HVDS approach for reducing the Technical and Non-technical losses to enhance the Electrical Distribution System performance

Vol.6 No.1

Title: HVDS approach for reducing the Technical and Non-technical losses to enhance the Electrical Distribution System performance   
Author Name: Dr P Ravi Babu, Sushma B , Ashwin Kumar B                                                            
Synopsis:   
This paper presents a new methodology for enhancing the distribution system performance by minimizing both technical and non technical losses. Most of the utility companies in developing countries are victims of major revenue losses due to technical and non technical energy losses. The non technical losses are like electricity theft, unauthorized connections, irregular billing and the technical losses are I­­­2R power losses. These losses affect the quality of supply in terms of voltage magnitude, and more tariffs imposed on genuine customers. To improve the efficiency of supply, one of the recommendations is “Boosting the distributor phase voltage, say from 100% to 152% that is, 230V to 350V and stepping down to normal operating voltage (230V) at the consumer premises by using a special voltage regulator device”. The methodology can reduce the technical and non technical losses in the electrical distribution system up to 36.12% of total power supplied to electrical distribution system. Hence the voltage profile can be improved by reducing the I­­­2R losses. As the normal operating voltage of any home appliances is 230V, in the proposed methodology the electrical distributor phase voltage is maintained up to 350V.So if any domestic consumer tries to get unauthorized/illegal power tapping connection, the home appliances are get damaged due to over voltage. Hence, with this approach there is no chance for power theft or unauthorized connections in the distribution system. When the electrical distributor operates with more voltage than the normal operating voltage, the I2R losses in the distributor will be reduced considerably.

Year: 2012
Issue: Jul-Sep
Title: Five Level VSI Based Statcom In Fourteen Bus System   
Author Name: S.D.Sundarsingh Jebaseelan, Dr.R.Raja Prabu   
Synopsis:   
This paper deals with the performance of fourteen bus systems with and without STATCOM using five level inverter VSI circuit. The VSI is extremely fast in response to reactive power change. A Static Compensator (STATCOM) is a device that can provide reactive support to a bus. It consists of voltage source inverters connected to an energy storage device on one side and to the power system on the other. STATCOM is a device which can supply the required reactive power at low values of bus voltage and can also absorb active power if it has large energy storage. It also required having less harmonic contents in the output and higher compensation VA capacity. When the reactive power of the load is changing continuously, a suitable fast response compensator is needed. STATCOM, TCTC, UPFC, TCSC, SVC are the compensators belonging to FACTS devices. Models for the STATCOM is developed using MATLAB simulink. The simulation of the STATCOM is performed in the Simulink environment and the results are presented.

A New Improved Fuzzy Logic Based Power System Stabilizer

Vol.5 No.4
Year: 2012
Issue: Apr-Jun
Title: A New Improved Fuzzy Logic Based Power System Stabilizer  
Author Name: SABAPATHI D, R. Anita   
Synopsis:   
Power System Stabilizer (PSS) is installed in the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) of the generator, it must be capable of providing appropriate stabilization signals over a broad range of operating conditions and disturbances. Traditional PSS relay on robust linear design methods. In order to eliminate to cover a wide range of operating conditions, expert or rule based controllers have also been proposed. Fuzzy logic as a robust control design method has shown promising results. In this paper, a systematic approach to fuzzy logic control design is proposed.  This paper presents a study of Fuzzy Logic Power System Stabilizer (FLPSS) for stability enhancement of a two-area four-machine system. In order to accomplish the stability enhancement, speed deviation (??) and acceleration power deviation (?p) of the rotor synchronous generator have been taken as the inputs to the fuzzy logic controller. These variables show significant effects on damping the generator shaft mechanical oscillations. The stabilizing signals have been computed using fuzzy membership function depending on these variables. The performance of the system with FLPSS is compared with Conventional Power System Stabilizer (CPSS) and the system with PSS.



Transmission Loss Allocation in Transaction Frame-work using Genetic Algorithm

Vol.5 No.4
Year: 2012
Issue: Apr-Jun
Title: Transmission Loss Allocation in Transaction Frame-work using Genetic Algorithm   
Author Name: S.V.N.L.Lalitha, Maheswarapu Sydulu   
Synopsis:   
Using a physical flow based approach, power injected at a bus can be expressed as a product of transaction amounts and transaction co-efficients for all buses except slack bus. Since the slack bus has to compensate for the system losses, transaction co-efficients corresponding to system slack bus include an additional component to account for the loss and thus necessitate the need to be calculated iteratively. This paper proposes a Zbus method for direct determination of the loss allocation among transactions provided the transaction co-efficients are known. An attempt is made to find the transaction co-efficients corresponding to slack bus using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Case study is performed on IEEE 24 bus RTS with multiple transactions and the test results are compared with the results of existing methods.

Author Name: Ashwani Kumar Chandel, Raj Kumar Patel   
Synopsis:   
Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of electrical machinery are of great concern in industries. Pre fault detection in machinery can save millions of rupee required as emergency maintenance cost.

Vol.5 No.3
Year: 2012                
Issue: Jan-Mar
Title: Parallel Resonant Full Bridge Isolated AC-DC ZVS Converter   
Author Name: Sivachidambaranathan, Subhransu Sekhar Dash   
Synopsis:   
Resonant power converters have many advantages over Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) power converters, such as lower switching losses at higher switching frequencies, easier EMI filtering, reduced component stress and higher efficiency. High switching loss considerably reduces the converter efficiency. The use of soft-switching techniques, alleviate switching loss problems and allow a significant increase in the converter switching frequency. At increased frequency the converter can employ smaller sized magnetic elements and filter components. Most of the switching losses are eliminated Resonant Converters. The advantages of Parallel Resonant Converter (PRC) are that the output dc filter capacitor does not carry high ripple current and also it exhibits good voltage regulation. In the present work Parallel Resonant Converter (PRC) with Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) for the 12 V DC output is designed with High Frequency (HF) and the simulation results are presented.


Harmonic Elimination Using Pattern Search Method

Vol.5 No.3
Year: 2012                
Issue: Jan-Mar
Title: Harmonic Elimination Using Pattern Search Method   
Author Name: M. Narayanan, K. Keerthivasan , Jovitha Jerome   
Synopsis:   
The problem of low power factor, power loss, heating of the machine and telephonic interference necessitates techniques to eliminate harmonics. The main objective of harmonic elimination is to produce the fundamental while not generating specifically chosen harmonics. The output voltage waveform of an inverter is given by Fourier series expansion which contains both the fundamental and the harmonics. Suitable technique has to be used to solve the transcendental equation. Traditional optimization methods suffer from various drawbacks, such as prolonged and tedious computational steps and convergence to local optima, thus, the more the number of harmonics to be eliminated, the larger the computational complexity and time. So in this research work, Pattern Search (PS) method has been employed to eliminate the harmonics. Using pattern search technique, the transcendental equations are solved and switching times (angles) that produce only the fundamental without generating any specific harmonic order is found. This is referred to as harmonic elimination or programmed harmonic elimination as the switching angles are chosen (programmed) to eliminate specific harmonics.


Single Phase Induction Motor Drives for Low Power Applications

Vol.5 No.3
Year: 2012                
Issue: Jan-Mar
Title: Single Phase Induction Motor Drives for Low Power Applications   
Author Name: Karpagam, A. Nirmal Kumar , M. Suresh   
Synopsis:   
Single-phase induction motors are widely used in fractional power applications such as fans, refrigerators and air conditioners. An improvement in its performance means a great saving in electrical energy.The motor can be operated at constant speed or controlled by ON/OFF strategy which results in poor performance and low power factor.An inverter-fed variable frequency motor is a typical example of such improvement. Nowadays, a direct AC-to-AC converter commonly termed as Matrix Converter has a simple structure and many attractive features. These converters have the characteristics such as four quadrant operation, unity input power factor, no dc-link capacitor and high quality voltage/current waveforms. Matrix Converters are replacing the conventional Voltage Source Inverters. In this regard, this paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the performance of the single-phase induction motor when it is fed with single phase inverters and matrix converters. Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) technique is used to generate the firing pulses for power switches of the inverter and matrix converter. Simulations were done using MATLAB/Simulink software package and the results were analyzed and presented.

Comparison between Direct Control Method and Indirect Control Method of Non Linear Sliding Mode Controller for DC-DC Buck Converter

Vol.5 No.3
Year: 2012                
Issue: Jan-Mar
Title: Comparison between Direct Control Method and Indirect Control Method of Non Linear Sliding Mode Controller for DC-DC Buck Converter   
Author Name: Rajanna GS, H.N. Nagaraj   
Synopsis:   
A major disadvantage of applying sliding mode control (SMC) to dc-dc buck converter is that switching frequency is affected by line and load variations. To maintained constant switching frequency, two different methods incorporated to design a sliding mode controller for dc-dc buck converter is presented in this paper. The first method is called direct SMC, employed as a general sliding mode control (SMC) with hysteresis method to suppress the switching frequency in which output of SMC controller is applied directly to power switch. The second method, Indirect sliding mode control, is based on the modified integral variable structure control (MIVSC), in which the output of the SMC controller applied to the switch through Pulse width modulation (PWM). Two methods are compared by simulation (MATLAB/SIMULINK). The result gives that the indirect SMC is able to suppress the switching frequency and exhibits better load and line disturbance rejection than the direct SMC control method.

Title: Enhancement Of Power Transmission Capability Of Vsc-Hvdc System Using Fuzzy Controller   
Author Name: RAMESH MARPU, A.Jaya Laxmi , Rajanna GS   
Synopsis:   
In planning and operating today’s stressed power systems, the ability to maintain voltage stability has become a growing concern. Although the term voltage stability is being extensively used in the literature and in industry, general agreement on exactly what constitutes voltage stability does not yet exist. This is largely because distinctions between phenomena which represent different forms of instability are often subtle. Also, the physical aspects of voltage instability may not be well understood due to the complex nature of the phenomenon and the variety of ways in which it can manifest itself in power systems. Recently, due to advancement of power electronics technology, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission technology has been utilized to enhance power system stability. The HVDC is very reliable, flexible and cost effective. Advances in artificial intelligence techniques such as Fuzzy, ANN etc. and Power Semiconductor devices have made tremendous impact in the improvement stability of HVDC system. A case is made to present overview of the artificial intelligence techniques   possibility of including these techniques in modern power system and practices.
