Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

•Failure of conducting path due to broken conductors.
•Failure of solid insulation due to aging, heat, moisture,
overvoltage , accidental contact with earth or earth screens,
flash over voltages and etc.,
35. A power system fault may be defined as any
condition or abnormality of the system which
involves the electrical failure of primary equipment
such as generators, transformers, busbars,
overhead lines and cables and all other items of
plant which operate at power system voltage.
Electrical failure generally implies one or the other
(or both) of two types of failure, namely insulation
failure resulting in a short-circuit condition or
conducting path failure resulting in an open-circuit
condition, the former being by far the more
common type of failure.
FAULT IN POWER SYSTEM
36. Symmetrical fault
Faults giving rise to equal currents in lines
displaced by equal phase angles i.e., 120o in three
phase systems.
Example: short circuit of all three phase conductors of a
cable at a single location
Unsymmetrical fault
Faults in which not all the line currents are equal and not
all have the same phase.
Example (any one): single phase line to ground fault (L-
G), two phase to ground (LL-G) fault and phase to phase
(L-L) fault.
FAULT IN POWER SYSTEM

72. The process of connecting the metallic frame (i.e.
non-current carrying part) of electrical
equipment or some electrical part of the system
to earth (i.e. soil) is called grounding or
earthing.
Grounding or earthing may be classified as :
(i) Equipment grounding
(ii) System grounding
73. Equipment Grounding
The process of connecting non-current-carrying
metal parts of the electrical equipment to earth.
System Grounding
•The process of connecting some electrical part of the
power system to earth (i.e. soil) is called system
grounding.
75. Neutral Grounding
Connecting neutral point to earth (i.e. soil) either
directly or some circuit element
(e.g. resistance, reactance , Peterson coil etc.)
is called neutral grounding.
Neutral grounding provides protection to equipment.
(during earth fault, the current path is completed
neutral)
76. Advantages of Neutral Grounding
(i)Voltages of the healthy phases do not exceed line to
ground voltages i.e. they remain nearly constant.
(ii)The high voltages due to arcing grounds are
eliminated.
(iii) Life of insulation is long.
(iv) The over voltages is reduced.
(v) It provides greater safety to personnel and equipment.
(vi)It provides improved service reliability.
(vii)Operating and maintenance expenditures are
reduced.
77. Methods of Neutral Grounding
(i) Solid or effective grounding
(ii) Resistance grounding
(iii) Reactance grounding
(iv) Peterson-coil grounding
(v) Voltage transformer earthing
79. When the neutral point of a 3-phase system is
directly connected to earth (i.e. soil) is called
solid grounding or effective grounding.
When an earth fault occurs between earth and
any one phase , the voltage to earth of the faulty
phase becomes zero, but the healthy phases
remains at normal phase values.
Fault current(IF) completely nullified by
capacitive current(IC)
80. (ii) Resistance grounding
When the neutral point of a 3-phase system (e.g. 3-phase generator,
3-phase transformer etc.) is connected to earth (i.e. soil) through a resistor, it
is called resistance grounding.
81. Advantages:
Byadjusting thevalueof R, thearcing groundscan be minimized.
It improves thestability
Less interference
Minimize hazards
Disadvantages:
Byadjusting thevalueof R, thearcing groundscan be minimized.
It improves thestability
Less interference
Minimize hazards
82. (iii) Reactance grounding
•In this system, a reactance is inserted between the neutral and ground
•The purpose of reactance is to limit the earth fault current.
Disadvantages :
(i) In this system, the fault current required to operate the protective device
is higher than that of resistance grounding for the same fault conditions.
(ii) High transient voltages appear under fault conditions.
83.
84. If inductance L of appropriate value is connected in
parallel with the capacitance of the system, the fault
current IF flowing through L will be in phase
opposition to the capacitive current IC of the system.
If L is so adjusted that,
IL = IC
then resultant current in the fault will be zero. This
condition is known as Resonant Grounding.
When the value of L of arc suppression coil is
such that the fault current IF exactly balances the
capacitive current IC , it is called resonant grounding.
85. •An arc suppression coil (also called Peterson coil) is an iron-cored coil
connected between the neutral and earth.
•The reactor is provided with tappings to change the inductance of the
coil.
•By adjusting the tappings on the coil, the coil can be tuned with the
capacitance of the system i.e. resonant grounding can be achieved.
86. • Suppose line to ground fault occurs in the line B at point
F. The fault current IF and capacitive currents IR and IY will
flow as shown in Fig
•Note that IF flows through the Peterson coil (or Arc
suppression coil) to neutral and back through the fault. The
total capacitive current IC is the phasor sum of IR & IY
as shown in phasor diagram in Fig.
•The voltage of the faulty phase is applied across the arc
suppression coil. Therefore, fault current IF lags the faulty
phase voltage by 90°.
•The current IF is in phase opposition to capacitive
current IC [See Fig].
By adjusting the tappings on the Peterson coil, the
resultant current in the fault can be reduced. If inductance
of the coil is so adjusted that IL= IC , then resultant current
in the fault will be zero.
87.
88.
89. v. voltage Transformer Earthing
In this method of neutral earthing , the primary of a
single-phase voltage transformer is connected
between the neutral and the earth as shown in Fig
A low resistor in series with a relay is connected
across the secondary of the voltage transformer. The
voltage transformer provides a high reactance in the
neutral earthing circuit and operates virtually as an
ungrounded neutral system.
92. Protection Against Over Voltage Due

During Operation , PS equipments such asGenerator,
transformer, Tx.lines maysubject to OverVoltage.
OVoccursdue to Lightning, opening of CB & soon.
Causes Of OV
Internal Cause
External Cause
94. Types of Over Voltages
* Power Frequency OV
* Switching OV
* Lightning OV
95. Power Frequency OV
Does not have damaging effects like switching or lightning
surges
It will be harmful, if sustained for longer duration
Mainly due to
Ground faults
Sudden load rejection
Loose connection
96. Switching OV
Also known as Switching surge or over voltage transient
Sudden rise of voltage for a very short duration in PS
network is known as transient voltage or voltage surge
An electrical transient appears, if there is sudden change
in the state of energy in PS network. This sudden change
is due to
i. Closing a Switch
ii. Opening a Switch
iii. Occurrence of fault in system
To control the switching OV , Resistor is inserted
between the contacts while switching off the circuit
97. Lightning OV
Lightning is an electric discharge between cloud & Earth or between
clouds.
It is basically a hugespark
A large number of discharge occurs between or with in cloudsthan
to earth & enough of them terminate on the earth causing serious
hazards.
Following actionsof the lightning strokegenerate transients:
* Direct Stroke to Phase Conductor
* Stroke to earth very close to line
99. What is surge ?
Surges disturbances on a power waveform
that can damage, or destroy equipment
within any home, commercial building, or
manufacturing facility.
Surges are measured in microseconds.
100. Surge diverters
A surge diverter is a piece of equipment that
diverts excess voltages to earth, thus protecting
sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.
The surge diverter is normally installed in the
main switchboard.
101. Requirement of surge diverter :
Itshould not pass anycurrent at normal and abnormal
power frequencyvoltage.
Itshould breakdown as quicklyas possibleafter the
abnormal high frequency voltagearrives.
It should not only protect the equipment for which it is
used but should dischargecurrent withoutdamaging itself.
Itshould interruptpower frequency follow current after the
surge is discharge toground.
102. Types of surge diverters
Rod gap
Protectortubeorexpulsion typesurgediverter
Valve type surgediverter
103. 1. Rod gap :
It is avery simple typeof diverterand consistsof two
1.5 cmrods.
One rod is connected tothe linecircuit and theother
rod is connected toearth.
Thedistance betweengapand insulator must not be
less than one third of the gap length so that the arc
may not reach the insulatorand damage it.
The rod gap should be so set that it breaks down to a
voltage not less than 30% below thevoltagewithstand
level of the equipment to beprotected.
Presented by C.GOKUL,AP/EEE ,Velalar College of Engg & Tech , Erode
105. The string of insulators for an overhead line on
the bushing of transformer has frequently a rod
gap acrossit.
Under normal operating conditions, thegap
remains non-conducting.
On the occurrence of a high voltage surge on the
line, the gap sparks over and the surge current is
conducted toearth.
In this wayexcess charge on the linedue to the
surge is harmlessly conducted toearth
106. Limitations :
Afterthe surge is over, thearc in the gap is maintained
by the normal supply voltage, leading to short-circuit
on thesystem.
The rods may meltorgetdamaged due toexcessive
heat produced by thearc.
The climatic conditions (e.g. rain, humidity,
temperatureetc.) affect the performance of rod gap
arrester.
The polarityof the surgealsoaffects the performance
of this arrester.
107. 2.Expulsion type surge diverter
This typeof arrester is alsocalled ‘protectortube’ and
is commonly used on system operating at voltages up
to 33kV.
Itessentiallyconsistsof a rod gap in series with a
second gapenclosed within the fiber tube.
The gap in the fiber tube is formed by twoelectrodes.
The upperelectrode isconnected torod gapand the
lowerelectrode to theearth.
109. The series gap is set to arc over at a specified voltage
lowerthan thewithstand voltageof theequipment to
be protected.
The follow-oncurrent is confined to the space inside
the relatively small fibretube.
Part of the tube material vaporizes, and the high
pressuregases so formed areexpelled through thevent
at the lowerend of the tube, causing the power follow-
in arc to beextinguished.
The device, therefore, has the desiredself-clearing
property.
110. Advantages
They are not veryexpensive.
They can be easilyinstalled.
Theyare improved form of rod gaparresters as they
block the flow of powerfrequency followcurrents.
111. Limitations
An expulsion type arrester can perform only limited
numberof operations as during each operation some
of the fiber material is usedup.
This type of arrester cannot be mounted on enclosed
equipmentdue todischargeof gasesduring operation.
Due to the poorvolt/ampcharacteristic of thearrester,
it is not suitable forprotection of expensiveequipment
112. 3. Valve type
Valve type arresters incorporate non linear
resistorsand areextensivelyused on systems,
operating at highvoltages.
Itconsistsof twoassemblies (i) series spark gaps
and (ii) non-linear resistordiscs
The non-linearelementsareconnected in series
with the spark gaps. Both the assemblies are
accommodated in tight porcelaincontainer.
The spark gap is a multipleassemblyconsisting
of a numberof identical spark gaps in series.
Each gapconsistsof twoelectrodeswith fixed
gap spacing.
113. The spacing of the seriesgaps is such that itwill
withstand the normal circuitvoltage.
An over voltage will cause the gap to break down
causing the surge current to ground via the non-
linearresistors.
The non-linear resistor discs are made of
inorganic compound such as thyriteor metrosil.
These discs are connected inseries.
The non-linear resistors have the property of
offering a high resistance tocurrent flow when
normal system voltage is applied, but a low
resistance to the flowof high surgecurrents.
114. When the surge is overthe non linearresistor
assume high resistance to stop the flow of
current.
115. Under normal conditions, the normal system
voltage is insufficient tocause the breakdown of
air gapassembly.
On the occurrence of an over voltage, the
breakdown of the series spark gap takes place
and the surgecurrent is conducted toearth via
the nonlinearresistances.
Since the magnitude of surge current is very
large, the nonlinearelements will offeravery low
resistance to the passage ofsurge.
The surgewill rapidlygo toearth instead of being
sent back over theline.
116. ADVANTAGES :
They provideveryeffective protectionagainst
surges.
They operatevery rapidly taking less than a
second
The impulse ratio is practicallyunity.
117. Limitations :
They may fail to check the surge of very steep
wave front reaching the terminal apparatus.This
calls for additional steps to check steep fronted
waves.
Their performance is adversely affected by the
entry of moisture into the enclosure. This
necessitateseffectivesealing of theenclosureat
all times.
119. Surge Absorber
The Device which reduces the steepness of the wave
frontof a particularsurge & thus minimizes thedanger
due toovervoltage is known as surgeabsorber.
Note:
Surge Diverter : Diverts the Surge to earth
Surge Absorber : Absorbs theSurge energy
120. Types of Surge Absorber
Ferranti Surgeabsorber
ERA Surgeabsorber
121. Ferranti Surge absorber
It consists of an air core inductor
connected Series in line &
surrounded by an earth metallic sheet
(ie) dissipater.
Whenever a travelling wave is incident
on the surge absorber, energy is
transformed by mutual inductance
between coil & dissipater. ie., the
energy contained in the wave is
dissipated in the form of heat.
Because of the series inductance the
steepness of the wave is also
reduced.
Dissipater
Air coredinductor
122. ERA Surge Absorber
Improved form of Surge absorber is
the Electrical Research
Association type surgefilter.
G – Gap ; E – Expulsion gap
When a wave reaches the L, a high
voltage is induced across it causing
the gap G to breakdown putting
the R and E intocircuit.
Thus incoming wave get flattened
by L & R and its amplitude is
reduced by E.
124. Insulation Coordination
Correlating (link) apparatus insulation with insulation
of the protective device to achieve overall protection is
known as insulationcoordination.
The insulation strength of variousequipmentsshould
be higher than that of lightning arresters and other
surge protectivedevices.
125. In its simplest form,
Insulation Coordination
is the selection of
insulation strength.
Characteristics of
lightning arrestorshould
be correlated with
equipment isolation
126. The insulation of theline
lightning arrestor &
equipment should be
coordinated.
Curve A relates toProtective
device
Curve B – equipment to be
protected
Protective device must have
insulation characteristics
which must be lie below the
insulation characteristics of
instrument to beprotected.
127. A perfect insulation coordination must
satisfy the following conditions:
The insulation should withstand bothoperating
voltage & voltagesurges
Thedischargeof OVdue to internal orexternal causes
must flow toground efficiently.
Onlyexternal flashovershould cause breakdown
128. Basic Impulse Insulation Level (BIL)
It is defined as “a reference level expressed in
impulse crest voltage with a standard wave not
longer than 1.5*40 micro seconds wave”.
