With renewable power sources and new topology structures being widely introduced into the power system, the current local information-based power generation-side protection cannot fully guarantee the protection performance and the safety coordination with the power grid. This paper proposes an improved hierarchical protection system on the power generation-side. The proposed system takes advantage of the fusion of multi-information provided by the system, station and local layers. The system layer provides the information such as system voltage control and power regulation demand, so that the generation-side protection and control system can adapt to the system operation mode and power regulation demand. The station layer realizes the coordination of the protection principle and action strategy among the related units through information interaction with the power grid, the automatic control system and the local layer protection. The local layer introduces the condition monitoring information and more abundant protection information to enhance the protection performance and master the generation units’ safety condition. To illustrate the hierarchical protection system construction method and actual application mode, the multi-information fusion-based comprehensive local layer protection method and the multi-generators information fusion-based hierarchical protection method are taken as examples. Case analysis shows that the proposed methods can reflect more slight internal fault forms and can adaptively determine the protection action characteristic and tripping strategy according to the system operating conditions and other generators’ fault conditions, which effectively improve the protection sensitivity and coordination capability. To provide reference and inspiration for follow-up research, the hierarchical protection system construction mode, communication technology and research approaches of new protection methods are further pointed out.

The prerequisites for the implementation of distributed generation facilities in the power grid complex of the region are highlighted. A technocenological approach has been chosen for the economically and technically sound implementation of power sources. The procedures for the verification and visualization of the technocenosis were carried out, and the stability of the existing generation system was determined. The analysis of the generating complex with the power units expected to be commissioned has been carried out. It is concluded that it is necessary to install a distributed generation facility of low power to improve energy security.

This paper describes about the grid switch control system. The aim of the project is to provide a facility by which we can control the two power sources in the power grid. The purpose of the project is to provide a flexible system by which we can control the two DC power sources. Now days, there is a lot of requirements to control the appliances in an industry or in a home connected to the power grid when we are working. The main aim of the present project is to provide a facility by which we can control the DC power sources connected to the power grid. The only thing is we need to switch the button for a control board to the power control section. The control board which is attached to the power grid control section in the industry. This receives the commands to the microcontroller whenever there is a power cut from the main source. The microcontroller plays a major role in receiving the commands from the main source module and to switch from a Main DC source or from a Battery DC source which is fed to thee DC generator (Wind energy). The particular source is switched according to the command. Here in this project a power grid is connected to motor control unit. The project implements the design of a system by which we can control the power grid of two DC sources.

Integrated Dispatching and Control System (IDCS) is an inevitable outcome of power grid dispatching automation as it develops to a certain stage, it provides important technical support for the construction of state grids integrated operation system. This paper firstly analyzes system construction and application status of IDCS, then summarizes existing problems and studies key technologies of IDCS from the aspects of improving systems intellectualization, security, rapidity and user-friendliness. Meanwhile, the developing foreground of IDCS will be conducted, expecting to provide some beneficial thoughts for relevant research and development.


The choice of cost-effective method of anticorrosive protection of steel structures is an urgent and time consuming task, considering the significant number of protection ways, differing from each other in the complex of technological, physical, chemical and economic characteristics. To reduce the complexity of solving this problem, the author proposes a computational tool that can be considered as a subsystem of computer-aided design and used at the stage of variant and detailed design of steel structures. As a criterion of the effectiveness of the anti-corrosion protection method, the cost of the protective coating during the service life is accepted. The analysis of existing methods of steel protection against corrosion is performed, the possibility of their use for the protection of the most common steel structures is established, as well as the estimated period of effective operation of the coating. The developed computational tool makes it possible to choose the best method of protection of steel structures against corrosion, taking into account the operating conditions of the protected structure and the possibility of using a protective coating.

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) offer a sustainable solution for alternative energy production by employing microorganisms as catalysts for direct conversion of chemical energy of feedstock into electricity. Electricity from urine (urine-tricity) using MFCs is a promising cost-effective technology capable of serving multipurpose benefits - generation of electricity, waste alleviation, resource recovery and disinfection. As an abundant waste product from human and animal origin with high nutritional values, urine is considered to be a potential source for extraction of alternative energy in the coming days. However, developments to improve power generation from urine-fed MFCs at reasonable scales still face many challenges such as non-availability of sustainable materials, cathodic limitations, and low power density. The aim of this paper was to critically evaluate the state-of-the-art research and developments in urine-fed MFCs over the past decade (2008-2018) in terms of their construction (material selection and configuration), modes of operation (batch, continuous, cascade, etc.) and performance (power generation, nutrient recovery and waste treatment). This review identifies the preference for sources of urine for MFC application from human beings, cows and elephants. Among these, human urine-fed MFCs offer a variety of applications to practice in the real-world scenario. One key observation is that, effective disinfection can be achieved by optimizing the operating conditions and MFC configurations without compromising on performance. In essence, this review demarcates the scope of enhancing the reuse potential of urine for renewable energy generation and simultaneously achieving resource recovery.

This article presents a control strategy that enables both islanded and grid-tied operations of a three-phase inverter in distributed generation. This distributed generation (DG) is based on a dramatically evolved direct current (DC) source. A unified control strategy is introduced to operate the interface in either the isolated or grid-connected modes. The proposed control system is based on the instantaneous tracking of the active power flow in order to achieve current control in the grid-connected mode and retain the stability of the frequency using phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits at the point of common coupling (PCC), in addition to managing the reactive power supplied to the grid. On the other side, the proposed control system is also based on the instantaneous tracking of the voltage to achieve the voltage control in the standalone mode and retain the stability of the frequency by using another circuit including a special equation (wt = 2πft, f = 50 Hz). This utilization provides the ability to obtain voltage stability across the critical load. One benefit of the proposed control strategy is that the design of the controller remains unconverted for other operating conditions. The simulation results are added to evaluate the performance of the proposed control technology using a different method; the first method used basic proportional integration (PI) controllers, and the second method used adaptive proportional integration (PI) controllers, i.e., an Artificial Neural Network (ANN).
