The technique employed voltage stability and line outage contingency analyses. From the voltage stability analysis, the sensitive lines in a system during stressed condition are identified, while line outage contingency analysis identified the critical line outages. A pre-developed voltage stability index was utilised as an indicator to voltage stability condition of the system. The weak areas formed by the lines are identified as the sensitive lines from voltage stability analysis and at the same time the critical line outages identified from line outage contingency analysis. The results show that the lines, which are identified as the weak ones from voltage stability analysis, would also cause critical outages. The proposed technique was implemented on IEEE reliable test system and the results show that distinct weak areas were identified when the system was closed to the stressed condition.","PeriodicalId":375856,"journal":{"name":"PECon 2004.

The method combines the use of signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques. Fast Fourier transform and fractal analyses have been used to extract features of the harmonic signatures of the various nonlinear loads from the sampled input current waveforms. Intelligent and automatic harmonic load recognition process is achieved by using a rule-based expert system. The expert system has been verified using real measurements and the results show that the system give accurate identification of the single phase nonlinear loads such as personal computer, fluorescent lights, uninterruptible power supply and oscilloscope.","PeriodicalId":375856,"journal":{"name":"PECon 2004.

When the generation is insufficient due to disturbances, the frequency might fall under the minimum allowable value, which may lead to system blackout if not properly counteracted. This frequency decline may be corrected by shedding certain amount of load so that the system is back into balanced state. This paper reports a case study on Malaysia's TNB system. UFLS scheme used by TNB was reviewed. Then modification and improvement was made to reflect the current changes in the system making the scheme more up to date. Effect of having more stages to reduce over shedding and combination of different amount of load at each stage are discussed.","PeriodicalId":375856,"journal":{"name":"PECon 2004. Proceedings.

It is a clean source of energy .The water after generating electrical power is available for irrigation and other purposes. The first use of moving water to produce electricity was a waterwheel on the Fox River in Wisconsin in 1882. Hydropower continued to play a major role in the expansion of electrical service early in this century around the world. Hydroelectric power plants generate from few kW to thousands of MW. They are classified as micro hydro power plants for the generating capacity less than 100 KW. Hydroelectric power plants are much more reliable and efficient as a renewable and clean source than the fossil fuel power plants. This resulted in upgrading of small to medium sized hydroelectric generating stations wherever there was an adequate supply of moving water and a need for electricity. As electricity demand soared in the middle of this century and the efficiency of coal and oil fueled power plants increased, small hydro plants fell out of favor. Mega projects of hydro power plants were developed. The majority of these power plants involved large dams, which flooded big areas of land to provide water storage and therefore a constant supply of electricity. In recent years, the environmental impacts of such large hydro projects are being identified as a cause for concern. It is becoming increasingly difficult for developers to build new dams because of opposition from environmentalists and people living on the land to be flooded. Therefore the need has arisen to go for the small scale hydro electric power plants in the range of mini and micro hydro power plants. There are no micro hydro power plants in Malaysia and the smallest category of hydro power plants in Malaysia is mini hydro with a capacity between 500 kW to 100 kW. This paper discusses the conceptual design and development of a micro hydro power plant .The overall estimation and calculation of a 50 kW power plant has been carried out. Software is also developed using MATLAB to calculate the total head, discharge rate, type of turbine for the micro hydro power plants, once the capacity is known.","PeriodicalId":375856,"journal":{"name":"PECon 2004.

A microcontroller M68HC11E-9 has been used to implement such techniques. The microcontroller senses the speed's feedback signal and consequently provides the pulse width variation signal that sets the gate voltage of the chopper, which in turn provides the required voltage for the desired speed. A buck type chopper has been used to control the input voltage of a fully controlled single phase isolated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) bridge inverter. PWM technique has been employed In this inverter to supply the motor with ac voltage. The simulation and laboratory results proved that the drive system can be used for the speed control of a single-phase induction motor with wide speed range.","PeriodicalId":375856,"journal":{"name":"PECon 2004.

First, local controllers are used to optimize each subsystem, ignoring the interconnections. Next, an additional compensating controller was applied to minimize the effect of interactions and improve the performance of the overall system. At the cost of the suboptimal performance, this optimization strategy ensures stability of the systems under structural perturbations. To account for the modeling uncertainties, both a local Kalman filter and recursive least square algorithm are used to estimate all local states and interactions for each subsystem. The controller uses these estimates, optimizes a given performance index and then regulates the system. A sample three-bus system is given to illustrate the proposed methodologies.","PeriodicalId":375856,"journal":{"name":"PECon 2004. Proceedings.
