The unsteady implementation of the conceptual model of deregulation of electric utility industry in many countries has caused significant consequences in the overall health of the general population of large power transformers [LPTs]. LPTs are now subject to adverse conditions…

Pipeline tubes are part of vital mechanical systems largely used in petrochemical industries. They serve to transport natural gases or liquids. They are cylindrical tubes and are submitted to the risks of corrosion due to high PH concentrations of the…

This paper considers the solution of fully fuzzy linear system (FFLS) by first reducing the system to crisp linear system. The novelty of this article lies in the application of Gauss elimination procedure with implicit partial pivoting to FFLS. The…

This paper presents the various advantages of Thyristor Controller Series Capacitor (TCSC), both as a Power Flow Controller, as well as a Short Circuit limiter during faults. The results have been derived and verified from the software PSCAD, and the…

The Schmitt Trigger is a comparator circuit that incorporates positive feedback. Noise is being ignored by CMOS Schmitt Trigger as the hysteresis in a Schmitt Trigger circuit offers a better noise margin and noise stable operation. And the simulation has…

The main objective of a soft switching circuit is to reduce the switching losses in a static converter when is switched at high frequency. In this paper a DC link fuzzy logic controller applied to a VSC (voltage source converter).…

The Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device has been rapidly evolving and its size has been drastically decreasing ever since it was first fabricated in 1960 [Us Patent 3,356,858: 1967]. The substantial reduction in the CMOS device size has led to short…

The present paper discusses decision support system for boiler unit of a coal-fired thermal power plant. The boiler unit consists of five subsystems arranged in series and parallel based configurations. The decision support system for boiler unit has been developed…

The Fiber Bragg gratings have emerged as important components in several of light wave applications in the FBG becoming a ubiquitous and necessary element in equipment located throughout the network from the central office to the home. This paper explores…

Congestion management is one of the most important issues for secure and reliable system operations in deregulated electricity market. In most cases, Independent System Operator tries to remove congestion by rescheduling output power of the generators. In this paper, transmission…
