Solutions to power quality problems at Kandana water supply scheme

Attanayake, UN [Thesis-Full-text]

Quality of the power supply becomes a key issue in plant automation. Especially, voltage sags appearing on the electricity supply cause voltage sensitive equipment to shut down and incur heavy financial losses to Industrial ...
Power electronics starter for wound rotor induction motors

Soysa, WHID [Thesis-Full-text]

Being the workhorse, induction motors are serving the industry. Mostly we can see squirrel cage motors, but when it's come to the large industries, wound rotor induction motors are also there. Applications like Mills, Large ...
Fault diagonosis by vibration analysis of synchronous generators

Ediriweera, SH [Thesis-Full-text]

All machinery with moving parts generates mechanical forces during their normal operation As mechanical condition of machine changes because of wear, changes in operating environment, load variations etc., so do these ...
Probabilistic approach to fix the overhead line power transfer limits, with effective wind cooling

Kumara, DMJR [Thesis-Full-text]

Open distribution line access and economic uncertainties are the reasons why many utilities are operating their lines at much higher loads than they were initially designed for. Because of this, the effects of higher ...
Vision based target tracking gun turret
