The main purpose of transmission systems is efficiently handling power from generation stations to load centers. Yet, a considerable amount of power is lost in transmission network components. As a corrective action, power flow redistribution in transmission lines using appropriate power flow control devices is useful to increase the transmission efficiency. However, the inserted power flow control devices themselves consume power. Thus, if not optimally sited, their own power loss may overcome the loss reduction which is obtained by their action, and as a consequence may increase the power loss further. Optimal allocation of these devices is critical to ensure fulfillment of the proposed goals. In this work, optimally placed Sen Transformer (ST) is suggested for power loss reduction considering security constraints. ST is modelled under MATLAB/SIMULINK, and optimally located using active power loss sensitivity index. The method is validated using IEEE-6 bus system and the results are encouraging.","PeriodicalId":126366,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115229345","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}

In addition, the three main steps of hunting, searching for prey, encircling prey, and attacking prey, are implemented. The algorithm is then benchmarked on 20 generating units in economic dispatch, and the results are verified by a comparative study with Biogeography-based optimization (BBO), Lambda Iteration method (LI), Hopfield model based approach (HM), Cuckoo Search (CS), Firefly, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Neural Networks training by Artificial Bee Colony (ABCNN), Quadratic Programming (QP) and General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS).

The instantaneous power analysis yields erroneous results under low load conditions of the motor where fault signature was buried in the noise. It has been theoretically and experimentally shown that the proposed phase detection method can detect fault signatures in the noisy environment without use of any extra hardware. The accuracy of the proposed phase detection method was compared with the instantaneous power analysis method for bearing ball defects and the results on the real hardware implementation confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":126366,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130900632","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}

To evaluate the usage of grid-connected PV systems, a methodology based on mainly three factors is presented. These factors are yield factor, capacity factor and cost of energy. The analysis is done by a model based on monitored PV data and meteorological data in an interval of 15 minutes. Meteorological data was recorded from May 2013 until July 2014 with a lack of data from September 2013 until January 2014. By analyzing the collected data, it is found that the daily average solar energy in Klagenfurt was 6613Wh/m2 in the time of research. The results of the research show that future investments in grid-connected PV systems in Klagenfurt can be profitable. The yield factor over the time of research (293 days) is 1263.4kWh/kWp, whereas the capacity factor of the proposed system is 17.97%. The cost of energy is found to be 0.2348€/kWh.

Nanofluids are prepared by mixing and dispersing of nanoparticles with the base oil using magnetic stirrer and ultrasonic homogenizer. To decrease the effect of van der waals attraction force between nanoparticles and improve the stability of resultant nanofluids, a surfactant is used. The used surfactant is sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS). The heat transfer coefficient was measured at different concentrations of nanoparticles starting from 0.1 g/L to 0.6 g/L. The results were obtained at two different weight percents of the surfactant with respect to nanoparticles (0.1% and 1%). It is found that heat transfer coefficient has a great dependence not only on nanoparticles concentration but also on weight percents of the surfactant. Based on the obtained results, the corresponding mechanisms were proposed taking into consideration the role of surfactant and the effect of nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":126366,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121766607","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 considered wind turbine generator is the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The supercapacitor is connected at the dc link of the DFIG converters. Simulation studies are performed using PSCAD/EMTDC software. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated through the voltage profile, the stator current, and the active and reactive powers.

Thus, rigorous protection of wind power plants is an immensely momentous aspect in electrical power protection engineering which must be contemplated thoroughly during designing the wind plants to afford a proper protection for power components in case of fault occurrence. The most commodious and common protection apparatus are overcurrent relays which are responsible for protecting power systems from impending faults. In order to employ a prosperous and proper protection for wind power plants, these relays must be set precisely and well coordinated with each other to clear the faults at the system in the shortest possible time. This paper indicates how the coordination of overcurrent relays can be effectively attained for wind power plants in order to protect the power constituents during fault incidence.
