• Enhanced Power Capability of Generator Units for Increased Operational Security using NMPC 

      Øyvang, Thomas; Nøland, Jonas Kristiansen; Sharma, Roshan; Hegglid, Gunne John; Lie, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The ever-increasing penetration of intermittent energy sources introduces new demanding operating regimes for the bulk power generation in the power grid. During a worst-case power system disturbance scenario, the generator ...
    • Future Operational Regimes of Bulk Power Generation in The Era of Global Energy Transition: Grid Codes, Challenges and Open Issues 

      Nøland, Jonas Kristiansen; Leandro, Matteo; Nysveen, Arne; Øyvang, Thomas (Chapter, 2020)
      This paper explores the effects of the ongoing energy transition on the classical bulk power generation. The rapid increase in renewable penetration changes the role of grid-connected generators significantly. Large machines ...
    • High current arc erosion on copper electrodes in air 

      Øyvang, Thomas; Fjeld, Elin; Rondeel, Wilhelm; Hagen, Svein Thore (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      An arc fault inside metal enclosed switchgear will cause the pressure to rise and vaporization of electrode material may contribute to the pressure rise. An experimental study of high current arc erosion on copper electrodes ...
    • Power System Stability Using Modelica 

      Øyvang, Thomas; Winkler, Dietmar; Lie, Bernt; Hegglid, Gunne John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-12-09)
      This paper is concerned with power system modeling using the Modelica language in comparison to a traditional simulation tool. Though most common power system simulation tools are computationally efficient and reasonably ...
    • State Estimation of a Thermal Model of Air-cooled Synchronous Generator 

      Pandey, Madhusudhan; Øyvang, Thomas; Lie, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      In this paper, we extend a previous study on a totally enclosed thermal model of a synchronous generator, with temperature state estimation using experimental data. The extension includes a new formulation of the system ...
    • Transient stability of fault ride through capability of a transmission system of a distributed hydropower system 

      Manjula, Edirisinghe V. P. J.; Øyvang, Thomas; Hegglid, Gunne John (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      This paper describes the Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability of generators of a part of the 132 kV high voltage power network in Telemark region, Norway using a simplified power system simulator model. The organization, ...
