Vol 8, No 2 (2023): Power System Stability and Control

Authors:Rajendra Prasad, Vishal Saxsena

AbstractPower system stability is the ability of a power system to remain in a state of operating equilibrium under normal operating conditions and to regain an acceptable state of equilibrium after being subjected to a disturbance. Stability is important for ensuring the reliable operation of power systems, as a loss of stability can lead to cascading outages and widespread blackouts. There are two main types of power system stability: rotor angle stability and voltage stability. Rotor angle stability is the ability of the synchronous machines in a power system to remain in synchronism with each other. Voltage stability is the ability of the voltages in a power system to remain within acceptable limits. The stability of a power system can be affected by a number of factors, including the network topology, the load level, the operating reserves, and the control system. Stability analysis can be performed using a variety of methods, including linearized stability analysis, nonlinear stability analysis, and simulation. There are a number of control schemes that can be used to improve power system stability, including automatic voltage control (AVC), automatic generation control (AGC), synchronous condensers, and power system stabilizers (PSS). By understanding the factors that affect power system stability and by using appropriate control schemes, it is possible to design and operate power systems that are reliable and secure.

Vol 8, No 2 (2023): High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission

Authors:Jeevan Tyagi, Kriyansh Pathak, Dr. B. R Verma

Abstract:High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission is a technology that uses direct current (DC) to transmit electricity over long distances. HVDC transmission has several advantages over traditional alternating current (AC) transmission, including reduced power losses, increased transmission capacity, improved reliability, and ease of interconnection. The principle of HVDC transmission is to convert AC power to DC at the sending end of the transmission line, and then convert the DC back to AC at the receiving end. The conversion is done using power electronics devices called converters. There are two main types of HVDC converters: line-commutated converters (LCC) and voltage-sourced converters (VSC). LCC converters are the most common type of HVDC converter. They are relatively simple and reliable, but they have lower efficiency than other types of converters. VSC converters are more complex and expensive than LCC converters, but they have higher efficiency and can be used to control the power flow on the transmission line.

Authors:- Rayees AhmadWani,Baljit Kaur

Abstract :-Nuclear reactors' benefits and expenses, and other their associated impacts, are determined by their technology and the amount of electricity they create. Most nations, especially emerging ones where electricity output is expected to grow significantly, do not disclose plant-level generating statistics. The Global Power Plant Database uses this technical information to estimate the yearly energy generation of power plants. Breeze, light, power (hydro), and gas energy plants are examples of diverse fuel sources. We employ different estimating models. Statistical regression and machine learning techniques are used in the process. Plant-level parameters, as with the size of the facility and the liquefied petroleum gas used, as well as Variables at the regional scale, such as the total performance per kilo of installed power, are explanatory variables. We demonstrate this. For wind, solar, and hydro plants, fuel-specific models can deliver more accurate results. Natural gas plant estimates are also improving, although the margin of error remains considerable, especially for smaller facilities

All of these second-order transfer functions can be used to accurately model all of the current loops based on reference transformations (such as DQ-ABC and Phase Locked Loop). By using the second order system, the current control model will be compared to the equivalent closed loop current control transfer function. This method makes calculating the PI regulator control gain simple. When comparing the output of the current control loop with its equivalent current control transfer function, use the unitary step response. The inverse-Laplace transform will then be applied, with the natural frequency dictating the dynamic behaviour into the exponential term.

Vol 7, No 1 (2022): Using the Grid to Produce Wind Power

Authors: Supriya Gawai, Smita Khedkar, Kedar Bavaskar

Abstract: Power has become increasingly important for everyone as a result of the rise of industries and an ever-increasing global population, and as a result, energy consumption has increased dramatically in recent decades. The unease with which we used traditional resources alerted us and drove us to utilise alternative resources. In terms of electricity output, wind is outperforming other non-conventional energy sources. Despite the fact that wind energy is still a relatively new source of electricity, it has benefited enormously from ongoing technological advances in grid integration, electrical machines, power converters, and control capability. The main focus in the modelling of DFIG-based wind power generating schemes is DFIG modelling. The input power to the propeller is expected to be variable when modelling a wind turbine rotor. The DFIG created model in this section is simply a basic and realistic reduced model that is utilised to do minor signal analysis. The output of the Wind Turbine is almost similar to the output power of the DFIG when the regulator is used, resulting in improved and satisfying small signal stability of the power system.

Vol 7, No 1 (2022): A Study on Wind Turbines with Solar Power and Vertical Axis to Power Highways

Authors: Prof. Dattaraj Indulkar, Krishna Dhungana , Sunil Gupta 

Abstract: To meet the need for electricity, renewable energy generation is rapidly expanding. Renewable energy sources include solar and wind. Solar energy is available at the start of the day, and wind energy is at its peak on the highway due to vehicle speed. This paper's rationale helps to the global trend toward renewable energy. The utilisation of air on a highway divider with the help of a vertical axis wind turbine is the subject of this research. Due to its speed, the vehicle passing on the highway produces a significant amount of air. This air impacts the blade of a vertical axis wind turbine tangentially, causing the rotor to rotate in just one direction. The solar system is used to generate electricity and is also designed to direct vehicle exhaust into the turbine. To create energy, the vertical axis wind turbine's shaft is connected to the generator with the gear mechanism. A battery stores the electrical output of the vertical axis turbine and the solar system. This stored energy can be used for street lighting, toll gates, and other applications. The paper shows the hardware implementation of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with a solar panel.

Vol 6, No 3 (2021): Architecture for an Efficient Memory Built in Self-Test

Authors: Nisha O. S, Dr. K. Siva Sankar

Abstract: Today’s submicron VLSI technology has been emerged as integration of many VLSI ICs into a single Si Chip called System-on-Chip (SoC). The SoC architecture normally contains multiple processors along with either separate or centralized memory blocks as its core elements as well as many noncore elements. Embedded RAMs are those whose address, data, and read/write controls cannot be directly controlled or observed through the chip’s 1/0 pins. Testing these memories, which are incorporated on a large percentage of VLSI devices are harder just because of the lack of controllability of its inputs and observe ability of its outputs. Testing such RAMs is the main objective of this paper. It is challenging to test embedded RAMs, and hence we will discuss techniques - design for testability (DFT) and built-in self-test (BIST), which help in improving the testability of these RAMs.

Author: Rukshar Begum, Mudasir Ahmad Wani

Abstract: Electricity consumption had risen at such a quick rate in tandem with the country's progress to reach its status as an industrial country. The quality of electrical power plays an essential role in a distribution system because of the high use of electrical energy. There will be several issues with the distribution system's efficiency and operation of electrical equipment. As a result of the existence of harmonics in the distribution system, the entire system does not perform efficiently. Harmonics is one of the illnesses that leads to poor power quality. This disruption causes electrical devices to overheat and become inoperable. As a result, the goal of this study is to use MATLAB/SIMULINK to design and construct a three phase shunt active power filter for harmonics reduction in industrial applications.

Vol 6, No 3 (2021): Use of Solar Photovoltaic Penetration for Assessing Line Differential Protective Relaying

Authors: Prof. Jayant Hande, Nikhil Waghmare, Abhay Shindekar, Akshay Narad

Abstract: Power System Protection is critical in an electrical power system because it reduces power outages for consumers while also preventing damage to electrical equipment. Renewable energy (RE) penetration in the power grid has recently aided in supporting and meeting the growing demand for electricity from customers. However, the addition of renewable energy (RE), such as solar photovoltaic (PV), will raise the fault level and cause reverse power flow, compromising power system protection.

 

When the power system is without and with solar PV penetration, this article focuses on analysing the dependability of differential protection relays during steady state, internal and external faults circumstances. The IEEE 39 bus test system will be used to model steady state and three-phase symmetrical line faults using Power System Simulation for Engineering (PSS®E) software.

Vol 6, No 3 (2021): Load Frequency Control with 2-D of PID Design for Power System Algorithm with MFO

Authors: Animesh Mukherjee, Momita Roy

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to investigate load frequency management in a two-area system. In this study, two locations have been investigated in which non-reheated kind of turbines are employed in both regions and whose secondary loop includes a new controller called 2 degree-of-freedom PID (2-DOF-PID). The newest meta heuristic method, also known as the Moth flame optimization algorithm (MFO), has been used to optimise the parameters of this controller in order to minimise the variation in frequency of area and tie-line power, respectively. The same procedures are followed with the PID and Integral controllers, whose settings are likewise tuned by MFO. A comparison of the results of these and the 2-DOF-PID controller demonstrates its advantage over the other controller for minimising the deviation that occurs in the frequency of the area as well as the tie-line power.

Author: Shreya Suresh Dhamake

Abstract: An electric light is a device that produces visible light from electric power. It is the most common form of artificial lighting and is essential to modern society, providing interior lighting for buildings and exterior light for evening and night time activities. In technical usage, a replaceable component that produces light from electricity is called a lamp. Lamps are commonly called light bulbs; for example, the incandescent light bulb. Lamps usually have a base made of ceramic, metal, glass, or plastic, which secures the lamp in the socket of a light fixture. The electrical connection to the socket may be made with a screw-thread base, two metal pins, two metal caps or a bayonet cap.

 

The three main categories of electric lights are incandescent lamps, which produce light by a filament heated white-hot by electric current, gas-discharge lamps, which produce light by means of an electric arc through a gas, such as fluorescent lamps, and LED lamps, which produce light by a flow of electrons across a band gap in a semiconductor.

Vol 6, No 1 (2021): Integration of Block Chain and Digital Grid Routers for Load Balancing and Bidirectional Power Flow in Microgrid

Authors: Prakash Kerur, Dr. R.L. Chakrasali

Abstract: In response to the situation of increasing energy demand day by day it is necessary to fulfill the requirement of consumers. The power generated by the base load plants is not sufficient to meet the demand. Therefore it is necessary to introduce the distributed generation to meet the demand. The government is promoting renewable energies such as solar or wind power plant installation because of green energy. The renewable-energy penetration and controlling is challenging task in centralized power distribution.  To find the solution to this problem is essential. To overcome this problem a smart grid or micro grid concept was introduced which is one of the principal concerns of the scientific community is the energy transition and energy efficiency.  In micro grid the power flow and exchange is done with group of people in a particular areas. It would optimize the energy consumption by setting consumption patterns, adapted to a specific situation, taking into account different parameters like the price, the user preferences, or the parameters of the appliances of the house. Thus a numerical management is needed to load balancing and distribution of energy. A block chain is a distributed, decentralized transaction ledger, which is owned, maintained and updated by each user. It carries peer-to-peer energy exchanges among citizens of a same microgrid, without a central control body, based on smart contracts. The digital grid router solves the problems of different renewable source integration in smart grid. . The Digital Grid divides power systems when frequency is synchronized into various sizes. Each small grid is connected asynchronously with a digital grid router (DGR). This paper focuses on load balancing with peer to peer transactions in microgrid using block chain and bidirectional power flow using digital grid routers.

Author: Dr. Chandra Sekhar Dash

Abstract: The modern society today is hard hit by the problem of sustainability & environmental issues such as global warming, climate change, energy depletion and other ecological concerns that have led to the emergence of the role of renewable energy and green technologies, i.e., a technology that does not emit toxic or greenhouse gasses and keeps the environment, neat, clean and green. It is believed that sustainable development will result in a sustainable economy with changes that transients the society and bringing in stability & resilience that affects or produces results beyond itself. Technical advancements in science mark human superiority and creativity, yet they are disruptive of the existing production process methods or materials that have lost their essence with the passage of time, need, and social requirements. Sustainability means many things: conservation of energy resources, maintaining continuous energy supply for human amenities (meeting a continuous supply of energy that never exhaust) and that too, without depletion of the fossil fuel or natural resource that are the inherent right of our future generation, curtailing the environmental degradation, adopting Green and clean technologies that never emit CO2, ozone-depleting or Greenhouse Gases causing global warming and climate change. Zero-waste, cradle-to-cradle production, zero-emission zero defect articles, and finally, innovation that squares up with present-day society's needs without disturbing the ecosystems or nature's service. This paper explores the extent to which our scientists have been able to capture the nerve, generating enough energy that would revert the damage caused to the environment till date by the erstwhile methods of production. The present work uses a methodology that is based on secondary data collected from journals and periodicals, books published/unpublished, UN and World Bank report, TEDx Talks, epoch-making discoveries and innovations, internet and policy documents of developed and developing nations. The study's findings indicated that there is no area in which innovations have not been made in renewable energy in subverting the environmental hazards in as much as generation electric power via Hydro, solar, wind, tidal, biomass, biogas. However, among all of them, the geothermal option is the most economical, cost-effective, carbon-free with unlimited future potential capacity.

Authors: Prakash Kerur, Dr. R. L. Chakrasali

Abstract: Power system operation aims to meet the electricity demand at all the locations within power network as economically and reliably as possible. Conventional power system planning operation is based on centralized utility control. Optimal planning of DG for a distribution system is a crucial factor to achieve the benefits. DG may degrade the performance of the distribution system, if not planned properly. Therefore, in this paper, attempts have been made to develop some methodologies, which will be helpful for integrating DG into the existing electric power distribution systems and maximum power flow from source to destination with max-flow min-cut algorithm.

Outflow from source node is equal to inflow in sink node indicates maximum flow in the network with minimum capacity of edges. The maxflow problem and min-cut problem can be formulated by Network optimization is a special type of linear programming model.

Vol 2, No 3 (2017): An Innovative Unique Power Converter Strategy for Distributed Generation System

Authors: Kalahasthi Rajesh Babu1 , Issarapu Reveathi2

Abstract: Numerous advantages of a BLDC motor over a brushed DC motor in absence of the mechanical commutators which allows higher speeds. Having individual converters has advantages like more flexible individual control and simpler design but does not encourage functionality merging. As a result, power converter structure has been introduced as an alternative in high power and medium voltage situations using DG system. Distributed Generation (DG) has become increasingly more accepted since the demand for reliable and secure power systems with high power quality increases. This project presents the Distribution Generation system. The power flow is determined by controlling the amplitude and angle of displacement between the voltage produced by the DG and the grid voltage, i.e., the control variable is the same before and after the islanding mode occurs. The voltage control provides the capability to supply different kinds of loads to the DG system, such as linear, nonlinear, and motor, balanced, or unbalanced, even if the DG operates in the islanding mode. These kinds of controls are suitable for DGs operating in parallel as each of the DGs are connected to the grid through a distribution transformer (DT). Conversely, the other approaches introduced more effective. The operation of a distributed generation (DG) system driven by a dc-dc step-up converter and a dc-ac voltage source inverter (VSI) interfaced to BLDC drive system. The simulation results are presented by using Matlab/simulink software.

Authors: M.S.Chavan, P.J. Yadav

Abstract: AVR plays a vital role in generating station. To maintain voltage stability of the generator the terminal voltage should remain constant. In a large interconnected system manual regulation is not feasible and therefore automatic generation and voltage regulation equipment is installed at each generator. So, Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) used to maintain a constant voltage level and it uses an electromechanical mechanism or electronic components depending on its design. The regulators must be designed in such a way that it is insensitive to very small changes; if this is not happened then the system may prone to hunting and result in excessive wear and tear in machine and control equipment. This paper consists of simulation and hardware implementation of Ant Colony Optimization algorithm based PID controller design for automatic voltage regulator. The performance of AVR system with conventional fixed gain PID controller and ACO algorithm based PID is compared in Matlab environment by measuring the settling time, peak overshoot and oscillation. The proposed system is also analyzed by hardware implementation.

Author: Ravi Joshi, Deependra Choudhary.

Abstract: Before Michael Faraday had discovered his famous law of electromagnetic induction, battery were the only source of electric power. After that, DC generator was developed, butit could produce only a few hundred volts of electric power and naturally this low voltage power could not transmitted efficiently to a large distance. In the latter half of eighteen centuries, AC electric power generation, transmission and distribution came into the picture. In an AC system, it became possible to step up voltage of electric power to desire level for efficient transmission to a long distance. After that 3-phase induction motor was developed which was much simpler in construction. Generation, transmission and distribution of AC power were much easier than DC power; hence very fast AC power system became the most popular means of electric power. In this paper we will discuss how fast AC power system became the popular means of electric power.
