Underground cables have several advantages over overhead cables including better appearance, reduced damage from external factors like storms and lighting, lower maintenance costs, and fewer faults. Underground cables consist of one or more insulated conductors surrounded by protective layers. Key components include the conductor, insulation like paper or rubber, a metallic sheath, bedding, armor for protection, and an outer serving. Different types are used for various voltage applications up to extra high voltage cables over 33kV. Selection depends on factors like the number of cores needed, insulation material, and whether solid or pressure cables are required.
Cables are often the last component considered during system design even if in many situations cables are the true system’s lifeline: if a cable fails, the entire system may stop. Cable reliability is therefore extremely important, then a cable system should be engineered to last the life of the system in the installation environment for the required application. Environments in which cable systems are being used are often challenging, as extreme temperatures, chemicals, abrasion, and extensive flexing. These variables have a direct impact on the materials used for cable insulation and jacketing as well as the construction of the cable. Using a systematic approach will help ensure that designer select the best cable for the required application in the installation environment. This lessons will provide students main guidelines for perform this approach.

1) Many power plant events are complex to analyze and often involve human error, especially during commissioning of new plants. Accurately documenting events and sharing lessons learned is important.
2) Protective relays and their coordination, along with oscillographic records, play a key role in preventing damage and speeding return to service after events occur.
3) Common event types discussed include multi-phase faults, stator ground faults, inadvertent energizing, overexcitation, loss-of-field, and generator breaker failures. Close attention to relay settings and logic is needed to mitigate risks.
1) Voltage collapse is a major cause of recent blackouts due to increased reliance on remote generation and lack of transmission expansion. As transmission lines trip, reactive power losses increase, reducing voltage.
2) Generators provide reactive power (VARs) to support system voltage through their automatic voltage regulators (AVRs). During low voltage events, AVRs and generator protection systems may not be able to maintain stable operation.
3) Undervoltage load shedding is used to prevent total system collapse by automatically removing certain loads if voltage drops below a threshold for a set time period. This helps restore the balance between generation and load.
Transformers transfer energy from one circuit to another through magnetic coupling and are used to transform voltage levels for transmission and distribution. They operate on the principles that voltage in equals voltage out and turns ratio determines the voltage transformation. Transformers are widely used throughout power systems and come in different configurations, ratings, and winding arrangements to serve various applications including generation, transmission, distribution, and end use.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

IMPEDANCE
● DEFINITION
The percentage of rated voltage required to circulate rated current in one
winding with the other winding short circuited.
● EXAMPLE
A transformer with a 5.75% impedance and a 480 volt low voltage winding
would require (0.0575 x 480 volt) or 27.6 volts to circulate rated current.
● IN SHORT
Impedance is simply the opposition to the flow of current in the transformers
windings.
(Impedance has a resistive and an inductive component.)
68. Schneider Electric 68- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
IMPEDANCE
● High or Low Impedance does not necessarily mean Low or High Efficiency.
● Impedance consists of two components:
1) A Resistive Component
2) A Reactive Component
%IZ = ( % IR ) 2 + ( % IX ) 2
69. Schneider Electric 69- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Efficiency
Definition:
The ratio of power absorbed by the transformer to the total power drawn from the supply
line.
Efficiency can be calculated using the following formula:
EFF = [1 - (Y + (L)2 (X))/(100L + Y + (L)2 x)] 100
Where X = % IR @ 100% Load
Cosine 0
Cosine 0 = Power Factor Cosine 0 = Power Factor
% IR = Load Loss (KW) x 100 % FE = No Load Loss (KW) x 100
Rated kVA Rated kVA
Y = % FE @ 100% Load L = Load Factor = % Load
Cosine 0 (Per Unit Load) 100
70. Schneider Electric 70- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Example:
What is the efficiency at 100% load and 1.0 power factor of the 75kVA
transformer with:
No-Load Loss: 341 Watts
Load Loss: 1478 Watts
Impedance: 3.45 %
% IR = (1.478/75) x 100 = 1.97
PF = 1.0
X = % IR = 1.97 = 1.97

71. Schneider Electric 71- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Heat Dissipation
Some consultants think that a transformer with a lower
temperature rise is better for vault and indoor applications. This
is not correct.
Transformers have losses.
Each watt of total loss = 3.413 BTU/Hr
Multiply the total loss by this value to determine the heat which
must be dissipated by air conditioning, ventilation, etc.
72. Schneider Electric 72- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Tests
● WINDING RESISTANCE
● PURPOSE: The fundamental purpose of this test is to supply resistance data which
will be used to calculate I2R conductor losses and winding temperatures. It also
enables a check of coil continuity and hence, is often used in the field as an indicator
of possible damage to any internal coil connections.
● RATIO, POLARITY, AND PHASE RELATION
● PURPOSE: To verify that the transformer has the correct number of turns in each
winding (ratio and that the polarity and phase relationship of the windings are correct.
● INSULATION POWER FACTOR
● PURPOSE: To verify that the transformer has been properly dried and that its
moisture content is not excessive. Insulation power factor is defined as the ratio of
power dissipated in the transformer insulation (in watts) to the product of the effective
voltage and current (in volt-amperes) while being tested with a sine-wave voltage.
73. Schneider Electric 73- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Tests
●EXCITATION LOSS
● PURPOSE: To verify that excitation losses, which consist primarily of winding losses
due to exciting current and losses in the transformer’s core, meet guaranteed values
promised to the customer.
●EXCITATION CURRENT
● PURPOSE: To verify core construction quality
●LOAD LOSS
● PURPOSE: To verify that the load losses meet the guarantees given to a customer.
●IMPEDANCE
● PURPOSE: To verify guarantees given to the customer.
74. Schneider Electric 74- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Dielectric Tests
● APPLIED POTENTIAL TEST
● PURPOSE: To verify that the dielectric strength of the insulation from
winding to ground and winding to winding is adequate.
● PROCEDURE: A voltage level defined by IEEE is applied to the winding
under test for a period of 60 seconds. (34KV for 15 KV, 95KV BIL Units)
● INDUCED POTENTIAL TEST
● PURPOSE: To verify the insulation between turns and layers of the same
winding, and phase to phase clearance is sufficient.
● PROCEDURE: A special high frequency generator is used to prevent the
core from saturating due to the high voltage that is induced in the winding.
(120, 180, 240 or 400 Hz are commonly used). A voltage up to two times
the rating of the winding is applied for a period of 7200 cycles.
75. Schneider Electric 75- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Impulse Test
● PURPOSE
● To verify that the transformer
insulation (BIL) can withstand the
transient over voltages.
● TYPES OF IMPULSE TESTS
● Half Wave
● Full Wave
● Chopped Wave: A more severe
test as it simulates a transient that is
chopped to ground by an arrester
QC impulse is done on all of our
products. This impulse test includes
full and half wave. The Chopped
Wave is included when ANSI
Impulse Test is included in the
specification.
76. Schneider Electric 76- Projects and Services – PEC – MV Transformers - 2010
Design Tests
●TEMPERATURE RISE TEST
● PURPOSE: To verify that the top oil and winding temperature rise does not
exceed the guaranteed levels under full load operation.
●SOUND LEVEL TEST
● PURPOSE: To verify that the sound level produced by the transformer is
within guaranteed values. The principle noise associated with transformers,
aside from that produced by any cooling fans, is an audible hum due to a
phenomenon called Magnetostriction. When core steel is excited by a
magnetic field it contracts slightly. This dimensional change which occurs
120 times per second for a 60 cycle system (once every half cycle) is
defined as Magnetostriction.
