The concept of injecting photovoltaic power into the utility grid has earned widespread acceptance in these days of renewable energy generation & distribution. Grid-connected inverters have evolved significantly with high diversity. Efficiency, size, weight, reliability etc. have all improved significantly with the development of modern and innovative inverter configurations and these factors have influenced the cost of producing inverters. This paper presents a literature review of the recent technological developments and trends in the Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems (GCPVS). In countries with high penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) resources, GCPVS have been shown to cause unwanted stress on the electrical grid. A review of the existing and future standards that addresses the technical challenges associated with the growing number of GCPVS is presented. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), Solar Tracking (ST) and the use of transform-less inverters can all lead to high efficiency gains of Photovoltaic (PV) systems while ensuring minimal interference with the grid. Inverters that support ancillary services like reactive power control, frequency regulation and energy storage are critical for mitigating the challenges caused by the growing adoption of GCPVS.

This study depicts the electric field distributions inside a typical 500/220 kV open distribution substation under actual loading conditions and during different working conditions, Hot-Stick position and Bar-Hand position. The electric field is investigated for different workers heights of 1m, 1.5m and 1.8m above ground during normal working condition (Hot-Stick position) inside this substation. This in addition to assessment of the electric field at a height levels of 8m, 11m, 14m and 17m above ground as positions for live line maintenance under 220 kV Busbars, 500 kV Busbars, 220 kV Incoming and Outgoing feeders and 500 kV Incoming and Outgoing feeders respectively. In this study the simulation results of the electric field obtained using three dimensional (3D) computer model for existing typical high voltage transformation substation are compared with field values measured inside this typical substation and presented and discussed not only in the form of contour maps but also in the form 3D surface and wireframe maps. The simulation results are good matched and agreed with measured values. This in addition to the electric field will be tabulated and compared to international guidelines for personnel exposure to electric field. This study will serve for planning service works or for inspection of equipment inside high voltage (HV) power transformation substations.

The grounding system is essential to protect people working or walking in the vicinity of earthed facilities and equipments against the danger of electric shock. This paper provides the floor surface either assures an effective insulation from earth potential or effectively equipment to a close mesh grid. Calculations of grounding grid system in the substation area which the top soil layer resistivity is less than the bottom layer resistivity, can lessen the number of ground rod used in the grid because the value of Ground Potential Rise GPR is insignificantly different. Essential equations are used in the design of grounding system to get desired parameters such as touch and step voltage criteria for safety, earth resistance, grid resistance, maximum grid current, minimum conductor size and electrode size, maximum fault current level and resistivity of soil. Calculations of three separate earthing body earth, neutral earth and main earthing are described.

A Review and Aspects of High Altitude Wind Power GenerationAyyarao T S L V
With the consciousness on green energy as well as the positive industrial growth outlook, the energy gap between the demand and supply has to be filled by renewable energy sources alone. This paved for a renewed interest in wind energy systems. Though there is a good research already been done in low altitude wind power extraction, the focus on high altitude wind energy systems is undermined. There is a tremendous scope as well as challenges associated with these systems. This paper investigates the paradigms, generator selection, generation control and transmission modes of high altitude wind energy systems. Also various aspects of feasibility, installation and control methods are critically reviewed.
The most important components of the distributed generation frameworks is the GTIs which is an interface amidst the utility and the source of energy. The recent years have seen an increased interest in the design and usage of GTIs due to its smaller weight and size, low cost and higher efficiency. But the problem of leakage currents in the transformerless inverter that is dependant on its topology and control scheme needs to be looked into carefully. Also, the high performance of the GTI requires a stringent control and various control systems are being developed and applied to the GTIs. This paper reviews the various topologies that are classified based on the attributes of the leakage current and the method of decoupling. Further it reviews and compares the different control techniques applied to the GTIs with respect to the frame of reference, controller, modulation technique and the control parameters considered.

Summary of the present (5/09) state of the research and facilities in the Center for Superconducting and Magnetic Materials (CSMM). Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Ohio State University
This paper suggests the theory of distance protection criteria in power distribution systems for power plant generation. Multi-developed countries have energy power plants that placed in remote areas which are far from the grid line. Hence, they should be coupled to the low power transportation systems necessarily. While higher-rating relays are adopted to preserve feeders at power substations, fuses are merely obtainable outside on feeder channel. The safe system process, space protection is dispatched to save feeders. In this review, feeders with distance relays are equipped, together with over-current protection relays and fuses. Energy power plant having distance protection system is designed the implemented system was a 6-MW unit of compressed power energy reproduction. The sample feeder was shortened to be equal four-bus experiment feeder for transmitting resolution. The fault currents have chances adopted to form protecting regions of distance relays. Protection of the power line through the designed power plants for distance relaying can decrease problem in relay location because of the impedance-based location of the distance relay.
Effect of HVTL Phase Transposition on Pipelines Induced Voltageijeei-iaes
In this work, a study of the effect of the phase conductor transposition for a multi-circuit high voltage power transmission lines on the induced voltage on a buried pipeline was conducted and considered through modelling. The modelling was done applying Carson’s concept of mutual impedances for a double circuit, three circuits and four circuit power transmission line on a buried pipeline. The simulated results obtained showed that the transmission line with un-transposed phase combination has the greater effect on the induced voltage while for the one or more of the other combinations, a cancellation or reduction can occur. This also is dependent on the tower geometry and the relative position of the pipeline and the transmission line. Also, the magnitude of the induced voltage increases with increasing number of circuits.

Analysis and Implementation of Power Quality Enhancement Techniques Using Cus...ijtsrd
Traditional power production has become challenging for utilities due to the depletion of fossil fuels, coal, and oil. This must be done in a less expensive and more efficient manner. To meet the consumers power needs, a new source is needed. The alternative source should be sustainable and capable of fulfilling the needs of the customer. The incorporation of renewable energy into the grid is a helpful method of meeting demand. The integration of renewable energy has three main challenges frequency fluctuation, power quality issues, and power system instability. The following issues were critical in nature. An expert system based on an analytic hierarchy method is used to detect and classify power quality issues. Previously, it could detect sag, swell, transients, harmonics, interruptions, and flickers. A method for categorizing events that is error free has been proposed. The streamlined process provides for more accurate identification and classification of power quality issues. an examination of power quality issues and their mitigation via the use of unified power quality conditioners UPQC To reduce different power quality problems, an Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System ANFIS is employed. Using renewable energy sources effectively reduces environmental impact. The proposed technique corrects voltage imbalances and reduces overall harmonic distortion at the point of common connection PCC . The installation of an ANFIS controlled DVR is utilized to minimize voltage fluctuations induced by the integration of renewable energy sources and transmission line failures. With the aim of using renewable energy, a fake fault was introduced to power quality events. The ANFIS controlled DVR plan is in place to mitigate the negative impacts of power quality events. ANFIS controlled DVR is compared to a conventional surveillance method. Nonlinear loads generate voltage flickers and total harmonic distortion, therefore a distributed static compensator D STATCOM is employed to avoid these. It is recommended that D STATCOM use three control methods instantaneous power theory, synchronous vector PI control, and harmonic elimination. The D efficacy of STATCOMs is tested under severe load conditions. Various control methods will be used to evaluate and debate the proposed expert system and customized power devices.

The integration of renewable energy into the grid is a useful way to fulfill demand. Renewable energy integration confronts three major problems frequency variation, power quality concerns, and power system instability. The following problems were of critical importance. An analytic hierarchy approach based expert system is utilized to identify and categorize power quality incidents.

Simplified procedure allows for improved detection and categorization of power quality incidents. an investigation of power quality incidents and their mitigation using unified power quality conditioners UPQC An Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System ANFIS is used to minimize various power quality issues. Integrating renewable energy sources efficiently minimizes the environmental impact. The suggested method provides a solution to voltage unbalances and lowers overall harmonic distortion at the point of common coupling PCC . The addition of an ANFIS controlled DVR is used to reduce voltage irregularities caused by integrating renewable energy sources and faults in the transmission line. An artificial fault was added to power quality events with the goal of making use of renewable energy. To minimize the adverse effects of power quality incidents, the ANFIS controlled DVR proposal is in place. ANFIS controlled DVR is contrasted to a traditional technique of surveillance. Distributed static compensator D STATCOM is used to prevent voltage flickers, and total harmonic distortion, caused by nonlinear loads. D STATCOM is suggested to use three control methods Instantaneous power theory, Synchronous vector PI Control, and Harmonic elimination. Under extreme load circumstances, the D efficacy STATCOMs is evaluated. The suggested expert system and the bespoke power devices will be analyzed and discussed using various control techniques.

The electric field is investigated for different workers heights of 1m, 1.5m and 1.8m above ground during normal working condition (Hot-Stick position) inside this substation. This in addition to assessment of the electric field at a height levels of 8m, 11m, 14m and 17m above ground as positions for live line maintenance under 220 kV Busbars, 500 kV Busbars, 220 kV Incoming and Outgoing feeders and 500 kV Incoming and Outgoing feeders respectively. In this study the simulation results of the electric field obtained using three dimensional (3D) computer model for existing typical high voltage transformation substation are compared with field values measured inside this typical substation and presented and discussed not only in the form of contour maps but also in the form 3D surface and wireframe maps. The simulation results are good matched and agreed with measured values. This in addition to the electric field will be tabulated and compared to international guidelines for personnel exposure to electric field. This study will serve for planning service works or for inspection of equipment inside high voltage (HV) power transformation substations.
This paper presents 230 66 kV, substation grounding system and calculation results of required parameters. The grounding system is essential to protect people working or walking in the vicinity of earthed facilities and equipments against the danger of electric shock. This paper provides the floor surface either assures an effective insulation from earth potential or effectively equipment to a close mesh grid. Calculations of grounding grid system in the substation area which the top soil layer resistivity is less than the bottom layer resistivity, can lessen the number of ground rod used in the grid because the value of Ground Potential Rise GPR is insignificantly different. Essential equations are used in the design of grounding system to get desired parameters such as touch and step voltage criteria for safety, earth resistance, grid resistance, maximum grid current, minimum conductor size and electrode size, maximum fault current level and resistivity of soil. Calculations of three separate earthing body earth, neutral earth and main earthing are described.

A Review and Aspects of High Altitude Wind Power GenerationAyyarao T S L V
With the consciousness on green energy as well as the positive industrial growth outlook, the energy gap between the demand and supply has to be filled by renewable energy sources alone. This paved for a renewed interest in wind energy systems. Though there is a good research already been done in low altitude wind power extraction, the focus on high altitude wind energy systems is undermined. There is a tremendous scope as well as challenges associated with these systems. This paper investigates the paradigms, generator selection, generation control and transmission modes of high altitude wind energy systems. Also various aspects of feasibility, installation and control methods are critically reviewed.
The most important components of the distributed generation frameworks is the GTIs which is an interface amidst the utility and the source of energy. The recent years have seen an increased interest in the design and usage of GTIs due to its smaller weight and size, low cost and higher efficiency. But the problem of leakage currents in the transformerless inverter that is dependant on its topology and control scheme needs to be looked into carefully. Also, the high performance of the GTI requires a stringent control and various control systems are being developed and applied to the GTIs. This paper reviews the various topologies that are classified based on the attributes of the leakage current and the method of decoupling. Further it reviews and compares the different control techniques applied to the GTIs with respect to the frame of reference, controller, modulation technique and the control parameters considered.

Summary of the present (5/09) state of the research and facilities in the Center for Superconducting and Magnetic Materials (CSMM). Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Ohio State University
This paper suggests the theory of distance protection criteria in power distribution systems for power plant generation. Multi-developed countries have energy power plants that placed in remote areas which are far from the grid line. Hence, they should be coupled to the low power transportation systems necessarily. While higher-rating relays are adopted to preserve feeders at power substations, fuses are merely obtainable outside on feeder channel. The safe system process, space protection is dispatched to save feeders. In this review, feeders with distance relays are equipped, together with over-current protection relays and fuses. Energy power plant having distance protection system is designed the implemented system was a 6-MW unit of compressed power energy reproduction. The sample feeder was shortened to be equal four-bus experiment feeder for transmitting resolution. The fault currents have chances adopted to form protecting regions of distance relays. Protection of the power line through the designed power plants for distance relaying can decrease problem in relay location because of the impedance-based location of the distance relay.
Effect of HVTL Phase Transposition on Pipelines Induced Voltageijeei-iaes
In this work, a study of the effect of the phase conductor transposition for a multi-circuit high voltage power transmission lines on the induced voltage on a buried pipeline was conducted and considered through modelling. The modelling was done applying Carson’s concept of mutual impedances for a double circuit, three circuits and four circuit power transmission line on a buried pipeline. The simulated results obtained showed that the transmission line with un-transposed phase combination has the greater effect on the induced voltage while for the one or more of the other combinations, a cancellation or reduction can occur. This also is dependent on the tower geometry and the relative position of the pipeline and the transmission line. Also, the magnitude of the induced voltage increases with increasing number of circuits.

Traditional power production has become challenging for utilities due to the depletion of fossil fuels, coal, and oil. This must be done in a less expensive and more efficient manner. To meet the consumers power needs, a new source is needed. The alternative source should be sustainable and capable of fulfilling the needs of the customer. The incorporation of renewable energy into the grid is a helpful method of meeting demand. The integration of renewable energy has three main challenges frequency fluctuation, power quality issues, and power system instability. The following issues were critical in nature. An expert system based on an analytic hierarchy method is used to detect and classify power quality issues. Previously, it could detect sag, swell, transients, harmonics, interruptions, and flickers. A method for categorizing events that is error free has been proposed. The streamlined process provides for more accurate identification and classification of power quality issues. an examination of power quality issues and their mitigation via the use of unified power quality conditioners UPQC To reduce different power quality problems, an Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System ANFIS is employed. Using renewable energy sources effectively reduces environmental impact. The proposed technique corrects voltage imbalances and reduces overall harmonic distortion at the point of common connection PCC . The installation of an ANFIS controlled DVR is utilized to minimize voltage fluctuations induced by the integration of renewable energy sources and transmission line failures. With the aim of using renewable energy, a fake fault was introduced to power quality events. The ANFIS controlled DVR plan is in place to mitigate the negative impacts of power quality events. ANFIS controlled DVR is compared to a conventional surveillance method. Nonlinear loads generate voltage flickers and total harmonic distortion, therefore a distributed static compensator D STATCOM is employed to avoid these. It is recommended that D STATCOM use three control methods instantaneous power theory, synchronous vector PI control, and harmonic elimination. The D efficacy of STATCOMs is tested under severe load conditions. Various control methods will be used to evaluate and debate the proposed expert system and customized power devices.

Development of Smart Grid Interoperability for Energy Efficiency Systemsijtsrd
The power grid is at present undergoing a chronological transform of state from the conventional structure where a utility owns the generation, transmission and distribution services into an integrated smart grid in a monopolistic market which introduce consumers as active players in managing and controlling the power. This report provides development of smart grid interoperability for energy efficiency. A systematic approach for developing smart grid interoperability tests was adopted by analyzing two houses, two industries and two institutions while looking at the analysis of their active power. This analysis of active power gives the exact idea to know the range of maximum permissible loads that can be connected to their relevant bus bars. This project presents the change in the value of Active Power with varying load angle in context with small signal analysis using wind, solar and generator grid . The result obtained showed that, consumers can then choose the cheapest energy to be consumed at convenience with a major focus on the institutional results which showed that, with either solar or wind they can have constant supply for a period between 8am to 10pm on daily basis, since their major operations are done in the day.

A deterministic method of distributed generation hosting capacity calculatio...IJECEIAES
Global warming has become a significant concern over the past decades. As a result, governments have shifted their policies toward renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly industries. This approach requires a renewal of the electrical networks to accommodate this new intermittent generation (from solar and wind sources) while remaining stable and reliable. In this vision, the notion of hosting capacity has been introduced to define the amount of new distributed generation that an electrical network can host without affecting its stability and reliability. This study proposes a deterministic method based on the π model of cables to estimate the underground feeder's hosting capacity. This method considers reverse power flow, overvoltage, reconfiguration, overloading, and the physical characteristics of lines. It is applied to the Moroccan medium voltage underground radial feeder. Through DIgSILENT power factory software, the power flow analysis is carried out to validate its effectiveness in overcoming overvoltage and cable overload problems. The results validate the relevance of our method, its reliability, its fluidity of application, and its ability to maintain performance indices within the acceptable range.
Exponential growth in the energy demand on account of rising population and economic growth,
increasing apprehensions of energy security coupled with climate change and global warming concerns are some
of the major drivers for pushing the renewable energy (RE) to the top of the energy portfolio. Among various
renewable energy resources, wind and solar PV systems are experiencing rapid growth since 2010. By the end of
2016, the world total capacity of wind power generation was 487 GW and that of solar PV was 303 GW,
aggregating to a penetration level of 4.0% and 1.5% respectively. Global renewable energy penetration till Dec.
2016, excluding conventional hydro share (of 16.6%) was only around 8.0%. However, many countries have set
target of 30% RE based electricity generation by 2030. India has an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of RE
power by 2022, with 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from biomass and 5 GW from small hydro.
Power generation from renewables often takes place through distributed generation (DG). These units, mostly
located in remote locations, are not centrally planned or dispatched, and are usually connected to distribution grids
at LV or MV levels. In few cases, large capacity RE generation are also connected to transmission networks. As a
result, the power generation structure is moving from the large, centralized plants to a mixed generation pool
consisting of traditional large plants and many smaller DG units. Most of the RE generators have electrical
characteristics that are different from the synchronous machines. Since a large group of DG technologies use
power electronics converters for grid connectivity, they introduce many technical issues related to the operation,
control and protection of the power system, impacting generators, transmission system and consumer devices.
This paper presents some of the technical issues and challenges that need to be addressed for the effective
grid integration of RE based power generators so that eventually, our reliance on polluting and expensive fossilbased
hydro-carbon driven power generation can be reduced substantially.
A Review on Integration of Wind Turbines in Distributed Generation Power Systemijtsrd
Wind power is one of the mostly used renewable source of energy generated in recent decades. To be systems that are directly connected to the grid system, it is important to use the high voltage and get the high voltage converted from the turbine. Energy storage is needed to operate the electrical system efficiently. These storage areas are continuously controlled to coincide with the generation and operation of the system and, thus, to maintain the electrical frequency in prescribed limits. They are usually provided with standard integrated composite units such as hydraulic or thermal power plants. With the continuous depletion of these generating plants for non synchronous power plants e.g. wind and solar the rate of saturation of the synchronization power in the system decreases. Speed instability of wind presents the incredible difficulty of planning the wind power available in advance. For this reason, the purpose of this paper is to introduce the techniques developed in recent years and, as such, provide a control solution that mimics the conditions of various wind turbines.

Multilevel inverters act as a promising solution for medium voltage, high power applications due to their modularity and reduced voltage stress across the switches. Cascaded T Bridge Multilevel Inverters CTB MLI are being considered as the best choice for grid connected Photovoltaic PV systems since they require several sources on the DC side. By means of MLI’s, high quality output with less harmonic distortion is obtained compared to a two level inverter. In this work, a comparative analysis of three levels of MLI’s is presented. Control scheme based on Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation SPWM is adopted due to its ease of implementation. More number of levels results in reduced THD and nearly sinusoidal output.

Analysis and Implementation of Power Quality Enhancement Techniques in Hybrid...ijtsrd
With the growth in global warming, renewable energy based distributed generators DGs play a prominent role in power generation. Wind, solar energy, biomass, mini hydro, and the usage of fuel cells and microturbines will provide substantial impetus in the near future. Environmental friendliness, expandability, and flexibility have made distributed generation, powered by a variety of renewable and unconventional energy sources, an appealing alternative for building contemporary electrical systems. A microgrid is made up of a group of loads and dispersed generators that work together to form a single controlled system. Microgrids, as an integrated energy delivery system, may function in tandem with or independently of the main power grid. The microgrid idea reduces the number of reverse conversions in a single AC or DC grid while also making it easier to link variable renewable AC and DC sources and loads to power systems. The connectivity of DGs to the utility grid through power electronic converters has raised concerns regarding equipment safety and protection. The microgrid may be configured to fulfil the customers specific needs, such as greater local dependability, reduced feeder losses, local voltage support, greater efficiency via waste heat usage, voltage sag correction, or uninterruptible power supply. The performance of a hybrid AC DC microgrid system in grid tethered mode is examined in this paper. For the creation of a microgrid, a solar system, a wind turbine generator, and a battery are utilized. Control methods are also included to allow the converters to appropriately coordinate the AC sub grid with the DC sub grid. The MATLAB SIMULINK environment was used to achieve the findings.

As the rapid development of photovoltaic (PV) technology in recent years with the growth of electricity demand, integration of photovoltaic distributed generation (PVDG) to the distribution system is emerging to fulfil the demand. There are benefits and drawbacks to the distribution system due to the penetration of PVDG. This paper discussed and investigated the impacts of PVDG location and size on distribution power systems. The medium voltage distribution network is connected to the grid with the load being supplied by PVDG. Load flow and short circuit calculation are analyzed by using DigSILENT Power Factory Software. Comparisons have been made between the typical distribution system and the distribution system with the penetration of PVDG. Impacts in which PVDG location and size integrates with distribution system are investigated with the results given from the load flow and short circuit analysis. The results indicate positive impacts on the system interconnected with PVDG such as improving voltage profile, reducing power losses, releasing transmission and distribution grid capacity. It also shows that optimal locations and sizes of DGs are needed to minimize the system’s power losses. On the other hand, it shows that PVDG interconnection to the system can cause reverse power flow at improper DG size and location and increases short circuit level.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

ABSTRACT
The concept of injecting photovoltaic power into the
utility grid has earned widespread acceptance in these
days of renewable energy generation & distribution.
Grid-connected inverters have evolved significantly
with high diversity. Efficiency, size, weight,
reliability etc. have all improved significantly with the
development of modern and innovative inverter
configurations and these factors have influenced the
cost of producing inverters.
This paper presents a literature review of the recent
technological developments and trends in the Grid-
Connected Photovoltaic Systems (GCPVS). In
countries with high penetration of Distributed
Generation (DG) resources, GCPVS have been shown
to cause unwanted stress on the electrical grid. A
review of the existing and future standards that
addresses the technical challenges associated with the
growing number of GCPVS is presented. Maximum
Power Point Tracking (MPPT), Solar Tracking (ST)
and the use of transform-less inverters can all lead to
high efficiency gains of Photovoltaic (PV) systems
while ensuring minimal interference with the grid.
Inverters that support ancillary services like reactive
power control, frequency regulation and energy
storage are critical for mitigating the challenges
caused by the growing adoption of GCPVS.

I. INTRODUCTION
Renewable energy is increasingly considered essential
for meeting current and future energy needs [1].
Photovoltaic (PV) power, as it is clean and unlimited
source of energy, is probably the best technology
amongst all renewable energy sources and therefore a
considerable amount of research has been conducted
recently in this field. To better utilize the PV power,
grid interconnection of PV system is needed. PV
power rendering to the utility grid has been the fastest
growing renewable energy technology by far since it
attracted the attention of policy makers [2].
It is generally accepted in the scientific community
that human activity is affecting climate change and
that a majority of this impact comes from fossil fuel
combustion caused by the electric utility industry. In
2012, 32% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in
the U.S. was from the electric power industry, the
highest of all sectors. Conventional fossil-fuel
generating facilities have in past met the majority of
global electrical energy demands. However,
environmental and climate change implications of
fossil fuel-based generation present serious challenges
to society and the environment. Distributed
Generation (DG), particularly Photovoltaic (PV)
systems, provides a means of mitigating these
challenges by generating electricity directly from
sunlight. Unlike off-grid PV systems, Grid-Connected
Photovoltaic Systems (GCPVS) operate in parallel
with the electric utility grid and as a result they
require no storage systems. Since GCPVS supply
power back to the grid when producing excess
electricity (i.e., when generated power is greater than
the local load demand), GCPVS help offset
greenhouse gas emissions by displacing the power
needed by the connected (local) load and providing
additional electricity to the grid. As such, during peak
solar hours (maximum solar irradiance), fewer
conventional generation plants are needed. In
addition, GCPVS reduce Transmission and
Distribution (T&D) losses. Although average T&D
losses amounted to 5.7% in the U.S. in 2010, losses
during peak hours are higher [3]. For example, the
estimated T&D losses for Southern California Edison
and Pacific Gas & Electric exceeded 10% in 2010 [4].

Locating DG assets close to loads can help to partially
mitigate these losses.
In this paper, we focus our attention on the growing
adoption of GCPVS and the technical challenges
posed by the mass proliferation of these DG systems
on the overall performance and reliability of the
electric grid. A review of the standards governing the
safe installation, operation and maintenance of
GCPVS, and the known methods of improving
efficiency of PV systems are presented. Some
transformer-less topologies based on half-bridge, full-
bridge configuration and multilevel concept, and
some soft-switching inverter topologies are remarked
as desirable for grid-connected single-phase PV
inverters with respect to high efficiency, low cost, and
compact structure. We also focus on the role of the
inverter as an active grid participant. Inverters
designed with the ability to support electric grid
ancillary services will become the norm in the
foreseeable future, especially in light of the growing
number of small and large-scale GCPVS that are
being brought on-line.
II. STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
OF GRID-CONNECTED PV INVERTER
The Distribution Network Operators are responsible
for providing safe, reliable and good quality electric
power to its customers. The PV industry needs to be
aware of the issues related to safety and power quality
and assist in setting standards as this would ultimately
lead to an increased acceptance of the grid-connected
PV inverter technology by users and the electricity
utility industry. And for the system to be operated
safely and reliably, these standards must be adopted,
which will cater to build electricity consumer's trust,
reduce costs and further flourish grid-connected PV
inverter development. There are several standards on
the market dealing with the interconnection of PV
energy sources with the utility grid like International
Electro technical Commission (IEC), Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
National Electrical Code (NEC).
These standards fix the limits for the inverter voltage
changes, its operating frequency changes, power
factor, harmonics in the current injected into grid,
injection of DC current into the grid to avoid
distribution transformers saturation [5] and also
address grounding issue. These also contain
information regarding islanding of PV systems when
the utility grid is not connected to control voltage and
frequency of the inverter, as well as techniques to
avoid islanding of PV energy sources. In islanding
state, the utility grid has been removed from the
inverter, which then only supplies power to local
loads. In addition to these standards, there are a few
more among which the IEEE 1373 standard
recommends practice for field test methods and
procedures for grid-connected PV system, IEC 62116
standard recommends test procedure of islanding
prevention measures for grid-connected PV inverters,
IEC 61173 standard gives guidance on overvoltage
protection for PV power generating system, IEC
61683 recommends the procedure for measuring
efficiency of the PV system.
III. THE GROWING TRENDS OF GRID-
CONNECTED PV SYSTEMS
The PV industry is expected to continue to grow due
to several factors like the falling prices of silicon and
PV modules, technological advancements in large
scale manufacturing, many governmental incentives,
maturation and proliferation of favorable
interconnection agreements and continued
technological improvement of power converter
technologies. For example, the cost of manufacturing
PV modules has reduced dramatically, from over 100
per watt in the 1970s to less than 1.00 per watt in
2014 [6]. In fact, large-scale wholesale orders can
result in prices below $0.60 per watt [7].
Fig. 1 shows the amount of net generation of solar PV
in the U.S. from 2004 to 2014. This figure backs the
claims that the growing popularity of Solar PV is a
trend that will continue to rise. Although our survey
yielded mixed reports as to when PV solar will be at
grid parity with traditional generation sources, a
common underlying theme among many researchers
is that this will likely happen sooner than later. The
Rocky Mountain Institute recently released a report
that suggests that grid parity will be achievable by
2030 [8]. Scientists at the Argonne National Lab in
Illinois have argued that this may happen by 2025
while the National Renewable Energy Laboratory
(NREL) have publicly suggested that due to the rapid
growth of GCPVS, grid parity may even happen as
early as 2017 [9].In a survey of select International
Energy Agency (IEA) member countries released in

2013, of the total installed PV systems, more than
99% were estimated to be grid-connected. Utility-
scale installations with large systems are beginning to
make up for a sizable share of the PV market. In the
U.S. alone, the utility sector was responsible for about
two-thirds of the total new installations in the third
quarter of 2014.

2013, by system capacity, utility-scale installations

The rise in the number of GCPVS, especially from the
utility sector, does not come as a surprise, especially
given that many governmental and regulatory bodies
tend to promote programs aimed at expanding DG
resources like GCPVS.
IV. ISSUES CAUSED IN GRID-CONNECTED
PV SYSTEMS
As the overall costs of installing and owning GCPVS
systems are declining, residential, commercial and
utility scale adoption of this technology is on the rise.
Although there are many benefits of GCPVS, such as
its long working life (25–30 years), low operations
and maintenance costs and obvious environmental
advantages over fossil-fuel power plants, however,
GCPVS have their own set of challenges. A number
of scholarly works have suggested that the mass
adoption and proliferation of GCPVS could create
enormous stress on the electric grid.
The root of problem is the inherent functional nature
of GCPVS, primarily because their output generation
decreases as the sun goes down. Consequently, they
are unable to adequately contribute to the grid when
demand increases in the hours following sunset (when
demand for electricity is greatest). During this period,
electric utilities ramp their generation from
conventional generation plants to meet this surge in
demand. The California Independent System Operator
(CAISO) created the duck curve (Fig. 3) to show the
impact of GCPVS on the electric grid’s operations
based on CAISO׳s real-time analysis and forecast of
electricity net demand from 2012 to 2020. The net
demand load represents the amount of conventional
generation plants (excluding renewable) that will need
to be on-line during different times of the day.

Zones (a) and (b) in the duck curve represents the
morning and mid-day net demand loads respectively.
Zone (b) has the least predictability because the

GCPVS) will cause a reduction in conventional
generation. It is also important to note that there is an
increased risk of over generation in this zone. Finally,

unpredictability of DG resources (especially solar and
wind) means that utility providers may not be able to
properly control and plan for the variable system
electricity demand. According to CAISO,
ramps, over-generation and the resulting impact on
frequency response will need to be quickly addressed
as more GCPVS are installed, commissioned and
connected to the grid.
There are a number of solutions to these problems.
Because traditional generation resources (steam
combustion turbines and nuclear plants) take hours to
start and ramp up, investment in generation plants
capable of fast ramping, especially gas
reciprocating engines and simple-cycle combustion
turbines, can help mitigate the effects of the stress on
the grid. Such resources serve as spinning reserves,
operated on an “as-needed” basis to fill the gap
created by non-dispatchable DG resources. Such new
investments, however, may not be the most cost
effective solution since their full nameplate capacity
is rarely utilized. In addition, these facilities will take
several years to plan, design and permit, and they will
depend on fossil fuels.
A preferred solution may be to couple the non
dispatchable DG resources like GCPVS with
storage systems that extend their operation by an extra
hour or two after the sun begins to set. Such a strategy
would negate the need for rapid ramping of reserves
as GCPV output begins to decreases at sunset, thereby
flattening the evening peak in zone (c) of the duck
curve (Fig. 3) towards zone (b).
V. DIFFERENT TOPOLOGIES OF GRID
CONNECTED PV INVERTER
In the grid-connected PV system, the DC power of the
PV array should be converted into the AC power with
proper voltage magnitude, frequency and phase to be
connected to the utility grid. Under this condition, a
DC-to-AC converter which is better known as
is required. here are various kinds of grid

In the self-commutated inverters may be voltage
source inverter (VSI) or current source inverter (CSI)
based on voltage or current waveforms at their input
DC side. In VSI, the input side is a DC voltage
source, the input voltage holds the same polarity, the
average power flow direction through the inverter is
determined by the polarity of the input DC current,
and at the output side, an AC voltage waveform of the
constant amplitude and variable width can be
obtained. To limit current flow from the inverter to
the utility grid a tie line inductor is used along with
VSI. The input DC side terminals of a VSI are
typically connected in parallel with a relatively large
capacitor that resembles a voltage source.

In CSI, the input side is a DC current source, the input
current holds the same polarity, and therefore the
average power flow direction through the inverter is
determined by the polarity of the input voltage and at
the output side, an AC current waveform of the
constant amplitude and variable width can be
obtained. The input DC side of the CSI is typically
connected in series with a relatively large inductor
that maintains the current continuity. A VSI can be
operated in voltage control mode as well as in current-
control mode and in many times, VSI with current
control mode is preferred for grid-connected PV
system. In Table 1, some basic differences between a
VSI and a CSI are presented.

used because a high power factor can be obtained by a
simple control circuit, and also suppression of
transient current is possible when any grid
disturbances occur.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
Although the solar PV market has experienced
astronomical levels of growth and cost reductions in
recent years, there are many technical challenges and
economic realities that need to be reconciled in order
for DG resources like GCPVS to be at parity with
conventional generation. For successful mass
adoption of GCPVs, new technologies must be
developed that will allow the inverter to do more than
just provide DC/AC conversions. Modern grid-
interactive inverters will need to provide Volt/VAR
control (power factor and voltage stabilization),
frequency regulation, enable storage and utilize
modern communications protocols, all at a reasonable
cost. This new generation of inverters has been rightly
termed “smart inverters”.
Future GCPVS design will require inverters to
monitor, react to and adjust their output based on
instantaneous feedback from the grid. The inverter
will also be able to save and share data with the
facility management system for trending, predictive,
preventative and corrective maintenance. These new
breed of smart inverters will be able to log several
data like available battery storage hours and capacity
information, alarm on external events and provide day
to day power management information. Rethinking
the role and capability of the inverters can foster the
mass adaption of GCPVS and equally help to create
and support a more reliable grid.
