Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution. The components and electrical machines used in the whole process of Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution.
Smart grid can enhance legacy electric systems (i.e. the traditional electricity infrastructure) by improving reliability and security; additional smart grid can offer economic benefits and cost savings, environmental improvement, and so … Read more
The general technique of supplying large quantity of power to factories or other complexes is by means of high-voltage (HV) supply, typically at 11 kV, occasionally at 6.6 kV. The installation consists of a main substation at the point of … Read more
Electrical energy is generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of AC. Since, alternating voltage can be changed in magnitude by means of a transformer; it is possible to transmit AC power at high voltage which reduces the current … Read more
Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) are electromechanical devices that protect an electrical circuit from over currents, in other words, MCBs are switches that automatically turns OFF when the current flowing them exceeds the maximum allowable limit. Over currents in an electrical … Read more
Generally fluid power systems tend to be insufficient, requiring much more energy input to the fluid than what is extracted at the points of use. When large amounts of energy need to be transmitted over long distances, electricity is a … Read more
Photovoltaic panels differ in their ability to connect components. Photovoltaic cells can be combined in two ways: parallel and series. Each has different features, such as how to connect photovoltaic panels.
What are the characteristics of both types of modules?… Read more
Power line communication (PLC) (i.e. the sending of data over the existing power cables) plays an important role in smart grid operation; Power line communication networks can access smart meters that are connected to feeders, the smart meter receives a … Read more
The greater part of the substations in the power systems are focused on changing of the voltage level of the electric supply. These are termed to as transformer substations since the transformer is the key component used to change the … Read more
A substation can be defined as an assembly of apparatus used to change some characteristics like voltage, AC, DC, frequency, power factor, etc., of electric supply.
Substations play a key role in power systems. The continuity of supply depends largely … Read more
