Detta examensarbete är en utredning om hur en av Halmstad Energi och Miljö Nät ABs transformatorer påverkas av övertoner. Utredningen handlar till största del om hur mycket transformatorns nominella effekt måste skrivas ner. Examensarbetet visar teorin kring både vad som är övertoner, övertoners effekter på transformatorer samt beräkningsmodeller för effektnedskrivning. De metoder som används och jämförs för nedskrivning av transformatoreffekt är faktor K, som beskrivs i SS-EN 50464-3 och K-faktor, som beskrivs i ANSI/IEEE C57.100. För att på ett verklighetstroget och ingenjörsmässigt sätt beräkna hur de olika standarderna påverkar transformatorn har tre fall testats.   Övertonernas medelinverkan under en månad, utifrån insamlade mätdata. Övertonernas maximala inverkan under en månad, utifrån insamlade mätdata. Övertonernas inverkan om övertonshalterna ökar i framtiden. Resultatet av utredningen visar att transformatorns nominella effekt i fallen där mätdata behandlas bör minskas med ca 6–17% för K-faktor-metoden. För faktor K är de siffrorna ca 2,5–7,5%. Dock visar mätdata från samtliga fallen att belastningsgraden på den testade trans-formatorn är långt under den maximala nedskrivna effekten. Om mängden strömövertoner i framtiden skulle öka är en nedskrivning på 30% av maxeffekten inte orimligt. / This thesis is a study of how one of Halmstad Energi och Miljö Nät AB’s transformers is affected by current harmonics. The study is mostly about how much the transformer's nominal power must be derated. The study shows the theory of both what is harmonics, how harmonics affect transformers and calculation models for derating transformers. The methods used and compared for the transformer power write-down are factor K, which is described in SS-EN 50464-3 and K-factor, which is described in ANSI / IEEE C57.100. In order to realistically investigate how the different standards affect the transformer, three cases have been tested. The mean effect of the harmonics over a month, based on collected measurement data. The maximum effect of the harmonics over a month, based on collected measurement data. The effects of harmonics if the harmonic levels increase in the future. The result of the study shows that in the cases based on measurement data the nominal power of the transformer should be reduced by about 6-17% for the K-factor method. For factor K, the figures are about 2.5-7.5%. However, the measurement data from all cases shows that the load rate of the tested transformer is far below the maximum impaired effect. If the amount of current harmonics would increase in the future, a write-down of 30% of the maximum effect is not unreasonable.

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Entwicklung eines Sensors zur gleichzeitigen Bestimmung von Spannungsintensitätsfaktoren (K-Faktoren) und der Risslage. Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik werden zwei Aufgaben zur Charakterisierung der Risse (Detektierung von Risslage und Größe und Quantifizierung des Beanspruchungszustandes an der Rissspitze) mit Hilfe nur eines Sensors ermöglicht. Es wurde effiziente, kostengünstige und leicht zu applizierende Technik zur experimentellen bruchmechanischen Beanspruchungsanalyse entwickelt. Eine Struktur mit Riss wird großflächig mit einer piezoelektrischen Polyvinylidenfluorid-Folie (PVDF-Folie) beklebt und eine ausreichende Anzahl von Elektroden befindet sich im Bereich des möglichen/vorhandenen Risses. Die an den Elektroden abgegriffenen elektrischen Potentiale bzw. Ladungen sind ein Maß für die Verzerrungen an der Oberfläche des Bauteils und ermöglichen die Berechnung der bruchmechanischen Größen am Riss. Dabei beschränkte man sich auf die Anwendung des Sensorkonzeptes im Rahmen der Scheiben- und Plattentheorie.

The soil erosion is one of the most important factor which brings about modification of landscape. Presently, there is more than half of the agricultural land resources endangered in the Czech Republic, in particular by the water erosion. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate susceptibility of selected soil units to the water erosion by force of erodibility factor (K-factor) which is one of the input parameter of Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). Seven types of soil appearing at agricultural land at the South surroundings of town Brno were selected for the pedological exploration and following determining of the K-factor. On the basis of K-factor figures a map depicting variability of the area from view diversity of susceptibility to the water erosion was made. Soil slaking is closely connected to the soil erosion which characterize the soil from the view of crumbling of soil aggregates and inlay of the soil surface. The susceptibility of the selected soil types to destruction of the soil structure was assessed in this thesis. Further, the task of comparison between present attributes of the soil and the data of Complex exploration agricultural land, which were the base of evaluating dynamic of the development of soil environment, is dealt.

Bauteile mit Rissen können mit Hilfe der Bruchmechanik bewertet werden. Da die Ermittlung der Rissspitzenbeanspruchung nicht immer analytisch gelingt, ist die Nutzung numerischer Verfahren von Vorteil. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Bruchmechanik wird an zwei Beispielen die Vorgehensweise diskutiert.

The excellent electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide interesting opportunities to realize new types of strain gauges. However, there are still challenges for the further development of CNT film strain gauges, for instance the lack of design rules, the homogeneity, stability and reproducibility of CNT films. This thesis aims to address these issues from two sides: simulation and experiment. Monte Carlo simulations show that both the sheet resistance and gauge factor of CNT films are determined essentially by the two-dimensional exclude area of CNTs. It was shown, for the first time, that the variation of the CNT film gauge factor follows the percolation scaling law. The sheet resistance and gauge factor both have a power-law divergence when approaching the percolation threshold. The standard deviation of film resistances, however, also increases correspondingly. These findings of simulations provide a general guide to the tailoring of material property of CNT films in strain sensing applications: a compromise should be made between the reproducibility, conductivity and sensitivity of CNT films depending on application purposes. From the experimental side, the processing parameters for the preparation of CNT dispersions were first investigated and optimized. The reproducibility of the film resistance is significantly improved by selecting a suitable sonication time. In strain measurements it was found that for most CNT films the film resistance responses nonlinearly to the applied strain. The dependence of the film resistance on the strain can be roughly divided into two regions with nearly linear behavior respectively. The gauge factor varies with the quality of CNTs and the depositing method. A gauge factor up to 8 was achieved in the high strain region. The nonlinear response behavior was found in simulations when the CNT waviness is properly taken into account. To achieve a high gauge factor and simultaneously retain the high conductivity and reproducibility, good-quality MWCNTs were integrated in polyethylene oxide (PEO). A high gauge factor up to 10 was achieved for the composite film with CNT weight fraction of 2.5%. The resistance and gauge factor can be tuned by changing the MWCNT weight fraction with respect to PEO. A careful comparison of simulation and experiment results show that a good qualitative agreement can be achieved between them in many respects.
