This research presents an Analysis of Voltage Sags on the Installation of Distributed Generation in the Distribution System. The computer program PSCAD/EMTDC (Power Systems Computer Aided Design / Electromagnetic Transient in DC system) version 4.2 is applied to provide electrical parameters for the modeling and simulation and to analyze the fault occurred which resulted in voltage sag. Test results from PSCAD/EMTDC show the values of voltage sag when 5 types of fault are occurred (Single Line to Ground Fault Double Line to Ground Fault Three Phase to Ground Fault Line to Line Fault and Three Phase Fault). For all cases the value of root mean square voltage before fault is 100% or 1.0 pu. It can be seen that for both radial line and closed circuit when DG are installed in the system the value of phase to ground RMS residual voltage and phase to phase RMS residual voltage at the bus of Bang-pa-in 2 substation are more than the values in case of the system without DG.

Most of Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) electric power system is using overhead line. It is 94% in the system including subtransmission distribution and low voltage system. All of them were installed on concrete pole. At present many public facilities have been built such as Sky-Train. It causes more constrains for construction with concrete pole due to lack of right of way. MEA needs to using electrical monopole plays an important role. It’s easier than concrete pole for construction and it requires less construction area than concrete pole. This research evaluation of The Reduce Effect of Lightning on Transmission Line. Case lightning strike on overhead ground wire (OHGW) at pole top of electrical monopole with suspension insulator Focusing on three factors is pole top voltage critical current and back flashover rate (BFOR). ATP-EMTP software is used for simulation. The results show that BFOR is reduced by 79% on electrical monopole structure with suspension insulator compared with existing concrete pole. BFOR is also reduced by 33.17% on concrete pole with external ground wire. The results could be served as a guideline in subtransmission line design and improvement in MEA power system.

This project presents the simulation of a three-phase generator. The aim is to study and analyze the condition of the generator functions. By simulating the operation of the generator used in factory which use this generator as a backup power source to replace primary power source of electricity-supplier. In this test can start or stop the generator to determine the parameters at that time. The generator is used when the main electrical power distribution error and the generator is disabled when electric power system of electricity-supplier back to normal.

The objective of this paper is to construct the solar car prototype. The car uses flexible solar panels with the battery as a power source. Thereafter the performance of the solar car is tested in the actual condition. This solar car’s body was developed by fiberglass and the internal structure was made from the steel. This car uses the 2 kW brushless DC motor to be the prime mover and the motor is driven by the regenerative dc converter. The power sources are 480 watts of the flexible solar panel with a charger to charge power to four of 12V 33Ah battery. The total weight of the solar car is 173 kg. The solar car’s weight including driver is about 233.4 kg. The solar car test drive is on 10 km distance. The result found that the car has: (1) the average speed is equal to 45.98km/h by using only battery (2) the average speed is equal to 51 km/h when the battery is combined with solar panels. This knowledge should be applied to develop the next version of the solar racing car.

This paper presents reliability evaluation in distribution system with distributed generation. The main objective is to minimize the customer interruption cost subject to given number of distributed generation. The minimization problem for customer interruption cost in solved by the developed tabu search algorithm together with reliability worth analysis that provide an indirect measure for cost implication associated with power outages. The developed methodology is tested with a distribution system of Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS) bus 2 consist of 15 buses and 22 load points. Numerical results from the tests demonstrate that the optimal distributed generation placement can be used to promote reliability of the distribution systems.
