Together with globalization, factories, companies and even countries can survive by competing with their rivals. Nowadays, technological superiority is one of the most important factors determining competitive power. This situation causes the result of rapid change and development of technology. Due to improvement in technology, humanity dependence on electricity is increasing day by day. Many new devices get in our lives, and both the continuity and quality of electricity comes across as an important issue. Different researches are carried out to make the energy more qualified and efficient. In terms of the stability of the used electrical devices, it is important to keep the harmonic amount in electrical energy under a certain value. Besides this, these unwanted harmonics cause additional energy losses in the energy system and negatively affect energy efficiency, which is an economically important problem. In this exercise, the problems in electrical systems, the damages in electrical devices caused by harmonics have been researched and various solution suggestions have been developed for this problem.

In this paper, we present the experience of 10 years of collaboration between the Electric Research Institute and Pemex Refining to modernize the power electric systems of the National Refining System in Mexico, collaborating together to design an electrical energy system for distribution that can operate reliably at the increase in the quantity and quality of oil products with the integration of new processing plants. We present the extensive cooperation between the personnel involved and in contrast unexecuted planning to implement the solutions. Also, after a decade of collaboration, we present the different scenarios, factors and challenges in the medium and long term that will assure that the electrical systems are in healthier conditions to operate for the next years and will achieve the required reliability of the national refining system for gasoline demand, to result in an operational reliability conferring to a World Class utility practice.

<p>The growing demands of global consumer market in green energy system have opened the doors for many technologies as well as various sophisticated electrical devices for both commercial and domestic usage. However, with the increasing demands of energy and better quality of services, there is a significant increase in non-linearity in load distribution causing potential effect on the Power Quality (PQ). The harmful effects on PQ are various events e.g. sag, swell, harmonics etc that causes significant amount of system degradation. Therefore, this paper discusses various significant research techniques pertaining to the PQ disturbance classification system introduced by the authors in the past and analyzes its effectiveness scale in terms of research gap. The paper discusses some of the frequently exercised PQ classification techniques from the most relevant literatures in order to have more insights of the techniques.</p>

Processing electrical energy is one of the most important research fields in our society. So far, tremendous efforts have been made to improve the efficiency of each step in electrical systems: generation systems have been enhanced by introducing renewable energy sources and new control systems for conventional generators, losses have been reduced, the power quality of distribution and transmission systems has been increased, the life-time and state-of-health of energy storage devices have been extended, and sections of the power grid have been isolated for intelligent energy management.

The quality of electrical energy and the fight against energy losses are a crucial issue for electricity companies. The use of high voltage lines can limit energy losses for the transmission of electricity over long distances. But this solution has the disadvantage of the propagation of the electromagnetic wave which has a great influence on human health. The work presented in this study mainly deals with modelling problems that may be encountered by the community working in the field of low frequency electromagnetic fields. In order to model a power line, we are based on geometric data as well as phase and earth conductor data.

This paper presents a new contribution of the nonlinear control technique of electrical energy in a wind energy system. The nonlinear sliding mode technique used to control the powers of the DFIG-Generator is connected to the power grid by two converters (grid side and machine side). The proposed model is validated using tracking and robustness tests with a real wind speed. The control was developed under Matlab/Simulink, and the FPGA in the Loop technique was used to design the DFIG model. By employing a co-simulation, the purpose is to test the controller for the FPGA simulated model or system in its entirety. The results obtained by the cο-simulation show the efficiency of the proposed model in terms of speed and robustness with a rate THD = 0.95, and the proposed model of the sliding mode controller shows a significant improvement in the quality of energy produced by the wind system.

Since it is difficult to store electrical energy, production, and consumption must be in equilibrium under constant voltage and frequency. The producers, the receivers, and the electrical networks that connect them, have mechanical and electrical inertias which disturb this balance. Faced with a variation in power, the electrical system, after oscillations, returns to a stable state. In some cases, the oscillatory regime may diverge. Studies are being carried out to remedy this problem and ensure the stability of the electricity network. This manuscript focuses on FACTS regulation which helps electrical systems, subjected to strong disturbances, to maintain their stability. Magnetic Energy Storage Superconductor (SMES) contains a short-circuited superconducting coil on itself, which injects or absorbs active and reactive power into the system, thereby improving the stability of electrical systems.


In day to day the demand of electrical energy has been increasing in worldwide, as well the share of solar photovoltaic power generation has increased extremely because of population growth, urbanization, etc. Although the power generated from solar photovoltaic is erratically, and it makes the stability and reliability problems in a utility grid. This paper projects a P/Q droop control strategy for a grid-tied PWM inverter. This paper introduces an entire model of grid-connected solar photovoltaic array; inverter with droop control, and loads are developed for this operation. The locus points of the both power sharing of the DG system is developed by the proposed control operation. PI controllers were used in this droop control was espoused to adjust the constraints of PI controller. The results of the proposed droop control inject positive and reactive power into a variation of loads and improving the quality of power as compared to the conventional PID controllers.

Controversy exists as to whether renewable energy (RE) can provide for all the world’s energy needs. The purpose of this paper is to help resolve this vital question. Official forecasts see a resumption of a business-as-usual world after the pandemic-induced recession, with further economic growth out to at least 2050. The novel approach taken in this paper is to assume that such a world is fueled entirely with RE at global energy levels at or above those of today, and then to examine whether this scenario is feasible. Because the intermittent primary electricity sources, wind, and solar power, would have to supply nearly all this energy, a simplification made for this analysis is that they do supply 100% of all energy, including non-electrical energy needs. It is found that the energy that could be delivered by these two sources is much less than often assumed, for several reasons: The declining quality of inputs; the need for inclusion of uncounted environmental costs; the need for energy conversion and storage; and the removal of existing fossil fuel energy subsidies. It is concluded that a future world entirely fuelled by RE would necessarily be a lower-energy one.

The article aims to present the issue of excessive heat release at installation joints due to insufficient contact surface of the joining elements. The conducted research attempts to estimate the losses caused by an insufficient contact surface area. A laser pyrometer and a thermal imaging camera were used to perform the tests. Both devices generate images without having to touch the tested element, which may indicate that the obtained results are very accurate. The completed tests have shown that an insufficient contact surface of the joints results in an increased heat release, which leads to higher electrical energy losses and increased wear of the installation connectors.
