Abstract

Distributed Generation (DG) is playing an important role in the field of electricity generation by being a viable alternative to the Centralized Power Generation (CPG). Although, distributed generation has many advantages, it has some issues in the fields of protection, power control, stability, islanding detection etc. Amongst all the issues, this paper attempts to highlight the issue of voltage stability under sudden changes in loading conditions in a distributed generation systems operating in stand-alone mode. Proper design and tuning of compensators for closed loop operation in DG systems can ensure voltage stability. As the load demand increases, the output voltage of DG usually dips for a short time owing to the weak (smaller capacity) nature of renewable sources, after which it returns to steady state. This fall in the voltage profile could prove to be harmful if the settling time is more. The simulation and hardware results illustrate that, accurate compensator design, is one of the key factor in maintaining the voltage stability in DG system. This paper explores the effect of proper compensator design in maintaining voltage stability of DG.

Abstract

The Renewable energy is important part of power generation system due to diminution of fossils fuel. Energy production from photovoltaic (PV)   is widely accepted as it is clean, available in abundance, & free of cost. This paper deals with modeling of PV array including the effects of temperature and irradiation. The DC-DC converter is used for boosting low voltage of the PV array to high DC voltage.  Since the efficiency of a PV array is around 13% which is low, it is desirable to operate the module at the peak power point to improve the utilization of the PV array. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is used for extracting the maximum power from the solar PV array and transferring that power to the load. To track maximum power point  (MPP) Perturb & Observe  (P & O) algorithm is used which periodically perturbs the array voltage or current and compare PV output power with that of previous perturbation cycle which controls duty  cycle of DC-DC converter. The entire system is simulated in MATLAB /SIMULINK and simulation results are presented.

Abstract

This paper deals with solar power production controlled by Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and Single Input Buck-Boost (SIBB) converter. Since the solar energy is continuously varying, according to the irradiation the FLC generates control pulses to switch on the MOSFET device. To analyze the real time feasibility of this method, the system is simulated by using                    MATLAB/Simulink 2010a. A simulation model of the system is developed with solar Photovoltaic (PV) cell, FLC and SIBB in contradiction of the real world conditions. The results are presented and discussed in this paper.

Abstract

In this paper uses positive, negative and combined switching strategies for three phase ac/ac matrix converter .the author compares these strategies. The performance comparison of these three strategies is made under balanced operation. The simulation of three phase matrix converter feeding a three phase load was accomplished by means of the matlab/simulink software. After the simulation the comparison of the waveforms THD in three switching sequence is done. It must be mentioned that the duty cycle of the whole switches in the converter is according to Venturini switching algorithm

Abstract

Establishment of interconnection links between Process -Tank Loading electrical networks bring some advantages as there are excess capacity at Process which can be utilized in principle to feed Tank Loading. Some result of power system study will be as an input for operational purposes. Concerning Motor Starting Studies and Load Flow Studies and taking into account that the transformer is off load tap changing, the best tapping position for Isolation Transformer is at -5% (primary side).  The best technical power generation configuration is proposed with configuration 2 (two) Process -TEG and 1 (one) Tank Loading-TEG running with 2 (two) interconnection, provided with appropriate load shedding system. Bare in mind that during smooth power transfer from each Process-TEG which requires 3 (three) Process-TEG running in parallel, there is an issue on kA capacity of Process switchgear. Existing setting of protection relay shall be reviewed according to the result of protection coordination study

Abstract

Harmonics are found to have deleterious effects on power system equipments including transformers, capacitor banks, rotating machines, switchgears and protective relays. Transformers, motors and switchgears may experience increased losses and excessive heating. Shunt filters are effective in minimizing voltage distortions. This paper describes the voltage distortions generated by non linear loads. The harmonic specifications such as harmonic factor, characteristic harmonic and non-characteristic harmonic are considered while explaining the paper. ‘MiPower’ software is used to compute the harmonic distortions in a sample power system. Accurate harmonic models are established for a non linear load. To reduce the harmonic voltages impressed upon specific parts of the sample power system, passive filters are installed at two buses. With the implementation of a passive filter at the bus with non linear load, the harmonics are greatly reduced. For the specified power system, at all the buses the total harmonic distortion has been evaluated.

Abstract

In this paper improvement of transient stability by coordination of PSS (Power System Stabilizer) and SVC (Static var Compensator) and increasing inertia of synchronous machine has been observed. Because single method is not sufficient for improving stability. For this purpose a 9 bus multi machine system has been considered. Transient stability improvement has been tested subjected to three phase fault at bus 3 after 0.5 second and fault has been cleared after 1 second. By the use of PSS, SVC and by increasing inertia method for the test system the electromechanical oscillation for generator electrical power has been reduced and the steady state power transfer has been enhanced. In this paper the Inertia of the machine is not so much increased. Because after increasing inertia of the machine rotor will be havier.so that it is kept always within limit as considering its reliability and economy. And field voltage is also kept limited

Abstract

Arc Flash is much different from the conventional shock hazard in the sense that it doesn’t involve direct contact of human beings with the live or energized part. The arcing energy involves high temperature of up to or beyond 20000K. This paper presents a case study of arc flash hazard analysis carried out in older industrial plant and the technological and work procedure changes that can be incorporated to reduce the incident energy level and thus provide a safer environment for the working personnels in plant.
