◊ Definition :
◊ Effects :
▪ What are the effects of power outage?
▪ Power outages bring production lines to an abrupt halt. This may translate into loss
of material, breakdown of machinery, and loss of productive time. This may also
cause supply chains to shut down altogether.

▪ Subject 2 HVDC ,( High Voltage DC ) ▪
◊ Definition :
▪ The system which uses the direct current for the transmission of the power
such type of system is called HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) system .
▪ The HVDC system is less expensive and has minimum losses.
▪ It transmits the power between the unsynchronized AC system.

▪ Subject 3 ( Smart Grid ) ▪
◊ Definition :
▪ A smart grid is an electricity network based on digital technology that is used to supply
electricity to consumers via two-way digital communication.
▪ This system allows for monitoring, analysis, control and communication within the supply
chain to help improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and cost, and maximize the
transparency and reliability of the energy supply chain.
▪The smart grid was introduced with the aim of overcoming the weaknesses of conventional
electrical grids by using smart net meters.

▪ Subject 4 ( Synchronization ) ▪
◊ Definition :
In an alternating current electric power system, synchronization is the process of matching the
speed and frequency of a generator or other source to a running network. ... If two segments of a
grid are disconnected, they cannot exchange AC power again until they are brought back into
exact synchronization.
◊ Applications :
Synchronizing lamps :
Formerly, three light bulbs were connected between the generator terminals and the system
terminals (or more generally, to the terminals of instrument transformers connected to
generator and system). As the generator speed changes, the lights will flicker at the beat
frequency proportional to the difference between generator frequency and system frequency.
When the voltage at the generator is opposite to the system voltage (either ahead or behind
in phase), the lamps will be bright. When the voltage at the generator matches the system
voltage, the lights will be dark. At that instant, the circuit breaker connecting the generator to
the system may be closed and the generator will then stay in synchronism with the system.
Synchroscope :
Another manual method of synchronization relies on observing an instrument called a
"synchroscope", which displays the relative frequencies of system and generator. The pointer
of the synchroscope will indicate "fast" or "slow" speed of the generator with respect to the
system. To minimize the transient current when the generator circuit breaker is closed, usual
practice is to initiate the close as the needle slowly approaches the in-phase point. An error of
a few electrical degrees between system and generator will result in a momentary inrush and
abrupt speed change of the generator.

▪ Subject 5 ( Corona ) ▪
▪ However, when the applied voltage exceeds a certain value, called critical
disruptive voltage, the conductors are surrounded by a faint violet glow called
corona.
▪ The higher the voltage is raised, the larger and higher the luminous envelope
becomes, and greater are the sound, the power loss and the radio noise. If the
applied voltage is increased to breakdown value, a flash-over will occur between the
conductors due to the breakdown of air insulation.

◊ Corona effect or corona discharge in transmission lines
and power system may be defined as:
The phenomenon of violet glow, hissing noise and production of ozone gas in an
overhead transmission line is known as corona

▪ Subject 6 ( Skin Effect ) ▪
◊ Definition :
▪ Skin effect is a behavior or tendency of alternating current to flow through the
surface (outer layer) of a conductor instead of the core of the wire in power system
transmission lines.
▪In this scenario, the current density is lager near the surface of the wire or conductor
and decreases with greater depths in the conductor which leads to increase in
resistance of the conductor, thus increase the overall power loss in the power system
(generally transmission lines).
