This document analyzes grounding considerations for large kVA pad-mount transformers. It summarizes the assumptions made in analyzing different transformer voltages and kVA sizes up to 5,000 kVA. Calculations of ground potential rise, touch potential and step potential are performed and compared to safety limits. Results show the standard two ground rod system may not provide adequate protection for transformers over 750 kVA or higher secondary voltages. Larger or engineered grounding systems are recommended for safety.
The document discusses grounding considerations for large kVA pad-mount transformers. It analyzes grounding systems for pad-mounts up to 5,000 kVA to ensure step and touch potentials are limited to safe levels. Calculations were performed using IEEE standards to determine the maximum allowable touch and step voltages. Results showed the standard two ground rod system may not limit surface potentials for all sizes, while the Canadian four rod standard provided better but still insufficient results for some larger transformers. Recommendations are made to properly design grounding to render pad-mounts safe for the public and workers.

Overhead transmission lines transmit power using bare conductors suspended by towers, while underground cables transmit power below ground using insulated conductors inside protective casing. Underground cables are more expensive to install due to excavation costs but have fewer transmission losses and are unaffected by weather. Overhead lines are cheaper but more vulnerable to outages from lightning and damage. Underground cables can transmit up to 33kV while overhead lines can transmit higher voltages. Basic cable laying involves excavating trenches, laying cables in protective casing, backfilling trenches. There are different cable and transmission line types for varying voltages.

Transmission lines have four parameters that characterize them: resistance, inductance, capacitance, and conductance. These distributed parameters determine the power carrying capacity and voltage drop across the line. Short lines only consider the series resistance and inductance, while medium and long lines must also account for the distributed shunt capacitance. The resistance of overhead transmission lines is affected by factors like skin effect, temperature, bundling of conductors, and proximity effect between phases.

11.[21 28]voltage stability improvement using the 21st century power transformerAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study on improving power system voltage stability using 21st century power transformers. The study used a 5-bus power network model to analyze how different transformer parameters affect voltage stability. It found that higher series resistance, flux leakage reactance, magnetizing conductance, and shunt conductance bring the system closer to voltage collapse. Higher shunt susceptance improves stability by moving the operating point farther from collapse. Replacing traditional transformers with cross-linked polyethylene cable-winding transformers, which have higher shunt susceptance, can enhance voltage stability.
Review of Reduction of Leakage Current in Cascaded Multilevel InverterIJRST Journal
Multilevel inverters are a source of high power, often used in industrial applications and can use either sine or modified sine waves. A multilevel inverter uses a series of semiconductor power converters (usually two to three) thus generating higher voltage. Reverse leakage current in a semiconductor device is the current from that semiconductor device when the device is reverse biased. In earlier method transformer is used for generating multilevel output and grid synchronization. Transformer increases the leakage current. Now transformerless method and sine modulation techniques are presented to reduce the leakage current.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
DOWNLOAD
The main objective of this project is to develop a device for wireless power transfer. The concept of wireless power transfer was realized by Nikolas tesla. Wireless power transfer can make a remarkable change in the field of the electrical engineering which eliminates the use conventional copper cables and current carrying wires.
Based on this concept, the project is developed to transfer power within a small range. This project can be used for charging batteries those are physically not possible to be connected electrically such as pace makers (An electronic device that works in place of a defective heart valve) implanted in the body that runs on a battery.
The patient is required to be operated every year to replace the battery. This project is designed to charge a rechargeable battery wirelessly for the purpose. Since charging of the battery is not possible to be demonstrated, we are providing a DC fan that runs through wireless power.
This project is built upon using an electronic circuit which converts AC 230V 50Hz to AC 12V, High frequency. The output is fed to a tuned coil forming as primary of an air core transformer. The secondary coil develops a voltage of HF 12volt.
Thus the transfer of power is done by the primary(transmitter) to the secondary that is separated with a considerable distance(say 3cm). Therefore the transfer could be seen as the primary transmits and the secondary receives the power to run load.
Moreover this technique can be used in number of applications, like to charge a mobile phone, iPod, laptop battery, propeller clock wirelessly. And also this kind of charging provides a far lower risk of electrical shock as it would be galvanically isolated.

This document summarizes a research paper on a high efficiency three phase nine level diode clamped multilevel inverter. The paper proposes a nine level diode clamped multilevel inverter (DCMLI) topology for medium voltage applications. It describes the working of the DCMLI, which uses nine levels of voltage from the DC supply to produce a nine step output voltage waveform with lower total harmonic distortion compared to other lower level inverters. Simulation results show that the nine level inverter produces a line voltage waveform with 7.84% THD, lower than the 10.47% THD of a seven level inverter. The paper concludes that increasing the number of levels in the DCMLI reduces the total harmonic distortion
This document presents a study on a nine-level diode-clamped multilevel inverter. A diode-clamped multilevel inverter uses multiple DC voltage levels from separate capacitors to generate stepped output voltages. The proposed nine-level inverter configuration is capable of producing nine distinct output voltage levels. Simulation results show that the total harmonic distortion of the nine-level inverter is 7.84%, lower than the 10.47% THD of a seven-level inverter. Pulse width modulation techniques are used to generate switching signals to control the inverter. The study concludes that increasing the number of voltage levels in a diode-clamped multilevel inverter reduces total harmonic distortion.
Investigation of Electric Field Distribution Inside 500/220 kV Transformation...IJAPEJOURNAL
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.
Analsis of very fast transient over voltages in gas insulated substationseSAT Journals
Abstract Due to the opening or closing of circuit breakers and disconnect switches in Gas Insulated Substations (GIS), Very Fast Transient Over-voltages (VFTO) are generated. This paper describes the 500 kV and 750 kV GIS of power system. The variations of VFTO magnitudes at different points in 500 kV and 750 kV GIS during different switching operations have been calculated and compared by using Matlab/Simulink. In this paper the effective factors on the level of VFTO is investigated and the beneficial approaches for the industry to finding the optimum approaches for VFT mitigation is presented. These factors are included residual charges, resistance, spark resistance and entrance capacitance of transformer.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
