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.

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.

An important aspect of the off-grid utilization of hybrid generation systems is the integration of energy storage facilities into their structures, which allows for improved power supply reliability. However, this results in a significant increase in the cost of such systems. Therefore, it is justified to use optimization resulting in the minimization of the selected economic indicator taking into account the most important technical constraints. For this reason, this work proposes an algorithm to optimize the structure of a hybrid off-grid power distribution system (with electrochemical energy storage), designed to supply a load with known daily energy demand. The authors recommend genetic algorithm utilization as well as a modified criterion for evaluating the quality of solutions based on the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) index. Several technical and economic analyses were presented, including unit costs, power distribution of the wind and solar sections, nominal battery capacity, SSSI index (System Self-Sufficiency Index), etc. The model of the system includes durability of the elements which have a significant impact on the periodic battery replacement. The tests were carried out for two types of loads and two types of electrochemical batteries (NMC—Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide; and PbO2—Lead-Acid Battery), taking into account the forecast of an increased lifetime of NMC type batteries and decreasing their price within five years. The proposed synthesis method of photovoltaic-wind (PV-wind) hybrid off-line systems leads to limiting the energy capacity of electrochemical storages. Based on the analyses, the authors proposed recommended methods to improve (reduce) the value of the criterion index (LCOE) for PV-wind off-grid systems while maintaining the assumed level of power supply reliability.

ABSTRACTOne of the most critical aspects of a small satellite is the electrical power system (EPS) since the electrical power is necessary for the satellite to operate correctly during its predefined lifetime. The electrical power system consists mainly of solar cells, batteries, voltage converters and protection circuits. The electrical power system is responsible of providing stable power to the rest of the satellite subsystems.In satellite electrical power systems, overcurrent protection is now becoming an important function handled by the power distribution module (PDM). This paper proposes a method to evaluate the suggested protection. With the proposed procedure we should be able to verify that every possible failure does not travel through the EPS and cause a fatal degradation of the electrical power system. This will allow a complete evaluation of functionality of the protection hardware.This paper discusses the design and implementation of the power distribution module (PDM) for the coming generation of small satellites for the Algerian Space Agency (ASAL). The design must provide a reliable protection for the subsystems from the overcurrent associated with a device failure.

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.

Power utilities worldwide commonly use the radial distribution system because of its advantages of being simple in structure and having relatively inexpensive installation costs. It has a disadvantage in that its power supply reliability is low because the load side of the fault section will suffer from an outage in the event of a fault in the system. However, recently, with ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) development, system reliability is required to be high as the outage-susceptible loads increase. In addition, the increase in the connection of distributed resources such as renewable energy and electric vehicles is making it impossible to predict the power flow and reducing line utilization. Therefore, a loop power distribution system is proposed as a measure to solve this problem. Because all buses (nodes) in a loop distribution system have two or more power supply routes, they are more reliable than the radial system. It allows them to improve line utilization by connecting lines with different load peak times. However, in the case of a fault in the loop distribution system, the fault current is supplied from both directions, making it impossible to properly isolate the fault section with the protection method of the conventional distribution system. The permissive overreach transfer trip (POTT) method using communication to compensate for the limitations of conventional protection devices, and the other method using directional distance relay, is proposed. However, these methods operate by determining the direction of the fault current but have a disadvantage. It is difficult to detect a fault due to the effects of ground faults and distributed generation (DG) occurring in other lines. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a protection coordination algorithm that uses the negative-sequence component of voltage and current that occur when an unbalanced fault occurs, rather than the determination of the directionality and use of communication. To validate this, we configured a system using PSCAD/EMTDC (Manitoba Hydro International Ltd., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), a system analysis program package and verified the results depending on the type of faults with the proposed algorithm.
