In test system-II, primarily a two area multi source power system is considered with three GENCOs and two DISCOs in each area is shown in Fig. 8. The control area 1 and control area 2 comprises of reheat thermal, hydro and gas power system with the inclusion of non-linearities such as boiler dynamics, time delay (TD), governor dead band (GDB) and generation rate constraint (GRC). Boiler dynamics configuration is incorporated in thermal plants to generate steam under pressure. Changes in the…

heat exchanger tank. The PCM in this case, organic PCM paraffin, has a melting point of 17 degrees centigrade and a mass of 30kg charged in the heat exchanger tank. This energy will be released to the heat pump nocturnally or when there are poor atmospheric conditions [1]. 3.2 Experimental Components: Figure 3: Test rig layout [1]. The test rig of an IDX-ASHP system has 22 main components are shown schematically in figure1 and illustrated in table1: Component Number Component name…

The light bulb is one of Thomas Edison’s most famous engineering innovations. However the “Wizard of Menlo Park” (a name which he was also known as) has created and/or designed so many more inventions than just the light bulb. He has about 2332 patents worldwide proving he was really a great inventor. However, what proved his amazing skilling creating/designing are the useful products that are used throughout society till date. Edison’s inventions/designs such as the first electrical power grid,…

towns, with over a million buildings that were destroyed (Dodchuk, 2011). Among the coastal towns affected by the tsunami was Fukushima, and two nuclear power complexes, called the Fukushima Daiichi and Fukushima Daini. Those reactors generating electricity at the time of the earthquake shut down automatically and commenced emergency cooling procedures (Lochbaun, 2014). The reactors are not actually online but, require continuing cooling procedures affecting reactor and…

1. INTRODUCTION The need for electrical energy and its global impact, ever since it’s being used is phenomenal. Hence, there is an immense pressure on all nation’s for ensuring electrical energy security. In this report, some key aspects of electrical energy statistics, both technical and economical are discussed and then compared between the United Kingdom** and Republic of India. 2. UNITED KINGDOM The United Kingdom is one among the large economies in the world and is also a “pioneer for…

a rapidly-evolving society. However, at what point does the threat of millions of lives outweigh the possible boost gained because of the fuel source? Nuclear power contributes to about 6% of the world’s energy and around 13-14% of the global electricity (United States Department of Energy). Instead of…

The Second Powerful Earthquake in Japan They say that beauty is a terrible force. But aside from the colorful turns of phrase and return to reality, we have to admit that the most formidable force this element, the manifestations of the forces of nature. Humanity sometimes forgets about it - and then come to him as a reminder of these tragedies like the tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011, although in itself this tsunami waves were not of the highest recorded in the history of the tsunami…

Practices in Electricity Generation from Hydropower Hydropower electricity is the product of transforming potential energy stored in water in an elevated reservoir into the kinetic energy of the running water, then mechanical energy in a rotating turbine, and finally electrical energy in an alternator or generator. Hydropower is a mature renewable power generation technology that offers two desirable characteristics in modern electricity systems: first, built-in storage that enables electricity…

Remote Handling (RH) is now a day’s an essential part of industries, especially the ones which involve nuclear and hazardous environments. Apart from their ability to work in confined spaces or locations with limited accessibility, the prime advantage of using remote handling tools in the nuclear industry is that they minimize the exposure of human beings to radiations thus ensuring safety of personnel. Remote Handling has certain challenges associated with it like vacuum compatibility, residual…
