Concept of ATC Loss Calculation (By Jayant Sinha‚ DGM (IT)) In absence of feeder metering in the past‚ substantial portion of T&D loss‚ including theft of electricity was attributed to agricultural consumption. While‚ agricultural consumption was around 20-25%‚ utilities were showing it as 35-40% and correspondingly T&D losses were shown as 20-25%. Also‚ T&D loss was being computed by showing electricity bills issued to consumers as accrued income‚ and not on the basis of actual collection. Therefore

Electricity‚ being referred to as one of the primary agents of technological progress (Boylestad‚ 2002)‚ plays a vital role in securing the stability and mobility of the modern civilization in which many societies exist. Through simple observation‚ one can clearly say that electricity‚ indeed‚ lies through almost every aspect of human life in the present-day era‚ and that it has‚ in many levels‚ constantly revolutionized the way things are in the world as people know it.

ABSTRACT Capacitance measurement is of immense importance in the field of electronics. An instrument that measures capacitance to accuracy better than 0.5% has been improvised and rendered auto-ranging by means of an 89c51 circuit. The principle is that of a “direct” or fundamental principle of the time constant of the component. For e.g.‚ the time taken to charge a capacitor to 50% of the applied voltage is given by 0.5 V = V (1- exp (-t/τ) ) The value of t is determined as 0.69314718τ. Knowing

mapping of the activity in human brain. Electric Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT) were used to measure electrical signals generated from human brain activity and reconstruct volumetric image of the brain signal in real time. ECVT is a method for determination of the dielectric permittivity distribution in the interior of an object from external capacitance measurements. It predicts the permittivity distribution of an unknown medium based on capacitance measurement between sensor electrodes. Regarding

Measurement of Capacitance using Arduino – An Interrupt-based Approach: Part I SAIKAT PATRA‚ SHIBENDU MAHATA Introduction Capacitive sensors are widely employed to measure various physical and chemical process parameters such as displacement‚ acceleration‚ thickness‚ force‚ pressure‚ stress‚ level‚ and humidity. The measured value of capacitance is then calibrated in terms of the process parameter for indication and/or control applications. This project presents an interrupt-based approach by

pseudocapacitors‚ part of a new type of electrochemical capacitors[1] called supercapacitors‚ also known as ultracapacitors. Supercapacitors do not have a conventional solid dielectric. The capacitance value of an electrochemical capacitor is determined by two storage principles: Double-layer capacitance – electrostatic storage of the electrical energy achieved by separation of charge in a Helmholtz double layer at the interface between the surface of a conductor electrode and an electrolytic

power. The characteristics of the capacitors‚ i.e. the voltage it can withstand‚ material it is made up of etc. are what generally define the ability or the potential of a capacitor. Capacitance is what is generally used for the measurement of the ability of a capacitor to store electrical energy. Higher the capacitance‚ better it is. Depending on the characteristics‚ these capacitors can be classified into different types. And some of the most common types of conductors are discussed below. Ceramic
