This paper proposes a method of parametric modeling for insulator leakage current employing synchronous detection technique. Since insulator surface degradation is characterized by changes in the harmonic content of the surface leakage current, synchronous detection serves as an efficient methodology with low computational burden, to compress the signal through parametric modeling. The performance of the proposed method has been compared with other well known parametric modeling techniques such as sine fitting and Kalman filtering, and the advantages of the proposed method have been highlighted. It has been demonstrated that the proposed method is able to estimate the true frequency with high precision and has the lowest computation time. The high precision and low computational time of the synchronous detection technique makes it a suitable algorithm for insulator leakage current monitoring through field devices.

In this paper, the duty ratio control schemes of DC-DC boost converter has investigated in two types. Firstly, the duty ratio control scheme is shown with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques such as constant voltage controller (CVC) and Fuzzy logic controller (FLC), integrated with solar photovoltaic (PV) system. These MPPT techniques are used to achieve the maximum power point (MPP) through solar Photovoltaic system with help of duty ratio control of DC-DC boost converter. Another control scheme, such as Proportional integral (PI), Fuzzy Logic based controller to reconciled the duty ratio of DC-DC boost converter, are discussed also. The study and transient analysis of both control schemes is carried out throughout the paper.

Smart distribution networks as the leading sort of smart distribution grids, are characterized with controllable embedded generations, demand side programs such as Responsive Loads (RLs) and Remotely Controlled Switches (RCS) which offers much flexibility in the operation of the network. This paper endeavor to develop an economic operational planning schedule for a day-ahead market based on Smart Distribution Network (SDN) considering a collaborative evaluation of dynamic pricing and peak power limiting based on Demand Response (DR) strategies. Also for the optimal cost savings, the distribution system operator (DSO) will constantly monitor the price fluctuation in power market to wisely schedule the SDN active elements and DR strategies. A case study with a 33 bus distribution system is used to illustrate the performance of the proposed method and the optimization procedure is solved using the modified particle swam optimization. The results ensures the possibility of technical and economic benefits to both customer and network. Additionally, a great improvement in network performance is achieved, and hence the upgrading of the network can be post ponded.

Principle of measuring space charge distributions in insulating materials through Pressure Wave Propagation (PWP) method is discussed in this paper. The principle is based on perturbation of electric charge distribution in the insulator by mechanical pressure which ultimately affects the resulting current through external circuit. The relationship between applied pressure, space charge distribution and output current signal is described. This paper presents the simulation of the system to obtain different pressure waves under different excitation conditions. For those pressure waves, the final output current is also calculated.

In power system operation and control, automatic generation control (AGC) scheme is used to maintain the balance in between the net generation and the total load in a system by supplying sufficient power with good quality. Controller plays an important role in AGC scheme. This paper presents a control scheme based on model predictive control (MPC) concept for multiarea power system in deregulated scenario. For guaranteed stability each area controller is designed independently. MPC controller is designed in such a way that for any load perturbation, generators can regulate the real power output to settle down deviations in frequency and tie line power exchange at desired values. The proposed MPC control scheme has been implemented for deregulated two area thermal power system. The performance of MPC controller is also checked for 75 bus Indian power system. Various load conditions has been considered to evaluate the performance of controller. The results and performance analysis are presented to justify the robustness & effectiveness of control scheme. The comparative performance analysis of MPC scheme and conventional proportional integral controller (PID) control is also presented.

This paper proposes a self-tuned approximated simplest fuzzy logic controller (ST-ASFLC) for shunt active power filter (APF). The approximated simplest fuzzy logic controller (ASFLC) is a 4-rule fuzzy logic controller (FLC), which successfully approximates the control actions of a 49-rule FLC using some compensating factors. The input scaling factors (SFs) of ASFLC are tuned online by a single nonlinear parameter using bipolar sigmoid activation function. The online tuning of SFs of ASFLC results in better dynamic response of shunt APF. The scheme is tested under randomly varying nonlinear loads. The simulation results presented under transient and steady-state operating conditions demonstrate that dynamic performance of proposed ST-ASFLC is better than 49-rule FLC, ASFLC with fixed SFs, and ST-ASFLC using the log sigmoid (unipolar) activation function. The proposed ST-ASFLC shows a remarkable improved performance in terms of peak overshoot, settling time, harmonic mitigation and reactive power compensation over other FLCs with fixed as well as self-tuned SFs using log sigmoid activation function.

The environmental impact assessment of a process helps in predicting the contribution of a given process to abate the environment pollution. Considering its diminishing and time-dependent effect, assessment of the overall effect of emissions is very complex. It is possible to evolve a generalized methodology for arriving at a single emission discounting number for the process, using the concept of time value of carbon emission flow. The number incorporates the effect of the emission resulting from the process as well as the machinery over the entire operational lifespan. The advantage of this method is its quantitative aspect as well as its flexible nature and can be applied to any process or technology. Based on this method, the discounting rate for a process can be determined and it can be used to assess the mitigation capability of a technology.
