In this paper, the problem of transmission loss allocation has been studied and a new method for loss allocation in transaction-based markets has been proposed. To further this end, first transmission line loss equations were used with respect to bus injected currents. The share of each bus from the mentioned transmission line losses was determined. Then, this method was applied to the total ne...

− Energy transmission by high voltage direct current – HVDC is steadily increasing in the world, both at the highest power levels, but also at medium power, for example in connections of remote wind-parks to the main a.c. grid. Although principles for d.c. side measurements are known since long, support from metrology is not on par with the needs. An overview of available technologies and the c...

This paper describes the performance analysis of different feeding technique for wireless microstrip patch antenna i.e for wi-max applications. In this paper four types of feeding techniques (Microstrip line feed, coaxial probe feed, proximity coupled feed and aperture coupled feed) are used. From the four feeding techniques, microstrip line and coaxial probe feeds are contacting scheme, in whi...

This paper proposes a new high step-up DC–DC converter designed especially for regulating the dc interface between various micro sources and a dc–ac inverter to electricity grid. The need of Electricity increases the power demand where the power demand met by the conventional sources of energy has some disadvantage of pollution, this disadvantage can be decreased by the use of the Renewable ene...

Shunt FACTS devices are used for controlling transmission voltage, power flow, reducing reactive losses, and damping of power system oscillations for high power transfer levels. In this paper the optimal location of a shunt FACT device is investigated for an actual line model of a transmission line having series compensation at the center. Effect of change in degree of series compensation on th...

Subject review Total power losses in a power system consist of technical losses and commercial losses. Commercial losses are 30-40 % of total losses and appear as a result of unreliable measurement devices for electricity registering and wilful unauthorised consumption of electricity. It is almost impossible to find illegal connections in a distribution power system due to hidden main power cab...

Optimization and control of reactive power distribution in the power systems leads to the better operation of the reactive power resources. Reactive power control reduces considerably the power losses and effective loads and improves the power factor of the power systems. Another important reason of the reactive power control is improving the voltage profile of the power system. In this paper, ...

Shunt capacitors are commonly used in distribution system for reactive power compensation. Different analytical, numerical programming, heuristic and artificial intelligent based techniques have been proposed in the literature for optimum shunt capacitor bank (SCB) placement. This paper will present a very detailed overview of optimum SCB placement techniques. Six different approaches of optimu...
