Plantation forests the world over have been established in order to supply industrial mills with wood. It is estimated that by 2050, over half of the world’s requirements for industrial timber could be supplied from plantations, thus reducing the pressure on natural forests. Ensuring that the plantation, with its many stands, different planted species, terrains, etc., delivers the correct volum...

Solid state power converters are widely used in applications such as Adjustable speed drives (ASD), Static power supplies. Hence it affects the power quality (i.e.) related to non-standard voltage, current and frequency at the load side. In this paper an attempts has been to analyses the role of D-Statcom (Distribution static compensator) and located at load side in the distribution system, whi...

Wind power generation is grasping more attention nowadays because it offers the benefits of reduced cost, increased efficiency, less pollution and so on. But the known disadvantage is that the integration of wind farm with grid leads to many power quality problems such as voltage sag, swell, unbalance, harmonics, flickers etc. This paper concentrates mainly on diminution of source voltage sag a...

This paper introduces the terminology and various issues related to ‘power quality’. The power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency deviations that result in a failure of end use equipment’s. The main occurrence of voltage sag is always considered as one of the major power quality problems and it become severe to industrial customers. Voltag...

This paper compares Discrete Element Model predictions for power and variations in impact and abrasion (low angle impact) breakage with power and grinding rate predictions from the more "traditional" JKMRC models. The DEM predictions are based on measured mill load sizings from a large industrial SAG mill at two operating conditions. The load sizings can also be predicted with reasonable accura...

Serious power quality issues and huge economic loss can be caused by voltage sag. It’s helpful for grid corporation to estimate voltage sag loss. Voltage sag and influence of sensitive equipment are analyzed in the paper. An estimation method of voltage sag loss based on blind number theory is proposed, which takes the sag magnitude and duration as its main characteristic parameters. First Eucl...

Enhancing compensating capability is essential in a voltage-sag compensator. It involves two main aspects, first, sag detection technique and second, voltage sag compensator. Many detection techniques have been introduced to measure and to detect voltage sag, such as RMSValue Evaluation and Peak-Value Evaluation. Unfortunately, most of the techniques require a delay for sag to be detected then ...

Waste heat to power (WHP) is the process of capturing heat discarded by an existing industrial process and using that heat to generate power (see Figure 1). Energyintensive industrial processes—such as those occurring at refineries, steel mills, glass furnaces, and cement kilns—all release hot exhaust gases and waste streams that can be harnessed with wellestablished technologies to generate el...
