Summary

Providing reliable electricity is an enormously complex technical challenge, it involves:

Real-time
time assessment, control and coordination of electricity production at a great
number of generators, moving electricity across an interconnected network of
transmission
mission lines, and ultimately delivering the electricity to millions of customers by
means of a distribution network. That requires: trained and skilled operators,
sophisticated computers and communications, careful planning and design, and
deployment of supporting
upporting technological equipment and devices, e.g., reactive power
compensation, power electronics-based
electronics based controllers, wide area monitoring, etc.
The talk will touch base of some of the technical challenges and technological
opportunities aiming at increased
increased transmission capacity, improved controllability and
reliability.

Summary
During the last few decades, the profession of electrical engineering has changed enormously in three
areas: boundaries of the EE discipline, industry expectations from our graduates, and learning modalities
of the new generation of students.
The electrical engineering discipline has expanded rapidly and is now encompassing a large number of
fields such as medicine, chemistry, biology, math as well as all other engineering disciplines. With such a
wide expansion, it is now hard to identify the boundaries of the electrical engineering discipline.
Consequently, it is hard for universities to identify the core electrical engineering curriculum, and it is
indeed impossible to cover a core that
hat takes into account all new are as in a 4 year curriculum.
From the industry viewpoint, because of the dramatic and irreversible changes in engineering practice, the
skills required from the engineers in the 21-century
21 are substantially different from those required decades
ago. This is mainly because a large number of new corporations are reorganized around a limited number
of specific products (deregulated utilities), rather than a wide plethora of products (GE model). Also,
because companies can and do change focus, they demand flexible education. It is realistic to assume that
most of our graduates will be working in smaller organizations with narrow focus, which demands that
most engineers possess what is known as the “essential 10” skills.
From the teaching perspective, universities must examine and modify their educational pedagogy and
delivery. Although classical teaching techniques were effective in the past, they may not be successful
with today’s generation of engineering students. The students are now intrigued by high tech toys which
make them more responsive to challenges and quick to react. These are great skills. However,
unfortunately, the same technology has produced a class of students that are impatient, must always be
entertained, more difficult to concentrate, easier for them to memorize than to learn and have weaker
engineering judgments with false sense of achievement. It would seem that multi-media
multi media education on the
low level learning (knowledge, comprehension and application) and the the high level learning (analysis,
evaluation and synthesis) will be successful with today’s students.

Fahmy Bendary1, and Kamel Elserafi2

ABSTRACT
In this paper, two non-model
non model based trajectory tracking controllers for
simple open chain rigid robot manipulator are investigated. The first is a
Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivative (FOPID) controller tuned
using genetic algorithm (GA). This controller is used as a reference
benchmark. The results of the second controller which is a classical
Proportional Integral Derivative (PID)) tuned using genetic algorithm (GA)
will be compared with the reference benchmark controller. A simulation is
carried
ied out for the first three joints of robot arm (PUMA560) that aims to
track a quintic polynomial trajectory with minimum errors, and good
disturbance rejection. Simulation results, show that using the FOPID
provide better steady state error and less RMS errorerror than the PID tuned
using GA. The two controllers were tested by simulation under the same
conditions using SIMULINK under MATLAB2013a.

Keywords ABSTRACT
Multilevel Inverter, Power system quality is one of the major concerns in the present era. The

One of those devices is the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), which is one
of the most efficient and effective modern custom power devices used in
power distribution networks due to its relatively low cost and small si size,
also it has a fast dynamic response. In this paper, a DVR based on the nine
level cascaded H-bridge
H bridge multilevel inverter with multicarrier modulation is
proposed. As a result, the proposed DVR has lower number of switches in
comparison with other multilevel inverter based DVR topologies Also, it
has lower loss and cost due to no need for injection transformers. As
simulation results using MATLAB with its Simulink and SimPower
System (SPS) toolboxes will show, the proposed DVR can compensate for

ABSTRACT
A novel approach to simulate particle trajectories in roll roll-type corona-
electrostatic separators and to enhance the computation precision of non non-

of genetic algorithms (GA) and the charge

the simulating charges and their locations in order to eliminate dependency
on the user judgment and experience. Accurate results for the electric field
computation, compared with COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2a, based on finite

separator. The numerical analysis of the electric field and the
computation of the charge carried by two different type of particles,

minimizing either the maximum over shoot and steady steady-state error or the

that the performance of genetic PID controller based on third cost function

Summary
Reactive power (MVAr) is an associate power component to real power (MW) in
alternating current grid. It is the power that determines the behavior and performance of
transmission voltages as function of the real power transferred and delivered to connected
loads. Inadequate reactive power support may lead to lower voltages, which may result in
voltage instability and voltage collapse. Managing and controlling
controlling reactive power, both
capacitive and inductive power, ensuring the right balance, results in, not only, increased
transmission capacity and power transfer capability of transmission system of electric
grid, but also, improved quality and reliability of
o power delivery.
The tutorial will give an overview of reactive power in alternating current grid, its
function, and how it can be managed to improve the controllability, capacity, and
reliability of electric grids.

Cleaning Efficiency of live Line washing Using
Helicopter And Portable Washing System
Bahaa Abdalla Arafa1

ABSTRACT
Live line washing is a technique used for doing maintenance in electrical
systems without cut off the power of consumers.

Exposed insulators are subject to surface dirt deposition to some degree in

all operating areas. Most commonly encountered contaminants have little
effect on insulator performance as long as the surface is dry. Fog, mist, or
light rain usually creates the condition that produces a conducting film on
the dirty insulator surface without washing the impurities from the surface.

The method used for insulator cleaning is dependent on the insulator

material, construction, whether or not the line is energized, and on the type
of contaminant to be removed.

A comparison study has been carried out in this paper to investigate the
cleaning
ing efficiency of live line washing using two commonly methods
used;; helicopter and portable washing systems.

Keywords ABSTRACT

The Wiener filter works in the frequency domain. The discrete time Fourier
transform and the inverse discrete time Fourier transform are used to switch
between time domain to frequency domain and back words. The
computational time is related to the number of elements in the time domain
matrices. The computational time is optimized by using only two points for
each time domain vector. The motor speed controller

techniques used the harmonic content of the inrush current to diffrentiate it from
internal fault events. These techniques became unreliable due to the development in
modern transformers’ core materials which resulted in the reduction of harmonic
contents. Other recent research focused on the application of the wavelet
techniques, used as a pre-processor
pre processor to Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) or
working alone. Those techniques are sensitive to noisenoise and other signal disturbances
and they require a long data frame. In order to develop an intelligent differential
protection scheme for the power transformers, this paper proposes an ANN based
pattern recognition technique to diffrentiate between fault and inrush conditions.
Load flow analysis is performed on an IEEE 14 bus system in the DigSilent
Software environment for the different operating scenarios. The proposed ANN
structure is trained using load flow data set for different operation scenarios ththrough
the feed-forward
feed forward optimization algorithm. The advantage of the proposed technique
is that, it does not depend on equivalent circuit of the transformer or its harmonic
contents of the differential relay currents, but it makes a decision based on the
current

to change the predefined settings in the numerical programmable relays. With the
help of these new settings the differential protection scheme of the power
transformer can avoid the tripping of the differential relays in case of inrush
conditions, leading to a more reliable performance of the power systems.

the performance of the DTC and V/F control schemes are compared under
different operating conditions. In spite of its simplicity, V/F control has

ABSTRACT
Linear induction motors have been used in many linear direct drive
applications. In this paper, the control of linear induction motor speed and
current based on sliding mode controller is presented. Sliding mode
controller has many advantages such as fast transient response and
robustness against system parametric variations and unknown external
disturbances. Total sliding mode control is designed to overcome the
reaching phase problem and chattering phenomen phenomenon. For speed and
primary current control of the linear induction motor, cascaded sliding
mode controllers are designed to obtain high performance. To investigate
the effectiveness of the proposed cascaded sliding mode controller,
simulation model is performed
performed using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The
performance of the proposed controller is compared with conventional PI PI-

transmission line losses and low voltage levels. An effective control of
reactive power improves voltage profile, reduces pow power losses and
improves overall system performance. In case of abnormal operations of
power systems, the transmission lines become over loaded and the voltage

One of the important FACTS devices is Thyristor Controlled Series

recent Meta heuristic optimization algorithms. Two modifications are
applied to

paper, solving the Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) problem

voltage, harmonic pollution, high investment cost, low efficiency, and low
reliability, current back flow, and mismatch between PV output and end
users' peak demand which hinder their widespread use. Moreover, variations
in solar irradiation can cause power fluctuation and voltage flicker, resulting
in undesirable effects on high penetrated PV systems in the power system.
On the other hand, PV systems can enhance the operation

by improving the voltage profile and by reducing the energy losses of

component sizing that can reliably satisfy isolated loads and communities.
The objective function is to minimize the annual cost of the plant while
taking
ing all constraints into consideration. Linear programming technique is
employed to solve the optimization problem because both the objective cost
function and the constraints are linear. By applying minor approximations,
the output powers of wind turbine and PV module were expressed as linear
functions of wind speed and solar radiation respectively. The linear
programming model determined the ratings of system components that
make up the microgrid. Impacts of integrating renewable energy on isolated
loads have also been determined. The proposed system has been tested on
microgrid of common size. The results have shown the ability of the
proposed model by reducing the carbon dioxide emission and the cost of
electricity by 70% and 80% respectively.

Based on the information from the operated protective relays and tripped
circuit breakers, the fault section estimation
estimation is first formulated as an
optimization problem. The ABC algorithm is a new metaheuristic,
population based optimization technique inspired by the intelligent
population-based
foraging behavior of the honeybee swarm. To ensure the validity of the
ABC algorithm, sample systems are examined with different test cases.
Furthermore, the results obtained by the proposed ABC algorithm ar are
compared with those obtained via other methods.

The results verify that the ABC algorithm is efficient and robust. The ABC
algorithm has only two parameters to be tuned. Therefore, the tunning of
the two parameters towards the optimum values has a higher probability of

ABSTRACT
New and renewable
energies, Solar power, As part of the trend towards a clean environment, states have begun to turn
Photovoltaic modules, to new and renewable energies. Solar energy is one of the most important
solar arrays. of these energies especially in cities and areas ,which far from the grid, that
have high temperatures and interference under the solar belt. Egypt is one
of the Sunbelt countries that enjoy one of the largest potentials of solar
energy applications. From 1991 to 2005, a solar atlas for Egypt was issued,
concluding that the direct solar radiation intensity rang
ranges between 1900 and
2800 Kwh/m2/y. The sunshine duration ranges between 99-11 h/day with
very few cloudy days. For this, our aim from this paper is to installed solar
Photovoltaic (PV) arrays throughout Egypt and calculates the electric
energy and power thatthat can be generated in Egypt from solar energy.
Finally, we will try to find the optimal electric and technical design for
these arrays. Therefore, we will divide Egypt into several areas and study
the ability to connect each area with grid or use it as an isolated area and
this will be with different types of modules. Finally, we will develop the
solar map of Egypt to a new one includes average temperature, irradiance
from sun, power and energy from each module, power and energy from the
total area, number of modules and the economics of each areaarea.

ABSTRACT
Energy--related
related concerns about conventional resources include the depletion of fossil
fuel, an imaginary increase in oil prices, the global warming effect caused by
pollutant emission from traditional energy sources, and the increase in the power
demand. These items have resulted in the current remarkable growth of RE industries.
Renewable Energy (RE) sources include solar, geothermal, wind, biomass, ocean and
hydroelectric energy.
energy. In particular, both PV and wind energy are considered to be
leading technologies with respect to electrical power generation. Photovoltaic (PV)
generation has gained significant interest from both utilities and customers. Such
system may cover the consumer's
consumer's own power demand and reduce electricity bills,
while feeding any surplus power into the grid or use the grid as a backup system in
time of insufficient PV generation. PV systems can enhance the operation of power
systems by improving the voltage profile
profile and by reducing the energy losses of
distribution networks, the maintenance costs, and the loading of transformer tap
changers during peak hours. On contradictory PV systems have adverse effects to the
network, such as overloading of the feeders. Harmonic

cost, low efficiency, and low reliability. Moreover, variations in solar irradiation can
cause power fluctuation and voltage flicker, resulting in undesirable effects on high
penetrated PV systems in power system. Recent advances
advances in PV technologies have
brought very promising options for the utilization of renewable solar energy systems.
The installation of PV systems at non-optimal
non optimal places has several uncertainties and
this may cause operational problems. The optimal placem placement and sizing of PV
systems in distribution networks is a complex optimization problem. The size and the
peak power of the PV system, the rated power and short circuit power of the grid are
important parameters to evaluate the PV influence on the grid, al all of them related to
the PV penetration level. The constraint boundaries factors for PV plant are maximum
penetration and average length between two PV location and cost. The objective of
this paper is to describe the factors affecting distribution network
networks connected PV
systems and the planning of EDCs for installing PV systems.

standards required. To connect the generated power from renewable energy
sources to the grid, a voltage source inverter (VSI) is used to convert power
from DC to AC. AC. The output of the inverter usually has high order
harmonics around its switching frequency. A filter has to be connected to
the output of the inverter to reduce these harmonics before connection to
the grid. This paper presents the design of Inductor

filter (LCL filter) for harmonic filtering. Although the use of an LCL filter
has provides good reduction of harmonics, it produces resonance around its
resonant frequency which reduces the power quality delivered to the grid.
Active damping
damping methods are used in this paper to reduce the LCL filter
resonance. Three different methods of active damping are simulated using
MATLAB/SIMULINK software and their results are compared.

schedule was performed under two different energy flow control strategies:
1) The battery energy has been released to the grid, during the daytime,
only up to a predefined value of the state of charge in case A, 2) The
battery is allowed to discharge its energy on peak hours, even up to the
minimum charge state in case B.

Simulation results show that, proper sizing the battery used in grid grid-

battery degradation cost. Comparing both cases in one for one tariff

financial benefits compared to case A, when incentive were given in feed in
