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, Design and application of daylight-based lighting controller on LED luminaire(2020-05-01) ;Bunjongjit, Sulee; ; ; Patcharoen, TheerasakThis paper proposes a control circuit for Light Emitting Diode (LED) luminaire based on the amount of daylight. This system uses both natural daylight and artificial light from a luminaire to reach the desired illuminance on a working plane. The control circuit operates by receiving an illuminance value from a light sensor and comparing it with a set value in the microcontroller before limiting the light intensity of LED by sending a control Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal to the LED driver. In the experimental setup, the controller and a physical model of a working space were built in order to field test the LED daylight control circuit. Electrical characteristics such as voltage, current, and power were measured with a power meter. Illumination characteristics in terms of illuminance on a working plane were determined using a lux meter. The results from actual field tests revealed that this LED control circuit was able to reduce the power consumption of the lighting system while keeping the illuminance on the working plane at the standard value. Both simulation results and the actual experiment of the control circuit proved that it could be used to improve the energy efficiency of both newly installed and retrofitted lighting systems. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Evaluation of Light-Emitting Diode Luminaire For Two-Lanes Roadway Lighting System(2024-01-01) ;Wannapasert, Padungsak; Lighting systems for roadways are an important aspect of the transportation system in terms of safety and providing comfort for drivers. Conventional lighting systems use high-pressure sodium luminaires, which consume a lot of energy. This paper proposes an evaluation of roadway lighting using lightemitting diodes (LEDs) as luminaires. The paper uses a two-lane road as a case study and simulates the lighting parameters using DIALux software. The case study varies the wattage of the luminaires, pole distances, and pole arrangements, while keeping the pole specifications fixed. The parameters under consideration include illuminance, luminance, and uniformity on the road surface. Additionally, the results are compared with international criteria standards to confirm that the selected LED luminaires can provide the necessary lighting quality for road usage. The results show that LED luminaires can provide lighting quality within standard criteria. However, different pole arrangements require different levels of wattage and pole distances. Therefore, the selection of LEDs needs to match the design of pole distances and arrangements to provide sufficient roadway lighting. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Development and Analysis of a Fast-Charge EV-Charging Station Model for Power Quality Assessment in Distribution Systems(2025-09-01) ;Chiradeja, Pathomthat; ;Srisuksai, Panu ;Klomjit, JittiphongWith the rapid rise in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, the deployment of EV charging infrastructure—particularly fast-charging stations—has expanded significantly to meet growing energy demands. While fast charging offers the advantage of reduced charging time and improved user convenience, it imposes considerable stress on existing power distribution systems due to its high power and current requirements. This study investigated the impact of EV fast charging on power quality within Thailand’s distribution network, emphasizing compliance with accepted standards such as IEEE Std 519-2014. We developed a control-oriented EV-charging station model in power systems computer-aided design and electromagnetic transients, including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC), which integrates grid-side vector control with DC fast-charging (CC/CV) behavior. Active/reactive power setpoints were mapped onto (Formula presented.) current references via Park’s transformation and regulated by proportional integral (PI) controllers with sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) to command the voltage source converter (VSC) switches. The model enabled dynamic studies across battery state-of-charge and staggered charging schedules while monitoring voltage, current, and total harmonic distortion (THD) at both transformer sides, charger AC terminals, and DC adapters. Across all scenarios, the developed control achieved grid-current THDi of <5% and voltage THD of <1.5%, thereby meeting IEEE 519-2014 limits. These quantitative results show that the proposed, implementation-ready approach maintains acceptable power quality under diverse fast-charging patterns and provides actionable guidance for planning and scaling EV fast-charging infrastructure in Thailand’s urban networks. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Comparative Fault Detection Between DWT and STFT in Overcurrent Relays(2024-01-01) ;Chiradeja, Pathomthat; ;Lertwanitrot, Praikanok; This study proposes a protection relay using a microcontroller to detect and classify faults in transmission lines based on the Wavelet transform. An experimental model was constructed from an actual 115 kV transmission system prototype. The current signal was observed based on the fault type, phase, and position. Clark's transform and the discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) were applied to transform signals for analysis. The positive and zero sequences obtained from Clark's transform were used for fault detection and fault classification, respectively. Moreover, the performances between the DWT and the short-time Fourier Transform (STFT) were compared in terms of accuracy and processing time. In addition, the double-detection technique was used to confirm the accuracy of fault detection. Results show that the proposed method is efficient for fault detection and classification. This finding allows the researcher to choose the appropriate analytical method. Moreover, it can also be used as the basis for overcurrent relay algorithm design in the effort to develop more advanced technologies. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Analysis of Investment Feasibility for EV Charging Stations in Residential Buildings(2025-09-01) ;Chiradeja, Pathomthat; ;Sottiyaphai, Chayanut; Klomjit, JittiphongThis study investigates the financial and operational feasibility of deploying electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure within high-density residential buildings, utilizing empirical operational data combined with comprehensive financial modeling. A 14-day monitoring period conducted at a residential complex comprising 958 units revealed distinct charging behaviors, with demand peaking during weekday evenings between 19:00 and 22:00 and displaying more dispersed yet lower overall utilization during weekends. Energy efficiency emerged as a significant operational constraint, as standby power consumption contributed substantially to total energy losses. Specifically, while total energy consumption reached 248.342 kW, only 138.24 kW were directly delivered to users, underscoring the necessity for energy-efficient hardware and intelligent load management systems to minimize idle consumption. The financial analysis identified pricing as the most critical determinant of project viability. Under current cost structures, financial break-even was attainable only at a profit margin of 0.2286 USD (8 THB) per kWh, while lower margins resulted in persistent financial deficits. Sensitivity analysis further demonstrated the considerable vulnerability of the project’s financial performance to small fluctuations in profit share and utilization rate. A 10% reduction in either parameter entirely eliminated the project’s ability to reach payback, while variations in energy costs, capital expenditures (CAPEX), and operational expenditures (OPEX) exerted comparatively limited influence. These findings emphasize the importance of precise demand forecasting, adaptive pricing strategies, and proactive government intervention to mitigate financial risks associated with residential EV charging deployment. Policy measures such as capital subsidies, technical regulations, and transparent pricing frameworks are essential to incentivize private sector investment and support sustainable expansion of EV infrastructure in residential sectors. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reduction of Impact from Voltage Sags During Faults in Distribution System by Installing Neutral Grounding Resistor(2025-01-01) ;Phannil, Natthanon; This research focuses on a small power producer operating a cogeneration power plant that utilizes natural gas as fuel to generate electricity. The plant, with a capacity of 90 MW, supplies both electricity and steam to industrial customers within a designated industrial zone. Power is delivered to four feeder industrial customers and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) at voltage levels of 115 kV and 22 kV. The five customers connected to Feeder 4 at 22 kV experienced voltage sags caused by short circuits in the distribution system. These sags had a significant impact on their production processes, as the machinery in their factories is interdependent and requires high-quality power to function properly. Certain machines, being highly sensitive to voltage fluctuations, stop operating if the voltage drops outside their acceptable range. This disrupts the production process, as the halted machinery must undergo recovery and restart procedures, which are time-consuming. Consequently, this downtime leads to delays and lost revenue opportunities for the affected customers. This issue is a significant concern for factories in industrial estates. Therefore, to address this problem, this research focuses on studying methods to mitigate the impact of voltage sags by installing a Neutral Grounding Resistor (NGR). The study simulates the distribution system during a single line to ground fault. This research examines the effects of voltage sags to inform the design of NGR installations, including investment and cost-effectiveness for resistances of 0, 6, 13, 19 and 26 ohms. Simultaneously, the study also investigates the potential for voltage swell in the distribution system due to the installation of the NGR. The study is conducted using MATLAB Simulink simulations. The findings suggest that installing an NGR with a resistance of 13 ohms is the optimal choice, offering optimal voltage sag, voltage swell, and fault current performance. The budget for the NGR installation by a contractor is approximately 1,000,000 THB, while the total cost for replacing the surge arresters in the system would be 135,000 THB. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

As population increase, urban area has been grown rapidly resulted in increased energy consumption in every section including lighting system. With the current attention in energy and environment issue, many governments have set policy to increase energy efficiency. In lighting system, conventional luminaire with low energy efficiency has been replaced with newer technology with low energy consumption and high energy efficiency such as light emitting diode (LED). Today, LED luminaire has taken considerable proportion of market share; however, the main concern regarding changing conventional lamp toward LED is power quality. This paper aims to study power quality issue in term of generated harmonics from lighting system consisting of LED lamps. The result indicates that LED lamps generate significant amount of current harmonic and cause a distortion in waveform. Thus, it needs taking power quality issue into account before replacing or installing LED into lighting system.
