Summary:
A presentation of the technical analysis of utilizing the Special Protection Systems (SPS) such as (1): a direct load tripping scheme (DLT) during the two major generating units' outages to mitigate the post-transient voltage instability problem and (2): a direct generator tripping scheme (DGT) in the event of double circuits outage to maintain transient stability performance to meet the reliability criteria. Implementation of these SPS can minimize the adverse impact and prevent from further system wide spread cascading outages on the existing system and therefore will maximize system power transfer capability. Discussion of the planning studies and the associated technical advantages that can be achieved by utilizing these two types of special protection systems in the WECC major southwest network hub. 43 persons attended, including the speaker.
Biography:
Mr. Hsu graduated from the National Taipei Institute of Technology in electrical engineering in 1962. He received his MSEE degree from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 1970. During 1968 to 1978, Mr. Hsu was an employee at New York State Electric & Gas Corporation, working primarily with New York Power Pool (NYPP) and Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC) system studies. He has been with Salt River Project since 1978. He is currently a senior principal engineer in the Transmission System Planning Department of Salt River Project. His primary responsibility includes developing plans for the company’s major transmission projects and directing technical studies for power system planning and operations. He is a member of the IEEE Dynamic Stability Performance Subcommittee and has recently made submission to the CIGRE Task Force 38-02-25 on “Modeling of Gas Turbines and Steam Turbines in Combined-Cycle Power Plants”. He has authored and coauthored several papers on power system planning and power system analysis and techniques. Mr. Hsu is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Arizona.
