Item type:Publication, Classification of Capacitor Bank Switching Using Fuzzy Interference Systems in 230 kV Substation(2024-01-01) ;Patcharoen, Theerasak; ; ; Lertwanitrot, PraikanokFlexible AC transmission systems are used for enhancing the stability, transmission efficiency, and reliability of AC grids. Additionally, the most cost-effective devices for compensating reactive power are Mechanically Switched Capacitors (MSCs). This study proposes a novel algorithm for detection and capacitor bank switching transient signals in MSC, to prevent the protective relay maloperation by these transients. The Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used for effective time-frequency analysis and detection of measured three-phase current signals. DWT extracts the detailed wavelet coefficients of current signals at levels 1 to 30. In addition, the fuzzy inference system (FIS) has been used to determine the type of switching transient. The proposed combination of FIS and DWT has been tested on 230 kV substation and the result demonstrated precision for the identification and classification of both transient signals in MSC with 88% accuracy rate. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Impact of Wind Power Generation Sizing on the Characteristic of Distribution System Under Fault Condition(2022-01-01); ;Leelajindakrairerk, Monthon; ; Songsukthawan, PanapongIn the recent decade, there has been a rising concern in energy consumption and environmental issues. This trend has shifted the electric authority to focus from fossil fuel to renewable energy. The distributed generation (DG) using a renewable energy source has been raising. The presence of DG can cause using renewable energy sources to cause a technical issue on system protection and operation. This paper aims to study the impact of different DG size installations on the distribution system in terms of the system characteristics. The study is done in both normal conditions and in cases of fault occurrence. The system using in this research is a 22-kV distribution system consists of Wind Power Generation as the DG connected into the distribution line that modeled after part of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) in the northern part of Thailand. The simulation was done using PSCAD software. The result from simulation reveals the impact of DG on the distribution system characteristics in terms of significant change in the measured current and voltage signal. Thus, the analysis of the impact of DG on the system must be done to ensure the reliability of the power system. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Study on Installation of Neutral Ground Resistance in Very Small Power Plant Transformer(2022-01-01) ;Chiradeja, Pathomthat; ;Srisuksai, Panu; Faults in the distribution system of the Thai electrical system occur frequently. Such faults directly affect the protective equipment of the distribution system. The protective device disconnects the circuit unnecessarily on many occasions because it detects a higher current than expected. In this study, a 22-kV distribution system and a very small power plant (VSPP) were connected. The system consists of two feeders. Feeder 1 supplies electricity directly to the load; a fault was enforced in this feeder. Feeder 2 supplies electricity directly to the load; the VSPP was connected to this feeder. The fault in Feeder 1 was simulated, and the behavior of the defense system was studied. Unnecessary disconnection of the VSPP circuit took place because the high fault current caused the overcurrent protection relay to operate instantaneously. Therefore, a neutral ground resistance was installed at the VSPP transformer to reduce the fault current, extend the relay operating time to the delay range, and reduce unnecessary disconnections of the overcurrent protection relay of the VSPP. In addition, when a fault occurs in the distribution system, the faulted phase voltage decreases, whereas the non-faulted phase voltage increases. Surge arresters and voltage transformers must be able to withstand an increase in voltage. This is also explained and discussed in this paper. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Combining Fuzzy Logic and Discrete Wavelet Transform for Accurate Fault and Inrush Current Classification in High Voltage Capacitor Banks(2024-01-01) ;Songsukthawan, Panapong ;Patcharoen, Theerasak; ; The high voltage capacitor bank is a critical component in substations, essential for maintaining power quality and system stability. However, these banks are susceptible to faults and inrush currents, posing significant operational challenges. This paper presents a method for accurately classifying fault and inrush currents in high voltage capacitor banks using Fuzzy Logic and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The DWT decomposes current waveforms into frequency components, enabling the extraction of features that characterize faults and inrush currents. These features are processed by a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), which classifies the events based on predefined rules and membership functions. The integration of DWT and FIS provides a robust framework for distinguishing between different types of faults and inrush currents with high accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed method's efficacy, showing improved performance in classification accuracy and noise robustness compared to traditional techniques. This research enhances monitoring and protection systems in power networks, ensuring more reliable operation of high voltage capacitor banks. Implementing this method allows for better fault management and minimized downtime, leading to improved overall system efficiency and stability. - 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, The study of harmonic reduction in Light Emitting Diode (LED) roadway lighting system(2016-07-25); Since electrical energy is essential in human life, it is necessary to find out a way to reduce its consumption. In the past, in Thailand, they had to provide much energy to roadway lighting system because main lighting equipment has consumed high energy to generate lighting in the roadway. But today, we are increasingly aware of energy consumption. As a result, Light Emitting Diode (LED) luminaires are considered to be used in roadway lighting system, to replace conventional inefficient lighting lamps; this is due to their greater energy efficiency, high color rendering index (CRI) (70-90), and long life. However, LED luminaires have some disadvantages concerning harmonic generation issued from LED's driver. Hence, in this paper, LED luminaire will be studied in terms of power quality improvement by using AC-side Inductor Harmonic Filter. An experimental setup will be designed to measure the electrical parameters. The experimental results show that, without the filter, LED luminaire contains much harmonic current distortion (THDi), but when inserting the filter, the harmonic current distortion is decreased. However, to ensure the overall functioning of the system, the final results of harmonic current distortion should be complied with the limit value of IEC 61000-3-2 standard. - 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, Estimation of Power Consumption in Screw Gas Compressor Installed on Natural Gas Power Plant(2025-01-01); ; The knowledge of the precise power consumption of screw gas compressors, which is the highest power requirement when compared with other equipment used in natural gas power plants, can be an indicator of energy efficiency in natural gas power plants and impact the construction cost of the project. This paper proposed a calculation method for the estimated power requirement of the screw gas compressor and verified the calculation model with data from two different natural gas power plants. The verification methodology has been done by comparing the result with the obtained power from the unit during 11 operation scenarios. The result has indicated that the proposed calculation model can achieve an error less than 5% on all of operation scenarios. Thus, the proposed estimation model can be used to simplify the calculation process for the power requirement of a screw gas compressor. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Energy Harvesting from Railway-Induced Vibrations Using Piezoelectric Nanogrid Systems(2025-01-01); ;Songsukthawan, Panapong; ;Bunjongjit, SuleeThis paper investigates the feasibility of piezoelectric nanogrid systems designed to harvest mechanical energy from vibrations induced by passing trains. Two membrane-based piezoelectric module mounting configurations - sleeper-mounted at a 5 cm offset from the rail, and recessed side-mounted - were rigorously analyzed using Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations for structural durability and energy-harvesting performance. Realistic excitation waveforms, synthesized from FEM modal characteristics combined with actual field measurement data, were employed in detailed MATLAB/Simulink electrical simulations. Results demonstrated a superior electrical current output from the side-mounted configuration (2.2839 A) compared to the sleeper-mounted arrangement (1.30195 A). A practical assessment revealed that only 9 side-mounted or 16 sleeper-mounted modules are necessary to effectively charge a standard 12V 20Ah LiFePO4 battery. Moreover, daily accumulated energy of approximately 68-70 Wh could reliably power essential low-power devices at railway stations, confirming the proposed piezoelectric nanogrid system's viability as a robust, efficient, and scalable energy-harvesting solution.
