Abstract
In a particular illustrative embodiment of the present invention, an inter-island power transmission system is disclosed. An electronic box is placed on each end of a medium voltage three phase power cable running between two islands. The electronic box senses an open cable on the three phase cable and switches to direct current power transmission on the remaining two good cables. The direct current power is converted back to three phase power transmission on the receiving end of the direct current power.
Claims17
A system for inter-island power transmission comprising:
- a processor in data communication with a computer readable medium;
- a sensor in data communication with the computer readable medium and the processor;
- a set of three phase alternating current power cables in data communication with the sensor, wherein the sensor senses the power from a power transmission module on the processor in a first island, wherein a current leakage in one of the three phase power cables is sensed by sensor and the power from the power transmission module is adjusted on the one phase to reduce the current leakage.
A system for inter-island power transmission comprising:
- a processor in data communication with a computer readable medium;
- a sensor in data communication with the computer readable medium and the processor;
- a set of three phase alternating current power cables in data communication with the sensor, wherein the sensor senses the power from a power transmission module on the processor in a first island, wherein the sensor measures the power supplied from power transmission module and the processor analyzes the power supplied from power transmission module as sensed by the sensor to determine current leakage on one of a plurality of three phase alternating current power cables.
A method for inter-island power transmission comprising:
- sensing a set of three phase alternating current power cables in data communication with the sensor, wherein the sensor senses the power from a power transmission module on the processor in a first island, wherein the sensor measures the power supplied from power transmission module and the processor analyzes the power supplied from power transmission module as sensed by the sensor.
