Control Strategy of Induction Generator Connected to Grid.

  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
There has been an increasing use of induction generator particularly in wind power applications. In generator operation, a prime mover (turbine, engine) drives the rotor above the synchronous speed. Stator flux still induces currents in the rotor, but since the opposing rotor flux is now cutting the stator coils, active current is produced in stator coils, and motor now operates as a generator, and sends power back to the electrical grid. In this project, squirrel cage induction generator is used due to its simple and robustness and generator side field oriented control strategy is applied. And grid side unit vector template control strategy will apply in future.

Voltage Profile Improvement Using TCSC for IEEE-6 Bus System Using Trial And Error Method
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
This research Paper contains the voltage profile improvement in transmission line to implement FACTS device like TCSC and it's need to maintain the Reactive power and voltage stability. Voltage stability is the ability of a power system to maintain steady state voltages at all buses in the system under normal operating conditions and after being subjected to a disturbance. A system enter, a state of voltage instability when the disturbance increase in load demand or change in system condition causes a progressive and uncontrollable drop in voltage. The main factor causing instability is the ability of the power system in ability of the power system to meet the demand of reactive power. The angle stability it is a balance between reactive & active power that is mechanical input of the turbine or mechanical input from the turbine must be equal to electrical output from the generator, it is a real power balance. But for voltage stability we required the balance between the reactive power that is reactive power generated and the reactive power consumed in a system and in if in case the system is unable to maintain this balance then the problem of voltage instability occurs.In this paper IEEE-6 Bus system simulation has been done in PSAT Tools.

Maximum Power Point Tracking Methods for Wind and Solar Conversion Systems for Standalone Generation PSIM based Perturb and Observe Method
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
Among all the renewable resources, wind and solar are the most popular resources due to its ease of availability and its ease conversion into electricity. Each renewable resource uses DC/DC boost converter separately with MPPT control to generate power. To increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) system and wind energy system, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology is employed. Perturb and Observe MPPT technique is used for PV system in which dc voltage is used as perturbation variable. While in wind energy system, perturbation variable as a dc current is used in modified perturb and observe MPPT algorithm. Modified perturb and observe algorithm is stable and tracks fast for sudden wind speed change conditions. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique used with boost converter extracts maximum power from the source when it is available. Simulation of both the renewable energy sources is carried out separately in PSIM 9.0 with different MPPT types of techniques.

Energy Audit & Management of ITMU -Vadodara
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
One of the major problems in the world is Energy Crises. There is now a universal recognition of the fact that new technologies and much greater use of some that already exist provide the most hopeful projections for the future. The opportunities lie in the use of standing renewable energy technologies and greater efforts at energy efficiency. In organizations like Engineering Colleges, the top operating expenditure is often found to be electrical energy. In most assessments of the manageability of the cost or potential cost savings in the above component, would invariably appear as a top priority, and thus energy Audit. Energy constitutes a strategic area for cost reduction. A well done energy audit will always help owners to understand more about the ways energy is used in their organizations, and help to identify areas where waste can occur and where possibility of improvement exists. The energy audit would give a positive orientation to the energy cost reduction, preventive maintenance, and quality control plans which are vital for production and utility activities. The purpose of our project - 'Energy Audit and Management of ITMU -Vadodara' is to categorize, quantify, describe and prioritize cost saving measures relating to energy use in the academic area, laboratories, library, hostel & guest house. This project is just one step, a mere mile marker towards our destination of making our campus 'ITM Universe' as one of the most energy efficient campuses in Gujarat

Design and Reconductoring of A 400 K.V Transmission Line And Analysis on ETAP
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
The existing transmission line when subjected to actual load flows across a system of distribution and substation are restricted to various permissible limits of its line parameters limitations in terms of temperature, sag , current rating and atmospheric parameters laying of the existing line and its limitations problems and linked costs, where new generation transmission upgrades are inculcated in proximity with the load. Thus we followed this basic concept of replacing the existing conductors with the various new age conductors which have enhanced temperature, sag, current and power transfer capacity. We selected few conductor's and with their data designed a 400kv transmission line and its comparison model and thus performed the load flow analysis on ETAP which uses the Newton-Raphson and Gauss-Siedel iterations and performs the load flow analysis. Thus, reconductoring is an important cost reduction process in evaluation of the system integration, which is economical for capital improvement and better transmission capabilities.

The electricity requirements of the world are increasing at an alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply and as a result of it, the fossil fuels may not be sufficient to keep pace with the ever increasing demand of electrical energy of the world. Also Providing clean, reliable energy is a major goal for policymakers and concerned individuals worldwide. The unfortunate fact is that the cheapest energy sources, with a century of technical and infrastructure development backing them, are polluting fossil fuels. Thus when a technology like solar photovoltaic comes along – converting the sun's rays to electricity with no moving parts, no emissions, and no fuel costs – the excitement is understandable. Our paper elucidates about Photovoltaic Cell, it's applications, economics, growth and scope of Photovoltaic with a view of its current development and the future innovations in the area of solar energy.

The theory of Cloud computing has considerably changed the field of parallel and distributed computing systems. Cloud computing enables a wide range of users to access storage, hardware, software and any type of services in distributed, virtualized and scalable manner through Internet. Load balancing is a method to distribute request for SAAS, IAAS and PAAS from multiple clients to multiple computers connected in network to achieve optimal resource utilization. Virtualization maximize throughput in minimum response time, and avoid overload. With recent invention rather than investing lot on highly compatible server, why not to use cluster of computer which can be work as client as well as server when needed. Rather than single server facilitate all request a cluster of normal computer are used to serve request in efficient manner. With recent advent of technology, resource control or load balancing along with efficient energy usage in cloud computing is main challenging issue. A few existing scheduling algorithms can maintain load balancing and provide better strategies through efficient job scheduling and resource allocation techniques as well. Now there is a need for efficient and environment savvy algorithm to reduce carbon foot prints and to save energy. The objective of this paper to present environment savvy algorithm with effective resource utilization.

Closed Loop Control and Harmonic Analysis of SVS for Maintaining Voltage Profile of Power System
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
In power system the voltage at different buses vary with the change in load. The voltage is normally high at light load condition and low at heavy load condition. The voltage level at the consumer terminal must be maintained within permissible limits irrespective of the type & magnitude of the load. To keep bus voltages within permissible limits, it is necessary to maintain the balance of reactive power in the system. That means reactive power generation must be equal to reactive power absorbed. Any mismatch in the reactive power balance affects the bus voltage magnitude. SVS provides a fast, smooth and step less variation of compensation of reactive power injected into the line. Thus it assures an accurate voltage control of buses over a wide range of loads. This paper deals with reactive power compensation by using SVS (combined TSC and TCR). Reactive power compensation is provided to minimize power transmission losses, to maintain power transmission capability and to maintain the supply voltage at load side. Also Harmonic Analysis for closed loop TSC and TCR system is done. Due to Harmonics, innocent customers suffer from poor power quality. This is due to nearby large nonlinear load. The SVC (combined TCR and TSC) provides the lagging and leading reactive power rapidly and independently with voltage constraints. The number of TSC and TCR to be used is decided according to the reactive power requirement of system.

Improving Power Transfer Capability of EHV AC Double circuit Transmission line by Enhancing Surge Impedance Loading level
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
Increase in the power demand requires the development of EHV (Extra high voltage) AC double circuit and high power carrying capacity transmission lines. Generally the power generating stations are far away from the distribution network, to connect the power surplus region to power deficit region long EHV AC double circuit transmission lines are required. But the power transfer capacity of long EHV AC transmission line are limited by their SIL (Surge Impedance Loading) limit which is much below the thermal limit of conductor due to large inductive reactance of the line. SIL depends on various factors and geometrical arrangement of double circuit transmission lines such as bundle spacing, diameter of conductor, no. of subconductors per phase and spacing between conductors. In this paper an attempt is made to present various techniques implemented on EHV AC double circuit transmission lines to improve SIL level and its effect on corona loss is shown with the help of mathematical programming in Matlab software. Also different double circuit configurations and its comparison are presented.

Smart Grid Reconfiguration Using Genetic Algorithm and NSGA-II
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
Distribution grid reconfiguration is one of the methods of accommodating more DG into the electric grid. Increased penetration of distributed generators (DGs) is one of the characteristics of smart grids. Distribution Grid Reconfiguration defined as altering the topological structure of distribution feeders by changing the open/closed states of sectionalizes and tie switches so that the objective function is minimized and constrained are met. The purpose of an optimal DN reconfiguration problem is to identify an optimal radial operating structure that minimizes one or many objective like minimal power loss, voltage deviation etc. Grid reconfiguration Considered as nondeterministic optimization problem. Proposed method is Genetic Algorithm (GA) it iteratively solves a problem by improving the candidate solution based on certain criteria. It is based on the principle of evolution. When multiple objectives can be optimized, GA fails to find solution. In order to overcome this disadvantage, the concept of Pareto optimality is introduced. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm -II (NSGA-II) is one such optimization method based on the principle of GA. It makes use of non-dominated ranking and crowding distance which inherently preserve elitism and presents parameter less niching operator.

Voice Recognition Systems are available but voice recognition software being closed source cannot be used easily for implementation of voice recognition based devices. To implement the approach on a real-time application, an arm 11 device interface is to be designed to control the applications on Linux platform, it being an open source using Qtcreator software. Idea behind this research work came from one paper which consists of system of control various speech Devices. By using Various Speech Commands according to Human Voice, We Can Control Various Industrial Devices like Speed of Motor. Speech is a key input For the Controlling of the System. By using Speech Recognition technique for controlling of industrial Devices, When we speak start or stop into the Microphone The Raspberry Pi B+(arm11) follow that command and Performed that operation on industrial equipment Like Bulb (On/Off), Dc Motor (On/Off),Fan (On/Off),Submersible Pump (On/Off). We Can Provide User Interface By Train For More Command.

Automatic Generation Control of Two Area using Fuzzy Logic Controller
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
This paper presents the application of Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of two area thermal power system. Proposed scheme is analyzed considering Generation Rate Constraint (GRC). The dynamic response for 1% load perturbation in system is considered either in any one area, two area or simultaneously in all four areas. The main objective is to improve the frequency deviations of the interconnected system. The performance of fuzzy controller is compared with integral controller. The advantage of fuzzy controller is that it can handle non linearities of the system. The simulation results indicates superiority of fuzzy controller over integral controller and also results are tabulated as a comparative performance in view of settling time and peak under over shoot.

Design of Single Phase Pure Sine Wave Inverter for Photovoltaic Application
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
This paper presents the design of an single phase inverter system which converters the DC voltage available from the solar PV array into AC voltage. The whole system consists of two major stages: DC-DC converter and full bridge inverter with a LC filter (Low-Pass). The output of the system is pure sine wave with the frequency and voltage at standard grid output. The DC-DC converter stage consists of a half bridge push- pull converter with main function of boosting the voltage and providing isolation through transformer. The full bridge inverter circuit uses SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) technique and low-pass LC filter to form pure sine wave output from DC input.
