Points To Ponder
Unit-1
Representation of a function f(t) by the linear combination of element of a closed set of
infinite mutually orthogonal function is known as fourier series.
Fourier Transform is a mathematical tool which enable one to do frequency
domain analysis of non-periodic signal.
Main properties of fourier transform are-Linearity; Time scaling, Duality, Time shifting,
Frequency Shifting, Area under g(t), Area underX (f), Differenciation in Time
Domain, Integration in Time Domain, Convolution in Time domain. Convolution in
Frequency domain.
Probability is defined as number of possible favorable outcomes by total number of
possible equally likely outcomes. P(A)=limN
A
\N.
Random variable is used to signify a rule by which a real by which a real number is
assigned to each possible outcome of an experiment
Convolution is a powerful way of characterizing the input-output relationship of time
invariant linear system.there are two convolution theorems one for time domain and one
for frequency domain.
Correlation gives a measure of similarity between two data sequence. In this process two
signal sequences are compared and the degree to which the signal are similar is
computed.
For two sequence x(n).and y(n) cross-correlation function r
xy
(l) is defined as- r
xy
(l)
=
When x(n)=y(n) the cross correlation function becomes the auto correlation function.
Gaussian probability density function is defined as-f(x)=1/2
2
e-(x-m)2/2
2
.
Rayleigh probability density function is defined as- f(r)=0r.
Central limit theorem indicates that the probability density of a sum of N independent
random variable tends to approach a Gaussian density as the number N increases.
Signal processing is an area of applied mathematics that deals with the operation or on
analysis of signal in either discrete or continuous time to perform useful operation on
those signals.
8
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Signals can be classified as Continuous time and Discrete time signals, Periodic and
Non-periodic signals, Analog and Digital signals, Real and Complex
signals, Deterministic and Random signals, Even and Odd signals, Energy and Power
signals.
Unit-2
The process by which some characteristics of a signal called carrier is varied in
accordance with instantaneous value of another signal called modulating signal .signals
containing information to be transmitted are referred to as modulating signals. This
information bearing signal is also called as baseband signal.The carrier frequency is
greater than the modulating frequencies. The signal resulting from the process of
modulation is called as modulated signal.
Modulation is of two type Amplitude modulation and Angle modulation.
Amplitude modulation is defined as a system of modulation in which the amplitude of the
carrier is made proportional to the instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal.
There are two device for the generation of AM wave-Square law modulator
,Switching modulator.
Demodulation or detection is the reverse process of modulation .Which provide a mean
of recovering from an incoming modulated wave an output that is proportional to the
original modulating wave.
Two methods are used for the demodulation of AM signal namely Square law detector
and Envelope detector
By multiplying the modulating signal m(t) with a sinusoidal carrier signal cos ct, we
obtain a method for achieving frequency translation ,which is known as DSB-SC.(Double
side band suppressed carrier)..The modulated signal has c+m and c-m frequency
terms. The two terms mentioned above are known as sidebands,lower sideband and upper
sideband respectively
Two methods of generation of DSB-SC is balance modulator and switching modulator
and for detection synchronous detection.
Transmission bandwidth of standard AM as well as DSB-SC modulated wave is 2W Hz
or 2 fm i.e, twice the bandwidth W.
Information contained in the USB is exactly identical to that carried by LSB ,So
by transmitting both the sideband we are transmitting the same information twice.
Hence when only one sideband is transmitted it is referred to as single sideband
suppressed carrier(SSB).
Two methods for the generation of SSB are-Selective filtering method and Phase
shift method and for detection synchronous detection method is used.
Vestigial side band transmission(VSB)-The stringent frequency-response
requirements on the sideband filter in SSB-SC can be relaxed by allowing a part
of the unwanted side band to appear in the output of the modulator. In this
modulation scheme one sideband is passed almost completely where as just a
trace or vestige of the other sideband is retained.
9
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Methods for the generation of VSB are Filter method and Phase discriminator
method.
A device that is capable of transmitting amplitude modulated wave is in
general ,known as AM transmitter. AM transmitter not only performs the
modulation process, but also raises the power level of a modulated signal to
desired extent for effective radiation.
Angle modulation is the process of varying the total phase angle of a carrier wave
in accordance with the instantaneous value of the modulating signals, keeping
amplitude of the carrier constant.
Angle modulation is of two type Phase modulation and Frequency modulation.
Modulation index is the ratio of the frequency deviation to the modulation
frequency m. Depending on the value of modulation index , the frequency
modulation is of two type-Narrow band FM and Wideband FM.
Two methods for the generation of FM are Indirect method and Direct method.
And for demodulation the two methods are Slope Detector and phase difference
detector.
Stereo multiplexing is a type of FDM which is specially designed to transmit two
separate signals via same carrier.
Unit-3
TRF stands for tuned radio frequency. Its the simplest radio receiver which perform the
following function- Interception, Selection, RF amplification, Detection, Audio
Amplification, Reproduction.
The performance of receiver is improved by a process known as heterodyning. A
receiver based on this process is known as superheterodyne receiver.
Performance of receiver is examined by following features-Selectivity, Sensitivity, and
Fidelity.
A superheterodyne receiver block diagram consist up of Antenna, RF amplifier, Local
oscillator, Mixer or Detector, IF amplifier, Second Detector, AF voltage and power
amplifier. And Speaker.
Intermediate frequency are tuned voltage amplifier. most of the receiver gain is provided
by IF amplifier.
R.F amplifier is a small signal tuned amplifier with tuned circuit both in the input side
and the output side. A radio receiver always has an RF section which is a tunable circuit
connected to the antenna terminals.
Main advantage of RF amplifier are as follows-1)Greater gain i.e, better
sensitivity.2)Improved signal/noise ratio.3)Improved image frequency
rejection.4)Improved coupling of the receiver to the antenna.5)Better sensitivity.
Automatic gain control or automatic volume control is an adaptive system found in many
electronics devices. In this the average output signal level is feedback to adjust the gain to
an appropriate level for a range of input signal level.
AGC effectively reduce the volume if the signal is strong and raises it when it is weaker.
It is also called as compressor expander.
10
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
FM receiver is also known as superheterodyne receiver. Its operating frequency is higher
than AM receiver, there is need of limiting and de-emphasis in FM.
AFC stands for automatic frequency controller. AFC is a method to automatically
maintain a tuning of electromagnetic radiation signal to desired frequency.
Unit-4
Nyquist sampling theorem-A signal whose spectrum is bandlimited to B Hz[G()=0 for |
| >2B] can be reconstructed exactly from its samples taken uniformly at a rate R>2B
Hz(samples per second). In other words ,the minimum sampling frequency is fs=2B Hz .
There are four ways to generate sampled signal these are-Instantaneous sampling, Ideal
sampling, Natural sampling, Flat-top sampling.
Aliasing Effect-When a band limited signal is sampled at rate lower than nyquist rate
fo<2fm or sampling interval is higher than nyquist interval (T>1/2 fm), then periodically
repeating F() in the spectrum of sampled signal overlap with neighbouring ones.
The technique of separating the signal in time is called time division multiplexing(TDM).
The amplitude of a constant width, constant position varied in proportion with the
instantaneous magnitude of the modulating signal is called as pulse amplitude
modulation(PAM).
When we represent each quantized level by a code number and transmit the code number
rather than the sample value itself. The digits of the binary representation of the code
number are transmitted as pulses. Thus the system of transmission is known as Pulse
Code Modulation(PCM).
Quantization is the process of converting a discrete-time continuous amplitude signal
such as sampled version of a analog signal in to discrete-amplitude discrete-time signal.
This is accomplished by approximating the amplitude of each sample value to the nearest
value from a set of predetermined discrete amplitude levels known as quantization level.
Companding is the process of compressing and then expanding ,to keep signal to noise
ratio high.
There are two methods of analog companding
In the A-law companding the compressor characteristic is piecewise ,made up of a linear
segment for low level inputs and a logarithmic segment for high level input.
11
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
In the -law companding, the compressor characteristic is continuous. It is approximately
linear for smaller values of input levels and logarithmic for high input level.
ASK(amplitude shift keying) is a form of digital modulation.
FSK(frequency shift keying) is a form of constant-amplitude angle modulation similar to
standard frequency modulation(FM) expect the modulating signal is a binary signal that
varies between two discrete voltage levels rather than a continuously changing analog
waveform. FSK is also known as BPSK.
(PSK)Phase shift keying is an M- ary digital modulation, with PSK the input is a binary
digital signal and there are a limited number of output phases possible .Before
modulating the carrier ,the input binary information is encoded into groups of bits . In a
group ,the number of bits ranges from 1 to 12 or more.The number of output phases is
defined by M and determined by the number of bits in the group(n).. Here M=2N.
N=Number of bits necessary. M=Number of condition possible with N bits.
QPSK(quadrature PSK) is an M-ary encoding scheme where N=2 and M=4.In QPSK ,
four output phases are possible for a single carrier frequency.
QAM stands for quadrature amplitude modulation .It is both i.e, an analog and digital
modulation scheme. It is a combination of amplitude modulation and phase shift
keying .QAM is a method of combining two amplitude-modulated signals into a single
channel,thereby doubling the effective bandwidth.
The undesired electrical signals that are introduced with a message signal, during the
transmission or reception or processing of the signal is commonly known as Noise. There
are two sources of noise- External Noise and Internal Noise.
Noise figure is defined as the ratio of the signal to noise power supplied to the input
terminal of the receiver or amplifier to the signal to noise power applied to the output
load resistor.
Unit-5
A satellite communication is basically an electronic communication package placed in
orbit around the earth. The prime objective of the satellite is to aid communication
transmission from one point on or near earth to another.
Basic structure of satellite communication system consist up of user, Terrestrial system,
Earth station and Satellite.
Basic block diagram of earth station consist up of input baseband signal, encoder
modulator, up converter and high power amplifier these all combine and make the
transmitter side then signal is send to a polarized diplexer and then to the antenna from
where is send back to low noise amplifier, down converter, demodulator and decoder
which is combinely called as the receiver side and finally we get the output base band
signal.
Allocating frequencies to satellite services is a complicated process .Frequency bands are
allocated to various satellite services.
Multiple access is defined as the ability of services to be accessible by different users. In
satellite there are four domain that can be considered by the user to access the satellite.
12
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
1)FDMA-Frequency division multiple access. where n number of stations on n different
frequency bands can access the satellite.
2).TDMA-Time division multiple access where each station is allocated specific time
slots to access the satellite may be in same frequency band.
3)SDMA-Space division multiple access where different antenna beams or polarization
can be used to access the satellite, resulting in frequency re-use.
4)CDMA-Code division multiple access, where each station transmits on specific random
codes and access the satellites, resources without interference.
In a communication satellite ,a transponder is the series of interconnected units which
forms a single communication channel between the receive and
transmit antenna.A transponder consist up of a band pass filter to select the particular
channels band of frequencies ,a down converter to change the frequency from 6ghz input
to 4ghz output and an output amplifier.
Transponders are of three types-Single conversion transponder, Double conversion
transponder and Onboard processing transponder.
In any satellite system communication link, earth station is an essential element which
receives and transmit the information to the satellite network.
When the earth comes between the sun and the satellite. This is called as eclipse of the
satellite.

POINTS TO PONDER
UNIT -I
Introduction of Control System:
Control systems are an integral part of modern society. Numerous applications are all around us:
The rockets fire, and the space shuttle lifts off to earth orbit; in splashing cooling water, a
metallic part is automatically machined; a self-guided vehicle delivering material to workstations
in an aerospace assembly plant glides along the floor seeking its destination. These are just a few
examples of theautomatically controlled systems that we can create. We are not the only creators
of automatically controlled systems; these systems.
Control System Definitions:
Control System:A control system consists of subsystems and processes (or plants) assembled
for the purpose of obtaining a desired output with desired performance, given a specified input.
Open loop System: a system in which the control action is totally independent of the output of
the system s called as open loop system.
Closed loop system:a system in which the control action is somehow dependent of the output
of the system s called as closed loop system.
Transfer Function: The ratio of the Laplace transform of the output response to the Laplace
transform input response.
Block Diagram: Block diagram is the pictorial representation of the cause and effect
relationship between input and output of the control system.
Signal flow graph :it is a diagram that represents a set of simultaneous linear algebraic
equations. It consists of network in which nodes are an nested by directed branches. Each node
represents a system variable and each branch connected between two nodes acts as a signal
multiplier. Signal flow in analysis direction.

Time Response Analysis
Time Response Analysis of control system: Definition
The Response given by the system which is function of the time to the applied excitation is
called time response of a control system.
Transient Response:- The output variation during the time it takes to achieve its final value
is called as transient response.
Steady state response:- It is response of the system as time approaches from the time at
which transient response completely dies out.
25

State space analysis:
Modern control theory is contrasted with conventional control theory in that the from
applicable to multi input multi output system which may be linear or nonlinear time invariant or
time varying, while the letter is applicable only to linear time invariant single input single output
so system. Modern control theory is essentially a time domain approach, while conventional
control theory is a complex frequency domain approach.
State: state of the system i.e dynamic behavior of the system. Initial conditions describe the
status or state of the system at t= t
o
.
State variable: The smallest set of the variables which determine the state of the dynamic system
are called state variables,
State vectors: The a state vector is a vector that determines uniquely the system state x(t) for any
time t to once the state at t=
to
is given & the input u(t) for t t
o
is specified.
State space: The n- dimensional state variables are elements of n- dimensional space called state
space. Any state can be represented by a point in the state space.
Sate space representation
X = AX+BU - state space equation
Y = CX +DU - output equation
TransferMatrix : The matrix relating Laplace transform of output to Laplace transform of input
of state space representation of a control system is known as transfer matrix.
Y(s) / X(s) = G (s) = C (SI-A)

Eigen values
( I -A) =0
Solution of I-A=0 gives roots of characteristics equation & called eigen values of given
system.
UNIT 3
Stability analysis
Stability Control system:
The concept of Stability is very important to analyze and design the system. A system is said to
be stable if its response cannot be made to increase indefinitely by the application of a bounded
input excitation. If the output approaches towards infinite value for sufficiently large time, the
system said to be Unstable.
RouthHorwitzs criterion for stability analysis of control system:
26
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
For the stability of the system it is necessary & sufficient that each term of first column of Routh
Array of the characteristic equation be positive if a
0
> 0
,
if this condition is not met the system is
unstable & no of sign changes of the terms of the first column of the Routh Array corresponds to
the no of roots of the characteristics equation in the right half of s plane.
Root Locus:
It is a technique for finding the roots of the characteristics equation provides a graphical method
of plotting the locus of the roots in the s-plane as a given system parameter is varied over the
complete range of values.
The root locus also provides a measure of sensitivity of roots to the variation in the parameter
being considered. This technique is applicable for single as well as multiple loop system.
UNIT 4
FREQUENCY DOMAIN ANALYSIS
Bode Plot: A Bode plot consists of two graphs: one is a plot of the logarithm of the
magnitude of a sinusoidal transfer function; the other is a plot of the phase angle; both are plotted
against the frequency in logarithmic scale. By using Bode Plot determine the Gain Margin,
Phase Margin, Gain crossover frequency, Phase Crossover frequency and Stability of the system.
Nyquist Stability Criteria:
The Nyquist stability is a graphical procedure for determining absolute and relative stability of
closed loop system based on the frequency response method.
The Nyquist procedure is based a theory of Complex variables due to Caochy, Commonly
known as principle of arguments.
UNIT 5
COMPENSATION
Compensation:If the performance of a control system is not good as per desired specification
then some changes in the control system must be made in order to get the desired performance.
The performance of a control system may be described in terms if the frequency or in term of the
time domain.This can be obtained by applying compensation technique.
Types of compensation technique:
1. Cascade or Series Compensation
2. Feedback or Parallel Compensation
3. Series and Parallel Compensation
Compensating Networks: There are three types of Compensating Networks.
1. Lag Network
2. Lead Network
3. Lag-Lead Network
MATLAB has a rich collection of functions which are useful to control engineers. The control
system toolbox is built on the MATLAB platform. The toolbox is generally written as M files
27
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
which implements control system design, analysis & modeling techniques. A control system can
be modeled as a transfer function pole zero gain, or state space form. Continuous time & discrete
time systems can be modeled. Time response, frequency response and root locus can be graphed.

POINTS OF PONDERS
Unit-I
Fault Analysis
45
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Symmetrical component: method of symmetrical coordinates applied to solution of poly phase
network showed that unbalanced system of n related phases can be represented in terms of n
systems of balance phases called symmetrical component.
1. Positive sequence
2. Negative sequence
3. Zero sequence
Sequence impedance: positive sequence impedance of a circuit is impedance offered by the
circuit to the flow of positive sequence current only. Negative sequence impedance of a circuit is
a impedance offered by the circuit to the flow of negative sequence currents only .zero sequence
impedance of a circuit is impedance offered by the circuit to the flow of zero sequence current
only.

Sequence network: single phase equivalent circuit composed of the impendences to current of
any one sequence only is called the sequence network for the particular sequence. Sequence
network includes any generated emf of the like sequence. Sequence networks carrying the
currents i
a1,
i
a2,
i
a0
are interconnected to represent various unbalanced condition .
Fault calculation:generally fault can be classified as
1. Shunt fault (short circuit):these faults are characterised by increase in current and fall in
voltage in the faulted phases and also frequency fall. shunt type faults are classified as
A. Line to ground fault B.Line to line fault C.Double line to line fault
These are unsymmetrical faults
46
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
2. Series faults(open conductor):
A. One open conductor
B. Two open conductor series faults
Line to ground fault : a short circuit between one line and ground, very often caused by
physical contact, for example due to lightning or other storm damage.


Line to Line fault: a short circuit between lines, caused by ionization of air, or when lines come
into physical contact, for example due to a broken insulator.



47
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal

Double Line to ground fault: two lines come into contact with the ground (and each other), also
commonly due to storm damage.


Current limiting reactors: fault current is limited by the system reactance , which includes the
impedance of the generators , transformer , lines ,and other components of the system .
Location of reactor: current limiting reactors may be connected
1. in series with each generator
2. in series with each feeder
3. between bus bar sections

Unit II
Protective Relays
Requirement of relay: the detection of a fault and disconnection of a faulty section or apparatus
can be achieved by using relaying conjunction with circuit breaker.
Primary protection: Is the protection in which the fault occurring in a line will be cleared by
its own relay and circuit breaker. It serves as the first line of defense.
Back up protection: Is the second line of defense, which operates if the primary protection fails
to activate within a definite time delay
Desirable quantity of relay:
1. Selectivity
2. Speed
48
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
3. Sensitivity
4. Reliability
5. Simplicity
6. economy
Pickup level: the value of the actuating quantity (current or voltage) which is on the threshold
(border) above which relay operates.
Reset level:the value of current or voltage below which a relay opens its contacts and comes to
original position.
Operating time:the time which elapses between the instant when the actuating quantity exceed
the pickup value to the instant when the relay contacts closed.
Plug setting multiplier: it is the ratio of fault current in relay coil to the pickup current.
Time setting multiplier: a relay is generally provided with controlled to adjust the time of
operation this adjustment is known as time setting multiplier.
Inverse time & definite time charters tics: is one in which the operating time is approximately
inversely proportionally to the fault current near pick up value and become substantially
constant slightly above the pickup value of the relay.
Electromagnetic attraction relays: electromagnetic attraction relay operates by virtue of an
armature being attracted to the poles of an electromagnet such relays may be actuated by dc or ac
quantity. These are two types:
1. Attracted armature type relay
2. Balanced beam type
Induction relay: electromagnetic induction relays operate on the principle of induction motor
and are widely used for protective relaying purpose involving ac quantities these are generally
two types.
1. Induction disc
2. Induction cup
Over current relay: this relay operates when the value of current exceed pre specified value.
these are five types.
1. Instantaneous over current relay
2. Inverse time current relay
3. IDMT over current relay
4. Very inverse relay
5. Extremely inverse relay
Over voltage relay: this relay operate when the value of voltage exceed pre specified value.
49
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Directional over current relay: it operates on the assumption that on occurrence of fault
direction of the current gets reversed and due to these directional unit classes contacts of over
current relay and circuit breaker is tripped.
Distance relay: there is another group of relays in which the operation is governed by the ratio
of the applied voltage to current in protected circuit such relay is called distance relay .these are
three types
1. Impedance relay
2. Reactance relay
3. Mho relay
Differential relay: the differential relay is one that operates when the vector difference of two or
more similar electrical quantities exceeds a predetermined value.
Static relay: the term static relay refers to a relay which incorporates solid states components
like transistors, diodes, etc .for the measurements or comparison of electrical quantities.

Unit III
Circuit Breakers
Arc phenomena: when electron generated , due to field emission or due to thermal emission,
collide with other gas molecule more electrons are generated and this sustains the arc increase
in mean free path facilitates ionization so if density of gas is less is less , more electrons will be
liberated . When temperature of gas reaches a very high value it increases chances of ionization
and at this stage thermal ionization becomes main source to maintain arc.
Recovery voltage: the power frequency r.m.s voltage that appears across the breaker contacts
after transient oscillations die out and final extinction of arc has resulted in all poles is called the
recovery voltage.
Restriking voltage: the resultant transient voltage which appears across the breaker contacts at
the instant of arc extinction is known as the restriking voltage.
Types of circuit breaker:
1. Oil circuit breakers
A. Bulk oil circuit breakers
B. Minimum oil circuit breakers
2. Air blast circuit breaker
3. Sulphur hexa fluoride circuit breaker
4. Vacuum circuit breaker
Oil circuit breaker: oil is an excellent quenching medium its dielectric strength is much higher
than air. Arc when produced in oil, decomposes the oil and loose its energy so oil is a good
cooling medium. Gas formed due to decomposition of oil from breaker space and new oil
replaces it .in this way dielectric strength of breaker gap is easily restored oil is a good insulator
also.
50
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Minimum oil circuit breaker: the quantity of oil required to quench on arc is small (10%) as
compared to total oil in bulk oil circuit breaker.
Air blast circuit breaker: arc quenching in oil circuit breakers take place due to formation of
hydrogen, in place of hydrogen if air is used then it becomes air blast circuit breaker. Air is used
at high pressure.
Types of air blast circuit breaker:
1. Cross blast circuit breaker
2. Axial blast circuit breaker
Vacuum circuit breaker: mean free path of electrons and particles is order of few meters in a
vacuum of the order of 10
-4
to 10
-6
torr. in vacuum arc the natural atom, ions and electrons do not
come from the medium in which the arc is drawn but they are obtained from the electrodes
themselves by evaporating its surface material dielectric strength of vacuum is a thousand time
more than when ges is used as interrupting medium.
Sulphur hexa fluoride (SF
6
), circuit breaker: SF
6
has high electron affinity when a free
electron collides with SF
6
molecule it gets attached to it. When an electron gets attached to SF
6
molecule heavy negative ions are formed which cannot move with speed required to produce
ionization in the gas. In this way SF
6
absorbs electrons which may forms electron avalanche. SF
6
also has low gaseous viscosity which combined with high molecular Wight enable it to transfer
heat by convection more effectively. In this way SF
6
is very effective arc quenching medium.
DC circuit breaker: with the latest developments in HVDC transmission there would naturally
be the necessity of the HVDC circuit breaker. These are two types.
1. Light duty DC air break circuit breakers
2. High speed DC air break circuit breaker
HRC fuses: fuse is a simplest current interrupting device for protection from excessive
currents .as such, it is used for overload and short circuit protection in medium voltage (up to
33KV) and low voltage (up to 400V) installations. Modern high rupturing capacity fuses (HRC)
provide a reliable discriminations and accurate characteristics. In some respects HRC fuses are
superior to circuit breaker.
Testing of circuit breaker:
1. Short circuit tests:
A. Making capacity test
B. Breaking capacity test
C. Short time current teat
D. Operating duty test
2. Dielectric test:
A. Power frequency test:
I. One minute dry withstand test

B. Impulse voltage dry withstand test
3. Thermal test
4. Mechanical test
Unit IV
System Protection
Protection of alternator: some of the important faults which may occur on an alternator
1. Failure of prime mover
2. Failure of field
3. Over current
4. Over speed
5. Over voltage
6. Unbalanced loading
7. Stator winding faults
1. Failure of prime mover: when input to the prime mover fails the alternator runs as a
synchronous motor and draws some current from the supply system.
2. Failure of field: the chances of field failure of alternator are undoubtedly very rare. Even
if it does occurs, no immediate damage will be caused by permitting the alternator to run
without a field for a short period.
3. Over current: it occurs mainly due to partial breakdown of winding insulation or due to
over load on the supply system.
4. Over speed: the chief cause of over speed is the sudden loss of all or the major part of
load on the alternator.
5. Over voltage: the field excitation system of modern alternators is so designed that over
voltage conditions at normal running speeds can not occur.

6. Unbalanced loading: unbalanced loading means that there are different phase currents in
the alternator.
7. Stator winding faults: these faults occur mainly due to the insulation failure of the stator
winding. these faults are three types:
A. Fault between phase and ground
B. Fault between phases
C. Inter turn fault involving turns of the same phase winding
Differential protection of alternators: the most common system used for the protection of
stator winding faults employs circulating current principle. In this scheme of protection, currents
at the two ends of the protected section are compared. Under normal operating conditions, these
currents are equal but may become unequal on the occurrence of a fault in the protected section.
The difference of the currents under fault condition is arranged to pass through the operating coil
of the relay. The relay then closes its contacts to isolate protected section from the system. This
form of protection is also known as merz price circulating current scheme.
Balanced earth fault protection: it consists of three line current transformer s, one mounted in
each phase, having their secondarys connected in parallel with that of a single current
transformer in the conductor joining the star point of the of the alternator to earth . relay is
connected acrss the transformer secondarys. The protection against earth fault is limited to the
region between the neutral and the line current transformers.
Stators inter turn protection: merz price circulating current system protects against phase to
ground and phase to phase fault. It does not protect against turn to turn fault on the same phase
winding of the stator. For it we use stator inter turn protection.
Protection of transformer: transformer is need to protected against short circuit and
overheating. For transformer having low KVA rating over current relays are used but for
transformer with large MVA ratings differential protection is used.
Common transformer faults:
1. Open circuit
2. Overheating
3. Winding short circuit i.e. earth faults, phase to phase faults inter turn faults.
Buchholz relay: providing protection against all kinds of incipient faults i.e. slow developing
faults such as insulation failure of windings, core heating, fall of oil level due to leaky joints etc.
Earth fault relay: providing protection against earth fault only.
Over current relays: providing protection mainly against phase to phase faults and overloading.
Differential system: providing protection against both earth and phase faults.

Surge protection and insulation co-ordination
Switching surges: the over voltage produced on the power system due to switching operations
are known as switching surges.
Lightning: an electric discharge between cloud and earth, between clouds or between charge
centres of the same cloud is known as lightning.
Protection against lightning: the most commonly used devices for protection against lightning
surges are.
A. Earthing screen
B. Overhead ground wire
C. Lightning arresters or surge diverters
Lightning arrester: it is a protective device which conducts the high voltage surge on the power
system to the ground
Types of lightning arresters.
A. Rod gap arrester
B. Horn gap arrester
C. Multi gap arrester
D. Expulsion type arrester
E. Valve type lightning arrester
Surge absorber: it is a protective device which reduces the steepness of wave front of a surge
by absorbing surge energy.
Methods of neutral grounding: the methods commonly used for grounding the neutral point of
a 3-phase system are:
A. Solid grounding: when the neutral point of a 3-phase system is directly connected to earth
through a wire of negligible resistance and reactance ,it is called solid grounding
B. Resistance grounding: when the neutral point of a 3-phase system is connected to earth
through a resister, it is called resistance grounding.
C. Reactance grounding: in this system, a reactance is inserted between the neutral and
ground, the purpose of reactance is to limit the earth fault current.
D. Petertion-coil grounding: when the value of L of arc suppression coil (petertion coil) is
such that the fault current exactly balance the capacitive current,it is called resonant
grounding.
Earthing transformer: we sometimes have to create a neutral point on a 3-phase,3-
wire(e.g.delta connection etc.) to change it in to 3-phase 4-wire system this can be done by
means of a earthing transformer.
54
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Earth wire: the conductor running parallel to the power conductors of the transmission line and
is placed at the top of the tower structure supporting. the ground wire serves the following
purpose-
A. It shields the power conductor from direct lightning stroke
B. Whenever a lightning stroke falls on the tower, the ground wires on both sides of the
tower provide parallel paths for the stroke therefore the effective impedance is reduced
and the tower top potential is relatively less.
C. There is electric coupling between the ground wire and the power conductors, thereby
the chances of insulation failure are reduced.
Insulation coordination: it means the correlation of the insulation of the various equipments in
a power system to the insulation of the protective devices used for the protection of those
equipments against overvoltage.
Insulation coordination between lines and substation equipment: either the line or the
substation is over insulated with normal insulation for the other thus there are two cases-
A. Lines normally insulated ,substation over insulated
B.Lines over insulated, substation normally insulated

Points To Ponder
Unit-1 Energy audit:
Principle: When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing
energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort, health and safety are of
primary concern. Beyond simply identifying the sources of energy use, an energy audit seeks to
prioritize the energy uses according to the greatest to least cost effective opportunities for energy
saving.
The term energy audit is commonly used to describe a broad spectrum of energy
studies ranging from a quick walk-through of a facility to identify major problem areas to a
comprehensive analysis of the implications of alternative energy efficiency measures sufficient
to satisfy the financial criteria of sophisticated investors
Energy monitoring: is an energy efficiency technique based on the standard management axiom
stating that you cannot manage what you cannot measure. M&T techniques provide Energy
Managers with feedback on operating practices.

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy consumption through using less of an energy
service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use, which refers to using less energy
for a constant service. For example, driving less is an example of energy conservation.
Energy management includes planning and operation of energy-related production and
consumption units. Objectives are resource conservation, climate protection and cost savings,
while the users have permanent access to the energy they need. environmental management,
production management, logistics and It is connected closely to other established business
functions.
Operations and ensures that some level of organizational stability and an orderly recovery after a
disaster will prevail. Minimizing downtime and data loss is measured in terms of two concepts:
the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
The recovery time objective is the time within which a business process must be restored, after a
major incident (MI) has occurred, in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a
Unit-2 Thermodynamics of Energy Conservation:
The law of conservation of energy,
First formulated in the nineteenth century, is a law of physics. It states that the total amount of
energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. The total energy is said to be conserved
over time. For an isolated system, this law means that energy can change its location within the
system, and that it can change form within the system, for instance chemical can become kinetic
energy, but that energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
First law of thermodynamics: For a closed thermodynamic system, the first law of
thermodynamics may be stated as:
89
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Where is the amount of energy added to the system by a heating process, is the amount
of energy lost by the system due to work done by the system on its surroundings and is the
change in the internal energy of the system.
Second law of thermodynamics: Heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder location
to a hotter location.
The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the universal principle of dissipation of
kinetic and potential energy observable in nature. The second law is an observation of the fact
that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential tend to even out in a
physical system that is isolated from the outside world. Entropy is a measure of how much this
process has progressed. The entropy of an isolated system that is not in equilibrium tends to
increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.
Primary energy:- is an energy form found in nature that has not been subjected to any
conversion or transformation process. It is energy contained in raw fuels, and other
forms of energy received as input to a system. Primary energy can be non-
renewable or renewable.

Energy recovery includes any technique or method of minimizing the input of energy to an
overall system by the exchange of energy from one sub-system of the overall system with
another. The energy can be in any form in either subsystem, but most energy recovery systems
exchange thermal energy in either sensible or latent form.
Principle
A common utilization of this principle is in systems which have an exhaust stream or waste
stream which is transferred from the system to its surroundings. Some of the energy in that flow
of material (often gaseous or liquid) may be transferred to the make-up or input material flow.
This input mass flow often comes from the system's surroundings, which, being at ambient
conditions, are at a lower temperature than the waste stream. This temperature differential allows
heat transfer and thus energy transfer, or in this case, recovery. Thermal energy is often
recovered from liquid or gaseous waste streams to fresh make-up air and water intakes in
buildings, such as for the HVAC systems, or process systems.
Thermal insulation is the reduction of heat transfer (the transfer of thermal energy between
objects of differing temperature) between objects in thermal contact or in range of radiative
influence. Thermal insulation can be achieved with specially engineered methods or processes,
as well as with suitable object shapes and materials.
Preventive maintenance (PM) has the following meanings:
1. The care and servicing by personnel for the purpose of maintaining equipment and
facilities in satisfactory operating condition by providing for systematic inspection,
detection, and correction of incipient failures either before they occur or before they
develop into major defects.
2. Maintenance , including tests, measurements, adjustments, and parts replacement,
performed specifically to prevent faults from occurring.
91
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Difference Between Preventive and Predictive Maintenance
Predictive maintenance tends to include direct measurement of the item. Example, an infrared
picture of a circuit board to determine hot spots while Preventive Maintenance includes the
evaluation of particles in suspension in a lubricant, sound and vibration analysis of a machine.
Unit-3
Energy storage is accomplished by devices or physical media that store energy to
perform useful operation at a later time. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an
accumulator.
All forms of energy are either potential energy (e.g. Chemical, gravitational, electrical energy,
etc.) or kinetic energy (e.g. thermal energy). A wind-up clock stores potential energy (in this case
mechanical, in the spring tension), a battery stores readily convertible chemical energy to operate
a mobile phone, and a hydroelectric dam stores energy in a reservoir as gravitational potential
energy. Ice storage tanks store ice (thermal energy) at night to meet peak demand for cooling.
Fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline store ancient energy derived from sunlight by organisms
that later died, became buried and over time were then converted into these fuels. Even food
(which is made by the same process as fossil fuels) is a form of energy stored in chemical form.
Modern era developments
Storing energy allows humans to balance the supply and demand of energy. Energy storage
systems in commercial use today can be broadly categorized as mechanical, electrical, chemical,
biological and thermal.
Advanced systems
Electrochemical devices called fuel cells were invented about the same time as the battery in the
19th Century. However, for many reasons, fuel cells were not well-developed until the advent of
manned spaceflight (such as the Gemini Program in the U.S.) when lightweight, non-thermal
(and therefore efficient) sources of electricity were required in spacecraft. Fuel cell development
has increased in recent years due to an attempt to increase conversion efficiency of chemical
energy stored in hydrocarbon or hydrogen fuels into electricity.
The time value of money is the value of money figuring in a given amount of interest earned
over a given amount of time. The time value of money is the central concept in finance theory.
Some standard calculations based on the time value of money are:
Present value:- The current worth of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows
given a specified rate of return. Future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate, and
the higher the discount rate, the lower the present value of the future cash flows.
Determining the appropriate discount rate is the key to properly valuing future cash
flows, whether they be earnings or obligations.
92
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Present value of an annuity An annuity is a series of equal payments or receipts that
occur at evenly spaced intervals. Leases and rental payments are examples. The payments
or receipts occur at the end of each period for an ordinary annuity while they occur at the
beginning of each period for an annuity due.
Present value of a perpetuity is an infinite and constant stream of identical cash flows.
Future value is the value of an asset or cash at a specified date in the future that is
equivalent in value to a specified sum today.
Many studies have been done to estimate the cycle times, decay times, and capacities of each of
these processors. Variables that affect these can include subject age, aptitudes, ability, and the
surrounding environment. For a younger adult, reasonable estimates are:
93

Parameter Mean Range
Eye movement time 230 ms 70-700 ms
Decay half-life of visual image storage 200 ms 90-1000 ms
Perceptual processor cycle time 100 ms 50-200 ms
Cognitive processor cycle time 70 ms 25-170 ms
Motor processor cycle time 70 ms 30-100 ms
Effective working memory capacity 2 items 2-3 items
Long-term memory is believed to have an infinite capacity and decay time.
Energy economics is a broad scientific subject area which includes topics related to supply and
use of energy in societies. Due to diversity of issues and methods applied and shared with a
number of academic disciplines, energy economics does not present itself as a self-contained
academic discipline, but it is an applied subdiscipline of economics. From the list of main topics
of economics, some relate strongly to energy economics:
Costbenefit analysis (CBA), sometimes called benefitcost analysis (BCA), is a systematic
process for calculating and comparing benefits and costs of a project, decision or overnmengt
policy (hereafter, "project"). CBA has two purposes:
1. To determine if it is a sound investment/decision (justification/feasibility),
2. To provide a basis for comparing projects. It involves comparing the total expected cost
of each option against the total expected benefits, to see whether the benefits outweigh
the costs, and by how much.
[1]
Process
The following is a list of steps that comprise a generic cost-benefit analysis.
1. List alternative projects/programs.
2. List stakeholders.
3. Select measurement(s) and measure all cost/benefit elements.
4. Predict outcome of cost and benefits over relevant time period.
5. Convert all costs and benefits into a common currency.
6. Apply discount rate.
7. Calculate net present value of project options.
8. Perform sensitivity analysis.
9. Adopt recommended choice.
Unit-4 Energy efficient electric drives:
The high electrical conductivity of copper is an important design factor that helps to improve the
energy efficiency of motors. This is important because motors and motor-driven systems are very
94
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
significant consumers of electricity, accounting for 43%-46% of all global electricity
consumption and 69% of all electricity used by industry.
Inefficient electric motors waste electrical energy. Since most electricity is generated from fossil-
fueled power plants, motors and motor-driven systems are indirect contributors to greenhouse
gas emissions produced by these plants. Hence, there are compelling economic and
environmental reasons to increase the use of energy efficient motors.
Unit-5
Efficient energy , sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is the goal of efforts to reduce the
amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example, insulating a home
allows a building to use less heating and cooling energy to achieve and maintain a comfortable
temperature. Installing fluorescent lights or natural skylights reduces the amount of energy
required to attain the same level of illumination compared with using traditional incandescent
light bulbs. Compact fluorescent lights use one-third the energy of incandescent lights and may
last 6 to 10 times longer. Improvements in energy efficiency are most often achieved by adopting
a more efficient technology or production process.
Energy efficiency and renewable energy are said to be the twin pillars of sustainable energy
policy. In many countries energy efficiency is also seen to have a national security benefit
because it can be used to reduce the level of energy imports from foreign countries and may slow
down the rate at which domestic energy resources are depleted.
Appliances

95
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
Modern appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, ovens, stoves, dishwashers, and clothes
washers and dryers, use significantly less energy than older appliances. Installing a clothesline
will significantly reduce your energy consumption as your dryer will be used less
Cogeneration (also combined heat and power, CHP) is the use of a heat engine or a power
station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat
Cogeneration was practiced in some of the earliest installations of electrical generation. Before
central stations distributed power, industries generating their own power used exhaust steam for
process heating. Large office and apartment buildings, hotels and stores commonly generated
their own power and used waste steam for building heat. Because of the economies and high cost
of early purchased power, these combined heat and power operations continued for many years
after utility electricity became available. Cogeneration is still common in pulp and paper mills,
refineries and chemical plants.
Effective energy-efficient building design can include the use of low cost Passive Infra Reds
(PIRs) to switch-off lighting when areas are unnoccupied such as toilets, corridors or even office
areas out-of-hours. In addition, lux levels can be monitored using daylight sensors linked to the
building's lighting scheme to switch on/off or dim the lighting to pre-defined levels to take into
account the natural light and thus reduce consumption. Building Management Systems (BMS)
96
Truba Group of Institutes, Bhopal
link all of this together in one centralised computer to control the whole building's lighting and
power requirements.
Industry
Industry uses a large amount of energy to power a diverse range of manufacturing and resource
extraction processes. Many industrial processes require large amounts of heat and mechanical
power, most of which is delivered as natural gas, petroleum fuels and as electricity. In addition
some industries generate fuel from waste products that can be used to provide additional energy.
Because industrial processes are so diverse it is impossible to describe the multitude of possible
opportunities for energy efficiency in industry. Many depend on the specific technologies and
processes in use at each industrial facility. There are, however, a number of processes and energy
services that are widely used in many industries.
Various industries generate steam and electricity for subsequent use within their facilities. When
electricity is generated, the heat that is produced as a by-product can be captured and used for
process steam, heating or other industrial purposes. Conventional electricity generation is about
30% efficient, whereas combined heat and power (also called co-generation) converts up to 90
percent of the fuel into usable energy.
