An irregular activity on electric power distribution feeder, which does not draw adequate fault current to be detected by general protective devices, is called as High impedance fault (HIF). This paper presents the algorithm for HIF detection based on the amplitude of third and fifth harmonics of current, voltage and power. This paper proposes an intelligent algorithm using the Takagi SugenoKan...

Controlling the speed of the Induction Motor is very essential in today’s industry. Conventionally Gear box is used for speed control which consumes more energy. This Paper presents the Modeling and Simulation of frequency converter used for speed control of asynchronous motor through digital approach which has high reliability and energy conservation by using MATLAB/ SimulinkTM. The Frequency ...

There are various methods applied for indicating the most sensitive bus for any corrective and preventive actions like power scheduling at generation site and shunt element placement such as capacitor bank and FACTS devices at load site. The methods can be sensitivity analysis, optimization method, stability index based ranking and lastly the method that is rarely applied, termed as power traci...

A low energy fast miniature plasma focus device ‘FMPF-1’ has recently been developed to be used as compact and portable nanosecond pulsed neutron source for field applications. The system operates in deuterium producing maximum neutron yield in the order of 10 neutrons/ pulse in 4� sr. at ~80kA peak discharge current. In the range of 4 to 7mbar distinct and sharp dip in the current derivative s...

A test-chip for exploring the possibility of implementing RFID on a new 0.5-μm gate-array technology, with 20-μm Si substrates, is presented. It comprises of 4 transmitter circuits based on two ring oscillators and two cross-coupled oscillators. The design strategy adopted ensures simplicity in circuit design and a wide tuning range to account for the uncertainty implicated by the new technolog...

Microgrid is a part of the power distribution system which uses renewable energy based of power generation connected to the grid system. Multi energy power generation is composed of renewable energy systems including photovoltaic, wind turbine, energy storage and local loads. Testbed of a microgrid system is the technique to ensure stable operation during faults and various network disturbances...

The goal of the LAGUNA experimental series of the Los Alamos National Laboratory TRAILMASTER program is to accelerate an annular aluminum plasma z-pinch to greater than one hundred kilojoules of implosion kinetic energy. To accomplish this, an electrical pulse )5.5 MA must be delivered to a 20 nH load in ~1 ~s. The pulsed power system for these experiments consists of a capacitor bank for initi...

in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...

This paper has developed a novel multiobjective function for optimal sizing and sitting ofDistributed Generation (DG) units and capacitor banks in simultaneous mode to improve reliabilityand reduce energy losses. The proposed function consists of four objectives: Cost of Energy NotSupplied (CENS), System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI), costs of energy loss andinvestment. A novel st...
