The electricity supply industry is undergoing a profound transformation worldwide. Market forces, scarcer natural resources, and an ever-increasing demand for electricity are some of the drivers responsible for such unprecedented change. Against this background of rapid evolution, the expansion programs of many utilities are being thwarted by a variety of well-founded, environment, land-use, and regulatory pressures that prevent the licensing and building of new transmission lines and electricity generating plants.
A flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) is a system composed of static equipment used for the AC transmission of electrical energy. It is meant to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability of the network. It is generally a power electronics-based system.
In conventional AC transmission system, the ability to transfer AC power is limited by several factors like thermal limits, transient stability limit, voltage limit, short circuit current limit etc. These limits define the maximum electric power which can be efficiently transmitted through the transmission line without causing any damage to the electrical equipments and the transmission lines. This is normally achieved by bringing changes in the power system layout. However this is not feasible and another way of achieving maximum power transfer capability without any changes in the power system layout. Also with the introduction of variable impedance devices like capacitors and inductors, whole of the energy or power from the source is not transferred to the load, but a part is stored in these devices as reactive power and returned back to the source. Thus the actual amount of power transferred to the load or the active power is always less than the apparent power or the net power. For ideal transmission the active power should be equal to the apparent power. In other words, the power factor (the ratio of active power to apparent power) should be unity. This is where the role of Flexible AC transmission System comes.
The concept of FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) refers to a family of power electronics-based devices able to enhance AC system controllability and stability and to increase power transfer capability.

Location of Shunt FACTS Devices for First-Swing Stability Enhancement in Inte...Editor IJMTER
This paper deals with the location of shunt FACTS devices to improve transient stability
in a long transmission line with predefined direction of real power flow. Shunt Flexible AC
Transmission System (FACTS) devices, when placed at the mid-point of a long transmission line,
play an important role in controlling the reactive power flow to the power network and hence both
the system voltage fluctuations and transient stability. The validity of the mid-point location of shunt
FACTS devices was verified using Simulink, with different shunt FACTS devices, namely static var
compensator (SVC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in a long transmission line
using the actual line model. It has been observed that the FACTS devices, when placed slightly offcentre towards sending-end, give better performance in improving transient stability and the location
depends on the amount of local/through load. The results are experimented and simulated on
MATLAB/Simulink environment.

An Overview of FACTS Controllers for Power Quality Improvementtheijes
Large penetration of non-conventional sources of energy (such as wind and solar) into the utility grid usually leads to power quality deterioration of the net system due to the intermittency nature associated with such energy sources. Power quality parameters that may likely be disturbed by such interconnection include voltage profile, frequency waveform, power factor, as well as active and reactive power of the power system. However, grid operators and consumers at all level of usage requires a perfectly balanced three phase a.c power of constant frequency and magnitude with smooth sinusoidal wave shape. In order to compensate for such disturbances, Flexible A.C Transmission System (FACTS) controllers were developed. This paper presents a technological review of different types of FACTS controllers and their application for power quality improvement in a grid network composing of conventional and non-conventional energy sources.
Efficacy of Facts in Power Oscillation Damping and Renewable IntegrationIOSRJEEE
This paper discusses about the approach towards effective power oscillation damping, root causes for the genesis of power oscillation and various methodologies adopted to eradicate it.This paper presents an unified approach of FACTS controller installation in order to ensure effective power oscillation damping. The power oscillations, if not controlled within time, may aggravate the entire power system’s functioning and ultimate outcome as blackout. The network congestion has been a matter of serious concern to utility operations due to classical transmission corridors and inadequate controllers’ deployment. The necessity of system regulations demands an adequate controller for matching the power requirement variability and this has been demonstrated with STATCOM control feature. This controller enhances the Available Transfer Capability along with security and reliability. IEEE 14 Bus system is simulated and studied with various scenarios with the help of MATLAB and PSAT to identify various complexities and to resolve these issues so as to enhance the ATC, reliability and security
A New approach for controlling the power flow in a transmission system using ...IJMER
Electrical power systems is a large interconnected network that requires a careful design to maintain the system with continuous power flow operation without any limitation. Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) is an application of a power electronics device to control the power flow and to improve the system stability of a power system. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a new concept for the compensation and effective power flow control in a transmission system.Through common DC link, any inverters within the UPFC is able to transfer real power to any other and there by facilitate real power transfer among the line. In this paper a test system is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results of the network with and without UPFC are compared and when the voltage sag is compensated, reactive power is controlled and transmission line efficiency is improved.

Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor with Automatic Controlijiert bestjournal
An increasingly competitive market where economic a nd environmental pressures limit their scope to expand transmission facilities.The optimiz ation of transmission corridors for power transfer has become a great importance. In this sce nario,the FACTS technology is an attractive option for increasing system operation flexibility [1],New developments in high-current,high- power electronics are making it possible to control electronically the power flows on the high voltage side of the network during both steady stat e and transient operation. In this paper a series controller from the Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) family called as �Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor� (TCSC) is designed using PIC microcontroller. Thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC),is the first generation of FACTS controller,can govern line impedance through introduction of a thy ristor controlled capacitor in series with the transmission line. A grid of transmission lines ope rating at high voltages is required to transmit power from generating stations to load. In addition to transmission lines that carry power from source to load,modern power systems are highly int erconnected for economic reasons.
TEACHING AND LEARNING BASED OPTIMISATIONUday Wankar
Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) seems to be a rising star from amongst a number of metaheuristics with relatively competitive performances. It is reported that it outperforms some of the well-known metaheuristics regarding constrained benchmark functions, constrained mechanical design, and continuous non-linear numerical optimization problems. Such a breakthrough has steered us towards investigating the secrets of TLBO’s dominance. This report’s findings on TLBO qualitatively and quantitatively through code-reviews and experiments, respectively.
It is a selection of best element (with regard to some criteria) from some set of available alternatives. In the simplest case, an optimization problem consist of maximizing or minimizing a real function by choosing input values from within an allowed set and computing the value of function. The classical optimization techniques are useful in finding the optimum solution or unconstrained maxima or minima of continuous and differentiable functions. These are analytical methods and make use of differential calculus in locating the optimum solution. The classical methods have limited scope in practical applications as some of them involve objective functions which are not continuous and un-differentiable. Yet, the study of these classical techniques of optimization form a basis for developing most of the numerical techniques that have evolved into advanced techniques more suitable to today’s practical problems.
The difficulties associated with using mathematical optimization on large-scale engineering problems have contributed to the development of alternative solutions. Linear programming and dynamic programming techniques, for example, often fail (or reach local optimum) in solving NP-hard problems with large number of variables and non-linear objective functions. To overcome these problems, researchers have proposed evolutionary-based algorithms for searching near-optimum solutions to problems.
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are stochastic search methods that mimic the metaphor of natural biological evolution and/or the social behaviour of species. Examples include how ants find the shortest route to a source of food and how birds find their destination during migration. The behaviour of such species is guided by learning, adaptation, and evolution. To mimic the efficient behaviour of these species, various researchers have developed computational systems that seek fast and robust solutions to complex optimization problems. The first evolutionary-based technique introduced in the literature was the genetic algorithms (Gas). GAs were developed based on the Darwinian principle of the ‘survival of the fittest’ and the natural process of evolution through reproduction. Based on its demonstrated ability to reach near-optimum solutions to large problems, the GAs technique has been used in many applicationsin science and engineering. Despite their benefits, GAs may require long processing time for a near optimum solution to evolve. Also, not all problems lend themselves well to a solution with GAs.
For three decades, many mathematical programming methods have been developed to solve optimization problems. However, until now, there has not been a single totally efficient and robust method to coverall optimization problems that arise in the different engineering fields.Most engineering application design problems involve the choice of design variable values that better describe the behaviour of a system.At the same time, those results should cover the requirements and specifications imposed by the norms for that system. This last condition leads to predicting what the entrance parameter values should be whose design results comply with the norms and also present good performance, which describes the inverse problem.Generally, in design problems the variables are discreet from the mathematical point of view. However, most mathematical optimization applications are focused and developed for continuous variables. Presently, there are many research articles about optimization methods; the typical ones are based on calculus,numerical methods, and random methods.
The calculus-based methods have been intensely studied and are subdivided in two main classes: 1) the direct search methods find a local maximum moving a function over the relative local gradient directions and 2) the indirect methods usually find the local ends solving a set of non-linear equations, resultant of equating the gradient from the object function to zero, i.e., by means of multidimensional generalization of the notion of the function’s extreme points from elementary calculus given smooth function without restrictions to find a possible maximum which is to be restricted to those points whose slope is zero in all directions. The real world has many discontinuities and noisy spaces, which is why it is not surprising that the methods depending upon the restrictive requirements of continuity and existence of a derivative, are unsuitable for all, but a very limited problem domain. A number of schemes have been applied in many forms and sizes. The idea is quite direct inside a finite search space or a discrete infinite search space, where the algorithms can locate the object function values in each space point one at a time. The simplicity of this kind of algorithm is very attractive when the numbers of possibilities are very small. Nevertheless, these outlines are often inefficient, since they do not complete the requirements of robustness in big or highly-dimensional spaces, making it quite a hard task to find the optimal values. Given the shortcomings of the calculus-based techniques and the numerical ones the random methods have increased their popularity.
Finding an alternative with the most cost effective or highest achievable performance under the given constraints, by maximizing desired factors and minimizing undesired ones. It also mean that it make best use of a situation or resource. In comparison, maximization means trying to attain the highest or maximum result or outcome without regard to cost or expense. Practice of optimization is restricted by the lack of full information, and the lack of time to evaluate what information is available (see bounded reality for details). In computer simulation (modeling) of business problems, optimization is achieved usually by using linear programming techniques of operations research.
The first ant colony optimization (ACO) called ant system was inspired through studying of the behaviour of ants in 1991 by Macro Dorigo and co-workers. An ant colony is highly organized, in which one interacting with others through pheromone in perfect harmony. Optimization problems can be solved through simulating ant’s behaviours. Since the first ant system algorithm was proposed, there is a lot of development in ACO. In ant colony system algorithm, local pheromone is used for ants to search optimum result. However, high magnitude of computing is its deficiency and sometimes it is inefficient. Thomas Stützle etal. Introduced MAX-MIN Ant System (MMAS) in 2000. It is one of the best algorithms of ACO. It limits total pheromone in every trip or sub-union to avoid local convergence. However, the limitation of pheromone slows down convergence rate in MMAS.

Our project is a persistence of vision display (POV) that spins 360 degrees horizontally. The purpose of our POV display project is to create a small apparatus that will create a visual using only a small number of LEDs as it spins in a circle. When the LEDs rotate several times around a point in less than a second, the human eye reaches its limit of motion perception and creates an illusion of a continuous image. Therefore, our POV display demonstrates this phenomenon by creating a visual as the LEDs spin rapidly in a circle and the person watching will see one continuous image.

The project is designed to control the speed of a DC and AC motor using an
ARM7 LPC2148 processor. The speed of motor is directly proportional to the voltage
applied across its terminals. Hence, if voltage across motor terminal is varied, then
speed can also be varied. This project uses the above principle to control the speed of
the motor by varying the duty cycle of the pulses applied to it, popularly known as
PWM control. The project uses input button interfaced to the processor, which are
used to control the speed of motor. Pulse Width Modulation is generated at the output
by the microcontroller as per the program. The program is written in Embedded C.
The average voltage given or the average current flowing through the motor
will change depending on the duty cycle, ON and OFF time of the pulses, so the speed
of the motor will change. A motor driver IC is interfaced to the ARM7 LPC2148
processor board for receiving PWM signals and delivering desired output for speed
control. Further the project can be enhanced by using power electronic devices such
as IGBTs to achieve speed control higher capacity industrial motors.

This paper presents Grid Solver Bot which is a self-driven vehicle capable of localizing itself in a grid and planning a path between two nodes. It can avoid particular nodes and plan path between two allowed nodes. Breadth-first search & Dijkstra's Algorithm have been used for finding the path between two allowed nodes. The searching of a block over grid is easier when the rows and columns i.e. m* n of a grid is fixed. But when the grid is dynamic or changes over time than in such situation we require a generalized algorithm for traversing over a grid. In these paper we develop an approach for searching an object and also able to avoid an obstacle which was placed in a junction (meeting point of row and column). Here, we use different algorithms like Dijkistra’s, Best first search and A star algorithms. We develop an approach to find the block with minimum shortest path with the help of priority based algorithm. The vehicle is also capable of transferring blocks from one node to another. In fact, this vehicle is a prototype of a self-driven vehicle capable of transporting passengers and it can also be used in industries to transfer different items from one place to another.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

3. INTRODUCTION
The term FACTS describes a wide range of controllers ,many of
which incorporate large power electronic converters.
In general ,FACTS devices possess the following technological
attributes:
i) Provide dynamic reactive power support and
ii) Voltage control
iii) Improve system stability
iv) Control real and reactive power flow
FACTS is a new integrated concept based on electronic based
converter to enhance system utilization and
reliability,stability,and power quality of ac transmission system
4. HISTORY
Dr. Narain Hingorani is a father of FACTS technology.
The first FACTS installation was at C . J. Slatt
substation near Arlington, Oregon.
This is a 500 kv 3 Ph 60 Hz substation and was
developed by EPRI, the Bonneille Power
Administration and general electric component
5. OBJECTIVES OF FACTS CONTROLLERS
The main objectives of FACTS controllers are the
following:
1. Regulation of power flows in prescribed
transmission routes.
2. Secure loading of transmission lines nearer to
their thermal limits.
3. Prevention of cascading outages by contributing
to emergency control.
6. TYPES OF FACTS CONTROLLERS
Series controllers:
The series controller could be a variable impedance,
such as capacitor, reactor, or a power electronics based variable
source of main frequency, and harmonic frequencies to serve the
desired load.
In principle, all series controllers inject voltage in series with the
line. As long as the voltage is in phase quadrature with the line
current, the series controller only supplies or consumes variable
reactive power.
Series controllers include SSSC, IPFC, TCSC, TSSC, TCSR, and
TSSR.
7.
8. Shunt Controllers.
As in the case of series controllers, the shunt
controllers may be variable impedance, variable source, or
a combination of these.
In principle, all shunt controllers inject current into
the system at the point of connection.
Even a variable shunt impedance connected to the line
voltage causes a variable current flow and hence represents
injection of current into the line.
Any other phase relationship will involve handling of
real power as well. Shunt controllers include STATCOM,
TCR, TSR, TSC, and TCBR
9.
10. FACTS CONTROLLERS
A static synchronous compensator (STATCOM)
also known as synchronous condenser.
STATCOM is a regulating device used on
alternating current electricity transmission
networks .
It is based on a power electronics voltage source
converter
STATCOM :
11. Uses:
It is installed to support electricity networks that have
a poor power factor and often poor voltage regulation
Mostly used for voltage stability
It is also provide better reactive power support at low
AC voltage
The current can nbe maintained at rated value even
down to low AC voltages
12. Static VAR compensator is a set of electrical
devices for providing fast acting reactive
power on high voltage electricity
transmission system .
Elements which may be used to make an SVC
typically include:
i) TCR where reactor may be air or iron
cored
ii) TSC
iii) Harmonic filter
SVC :
13. Advantages :
Gives instantaneous response to changes in the
system voltage.
They are in general cheaper, higher capacity,
faster and more reliable than dynamic
compensaror scheme.
Enhance controllability and increase power
transfer capability
14. Benefits of facts controllers
Cost
Convenience
Environmental impact
Contribute to optimal system operation by reducing
power losses and improving voltage profile.
Increase the loading capability of the lines to their
thermal capabilities, including short term and
seasonal.
Provide greater flexibility in sitting new generation
15. CONTROL OF POWER SYSTEM
In any power system, the creation, transmission, and
utilization of electrical power can be separated into
three areas, which traditionally determined the way in
which electric utility companies had been organized.
These are illustrated in Figure 1 and are:
• Generation
• Transmission
• Distribution
16. Although power electronic based equipment is
prevalent in each of these three areas, such as with
static excitation systems for generators and Custom
Power equipment in distribution systems
The focus of this paper and accompanying
presentation is on transmission, i.e. moving the
power from where it is generated to where it is
utilized.
17. CONTROLLABILITY
To illustrate that the power system only has certain
variables that can be impacted by control, we have
considered here the power-angle curve, shown in Figure 2.
Although this is a steady-state curve and the
implementation of FACTS is primarily for dynamic issues,
this illustration demonstrates the point that there are
primarily three main variables that can be directly
controlled in the power system to impact its performance.
These are:
• Voltage
• Angle
• Impedance
20. CONCLUSION
This paper has presented various FACTS controllers
and analyzed their control attributes and benefits.
The flexible ac transmission system (FACTS), a new
technology based on power electronics, offers an
opportunity to enhance controllability, stability, and
power transfer capability of ac transmission systems.
The application of FACTS controllers throws up new
challenges for power engineers, not only in hardware
implementation, but also in design of robust control
systems, planning and analysis.
