Counties Power wishes to have the
phenomenon of ferroresonance modelled for our 11 kV and 22 kV
networks under single phase switching operations, particularly the
livening of lightly loaded transformers, and to understand the
critical lengths of standard cable and combinations of transformer
types which cause ferroresonance to occur.
This project will be undertaken by data and information given from the distribution network operator. The project students will have to engage frequently with the company to get details of their infrastructure elements to undertake this project. The software and other analytical tools will be provided from the Power Systems research laboratory and some at the company’s enterprise.
Undergraduate
The output of this power system engineering assessment is to produce a table for use by designer engineers to specify the point at which ferroresonance occurs, so they can specify when 3 phase switching is required to prevent ferroresonance from occurring.
At least one student must be enrolled in ELECTENG 731.
