Nowadays, energy and in particular, electrical energy is fundamental in all activities, especially, in economic activities and in their development. Actually, electrical energy is the motor of all evolution and development that we witness all over the world. In fact, electrical energy is everywhere, from the smallest home electrical installation to the most complex industrial installation or in any scientific research room. Actually, in the point of view of manufacturers and users, electrical energy must be considered a good thing with great importance and, for this, it must be supplied by the former with quality and used by the latter with rationality and safety. This article describes and analyses the different kinds of losses in industrial electrical installations, and some methods will be presented that must be adopted to reduce electrical losses and to use electrical energy with more efficiency in industrial installations

This paper introduces a microprocessor and wavelets based non communication relaying approach dedicated for on line six-phase power transmission lines fault detection, classification and faulted phase(s) selection. The approach uses wavelets for capturing the fault induced high frequency signals of currents and/or voltages. The captured high frequency signals are then used in conjunction with their energies to determine the faulted line and consequently for making a trip decision. For this purpose, a suitable wavelet for on line protection is chosen and tuned at a suitable band of frequencies. In order to investigate a real time performance of the introduced approach a microprocessor based laboratory prototype has been implemented and tested. The obtained results show that the approach is high speed in faulted phase(s) detection and insensitive for the fault inception angle, fault resistance, and line terminals

This paper proposes a new systematic approach for calculating settings of all zones of ground distance relays when mutual coupling effect is considered. The proposed zone 1 setting calculation method is based on the apparent impedance seen by the ground distance relays when faults are simulated on the assumed reach of zone 1. Also, it presents a method for calculating zone 2 and zone 3 settings based on the composite current assistance parameter and apparent impedance in the paper. It is shown that the proposed systematic method guarantees the coverage of zone 1 and increases the sensitivity and accuracy of zone 2 and zone 3 settings

The unreliability of public power lines have led to the need of uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Utility power failures will cause unacceptably high risk to the profitability, existence and growth of the vital aspect of business that depends heavily on uninterrupted power supply. For this reason it is important to develop a method to estimate the reliability of such system, to ensure that it will perform satisfactorily when needed. This paper describes and discusses an approach to predict the reliability parameters of the UPS system using the probability tree method. Important UPS reliability parameters such as failure rates (lambda), mean time between failures (MTBF), and reliability (R), can be obtained from this method. These quantitative reliability parameters can play an essential role in selection and application of the UPS. The method was applied to different topologies of UPS systems and comparisons were made between the results obtained form probability tree method and the reliability block diagram (RBD) method

The significant increase in wind power connected to supply networks introduces additional issues in the assessment of network capacity. This paper looks at the assessment of loading on transmission network elements where significant wind generation capacity has been installed. Due to the stochastic nature of wind generation, extreme conditions (e.g. maximum wind generation, minimum load) can occur, but the probability of the occurrence of such conditions is also important. The probability analysis of the effect of wind power on a transmission networks is investigated using Monte Carlo simulation

This paper describes dynamic modeling of a microgrid operating in grid-connected mode. The model is applied to a distributed utility grid that uses three gas turbine based distributed generators (D.G.), generating power at distribution voltage level (415 volts) and these are connected to a MV grid through a transformer. These DGs are dynamic devices & hence affect the dynamic behavior of the distribution grid. The transient simulation in this paper is done using MATLAB SIMULINK. Analysis of the transient behavior of DGs in simulated environment is important for control of generators during faults, generator trip, surges and switching conditions

Like most of available industrial systems, power system does not have constant parameters; thus changes with time. Hence, when studying a power system dynamically, time invariant system behaviour could not be assumed. Therefore, for stabilization of the output voltage at the terminals of a generator, an advanced dynamic control system is required. In this paper, the use of self-tuning regulators for controlling the generator's voltage and improving dynamic performance of the system is suggested. This method, in which control laws are obtained by assigning system poles, is based on continuous identification of the variables of the system state.

The progressive tendency, of the photovoltaic (PV) system connected to the electrical grid, is establishing new applications, in a way that, such system has to be optimised. Nowadays, many of these configurations start to bring benefits into the electrical network, such as: export/import of real and reactive powers, quick fix to shortages in power when used with storage equipment, active power mains harmonics filtering, and reduction of greenhouse emission and environment friendly power generation source. In this context, this paper deals with modelling and analysis of a grid connected PV system power flow, with the consideration of chain parasitic resistances and inductances. As a result, this leads to understand and infer various possible operating modes and system design concept

As deficiency of conventional methods of winding deformation monitoring of transformer, a new way for monitoring winding deformation is proposed. After identifying parameters of transformer such as short-circuit reactance and resistance with parameter identification method, on-line winding deformation monitoring of transformer is actualized according to the change of parameter when winding deformation happens. A system of on-line winding deformation monitoring of transformer is simulated, the result proves this method's efficiency
