Static Phase Shifting Transformer | Configurations and Improvement
Introduction Static Phase Shifting Transformer or Phase-shifting transformers (PST) have been in use since the 1930s for control of power flows in transmission lines in a steady state. The primary…
Harmonics | General, Interactions, and Filters
General The harmonics in an SVC are generated by the TCR. Neither TSC nor TSR (Thyristor-Switched Reactor) generate harmonics. The current harmonics generated by TCR can be classified into two…
SVC | Controller and Protective Functions
SVC Controller The block diagram of the basic SVC Controller incorporating a voltage regulator is shown in Fig. This shows that both voltage (VSVC) and current (ISVC) signals are obtained…
Ultrasonic Flow Meter | Principle Operation, Working, and Installation
Introduction An Ultrasonic Flow Meter measures the flow of liquid without touching it, using sound waves. It works well with dirty or bubbly liquids like wastewater. It doesn’t work well…
Static Var Compensator | Analysis, Configuration and Modelling
Static Var Compensator Static Var Compensator (SVC) a first-generation FACTS controller is taken up for study. It is a variable impedance device where the current through a reactor is controlled…
Load Dispatch Center | Types, Function, and Objective
Introduction All power plants are linked through a grid in an interconnected power system. The Load Dispatch Centre (LDC) manages these plants to ensure efficient operation. It coordinates, plans, controls,…
Vortex Flow Meter | Design, Working Principle, Accuracy and Rangeability
Vortex Flow Meter Vortex Flow Meter is a device used to measure the flow of liquids by harnessing the natural formation of vortices (or eddies) when liquid flows around a…
Electronic Flow Meter | Working Principle, Types, and Advantages
An electronic flow meter measures the flow of liquids and gases in industries. Common types include electromagnetic, vortex and ultrasonic flow meters. They can measure things like water, gasoline, and…
Electromagnetic Flow Meter | Construction, Working Principle, and Limitations
Introduction A magnetic flow meter, also known as a mag meter or electromagnetic flow meter, measures the flow of a fluid by using the voltage generated as the fluid moves…
Types of Biomass Gasifier
Biomass Gasifier Biomass gasifiers convert organic materials into gas for energy production. The main types are updraft and downdraft gasifiers. Updraft gasifiers draw air in from the bottom and expel…
