Aligning Demand Response Capabilities with Appropriate Applications
For more than 100 years, electrical generation, transmission and distribution have been built to meet expected expansion in customer demand. However, this historical pattern is changing. Due to more efficient use of energy and conservation, load growth is decreasing or flatlining, and peak periods are shifting, due to ...
WEBINAR OVERVIEW
Digital disruption is driving the next wave of technological evolution, and the utility sector is no exception. According to ABI Research, augmented reality (AR) is expected to balloon into a $100 billion industry by 2020.
The imminent appearance of AR in the marketplace will benefit the power utilities and other enterprises that have thought through both the value and the implications for their traditional practices. Bringing AR...
Evaluation of the Effectiveness and Robustness of Residential-Scale Smart Photovoltaics
Published via IEEE Xplore
Abstract
This paper presents the results of an investigation of undesirable impacts of voltage control actions from autonomously acting residential Photovoltaic generators (PVs) in response to overvoltage conditions. The investigation was performed on a realworld secondary distribution system. We conclude that Volt-Var control curve sett...
Case Study of the Lightning Performance of a 230 kV Transmission Line
Published via IEEE Xplore
Abstract
This paper presents a statistical lightning performance study conducted for a North American 230 kV transmission line in order to investigate a shielding failure flashover that caused equipment damages. The study is performed in IEEE Flash program by using actual design and field-measured data. The investigation results are presented in terms of ...
