AC Distribution System
AC Distribution System: A system where electrical energy is distributed among the consumers from generating stations or substations in the form of AC is an AC distribution system. In other…

Transposition of Line: The transmission line transmits a bulk amount of power at high voltages. e high power and voltage of these transmission lines give rise to electromagnetic and electrostatic fields….
Continue readingVoltage Control
Voltage Control: In power system networks, while supplying power through a transmission line, we keep the voltage constant at the sending end. The voltage at the receiving end undergoes a…

Schematic Arrangement of Hydroelectric Power Plant: A hydroelectric power plant uses the potential energy of flowing water to transform it into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy…
Continue readingSite Selection for Hydroelectric Power Plant
Site Selection for Hydroelectric Power Plant: In order to make the hydroelectric power plant economical, we have to consider some key points in the selection of a site for a…
Continue readingAnalysis of Unsymmetrical Faults
Analysis of Unsymmetrical Faults: For the analysis of unsymmetrical faults in the power system network, we require sequence impedance and sequence network concept along with the symmetrical components. The analysis…
Continue readingUnsymmetrical Faults
Unsymmetrical Faults: The types of faults occurring in power systems are symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. The unsymmetrical fault is the type of fault in which the three-phase line of the system…
