Details of the STTP: Preamble:

Department of Electrical Engineering, CGPIT has organized Short Term Training

Program on “Recent Trends on Power System” 12th -16th February, 2018 sponsored by Uka

Tarsadia University. Total 34 participants participated in this Training Program, which includes

B. Tech, M. Tech students from CGPIT and faculty members from CGPIT as well as from

other colleges. Out of which 13 students were from B. Tech final year, 16 students from M.

Tech final year participated and 05 faculty members.

The inauguration ceremony of STTP was started by UTU song followed by lamp

lighting and prayer to seek the blessings of almighty. As per tradition of CGPIT, all the

dignitaries were given a warm welcome and were felicitated to express respect and gratitude

towards them for devoting their valuable time and gracing the STTP. The dignitaries that

graced the inauguration ceremony of STTP were Dr. N. C. Shah (Director, CGPIT), Prof.

Rakesh Gajre (Head of EE/EC Dept.) and Dr. Prasanta Kundu (Assistant Professor, SVNIT,

Surat). Along with the dignitaries and experts were felicitated by the coordinators of the STTP.

The training programme was initiated by a small welcome address to the participants. Ms.

Karmani Rajput has given a brief introduction about the training programme. She introduced

the experts and expressed his views about the recent advances in power system.

The Honourable Director of CGPIT, Dr. N.C. Shah gave the welcome speech. He

motivated the students and faculties for participating in technical events like short term training

program, workshop, expert talk, etc. He also congratulated and appreciated the efforts made by

the Electrical department for organizing such STTP.

Session Details: All the sessions were very interactive and laid a very good impact on the audience.

Session-1: High Voltage

Session-2: VSC-HVDC

Session-3: Non - Destructive Testing Techniques for Electrical Equipment

Session-4: Power System Protection

Session-5: FACTS Devices

Session-6: Reactive Power Compensation and Series FACTS Devices

Session-7: Power Quality Issues& Power Factor

Session-8: Restructured Power System

Session-9: Load Dispatch Centre

• High Voltage

In this session, Dr. Prashant Kundu has discussed Partial Discharge (PD) Measurement

Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) in detail. In which he has discussed

Condition Monitoring, Defects in Insulation System, Electrode system and insulation

arrangement, Acoustic Partial Discharge Detection, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT),

Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT). Also, he has discussed Ultra High Frequency (UHF)

Monitoring Techniques in detail.

• VSC-HVDC

In this session, Dr. Pranav Darji has discussed Developments advance both the HVDC

power transmission and the flexible ac transmission system technologies. An overview of

the recent advances in the area of voltage-source converter (VSC) HVDC technology is

provided. Control and modeling methods are also discussed. A list of VSC-based HVDC

installations worldwide is included. The continuous development of power electronics

presents cost-effective opportunities for the utilities to exploit, and HVDC remains a key

technology. In particular, VSC-HVDC can address not only conventional network issues

such as bulk power transmission, asynchronous network interconnections, back-to-back ac

system linking, and voltage/stability.

• Non - Destructive Testing Techniques for Electrical Equipment

In this session Dr. S. C. Vora has discussed Maintenance Philosophy of electrical

equipments, Service Life of Electrical Apparatus, Condition Monitoring of Power

Transformer, Electrical Techniques for Monitoring and Diagnostics Chemical, New types

of Monitoring and Diagnostic Tools, overview of Frequency Response Analysis.

• Power System Protection

Power-system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the

protection of electrical power systems from faults through the isolation of faulted parts from

the rest of the electrical network. In this session Dr. Nilesh G. Chothani has discussed about

the testing of different power system equipments like circuit breakers, contactors, ELCB,

MCB etc., objective of a protection scheme is to keep the power system stable by isolating

only the components that are under fault, whilst leaving as much of the network as possible

still in operation.

• FACTS Devices

In the last two decades, power demand has increased substantially while the expansion of

power generation and transmission has been severely limited due to limited resources and

environmental restrictions. As a consequence, some transmission lines are heavily loaded

and the system stability becomes a power transfer-limiting factor. In this session Dr. H. R.

Jariwala has discussed about Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers, have

been mainly used for solving various power system steady state control problems. Flexible

AC transmission systems or FACTS are devices which allow the flexible and dynamic

control of power systems. Enhancement of system stability using FACTS controllers has

been investigated. Applications of FACTS to power system studies have also been

discussed.

• Reactive Power Compensation and Series FACTS Devices

In this session Dr. Chetan Kotwal has discussed world’s biggest FACTS (Flexible AC

Transmission System) project for Series Compensation. Where 2 FSCs are used to increase

transmission capacity and 2 TCSCs are used for power oscillation damping. He has also

discussed SSR (sub Synchronous Resonance) and series FACTS devices like Thyristor

Switched Series Compensator (TSSC), Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC),

Gate Controlled Series Compensator (GCSC), Static Synchronous Series Compensator

(SSSC).

• Power Quality Issues & Power Factor

In this session Dr. Naimish Zaveri explained term Power Quality, Harmonics and its

classification, sources of harmonics, Effects of Harmonics and Filtering solutions.

• Restructured Power System

In this session Dr. S. K. Joshi has discussed Structure of a Power System, Design, Operation

and Control of Power System, deregulation of system, Smart Transmission Networks,

dynamic equivalents for calculation of power system restoration.

• Load Dispatch Centre

The session was conducted by Er. N. D. Makwana. He has discussed about Load dispatch

centre in detail. Also, he has explained reliability of power and power economy.
