Abstract: Electrical power system is not a simple thing, but a complex man made system. It should supply electrical energy to the consumers. In the view of increasing probability for outages due to the system overloads, which are caused by ever increasing demand for electrical power, utilities are examining what modern information technology can contribute to improve the situation. Now-a-days, Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) are being built around the world and will be an important necessary tool for the reliable operation of power systems in future. In order to have continuous monitoring Synchrophasors have become a vital part of WAMS. With the adaptation of recent developments of information technology, Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) are widely used in the day to day operation of contemporary power systems.PMU gives phasor values of Voltage and current which are GPS time stamped. Grid monitoring in real-time is essential for ensuring stable operation of the grid.

Abstract: While conventional coal fired generation is the work horse of the Indian power sector, the future is for the new technology-rooftop solar PV plants and solar concentrator based thermal power plants. Roof tops account for nearly 80 % of the solar PV power in Germany and Australia and 50 % in USA. Rooftop sol rower plants are a typical model of inclusive power development with the participation from the LT and HT end users. There is no upfront requirement for land unlike in large plants, no upfront capital costs to the utility (as the end user would financially participate) and the transmission and distribution losses are would financially participate) and the transmission and distribution losses are negligible since the generation is at a decentralized level. Solar concentrating collectors can boost up the capacity utilization of sugar mill power plants (8-15 MW) by providing steam to the existing turbo generator set up.

Abstract: To achieve a smart electrical grid, both HT and LT sectors need to be fitted with smart meters. Since LT represents the bottom of a pyramid with a wide base (large number of small consumers), such an implementation poses a big challenge, particularly due to the higher cost of smart technologies. On the other hand, the high amount of Aggregate Technical and Commercial (ATC) losses in the LT power sector offers an elegant scope for exploitation of the smart technologies in the LT.

Keywords: Grid isolated PV, Wind generation system.
Abstract: Continual research to develop a clean source of energy is of primary importance nowadays as fossil fuel reserves are constantly decreasing. There are detrimental effects on environment due to their prolonged usage. Solar, wind, hydel, biomass, geothermal, tidal and nuclear energy are chiefly regarded as the possible replacements of fossil fuels. Wind energy among them is abundant, free of cost and without any environmental concerns. However, wind energy is intermittent in nature and also controllable. Hence, a backup power source along with wind energy conversion system would be helpful and make the generation system more reliable. Difference in temperature at various regions gives rise to flow of wind. The kinetic energy of moving wind is converted into electricity in wind turbine coupled to generator shaft.

Abstract: A protection system defends the power system from the harmful effects of a sustained fault. Power system protection has main aim to provide maximum sensibility to faults and unnatural conditions and to restrict false alerts during normal state of operations. The protective relays are more of a preventive device which comes into picture only after a fault and limiting the damage, outage time and related problems. In general the first step in the power system relaying algorithms is to detect the faults and the next step is to isolate defected part from the healthy system.

Abstract: The Plug-in Electric Vehicle technology is fast emerging for modernizing transport segment and offset climatic challenges due to fossil fuel depletion. The technology causes negative impacts to power utility systems that are used to charge the batteries in PEVs. Research advances are progressing towards resolving the technical and economical issues to bring down ownership costs of PEVs. The large scale penetration of PEVs in the transportation segment makes the utility power network more stressed and less efficient due to negative impacts of integration of PEVs for charging the batteries. Integration of PEVs with the power network at high penetration level demands a new technology, that is, a smart grid to integrate renewable energy sources and to operate the grid more efficiently, which includes time flexible demand side management.
