This paper discusses about the potential need for electric vehicles (EV), charging station (CS) infrastructure and its challenges for the Indian scenario. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are promising class of drive trains in the coming years especially in urban regions in order to shift the decentralized exhaust emission in megacities to centralized power plants in rural areas. Up to now the ...

The advent of various wireless technologies have revolutionized the communication infrastructure and consequently changed the entire world into a global village. Use of wireless technology has also been made for transmission of electric power wirelessly. It increases the portability of power systems and integrates the communication technologies and electric power to the same platform. This pape...

nowadays, congestion management is one of the major tasks accomplished by system operators to warrant the operation of transmission system within operating limits. this has resulted in unanticipated congestion interfaces in regional transmission systems. the system is, however, unable to evolve at a rate which is required to meet the quickly changing demand of competitive markets. to make the m...

Viewed as manufacturing, the electric power industry is more similar to process industries such as petroleum, chemicals and pharmaceuticals than to the manufacture of automobiles, electronic devices and clothing by discrete, assembly-fine operations. However, it has most of the same challenges as these other industries, often carried to their extremes. For instanze, while electricity has essent...

With the ever-increasing complexities in power systems across the worldwide, especially opening of electric power markets, it becomes more and more important to provide stable, secure, controlled and high quality electric power on today’s environment. The deregulation and competitive environment in the contemporary power networks will imply a new scenario in terms of load and power flow conditi...

SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) networks of electric power transmission and distribution control centers that were isolated are now connecting to corporate networks, to vendors networks, and even with the Internet in order to increase productivity in a global and open electricity market. This model, Automation Technology (AT) networks connected with Information Technology (IT) ...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. In this paper, in order to find type, size and location of FACTS devices in a power system a Dedicated Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (DIPSO) algorithm is developed for de...

Transmitting power at high voltage and in DC form instead of AC is a new technology proven to be economic and simple in operation which is HVDC transmission. The HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances by overhead transmission lines or submarine cables. It is also used to interconnect separate power systems. A further development in this...
