Operational experience of 800 kV series capacitors
In Brazil, series compensation has been used since 1989 in the Furnas 765 kV AC power transmission to safeguard stable transmission of large amounts of hydro power. Today, a total of nine series capacitors are in operation, eight of which were supplied by ABB, six at Ivaipora and two at Itabera, the substations located about one third from each end of the tie. Ratings vary between 1017 MVAr (Ivaipora) and 1242 MVAr (Itabera). When introduced, the series capacitors were the first in the world to be installed at 765 kV. The paper gives a description of the series capacitor banks and comment on the operational performance of the banks
Investigation on the 750kV fixed series compensation scheme of Hexi wind power transmission corridor in northwest China grid
According to the large scale wind power construction plan of JiuQuan area Gansu Province China, there are two 750kV transmission lines with four transformer stations planned for sending wind power to load center, which is over 1000km, called Hexi transmission corridor. In the interest of improving the transmission capability, fixed series compensation(FSC) is adopted in Hexi corridor. The FSC scheme was analyzed from the aspects of locations, compensation degree, etc… Suggestions for the FSC scheme were provided finally.
Women and fascism
This seminal book challenges the common assumption that fascism is a misogynist movement which has tended to exclude women. Using examples from Germany, Italy and France, Durham analyses the rise of women in fascist organizations across Europe from the early twenties to the present. Unusually, however, the author focuses on British fascism and in doing so he offers valuable new perspectives on fascist attitudes to women. Offering interesting examples of women training in armed combat, and more generally as voters and members of fascist organizations, he highlights women's relationship to fascist policies on birth rate, abortion and eugenics.
