Condition Monitoring of Power Transformer Using Different Techniques
Abstract: Transformer is one of the key equipment of the power system. Power rating of the transformers varies from KVA to several hundreds of MVA. The transformer is an expensive equipment of the power system. Failures of transformer usually lead to substantial profit loss to the utility, potential environmental damage, explosion and fire hazards and expensive repairing or replacement costs; thus, it is desirable that the maximum service life of transformer …

Estimation of Power System Stabilizer Parameters Using Swarm Intelligence Techniques to Improve Small Signal Stability of Power System
Abstract: Interconnection of the power system utilities and grids presents a formidable challenge in front of design engineers. With the interconnections, power system has emerged as a more complex and nonlinear system. In recent years, small signal stability issues have gained much importance along with the conventional transient stability issues. Transient stability of the power system can be achieved with high gain and fast acting automatic voltage regulators (AVRs). However, AVRs …

Trustable Digital Design Counter-Measures against Eavesdropping and Man-in-the-Middle Attacks in Qi Wireless Power Transfer Protocol
Abstract: Qi is a wireless power transfer protocol by which power can be transferred from a wireless power transmitter to a wireless power receiver. The power receiver controls the power that will be transmitted from the power transmitter by sending several forms of control packets to power transmitter as necessary. But under the current specifications of the protocol, there is no authentication mechanism by which a power transmitter can recognize whether …

Protection of UHV Substations and Transmission Lines against Lightning
Abstract: In combination with characteristics of the lightning performance of UHV power transmission lines and on analysing the experiences and lessons relating excessively high lightning trip-out rate on 1000 kV transmission lines in Japan. The minimization of ground wire shied angle along with distance of the gap with a proper length is an important step for shielding failure trip-out in China. So, we should pay attention to the shielding failure flashover …

Transmission Charge Calculation of Power System
Abstract: In traditional power system, industry vertically integrated system (VIS) exists. But nowadays the vertical utility is being converted into horizontal integrated utility. This is the deregulation of power system. This system is divided into three parts: Transmission, generation and distribution. The revenue of the generation comes from the selling the power to the transmission and distribution. Similarly, the revenue of DISCO comes from commercial, industrials and domestic consumers. But in …
