DOI: 10.4172/2332-0796.1000163

This paper develops a novel strategy for the expansion of the power system corridors for the release of the embedded transmission capacity. Both theoretical and practical network models are presented with a focus on power flow studies which concentrates on the steady state or static behavior of electrical power system. The methodology involves the power flow analysis revalidation of the existing standard IEEE 14 bus system and simulation using Newton- Raphson method in both MATLAB and Powerworld simulator (PWS) environment. This paper therefore establishes that an original designed network could be modified to take more loads without building new generators or transmission lines. The expansion of the existing IEEE 14 bus network to accommodate more load involves the use of static compensators incorporated at the transmission lines. This technique is then analyzed extensively when distributed along the lines through the use of a distributed capacitors compensators, (DCC). DCC can affect significant change in power line impedance to improve the power transfer capacity of an interconnected power system. The application of the DCC on the line is the tier-1 technique. The results obtained show that by applyingthe tier-1 techniques to the transmission line, the system’s capacity will remarkably improve and the transmission line will accept extra loading.

DOI: 10.4172/2332-0796.1000164

In now a days modern multi level inverters have emerged to overcome the drawbacks due to the conventional inverters. In various industries inverters with different PWM techniques have been employed to achieve good performance in the context of variable speed drives. But due to multilevel inverters the switching losses are more and the cost of the equipment is also more because of the number of devices is increased in multilevel inverters. These are some drawbacks due to the usage of conventional multilevel inverters in industries. In this proposed work a decoupled algorithm is proposed to overcome the drawbacks due to conventional inverter have been presented. The cascaded connection of asynchronous motor and two 2-level inverters at both ends of motor constitutes to open end winding induction motor drive. The characteristics of dual inverter fed open end winding induction motor drive resembles to those of conventional three level inverter. In this proposed work the performance characteristics of Induction motor with different PWM techniques like CSVPWM, DPWMMAX, DPWMMIN have been analysed using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and to validate the results the harmonic spectra values has been listed out.

Acute power crisis in Delhi is stress on the people. Delhi dwellers suffer many problems due to power crisis. Dwellers spent a dark summer in Delhi. Apart from these problem the temperature in summer steadily rising to make their life harder. Presently Delhi has multiple problems, one is already discuss (acute electricity) and second that is storm, more than 10 tower and lines in different parts of the capital got damages. According to centre for science and environment (CSE) says that the domestic sector is the biggest guzzler of electricity in Delhi. According to newly released report of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) on load Generation Balance Report 2015-16, Delhi consumes more electricity than the states of others. The household electricity consumption per capita is about 43 units per month against a national average of 25 CEA project Delhi, speak will cross 6,300 MW this year and 12,000 MW by 2012. While the Delhi govt. plan to reduce its dependence on the NTPC by producing its own power. There are an alternative sources of power generation in short, mid and long term basis. If solar panels be the alternative short term power source, then per unit production cost is a huge barrier in making this technology popular among the mass. But when the people installs roof top, ground solar power plant the cost of installation initially is high. The installation of roof top to get a new electricity connection power utilities. In such a situation, a solar energy rate has been proposed that will cover the solar electricity production cost, alternately called the cost recovery scheme. This rate is near about the maximum per unit rate of energy the government purchases from quick rental plants. Also, different types of solar modules have been compared. This can be a technical support for the city dwellers to who wants to buy solar panels.

DOI: 10.4172/2332-0796.1000167

This paper presents a microcontroller based approach of a mobile phone and keypad controlled door. The door can be remotely controlled either by receiving set of instructions through the mobile phone or the keypad acting as the transmitter. The design consists of four main functional modules, which include: the mobile communication, controlling, decoding and the switching module. The decoding module and controlling module are made using integrated circuit chips ensuring proper conversion of signal to binary codes, which enables the microcontroller to effectively communicate with the switching device handling opening and closing of the door. The mobile communication module act as the transceiver unit which employs the use of a mobile phone serving as the communication device between the user at one end and the door at the other end. The decoding module and the controlling module are made possible using modern integrated circuit chips ensuring proper conversion of signal to binary codes, enabling the microcontroller to communicate properly with the switching device responsible for opening and closing the door. Only the right code can open the door, in case of sending wrong codes over three consecutive times, the password will have to be reset, because the system has sensed an intruder attempts.

Hadap A, Reddy KTV and Banerjee TS

DOI: 10.4172/2332-0796.1000173

Overall efficiency of high power microwave generating device depends upon input current in the form of electron beam and currents required for electromagnets. In order to increase the efficiency of device, if electromagnets are replaced by permanent magnets, overall efficiency of device shall increase. So, calculation of exact magnetic field is required. In this paper, the exact relation of magnetic field required in high power microwave generation using Backward Wave Oscillator (BWO) is found. BWO interacts with slow waves and is the most promising device to produce high power microwaves. The interaction involves the beams from high current density and the waveguide mode. An exact relation that specifically relates the various parameters of the waveguide like slow wave structures (SWS) dimensions, input beam voltage and operational frequency with axial magnetic field is derived. The derived equation gives calculation of exact values of magnetic field for focusing of beams. Theoretical and simulated work show good agreement with the previously available experimental data. So, with the derived electromagnetic wave relation exact value of magnetic field is calculated for desired frequency and power regime.

Design of a Model-following Controller Using a Decoupling Active Disturbance Rejection Control Method

Inoue S and Ishida Y

DOI: 10.4172/2332-0796.1000174

In this paper, we propose a model-following controller for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. This control system avoided the use of plant parameters by using the active disturbance rejection control method. Moreover, we propose a design method for the system, which could easily be decoupled for MIMO systems. Furthermore, the model-following controller could be designed for use when the orders of the model and the plant are different. Simulation and experimental results showed that the proposed method was robust to plant parameter variations and external disturbances.
