Improvement of Power Quality Considering Voltage Stability in Grid Connected System by FACTS Devices

Recently the wind power generation has attracted special interest and many wind power stations are being in service in the world. In the wind turbine that mostly uses induction generators, tend to drain large amounts of Vars from the grid, potentially causing low voltage and may be voltage stability problems for the utility owner, especially in the case of large load variation on distribution feeder. Voltage-source converter based various FACTS devices have been used for flexible power flow control, secure loading and damping of power system oscillations. Some of those are used also to improve transient and dynamic stability of the wind power generation (WPGS)

Ester functionalized hydrophobic task specific ionic liquid for Glaser coupling

963-968A new hydrophobic ester functionalized task specific ionic liquid has been synthesized and its application explored in the synthesis of conjugated 1,3-diynes through Glaser coupling of terminal alkynes. Terminal alkynes undergo oxidative-coupling smoothly in the presence of CuI-TEA catalytic system in hydrophobic ionic liquid under aerobic conditions to produce 1,3-diynes in excellent yields under mild conditions. The recovery and reusability of the catalyst is supported by the hydrophobic nature of the TSIL

An epidemiological study of addictive behavior pattern among adolescent tobacco users

Background: The risk of developing tobacco-related cancer and chronic heart and lung disease is greater if addiction starts in adolescence. Even experimental use of tobacco in adolescents significantly increases the risk of addiction in adulthood. This study intends to collect valuable data regarding sociodemographic characteristic of tobacco use, pattern of dependence among adolescent tobacco users, which will be essential for formulating recommendations, and their possible intervention aimed at reducing the problem of tobacco use. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was done where 400 subjects were enrolled. Nonprobability Snowball sampling technique was used to locate adolescents aged 12–18 years, who were practicing tobacco use. Face-to-face interviews were taken for data collection. Fragerstorm dependency test for tobacco was used to classify dependency of tobacco product into high and low dependency. Data was analyzed using Chi-square test and proportions using SPSS software version 21. Results: Majority of the subjects were in the age group of 16–18 years; mean age for initiation of tobacco was 15.6 years. Gutkha was the predominant form of tobacco product being used. Peer pressure 192 (48.0%) was the major reason for initiation of tobacco use. A significant association was found between dependency on tobacco and age, literacy, and socioeconomic status. Conclusions: Tobacco use starting from early age has many health implications. There is a need for stringent laws against the selling of tobacco to adolescents and targeted health awareness program against tobacco
