A Novel Control Method for Unified Power Quality Conditioner Using Nine-Switc...IJERA Editor
A nine-switch power converter having two sets of out-put terminals was recently proposed in place of the traditional back-to-back power converter that uses 12 switches in total. The nine-switch converter has already been proven to have certain advantages, in addition to its component saving topological feature. Despite these advantages, the nine-switch converter has so far found limited applications due to its many perceived performance tradeoffs like requiring an oversized dc-link capacitor, limited amplitude sharing, and constrained phase shift between its two sets of output terminals. Instead of accepting these tradeoffs as limitations, a nine-switch power conditioner is proposed here that virtually “converts” most of these topological short comings into interesting performance advantages. Aiming further to reduce its switching losses, an appropriate discontinuous modulation scheme is proposed and studied here in detail to doubly ensure that maxi-mal reduction of commutations is achieved. With an appropriately designed control scheme then incorporated, the nine-switch converter is shown to favorably raise the overall power quality in experiment, hence justifying its role as a power conditioner at a reduced semiconductor cost.

VSC BASED HVDC SYTEM DESIGN AND PROTECTION AGAINST OVER VOLTAGESIJERD Editor
High Voltage Direct Current system based on voltage source converter (VSC-HVDC) is becoming
more effective solution for offshore wind plants and supplying power to remote regions. In this paper, the
control of a VSC-based HVDC system (VSC-HVDC) is described. Based on this control strategy, appropriate
controllers utilizing PI controllers are designed to control the active and reactive power at each end station.The
operation performance of a voltage source converter (VSC) based HVDC (VSC-HVDC system) system is
explained under some characteristic faulted conditions with and without protection measures. A protection
strategy is proposed to enhance the continuous operation performance of the VSC-HVDC system. The strategy
utilizes a voltage chopper to suppress over-voltages on the DC side of the VSC. Digital simulation is done to
verify the validity of the proposed control strategy and protection strategy
The DC-fault Blocking Capability by a New Hybrid Multilevel Converter in HVDC...Editor IJCATR
This paper explains the working principles, supported by simulation results, of a new converter topology in-tended for HVDC
application, called the Alternate Arm Con-verter (AAC). Modular Multilevel Converters deliver small footprints and efficiencies above
99% in their half-bridge format, but only deliver DC-fault blocking with full-bridge sub-modules, and with an unacceptable penalty in
efficiency. The Alternate Arm Converter (AAC) is a hybrid circuit topology using a mixture of full-bridge sub-modules and director
switches which is capable of current control through DC faults while maintaining good efficiency in normal operation. It is hybrid
between the modular multi-level converter, because of the presence of H-bridge cells, and the 2-level converter, in the form of director
switches in each arm. This converter is able to generate a multi-level AC voltage and, since its stacks of cells consist of H-bridge cells
instead of half-bridge cells, they are able to generate higher AC voltage than the DC terminal voltage. This allows the AAC to operate
at an optimal point, called the “sweet spot”, where the AC and DC energy flows equal. The director switches in the AAC are responsible
for alternating the conduction period of each arm, leading to a significant reduction in the number of cells in the stacks. Furthermore,
the AAC can keep control of the current in the phase reactor even in case of a DC-side fault and support the AC grid, through a
STATCOM mode. Simulation results and loss calculations are presented in this paper in order to support the claimed features of the
AAC
This paper deals with the design of filters and THD analysis of a low - frequency ac (20Hz) transmission system. The LFAC system is interfaced with the 50Hz main power grid with a cycloconverter.

The waveforms at the sending end and receiving end of the transmission line are plotted.THD analysis of LFAC system is carried out. The circuit model of LFAC system is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

n early days, there was a little demand for
electrical energy so that small power stations
were built to supply lighting and heating
loads. However, the widespread use of electrical
energy by modern civilisation has necessitated
to produce bulk electrical energy economically
and efficiently. The increased demand of electri-
cal energy can be met by building big power sta-
tions at favourable places where fuel (coal or gas)
or water energy is available in abundance. This
has shifted the site of power stations to places
quite away from the consumers. The electrical
energy produced at the power stations has to be
supplied to the consumers. There is a large net-
work of conductors between the power station
and the consumers. This network can be broadly
divided into two parts viz., transmission and dis-
tribution. The purpose of this chapter is to focus
attention on the various aspects of transmission

This paper analyzes the behaviour of a Voltage Source Converter Based HVDC system under DC pole to ground fault & AC faults for 2-level VSC-HVDC & 12-pulse VSC-HVDC system in order to better understand the system under such faults. DC line faults on HVDC systems utilising Voltage Source Converters (VSC) are a major issue for HVDC systems in which complete isolation of the faulted system is not a viable option. The occurrence of pole-to-ground faults on DC link is the most common fault in HVDC system. It was observed that with the occurrence of DC pole to ground faults leads to substantial over current in the AC grid system which may lead to damage of the converter valve. Simulation of 2-level VSC-HVDC under AC fault is carried out. The fault current magnitude is attempted with the mathematical analysis & which was found to be the same as the simulated result. This paper also compares the performance of the conventional 12-pulse (CSC) HVDC system with the PWM based 2-level VSC-HVDC & 12-pulse VSC-HVDC system.

One of the preferred choices of electronic power conversion for high power applications are multilevel inverters topologies finding increased attention in industry. Cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter is one of these topologies reaching the higher output voltage, power level and higher reliability due to its modular topology. Level Shifted Carrier Pulse Width Modulation (LSCPWM) and Phase Shifted Carrier Pulse Width Modulation are used generally for switching cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverters. This paper compares LSCPWM and PSCPWM in terms of total harmonics distortion (THD) and output voltage among inverter cells. Simulation for 21-level CHB inverter is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK and simulation results are presented.
High Voltage Direct Current Transmission System ReportNadeem Khilji
The development of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission system dates back to the 1930s when mercury arc rectifiers were invented. Since the 1960s, HVDC transmission system is now a mature technology and has played a vital part in both long distance transmission and in the interconnection of systems. Transmitting power at high voltage and in DC form instead of AC is a new technology proven to be economic and simple in operation which is HVDC transmission. HVDC transmission systems, when installed, often form the backbone of an electric power system. They combine high reliability with a long useful life. An HVDC link avoids some of the disadvantages and limitations of AC transmission. HVDC transmission refers to that the AC power generated at a power plant is transformed into DC power before its transmission. At the inverter (receiving side), it is then transformed back into its original AC power and then supplied to each household. Such power transmission method makes it possible to transmit electric power in an economic way.

Improvement in Power Transmission Capacity by Simultaneous AC-DC Transmissiontheijes
Now days in power transmission systems mainly the high voltage three phase AC or HVDC transmission lines for greater efficiency at very long distances are used. In this paper, we have to show the scheme of AC and DC power transmission system which can be developed by converting double circuit ac line into composite AC and DC power transmission line and also comparing simulation results with the simple EHVAC transmission system and HVDC transmission system having six pulses PWM generator. The main object of thesis is to show that by superimposing DC in AC transmission, the capacity of the transmission line can be increased by nearly 70 % of that if only AC is transmitted. In our existing transmission system, long extra high voltage (EHV) AC lines cannot be loaded to their thermal limits in order to keep sufficient margin against transient instability. With the scheme proposed in this project, it is possible to load these lines close to their thermal limits. The conductors are allowed to carry usual ac along with dc superimposed on it, without altering the original line conductors, tower structures, and insulator strings has been presented.

This paper analyses the design of a 3 kW isolated bidirectional ac to dc converter for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This is an increasingly popular solution to overcome the differences seen in electricity supply and demand introduced by renewable energy sources. In order to connect these systems to the grid an ac to dc converter is required. In this paper a converter is considered to interface a 300 V battery bank to the grid at 110 V, 60 Hz ac. A dual active bridge is implemented with a 100 kHz transformer. Control systems for the converter are also considered allowing autonomous regulation of the power flow to and from the storage.

This paper presented single DC bus single phase seven level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter for multi-panel photovoltaic grid-connected applications. A single DC bus supplying flyback converters to produce DC link voltages for CHB cells is suggested. A balanced operation of CHB inverter cells is obtained irrespective to power unbalance occurred by individual maximum power point tracking boost converter of photovoltaic (PV) panels due to the non-uniform irradiation and partial shading. A DC bus voltage control system with addition of estimated DC bus ripple voltage to the reference is proposed to eliminate the second order harmonic contained in the feedback voltage of DC bus enabling to design high bandwidth of DC voltage control loop. This produces fast dynamic response, low total harmonic distortion (THD) of grid current and smaller DC bus capacitance. Mathematical modeling of bus voltage control system is presented. PSIM simulation program is used and the simulation results are obtained to validate the proposed control system.

Implementation of DC voltage controllers on enhancing the stability of multi-...IJECEIAES
Because of the increasing penetration of intermittent green energy resources like offshore wind farms, solar photovoltaic, the multi-terminal DC grid using VSC technology is considered a promising solution for interconnecting these future energies. To improve the stability of the multi-terminal direct current (MTDC) network, DC voltage control strategies based on voltage margin and voltage droop technique have been developed and investigated in this article. These two control strategies are implemented in the proposed model, a ±400 kV meshed multi-terminal MTDC network based on VSC technology with four terminals during the outage converter. The simulation results include the comparison and analysis of both techniques under the outage converter equipped with constant DC voltage control, then the outage converter equipped with constant active power control. The simulation results confirm that the DC voltage droop technique has a better dynamic performance of power sharing and DC voltage regulation.
Design and Simulation of a Three Phase Power Converter Connected To a Distrib...IJERA Editor
The distributed generation systems based on renewable energy sources (photovoltaic, fuel cells, and storage systems such as ultra capacitors and batteries) are of great interest due to their low environmental impact and technical advantages such as improvements in voltage levels and reduced power losses when a distributed generation system is installed in radial lines. Two control algorithms were proposed to improve the grid-connected and intentional-islanding operations methods, in which the distributed generation system must detect the situation and switch from power or current to voltage as a control variable to provide constant rms voltage to the local loads. The power flow between the grid and the distributed generation is controlled by applying a power/voltage method that regulates the amplitude and the displacement of the grid voltage synthesized by the distributed generation, while a phase-locked loop algorithm is used to synchronize the grid and distributed generation.
DG FED MULTILEVEL INVERTER BASED D-STATCOM FOR VARIOUS LOADING CONDITIONSIJCI JOURNAL
During the past few decades, power industries have proved that the adverse impacts on the PQ can be
mitigated or avoided by conventional means, and that technique using fast controlled force commutated
power electronics (PE) are even more effective. PQ compensators can be categorized into two main types.
One is shunt connected compensation device that effectively eliminates harmonics. The other is the series
connected device, which has an edge over the shunt type for correcting the distorted system side voltages
and voltage sags caused by power transmission system faults. The STATCOM used in distribution systems
is called DSTACOM (Distribution-STACOM) and its configuration is the same, but with small
modifications. Recent advances in the power-handling capabilities of static switch devices such as 3.3kV,
4.5kV, and 6.5kV Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) with voltage rating commercially available,
have made the use of the voltage source inverters (VSI) feasible for high-power applications. High power
and high-voltage conversion systems have become very important issues for the power electronic industry
handling the large ac drive and electrical power applications at both the transmission and distribution
levels. For these reasons, new families of multilevel inverters have emerged as the solution for working
with higher voltage levels. Multilevel inverters (MLI) include an array of power semiconductors and
capacitor voltage sources, the output of which generate voltages with stepped waveforms. These converter
topologies can generate high-quality voltage waveforms with power semiconductor switches operating at a
frequency near the fundamental. It significantly reduces the harmonics problem with reduced voltage stress
across the switch. This research work is mainly focusing on application of multilevel DSTATCOM for
power quality improvement in distribution system with integration of RES. Matlab/Simulink based model is
developed and simulation results are presented.
A Novel Method for Prevention of Bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service AttacksIJERD Editor
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks became a massive threat to the Internet. Traditional
Architecture of internet is vulnerable to the attacks like DDoS. Attacker primarily acquire his army of Zombies,
then that army will be instructed by the Attacker that when to start an attack and on whom the attack should be
done. In this paper, different techniques which are used to perform DDoS Attacks, Tools that were used to
perform Attacks and Countermeasures in order to detect the attackers and eliminate the Bandwidth Distributed
Denial of Service attacks (B-DDoS) are reviewed. DDoS Attacks were done by using various Flooding
techniques which are used in DDoS attack.
The main purpose of this paper is to design an architecture which can reduce the Bandwidth
Distributed Denial of service Attack and make the victim site or server available for the normal users by
eliminating the zombie machines. Our Primary focus of this paper is to dispute how normal machines are
turning into zombies (Bots), how attack is been initiated, DDoS attack procedure and how an organization can
save their server from being a DDoS victim. In order to present this we implemented a simulated environment
with Cisco switches, Routers, Firewall, some virtual machines and some Attack tools to display a real DDoS
attack. By using Time scheduling, Resource Limiting, System log, Access Control List and some Modular
policy Framework we stopped the attack and identified the Attacker (Bot) machines
Hearing loss is one of the most common human impairments. It is estimated that by year 2015 more
than 700 million people will suffer mild deafness. Most can be helped by hearing aid devices depending on the
severity of their hearing loss. This paper describes the implementation and characterization details of a dual
channel transmitter front end (TFE) for digital hearing aid (DHA) applications that use novel micro
electromechanical- systems (MEMS) audio transducers and ultra-low power-scalable analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), which enable a very-low form factor, energy-efficient implementation for next-generation
DHA. The contribution of the design is the implementation of the dual channel MEMS microphones and powerscalable
ADC system.
Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
Gold prospecting using Remote Sensing ‘A case study of Sudan’IJERD Editor
Gold has been extracted from northeast Africa for more than 5000 years, and this may be the first
place where the metal was extracted. The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian
crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea. The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. ANS
includes the nations of Israel, Jordan. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.
Arabian Nubian Shield Consists of juvenile continental crest that formed between 900 550 Ma, when intra
oceanic arc welded together along ophiolite decorated arc. Primary Au mineralization probably developed in
association with the growth of intra oceanic arc and evolution of back arc. Multiple episodes of deformation
have obscured the primary metallogenic setting, but at least some of the deposits preserve evidence that they
originate as sea floor massive sulphide deposits.
The Red Sea Hills Region is a vast span of rugged, harsh and inhospitable sector of the Earth with
inimical moon-like terrain, nevertheless since ancient times it is famed to be an abode of gold and was a major
source of wealth for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs old workings have been periodically
rediscovered through time. Recent endeavours by the Geological Research Authority of Sudan led to the
discovery of a score of occurrences with gold and massive sulphide mineralizations. In the nineties of the
previous century the Geological Research Authority of Sudan (GRAS) in cooperation with BRGM utilized
satellite data of Landsat TM using spectral ratio technique to map possible mineralized zones in the Red Sea
Hills of Sudan. The outcome of the study mapped a gossan type gold mineralization. Band ratio technique was
applied to Arbaat area and a signature of alteration zone was detected. The alteration zones are commonly
associated with mineralization. The alteration zones are commonly associated with mineralization. A filed check
confirmed the existence of stock work of gold bearing quartz in the alteration zone. Another type of gold
mineralization that was discovered using remote sensing is the gold associated with metachert in the Atmur
Desert.
Reducing Corrosion Rate by Welding DesignIJERD Editor
The paper addresses the importance of welding design to prevent corrosion at steel. Welding is
used to join pipe, profiles at bridges, spindle, and a lot more part of engineering construction. The
problems happened associated with welding are common issues in these fields, especially corrosion.
Corrosion can be reduced with many methods, they are painting, controlling humidity, and also good
welding design. In the research, it can be found that reducing residual stress on the welding can be
solved in corrosion rate reduction problem.
Preheating on 500oC and 600oC give better condition to reduce corosion rate than condition after
preheating 400oC. For all welding groove type, material with 500oC and 600oC preheating after 14 days
corrosion test is 0,5%-0,69% lost. Material with 400oC preheating after 14 days corrosion test is 0,57%-0,76%
lost.
Welding groove also influence corrosion rate. X and V type welding groove give better condition to reduce
corrosion rate than use 1/2V and 1/2 X welding groove. After 14 days corrosion test, the samples with
X welding groove type is 0,5%-0,57% lost. The samples with V welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is
0,51%-0,59% lost. The samples with 1/2V and 1/2X welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is 0,58%-
0,71% lost.
Router 1X3 – RTL Design and VerificationIJERD Editor
Routing is the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination and enables messages
to pass from one computer to another and eventually reach the target machine. A router is a networking device
that forwards data packets between computer networks. It is connected to two or more data lines from different
networks (as opposed to a network switch, which connects data lines from one single network). This paper,
mainly emphasizes upon the study of router device, it‟s top level architecture, and how various sub-modules of
router i.e. Register, FIFO, FSM and Synchronizer are synthesized, and simulated and finally connected to its top
module.
Active Power Exchange in Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) At Third Ha...IJERD Editor
This paper presents a component within the flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family, called
distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC)
with an eliminated common dc link. The DPFC has the same control capabilities as the UPFC, which comprise
the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. The active power exchange
between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the
transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC multiple small-size single-phase converters which
reduces the cost of equipment, no voltage isolation between phases, increases redundancy and there by
reliability increases. The principle and analysis of the DPFC are presented in this paper and the corresponding
simulation results that are carried out on a scaled prototype are also shown.
Mitigation of Voltage Sag/Swell with Fuzzy Control Reduced Rating DVRIJERD Editor
Power quality has been an issue that is becoming increasingly pivotal in industrial electricity
consumers point of view in recent times. Modern industries employ Sensitive power electronic equipments,
control devices and non-linear loads as part of automated processes to increase energy efficiency and
productivity. Voltage disturbances are the most common power quality problem due to this the use of a large
numbers of sophisticated and sensitive electronic equipment in industrial systems is increased. This paper
discusses the design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improvement of power quality and
reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive loads. Power quality problem is occurring at non-standard
voltage, current and frequency. Electronic devices are very sensitive loads. In power system voltage sag,
swell, flicker and harmonics are some of the problem to the sensitive load. The compensation capability
of a DVR depends primarily on the maximum voltage injection ability and the amount of stored
energy available within the restorer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at
medium voltage. A fuzzy logic control is used to produce the gate pulses for control circuit of DVR and the
circuit is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Study on the Fused Deposition Modelling In Additive ManufacturingIJERD Editor
Additive manufacturing process, also popularly known as 3-D printing, is a process where a product
is created in a succession of layers. It is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.
Unlike conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed from a given work price to derive the
final shape of a product, 3-D printing develops the product from scratch thus obviating the necessity to cut away
materials. This prevents wastage of raw materials. Commonly used raw materials for the process are ABS
plastic, PLA and nylon. Recently the use of gold, bronze and wood has also been implemented. The complexity
factor of this process is 0% as in any object of any shape and size can be manufactured.

Secure Image Transmission for Cloud Storage System Using Hybrid SchemeIJERD Editor
- Data over the cloud is transferred or transmitted between servers and users. Privacy of that
data is very important as it belongs to personal information. If data get hacked by the hacker, can be
used to defame a person’s social data. Sometimes delay are held during data transmission. i.e. Mobile
communication, bandwidth is low. Hence compression algorithms are proposed for fast and efficient
transmission, encryption is used for security purposes and blurring is used by providing additional
layers of security. These algorithms are hybridized for having a robust and efficient security and
transmission over cloud storage system.
Application of Buckley-Leverett Equation in Modeling the Radius of Invasion i...IJERD Editor
A thorough review of existing literature indicates that the Buckley-Leverett equation only analyzes
waterflood practices directly without any adjustments on real reservoir scenarios. By doing so, quite a number
of errors are introduced into these analyses. Also, for most waterflood scenarios, a radial investigation is more
appropriate than a simplified linear system. This study investigates the adoption of the Buckley-Leverett
equation to estimate the radius invasion of the displacing fluid during waterflooding. The model is also adopted
for a Microbial flood and a comparative analysis is conducted for both waterflooding and microbial flooding.
Results shown from the analysis doesn’t only records a success in determining the radial distance of the leading
edge of water during the flooding process, but also gives a clearer understanding of the applicability of
microbes to enhance oil production through in-situ production of bio-products like bio surfactans, biogenic
gases, bio acids etc.
Gesture Gaming on the World Wide Web Using an Ordinary Web CameraIJERD Editor
- Gesture gaming is a method by which users having a laptop/pc/x-box play games using natural or
bodily gestures. This paper presents a way of playing free flash games on the internet using an ordinary webcam
with the help of open source technologies. Emphasis in human activity recognition is given on the pose
estimation and the consistency in the pose of the player. These are estimated with the help of an ordinary web
camera having different resolutions from VGA to 20mps. Our work involved giving a 10 second documentary to
the user on how to play a particular game using gestures and what are the various kinds of gestures that can be
performed in front of the system. The initial inputs of the RGB values for the gesture component is obtained by
instructing the user to place his component in a red box in about 10 seconds after the short documentary before
the game is finished. Later the system opens the concerned game on the internet on popular flash game sites like
miniclip, games arcade, GameStop etc and loads the game clicking at various places and brings the state to a
place where the user is to perform only gestures to start playing the game. At any point of time the user can call
off the game by hitting the esc key and the program will release all of the controls and return to the desktop. It
was noted that the results obtained using an ordinary webcam matched that of the Kinect and the users could
relive the gaming experience of the free flash games on the net. Therefore effective in game advertising could
also be achieved thus resulting in a disruptive growth to the advertising firms.

“MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to Extract Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chrom...IJERD Editor
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool “MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract
Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chromosome” can extract both Perfect as well as Imperfect Microsatellites from large
data sets of human genome „Y‟. The proposed system uses string matching with sliding window approach to
locate Microsatellites and extracts them.
Importance of Measurements in Smart GridIJERD Editor
- The need to get reliable supply, independence from fossil fuels, and capability to provide clean
energy at a fixed and lower cost, the existing power grid structure is transforming into Smart Grid. The
development of a smart energy distribution grid is a current goal of many nations. A Smart Grid should have
new capabilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. This new era
of smart future grid will lead to major changes in existing technologies at generation, transmission and
distribution levels. The incorporation of renewable energy resources and distribution generators in the existing
grid will increase the complexity, optimization problems and instability of the system. This will lead to a
paradigm shift in the instrumentation and control requirements for Smart Grids for high quality, stable and
reliable electricity supply of power. The monitoring of the grid system state and stability relies on the
availability of reliable measurement of data. In this paper the measurement areas that highlight new
measurement challenges, development of the Smart Meters and the critical parameters of electric energy to be
monitored for improving the reliability of power systems has been discussed.
Study of Macro level Properties of SCC using GGBS and Lime stone powderIJERD Editor
One of the major environmental concerns is the disposal of the waste materials and utilization of
industrial by products. Lime stone quarries will produce millions of tons waste dust powder every year. Having
considerable high degree of fineness in comparision to cement this material may be utilized as a partial

stone powder in the production of SCC with combined use GGBS and how it affects the fresh and mechanical
properties of SCC. First SCC is made by replacing cement with GGBS in percentages like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and
by taking the optimum mix with GGBS lime stone powder is blended to mix in percentages like 5, 10, 15, 20 as
a partial replacement to cement. Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 30% GGBS and 15%
limestone powder gives maximum compressive strength and fresh properties are also in the limits prescribed by
the EFNARC.

Abstract:- Long extra high voltage (EHV) ac lines cannot be loaded to their thermal limits in order to keep
sufficient margin against transient instability. With the scheme proposed in this paper, it is possible to load these
lines very close to their thermal limits. The conductors are allowed to carry usual ac along with dc superimposed on
it. The added dc power flow does not cause any transient instability. This paper gives the feasibility of converting a
double circuit ac line into composite ac–dc power transmission line to get the advantages of parallel ac–dc
transmission to improve stability and damping out oscillations. Simulation and experimental studies are carried out
for the coordinated control as well as independent control of ac and dc power transmissions. No alterations of
conductors, insulator strings, and towers of the original line are needed. Substantial gain in the load ability of the
line is obtained. Master current controller senses ac current and regulates the dc current orders for converters online
such that conductor current never exceeds its thermal limit
.
Key words:- SIMULINK simulation, simultaneous ac–dc power transmission, small power tapping.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, public has become more sensitive to the proliferation of overhead transmission right-of-
ways. Industrial countries are experiencing increasing difficulty in finding suitable corridors for new overhead
transmission lines and in many cases it is simply impossible. There is an increasing pressure to provide the
substantial power upgrading of existing ac transmission line corridors. Two possible suggestions discussed in
reference [1, 2] for power upgrading of existing ac transmission are:
Appropriate modification to existing ac lines without major new construction with increased voltage level
either ac or dc.
Elimination of the old existing HV/EHV ac lines and their substitution with new lines of EHV/UHV ac or
HVDC. This would amount to major change.
A third possibility in reference [3] suggests addition of more circuits onto existing right-of-ways. Among
many possibilities to implement this idea, one used by Ontario Hydro and others [3], refers to restructuring existing
lower voltage transmission or distribution circuits onto new towers with new high-voltage circuits. That is, forcing
many electric utilities to utilize existing corridors by upgrading existing right-of-way (RoW). This will be far
cheaper than going for underground transmission. In all these suggestions, major changes are required to get
substantial power upgrading of transmission line.
Recently proposed concept of simultaneous ac-dc power transmission enables the long EHV ac lines to be
loaded close Dr. H. Rahman is with the Faculty of Engineering, King Khalid University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(Email: hrahman1@rediffmail.com / hrahman1in@yahoo.co.in ) to their thermal limits. The conductors are allowed
to carry certain amount of dc current superimposed on usual ac [5].The novelty of the present work demonstrates the
substantial power upgrading of an existing EHV ac lines by converting it into composite ac-dc line. No alterations of
conductors, insulator strings and tower structures of the original EHV ac line are required in this case.
From this composite ac–dc line, small power tapping is also possible despite the presence of a dc
component in it. This paper proposes a simple scheme of small power tapping from the composite ac–dc power
transmission line along its route. In this study, the tapping stations are assumed to draw power up to 10% of the total
power transfer capability of the composite line. However, more power tapping is also possible subject to the
condition that it is always less than the ac power component.

II. CONCEPT OF SIMULTANEOUS AC-DC POWER TRANSMISSION
In simultaneous ac-dc power transmission system, the conductors are allowed to carry dc current
superimposed on ac current. AC and DC power flow independently and the added dc power flow does not cause any
transient instability [6]. The network in Fig. 1 shows the basic scheme for simultaneous ac-dc power flow through a
double circuit ac transmission line. The dc power is obtained by converting a part of ac through line commutated 12-
pulse rectifier bridge used in conventional HVDC and injected into the neutral point of the zig-zag connected
secondary windings of sending end transformer. The injected current is distributed equally among the three
windings of the transformer. The same is reconverted to ac by the conventional line commutated inverter at the
receiving end. The inverter bridge is connected to the neutral of zig-zag connected winding of the receiving end
transformer. Each transmission line is connected between the zig-zag windings at both ends. The double circuit
transmission line carries both 3-phase ac as well as dc power. At both ends, zig-zag connection of secondary
windings of transformer is used to avoid saturation of core due to flow of dc component of current.
Fig.1. Single-line diagram of (a) basic composite ac-dc transmission system
II. SMALL POWER TAPPING STATION REQUIREMENTS
The main requirements of a small power tapping stations are as follows.
The per unit cost of the tap must be strongly constrained (i.e., the fixed cost must be kept as low as
possible).
The tap must have a negligible impact on the reliability of the ac–dc system. This implies that any fault in
the tap must not be able to shutdown the whole system.
The tap controls should not interfere with the main system (i.e., the tap control system has to be strictly
local). Failure to achieve this leads to a complex control system requirement and, thus, higher cost of hardware.
Small tap stations having a total rating less than 10% of the main terminal rating have potential applications
where small, remote communities or industries require economic electric power [7]–[9].
The tapping stations considered in this study are of fairly small power rating, up to 10% of the total transfer capacity
of the composite ac-dc power transmission line. Short interruption of the power supplies should be tolerable at the
occurrence of temporary earth faults on the main simultaneous ac–dc power transmission system. Further, any fault
occurring within tapping station and its local ac network is to be cleared by local CBs. These tapping stations will
not depend upon the telecommunication links with the main composite ac–dc transmission system.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM MODEL
A synchronous machine is feeding power to infinite bus via a double circuit,three-phase,400KV,50Hz,
450Km ac transmission line. The 2750MVA,24KV synchronous machine is dynamically modeled, a field coil on d-
axis and a damper coil on q-axis, by Park’s equations with the frame of reference based in rotor. It is equipped with
an IEEE type AC4A excitation system of which block diagram is shown in Fig. 3. Transmission lines are
represented as the Bergeron model. It is based on a distributed LC parameter traveling wave line model, with
lumped resistance. It represents the L and C elements of a PI section in a distributed manner (i.e., it does not use
lumped parameters).
It is roughly equivalent to using an infinite number of PI sections, except that the resistance is lumped (1/2
in the middle of the line, 1/4 at each end). Like PI sections, the Bergeron model accurately represents the
fundamental frequency only. It also represents impedances at other frequencies, except that the losses do not change.
This model is suitable for studies where the fundamental frequency load flow is most important. The converters on
each end of dc link are modeled as line commutated two six- pulse bridge (12-pulse), Their control system consist of
constant current (CC) and constant extinction angle (CEA) and voltage dependent current order limiters (VDCOL)
control. The converters are connected to ac buses via Y-Y and Y- converter transformers. Each bridge is a compact
power system computer-aided design (SIMULINK) representation of a dc converter, which includes a built in six-
pulse Graetz converter bridge (can be inverter or rectifier), an internal phase locked oscillator (PLO), firing and
valve blocking controls, and firing angle /extinction α angle γ measurements. It also includes built in RC snubber
circuits for each thyristor. The controls used in dc system are those of CIGRE Benchmark, modified to suit at
desired dc voltage. Ac filters at each end on ac sides of converter transformers are connected to filter out 11th and
13th harmonics. These filters and shunt capacitor supply reactive power requirements of converters. A master
current controller (MCC), shown in Fig. 3, is used to control the current order for converters. It measures the
conductor ac current, computes the permissible dc current, and produces dc current order for inverters and rectifiers.

IV. EFFECT OF LINE CAPACITANCE
Simultaneous ac-dc transmission has a significant advantage over HVDC transmission due to its ability to
utilize the line capacitance. In pure HVDC system, capacitance of transmission line cannot be utilized to compensate
inductive VAR, as the dc line voltage is constant with time. The rectifier and inverter bridges consumes lagging
VAR (about 50% to 60% that of active power) for their operation. This VAR requirement increases with gate firing
angle of thyristors. The VAR of the converter in addition to lagging VAR of load is to be supplied by synchronous
condenser or static capacitor.
In simultaneous ac – dc power transmission, the superimposed ac-dc voltage varies with time and the
transmission line capacitance appears as shunt admittance to converter and in parallel to the load. For example
400KV, 500Km, 3-phase transmission line having shunt admittance of y=j3.3797*10-6
mho/ph/Km, the total leading
VAR available is 270.378MVA (3.3797*10-6
*500*4002
). For long EHV line when receiving end power is less than
its natural load there is an excess of line charging; Qs is negative and Qr is positive. This huge amount of leading
VAR compensates partly or fully the lagging VAR requirement of converter and load. But it remains latent in
HVDC transmission
V. SIMULATION OF THE PROPOSED SCHEME
In order to examine the feasibility of the proposed scheme for power tapping and to observe the
performance of the composite ac-dc power transmission system under various operating conditions, in
MATLAB/SIMULINK software simpower system was used. The initial operating conditions of the simultaneous
ac–dc power transmission system before the tapping power is switched on are the following:
ac power at the receiving end Pac = 603.735 MW
dc power at the receiving end Pdc = 1560.083 MW
total power transfer at the receiving end Ptotal-transfer = 2162.9 MW

VI. CONCLUSION
The merits to convert existing double circuit ac transmission line to composite ac-dc transmission line for
substantial power upgrading have been demonstrated. For the particular system studied, there is substantial increase
in the loadabilty of the line. The loadabilty further increases with increase in the length of line. The line is loaded to
its thermal limit with the superimposed dc current. The dc power flow does not impose any stability problem. The
stability aspects up to 800
power angle have been reported in reference [6]. No modification is required in the size of
conductors, insulator strings and towers structure of the original line.
