Adequate power is available in the country to meet the demand of power of the consumers who are having access to electricity...

Ind-Ra has maintained a Stable Outlook on most of its rated power sector entities for FY18, as the agency expects its rated entities will continue to manage fuel and state power utility risks due to a favourable tariff mechanism, a comfortable liquidity position and support from central and state governments…

The Copper Development Association (CDA) has examined these trends in electrical infrastructure and has published a new case study, titled Copper Connects Microgrids with Smart Grids...

In the earlier years, harmonics were not prevalent in most of the industries due to the balanced linear loads using three phase induction motors along with incandescent lighting, heating etc. but the rapid advancement of the power electronics in industrial application makes industrial loads non-linear type…

Conventionally, grid connected photovoltaic energy conversion systems are composed of a DC-DC converter and an inverter. The DC-DC converter is controlled to track the maximum power point of the photovoltaic array and the inverter is controlled to produce current in such a way that the system current has low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and it is in phase with the utility voltage. The efficiency of the conventional system is low because the DC-DC converter and the inverter are connected in series. The purpose of this article is to design a photovoltaic generation system for connection in a three-phase system using only a DC/AC inverter...

Power quality monitoring programs are often driven by the demand for improving the system wide power quality performance. Many industrial and commercial customers have equipment that is sensitive to power disturbances, and therefore, it is more important to understand the quality of power being provided…

Union Budget 2017 presented by Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley brings in mixed reviews...

This article discusses the power quality issues and how is the unwanted component (called harmonic) introduced. Consequence of harmonics according to their sequence will be different and most precarious also. Moreover, different strategies according to different cases are discussed. We have discussed four different cases. Whereever necessary, the mathematical analysis is shown with output waveform to prove the arguments...
