Conventional ground fault protection schemes can be applied to any generator but it covers at most 95% of generator stator length. For ensuring 100% protection of synchronous generator stator winding, conventional ground fault schemes are combined with our proposed third harmonic differential over current protection scheme. Moreover, an investigation into the differences between first harmonic fault current and third harmonic fault current is performed. By using proper simulation model, earth faults are simulated at various distant points from the generator neutral and using this simulations, first harmonic fault current and third harmonic fault current characteristics are properly distinguished. Finally, the threshold current of our proposed differential third harmonic over current relay is selected based on the results of the simulations.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133775248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nanoparticles were calcinated at four different temperatures (450°C, 550°C, 650°C, 750°C). Requirement for extra washing step for impurity phase reduction has been eliminated by elongation of the drying duration at oven from 12 hours to 28 hours along with intermediate grinding. FESEM and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) were performed which confirm that the samples calcinated at 450°C and 550°C show smaller particle size and greater correspondence. Hence XPS was performed on these two samples which showed lower oxygen vacancies for 550°C. Finally the SQUID analysis has been carried out for the 550°C sample. A higher value of remanent magnetization and coercive field at room temperature has been observed. Besides, an asymmetric shift in the field axis with unsaturated M-H curve may be attributed to the existence of exchange bias effect in the synthesized nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"323 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124576183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The atom-by-atom simulation capability in QuADS 3-D exposes new degrees-of-freedom at nanoscale (such as engineering the stress, hybrid crystal cuts, composition, surface polarization, and electrostatics) and creates transformative design routes for boosting performance and reliability of novel nanoelectronic devices. Application of QuADS 3-D is demonstrated by four examples: 1) quantum and coulomb effects in nanoscale FETs; 2) correlation of structural modifications and reliability in AlGaN HEMTs; 3) effects of contact resistances in nanostructured thermoelectric coolers; and 4) efficiency droop in nanostructured III-N LEDs.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117303762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) are very common for the enhancement of power transmission capability of the line. Due to stability reasons, these compensation methods have limitations. Another alternative is to construct new AC transmission lines, which is not only expensive, but also time consuming. And it is not viable for every situation. However, transmitting both AC-DC power through the same line can increase the power flow without impairing the stability of the network. This paper investigates the increased power flow through an AC line when it is used to transmit both AC and DC power simultaneously. A model of a long transmission line carrying simultaneously both AC and DC power is studied for this purpose. The model uses a system of transformer and rectifier to produce and carry such power from a generating source to an infinite bus through the line. The study compares the power flow of the traditional AC line and the proposed simultaneous AC-DC power transmission.","PeriodicalId":122930,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (ICECE)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122021381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
