The advances in sustainable development benefit society, environment, and economy by conserving and restoring energy sources. In the present work, to reinforce the green building concept at the university level, the efforts are put behind the lighting scheme and solar energy conservation. In order to design an efficient lighting scheme, a scientific approach has been employed to increase visual and operative value. Harnessing solar energy on the other side, is also addressed with a view to reducing the consumption of conventional electrical energy. It focuses on the optimum design of the solar photovoltaic system for running electrical appliances. Particularly, the attention has also been paid to the technical specifications of the battery bank. At the later stage of the work, an illumination and an energy audit have been conducted for the proposed designs in terms of energy conservation, design, and implementation, cost-effective solutions, and savings in carbon emissions.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"217 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123631650","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 bus frequency signal is the most convenient local feedback signal that can be used for this purpose. The bus voltage in a distribution system can be significantly distorted; therefore the frequency measurements are noisy and require heavy filtering. In this paper we propose the use of coherence functions of measurements taken at multiple locations to design the parameters (in non real-time) that result in very low phase delay. The filter designed using this method is found to be resilient to sudden spurious data (periodic spikes or glitches). The filtering algorithm has been tested on the real-life distribution system frequency measurements of the Indian grid.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"41 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113995818","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}

It is based on web application and mobile android system. QR code as a marker is generated in a standardized and efficient way for unique identification of each switch of Substation. Further it is integrated with existing SCADA for obtaining real time switch ON/OFF status by means of web service. This application assists the operator of EHV substation with continuous audio and visual support to take live equipment out of service sequentially without bypassing the interlock for maintenance activity. Augmenting the manual process of operation with this mobile app eliminates errors as the application does not allow the operator to proceed in case of any mistake or mismatch from predefined Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). This greatly enhances the safety of personnel and equipment.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127685034","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 PMU measurement gives a clear picture of sequence of phenomenon happening in power system. In power system, faults, load change etc. happens frequently. Since faults are severe cases it is required to detect them at the earliest. Here a two-stage fault detection method is proposed which can clearly distinguish between disturbances and faults in power system. The positive and zero sequence voltages obtained from PMUs are utilized in the detection algorithm. Once the fault is detected, it is required to recognize the kind of fault that has occurred.

The duty ratio of the boost converter is adjusted by using a PI controller to maintain constant dc voltage of 200V at dc link. This facilitates the connection of a resistive load at the dc link. The VSI employs dq axis control technique to independently control the active and reactive power flow to the three-phase grid. The gate pulses for the IGBTs used in boost converter and VSI are generated using dSPACE RTI 1103 controller.

But with the beginning of real time electricity pricing, research shows that the consumer consumes less electricity during peak pricing periods. Demand response (DR) plays a key role in reducing the peak load. Real time electricity pricing is a form of non-dispatchable DR program. In this paper, the authors have developed a droop-based controller for the heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system to respond to real-time prices for peak load reduction without compromising the comfort of the occupants. The paper is divided into two sections, the first section uses a price prediction model to predict the real time price for the next day. The maximum value of the predicted price is used by the controller developed in the second part of the paper, to control the power consumption of the HVAC loads by changing the set point temperature of the HVAC system. A detailed house model with HVAC system is developed using EnergyPlus. The developed controller is implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK and connected to the EnergyPlus model via building controls virtual test bed (BCVTB).","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115367853","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}

However, there are some issues related to it like, a sudden increase in electricity demand, high charging cost in dynamic price market, attending user's priority in charging his/her vehicle and the premium to be levied for such priority. In this paper, an intelligent charging strategy for Plug-in Electric Vehicle(PEV) incorporating a unified grid-to-vehicle(G2V) and vehicle-to-grid(V2G) framework with users' priority is proposed for optimal integration of PEVs in the existing distribution system. The intelligent strategy with objective function considering minimization of total charging cost, with users' priority as well as without priority is developed to study the impact of PEV integration from economic and technical perspective. The proposed strategy is implemented on test bench case consisting of 5 similar PEVs in a parking station. The uncertain parameters like PEV availability at charging station are handled using Monte-Carlo simulation. The bi-linear constraints are modified to pose the problem as a linear optimization problem. A comparative analysis is done on the charging cost with priority and without priority to investigate the economic impact of introducing users' priority. Finally, an investigative study is conducted to assign economic value to priority so the premium can be charged to users for assigning priority to their vehicles. The simulation results present a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed strategy.","PeriodicalId":185930,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th National Power Systems Conference (NPSC)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124388374","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}

Multi-objective Bat Algorithm (MOBA) is proposed to find the Pareto optimal set for multi-objective (MO) functions by varying weights. Two cases are considered based on the types of distributed generation used. DG generating only real power is considered in Case I where as DG capable of generating both real and reactive power is investigated in Case II. Both cases are carried out on IEEE 69 bus distribution system with multiple DG units. A comparative analysis is performed to analyze the quality of non-dominated solution with different scenarios for both the cases.
