage regulation is one of the main problems in the distribution systems, especially at the mueh far-end load and in the rural areas. Voltage regulation and maintaining the voltage level are well known problems in the radial distribution network. Several techniques have been applied by implementing many devices in the distribution network to solve these problems. The most common devices and techniques used are transformer equipped by load... 

The associated equipment consists of a solid-state automatic voltage regulator that controls a thyristor converter which in turn supplies the generator field via a field circuit breaker, generator slip rings, and brush gear. The main power output from the generator to the step-up transformer is by means of a forced air-cooled, isolated phase bus duct, with tap offs to the unit service transformer, excitation transformer, and potential transformer cubicle. 

A voltage regulator also comes equipped with two other major components, namely, the tap-changing mechanism and the control mechanism. Line voltage sensing is provided through instrument transformers. 

The principle equipment generally installed in a distribution substation are power transformers, oil or air circuit breakers, voltage regulators, protective relays, air break and disconnect switches, surge arresters, measuring instruments, and in some instances, storage batteries and capacitors. 

PCB contaminated Any electric equipment that contains more than 50, but less than 500 ppm of PCBs. (Oil-filled electrical equipment other than circuit breakers, reclosers, and cable whose PCB concentration is unknown must be assumed to be PCB-contaminated equipment.) Transformers, capacitors, circuit breakers, reclosers, voltage regulators, switches, cable, electromagnets... 

There are other electrical consumer regulations, like The Plugs and Sockets Regulations 1994 and the Low Voltage Electrical Equipment Regulations 1989. 

These Regulations were made on 15 December 1994 by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 to implement the amended Low Voltage Directive 93/68/EC of 22 July 1993. They extended and replaced the Low Voltage Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1989 and came into force on 9 January 1995, but were not applicable to equipment placed on the market before 1 January 1997. After this date all new equipment had to comply. 

The Regulations do not cover locations outside the equipotential zone. In such locations it is suggested that it should be possible to separate livestock from mains voltage electrical equipment or use SELV apparatus operating at not more than 25 V a.c. or 60 V d.c. Where persons only are at risk, the SELV voltages may be increased to a maximum of 50 V a.c. or 120 V ripple-free d.c. Users of mains voltage portable apparatus should be protected by a sensitive RCD, and Class II apparatus is to be preferred. 

Does facility have any PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) containing equipment such as transformers, capacitors, hydraulic system, heat transfer system, electromagnets, switches, and voltage regulators ... 

One factor that is of great importance to the user is the difference between a normal power supply (220/230 V) and a low-voltage one (24 V, 5 V), since the heating method depends on this, and consequently also the thermal regulation equipment and the connection method. There are also mixed systems, a typical example of which would be a manifold powered by normal voltage while the nozzles have a low-voltage supply.
