The document provides information about the power distribution system at Sealdah Power House in Kolkata, India. It describes the key components of the power house including transformers, switchgear, bus bars, isolators, circuit breakers, and protective relays. The power house receives 6KV high voltage from CESC which is stepped down to 415V by transformers before being distributed to Sealdah railway station for lighting, equipment, and facilities. There is also a backup diesel generator at one of the substations in case of outages.
In all these systems, the power flow of electrical energy takes place through Electrical Substations. An Electrical Substation is an assemblage of electrical components including busbars, switchgear, power transformers, auxiliaries, etc. Basically an electrical substation consists of a number of incoming circuits and outgoing circuits connected to common busbar system. Busbars are conducting bars to which a number of incoming or outgoing circuits are connected. Each circuit has certain electrical components such as circuit-breakers, isolators, earthing switches, current transformers, voltage transformers, etc. These components are connected in a definite sequence such that a circuit can be switched off/on during normal operation by manual/remote command and also automatically during abnormal conditions such as short-circuits. A substation receives electrical power from generating station via incoming transmission lines and delivers electrical power via the outgoing transmission lines. Substations

I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. 4 PowerHouse
Introduction: A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission and
distribution system. Substations transform voltage from high to low
or reverse or any of several other important functions. Electric power may flow
through several substations between generating plant and consumer and its voltage
may change in several steps.
A substation has a step up transformer which increase the voltage while decreasing
the current while a step down transformer decrease the voltage while increasing the
current for domestic and commercial distribution .The word substation comes from
the days before the distribution system became a grid. The first substation were
connected to only one power station, where the generators were housed and were
subsidiaries of that power station.

In SEALDAH POWERHOUSEthe control is divided into two sections.
i. The Low Tension section
ii. The High Tension section
The main components of the Power House :
Switch Gear
Transformers (300KVA. & 500 KVA.)
Isolator
Bus Bar
Bus Coupler
Circuit breakers (Air circuit breakers on L.T. side & vacuumcircuit breakers on
H.T. side)
Relays (Earth Fault Relay & Over CurrentRelay)
Hooter / Alarm
The components are described in brief fromthe power housebellow.
Switch Gear: It is a
combination of electrical
disconnect switches, fuses
and circuit breakers used to
control, protect and isolate
electrical equipment.
This switchgear is
connected to the incoming
supply from CESC. There
are two connections
available (one kept for
emergency). Incoming Switch Gear
The connections are coupled together by a Bus coupler and then sent to the
Transformers for further step down of voltage, as required. If any fault occurs
upstream (i.e., in supply side), this switchgear immediately disconnects from
4. 6 PowerHouse
the supply thereby preventing further spreading of fault and hence keeping
alive the essential railway operations.
Step down transformer: A transformer is a device that transfers electric
energy from one circuit to another circuit through
inductively coupled conductors---the transformers coil---a varying current in
the first or primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer
core and thus a varying magnetic field through the secondary winding. This
varying magnetic field induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) or voltage
in the secondary winding. This effect is called mutual induction.
If a load is connected to the secondary, an electric current will flow in the
secondary winding and electrical energy will be transferred from the primary
circuit through the transformer to the load. In an ideal transformer ,the
induced voltage (Vs) in the secondary winding is proportion to primary voltage
(Vp) and is given by the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary(Ns) to
the number of turns in primary(Np) as follows,
Vs/ Vp = Ns/ Np
By appropriate selection of the ratio of turns, a transformer thus allows an
alternating current voltage to be “stepped up” by making Ns greater than Np
or “stepped down” by making Ns less than Np.
In the vast majority of transformers, the winding are coils wound around a
ferromagnetic core, air-core transformers being a notable exception.
In SEALDAH POWER HOUSE two transformers are used, two 300 KVA and
another 500 KVA.
Two 300 KVA transformers are connected in parallel.
A spare 500 KVA transformer is kept for backup.

Isolator: In electrical engineering, an isolator switch is used to make sure that
an electrical circuit can be completely de-energised for serviceor maintenance.
Such switches are often found in electrical distribution and industrial
applications where machinery must have its source of driving power removed
for adjustment or repair. High voltage isolation switches are used in electrical
substations to allow isolation of apparatus such as circuit breakers transformer
and transmission lines for maintenance.

Bus Bar: In electrical power distribution, a bus
bar is a metallic strip (or bus) that conducts
electricity within a distribution board or
substation.
Its main purpose is to conduct a substancial
current of electricity and not to function as a
structural member. It is a wide and thick strip of
metal generally copper wich carry high voltage
power. The bus bars are used instead oc wire to
reduce the transmission losses.
Bus Bar in the Control Panel
Bus coupler: Bus coupler provides electrical
isolation bus by employing coupling
transformers and fault isolation resistors. The
Bus couplers contain two isolation resistors (one
per wire) and an isolation transformer (with a
ratio one to the square root of two). The
purpose of bus coupler is to prevent a short on a
single stub from shorting the main data bus. The
buses of two different voltage levels cannot be
connected in series. So, bus coupler is used to
join the buses of different voltage level.
Bus Coupler
Protective Relays: A relay is fault sensing device. Many relay use an
electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism mechanically, but other
operating principles are also used. Relays are used where it is necessary to
control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation
between control and controlled circuit) or where several circuits must be
controlled by one.
8. 10 PowerHouse
The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits, repeating the
signal coming from one circuit and re-transmitting it to another. Relays were
extensively used in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform
logical operations.
A type of relay that can handle the high
power required to directly control an
electric motor is called a conductor. Solid-
state relays control power circuits with no
moving parts, instead using a
semiconductor device to perform
switching. Relays with calibrated operating
characteristics and sometimes multiple
operating coils are used to protect
electrical circuits fromoverload or faults; in
modern electric power systems these
functions are performed by digital
instruments still called ‘Protective Relays’.

Oil Circuit Breaker (O.C.B.): The oil in OCB’s serves two purposes. It
insulates between the phases and the ground, and it provides the medium for
the extinguishing of arc. When electric arc is drawn under oil, the arc vaporises
the oil and creates a large bubble that surrounds the arc. The gas inside the
bubble is around 80%hydrogen, which impairs ionisation. The decomposition
of oil into gas requires energy that comes from the heat generated by the arc.
The oil surrounding the bubble conducts the heat away from the arc and thus
also contributes to deionisation of the arc.

Air Circuit Breaker (A.C.B.): The working principle of this breaker is rather
different from those in any other types of circuit breakers. The main aim of all
kind of circuit breaker is to prevent the reestablishment of arcing after current
zero by creating a situation where in the contact gap will withstand the system
recovery voltage. The air circuit breaker does the same but in different
manner. For interrupting arc it creates an arc voltage in excess of the supply
voltage. Arc voltage is defined as the minimum voltage required maintaining
the arc. This circuit breaker increases the arc voltage by mainly three different
ways,
i. It may increase the arc
voltage by cooling the arc
plasma. As the
temperature of arc plasma
is decreased, the mobility
of the particle in arc
plasma is reduced, hence
more voltage gradient is
required to maintain the
arc.
ii. It may increase the arc
voltage by lengthening the
arc path. As the length of
arc path is increased, the
resistance of the path is
increased, and hence to
maintain the same arc
current more voltage is
required to be applied
across the arc path. That
means arc voltage is
increased.
iii. Splitting up the arc into a
number of series arcs also
increases the arc voltage. Various internal parts of an Air Circuit Breaker
