The power conservation principle or Tellegen theorem is considered at network level. Since the Distribution Networks are radial in structure with high R/X ratios, the conventional methods failed to give convergence. The researchers developed many separate load flow methods, based on this conservation of power at a bus level namely Forward Sweeping method and Dist Flow method. The proposed Tellegen theorem based algorithm is applied on to a 440V, 28 bus radial distribution system with a main feeder and laterals and the results are compared with “Forward sweeping method” and “Dist flow method”. Based on the methodology, computer program is developed using MATLAB. The bus and branches are indexed with a separate new method. It is observed that the memory requirement did not increase as the size of the distribution system increases and as the method does not have higher order equations and no trigonometric parameters compared to Forward sweeping and Dist Flow methods the proposed method is has smaller execution time.","PeriodicalId":6644,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Power and Advanced Control Engineering (ICPACE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"99-103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84268046","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 utilizes a hybrid digital pulse width modulator (DPWM) consisting of second order sigma-delta modulator (Σ-Δ DPWM) with counter comparator block. Both digital SMC and Σ-Δ DPWM are realized and validated on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) using Xilinx system generator tool. Using digital SMC and Σ-Δ DPWM, an Undershoot of 0.27% and Settling Time of 4μs is achieved for load variations of 0.3A to 0.4A.

Power factor correction (PFC) is a technique of minimizing the undesirable effects of electric loads that create poor power factor conditions. Correction of power factor may be effected either by transmission utility which improves the stability and efficiency of the transmission network or by individuals customers. This paper aims at the correction method using an intelligent power factor corrector based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) as a control system especially for the correction of the industrial power factor, which is not only required for the smooth operation of the electrical equipments used in the industries but also to minimize the cost of penalty that has to be paid to power supply utilities for having low power factor. This involves measuring the power factor value from the supply line using Power Meter and development of a PLC program to determine and trigger capacitor banks of required rating in order to compensate deficient reactive power, thus bringing power factor near to unity. The results of this paper is based on the case study on application of the proposed method in a real industrial facility.","PeriodicalId":6644,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Power and Advanced Control Engineering (ICPACE)","volume":"52 1","pages":"75-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73283292","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}

Design of an appropriate electrical circuit, design of components, results obtained by simulation (on ORCAD-PSPICE) and experimental results obtained through bench-tests are presented. A set of button-type permanent magnet (total weight = 4 gm.) was considered as the object to be levitated and a coil-wound electromagnet used to create a magnetic force which opposed the weight of the object. Distance between the object and the electromagnet was measured using locally available Hall effect sensors and the output amplified using a locally available differential amplifier. Pulse Width Modulation was used to control the current required to generate the required electromagnetic force. The results show that even though the electromagnet was capable of levitating the object, maintaining perfect alignment of the CG of the object with respect to the centre of the electromagnetic force is an important issue. It is therefore suggested that a bar-magnet for the object and a horseshoe magnet for generating the required electromagnetic force would provide a solution. Further, since the model of a prototype can experience aerodynamic forces and moments along three axes, a satisfactory MAGLEV system requires use of multiple horseshoe magnets which can provide vectored electromagnetic forces to keep the object in force as well as moment equilibrium.","PeriodicalId":6644,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Power and Advanced Control Engineering (ICPACE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"441-444"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83789611","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}

There are many more condition monitoring methods including thermal monitoring, vibration monitoring,chemical monitoring and acoustic emission monitoring. But all monitoring methods require costlier sensors or specialized tools whereas current monitoring methods do not require additional sensors. This is because of electrical quantities associated with the electrical motors such as current and voltage are measured by using current and potential transformers that are installed always as a part of protection scheme. The output point of view current monitoring is non-interfering and implemented in the motor control center remotely from the motors being monitored. The present work intends the current monitoring method is applied to detect the various types of faults in induction motor such as electrically related faults. Knowledge based fuzzy logic approach helps in diagnosing the induction motor faults. Actually, fuzzy logic is just like a human intelligent processes and natural language enabling decisions to be made based on obscure information. Therefore, current work enforces fuzzy logic to induction motor fault spotting and resolving. The motor condition is identified by using linguistic variables. Fault condition is diagnosed based on the current amplitude in addition to the knowledge is expressed in membership function and fuzzy rules.
