The LCCA is a process of evaluating the economic performance of an asset over its entire life. Sometimes known as “whole cost accounting” or “total cost of ownership”, LCCA balances initial monetary investment with the long-term expense of owning and operating the assets. This research has developed an LCCA model for distribution switchgears through identification, analysis and development of switchgear life cycle cost profiles, data and information sources from available asset-based and financial system in TNBD.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125295361","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}

This paper is started by introducing a new method for determining the optimal location and size of EG that needed to be deployed in the distribution network simultaneously using Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique. It follows by the discussion of evaluating the impact of the location and the size of EG to the system before and after contingency is created in the system due to fault. The proposed allocation methods and contingency analysis are demonstrated using IEEE 69-bus radial distribution system.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114644871","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}

These programs use a set of scenarios (or plausible realizations) and corresponding probabilities to model the multivariate random data process, e.g. electrical load, stream flows to hydro units, generation output of intermittent renewable sources as well as fuel and electricity prices. The number of scenarios needed to accurately represent the uncertainty involved is generally large, thus due to computational complexity and time limitation, scenario reduction techniques are often utilized. The paper proposes a new application for recursive backward scenario reduction to establish possible next-day scenarios for wind power generation at Mersing Johor, Malaysia. The algorithm determines a subset from the initial scenario set and assigns new probabilities to the preserved scenarios. The output is intended to assist generation scheduling of power system employing intermittent type renewable sources.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121722917","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 highest normal flux distribution occurs at the corner edge of the centre limb that is 0.17T and lowest at upper edge of yoke that is 0.09T. The average value of normal flux distribution is high at flux transfer region of the lamination. The flux transfer mechanism shows that two separate path flowing horizontally in the yoke before leaving the lamination to vertically adjacent layer and combine with the flux in that layer.

Speed and torque controls of permanent magnet synchronous motors are usually attained by the application of position and speed sensors yet, speed and position sensors require the additional mounting space, reduce the reliability in harsh environments and increase the cost of the motor. Therefore, many studies have been performed for the elimination of speed and position sensors. Therefore, a V-I model based model reference adaptive control is proposed. A Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) has been formed using parameter uncertainty cancellation to estimate the speed without using any sensor. Firstly, the speed estimation errors of a voltage and current model-based adaptive speed due to the parameter variation are analyzed. Consequently, an adaptation mechanism model is developed to cancel the effects of parameter variations on the estimated speed performance. Finally, the speed control with quantitative control performance considering the effect due to the feedback of estimated speed is presented. The results show that the MRAC is superior to the conventional PI controller in dynamic performance and steady precision. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is demonstrated by some simulation by using MATLAB/SIMULINK.","PeriodicalId":379868,"journal":{"name":"2010 4th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference (PEOCO)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121990687","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}
