    The paper covers the development of the distribution system in the south-west of England from nationalisation up to the present time. Early rural electrification problems and developments are discussed, together with standardisation during the period of rapid load and system growth. The influence on an Area Board of the change in the price of basic fuels, together with the effects of recession and adjustment to a continually changing environment, are included. Current problems of system maintenance and replacement, the use of mechanical aids to productivity and the ability to cope with widespread system emergencies are discussed, following on to future trends highlighting the impact of computer and telecommunications technology and information systems leading to an integrated resource management system. The importance of utilisation and the role of professional engineers in marketing and advice to consumers, in industrial, commercial and domestic applications, is stressed. The paper demonstrates the wide breadth of engineering now covered in an electricity supply Area Board.

    There is much interest in using renewable energy sources, such as wind, wave and solar, to generate electrical energy. Unfortunately, such energy sources are intermittent, and, therefore, conventional sources must still be available to meet the demand during quiescent periods. Hence, the reliability and economic assessment of these novel sources cannot be made using standard capacity-replacement-based methods; instead, energyreplacement methods are required. The paper extends the loss-of-energy-expectation method to evaluate the generation reliability including novel energy sources. These results are then used to calculate the economic benefits of such sources. The approach is illustrated using the IEEE reliability test system. Although the paper concentrates on wind energy sources, the technique and approach are applicable to a generation system containing any type of intermittent energy source.

    An adaptive stabiliser that supplements the excitation control signal of a synchronous machine is presented in this paper. A pole-shifting algorithm that radially shifts the poles towards the origin is described. Also, because of the nonlinear characteristics of the synchronous machine, the algorithm is modified such that the system identification is turned off for a short period following the onset of a severe disturbance. Both simulation and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives a consistently improved performance, particularly during large disturbances.

    The paper considers a novel way of scheduling generations and loads for enhancing stability of overall power systems. Based on a so-called structure-preserving model, an algorithm is proposed for correcting the dynamically insecure system. The algorithm proposed aims at online computer applications. In the event of an emergency, the percentage load to be shed and the busbars which are affected would aid the system operator, as is illustrated by the application of the algorithm on a sample 5-busbar power system. The algorithm aims at minimising deviations from an economically optimum operating point which is the usual choice for alternative operation of power systems.

    The opening of one or two conductors in three-phase circuits supplying an ungrounded transformer produces a steady-state overvoltage due to ferroresonance between the lateral capacitance and the transformer nonlinear inductance. Available methods of determining the conditions under which such an overvoltage may occur are mostly based on experimental studies, and hence are limited in application to systems whose design parameters are similar to those used in the tests. A simple and elegant approach, presented here, reveals that an incorrect choice of overvoltage limit leads to the selection of an unsafe lateral length, resulting in a potentially dangerous high voltage across the connected apparatus and protective equipment. Generalised mathematical equations are developed to determine the safe lateral length as a function of transformer size for the prevention of the overvoltage problem due to open conductors in three-phase systems. The computed results are in good agreement with experimental observations.
