  • Publication number: 20220128613
    Abstract: A method for determining a location of a fault on a powerline, comprising: obtaining, using a measuring device at a measurement location on the powerline, time-dependent data of a voltage on the powerline and of a current through the powerline at the measurement location, wherein the time-dependent data is obtained during a time period after fault inception; removing fundamental frequency components from the time-dependent data; calculating, from the time-dependent data, a virtual fault inductance for at least two different potential fault locations, by inputting the time-dependent data into an equivalent circuit model, by means of time-domain calculations on the nonfundamental frequency waveform components; and deriving, from the virtual fault inductance for each of the potential fault locations, a location on the line at which the virtual fault inductance is substantially zero.

  • Patent number: 9577311
    Abstract: The invention relates to an HF resonator comprising a cylindrical cavity made of a dielectric material. An inner face of the cavity has an electrically conductive coating which is divided into a first inner coating and a second inner coating by an electrically insulating gap that encircles a lateral face of the cavity in an annular manner. An outer face of the cavity has an electrically conductive first outer coating and an electrically conductive second outer coating. The first outer coating and the second outer coating are electrically insulated from each other. The HF resonator comprises a device that is provided for applying a high-frequency electric voltage between the first outer coating and the second outer coating.

  • Publication number: 20160061114
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a gas turbine, operating with an integral fuel reactivity measurement concept. In order to fast determine a safe operation range of the gas turbine with respect to flashback and blow-out, the method includes deducing the fuel composition and therefore the fuel reactivity by combined measurements of (n?1) physico-chemical properties of a fuel mixture with n>1 fuel components, for deriving the concentration of one component for each physico-chemical property of the fuel gas mixture or for determining of a ratio of the fuels with known compositions and adjusting at least one operation parameter of the gas turbine at least partially based on the determined property of the fuel gas mixture entering the combustors. With the technical solution of the present invention, by way of detecting fast changes in fuel gas, it is assured that the gas turbine may operate with varieties of fuel gas under optimized performance and in safe operation ranges.

  • Patent number: 9130504
    Abstract: An HF resonator has a cylindrical cavity made of a dielectric material. The cavity includes a first cylindrical portion, a second cylindrical portion, and a dielectric ring that connects the first portion and the second portion. The inner face of the first cylindrical portion has an electrically conductive first inner coating. An inner face of the second cylindrical portion has an electrically conductive second inner coating. An electrically conductive first enclosed coating is arranged between the first cylindrical portion and the dielectric ring. An electrically conductive second enclosed coating is arranged between the second cylindrical portion and the dielectric ring. The first enclosed coating is conductively connected to the first inner coating. The second enclosed coating is conductively connected to the second inner coating. The HF resonator includes a device that is provided for applying a high-frequency electric voltage between the first enclosed coating and the second enclosed coating.
