Industrial Training in 2×3.14MVA 33/11 KV substation.rohitkashiv2020
### Overview of a 33/11KV Substation
A 33/11KV substation is a critical infrastructure in electrical power distribution systems, acting as a node where voltage levels are transformed from high to medium levels to facilitate safe and efficient distribution of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. These substations are strategically located to optimize the distribution network and ensure reliable and stable power supply.
### Function and Importance
The primary function of a 33/11KV substation is to step down the voltage from 33KV to 11KV using transformers. This voltage transformation is essential because high voltage (33KV) is more efficient for transmitting power over long distances due to reduced losses, while lower voltage (11KV) is safer and more practical for local distribution.
#### Key Roles:
1. **Voltage Transformation**: The core function involves stepping down the voltage from 33KV to 11KV.
2. **Protection and Control**: It ensures the safe operation of the electrical network by incorporating various protection and control mechanisms.
3. **Power Distribution**: It serves as a distribution point to various feeders that supply power to different areas.
### Components of a 33/11KV Substation
A 33/11KV substation comprises several key components, each playing a vital role in the substation's operation:
#### Transformers
The main component of a substation is the transformer. A 33/11KV transformer typically has a capacity ranging from 5MVA to 40MVA, depending on the load requirements. These transformers are designed to handle the high voltage input and step it down to a manageable level.
#### Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers are essential for protecting the substation and connected circuits from faults and overloads. At a 33/11KV substation, both 33KV and 11KV circuit breakers are used. These devices can quickly interrupt current flow in case of an abnormal condition, preventing damage to equipment and ensuring safety.
#### Isolators
Isolators are used to disconnect parts of the substation for maintenance and repair. They are not intended to interrupt load current but to ensure a section is de-energized for safe access.
#### Busbars
Busbars are conductors that serve as a central point for electricity distribution within the substation. They collect power from incoming lines and distribute it to outgoing feeders. The design and construction of busbars are crucial for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of the power distribution system.
#### Switchgear
Switchgear in a substation includes various switches, fuses, and relays that control and protect the electrical equipment. High voltage switchgear handles the 33KV input, while medium voltage switchgear manages the 11KV output. Modern substations use metal-clad or gas-insulated switchgear for enhanced safety and compact design.
#### Protective Relays
Protective relays monitor electrical parameters and trigger circuit breakers in case of faults

Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

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.

2. SWITCHYARD
where high
Switchyard means collection of electrical equipment,
voltage electricity is switched using of various component.
Electrical switchyards are usually part of a substation where electricity
is transformed from one voltage to another for the transmission,
distribution.
5. Cont..
A static electrical machine used for transforming power from one
circuit to another circuit without changing frequency is termed as
Power transformer .
The transformers are generally used to step down or step up the
voltage levels of a system for transmission and generation purpose.
These transformers are classified into different types based on their
design, utilization purpose, installation methods.
7. Potential transformer
Potential transformer is quite similar to the current transformer, but it
is used for taking samples of high voltages of a system for providing
low-voltage to the relays of protection system and also to the low-
rating meters for voltage measurement.
Using this low-voltage measurement, the actual system’s high voltage
can be calculated without measuring high voltages directly to avoid the
cost of the measurement system.
8. Current transformer
Current transformers are basically used to take the readings of the
currents entering the substation.
This transformer steps down the current from 800 amps to 1 amp.
This is done because we have no instrument for measuring of such a
large current
9. Conductor
The material or object that obeys the electrical property conductance (mostly made of
metals such as aluminum and copper) and that allows the flow of electric charge is
called conductor.
Conductors permit free movement of the flow of electrons through them. These are
used for the transmission of power or electrical energy from one place (generating
station) to another place.
Conductors are of different types and mostly aluminum conductors are preferred in
practical power systems.
11. Cont..
The metal which does not allow free movement of electrons or electric
charge is called as an insulator.
Hence, insulators resist electricity with their high resisting property.
There are different types of insulators such as suspension type, strain
type, stray type, shackle, pin type and so on.
A few types of insulators are shown in the above figure. Insulators are
used for insulation purpose while erecting electric poles with
conductors to avoid short circuit and for other insulation requirements.
13. Cont..
Isolator is a manually operated mechanical switch that isolates the
faulty section or the section of a conductor or a part of a circuit of
substation meant for repair from a healthy section in order to avoid
occurrence of more severe faults.
Hence, it is also called as a disconnector or disconnecting switch. There
are different types of isolators used for different applications such as
single-break isolator, double-break isolator, bus isolator, line isolator,
etc.
15. Cont..
The conductor carrying current and having multiple numbers of
incoming and outgoing line connections can be called as bus bar, which
is commonly used in substations.
These are classified into different types
•Single bus
•Double bus
•Ring bus.
17. Cont..
The substation equipments such as conductors, transformers, etc., are
always erected outdoor.
Whenever light surges occur then, a high-voltage pass through these
electrical components causing damage to them (either temporary or
permanent damage based on the amount of voltage surge).
Therefore, to avoid this difficulty, lightening arresters are placed to
pass the entire lightening surges to earth.
There are other arresters which are used to ground the switching
surges called as surge arresters.
19. Cont..
A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch
designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by
overload or short circuit.
Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting
continuity, to immediately discontinue electrical flow.
It can make or break a circuit either manually or by remote under
normal or fault conditions.
Actuator lever - used to manually trip and reset the circuit breaker.
Actuator mechanism - forces the contacts together or apart,
Contacts - Allow current when touching and break the current when
moved apart Terminals Bimetallic strip.
20. Cont..
Circuit breaker are used for all type of voltage.
It is using in high power laboratories.
It is using outdoor as well as indoor.
Mostly used circuit breakers are Oil circuit breaker, Air circuit breaker,
SF6 circuit breaker, Vacuum Circuit Breaker, and so on.
22. Cont..
Relays are used for disconnecting the circuits by manual or automatic
operation using circuit breakers.
Relay consists of the coil which is excited or energized and such that
making the contacts of relay closed activates the relay to break or
make the circuit connection.
There are different types of relays such as over current relays, definite
time over current relays, voltage relays, auxiliary relays, reclosing
relays, solid state relays, directional relays, inverse time over current
relays, microcontroller relays, etc. The above figure shows some basic
relays and their operation.
24. Cont..
A Capacitor bank is a set of many identical capacitors connected in
series or parallel within a enclosure and is used for the power factor
correction and basic protection of substation.These capacitor banks are
acts as a source of reactive power, and thus, the phase difference
between voltage and current can be reduced by the capacitor banks.
They will increase the ripple current capacity of the supply. It avoids
undesirable characteristics in the power system. It is the most
economical method for maintaining power factor and of correction of
the power lag problems
25. Miscellaneous equipment
Emerging trends
advancement in
in technological development have created
the substation installation and maintenance. For
example, SCADA, supervisory control and data acquisition technique
made it possible to control a substation automatically from a remote
location.
