High-voltage Pulsed Power Engineering, Fall 2018 Closing Switches Fall, 2018 Kyoung-Jae Chung Department of Nuclear Engineering Seoul National University Switch fundamentals The importance of switches in pulsed power systems In high power pulse applications, switches capable of handling tera-watt power and having jitter time in the nanosecond range are frequently needed. The rise time, shape, and amplitude of the generator output pulse depend strongly on the properties of the switches. The basic principle of switching is simple: at a proper time, change the property of the switch medium from that of an insulator to that of a conductor or the reverse. To achieve this effectively and precisely, however, is rather a complex and difficult task. It involves not only the parameters of the switch and circuit but also many physical and chemical processes. 2/44 High-voltage Pulsed Power Engineering, Fall 2018 Switch fundamentals Design of a switch requires knowledge in many areas. The property of the medium employed between the switch electrodes is the most important factor that determines the performance of the switch. Classification Medium: gas switch, liquid switch, solid switch Triggering mechanism: self-breakdown or externally triggered switches Charging mode: Statically charged or pulse charged switches No. of conducting channels: single channel or multi-channel switches Discharge property: volume discharge or surface discharge switches 3/44 High-voltage Pulsed Power Engineering, Fall 2018 Characteristics of typical switches A. Trigger pulse: a fast pulse supplied externally to initiate the action of switching, the nature of which may be voltage, laser beam or charged particle beam. -

Experimental tests concerning busbars are very expensive and difficult to be executed. Therefore, the great advantage for setting the valid parameters for busbar systems components are analytical calculations supported by FEM (finite element method) modelling and analysis. Determining electrodynamic forces in busbar systems tends to be crucial with regard to subsidiary, dependent parameters. In this paper analytical calculations of asymmetric three-phase busbar system were carried out. Key parameters, like maximal electrodynamic forces value, mechanical strength value, busbar natural frequency, etc., were calculated. Calculations were conducted with an ANSYS model of a parallel asymmetric busbar system, which confirmed the obtained results. Moreover, showing that a model based on finite elements tends to be very helpful in the selection of unusually-shaped busbars in various electrotechnical applications, like switchgear. -

One pulsed power technology studied utilizes high explosives to generate electromagnetic energy while one application studied uses electromagnetic energy to disrupt fast-moving metal jets created using high explosives. The pulsed power source studied is a helical explosively driven magnetic flux compression generator. This kind of device converts the chemically stored energy in a high explosive into electromagnetic energy in the form of a powerful current pulse. Two generators were studied in order to investigate their performance and to understand their operation. An electrical circuit model was used to simulate the electrical behaviour and a hydrocode was used to simulate the explosion and mechanical deformation of the device. The experimental results obtained were peak currents of 269 kA and 436 kA corresponding to current amplification ratios of 47 and 39. -
Hydroelectric Power Generation and Distribution Planning Under Supply Uncertainty
Hydroelectric Power Generation and Distribution Planning Under Supply Uncertainty by Govind R. Joshi A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Engineering Colorado State University-Pueblo In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science Completed on December 16th, 2016 ABSTRACT Govind Raj Joshi for the degree of Master of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering presented on December 16th, 2016. Hydroelectric Power Generation and Distribution Planning Under Supply Uncertainty Abstract approved: ------------------------------------------- Ebisa D. Wollega, Ph.D. Hydroelectric power system is a renewable energy type that generates electrical energy from water flow. An integrated hydroelectric power system may consist of water storage dams and run-of-river (ROR) hydroelectric power projects. Storage dams store water and regulate water flow so that power from the storage projects dispatch can follow a pre-planned schedule. Power supply from ROR projects is uncertain because water flow in the river, and hence power production capacity, is largely determined by uncertain weather factors. Hydroelectric generator dispatch problem has been widely studied in the literature; however, very little work is available to address the dispatch and distribution planning of an integrated ROR and storage hydroelectric projects. This thesis combines both ROR projects and storage dam projects and formulate the problem as a stochastic program to minimize the cost of energy generation and distribution under ROR projects supply uncertainty. Input data from the Integrated Nepal Power System are used to solve the problem and run experiments. Numerical comparisons of stochastic solution (SS), expected value (EEV), and wait and see (W&S) solutions are made. These solution approaches give economic dispatch of generators and optimal distribution plan that the power system operators (PSO) can use to coordinate, control, and monitor the power generation and distribution system. -

Hydropower Vision Chapter 2
Chapter 2: State of Hydropower in the United States Hydropower A New Chapter for America’s Renewable Electricity Source STATE OF HYDROPOWER 2 in the United States Photo from 65681751. Illustration by Joshua Bauer/NREL 70 2 Overview OVERVIEW Hydropower is the primary source of renewable energy generation in the United States, delivering 48% of total renewable electricity sector generation in 2015, and roughly 62% of total cumulative renewable generation over the past decade (2006-2015) [1]. The approximately 101 gigawatts1 (GW) of hydropower capacity installed as of 2014 included ~79.6 GW from hydropower gener ation2 facilities and ~21.6 GW from pumped storage hydro- power3 facilities [2]. Reliable generation and grid support services from hydropower help meet the nation’s require- ments for the electrical bulk power system, and hydro- power pro vides a long-term, renewable source of energy that is essentially free of hazardous waste and is low in carbon emissions. Hydropower also supports national energy security, as its fuel supply is largely domestic. % 48 HYDROPOWER PUMPED CAPACITY STORAGE OF TOTAL CAPACITY RENEWABLE GENERATION Hydropower is the largest renewable energy resource in the United States and has been an esta blished, reliable contributor to the nation’s supply of elec tricity for more than 100 years. In the early 20th century, the environmental conse- quences of hydropower were not well characterized, in part because national priorities were focused on economic development and national defense. By the latter half of the 20th century, however, there was greater awareness of the environmental impacts of dams, reservoirs, and hydropower operations. -
