    Abstract: Every transmission system has voltage stability limit which may lead to voltage collapse if an undetected bulk transmission network is operated close to its operating limit. This research work uses continuation power flow method to identify voltage collapse point for Bangladesh Power System Network (BPSN). For the identification of weak buses, an a... Show More

    Abstract: This paper proposes a novel low-cost switched power filter compensator (SFC). This proposed SFC is considered as a new topology of distribution FACTS. The proposed SFC scheme is based on a switching on/off process for connecting /disconnecting double tuned arm filters intermittently with two parallel capacitor-banks. The parallel capacitor-banks ar... Show More

    Abstract: In India, around 70% of the population is living in remote areas and is not able to get proper electricity from utility grid. Around 20% of the total population has no access of electricity at all, which is not commendable for any developing country like India. Most of the electricity requirement is fulfilled by diesel generator only which is not a... Show More
