dry type rectifier transformer for Railway
Traction Transformers to Boost Railway Performance Electric railway systems rely heavily on traction transformers to convert the electrical power supplied by utilities into a usable form for trains. These transformers are typically housed in traction substations, where they transform high-voltage electricity from the grid to a lower voltage suitable for train operations. The effectiveness of ...

Noor II and Noor III eye cost savings from site integration
With similar timeframes and a shared site, the Noor II and Noor III CSP projects in Morocco’s Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex are expected to gain from multiple synergies during both construction and operations, Badis Derradji, ACWA Power’s managing director for Morocco, told CSP Today. Parallel construction on the two projects is bringing considerable cost benefits, even though they ...

Context–independent centrality measures underestimate the vulnerability of power grids
Power grids vulnerability is a key issue in society. A component failure may trigger cascades of failures across the grid and lead to a large blackout. Within complex network analysis, structural vulnerabilities of power grids have been studied mostly using purely topological approaches, which assumes that flow of power is dictated by shortest paths. However, this fails to capture the real flow ...

Spectral analysis of a real power network
We present a spectral analysis of a significant part of the Italian bulk power system. Spectral analysis applied to graphs is not a new tool, but analyses of the real world, especially of technological networks, currently are lacking. We show the spectral pattern of a high voltage power network, calculate the ratio between the smallest and largest non–zero Laplacian eigenvalue to check its ...

The evolution of the topology of high-voltage electricity networks
The electricity network represents an example of an evolving complex system. The first local networks contained only a few nodes, but within several decades, they have evolved into a highly connected continental system. The growth of these networks was influenced by various factors such as economic, demographic, political and technological developments. In this paper, we analyse the growth of the ...
