Partial discharges (PD) are in general a consequence of local electrical stress concentrations in the insulation or on the surface of the insulation. Corona is a form of partial discharge that occurs in gaseous media around conductors which are remote from solid or liquid insulation… - Dr B Nagehwar Rao, K P Meena, R Arunjothi

Optimise processes, reduce costs and ensure system availability with Testo Thermal Imagers.

The distribution of the harmonic sources requires close monitoring between OEM & users for making a stringent specification in order to minimize voltage-distortion levels are kept to acceptable levels on the overall system considering IEEE 519- standards... - S K Pattnaik

Power outages force hospitals to look for alternate power sources, where diesel genset are the most favoured option for in-house power generation.

As microgrids are becoming more common, the issues linked with micro-grids need to be addressed to effectively improve the quality of delivered power. This article discusses the architecture of micro- grids, control components and systems and integration strategies to achieve higher efficiency, resilience and sustainability…

Testo thermal imager 872 can also be connected to the testo Thermography App. The app, available for iOS and Android, turns the user's smartphone into a second display and a remote control for the thermal imager, and serves to create compact reports quickly on the site to save them online and send them by e-mail.

With respect to installed capacity, Kerala stands at 16th position with approximately 1.66% of the total in the country. The per capita consumption of power in Kerala has been 549 units which is much lower than the National Average of 1010 units as observed during FY 2014-15…

Around 293 global and domestic companies have committed to generate 266 GW of solar, wind, mini-hydel and biomass-based power in India over the next 5–10 years.

nd-Ra has maintained a Stable Outlook on most of its rated power sector entities for FY18, as the agency expects its rated entities will continue to manage fuel and state power utility risks due to a favourable tariff mechanism, a comfortable liquidity position and support from central and state governments… - Salil Garg

Haryana power establishments have been a forerunner in terms of growth in comparison to national capacity creation. On the one hand, state boasts to have surplus electricity which is distributed by two state-owned power utilities.

Tamil Nadu is one of the early achievers of 100% village electrification and has the largest wind and solar power generation capacity across the country. The state has been maintaining almost 24 hours power supply to all consumers.

The causes could be like; Carelessness during installation , degeneration of the laminates or slow damage due to years of UV radiation and weathering.

Power factor compensation and harmonic filtration in integrated steel plants is a tool to reduce stress in electrical system. The paper focuses on energy efficiency issues and advantages with compensation and harmonic filtration. The paper presents comparative study of compensation requirement in various steel plant units. It would be interesting to find that requirement is the most in Rolling Mills, BOF, CCP, BF & Sinter Plant. In fact the entire steel plant is energy guzzler and with advent of drives, automation and precision requirement, fanning out electrical system stress has become more important and crucial… - Anil Kumar Choudhary, Md Mobinul Islam

Right to shelter, therefore, includes adequate living space, safe and decent structure, clean and decent surroundings, sufficient light, pure air and water, electricity, sanitation and other civic amenities like roads etc. …….” - — Chameli Singh Vs State of UP (1996)-2 SCC 549 - Aqeel Ahmad

More than ever, managing energy consumption in buildings, production facilities and machines is critical to the success of a company. Making correct cost reduction decisions requires the ability to collect and process all energy-related data. Scalable energy data management systems integrated into PC-based control equipment cover everything from the building to the machine and even each individual motor.

Conventionally, grid connected photovoltaic energy conversion systems are composed of a DC-DC converter and an inverter. The DC-DC converter is controlled to track the maximum power point of the photovoltaic array and the inverter is controlled to produce current in such a way that the system current has low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and it is in phase with the utility voltage. The efficiency of the conventional system is low because the DC-DC converter and the inverter are connected in series. The purpose of this article is to design a photovoltaic generation system for connection in a three-phase system using only a DC/AC inverter... - Dr. L Ashok Kumar
