This document summarizes an improved technique for under voltage load shedding using a hybrid genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization (GAPSO). The key objectives are to develop multiple contingency scenarios using various loading factors, establish criteria to identify weak buses for load shedding, and optimize the amount of load shed using an improved GAPSO approach. The improved GAPSO approach integrates a fast voltage stability index to select weak buses and adds voltage stability as a constraint. This technique aims to optimally stabilize system voltages following contingencies while minimizing load shed amounts.

The document discusses power quality standards. It explains that power quality used to be defined simply as reliability, but two changes - more sensitive customer equipment and interconnected systems - have increased concerns about other power quality issues like transients, sags, swells, and harmonics. Standards development organizations are working to establish standards to address these issues, including the IEC, IEEE, ANSI and others. The document reviews some existing and developing standards that relate to steady state voltage, harmonics, transients and other power quality topics.
This document summarizes an executive exchange program organized by the U.S. Energy Association and funded by USAID.

The document discusses planning for HVDC transmission and modern trends in HVDC technology. When planning HVDC transmission, the key factors to consider are cost, technical performance, and reliability. Modern trends aim to reduce converter station costs while improving reliability and performance. This includes advances in power semiconductors, converter control technology, development of DC breakers, conversion of existing AC lines, and operation with weak AC systems. Emerging technologies discussed are active DC filters, capacitor commutated converters, and ultra-high voltage DC transmission.
Control System Design for a 400W Micro-Wind Turbine Melvin Núñez
The document describes a control system designed for a 400W micro-wind turbine. The control system aims to:
1) Maintain a constant voltage output from the turbine as it generates power.
2) Safely shut down the turbine when disconnected from the grid or manually commanded, and automatically restart it after braking.
3) Determine the efficiency curves of the buck-boost converter used and the system's output voltage under different loads.
Experimental results showed the control system was able to maintain a constant voltage output and efficiently convert the turbine's variable voltage to a regulated output voltage while enabling safe shutdown and restart. This ensures the safe and effective operation of the small wind turbine.
Although the probability of failures of electrical equipment such as switchgear, transformers, protection systems and ancillary equipment are low, the consequences of failure can be substantial. It is therefore vital to keep up the switchgear safe and reliable. This 2-day course is aimed at owners, operators and users of electrical switchgear in industrial and commercial organisations in both high and low voltage networks, plant and equipment. This training course will deal with the issues around design, maintaining and operating switchgear safe. It provides the latest UK industry practices and incorporates the very latest R&D work being undertaken by UK electricity utilities. It will help managers, engineers and others to understand their responsibilities and duties in the selection, use, operation and maintenance of high-voltage switchgear. Safety issues associated with switchgear and the non-invasive diagnostic techniques in use today will be fully discussed. Degradation processes are well determined with the latest monitoring techniques as well as typical failure modes in switchgear and other electrical equipment. By using historic performance information, failure data coupled to modern diagnostic information and simple but effective asset management techniques the risk of failure can be considerably reduced. The learning process is also aided by the use of practical advice and case examples.
The document discusses assessing the health of a healthcare facility's electrical power distribution system. It recommends having experienced professional electrical engineers perform comprehensive assessments to evaluate reliability, code compliance, and risks. Assessments are useful for determining maintenance and replacement needs, improving system reliability, and reducing liability risks. The process involves evaluating transformers, equipment, installations, rooms, and generators on-site while following safety protocols and clarifying the scope of work.
This webinar covered modeling and studies of inverter-based resources on the bulk power system. It discussed NERC's Inverter-Based Resource Performance Task Force activities, including industry efforts to update dynamic models of solar and battery resources. Modeling studies by CAISO and SCE identified potential instability issues under high solar penetration scenarios if resources employ momentary cessation. Proposed changes to momentary cessation settings were shown to maintain stability based on updated dynamic models and NERC Alert data. Future efforts discussed developing more accurate generic inverter-based resource models and validating their behavior under low short circuit conditions.

This document discusses designing an app to improve communication between Creekside Middle School teachers and parents. It found that parental involvement has decreased since 2004, which correlates with lower student test scores. The proposed solution is to create an app with three tabs for student activities (sports, academics, extracurricular clubs), and to prioritize launching the app for parents of 7th graders who currently receive the fewest school updates. The document outlines analyzing usage data, building a first version, testing and iterating it, then launching the app and exploring improvements for future versions.

This document outlines the objectives and content of a course on microprocessors and their applications. The course aims to introduce students to the architecture, programming, and interfacing of 8085 and 8086 microprocessors as well as 8051 microcontrollers. The five units cover the 8085 CPU and peripheral interfacing, the 8086 CPU, 8051 microcontrollers, 8051 programming and applications. Key topics include architecture, instruction sets, addressing modes, assembly language programming, interrupts, memory interfacing, I/O interfacing, and interfacing with peripherals like serial ports, parallel ports, timers and counters.
The document discusses intersymbol interference (ISI) in baseband data transmission. ISI arises from deviations in a communication channel's frequency response from ideal, causing received pulses to be affected by neighboring pulses. This can be mitigated by matched filtering to maximize signal-to-noise ratio or by controlling the received pulse shape when noise is negligible. ISI causes the sampled output to depend on neighboring transmitted bits. Distortionless transmission requires designing transmit and receive filters such that only the desired bit contributes to the sampled output.
