Item type:Publication, Transient Analysis to Distinguish Mechanically Switched Capacitors Using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Artificial Intelligence(2026-01-01) ;Thongsuk, Surakit ;Bunjongjit, Sulee; ; Capacitor banks are widely used in modern power systems for reactive power compensation and voltage regulation. However, switching operations of mechanically switched capacitors (MSCs) can generate transient phenomena, such as inrush currents, which may resemble fault currents and lead to misoperation of protection systems. Therefore, accurate detection and classification of transient events are essential for reliable system operation. This study proposes a hybrid approach for transient signal analysis and classification by integrating the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including probabilistic neural networks and fuzzy inference systems (FIS). The DWT performs time–frequency analysis to extract multi-scale wavelet features from three-phase current signals. The proposed method enables both discrimination between inrush and fault currents and multi-class classification of transient events among six capacitor switching conditions, namely base case, pre-insertion resistor, pre-insertion inductor, current limiting reactor, 6% reactor, and synchronous closing. The methodology is validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulations under isolated and back-to-back capacitor switching scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed DWT–AI approach achieves high classification accuracy exceeding 95%, outperforming conventional methods based on DWT alone and DWT combined with FIS. Furthermore, the proposed method improves protection system performance by reducing false tripping caused by transient inrush currents, while maintaining reliable fault detection capability. The findings confirm that integrating time–frequency signal processing with AI-based classification provides an effective and practical solution for transient event discrimination in MSC capacitor bank systems. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Voltage Drop Improvement for Distribution Systems Using High Voltage Capacitor Based-on 1/2kvar Technique(2022-01-01) ;Patcharoen, Theerasak ;Kotesakha, Wikorn; ;Thongsuk, SurakitSeewirote, BunchaIn this paper proposed the voltage drop improvement on distribution system with high voltage (HV) capacitors simply technique using PSCAD/EMTDC software. Considering, the HV capacitor placement techniques to improve voltage drop on the distribution system such as front load and 1/2kVar techniques are compared with base case (without the capacitor installation). The sizing and position of using HV capacitors are investigated and analyzed with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) voltage regulation standard. Furthermore, the switching voltage transient occurred during each step of HV capacitor switching to the distribution system is also analyzed. The results claim that the voltage drop depends on HV capacitors placement that could be improved the voltage profile on distribution system as 5% increasing. Additionally, the transient voltage of each technique is hard to summarize, as it is reliable upon the sizing of HV capacitor switching in each step. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, An Approach for Voltage Drop Improvement in Distribution Line Using High-Voltage Capacitor Bank(2025-01-01) ;Songsukthawan, Panapong; ;Thongsuk, Surakit ;Phannil, NatthanonBunjongjit, SuleeDistribution line voltage drops cause power losses and a general decline in the efficiency of the electrical power system. In this study, PSCAD software is used to evaluate the elements that impact the voltage drop in the distribution line, including distribution line length, electric load power factor, and electric load capacity, both with and without capacitor bank installation. The 22-kV overhead distribution line in Thailand served as the basis for the simulation model’s creation. It has been suggested to install capacitor bank-based techniques to increase voltage on distribution lines. The findings show that the voltage drop is significantly influenced by the distribution line distance, electric load power factor, and electric load capacity. The voltage drop can be minimized to the greatest extent by properly arranging capacitor banks. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Application of probabilistic neural networks using high-frequency components’ differential current for transformer protection schemes to discriminate between external faults and internal winding faults in power transformers(2021-11-01) ;Chiradeja, Pathomthat; ;Phannil, Nattanon; Leelajindakrairerk, MonthonInternal and external faults in a power transformer are discriminated in this paper using an algorithm based on a combination of a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and a probabilistic neural network (PNN). DWT decomposes high-frequency fault components using the maximum coefficients of a 1/4 cycle DWT as input patterns for the training process in a decision algorithm. A division algorithm between a zero sequence of post-fault differential current waveforms and the differential current coefficient in the 1/4 cycle DWT is used to detect the maximum ratio and faults. The simulation system uses various study cases based on Thailand’s electricity transmission and distribution systems. The simulation results demonstrated that the PNN and BPNN are effectively implemented and perform fault detection with satisfactory accuracy. However, the PNN method is most suitable for detecting internal and external faults, and the maximum coefficient algorithm is the most effective in detecting the fault. This study will be useful in differential protection for power transformers. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Evaluation of the Climate Influence on the Thermal Characteristics of Residential Buildings in Thailand(2026-01-01) ;Lertwanitrot, Praikanok ;Thongsuk, Surakit; ; An increasing population causes more energy demand, resulting in an increased rate of electricity production. Thus, increasing the electricity production rate wastes more fuel resources. These limited resources are depleted if not used properly. Therefore, energy conservation is an essential point that we should be aware of. In addition, weather and geography are significant factors that directly affect the energy consumption rate. Fundamentally, cold regions use more energy for heating, while tropical areas use more energy for air conditioning. Therefore, if the energy used for these fundamental needs can be saved, it will effectively reduce the overall rate of energy use. Consequently, environmental factors that affect energy consumption, such as wind flow direction, building orientation, and pressure, were observed. The observation was done by simulating in a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) program. At the same time, an energy-saving method is also proposed in this paper. The results showed that the proposed method can reduce the energy consumption rate, which is beneficial for the development of energy management systems in the future. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, An approach for voltage drop improvement in 22 kV PEA distribution system based on high voltage capacitor placement(2023-10-01) ;Thongsuk, Surakit; ;Kotesakha, Wikorn ;Leelajindakrairerk, MonthonThe distribution system has been constantly expanded with rising load demand due to population and economic growth. The result is a distribution line facing a voltage drop issue voltage drop, which results from increasing interconnected load and the distance from the substation. To mitigate this issue, this paper proposed an approach to improve the voltage level on the distribution line using a high-voltage capacitor bank. The system under study is modeled after the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) 22-kV distribution line. The placement of the high voltage capacitor bank will be based on the 2/3 rule technique. The PSCAD/EMTDC has been used to simulate the characteristics of the case study distribution system and evaluate the performance of the proposed technique in comparison with the PEA voltage regulation standard. The result has demonstrated the ability to use the proposed high voltage capacitor bank placement technique to improve voltage levels in the distribution system. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Downtime Reduction with Fast Restart Function in a Beverage Production System(2023-01-01); ;Phannil, Natthanon; ;Thongsuk, SurakitBunjongjit, SuleeBottled-beverage production systems require considerable machinery and sophisticated control systems. A malfunction in the production system can result in machine stoppages, thereby decreasing productivity and resulting in the production output not meeting the required target. Therefore, the problem of frequent stoppages of the production system must be resolved. The ‘Fast Restart Function’ is a proposed feature that can help reduce machine downtime by decreasing the time required for the product to drain from the conveyor. In this study, using this strategy, the investigated manufacturing system’s efficiency increased from 86.81% to 90.29%, enabling an increase in the average production capacity by 27,187 bottles per day, i.e., a 3.48 percent increment of the daily capacity. When employed in inefficient production systems or systems facing frequent shutdowns, this system is of considerable value for mitigating production stoppages. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of Multi-wind Distributed Generators Location during Fault Occurrence in Distribution System(2023-01-01) ;Thongsuk, Surakit; ; In the recent decade, there has been a rising concern about energy consumption and environmental issues. This trend has shifted the focus of electric utility from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Thus, distributed generation (DG) that generated power from renewable energy sources has been on the rise. However, the presence of DG can affect the operation of power system protection and may cause a technical issue with the equipment. So, this paper investigates the impacts of wind power-based DG installed on the distribution system in Thailand using PSCAD software. The case study system is modeled after part of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) distribution network in Northern Thailand. The comparative study with the case without DG has also been done on various parameters such as type of faults, location, and number of DG. The result from a study reveals the impact of DG on the distribution system characteristics, which changing drastically. Thus, an analysis of the impact of DG on the system must be done to address its effects and ensure the reliability of the power system. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Impact of Building Envelope Materials on Energy Usage and Performance of Evaporative Cooling System in Residential Building(2024-08-01) ;Thongsuk, Surakit ;Songsukthawan, Panapong ;Lertwanitrot, Praikanok; A large proportion of building energy consumption in tropical countries like Thailand primarily comes from air conditioning systems used to maintain the comfort level of building occupants. This paper aims to evaluate the performance of an alternative cooling system based on the evaporative principle in terms of thermal characteristics and energy consumption. A simulation model using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS version 16.0 and an actual experimental setup at the laboratory level were built to verify the results of the proposed cooling system. Additionally, factors that influence performance, such as components of the building envelope and the building’s orientation, are considered. This research aims to demonstrate the impact of building envelope material and building characteristics on the energy usage in air conditioning systems and to propose an energy-efficient cooling system. The results demonstrate that the proposed cooling system can reduce the temperature inside the building. However, the characteristics of the building also affect the energy performance. Thus, the proposed cooling system, in combination with an efficient envelope material, can achieve energy savings of around 35–43%. Therefore, a combination of the proposed cooling system and optimal building design can ensure comfort for building occupants while saving energy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Investigation and Study of High Voltage Capacitor Bank Techniques for Voltage Drop Improvement in 22-kV Distribution Line(2025-01-01) ;Thongsuk, Surakit ;Lertwanitrot, Praikanok ;Songsukthawan, Panapong; Voltage drop in distribution lines contributes to power losses, leading to a decrease in the overall efficiency of the electrical power system. In this paper, we investigate methods to improve voltage drop through capacitor bank allocation techniques, specifically installation at the end of the distribution line, the 1/2-kvar rule, and the 2/3-kvar rule. In the case study, a 22 kV overhead distribution line in Thailand is utilized as a model to analyze voltage drop improvement. The study is conducted using PSCAD software to simulate and evaluate the effectiveness of various capacitor bank allocation techniques in enhancing voltage drop in the distribution line. In addition, the impact of capacitor bank placement and sizing on voltage drop mitigation in a distribution line is analyzed through a proposed mathematical framework. This analysis considers the interaction between reactive current compensation and impedance of a distribution line, ensuring an optimized approach for capacitor bank deployment to enhance voltage drop. The results emphasize that the capacitor bank installation at the end of the distribution line yields the most substantial voltage drop improvement. This is attributed to the utilization of larger capacitor bank capacities compared to the 1/2-kvar and 2/3-kvar methods. Furthermore, the mathematical analysis confirms that both the placement and sizing of capacitor banks play a crucial role in voltage drop mitigation.
