Due to faults and switching, transmission lines encounter power oscillations referred as power swings. Although in most cases they do not lead to an eventual instability, severe changes in power flows on the lines may cause the operation of impedance relays incorrectly, leading to cascaded tripping of other lines. Out-of-Step tripping function is employed in modern distance relays to distinguish such an unstable swing but setting the parameters and deciding lines to be tripped require detailed dynamic power system modelling and analysis. The proposed method aims to determine possible out-of-step (OOS) locations on a power system without performing detailed dynamic simulations. Method presented here, is based on grouping of the buses by statistical clustering analysis of the network impedance matrix. Inter-cluster lines are shown to be more vulnerable to give rise to OOS as proven with dynamic simulations on IEEE 39 bus test system.

Prediction of hot-spot and top-oil temperatures of power transformers according to IEEE standards C57.110-1998 and C57.91-1995
Karaca, Haldun; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this thesis, the effects of Harmonics on the Top Oil and Hot Spot Temperatures of Power Transformers used in Turkish Electricity Transmission System have been investigated. Due to the solid state equipment, the harmonic levels increase. This effect raises the losses and temperatures in the transformer windings. None of the power transformers currently used in Turkey has measuring equipment suitable for measuring the Hot-Spot temperatures. In this study, a computer program is written in LABVIEW which meas...
Reduction of switching overvoltages by means of controlled switching
Güneri, Melih; Özay, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis analyses the controlled switching methods applied to modern SF6 type circuit breakers for the purpose of reducing switching overvoltages. Main emphasis is placed on controlled switching methods applied at extra high voltage level, since the cost of failures caused by switching overvoltages is highest in this voltage level. After a brief introduction about circuit breakers in general, switching overvoltages and controlled switching methods are analysed. Also a case study about controlled switchin...
Design and realization of a high voltage radio interference voltage (riv) measurement system
Özer, Mutlu; Hızal, Mirzahan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
This thesis aims the design and the realization of a radio noise meter which can be used to measure radio interference of a high-voltage transmission line due to partial discharges like conductor corona. The radio noise meter is the common equipment for radio noise and radio interference voltage measurements. The corona of transmission lines, its characteristics, its effects on radio interference and measurement of corona caused radio noise in the scope of relevant international standards are investigated. ...
Design and implementation of a current source converter based statcom for reactive power compensation
Bilgin, Hazım Faruk; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
This research work is devoted to the analysis, design and development of the first medium power Current-Source Converter (CSC) based distribution-type Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) with simplest converter topology and coupling transformer connection. The developed CSC-D-STATCOM includes a +/-750kVAr full-bridge CSC employing Selective Harmonic Elimination Method (SHEM), a 250kVAr low-pass input filter at 1kV voltage level, and a Δ/Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium-voltag...
Determination of optimum values for voltage setpoints of power stations in Turkey
Elma, İsmail; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Voltage control is performed in three hierarchical levels in Turkish power system: primary, secondary and tertiary voltage control. Primary and secondary voltage controls are defined as the regulation of the voltage at the generator terminal and at the high voltage busbar of the power plant according to the pre-determined setpoints. The determination of the voltage setpoints for the power plants, which is defined as the tertiary voltage control, is performed by the operators in National and Regional Load Di...
