Power upgrading of transmission line by combining ac dc transmissionShailesh Senta
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 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.

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.

ABSTRACT: Most rural areas in Africa are characterized by scattered villages with a very low demand in electricity. Due to improper planning and lack of knowledge on low cost technologies, the cost of extending the grid to supply these area is very high relative to the returns. Rural electrification by means of extending the main grid and distributing power using a single wire with earth return (SWER) has shown to be the least expensive rural electrification method in remote area where loads are light and scattered.This paper presents a developed model of Single wire earth return distribution network and a voltage profile of the network using backward and forward sweep method load flow algorithm. And finally presents the analysis of the effect of shunt capacitors on the voltage profile of the network using Maximum power saving method for the sizing and placement of the capacitor.

Alternative Energy for Permaculturists. Choosing the right alternative energy...DiegoFooter
This talk will guide attendees through a decision-making framework on how to design regenerative energy plans in line with the ethics of Permaculture, while working within the confines of what Mother Nature will provide. Attendees will walk away from this talk with the knowledge on how to confidently choose the most appropriate alternative energy solution(s) for a given project.
While solar and wind routinely take center-stage, a handful of other — albeit lesser known — alternative energy technologies exist. Factors to consider are project location, climate, biome, and context (i.e. budget, goals, expectations, etc.). Based on this data, some alternative energy technologies will be deemed as “appropriate,” while others will not. For instance, biomass gasification, as a primary energy source, makes little sense in Phoenix, Arizona. However, it may likely be the primary — or even sole — technology for someone living in Missoula, Montana.
The key to crafting a decentralized, sustainable, and regenerative energy plan, is in knowing the rules of thumb for the major systems, and having a basic understanding of the “constants” in nature, whether that be wind speed profile, energy crop yields, or angles of the sun at different times of the year.
The global transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy will be challenging. Our current economy depletes natural resources and pollutes the environment. It can, however, be designed to provide prosperity and abundance without pollution. And although there is no singular replacement for fossil fuels, a combination of all appropriate technologies, properly applied, can effectively provide energy and fuel to all people and all places on this planet.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
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.

Introduction
Slides by: Tom Overbye, University of Illinois
With additions by Ross Baldick, University of Texas
2. 2
Simple Power System
• Every large-scale power system has three major
components:
– generation: source of power, ideally with a specified
voltage and frequency
– load or demand: consumes power; ideally with a
constant resistive value
– transmission system: transmits power; ideally as a
perfect conductor
• Additional components include:
– distribution system: local reticulation of power (may be
in place of transmission system in case of microgrid),
– control equipment: coordinate supply with load.
3. 3
Complications
• No ideal voltage sources exist.
• Loads are seldom constant and are typically
not entirely resistive.
• Transmission system has resistance,
inductance, capacitance and flow limitations.
• Simple system has no redundancy so power
system will not work if any component fails.
4. 4
Power
• Power:
– Instantaneous rate of consumption of energy,
– How hard you work!
• Power = voltage x current for dc
• Power Units:
Watts = amps times volts (W)
kW – 1 x 103
Watt
MW – 1 x 106
Watt
GW – 1 x 109
Watt
• Installed U.S. generation capacity is about
1000 GW ( about 3 kW per person)
• Maximum load of Austin about 2500 MW.
• Maximum load of UT campus about 50 MW.
5. 5
Energy
• Energy:
– Integration of power over time,
– Energy is what people really want from a power
system,
– How much work you accomplish over time.
• Energy Units:
Joule = 1 watt-second (J)
kWh – kilowatthour (3.6 x 106
J)
Btu – 1055 J; 1 MBtu=0.292 MWh
• U.S. annual electric energy consumption is about 3600
billion kWh (about 13,333 kWh per person, which means
6. 6
Power System Examples
• Interconnection: can range from quite small, such
as an island, to one covering half the continent:
– there are four major interconnected ac power
systems in North America (five, if you count Alaska),
each operating at 60 Hz ac; 50 Hz is used in some
other countries.
• Airplanes and Spaceships: reduction in weight is
primary consideration; frequency is 400 Hz.
• Ships and submarines.
• Automobiles: dc with 12 volts standard and
higher voltages used in electric vehicles.
• Battery operated portable systems.
8. 8
Electric Systems in Energy Context
• Class focuses on electric power systems, but we
first need to put the electric system in context of
the total energy delivery system.
• Electricity is used primarily as a means for energy
transportation:
– Use other (“primary”) sources of energy to create
electricity, and electricity is usually converted into
another form of energy when used.
– Electricity is used by transforming into another form
of energy.
• About 40% of US energy is transported in electric
form.
9. Energy sources in US
Total primary energy in 2014:
About 81% Fossil Fuels
Source: EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2014
• About 40% of our total
energy is consumed in the
form of electricity, a
percentage that is gradually
increasing.
• The vast majority of the non-
fossil fuel energy is electric!
• In 2013 we got about 3%
of our electric energy from
wind and < 1% from solar (PV
and solar thermal): increasing
over time, but still small.
15. 15
Energy Economics
• Electric generating technologies involve a
tradeoff between fixed costs (primarily capital
costs to build them) and operating costs:
– Nuclear, wind, and solar high fixed costs, but low
operating costs,
– Natural gas has low fixed costs but relatively high
operating costs (dependent upon fuel prices)
– Coal in between (although recent low natural gas
prices has meant that some coal plants have higher
operating costs than some natural gas).
• Total average costs depend on fixed costs,
operating costs, and capacity factor (ratio of
average power production to capacity).
16. 16
Ball park operating Costs
Nuclear: $10/MWh
Coal: $40/MWh (some coal considerably lower)
Wind: couple $/MWh (maintenance and
operating)
Hydro: few $/MWh (maintenance and operating)
Solar: $0/MWh
Natural Gas:
cost in $/MWh is 7 to 20 times fuel cost in $/MBtu;
for example, with $8/MBtu gas, cost is $56/MWh to
$160/MWh; with $5/Mbtu gas, cost is $35/MWh to
$100/MWh.
Note, to get price in cents/kWh take price in $/MWh and
divide by 10.

19. Future mix of sources.
• Likely long-term low costs of gas and advent of
greatly increased renewables has already
changed the mix in Texas away from coal and
towards gas and wind:
– Wind already around 10% of electrical energy in
Texas,
– Coal traditionally in service throughout year, but
Texas asset owners may only run some coal in
Summer.
• Expect the trend to continue, especially if the US
(eventually) enacts climate change legislation.
20. 20
Goals of Power System Operation
• Supply load (users) with electricity at
– specified voltage (120 ac volts common for
residential),
– specified frequency,
– at minimum cost consistent with operating
constraints, safety, etc.
21. 21
Major Impediments
• Load is constantly changing:
• Electricity is not storable (stored by conversion
to other forms of energy),
• Power system is subject to disturbances, such
as lightning strikes.
• Engineering tradeoffs between reliability and
cost.

Brief History of Electric Power
• Early 1880’s – Edison introduced Pearl Street dc
system in Manhattan supplying 59 customers.
• 1884 – Sprague produces practical dc motor.
• 1885 – invention of transformer.
• Mid 1880’s – Westinghouse/Tesla introduce rival
ac system.
• Late 1880’s – Tesla invents ac induction motor.
• 1893 – First 3 phase transmission line operating
at 2.3 kV.
25. 25
History, cont’d
• 1896 – ac lines deliver electricity from hydro
generation at Niagara Falls to Buffalo, 20 miles
away.
• Early 1900’s – Private utilities supply all
customers in area (city); recognized as a
“natural monopoly” (cheapest for one firm to
produce everything because of “economies of
scale”); states step in to begin regulation.
• By 1920’s – Large interstate holding companies
control most electricity systems.
26. 26
History, cont’d
• 1935 – Congress passes Public Utility Holding
Company Act to establish national regulation,
breaking up large interstate utilities (repealed
2005).
• 1935/6 – Rural Electrification Act brought
electricity to rural areas.
• 1930’s – Electric utilities established as
vertical monopolies.
27. 27
Vertical Monopolies
• Within a particular geographic market, the
electric utility had an exclusive franchise
Generation
Transmission
Distribution
Customer Service
In return for this exclusive
franchise, the utility had the
obligation to serve all
existing and future customers
at rates determined jointly
by utility and regulators
It was a “cost plus” business:
Charge to retail customers set by
regulatory authority to be cost of
investment and operations plus
regulated return on investment.
28. 28
Vertical Monopolies
• Within its service territory each utility was the only game in
town.
• Neighboring utilities functioned more as colleagues than
competitors.
• Utilities gradually interconnected their systems so by 1970
transmission lines crisscrossed North America, with voltages
up to 765 kV.
• Economies of scale (bigger is cheaper per unit capacity)
coupled with growth in demand resulted in decreasing
average costs.
• Decreasing average costs together with strongly increasing
demand implied decreasing real prices to end-use
customers over time.
29. 29
History, cont’d -- 1970’s
• 1970’s brought inflation, stagnation of demand
growth, increased fossil-fuel prices, calls for
conservation and growing environmental
concerns.
• Increasing prices replaced decreasing ones.
• In that context, U.S. Congress passed Public
Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) in 1978,
which mandated utilities must purchase power
from independent generators located in their
service territory (modified 2005).
• PURPA introduced some competition.
30. 30
History, cont’d – 1990’s & 2000’s
• Major opening of industry to competition occurred as a
result of National Energy Policy Act of 1992.
• This act mandated that utilities provide “nondiscriminatory”
access to the high voltage transmission.
• Goal was to set up true competition in generation.
• Texas followed suit in 1996 and 1999.
• Result over the last few years has been a dramatic
restructuring of electric utility industry (for better or
worse!)
• Energy Bill 2005 repealed PUHCA; modified PURPA.
31. 31
Utility Restructuring
• Driven by significant regional variations in
electric rates, reflecting variations in generation
stock and endowments of natural resources.
• Goal of competition is to reduce prices and
increase efficiency:
– (in short term) through the introduction of
competition, and
– (in long term) competition’s incentives for
technological innovation.
• Allow consumers to choose their electricity
supplier.
