1. INTRODUCTION
Electrical energy is an essential ingredient for the industrial and all round development of any country. It is generated centrally in bulk and transmitted economically over long distances.
Electrical energy is conserved at every step in the process of Generation, Transmission, Distribution and also utilization of electrical energy. It can be said that the electrical utility industry is probably the largest and most complex industry in the world and hence very complex and challenging problems to be handled by power engineering particularly, to design future power system to deliver increasing amounts of electrical energy. This power system operation and its control play a very important task in the world of Electrical Power Engineering. The final objective of the power system is to deliver electric power economically and reliably from generators to loads. Nowadays, power systems are large, very complex, ever-changing structures that should respond continuously in real time.() Electricity must be produced and delivered when it is demanded by a load. So power outages aren’t acceptable and the system must also tolerate sudden disruptions caused by equipment failure or weather. And also the system should perform as economically as possible, with sales and transactions monitored accurately...

...ire rotating system will begin to slow down. Because it would be damaging to let the equipment slow down too far, something should increase the mechanical torque Tmech to restore equilibrium and to bring the rotational speed back to an acceptable value and the torques to equality so that the speed is again held constant.
This process should constantly be repeated on a power system because the loads change constantly. In addition, because there are many generators supplying power into the transmission system, some means should allocate the load changes to the gnerators. To accomplish this, a series of control systems are connected to the generator units. A governor on every unit maintains its speed while supplementary control, usually originating at a remote control center, acts to allocate generation. Figure 4.2 shows an overview of the generation control problem.
ratio is above 3:1 (say 4:1) the moment of inertia will be too low and the force of
My knowledge of engineering is reasonable and includes transformer substations, power plants, power distribution and transmission systems, industrial motor control and PLC programming, protective relay coordination, FACTS devices, grounding systems, Matlab programming and project management. In addition, I possess practical experience performing power flow, short-circuit and relay coordination analyses while using a power system modelling software such as ETAP, EDSA, DigSilent and CYME. Consequently, the aforementioned experience and solid engineering education along with your training will allow me to provide support to operating and new
where 훳 is the same as 훳 in the previous equation. This means the total torque can be measured by summing those two values.
“Electricity is considered a very efficient way of energy consumption in part because it is weightless as well as easy to distribute. Electricity is used without creating loss and without creating pollution. Other forms of energy experience loss, pollution or both, such as fossil fuels. At the point where electricity generates, it is a renewable form of energy as well as a clean one. Without electricity, humans would be able to enjoy next to no modern conveniences” (Iec.ch). Electricity is a clean, efficient and renewable source of energy and without the invention of it who knows how bad our environment would would be. Lastly is the innovation of the Telephone. Do you like sending letters? Chances are you don’t and you have the telephone to thank for that. Now instead of sending a letter, and waiting for them to respond a two months later you can just call them. “The telephone supports business operation, socialization and global interaction by offering a way for business to communicate without delays between messages. The invention of the telephone offered an instantaneous form of communication that spawned other valuable communication tools, such as the Internet and cellular phones.
The emergence of the Microgrids came after realizing that the architecture of the electricity grid existing nowadays (Figure 1) is getting obsolete, since it is based on the idea of a top-down system, which is predicated on unidirectional energy flows. [ASMUS09]
A direct current in a set of windings creates a polar magnetic field. A torque acts on the rotor due to its relation to the external magnetic field. Just as the magnetic field of the rotor becomes fully aligned with the external magnetic field, the direction of the current in the windings on the armature reverses, thereby reversing the polarity of the rotor's electromagnetic field. A torque is once again exerted on the rotor, and it continues spinning.
For the prevantion of the electricity blackout we need to build smart power grid. A modernized electrical grid that uses analog or digital information and communications technology to gather and act on information, such as information about the behaviours of suppliers and consumers is known as a smart grid. This is used to improve the efficiency, reliability, economics, and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity in an automated fashion[12]. The important aspects of smart grid is to electronic power conditioning and control of the production and distribution of
In this developing nation consumption of electric power has become an crucial way as without which additional things can by no means come about to occur. The demand for electric power has been increased in recent years owing to the succeeding shortage of power and losses. This standard has to be solved and the causes cover to it has to be control so that efficient use can be made possible. The theft of electric service is an issue that continues to plague utilities across the nation and it appears in many varieties, ranging from experienced electronic fraud to simply never paying a legal bill.
Electricity and electrical components are a major part of our lives today. Our lives pretty much come to a halt if there is a power outage or if our electrical devices stop working, sometimes we even start panicking because we are so dependent on these components that we cannot afford to lose them and their importance and use only increases as time passes. We all use these electrical devices and also electricity itself but most of us do not think about the math and physics that works behind all of these things.
By determining how much work would have to be done on the gear to make it spin, the gear lifts an object with force.
The cheapest way to generate electricity, today, is hydropower. The reason for that is, once a dam has been constructed and equipment installed, the source of the energy is free. It is a fuel source that is renewable because of things like snow and rainfall. Engineers may control the water flow on demand.
Per year South Africa uses 1.3 % of the world’s total energy. South Africa’s main energy comes from coal, but one quarter of the coal we mine is exported to other countries. In 2009 71.1% of the total energy sources in South Africa were coal and hydroelectric energy had 0,1%. The one major reason hydroelectric energy in South Africa is so low is because this country is a water scarce one, which means that the hydroelectric power stations don’t have enough water to produce electricity efficiently. Eskom produces 95% of the electricity in South Africa and about half the electricity in Africa. Most of the electricity that is produced is from coal, but not all of it, other sources include gas, wind, hydroelectric and nuclear energy.
Electrical engineering deals with electricity, electro-magnetism and electronics. It also covers power, control systems, telecommunications and signal processing. These engineers are usually concerned with large-scale electrical systems such as motor control and power transmission, as well as utilizing electricity to transmit energy. Electrical engineers may work on a diverse range of technologies, from the design of household appliances, lighting
Electricity has become a basic necessity for most people all over the world. We are depending on electricity for our everyday lives and if one day we did not have electricity we would have difficulty going through the day. I think we need to be more dependent on things that do not use electricity and only use electricity sometimes as a treat so just in case if one day electricity all goes away we could still live comfortably and still have a great life even without it.
Artificial Intelligence is a machine which can think and do work for the human. AI can have many applications and can be used anywhere in the universe. My Project is about AI in Power Stations. We will discuss about how the AI techniques can be used in power stations to increase the supply of power and everything. Power Stations have tremendous growth this can be increased more by using some AI Techniques. We even have some faults in the power stations as we make use of transformers, generators and Transmission lines. Power station is defined as the it is one of the industrial facility used to generate the power. In this they burn the fuels like coal, oil to generate the power and electricity. We have different kinds of the Stations they are Thermal power stations, Hydal power stations and nuclear power stations.
