Polymeric insulators used in overhead transmission systems are subjected to corona discharge occurring from metallic end fittings and line components. This corona discharge affects the performance of insulating material along with other factors like pollutants and electrical stress. Corona penetration on the surface of the material for a longer dur...

Due to their superior electrical, mechanical, and thermal qualities, polymeric (silicon rubber) insulators are frequently chosen in overhead transmission networks. To increase the dependability of the insulators, it is critical to comprehend the distinct features of such materials. The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) test is used in the current st...

Transmission lines are one of the most important components of a Power System. Overhead transmission lines run for hundreds of kilometres to supply power to the cities. At the same time, these lines are very susceptible to damage due to myriad reasons which include natural causes like particle contamination or technical reasons such as insulation f...

The paper discusses the reduction of losses of the distribution network by re-planning. Re-planning of the network is done by the replacement of the line conductor that has highest losses. To further reduce the losses capacitor is placed to the system node. The optimal combination of conductor and location for capacitor placement is to be determine...

The paper discusses about reduction of active power loss in distribution system by power system reconfiguration technique. The Reconfiguration is simple open and close operation of sectionalizing and tie switches that find the combination of switches which is optimal configuration with minimum active power losses for network. Here, the configuratio...

The paper discusses performance improvement of a radial distribution network by re-planning and optimal placement of capacitor. The existing network is planned many years ago with dog conductor in most of the distribution branches. Today the load is continuously increasing, as a result the power loss in many highly loaded branches are increased as...

This paper explains the reduction of real power losses in the distribution network by reconfiguration. Reconfiguration is done by changing the status of the sectionalizing and tie switches provided in the network. The optimal configuration with minimum real power loss is to be determined. To determine the status of the switches optimization techniq...

This paper presents an importance of energy efficiency through energy audit. The energy audit is an essential measure needed to identify the energy consumption of any premise. In this work, we carried out a simple energy audit of G H Patel College of Engineering & Technology (GCET), Vallabh Vidyanagar and its boys hostel. It is found that if the ex...

Power quality is very important consideration for electrical supply system. A number of methods like active-passive filters, dynamic voltage restorer, distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) etc; are used to compensate the power quality problems like harmonics, voltage sag and swell, load balancing and others. This paper presents performance com...

This paper discusses the reduction of real power loss in the distribution system by reconfiguration of the distribution network. Reconfiguration is done by changing the status of the sectionalizing and tie switches. The optimal configuration with minimum real power loss is to be determined. First, the configuration is determined manually and to ove...

Since last decade, educational institutes (EI) are losing the respect and recognition in fulfilling the social responsibility. As a result they are experiencing a lot of difficulties in surviving and achieving goals. So, it is essential that educational institute understands its responsibilities towards the society and act accordingly. This paper e...

Series compensation of a transmission line is necessary as it increases the power transfer capability of a transmission line. Employing series compensation also leads to phenomenon of sub synchronous resonance (ssr) wherein the electrical and mechanical natural frequencies match and exchange energy leading to excitation of natural torsional modes o...

This paper describes various power quality problems in distribution systems and their using application of Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM). Here DSTATCOM uses as shunt active power filter system to mitigate harmonics which is created by nonlinear loads. Generally, a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) has been used for, reactive...

This paper deals with modelling and simulation of SVC (TSC-TCR) in power System with variable load for Efficient Voltage regulation. The effect of reactive power compensation has been analysed with and without SVC. Simulations of the SVC were carried out for A.C. transmission lines in MATLAB Simulink platform. Simulation results prove that the SVC...

This paper deals with hardware implementation of fixed capacitor thyristor controlled reactor (FCTCR) system as well as simulation of FC-TCR in various environments using PsCAD/EMTDC and Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results are presented in open loop and closed loop environment. Laboratory model for FC-TCR is implemented using low cost microcont...

A transmission line needs controllable compensation for power flow control and voltage regulation. This can be achieved by FACTS controllers. Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is a series connected FACTS controller, which is capable of providing reactive power compensation to a power system. The output of an SSSC is series injected volta...

The static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is increasingly popular in power system application. In general, power factor and stability of the utility system can be improved by STATCOM. Specifically, STATCOM can regulate the voltage of connection point and compensate the power factors of equipment serviced by that node. STATCOM is a FACTS controll...
