Comparison of Battery Technologies for Hybrid Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Abstract: Although Electric Vehicles especially e-bikes were available in the market; it did not catch the attention of many for years. The main reason for this was their high cost and limited range between two consecutive full charges of the battery on board. However some of the modern battery technologies are promising in this direction. Lot of research is underway to fabricate battery with as high power and energy densities as …

Optimal Location of IPFC based on Installation Cost in a Power System Network using ABC Algorithm
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for locating the optimal position of Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) in a power system network based on installation cost. The proposed methodology uses both conventional and non conventional optimization tools such as LR and ABC, respectively. This methodology is formulated mathematically based on installation cost of the FACTS device and generation cost of the real power. IPFC is modeled using Power Injection (PI) model …

State Predominant Concept of PSS Design
Abstract: This paper presents the design of Power System Stabilizer (PSS) based on state predominant concept. An approach based on state predominant PSS with LQR for low frequency oscillation damping, Pole Placement and fuzzy control has been presented. The concept has been tested for both SMIF and multi machine system. The mathematical model of multimachine has been derived and the system has been simulated for various operating point changes, the results …
