Characterization of Uncertainty Contributions in a High-Accuracy PMU Validation System

Mario Paolone, Daniele Colangelo, Asja Derviskadic, Jean-Pierre Braun, Guglielmo Frigo

The eective deployment of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) in Distribution Networks (DNs) requires an enhancement in terms of estimation accuracy beyond the limits of IEEE Std C37.118.1 (IEEE Std), aiming at a Total Vector Error (TVE) in the order of 0.0x% ...

Definition of Accurate Reference Synchrophasors for Static and Dynamic Characterization of PMUs

Mario Paolone, Daniele Colangelo, Marco Pignati, Asja Derviskadic, Guglielmo Frigo

The calibration of phasor measurement units (PMUs) consists of comparing coordinated universal time time-aligned phasors (synchrophasors) measured by the PMU under test, against reference synchrophasors generated through a PMU calibrator. The IEEE Standard ...

Impact of the Normal Zone Propagations Velocity of High Temperature Superconducting Coated Conductors on Resistive Fault Current Limiters

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Daniele Colangelo

The engineering critical current (Ic) of the high temperature superconducting coated conductors (HTS-CCs), today available on the market, is not a uniform parameter and varies significantly along the length of the conductors. Moreover, commercial HTS-CCs h ...

Impact of synchrophasor measurement types and uncertainties on the accuracy of distribution system linear state estimators

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mario Paolone, Daniele Colangelo, Lorenzo Zanni

The paper aims at assessing the effects of combined voltage and/or current synchrophasor measurements, and their associated uncertainties, on the accuracy of state estimators adopted in distribution systems. Such an assessment is first carried out with res ...

Heat transfer monitoring between quenched high-temperature superconducting coated conductors and liquid nitrogen

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Daniele Colangelo

High-temperature superconducting coated conductors (HTS-CCs) are good candidates for resistive superconducting fault current limiter (RSFCL) applications. However, the high current density they can carry and their low thermal diffusivity expose them to the ...

Analysis of the influence of the normal zone propagation velocity on the design of resistive fault current limiters

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Daniele Colangelo

Commercial high-temperature superconducting coated conductors (HTS-CCs) have low thermal diffusivity and nonuniform critical current density. These two factors lead commercial HTS-CCs to a partial quench when they are subjected to a transport current aroun ...

Modelling of 2G HTS Coated Conductors for Fault Current Limiter Applications

Daniele Colangelo

Thanks to recent scientific achievements, second generation high-temperature superconductor coated conductors (HTS-CCs) can carry enormous current densities with reduced losses. In addition, they are able to switch from a negligible resistivity state to a ...

Inhomogeneity effects in HTS coated conductors used as resistive FCLs in medium voltage grids

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Daniele Colangelo

For resistive fault current limiters (RFCLs) based on high temperature superconducting coated conductors (HTS-CCs), inhomogeneity, in terms of critical current and geometrical imperfections such as stabilizer and substrate thicknesses, plays a very importa ...

MV Power Grids Integration of a Resistive Fault Current Limiter Based on HTS-CCs

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Daniele Colangelo

Due to the energy demand growth and distributed generation (DG) units penetration, a substantial increase of the rated short-circuit current of the electrical lines is expected. As a consequence, the electrical grid infrastructure needs to be extended or d ...
