    An electrical transmission line can be modelled as a two-port network (also called a quadrupole network), In the simplest case, the network is assumed to be linear (i.e. the complex voltage across either port is proportional to the complex current flowing into it when there are no reflections), and the two ports are assumed to be interchangeable.…

    Wind energy is intermittent by its nature; it is very consistent on an annual basis but varies significantly over shorter time scales and as a result it is necessary to have flexible back up generation sources on standby to cover any sudden drops or increases in its output which adds significant cost to the running of a stable electricity grid (Kessides and Wade 2011) (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015). This is because of instantaneous electrical generation and the consumption must remain balanced at all times to ensure grid stability, this variability creates substantial challenges when a large amount of wind energy is integrated into an electrical grid (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015). Transmission networks currently deal with outages of conventional power plants and instantaneous changes of electrical demand by compensating with reserve capacity (Zugno and Conejo 2015). The variability of renewable power sources such as wind power, are unlike those of conventional power generation plants but can be partially compensated for in the same way (Chao et al. 2015).…

    The lab begins with describing that most our time in network analysis deal with linear circuit. In order to analyze the circuit, we have to know the characteristic of the nonlinear element and the characteristic of the circuit at the points where nonlinear elements are connected. The characteristics of a device are described as voltage vs. current. The devise must be experimentally determined by either the manufacturer or determined experimentally by a user.…

    In a society where almost everyone over the age of thirteen carries a cell phone many school systems have banned these items from school grounds. Why? Many say it's due to the 'potential problems', such as texting during classes. Others say it is because they interrupt the learning environment. Whatever the reason the school boards give, should cell phones be allowed at school?…

    Kirchhoff's Current Law

    • 297 Words
    • 1 Page

    The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that at any node in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that node is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that node. The algebraic sum of currents in a network of conductors meeting at a point is zero. The law is based on the conservation of charge where the charge is the product of the current and the time. Kirchhoff's Current Law is valid if the charge density remains constant at the point to which it is applied. More generally, Kirchhoff's Current Law remains valid if the total electric charge in the investigated region remains constant with time.…

    For an overhead transmission system the atmospheric air, which is the dielectric medium, behaves practically like a perfect insulator when the potential difference between the conductors is small. As long as the air is subjected to uniform electric field intensity, the flow of current between the two conductors of the line is negligibly small.…

    The current flowing through a load resistance RL connected across any two terminals A and B of a linear, active bilateral network is given by VOC || (Ri + RL) where VOC is the open-circuit voltage (i.e. voltage across the two terminals when RL is removed) and Ri is the internal resistance of the network as viewed back into the open-circuited network from terminals A and B with all voltage sources replaced by their internal resistance (if any) and current sources by infinite resistance.…
