New energy sources, storage facilities, power electronics devices, advanced and complex control concepts, economic operating doctrines, and cost-optimized construction and production of machines and equipment in power systems adversely affect small-signal stability associated with local oscillations. The objective of the article is to analyze local oscillations and the causes that affect them in order to reduce their negative impact. There are no recognized analyses of the oscillations of modern operating synchronous generators exposed to new conditions in power systems. The basic idea is to perform a numerical analysis of local oscillations of a large number of synchronous generators in the power system. The paper represents the local mode data obtained from a systematic analysis of synchronous generators in the Slovenian power system. Analyzed were 74 synchronous generators of the Slovenian power system, plus many additional synchronous generators for which data were accessible in references. The mathematical models convenient for the study of local oscillations are described first in the paper. Next, the influences of transmission lines, size of the synchronous generators, operating conditions, and control systems were investigated. The paper’s merit is the applicable rules that have been defined to help power plant operators avoid stability-problematic situations. Consequently, boundaries were estimated of the eigenvalues of local modes. Finally, experiments were performed with a laboratory-size synchronous generator to assess the regularity of the numerically obtained conclusions. The obtained results enable the prediction of local oscillations’ frequencies and dampings and will be useful in PSS planning. Full article

A generalized mathematical model of the radial groundwater flow to or from a well is studied using the time-fractional derivative with Mittag-Lefler kernel. Two temporal orders of fractional derivatives which characterize small and large pores are considered in the fractional diffusion–wave equation. New analytical solutions to the distributed-order fractional diffusion–wave equation are determined using the Laplace and Dirichlet-Weber integral transforms. The influence of the fractional parameters on the radial groundwater flow is analyzed by numerical calculations and graphical illustrations are obtained with the software Mathcad. Full article

Arc furnaces can be classified as electricity receivers, which largely affect the quality of electricity in the power system. Voltage fluctuations are the main disturbance generated by arc furnaces. The effects of voltage fluctuations include the phenomenon of flickering light. Apart from voltage fluctuations, arc devices, to a lesser extent, are the source of current and voltage asymmetry, voltage curve distortion, and voltage dips. The main purpose of theoretical considerations is to assess the voltage fluctuations generated by arc furnaces. The article presents a model of an arc device in which the arc has been replaced by a voltage whose value depends on the arc length. It presents also the results of the analysis of measurements of the parameters characterizing voltage fluctuations and flicker indicators. Full article
