GA for enhancement of system performance by DG incorporated with D-STATCOM in distribution power networks

This paper presents the enhancement of voltage profile using distributed generation (DG) incorporated with distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) with different load models (DLMs) such as constant power, constant current, constant impedance, composite and reference load models in distribution power networks by using genetic algorithm (GA) from minimization of total real power loss of the system. In this paper, considered the different size of D-STATCOM such as −50 to +50 MVAR, −75 to +75 MVAR, −100 to +100 MVAR, −125 to +125 MVAR and −150 to +150 MVAR are taken for evaluation of voltage profile of the system buses. The proposed methodology illustrated for IEEE-75 bus test system. This work is very useful for researchers and scientific persons in conjunction with enhancement of voltage profile using distributed generation (DG) incorporated with distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) with different load models in distribution power networks. Keywords: Distributed Generation (DG), Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM), Power Flow Analysis, Genetic Algorithm (GA), Distribution Power Network

An Empirical Analysis of Resource Productivity of Wheat in Eastern Tarai Region of Nepal

ABSTRACT Different types of resource conservation technology (RCT) in wheat cultivation have been recently introduced and use of seed cum fertilizer zero till drill machine is one of them which was used in eastern terai region in wheat season of 2006/2007. A survey was carried out to study the productivity of wheat and compare the production between traditional and RCT method of cultivation. Altogether 31 farmers were interviewed with semi-structured questionnaires. Model used to estimate the productivity for both the methods was significant (p < 0.01) which explained 96 and 97 per cent variation due to independent variables under study in wheat production of traditional and RCT method, respectively. Farmers used 160 kg seed/ha in traditional method while in RCT method it was 122 kg/ha. Similarly, they applied 148 and 137 kg nutrients as a total of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash in traditional and RCT method, respectively. Average production of wheat grain in traditional and RCT method was 2456 and 2714 kg/ha giving average gross margin of Rs 16750.00 and Rs 23301.00/ha, respectively. This revealed 10 per cent reduction in total costs and 29 per cent increase in return by RCT method
