This project is meant as the culmination of all methods covered in the course where by it intends to combine modelling and simulation aspects of a real system which includes formulation of equations from first principle, estimating the relevant parameters, casting it all in the state space formulati...

A case study showed that DGA as diagnostic tool in determining the conditions of the oil and insulation by analysing the moisture content, water, dielectric strength and released gases. The use of DGA in conjunction with other electrical tests enhances the diagnosis of failure and can able to locate...

This report detail a high level design undertaken for a mix of renewable resources site of an assumed area of 750km2 in the Eastern Cape with a ground flash density of 10 flashes/ km2/year in a sandy and loose soil with average resistivity of 1225Ωm which was found to cause mild corrosion effect o...

As wind farms penetration in power systems has now becoming an increasing source of energy, and thus progressively conventional power plants are replaced or operated at lower limits, the respective power system operators are concern about the stability and reliability of their power systems. Therefo...

This report describes an investigation into the issues associated with the application of line arresters on the power transmission network rated at 132kV up to 765kV and also the specification of line arresters including how the specification of line arresters differs from the specification of surge...

Nowadays, the HVDC is being widely used all around the world. Until as of late HVDC based thyristors, which is called conventional or classic HVDC has been used for conversion from AC to DC and vice versa. HVDC converter bridges together with lines or cables can be arranged in a number of configurat...

The design for this project will be, limited to, 88kV “Substation F” with 4 x 88kV line bays with loop-in loop-out configuration on an 88kV sectionalised single tubular busbar and 3 x 88kV feeder bays for the customer. The project will also include the design of 88kV, 3.6km overhead line between...
