    Abstract: Assessment of the dynamic response of generators, within a power system, when subjected to various disturbances, has been a major challenge to power system researchers and engineers for the past decades. This paper investigates the dynamic response of the generators in the Nigeria 330-kV grid network when a balanced 3-phase fault is applied with th... Show More

    Abstract: Toshka is a large water pumping stations in Egypt. This station contains 21 units (18+3 Extentions) each 12MW. At a full capacity the full power consumptions can reach 200MW. The electrical feeding system for the stations contains; transformer, substations and Overhead transmission line (its long 300km), so the operations of the stations causes som... Show More

    Abstract: In this research, a normal winding and simulated defective winding were created to examine the correlation between partial discharges, ozone concentration, and ultraviolet radiation in high-voltage motor stator windings. In the simulated defective winding, the semiconductor layer was removed so that discharges could occur easily between the winding... Show More
