Abstract — Development of electrical power supplies began more than one hundred years ago. At the beginning, there were only small DC networks within narrow local boundaries, which were able to cover the direct needs of industrial plants by means of hydro energy. With an increasing demand on energy and the construction of large generation units, typically built at remote locations from the load centres, the technology changed from DC to AC. Power to be transmitted, voltage levels and transmission distances increased. FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) and HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) are controllable devices whose functions are to enhance the security, capacity and flexibility of power transmission systems. Application of these components in power systems implies an improvement of transient and voltage stability, power oscillation damping and optimal power flow. DC transmission and FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) has developed to a viable technique with high power ratings since the 60s. From the first small DC and AC "mini networks", there are now systems transmitting 3 - 4 GW over large distances with only one bipolar DC transmission: 1.000 - 2.000 km or more are feasible with overhead lines. With submarine cables, transmission levels of up to 600 – 800 MW over distances of nearly 300 km have already been attained, and cable transmission lengths of up to 1.300 km are in the planning stage. As a multiterminal system, HVDC

    In the 19th century, the electrical revolution, which was sweeping the rest of the developed world, looked set to bypass Ireland. Only a few selected locations around the country had this incredible new power source 'on tap'. However, thanks to the determination of a handful of far-sighted people, electricity was soon to take its first tentative steps towards becoming the ubiquitous and indispensable power source it has proved to be.…

    DC faced a sharp decline after the ‘war’ but has made a comeback since then (Lantero 3). This may be attributable to the invention of semiconductors and their ability to limit the voltage of a DC system (Abengoa 2). A study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows that more appliances run on DC energy than what was previously thought (Fairley 1). AC is more prevalent but DC is the main source of power for emergency generators and the product of renewable energy sources (Fairley 1).…

    However, the great disadvantage of using DC for electricity distribution was that it could only be generated and distributed at the voltages at which it was used by consumers, meaning that currents in conductors were hefty, resulting in huge and expensive energy losses over distances more than one or two kilometres. Thus, many power stations and an unattractive abundance of wires to carry the required current were needed in order to supply electricity to a large city.…

    By using alternating current society is now able to transmit power far greater distances than was previously possible with direct current. Without alternating current many residential and rural homes and facilities would be without power. Electricity would also be much more expensive than it is today due to this limited range. Induction motors provide certain advantages over direct current motors. While DC motors are used in small appliances, AC motors provide much more power. These motors are used in large electrical equipment that requires copious amounts of power. Additionally, alternating current can be transformed into current from voltage or voltage from current much easier than direct current (“The Nikola Tesla”). By using alternating current a simple transformer is all that is needed to transfer the AC into usable direct current at the power lines near homes. Undeniably, the creation of alternating current has benefited the world…

    Solar plants are often built in remote areas, with deserts being the ideal location based on sunlight and potential for mass energy production. That being said, electricity produced in such a region requires long distance Transport. By means of transformers, energy loss over this vast distance can be minimized. It is important to maximize voltage, but within reason as to not overwork wires or mediating energy stations, to avoid energy losses.…

    Chopper Fed Dc Motor

    During the nineteenth century, when power supply was dc, dc motors were used extensively to draw power direct from the dc source. The motor speed could be varied by adjusting field current by a rheostat. That was an open loop control. Most of the drives were constant speed and the characteristics could not be matched with a job requirement. A vast development in the dc drives system took place when the ward Leonard Control System was introduced in the 1980s. The system was motor-generator system to deliver power to the drive motor. The supply power available was still dc and dc motor was used to drive the dc generator set at a more or less constant speed. Afterwards when the ac power system came into existence and became popular, ac motors were developed and became attractive owing to their constructional simplicity, ruggedness and lower initial as well as maintenance cost. Machine requiring variable speed drives use the ward Leonard System employing ac motors driving dc motors at a constant speed. In the 1950s electronic came into existence and brought about remarkable improvement in the speed control system. The open- loop manual control system was replaced by close loop feedback control, which resulted in improved response and better accuracy. Initially, gas diodes and ignitrons were developed and ac to dc converters were used to control dc motors.…
