Monitoring power quality has thus turned out to be essential in creating a sustainable and reliable power grid. ...
AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), which is an important part of the smart grid. AMI system is mainly composed of AMI electricity meter, communication network, metering data management system (MDMS), home area network(HAN), is a two-way communication system between AMI power meter and power operator, providing real-time energy consumption ...
Freezing is an important reason for the breakdown of towers (poles) of power overhead transmission lines and power distribution lines in winter. Strengthen and improve the anti-freezing ability of power transmission and distribution lines, ensure safe, reliable and economical operation, and effectively reduce the accident rate of power transmission and distribution lines. It is related to the ...
The power grid isn’t as reliable as it used to be. Extreme weather events such as the 2021 Texas deep freeze and a string of hurricanes and nor’easters along the eastern seaboard have caused major power outages, sometimes lasting multiple days. In California, utilities have to shut off power when winds could knock out transmission lines to avoid wildfires. Adding to the challenge, ...
The facility is powered by a 16 MW diesel plant equipped with 4 diesel gensets, feeding a 5.5 kV grid. ...
Furthermore, as they can be 24V power supplied and significantly reduced energy use, the e-Series monitors have made possible the building of a complete solar powered AQMS station. Installed since June in ENVEA’s Headquarters in Paris area, the first all-in-one and standalone AQMS monitoring station has withstand succesfully during the summer ...

Project Summary Project The Brunei Department of Electricity Services (DES) contracted Toshiba Transmission and Distribution Systems Asia to implement a USD 23 million supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system in the national power grid to improve reliability of the nation’s power supply. ...
Executive Summary: Americans purchased almost 18,000 plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in 2011, a strong first year for these transformative vehicles. Recently, private industry and government have invested valuable resources in developing, promoting, and deploying PEVs. These vehicles offer an uncommon opportunity to address energy security, air quality, climate change, and economic growth. ...
Therefore, it is necessary to analyse various models of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) for the purpose of studying the impacts upon grid. This paper presents comparative study on grid connected WECS having two different wind turbine generator systems (WTGS): model 1 [WTGS having doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs)] and model 2 [WECS having permanent ...
The present communication architecture supporting control of the electric power grid makes it difficult to use the wealth of data collected at high rates in substations, retarding their use in new applications for controlling the grid. A flexible, real-time data network would make it possible to use these data for many more control and protection ...
