The article describes the schemes of the radial power distribution system of the bulk system on board big ships. Today, when the ship power plants have great capacity, it is found preferable to use a four-wire three-phase system that has a distributed neutral and is not connected to the ground, in which the linear voltage can be easily utilized. The main distribution network of medium voltage can be of a simple radial type with substations or additional distribution switchboards. The advantages of a simple radial scheme on board a large vessel include providing selective protection and using digital automation. The weak points are the impressive amount of protective and switching appliances, high cost, significant power losses, length of wires, and threat to the reliability of the vessel due to the main switchboard failure. A There is presented a multi-part radial chart, in which the number of circuits going from the main switchboard and devices in it is significantly reduced. This chart is considered more suitable for medium-size power plants on large vessels. The calculation was carried out at a steady state of the radial network, the sections and wires of power lines were determined. Power losses in transformers and power supplied to substation bus-lines have been calculated. Before selecting the wires it was recommended to calculate the current flowing through the circuit. The ship power supply with a bridge ring scheme has been considered. In the event of a failure, only a part of the generators and a half of energy will be available. There has been given a conditional division of the power systems with a bridge ring circuit on board into three main parts. A diagram of the high-voltage power supply from the shore is shown. One of the main advantages of this technology is environmentally friendly nature of electricity produced by power plants on the coast, compared to the ship diesel engines running on burner fuel. This technology reduces pollution and improves air quality in port areas.

Electric power is the bedrock of our modern way of life. In Nigeria, power supply availability, sufficiency and reliability are major operational challenges. At the generation and transmission level, effort is made to ensure status monitoring and fault detection on the power network, but at the distribution level, particularly within domestic consumer communities there are no fault monitoring and detection devices except for HRC fuses at the feeder pillar. Unfortunately, these fuses are sometimes replaced by a copper wire bridge at some locations rendering the system unprotected and creating a great potential for transformer destruction on overload. This study is focused on designing an on-site power system monitoring device to be deployed on selected household entry power cables for detecting and indicating when phase off, low voltage, high voltage, over current, and blown fuse occurs on the building’s incomer line. The fault indication will help in reducing troubleshooting time and also ensure quick service restoration. After design implementation, the test result confirms design accuracy, device functionality and suitability as a low-cost solution to power supply system fault monitoring within local communities.

In this paper two reconfiguration methodologies for three-phase electric power distribution systems based on multi-objective optimization algorithms are developed in order to simultaneously optimize two objective functions, (1) power losses and (2) three-phase unbalanced voltage minimization. The proposed optimization involves only radial topology configurations which is the most common configuration in electric distribution systems. The formulation of the problem considers the radiality as a constraint, increasing the computational complexity. The Prim and Kruskal algorithms are tested to fix infeasible configurations. In distribution systems, the three-phase unbalanced voltage and power losses limit the power supply to the loads and may even cause overheating in distribution lines, transformers and other equipment. An alternative to solve this problem is through a reconfiguration process, by opening and/or closing switches altering the distribution system configuration under operation. Hence, in this work the three-phase unbalanced voltage and power losses in radial distribution systems are addressed as a multi-objective optimization problem, firstly, using a method based on weighted sum; and, secondly, implementing NSGA-II algorithm. An example of distribution system is presented to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Distribution Line

In the distribution of electrical energy from the plant to the consumer, there is a decrease in quality due to the loss of power (losses). These power losses are caused by a voltage drop across the line and subsequently producing a power loss on the line. This power loss can be classified into two types based on its line parameters, i.e., active power loss and reactive power loss. The line’s active power loss generates losses of power/losses so that the active power reaches the load on the receiving end is always less than the productive power of the sender side. Power losses in the electrical system must exist and cannot be reduced to 0% (zero percent). According to SPLN No. 72 of 1987, the permitted distribution network’s power loss should not be higher than 10%. This paper investigates the magnitude of the voltage loss and the line active power losses on the 20 kV distribution line. The calculation conducted through case study and simulation of Etap 12.6 program on an electrical power distribution system that is 20 kV distribution line in PT. PLN (Persero) Rayon Muara Labuh. In the distribution line 20 kV, there is IPP (Independent Power Plant) PLTMH PT SKE used to improve the stress conditions in Rayon Muara Labuh. Therefore the loss of power will be calculated in 3 terms, i.e., before and after IPP PT. SKE with 20 kV distribution lines as well as on feeder load maintenance (as a repair action plan). The simulation results show the highest voltage drop and the highest power losses continue generated during IPP. PT SKE has not done synchronized with the distribution line of 20 kV with a significant voltage drop of 1,533 kV percentage of 7.93% and power loss of 777.528 kWh percentage of 7.69%.

Switching Mode

This article discusses such an important issue as the power factor of Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) and its improvement through Power Factor Correction (PFC). The power factor shows how effectively uses the consumption of electric energy by certain loads connected to the power distribution system with Alternative Current (AC), which is very critical for the electricity-producing industry. The number of power factors is a dimensionless value that can vary from -1 to 1. Thus, in an electric power system, a load with a low power factor draws more current than a load with a high power factor for the same amount of transferring useful power, which may cause overloading of the power grid and lead to over-expenditure of electricity. Otherwise, designing power factor correction (PFC) into modern switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) has evolved over the past few years due to the introduction of many new controller integrated circuits (IC). Today, it is possible to design a variety of PFC circuits with different modes of operation, each with its own set of challenges. As the number of choices has increased, so has the complexity of making the choice and then executing the new design. In this article, the design considerations and details of operation for the most popular approaches are provided.

Power Distribution System

Many underdeveloped countries are facing acute shortage of electric power and short term measures are important to consider to address the problems of power outage, power plant failures, and disaster areas. Distributed generation (DG) is a promising approach for such cases as it allows quick on-site installation and generation of electric power. Injection of DG can improve the system voltage profile and also reduce the system's total power losses. However, the placement and sizing of the DG unit is an optimization problem in the radial distribution system. As a test case, this study examines voltage profile improvement and system power losses for an 11 KV residential feeder at the Abdul Rehman Baba grid station in Pakistan, which is modelled using the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP). For various scenarios, several tests are conducted to assess the effects of DG on the distribution system. The results show that proper design considerations of size and location of a DG, to be inserted in to the system, lead to significant reduction in power losses and improvement in voltage profile and thus improvement in the overall efficiency of the power system. The projections of this work can be used to optimize the expansion of a power system and tackling different issues related to voltage profile in distribution sector worldwide.
