Future SCADA System for Smart Grid
ABSTRACT Traditional power grids are now transformed into Smart Grids (SGs) in order to solve the problems of energy wastage, energy control, uni-directional flow of information, growing energy demand, reliability, measurement and security. Smart grids increase the automation, coordination and connectivity between these electricity suppliers, electricity users and networks used in local distribution tasks and long distance transmission. Smart Grids offer bi-directional energy flow between ele...
The Role of Satellite Network in future 5G wireless networks
ABSTRACT The document outlines an investigation done in order to study Fifth Generation (5G) systems and to identify a role that satellite systems will play in contribution to the many advanced and diverse demands on existing telecommunication networks. This next generation network is a build-up and phenomenal improvement in wireless communication done by the “5GPP” on the already existing mobile generations. The evolution has seen us move from first generation which employed analogue te...
Commutation failures in HVDC Schemes
Commutation failures are very frequent dynamic events in high voltage dc (HVDC) transmission systems. Commutation failure is mostly observed at the inverter side of HVDC links, where large firing angles are used. The minimum value of the extinction angle required for the proper operation of a valve is specified by the valve manufacturer; however, at the inverter side of HVDC systems the extinction angle is regulated to a value higher than the valve specifications to allow control adjustments ...
The ability of AC/DC converters to generate and consume reactive power
ABSTRACT The conversion of an input AC power at a given frequency and voltage to an output power at different frequency and voltage can be obtained with static circuits called power converters, containing controllable power electronic devices. Various power converters have been developed to fulfill the requirements of the wind power generation. The most common option for the generators used in wind power generation is “asynchronous”, because support for speed variations is provided. This ...
Voltage Collapse in Power System
The power system is a highly nonlinear system that operates in a constantly changing environment; loads, generator outputs, voltage controllers, transmission lines, topology, and key operating parameters change continually. The behavior and output of the generators can be affected in a transient conditions. This transient condition can change the excitation and dynamics of the rotor which in turn produces undesirable oscillations of the system frequency and voltage magnitude. When subjected t...
Variable Speed Drives for AC machines
ABSTRACT Industrial drive applications are generally classified into constant-speed and variable-speed drives. Traditionally, AC machines have been used in constant-speed applications and DC machines were preferred for variable-speed. Induction machine with drive systems are widely used in applications such as pumps, paper and textile mills, elevators, electric vehicle, subway transportation, home appliance and wind generation. The three-phase squirrel cage induction motor is the mostly used ...
