Abstract

This research introduces a Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) strategy for determining the optimal placement and sizing of shunt capacitors in radial distribution networks under different load scenarios. The task is structured as a multi-scenario optimization model aimed at reducing active power loss, voltage deviation, and annual compensation expenses, all while adhering to bus voltage and line current limitations. Unlike traditional methods that focus on capacitor allocation for a single operating condition, this approach explicitly accounts for light, normal, and heavy load conditions to ensure solutions are effective throughout daily demand fluctuations. The method is tested on the IEEE 33-bus distribution system and benchmarked against several existing metaheuristic techniques. Findings reveal that GWO consistently provides viable capacitor configurations across all load conditions and offers enhanced technical and economic outcomes. During normal load conditions, the method decreases active power loss from 202.69 kW to 131.83 kW, and under heavy load, it achieves the highest annual net savings of $97,588. In summary, the results suggest that GWO is a reliable and economical solution for reactive power compensation planning in distribution systems with variable loads.

Abstract

The excitation system is a fundamental component in the operation of synchronous generators, functioning to regulate output voltage stability and control reactive power during dynamic load variations. This research was conducted at ULPLTA Sipansihaporas Unit 2, which generates 17 MW using a static excitation system equipped with an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) and 110 V DC battery for initial excitation. The objective of this study is to analyze the excitation process, identify the main components of the excitation system, and evaluate its performance under operational load conditions. Data for this research was obtained directly from field observations and generator operational parameters recorded through the Central Control Room (CCR). The results indicate that the excitation current and voltage remain constant at 520 A and 58 V respectively despite fluctuations in active and reactive power. The system was able to maintain the terminal voltage at 11.4 kV and frequency at 50 Hz ± 0.1, demonstrating stable performance and operational reliability. These findings confirm that the excitation system of Unit 2 performs efficiently in supporting power system stability and reliability within the regional grid.

Abstract

. This study analyzes the transient response of a DC motor to load variations using a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller implemented through MATLAB/Simulink simulation. The DC motor is modeled using a transfer function and tested under three conditions: without controller, with PI controller tuned by PID Tune (PI1 and PI2), and with a step load disturbance applied at seconds. Performance is evaluated based on rise time, peak time, overshoot, settling time, steady-state error, and recovery time. The results show that the system without control is highly sensitive to load changes, exhibiting a large steady-state error and a significant speed drop. The application of PI control improves system stability and accuracy; PI1 reduces the steady-state error to 1.65% (no-load) and 2.71% (with load) with minimal overshoot, while PI2 provides faster response with very low steady-state error (0.28% no-load and 0.27% with load) at the expense of slightly higher overshoot. Overall, PID Tune is effective in generating stable PI parameters, where PI2 achieves the best performance in response speed and accuracy, and PI1 is more favorable in minimizing overshoot.

Abstract

The reliability and safety of industrial electrical power systems have become paramount priorities given the serious threats posed by arc-flash phenomena, which can cause severe injuries, equipment damage, and operational disruptions. This study aims to analyze arc-flash hazards in multi-bus industrial distribution systems using ETAP software based on IEEE 1584-2018 standards. The research methodology employs an experimental simulation design by constructing a distribution system model encompassing bus components, transformers, transmission lines, and protective devices. The analysis focuses on three critical points: Bus 4, Bus 6, and Bus 7. Simulation results indicate that Bus 4 exhibits the highest incident energy of 56.52 cal/cm² with an arc-flash boundary of 5.324 m (NFPA 70E category F), Bus 6 generates 45.90 cal/cm² with a boundary of 4.663 m (category F), and Bus 7 produces 34.40 cal/cm² with a boundary of 3.880 m (category E). The findings underscore the necessity for implementing high-level personal protective equipment, optimizing protection coordination to reduce fault clearing time, and conducting periodic evaluations of protection systems to enhance operator safety and the reliability of industrial distribution systems.

Abstract

This research stems from the need to understand the complex relationship between time-varying electric fields and electromagnetic waves, which often presents difficulties in simulating their propagation in various media. The primary focus is to develop a numerical model capable of predicting the dynamics of this interaction, thus enabling its use in antenna development and radiation evaluation. The applied method includes a Finite-Difference Time-Domain approach, which solves the fundamental equations stepwise in both the time and space domains. The results show that the model is capable of reproducing transverse propagation patterns with a high degree of accuracy and detecting strong mutual induction effects at high frequencies. These findings provide a foundation for improving the performance of electromagnetic devices, minimizing potential interference, and opening up new innovations in the telecommunications sector.

Abstract

This study presents a literature review on the influence of starting methods and stator resistance on slip characteristics, inrush current, and power quality performance of three-phase induction motors. Several starting strategies including direct-on-line (DOL), star–delta, autotransformer, soft-starter, and voltage–frequency (V/f) control using inverter-based drives are reviewed to evaluate their effect on initial current surge and electromagnetic torque development. Findings indicate that conventional starting methods such as DOL produce high inrush current and voltage sag, while soft-starter and inverter-based methods provide smoother torque transition and reduced starting current. Variation of stator resistance demonstrates a proportional effect on slip characteristics and torque, where higher resistance increases slip and reduces starting efficiency. In addition, starting methods may influence power quality parameters such as harmonic distortion, power factor, and voltage drop depending on the applied control strategy. The study concludes that integrating appropriate starting control with stator resistance adjustments can improve dynamic performance of induction motors and reduce power disturbances in industrial systems.

Abstract

Accurate short-term power output forecasting for Photovoltaic (PV) systems is crucial for electricity grid management and energy trading. This study proposes and validates a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, a Deep Learning architecture, for forecasting PV power output 1-hour ahead using historical and real-time weather variables (irradiance, temperature, humidity, and wind speed). The model is compared against the conventional Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models. One year of 15-minute performance data from a 50 kWp rooftop PV system was utilized for model training and testing. Evaluation results demonstrated that the LSTM model significantly outperformed the ARIMA and SVM models in terms of accuracy metrics. The LSTM model achieved a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 5.5% and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 7.8% of the nominal capacity, substantially lower than the comparative models, especially under fluctuating weather conditions (partial cloudiness). The superiority of LSTM lies in its ability to capture the complex temporal dependencies between weather variables and power output, a major challenge for traditional statistical models. This research confirms that the integration of Deep Learning offers a more robust and accurate solution for PV power forecasting, supporting grid operators in achieving higher reliability and operational efficiency.
