Abstract
Emerging countries like India, China suffer a huge problem of power crisis. The main reason for this is, power evacuation. The inability of bulk power evacuation with the present mode of transmission (HVAC & HVDC) leads us to a concept called B2B segmented AC transmission. B2B segmented AC transmission consists of a rectifier and inverter unit by using IGBT. With the advent of advanced power electronics devices, the authors are able to reduce the size and complexity of converters with increase in power ratings. By using this method the limitation of HVDC can be overcome which makes us to evacuate bulk power to longer distance with less loses. In this paper they use IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) as B2B converter for transmission lines used to transmit large blocks of energy from long distance generating plants or to connect areas of large th power system. Taking a real time problem published in The New Indian Express on July 20 ,2011 which indicates power evacuation problem existing in Tamilnadu wind power sector, the authors present this paper.

Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips

Volume 5 Issue 4 September - November 2017 Research Paper Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips Cengiz Polat* Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey. Uzunoglu, C. P. (2017). Continuous Over Voltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips.  i-manager’s Journal on Circuits and Systems,  5(4), 1-7.  https://doi.org/10.26634/jcir.5.4.13938 Abstract Increasing applications of constantly developing electronic devices require delicate voltage and current protection. Although the electrical network is monitored continuously, undesired over currents and over voltages may occur on the distribution system due to failures. Most of the electronic switch gear is connected via surge protected power strips in indoor applications, where current protection is vital. Surge protected power strips are usually manufactured based on Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) ...

In this paper, to design a number of D-flip flop performing at the same time, the given clock signal is reduced using multi bit flip-flop. The multi bit flip flop is mainly used to improve the clock power for the given common clock signal and to reduce the switching power. This method is p...

A Review on Control strategies for LFC in Deregulated Scenario

Volume 1 Issue 1 December - February 2013 Review Paper A Review on Control strategies for LFC in Deregulated Scenario T. Anilkumar*, N. Venkata ramana** * Associate Professor, EEE Department, ACE Engineering College, Ghatkesar, Hyderabad, AP, India. ** Professor and Head of Deportment, EEE Department, JNTU Mantini, AP, India.

The main objective of LFC is to maintain load frequency and tie-line power flow within permissible limits by adjusting megawatt output of LFC generators, so as to accommodate fluctuating load demands. This paper presents a brief review of different control techniques to researchers on design...
