Breakdown in Electronegative Gases
Paschen's law Is an equation that gives the breakdown voltage, that is, the voltage necessary to start a discharge or electric arc, between two electrodes in a gas as a function of pressure and gap length. It is named after Friedrich Paschen who discovered it empirically in 1889. Paschen studied the breakdown voltage of various gases between parallel metal plates as the gas pressure and gap distance was varied:

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
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.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

9. The experimental arrangement is shown.The electrode system consists of
two uniform field electrodes. The high voltage electrode is connected to a
variable high voltage d.c. source (of 2 to 10 kV rating). The low voltage
electrode consists of a central electrode and a guard electrode. The
central electrode is connected to the ground through the high resistance
of an electrometer amplifier having an input resistance of 109 to 1013
ohms. The guard electrode is directly earthed. The electrometer amplifier
measures currents in the range 1(T14 to 10~8 A.
The electrode system is placed in an ionization chamber which is either a
metal chamber made of chromium plated mild steel or stainless steel, or a
glass chamber. The electrodes are usually made of brass or stainless steel.
The chamber is evacuated to a very high vacuum of the order of 1(T4 to
ICT6 torr. Then it is filled with the desired gas and flushed several times
till all the residual gases and air are removed. The pressure inside the
chamber is adjusted to a few torr depending on the gap separation and
left for about half an hour for the gas to fill the chamber uniformly. The
cathode is irradiated using an ultra-violet (U.V.) lamp kept outside the
chamber. The U.V. radiation produces the initiatory electrons (/IQ) by
photo-electric emission.
10. When the applied voltage is increased, the pulses disappear and an
average d.c. current is obtained as shown in Fig. In the initial portion
(To), the current increases slowly but unsteadily with the voltage applied.
In the regions TI and T2, the current increases steadily due to the
Townsend mechanism. Beyond T2 the current rises very sharply, and a
spark occurs.
11. For determining the a and y coefficients, the voltage-current
characteristics for different gap settings are obtained. From these results,
a log 7//o versus gap distance plot is obtained under constant field (E)
conditions as shown in Fig. The slope of the initial portion of the curves
gives the value of a.
12. High breakdown strength to a gas is the electron attachment.
The gases in which attachment plays an active role are called
electronegative gases.
Two types of attachment
a) Direct attachment: An electron directly attaches to form a negative
ion.
b) Dissociative attachment: The gas molecules split into their constituent
atoms and the electronegative atom forms a negative ion.

Townsend’s criteria required one electron present in

With rapidly varying voltages of short duration the
initiatory electron may not be present in the gap that
the breakdown can not occur
