Many utility systems in the world have power plants operating with fossil fuel. In the thermal power plants maximum requirements of fuel is a coal. The handling of this fuel is a great job. To handle the fuel, i.e., coal, each power station is equipped with a coal handling plant. Maintenance of Critical Equipments for Coal Handling Plants (CHP) of Thermal Power Stations is typical job. The fail...

The amount of generation located in distribution networks has been increasing worldwide in recent years. According to WADE [1] the actual share of decentralized power in the world market is about 7 % and it is expected to continue growing. Distributed generation (DG) has many potential benefits including the reduction of line losses, deferral of investments in transmission and distribution netw...

This article presents a distributed real-time control system for the southern grid of the Cameroon power system. The southern grid, which supplies over 90 % of the power output in Cameroon, incorporates two remotely located hydro-electric generating stations, a power distribution center, several thermal plants and hundreds of kilometers of transmission lines. The proposed distributed control sy...

The system is made with main distributed components: First Level: Industrial Computers placed in Control Room (monitors thermal and electrical processes based on the data provided by the second level); Second Level: PLCs which collects data from process and transmits information on the first level; also takes commands from this level which are further, passed to execution elements from third le...

considering high population and hot and arid climate in most cities in iran, creating optimum thermal comfort during the hot periods is necessary. an experiment was conducted to examine the effect of percentage vegetation and hard surfaces on changes of temperature, humidity and thermal comfort of in three urban sites and mashhad weather station was investigated. climate and recorded data from ...
