Series & shunt compensation and FACTs Deviceskhemraj298
Series compensation is used to improve the performance of extra high voltage transmission lines by connecting capacitors in series with the line. It allows for increased transmission capacity and improved system stability by reducing the phase angle between sending and receiving end voltages for the same power transfer. Shunt compensation controls the receiving end voltage by connecting shunt capacitors or reactors to meet reactive power demand and prevent voltage drops or rises. Flexible AC transmission systems use high-speed thyristors to switch transmission line components like capacitors and reactors to control parameters like voltages and reactances to optimize power transfer.

Transmission lines have four parameters that characterize them: resistance, inductance, capacitance, and conductance. These distributed parameters determine the power carrying capacity and voltage drop across the line. Short lines only consider the series resistance and inductance, while medium and long lines must also account for the distributed shunt capacitance. The resistance of overhead transmission lines is affected by factors like skin effect, temperature, bundling of conductors, and proximity effect between phases.
The Ferranti effect occurs when the distributed capacitance of a long transmission line draws more current than the load at the receiving end during light or no load conditions. This capacitor charging current causes a voltage drop across the line inductance that increases additively along the line length, resulting in the receiving end voltage becoming larger than the sending end voltage. Both the capacitance and inductance effects of long transmission lines contribute to the Ferranti effect. For example, a 300km line operating at 50Hz may experience a 5% higher receiving end voltage under no load conditions. Shunt reactors at the receiving end can help reduce the Ferranti effect by absorbing excess reactive power during light loads.

A transformer is a static device that changes alternating current (AC) at one voltage level to AC at another voltage level through electromagnetic induction. It consists of two coils, the primary and secondary windings, wrapped around a laminated iron core. When an alternating current is applied to the primary winding, it produces an alternating magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary winding. This allows the transformer to step up or step down voltages without changing the frequency. The transformer transfers power between its two coils through electromagnetic coupling between the coils wound around the iron core.

Analysis of Transformer Loadings and Failure Rate in Onitsha Electricity Dist...Dr. Hachimenum Amadi
This study analyzed transformer loadings and failure rates in the Onitsha electricity distribution network in Nigeria from 2011-2015. Electrical data from the network was simulated using ETAP software to determine transformer loadings, while questionnaires assessed failure rates. The findings showed an average transformer failure rate of 11.7% during the study period, higher than rates in developed countries. Major causes of failure included insulation issues (24.2%), overloading (22.5%), and inadequate maintenance (16.4%). The Army Barracks substation had the highest failure rate of 23.8%. The study recommends installing more transformers, using high quality transformers, balancing loads, and improving maintenance to increase reliability.
The document discusses ionization processes in gases that lead to electrical breakdown. It introduces several key concepts:
- Ionization occurs through collisional processes that give electrons enough energy to liberate other electrons, creating an avalanche.
- Townsend's theory describes the exponential growth of this avalanche current as more electrons ionize more atoms. The growth depends on the ionization coefficient α.
- Secondary processes like photon emission can produce additional "seed" electrons, captured by the secondary coefficient γ.
- Together α and γ determine the current amplification and eventual self-sustaining breakdown when enough charges cross the gap.
armature reaction effect and minimization methodsNayan Solanki
This document discusses armature reaction in DC machines and methods to minimize it. It describes how armature reaction demagnetizes and distorts the main magnetic flux, weakening it in some areas and strengthening it in others. Compensating windings and interpoles are introduced to counteract the cross-magnetizing effect. Commutation, the process of reversing current in armature coils, is also covered. Resistance commutation using carbon brushes and emf commutation using interpoles are two methods discussed to improve commutation and reduce sparking. Interpoles produce a reversing emf that neutralizes reactance voltage during commutation for smooth current reversal.
Armature reaction in a DC machine is the effect of armature flux on the main field flux. It has two undesirable effects - it demagnetizes the main flux and distorts the main flux. This reduces generated voltage and torque and influences commutation limits. Methods to reduce armature reaction include compensating windings and interpoles, which produce fields opposing the armature flux effects.

This chapter discusses principles of steady-state analysis of DC-DC power converters. It introduces the concepts of inductor volt-second balance and capacitor charge balance, which allow determining converter steady-state behavior. These concepts are applied to example converters, including derivation of output voltage expressions and estimates of current/voltage ripple. The small-ripple approximation is also introduced to simplify analysis by ignoring higher-frequency switching components.
This chapter discusses controller design for power electronics. It begins by introducing negative feedback loops and their effects of reducing disturbances and making the output insensitive to variations in the forward path. Key terms like open-loop, closed-loop, loop gain, and transfer functions are defined. Stability is then analyzed using the phase margin test, which evaluates the phase of the loop gain at the crossover frequency to determine if the closed-loop system contains any right half-plane poles. The chapter covers designing compensators to shape the loop gain for stability and performance. It concludes with measuring loop gains using injection techniques.
This chapter discusses principles of steady-state analysis of DC-DC power converters. It introduces inductor volt-second balance and capacitor charge balance, which relate the average inductor voltage and capacitor current to be zero during steady-state. A small ripple approximation is used to simplify analysis by ignoring output voltage ripple. Examples of steady-state analysis of the buck and boost converters are presented using these principles to determine output voltage, inductor current, and capacitor sizing for given ripple levels.
Design and Implementation of Low Power Multiplier Using Proposed Two Phase Cl...IJECEIAES
This paper presents a design and implementation of 2*2 array and 4*4 array multiplier using proposed Two Phase Clocked Adiabatic Static CMOS logic (2PASCL) circuit. The proposed 2PASCL circuit is based on adiabatic energy recovery principle which consumes less power. The proposed 2PASCL uses two sinusoidal power clocks which are 180 0 phase shifted with each other. The measurement result of 2*2 array proposed 2PASCL multiplier gives 80.16 % and 97.67 %power reduction relative to reported 2PASCL and conventional CMOS logic and the measurement result of 4*4 array proposed 2PASCL multiplier demonstrate 32.88 % and 82.02 %power reduction compared to reported 2PASCL and conventional CMOS logic. Another advantage of the proposed circuit is that it gives less power though the number of transistors in proposed and reported 2PASCL circuit is same. From the result we conclude that proposed 2PASCL technology is advantageous to application in low power digital systems, pacemakers and sensors. The circuits are simulated at 180nm technology mode.
There are three main components of power dissipation in CMOS circuits: dynamic capacitive power from charging/discharging capacitances, short-circuit power from direct paths between supply rails during switching, and leakage power from subthreshold and reverse-biased junction currents. To reduce power, one can lower the supply voltage and switching activity, reduce physical capacitances, and match rise/fall times of input/output waveforms to minimize short-circuit power. Optimizing transistor sizing, circuits, and architectures can also reduce leakage and glitching for lower overall power.
This document discusses digital VLSI design and power optimization. It covers several topics:
- Sources of power consumption in CMOS circuits including static, short circuit, leakage, and dynamic power
- Derivations of equations for short circuit and dynamic power
- How to reduce power consumption by decreasing supply voltage, output swing, load capacitance, and switching activity
- Sizing transistors for minimum power given a delay constraint
- Graphical techniques for finding optimum voltage and frequency to minimize energy delay product
This document provides an introduction to power electronics. It discusses various power electronic applications including power supplies, motor drives, and utility transmission systems. It also covers common power electronic components like switches, capacitors, inductors, and semiconductor devices. The document outlines the topics that will be covered in the course, including converter circuit operation, control systems, magnetics design, rectifiers, and resonant converters.
This document discusses capacitors in series and parallel circuits. It provides the objectives of understanding how to calculate the equivalent capacitance of capacitors connected in series and parallel. Formulas are given for calculating the total capacitance of series circuits as 1/CT = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3 and of parallel circuits as CT = C1 + C2 + C3. Examples are included to demonstrate solving problems involving up to three capacitors in series or parallel using these formulas. Quizzes with solutions are also provided to help reinforce the concepts.
The document describes the process of constructing steady-state equivalent circuit models for DC-DC power converters. Key steps include:
1) Deriving loop and node equations from circuit analyses during switching intervals.
2) Representing the equations as equivalent circuits using dependent sources and transformers.
3) Solving the equivalent circuit to obtain output characteristics like voltage conversion ratio and efficiency.
Losses from resistances and semiconductor voltages can be included to make the model more accurate. The equivalent circuit approach provides a time-invariant model of the converter under steady-state conditions.

The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Core loss
Pfe = K fe(ΔB)β Ac lm
Typical value of for ferrite materials: 2.6 or 2.7
B is the peak value of the ac component of B(t), i.e., the peak ac flux
density
So increasing B causes core loss to increase rapidly
This is the first constraint
Fundamentals of Power Electronics 3 Chapter 15: Transformer design
4. Flux density
Constraint #2
Flux density B(t) is related to the
applied winding voltage according
to Faraday’s Law. Denote the volt-seconds
applied to the primary
winding during the positive portion
of v1(t) as 1:
t2
λ1 = v1(t)dt
t1
v1(t)
This causes the flux to change from
its negative peak to its positive peak.
From Faraday’s law, the peak value
of the ac component of flux density is

At this point, one should check whether the saturation flux density is
exceeded. If the core operates with a flux dc bias Bdc, then B + Bdc
should be less than the saturation flux density Bsat.
If the core will saturate, then there are two choices:
• Specify B using the Kg method of Chapter 14, or
• Choose a core material having greater core loss, then repeat
steps 1 and 2

Which exceeds design goal of 4 W by 50%. So use next larger core
size: EE50.

36. Calculations with EE50
Repeat previous calculations for EE50 core size. Results:
B = 0.14 T, n1 = 12, Ptot = 2.3 W
Again round n1 to 22. Then
B = 0.08 T, Pcu = 3.89 W, Pfe = 0.23 W, Ptot = 4.12 W
Which is close enough to 4 W.

38. Discussion: Transformer design
• Process is iterative because of round-off of physical number of
turns and, to a lesser extent, other quantities
• Effect of proximity loss
– Not included in design process yet
– Requires additional iterations
• Can modify procedure as follows:
– After a design has been calculated, determine number of layers in
each winding and then compute proximity loss
– Alter effective resistivity of wire to compensate: define
eff = Pcu/Pdc where Pcu is the total copper loss (including proximity
effects) and Pdc is the copper loss predicted by the dc resistance.
– Apply transformer design procedure using this effective wire
resistivity, and compute proximity loss in the resulting design.
Further iterations may be necessary if the specifications are not
met.
