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
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
The cycloconverter provides direct ac to ac transformation with control over both the output voltage magnitude and output frequency. It employs phase-angle-controlled bridges to synthesize voltages.
The most common form is the three-phase to three-phase converter illustrated below:
Electrical equipment has to be designed and constructed in such a way as to withstand the foreseeable loading during its lifetime under normal and emergency conditions. It is therefore necessary to install devices for the protection of equipment which limit … Read more
To be able to manage and control a power system, the network engineer requires reliable and current information about the state of the network. He obtains this information from power flows, bus voltages, frequency and load levels along with the … Read more
AC and DC power isn’t new and yet it has been two main types of power we are taking advantage of even in the modern age we live in.
But did you ever understand the difference between AC and DC … Read more
The transformer, in simple terms can be defined as the voltage regulator. It helps in stepping up and stepping down of the voltages. We all have seen transformers in our locality, where the current is passed from higher voltage … Read more
The term supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) refers to the network of computer processors that provide control and monitoring of remote electrical or mechanical operation e.g. management of power distribution grid or the control of mechanical processes in a … Read more
A solar panel is also known as photo-voltaic panel which has solar cells mounted on a framework and installed. It basically uses the sunlight as the ultimate source of energy and then generates it directly in the form of electricity … Read more
Automatic voltage Controllers hold a regular voltage level to electrical tools loads that require a steady, dependable voltage supply. With a range of voltage regulation equipment to select from, it can be difficult to pick the excellent one for your … Read more
