ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Z source converter model:
• Conceptualized and developed simulation model for a Z source converter using PSCAD.
• Practically proved the advantages of Z source converter over traditional converters.
Harmonic filter design:
• Acquired in-depth knowledge about the harmonics and harmonic filters.
• Designed a passive harmonic filter by converting the shunt capacitor and therefore reducing the specific harmonic current.
• Evaluated the filter duty limits to make sure the designed filter was with in its capabilities and was verified with IEEE Standard 18-
1992, IEEE Standard for Shunt Power Capacitors.
• Analyzed if the designed filter could attenuate higher harmonic currents and later design modifications were specified so that the
filter will attenuate all the harmonic currents simultaneously.
Voltage sag ride through:
• Designed a system to keep the PLCs working during voltage sags in excess of 20% for a manufacturing line that was facing
shutdowns due to group of PLCs.
• Proposed an alternating source using vacuum interrupted padmount switchgear and constant voltage transformer for
industrial load. Alternate design for source transfer was proposed for hospital loads.
Grounding design for substation:
• The system was studied and the best-suited bus configuration was proposed for high reliability.
• Designed the grounding mat for the substation using MATLAB and calculated the fault currents.
• Proposed a diagram to supply the load with high reliability and power factor correction was made by installing the capacitor banks
on the primary bus.
Voltage stability:
• Explained the importance, types and factors effecting of voltage stability. Analyzed the voltage stability using a bus system.
• Designed a MATLAB program for Voltage Stability explaining the PV curve method and solution was discussed to maintain stable
voltage.
Fault current calculations:
• For the given bus the fault currents were calculated using MATLAB. The map and one line diagram of the system were shown
• .The L-L faults, symmetrical components of the fault currents, double line to ground fault, phase currents at the faulted bus and the
fault currents were computed.
Implementation of Power flow algorithm using sparsity techniques:
• Implemented Newton-Raphson power flow algorithm the IEEE 118-bus system using sparsity techniques.
• Calculated voltage magnitude and phase, power injection at the buses and branch power flows.
