The analysis of the frequency modulated synchronous machine is alternator torque measurements are worth mentioning. This spectral analysis is done for the intervals 0 to 1 sec, 1 to 2 sec, 2 to 3 simplified to the isotropic rotor case. This theory allows us to determine an equivalent mechanical impedance of the synchronous sec and 3 to 4 sec after fault inception. The main experimental results are the poor torsional eigenvalues machine, i.e., the complex ratio of the damping torque, with respect content of the output power spectrum and a good evaluation of the to the relative velocity, essentially depending on the following several modes of damping after fault clearing, to be compared with electrical parameters: .external network Thévenin equivalent circuit parameters those experienced after load rejection or after synchronization .subsynchronous machine resistance and inductance starting from no load.

This paper is the continuation of the companion paper [1] "Part I" and reflects results of post-factum studies. Main topics presented in Part II are: .analysis of the behavior of a frequency modulated synchronous machine acting as damping source at the torsional
eigenvalues (frequencies) .comparison between computed quantities
and measured electrical
.attempt at estimation of the practical applicability of analytical
modeling system. The example energy source investigated in this paper is the direct conversion of solar energy to electricity, photovoltaics, distributed throughout the residential sector. Besides demonstrating the use of, and reporting results from, this set of models, the paper has another primary purpose: the description of a method for estimating rates for the buyback of surplus electricity from the photovoltaic resi¬ dences. While rates for sale to customers are estimated on the basis oftraditional regulatory practice, buyback rates are estimated on the basis of rules of promulgated under the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act (PURPA).

These, combined with taxes and overhead costs, are used to generate two sets of rates. The first set of rates is based upon traditional regulatory practice, allowing a reasonable rate of return on the utility's Weather undepreciated capital stock. The second rate is based upon the Data utility's expansion costs, or marginal costs. Utility Pcnetratton Photovoltaic The worth of photovoltaics has two components.

equipment. Throughout the past 15 year record of manufacturing of SFg gas equipment, gas analysis has been made by the authors on a number of apparatus in operation as well as simulation tests of various conditions. The results showed that gas analysis is effective in the diagnosis of faults in SFß gas equipment. SFß Gas Analysis Methods The SFg gas analysis methods used were gas Chromatograph, hydrolyzable fluoride, acidity and mineral oil. The gas components detected by the gas Chromatograph were air (IVI2 + 0_), CF4, CO2, SOF2 and SO2. The gas sampling method and the relationship between compo¬ nents of SFß gas and their analysis methods are also described in this
section.
Examples of Gas Analysis on Simulation Tests of Internal Conditions It is very important to see what happens if any unusual situation occurs in these apparatus and if such can be detected by the gas analysis method. Fig. 1 shows the relationship between the vessel volume and the decomposed gas concentration when an arc is generated in the vessel. Fig. 2 shows the calculated example of decomposed gas con¬ centration at partial discharge in vessels of different capacity. De¬ composed gas was also detected in a simulation test of overheat of copper wire. It is evident that internal short circuit, partial discharge or overheat in the vessel can be detected by such highly sensitive mea¬ suring methods of decomposed gas as hydrolyzable fluoride or acidity.

circuit breakers and the components of SFg gas taken from them. The circuit breakers subjected to gas analysis are still operated at present under normal conditions in electrical power companies and industrial
companies.
