Chapter 7 Application of Electronic Converters.pdfLiewChiaPing
This document discusses power electronics applications in DC and AC drives. It describes the basic characteristics and equivalent circuits of DC motors and how their speed can be controlled through various single-phase and three-phase converter configurations. It also summarizes the operation of induction motors, including cage and slip-ring types, and how their speed can be controlled through variable frequency inverters or by adjusting the slip-ring voltage. The document concludes by outlining the main components of HVDC converter stations used for long distance and asynchronous power transmission.
This document discusses AC-AC controllers that convert AC voltage from one form to another by varying amplitude, frequency, or phase. It describes:
- Single-phase and three-phase AC-AC controllers that control output waveform through switching electronic power devices.
- Half-wave and full-wave phase control principles where the firing angle of thyristors controls power flow to the load.

- Waveforms and operating principles of full-wave controllers, including discontinuous output and zero-average current when thyristors conduct equal times.
So in summary, it
1) DC-DC converters control the output voltage by converting the unregulated DC input voltage to a regulated DC output voltage. Switching regulators have near zero power loss by rapidly opening and closing a switch to transfer power from input to output in pulses.
2) A buck converter is a type of step-down DC-DC converter that produces an output voltage lower than the input voltage. It contains a switch, diode, and inductor. The inductor current ripples between a maximum and minimum value depending on the duty cycle of the switch.
3) Key parameters in buck converter design include duty cycle, switching frequency, inductor value, and capacitor value. These are selected to achieve the desired output voltage
This document summarizes inverters, which convert DC power to AC power by switching the DC input voltage in a predetermined sequence. It describes various types of inverters including single-phase half-bridge and full-bridge inverters, three-phase inverters, and discusses Fourier analysis of inverter output waveforms. Key concepts covered include the generation of output voltages from DC inputs, harmonic analysis using Fourier series, total harmonic distortion, and pulse-width modulation techniques for improving output waveform quality.
This document describes single-phase and three-phase half-wave and full-wave controlled rectifier circuits. It discusses the operation of these circuits, including which thyristors are conducting during different periods of the input voltage cycle.

This document discusses overcurrent protection methods used in power systems, including reclosers, fuses, and directional relays. It provides examples of how reclosers and fuses can clear temporary and permanent faults on a distribution feeder. It also explains how directional relays work by only tripping circuit breakers when current flows in the forward direction, allowing protection of systems with multiple power sources where faults may be fed from either direction. Directional relays are necessary in these two-source systems since overcurrent relays cannot be properly coordinated.
This document discusses overcurrent protection and radial system protection. It describes different types of overcurrent relays, including instantaneous and time-delay relays. Instantaneous relays trip immediately when current exceeds the pickup setting, while time-delay relays introduce an intentional delay based on how many times the pickup current is exceeded. The document includes examples of selecting settings for time-delay relays in a radial power system to coordinate protection among circuit breakers while maintaining a minimum coordination time interval between devices.
Here are the key steps and settings for the distance relay protection of the transmission line:
- Zone 1 reach is set to 80% of Line 1-2 impedance for fast tripping of faults close to the relay location.
- Zone 2 reach is set to 120% of Line 1-2 impedance to cover faults beyond the far end of Line 1-2 up to Bus 2.
- Zone 3 reach covers 100% of Line 1-2 plus 120% of the longer of Lines 2-3 and 2-4 to coordinate with downstream relays.
The settings determined for zones 1, 2 and 3 are 4.05∠80.9°Ω, 6.08∠80.9

BEF43303_-_201620171_W8 Power System Stability.pdfLiewChiaPing
This document discusses power system stability analysis and protection. Section 8.1 applies the equal-area criterion to determine stability limits for a sudden increase in power input. The maximum additional power that can be applied without losing stability is found by ensuring the accelerating and decelerating energy areas are equal. Section 8.2 applies the same technique to determine critical clearing times and angles for temporary three-phase faults on transmission lines connecting a generator to an infinite bus. The power-angle curve shifts during a fault, and stability is lost if the angle increases too much before fault clearing. Examples calculate critical clearing parameters for specific generator and line configurations.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
