TL;DR: In this paper , a phase identification framework based on consensus algorithms for large distribution network zones is proposed, which is scalable for large DN and robust towards measurement errors as the estimation is not dependent on a single measurement point.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compare the true voltage unbalance definition and approximate unbalance metrics derived from phase voltage magnitude, as phase voltage magnitudes are commonly measured by digital metering infrastructure.
Abstract: Voltage unbalance in distribution networks (DN) is expected to grow with increasing penetration of single-phase distributed generation and single-phase loads such as electric vehicle chargers. Unbalance mitigation will be a significant concern as voltage unbalance leads to increased losses, reduced motor and inverter efficiency, and becomes a limiting factor for DN operation. The true definition of the unbalance metric needs phasor measurements of network voltage and current. However, such phasor measurements are generally not available in real life and as such approximate definitions are widely used due to their simplicity. This work aims to compare the true voltage unbalance definition and approximate unbalance metrics derived from phase voltage magnitude, as phase voltage magnitudes are commonly measured by digital metering infrastructure. For the comparison, multi-period power flow simulations are performed for 161 Spanish distribution feeders with R/X ratios varying from 2.87 to 14.68. We observe that phase magnitude-based unbalance metrics reasonably approximate the true unbalance for higher R/X ratios with a varying load power factor in a DN. Furthermore, the approximate unbalance metrics slightly improve for a low DN power factor due to the increase in DN unbalance. Therefore, the phase magnitude-based unbalance metric can be utilized for approximating DN unbalance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multistory transmission tower model is proposed to predict the waveform of each insulator voltage, which is useful in determining the phase and the instant of a back flashover.
Abstract: A multistory transmission tower model to be used in multiconductor analysis by EMTP (Electromagnetic Transients Program) is proposed. The circuit parameters of the model are determined based on the measurement of voltages across the insulator strings on an actual 500 kV transmission tower. The multiconductor lightning surge analysis considered enables one to predict the waveform of each insulator voltage, which is useful in determining the phase and the instant of a back flashover. The new tower model is recommended in Japan to be used in the new multiconductor analysis of EHV and UHV class double circuit transmission lines. The new tower model and conventional tower models are compared in the analysis of minimum back flashover lightning currents at a UHV transmission line. The new model gives about 20% smaller current. >

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation was performed on a UHV tower model for the EMTP multiconductor calculation of lightning overvoltage at substations associated with back-flashover at an adjacent transmission tower.
Abstract: An experimental investigation was performed on a UHV tower model for the EMTP multiconductor calculation of lightning overvoltage at substations associated with back-flashover at an adjacent transmission tower. The various lightning surge response characteristics were measured on an actual UHV tower, and parameters of a multistory transmission tower model that can reproduce voltages across the insulator strings, voltages of the crossarms, and voltages of the power lines were determined. A value of 120 /spl Omega/ was determined as the surge impedance at each section of the multistory tower model, which closely agreed with the tower surge impedance measured for the UHV tower alone. >

TL;DR: In this paper, the Telegraphers' Equations are solved with the return stroke vertical and horizontal electric fields as forcing functions, and the hori zontal electric fields are calculated from measured or assumed vertical fields and assuned earth conductivities.
Abstract: Theory is presented which shows that nearby lightning return strokes can induce voltage surges of either positive or negative polarity on an overhead line depending on the location of the lightning relative to the line. The Telegraphers' Equations are solved with the return stroke vertical and horizontal electric fields as forcing functions. The hori zontal electric fields are calculated from measured or assumed vertical fields and assuned earth conductivities. For a typical return stroke, voltage waveforms are presented for a line of 500 m length and one of 5 km length for the following conditions: earth conductivities between 10-2 mhos/m and 10-5 mhos/m, earth permittivities between ??= 15 and ??= 3, and lightning ground strike points between 0.2 km and 5.0 km of the line at a variety of positions around the line. Measured voltages on a 460 m test line described in a companion paper are compared with calculated voltage waveforms derived from measured vertical electric fields, in accordance with the developed theory. Calculated waveshapes are found to be in moderately good agreement with the measurements, but calculated magnitudes are about a factor of 4 lower than measured. Possible errors in both theory and measurement are discussed. Voltage measurements reported by other investigators are, in general, consistent with the present theory

TL;DR: In this article, simplified methods of calculating the voltage across the insulator string are presented based on field-theory concepts for a stroke to the tower with zero tower footing resistance.
Abstract: 1. Simplified methods of calculating the voltage across the insulator string are presented based on field-theory concepts for a stroke to the tower with zero towerfooting resistance. 2. The voltage across the insulator string is composed of two components: (a). that produced by the rent and the charge fed into the tower and ground wires, and (b). that produced by the charge above the tower. 3. To calculate the voltage produced by the current and charge fed into the tower and ground wires, conventional traveling-wave theory and methods can be used provided the proper value of surge impedances are used. 4. Equations, based on field theory, are presented to calculate the ground wire and tower surge impedances and the conductor-to-ground mutual impedances. 5. The development of travelingwave theory directly from field theory places traveling-wave theory on a more rigorous basis. 6. To calculate the voltage produced by the charge above the tower, approximate simplified equations are given for a given stroke mechanism. These can be modified for other assumptions. 7. From examples and calculations given in this paper it is possible to gain some insight on the effect of tower geometry, number of ground wires, and position of the conductor on the voltage across the insulator string. Voltages were calculateed across the top and bottom insulator strings of the single-groundwire AEP-OVEC 345-kv tower, across the top insulator string of the two-groundwire AEP-OVEC 345-kv tower, and across the insulator string on the PW&P 220-kv tower.
