For reactor engineering and safety studies, simulation of these profiles in experimental facilities becomes imperative. The simulated nuclear fuel channel is heated by electrical heating to obtain cosine wave distribution of power/temperature profile, a typical characteristics of nuclear fuel channel. Induction heating technique is chosen for electrical heating of fuel channel due to its sundry benefits of efficiency, fast response, clean heating, better protection and accuracy in power regulation. Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object by eddy currents through electromagnetic induction. The parametric results obtained during the simulation helps in designing safety systems for nuclear reactors. The induction power supply of suitable frequency has been designed to obtain the desired power/temperature profile. The best design of the induction coil pitch and material properties of the work piece are simulated using COMSOL. The temperature profile has been obtained by changing the induction coil pitch. Simulation of cosine wave temperature profile across the length of fuel channel simulator for several parametric conditions have been presented by varying input parameters. The conclusions have been highlighted using the simulation results and hardware implementation is proposed for validation of simulated results.","PeriodicalId":413723,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power Energy, Environment and Intelligent Control (PEEIC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134155596","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}

User friendly Mi-power 9.1 software is applied for real-time simulation with practical security constraints of the power system. IEEE 57-bus system with arbitrarily increased load is considered as a test case. The performance of UPFC is judged by voltage stability enhancement index (VSEI) and reduction of active, reactive power losses and relative environmental pollution deterioration index (REPDI). The test results are compared for all the cases and it reveals that the placement of UPFC in weak zone is the most suitable considering all performance indices.","PeriodicalId":413723,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power Energy, Environment and Intelligent Control (PEEIC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122867882","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}

Three scenarios as a part of energy system model viz. business as usual (BAU), transition and aggressive are presented to analyse the impact of energy efficiency in sectoral electricity consumption. Energy efficiency factors, taken from India Energy Security Scenarios (IESS) of NITI Aayog are incorporated in BAU scenario to obtain electricity consumption in transition and aggressive scenarios.

The main objective is to study the mismatches of power in PV modules for non-uniform irradiations. Wasted power and non-linearity in PV behaviors is due to shading. Under shaded conditions, the P-V and I-V behaviors exhibit non-linearity along by several load maxima. In this paper, the investigations of the optimal layout of PV modules in a PV array are worked out to provide maximum peak power point (PPP) and peak voltage point (PVP) under various shaded conditions. Two type of solar PV array formations e.g. Total cross tied (TCT-PVF) and Non-symmetrical (NS-PVF) are considered for various shaded patterns. The modeling of PV array for various types of topologies is done in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The extensive results have been taken on these topologies for partial shading patterns and analyzed, which proves the NS-PVF execution is better as compared to TCT-PVF for most of the shading patterns.","PeriodicalId":413723,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power Energy, Environment and Intelligent Control (PEEIC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127196862","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}

But none of them are able to maintain resonating and ZVS/ZCS condition under a different operating condition which is a key feature of resonant converters. Due to this, efficiency and performance of IH system are degraded. Keeping this disadvantage, a pulse density modulation (PDM) technique has been proposed in this work for FBPRI to achieve better efficiency and performance of the classical IH system. This proposed technique ensures the ZVS/ZCS condition which reduces the switching losses. The proposed control method/technique is described in detail and it is validated through PSIM simulation at a frequency of 47 KHz.","PeriodicalId":413723,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power Energy, Environment and Intelligent Control (PEEIC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116984025","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 will lead to an increased emission level despite the abundant solar energy resources which is a suitable alternative for sustainable energy development in Nigeria. This paper addresses the issue by evaluating the technical and financial viability of deploying domestic Solar Water Heaters (SWH) in the Nigeria households using the RETScreen modelling framework. Performance, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation and financial analyses were performed for six selected cities in the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Results indicate that a single evacuated tube SWH can produce a maximum solar fraction of 69% for Nigeria’s households. The results further suggest that SWH can play a major role towards energy security and GHG emission mitigation in the country. The results of the financial analysis showed that SWH is economically viable in most parts of Nigeria with exception of the south-south geopolitical zone where the R1 category of households in Port Harcourt city still requires financial support for the viability of SWH. This study recommends the increased adoption of policies enhancing the penetration of SWH systems in order to transcend Nigeria towards a low carbon pathway.","PeriodicalId":413723,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Power Energy, Environment and Intelligent Control (PEEIC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126983649","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}
