Leading national thinking on politics, government & public policy through Open Access research

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Government & Public Policy, based within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences.

Research here is 1st in Scotland for research intensity and spans a wide range of domains. The Department of Politics demonstrates expertise in understanding parties, elections and public opinion, with additional emphases on political economy, institutions and international relations. This international angle is reflected in the European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) which conducts comparative research on public policy. Meanwhile, the Centre for Energy Policy provides independent expertise on energy, working across multidisciplinary groups to shape policy for a low carbon economy.

Abstract

Within substations installed with flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) equipment [such as static var compensator (SVC) or static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs)], transient electromagnetic emissions are generated during the switching of thyristor valves. These emissions may cause malfunction or damage to electronic equipment positioned nearby if appropriate immunity measures are not taken. An electromagnetic-compatibility measurement system was devised, and four SVC substations and one STATCOM substation were selected for electromagnetic-interference (EMI) measurement, analysis, and evaluation. The aim of the research project was to characterize both the conducted and radiated emissions produced by FACTS equipment. The probable impact of emissions from FACTS equipment is discussed. The measurement system used is described together with the measurement methodology. A simple circuit analysis was also carried out on the causes of FACTS-based EMI to provide some insight into the interference mechanism.
