The pa er proposes a computer-rated transmission expansion planning approac% usmg the network simplex technique. A six-bus sample system is used for illustration. Assuming an increased load demand, an optimum network configuration is designed. Software is developed to obtain the optimum network configuration, which uses variable ioad structure and generator cost curves for economic generation. Curves are presented of the diversity factor versus mileage and number of circuits, assuming ten diierent load curves. %I01519 Appllcatlonr of the current atatr apace mod.1 In analyaer of ratumted induction machlnem Levi, E. Electric Power Systems Res., Dec. 1994, 31! (3), 203-216. Main flux saturation in induction machines plays an rmportant role in a number of operating regimes and therefore has to be. accounted for in the process of modelling The current state s ace model of a saturated induction machine has gamed substantial popu lp* anty recently as an excellent tool for transient and steady-state time domain analysis of induction motor drives when the main flux saturation has to be considered. The paper discusses different applications of the model. Q5lO1520 Appllcatlonr of the energy breed rsnrltlvlty method to faat tmnolont control Chang,H. C. and C&en, H. C.

Q5lO1521 Battery barlca Heckeroth, S. Solar Today, Jan.-Feb. 1995, 9, (l), 28-29. The author discusses battery technology which hasn’t changed much over the last century, althou recent legislation ma accelerate the develop ment of new batteries. 8.nhke the sophisticated e1ectronic devices found m today’s electric cars and off-the-grid homes, contemporary batteries represent technologies which, in some cases, arc over 100 years old. Choosing an affordable battery today could be compared to an offer Henry Ford once made: ‘You can have any colour you want, as long as it’s black’. In the case of batteries, you can have any kind you want as long as it’s lead-acid. QSIOl522 BEMS and controlr Harrold, M. et al., Bldg. Serv. CIBSE J., Aug. 1994, 16, (8 27-33.

Power demand in Turkey exceeds 70 billion kWh per year, with electric annually. However, the country’s Mw, with this number expected to per year. To meet this growing demand, lanning studies conducted by Turkey’s Energy Minister call for power in t/ie ZOO3W.l MW range to be added each year after 1996. Now, both the public and private sector are working together to improve ways to meet the energy demand, using indigenous sources as much as possible.

The costs of ceramic fuel cell systems can be reduced by operating at intermediate temperatures (45085OW. Develooments in cenutuc orocessing now allow existing oxide electrol$s to be-used over this temperature range, and so further development acttvities are principally focussed on the fabrication and evaluation of alternative electrode materials. These electrode materials have to be chemically and thermally compatible with the electrolyte components and capable of sustaining hi- current densities at low ovcrpotentrals. These targets can be attained ?or ceramic fuel cells operating at 800°C on air and syngas, and relevant data is presented. In addition progress is reported regardm the development of direct methanol ceramic fuels cells operating at 500”E.

The fast decoupled load flow method has gained wide acce tance. in the power mdustry owing to its simplicity and computational e&*ctency. The critical role of control adjustments designed to srmulate the control strategies of system operation in load flow solutions has long been recognixed. The implementation of standard adjustments, such as area interchange control, bus type switching, transformer-tap/phase-shift control, and switchable shunt control, may lead to oscillations, or even divergence of the fast decoupled load flow solution. In this paper, this problem is circumvented by introducing a voltage angle or magnitude update solution after every set of adjustments.

Q5/01881 Direct ertlmatlon of voltage phaeor, frequency and lta mte of chan$je urlng Newton’8 lteratlve method Terzija, V. and DJLU~C,M. Int. J. Electrical Power & Energy Systems, 1994, 16, (6), 423-428. A new approach to the design of a digital p.lgorithm for direct estimation of voltage phasor, frequency and its rate of change is presented The algorithm derived is based on Newton’s iterative method, very commonly used in the field of unconstrained optimization studies. A five-parameter voltage model was assumed, so the result of the estimation was a parameter vector, consisting of the following unknown ammeters of the voltage signal processed: its DC component, magnitu %e, phase angle, frequency and its rate of change. To demonstrate the performance of the algorithm, off-line computer simulation results are presented. The algorithm showed high measurement accuracy over a wide range of frequency changes.
