Lightning - Each bolt can contain up to one billion volts of electricity - Electrical discharge is caused by an imbalance between positive and negative charges in the atmosphere - Colliding particles of rain‚ ice‚ or snow increase this imbalance and often negatively charge the lower reaches of storm clouds - Objects on the ground‚ like steeples‚ trees‚ and the Earth itself‚ become positively charged - A step-like series of negative charges‚ called a stepped leader‚ works

transformer at different load conditions: Thus‚ the different losses fall in to two categories Constant losses (mainly voltage dependent) and Variable losses (current dependent). The expression for the efficiency of the transformer operating at a fractional load “x” of its rating‚ at a load power factor of Cosθ2‚ can be written as ……… (1) Here S in the volt ampere rating of the transformer (V2‚ I2 at full load)‚ Pconst being Constant losses and Pvar the variable losses at full load. Pvar = (IFL)2

1. Characteristic Loads-Characteristics‚ Importance‚ Applications Actions By E.C. An action (F) is a force (load) applied to the structure (direct action ) or an imposed deformation ( indirect action ) ex. Temperature effects. Actions are classified: a) by variation in time permanent actions G ( self-weight of structure). b) by their spatial variations: fixed actions ( self weight ) variable actions Q wind loads/snow. free actions which results in different actions accidental actions

Load Balancing in Cellular Network through Cell Breathing network structure being much dispersed‚ mobile AbstractIn cellular network‚ teletraffic continues to grow at a proliferating rate. Thus existing networks often encounter undesirable phenomenon like call drop due to overloading of cells. To overcome this problem‚ this thesis aims to perform load balancing using the technique of cell breathing in a novel way. Unlike previous works on cell breathing‚ where the radius of the overloaded cell was

we call Electricity. Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is both a basic part of nature and one of our most widely used forms of energy. It is actually a secondary energy source‚ also referred to as an energy carrier. That means that we get electricity from the conversion of other sources of energy‚ such as coal‚ nuclear‚ or solar energy. These are called primary sources. The energy sources we use to make electricity can be renewable or non-renewable‚ but electricity itself

suffering from severe load shedding. A systematic load management procedure related to demand side may improve the situation. The major objectives served by this article are to analyze contemporary electricity status with a view to drawing inference about demand supply gap and extracting benefits from load management. Data supplied by the Bangladesh Power Development Board and World Bank are analyzed. Analysis discloses that with properly managed uses of electricity with load switch and rotational

Electricity Crisis (Load shedding) in Nepal INTRODUCTION Nepal is being ravaged by the electricity crisis. The electricity crisis of this millennium began in 2006. Nepal saw the last electricity crisis of the last millennium in 1999 and‚ with the commissioning of Khimti project in 2000‚ there was no load shedding through till 2005. Nepal was grappling with the problem of flood in the first week of August 2008‚ with resultant loss of life and limb as well as property in the hilly areas and

Electricity Crisis in Nepal “Not a day goes by without a few hours of power cuts. Load shedding has now become a perennial problem and it is here to stay." The story of power position in Nepal is that of highest potential and lowest consumption. The electricity demand in Nepal is increasing by about 10 percent every year and close to 40 percent of the approximate Nepalese population has access to electricity so far. The main load centre is the central zone which includes the Kathmandu Valley. Nepal
