Phasors and Power Quality Monitoring in Czech and Slovakia Grid
Abstract
The presentation covers delivered WAMS systems implementation (real-time phasors measurement) and distributed evaluation of power quality according to IEEE/EN standards. We deal with:
-
Selection of right algorithms for PMUs (phasor measurement unit)
-
Selection of proper measured locations for PMUs and their installation on substations
-
Integration of PMUs into WAMS, customers feedback, final turnkey solution
-
For PQ, full long-term development of large scale portfolio of power quality analyzers (class A)
-
Installation of PQ analyzers to each input/output point of transmission grid
-
Development and installation of the central system providing wide variety of functionality based on the real-time and historical data from PQ meters
-
Integration of mechanisms to interchange PMU data between different TSOs

The South Australia Power Grid Blackout - Analysis and Lessons Learned
Abstract
The South Australia (SA) power grid suffered during last year from couple massive outages and blackout. On 28th of September 2016, 850,000 customers were disconnected from the electricity grid. The tornado hit South Australia, wind gusts up to 190-260 km/h appeared in some areas. During couple minutes SA were subjected to hundreds lightning strikes. The extreme weather conditions caused finally to the SA blackout for more than 10 hours in some areas.
The system, where close to the event up to 50% of energy was generated by wind power, is vulnerable to such extreme weather condition. Even two DC and AC interconnections to Victoria were not enough to cope with the event.
So … what actually happened on September 28th?
Does the country running mostly on renewables may manage the situation in case of low inertia?
Why a lot of wind turbines disconnected from the grid during the event?
The SA blackout brought a lot of discussion in media including politicians. Even Alon Musk suggested resolving the SA grid problem with Tesla energy storage solution…to build 100MW storage solution in 100 days or it free.
The main topics of the presentation are:
-
Australian grid in a nutshell
-
AEMO as system operator
-
Reasons caused the blackout on the 28.09.2016
-
Chain of events
-
Analysis and conclusions

From Fast Real-Time Phasors Monitoring to Long-Term Statistical PQ Evaluation over the Electricity Grid at Czech and Slovak Republic
Abstract
The presentation introduces the key business issues of the Asset Management domain at Utilities, and describes how digitalization can dramatically improve the decision-making process to generate significant added value at Grid Utilities.
By creating a digital thread from field inspections and smart sensors up to decision support at Enterprise level, Utilities can:
-
consolidate their asset data,
-
capitalize their knowhow in digital models representing the asset behavior,
-
use advanced, predictive analytics to enhance their methodology for decisions.
Technology directions for Enterprise-wide digitalization will be presented, together with the barriers to change commonly faced at Utilities.
The presentation will describe the various data collection techniques, the analytics built from asset monitoring data and covering various time horizons for decisions, including Asset Health Index for long term asset replacement perspective and Maintenance Index for shorter term interventions, Criticality and Risk analysis, and so forth.
Finally, the presentation will use actual case studies to explain how Grid Utilities could generate significant Reliability improvements with excellent Return on Investment.
Key words: Digital, Service, Asset, Performance, Management, Maintenance, Replacement, Condition, Monitoring, Analytic, Risk, Reliability, Value

The Fire of Autotransformer as Result of 400 kV Bushing Explosion
Abstract
The transformer bushing is one of the important elements ensuring connection between transformer and electrical network and reliable isolation between winding’s lead and tank. The share of transformer’s damageability of bushings is very high. The explosion of bushing, as a rule, leads to a fire on transformer. In addition, during the explosion of bushing with ceramic isolator, formed ceramic pieces are scattered in different directions for tens of meters. These pieces can cause personal injury and damage to equipment in the explosion zone. The flame from the fire leads to damage of protective walls, breakage of bushings on the transformer and isolators of neighboring equipment, cables and metal constructions, burning of oil. The fire is formed as a result of ignition by breakdown electric arc of oil-impregnated paper of bushing and leakage oil from tank. This article describes the reason of bushing’s explosion, which based on the post mortem analysis of the damaged bushing, and considers of possible influence of electrical transient over-voltages as a result of switching in electrical network. In the article damage of bushing is presentedvoltages as a result of switching in electrical network. In the article damage of bushing is presented.
