Research tests were performed on a shell-form autotransformer with a more rigorous impulse test methodology than the traditional recurrent surge oscillograph method. These tests included non-standard terminal connections with open terminals, differing from those tests defined by the international st...

A wide-band, frequency-dependent five-terminal model is developed that represents one HVDC transformer unit in the French-English IFA2000 HVDC interconnection. Three such interconnected 1-ph units constitute one 3-ph transformer bank needed in 12-pulse conversion. The model is obtained via admittanc...

Wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS) based on phasor measurement units (PMUs) provide the essential information of an electric power system (EPS) in order to face the challenges of generation, operation, and planning. The PMUs are used to obtain the power system ringdown responses. These signals can ...

Offshore umbilical cables often include both power cables and elements such as metallic tubes and signal cables. It was concluded from a recent failure of stainless tubes that AC corrosion was the failure cause. This paper describes how AC corrosion can lead to tube failure if a puncture exists in t...

White-box detailed transformer models are used by manufacturers for predicting internal overvoltages in transformer windings during the lightning impulse test. One such model is the d-factor model which is based on a lumped-parameter description based on winding discretization with inclusion of loss...

Transformer manufacturers make routine use of white-box detailed transformer models for ensuring that the transformer will pass the lightning impulse test. For use in general simulation studies, the model should additionally be multi-phase and properly reproduce the transformer's input impedance cha...

Transformer terminal equivalents obtained via admittance measurements are suitable for simulating high-frequency transient interaction between the transformer and the network. This paper augments the terminal equivalent approach with a measurement-based voltage transfer function model which permits ...
