Harmonic currents and their effect on distribution transformers

Literature review Introduction This project examines harmonic currents and their effect on distribution transformers. Details of transformer losses associated with harmonic currents will be discussed. Data from a residential distribution transformer will be used to illustrate the amount of harmonic current present. Harmonic currents have existed in electrical power systems for many years, but have … Read more

Power quality problems

1.1 INTRODUCTION Source current distortion has become a major power quality problem in industries and utility power system because of higher usage of nonlinear loads in the system. Voltage harmonics in power distribution systems arise due to current harmonics produced by the nonlinear loads. The non-sinusoidal currents through electrical systems and the distribution-transmission lines, additional … Read more

The objective of this project is to design and develop ground station software system along with a cost effective small satellite. The software will be developed using JAVA … Read more

The Cost of Transmission Services – An Overview

Abstract: Deregulation of the electric power utilities has recently increased tremendously throughout the globe. This has turned great interest of power system researchers in finding new pilgrims in the competitive market. In this paper, the various components affecting the transmission cost has been discussed. Particularly many transmission services and cost component of transmission price along … Read more

Error Producing Conditions within the work place

When an error occurs the conditions present at that time are known as ‘Local Factors’. In aircraft engineering the main areas of concern has to do with documentation, tool control, fatigue and time pressures. Documentation The largest number of incidents reported to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has to do with documentation errors, most of … Read more

Power generation and transmission

Power generation and transmission is a complex process, wherever power is to be transferred, the two main components are active and reactive power. In a three phase ac power system active and reactive power flows from the generating station to the load through different transmission lines and network buses. The active and reactive power flow … Read more

Designing, selecting an appropriate material based on mechanical properties

The word Damage was first used to predict the creep rupture of metals. The concept of continuum factor and effective stress was first introduced by Kachanov in 1958 in his study of fracture mechanics later than this study was taken to develop damage factor by Robotnov [1]. Damage mechanics is a topic of applied mechanics … Read more

Cement and concrete

Water, unsurprisingly, is the number one most consumed substance in the world. Concrete, surprisingly, is the second most consumed substance in the world. Concrete is created by mixing cement, water and aggregate. Cement is the vital binding component in the concrete production process. This combination is the most abundantly manufactured material in the world and … Read more

Resistance welding

Resistance welding is a method to join two metals that involves the application of force or pressure as well as electricity at a spot where the two metals touch. It is also known as resistance spot welding or resistance seam welding. The electricity creates resistance heat at the point where the two metals touch, creating … Read more

Automated Ticket Fare Collection of Public Transport Vehicle

Abstract: Buses are the most popular mode of public transport provided by Indian government. It is urgent requirement for public transport corporations to provide user friendly and less complicated service so that large number of people will make use of it for their day today life which results in high revenue. The current ticketing system … Read more

MEMS based flow sensor that simultaneously measures flow rate and direction

Abstract: A micromachined cantilever-based flow sensor is designed, depending on the detection of surface strain on the cantilever caused by the mass flow. In the continuous flow mode, the deflection of cantilever is directly proportional to the flow rate. The working mechanism of the strain beam in the flow sensor is analyzed using INTELLISUITE as the finite … Read more
