With the government's emphasis on environmental issues of power transmission and transformation project, noise pollution has become a prominent problem now. The noise from the working transformer, reactor, and other electrical equipment in the substation will bring negative effect to the ambient environment. This paper focuses on using acoustic software for the simulation and calculation method...

With ongoing efforts to make the power grid smarter, there is a large emphasis on the automation and data analytics. Substation automation is a key enabling technology for online monitoring, diagnosis and prediction for the health condition of the substation assets. Circuit breakers (CB) are one of the most vital components in a substation for tripping action required during the fault occurrenc...

Usually, distribution electricians are called upon to solve technical problems found in electrical substations. In this project, we apply problem-based learning to a training program for electricians, with the help of a virtual reality environment that simulates a real substation. Using this virtual substation, users may safely practice maneuvers with varying degrees of complexity. To improve t...

With the maturing of the Utility Communication Architecture (UCA), utilities are beginning to implement substation protection and control systems that are based on this technology. This paper describes such an implementation for the control of the Bateias 525kV substation on the COPEL power system in Brazil. In particular, the paper will describe the customer’s requirements and expectations wit...

A complete reconstruction program was started at the electrical substation of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant to assist the Hungarian high voltage network to join the European network. At the operator level a new, PC-based SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system was introduced. An AI-based, intelligent advisory system was developed and embedded into the SCADA system. The first part...

In India, the electric power transmission and distribution loss is very high, about 7% in transmission and 26% in distribution. Though deployment of automated meter reading system will reduce losses, particularly in distribution, penetration of automated meter reading is low due to high costs involved. World over, the Two-Way Automatic Communications System (TWACS) is the most widely used power...

SUMMARY The paper investigates efficiency of different shielding techniques. The study was performed on the basis of 3-D substation model design where the finite-element method for calculation of magnetic fields (the EMAS software) was used and measurements were performed. The study was designed to meet the following objectives: − to obtain a useful analytical tool for evaluation of magnetic fi...

in this paper, a study and design of energy conservation actions and the obtention of energy efficiency titles, according to the italian ministerial decree 20th july 2004, applied to lighting and electrical systemsin a school district managed by perugia province (italy), is presented.specifically, the analysis regarded the replacement of neon lamps with high efficiency ones, and the power facto...


 The use of electrical energy consumed by the University Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa uses sources managed PLN which are included in primary consumers, where electricity customers given a voltage 20kV (medium voltage). Then from substation Untirta, it is distributed equipment or components to area. Medium Voltage (TM) strong current at divided into 5 parts, medium starts power house and enters ...
