    Flexible AC transmission systems are used for enhancing the stability, transmission efficiency, and reliability of AC grids. Additionally, the most cost-effective devices for compensating reactive power are Mechanically Switched Capacitors (MSCs). This study proposes a novel algorithm for detection and capacitor bank switching transient signals in MSC, to prevent the protective relay maloperation by these transients. The Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used for effective time-frequency analysis and detection of measured three-phase current signals. DWT extracts the detailed wavelet coefficients of current signals at levels 1 to 30. In addition, the fuzzy inference system (FIS) has been used to determine the type of switching transient. The proposed combination of FIS and DWT has been tested on 230 kV substation and the result demonstrated precision for the identification and classification of both transient signals in MSC with 88% accuracy rate.

    In the recent decade, there has been a rising concern in energy consumption and environmental issues. This trend has shifted the electric authority to focus from fossil fuel to renewable energy. The distributed generation (DG) using a renewable energy source has been raising. The presence of DG can cause using renewable energy sources to cause a technical issue on system protection and operation. This paper aims to study the impact of different DG size installations on the distribution system in terms of the system characteristics. The study is done in both normal conditions and in cases of fault occurrence. The system using in this research is a 22-kV distribution system consists of Wind Power Generation as the DG connected into the distribution line that modeled after part of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) in the northern part of Thailand. The simulation was done using PSCAD software. The result from simulation reveals the impact of DG on the distribution system characteristics in terms of significant change in the measured current and voltage signal. Thus, the analysis of the impact of DG on the system must be done to ensure the reliability of the power system.

    The high voltage capacitor bank is a critical component in substations, essential for maintaining power quality and system stability. However, these banks are susceptible to faults and inrush currents, posing significant operational challenges. This paper presents a method for accurately classifying fault and inrush currents in high voltage capacitor banks using Fuzzy Logic and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The DWT decomposes current waveforms into frequency components, enabling the extraction of features that characterize faults and inrush currents. These features are processed by a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), which classifies the events based on predefined rules and membership functions. The integration of DWT and FIS provides a robust framework for distinguishing between different types of faults and inrush currents with high accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed method's efficacy, showing improved performance in classification accuracy and noise robustness compared to traditional techniques. This research enhances monitoring and protection systems in power networks, ensuring more reliable operation of high voltage capacitor banks. Implementing this method allows for better fault management and minimized downtime, leading to improved overall system efficiency and stability.

    In this paper proposed the voltage drop improvement on distribution system with high voltage (HV) capacitors simply technique using PSCAD/EMTDC software. Considering, the HV capacitor placement techniques to improve voltage drop on the distribution system such as front load and 1/2kVar techniques are compared with base case (without the capacitor installation). The sizing and position of using HV capacitors are investigated and analyzed with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) voltage regulation standard. Furthermore, the switching voltage transient occurred during each step of HV capacitor switching to the distribution system is also analyzed. The results claim that the voltage drop depends on HV capacitors placement that could be improved the voltage profile on distribution system as 5% increasing. Additionally, the transient voltage of each technique is hard to summarize, as it is reliable upon the sizing of HV capacitor switching in each step.

    Overvoltage is a critical problem of Thailand’ distribution system. The electrical protection device in the distribution system needs to be able to support this level of overvoltage. In the distribution system connecting the Chachoengsao2 substation and the Bang Khla substation, the overvoltage from a ferro resonance phenomenon affects the surge arrester directly. This research studies the effect of the drop-out fuse connection scheme on the voltage and surge arrester using the RMS/EMT Simulation mode in the DIgSILENT program. Normally, the surge arrester withstands a voltage of 1.9 p.u. of the phase voltage. If the overvoltage in the distribution system is higher than the voltage that the surge arrester can withstand, the surge arrester can be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to study and analyze the drop out fuse insertion pattern that affects the overvoltage in the distribution system to understand the causes of overvoltage problems and their effects on each type of electrical protective equipment.

    This paper describes the combination of discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) and artificial intelligence (AI), which are efficient techniques to identify the type of inrush current, analyze the origin and possible cause on the capacitor bank switching. The experiment setup used to verify the proposed techniques can be detected and classified the transient inrush current from normal capacitor rated current. The discretewavelet transforms are used to detect and classify the inrush current. Then, output from wavelet is acted as input of fuzzy inference system for discriminating the type of switching transient inrush current. The proposed technique shows enhanced performance with a discrimination accuracy of 90.57%. Both simulation study and experimental results are quite satisfactory with providing the high accuracy and reliability which can be developed and implemented into a numerical overcurrent (50/51) and unbalanced current (60C) protection relay for an application of shunt capacitor bank protection in the future.

    In the recent decade, many countries around the globe have been increased the proportion of electrical power generation from renewable energy sources, which results in rising in the penetration level of distributed generation (DG). However, the installation of DG into the distribution system may raise many issues that can impact the distribution system in both the technical and economic aspects. When DG is connected to a distribution system, it can affect the performance of the system and the protective device already installed owing to the change of voltage level, short-circuit level and direction of power flow in the system. For this reason, a protective device may cause the malfunction because the bus impedance of the system is changed; this will result in a change of the current in each bus. This paper aims to study the coordination between the protective relay and the DG installed into the distribution system. The distribution system under investigation is a part of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA). Under this research, DG data that are connected to the PEA distribution is used. The simulations are performed using digital simulation and electrical network calculation program (DIgSILENT).

    Performance and economic evaluation of solar rooftop systems in different regions of Thailand
    (2019-12-01) ;

    Solar rooftop systems in the residential sector have been rapidly increased in the term of installed capacity. There are various factors, such as climate, temperature, and solar radiation, that have effects on solar power generation efficiency. This paper presents a performance assessment of a solar system installed on the rooftop of residence in different regions of Thailand by using PSIM simulation. Solar rooftop installation comparison in different regions is carried out to evaluate the suitable location. In addition, three types of solar panels are used in research: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film. The electrical parameters of real power and energy generated from the systems are investigated and analyzed. Furthermore, the economic evaluation of different solar rooftop system sizes using the monocrystalline module is investigated by using economic indicators of discounted payback period (DPP), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and profitability index (PI). Results show that the central region of Thailand is a suitable place for installing solar rooftop in terms of solar radiation, and the temperature has more solar power generation capacity than the other regions. The monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels can generate maximum power close to each other. All solar rooftop sizes with the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme give the same DPP of 6.1 years, IRR of 15%, and PI of 2.57 which are better than the cases without the FiT scheme. However, a large-scale installation of solar rooftop systems can receive more electrical energy produced from the solar rooftop systems. As a result, the larger solar rooftop system sizes can achieve better economic satisfaction.
