To change the electrical power system from conventional system or existing system to micro grid one needs to check the performance of this system and analyze all parameters. Actually the power grid consists of three essentials parts that are generation, transmutation line and distributions system. Among all parts feeders, transformers and some of electronics parts are to improve the voltage drop or decrease the active power losses and interfaces between two systems. The main advantage of the micro grid is integration of the renewable energy recourses into the power grid through transmutation line or distribution system, but before integration one needs to check and evaluate all parameters of the system (cable, transformers, load flow, losses, etc.). and find out how to improve them . This paper consists of three parts: the first part is introduction about important parameters in the power grid, the Second part analyzes system from IEC standers by using MATLAB software and discuss on the result of these systems. as well as it involves an idea of how to improve it by using the Newton Raphson method. The third part is about power quality analysis and effect of the harmonics on the current and voltage wave form.

Optical Current Transformers (OCTs) and Optical Voltage Transformers (OVTs) are an alternative to the conventional transformers for protection and metering purposes with a much smaller footprint and weight. Their advantages were widely discussed in scientific and technical literature and commercial applications based on the well-known Faraday and Pockels effect. However, the literature is still scarce in studies evaluating the use of optical transformers for power quality purposes, an important issue of power system designed to analyze the various phenomena that cause power quality disturbances. In this paper, we constructed a temperature-independent prototype of an optical voltage transformer based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and piezoelectric ceramics (PZT), adequate to be used in field surveys at 13.8 kV distribution lines. The OVT was tested under several disturbances defined in IEEE standards that can occur in the electrical power system, especially short-duration voltage variations such as SAG, SWELL, and INTERRUPTION. The results demonstrated that the proposed OVT presents a dynamic response capable of satisfactorily measuring such disturbances and that it can be used as a power quality monitor for a 13.8 kV distribution system. Test on the proposed system concluded that it was capable to reproduce up to the 41st harmonic without significative distortion and impulsive surges up to 2.5 kHz. As an advantage, when compared with conventional systems to monitor power quality, the prototype can be remote-monitored, and therefore, be installed at strategic locations on distribution lines to be monitored kilometers away, without the need to be electrically powered.

Electric Power Distribution System is a complex network of electrical power system. Also, large number of lines on a distribution system experiences regular faults which lead to high value of current. Speedy and precise fault location plays a pivotal role in accelerating system restoration which is a need of modern day. Unlike transmission system which involves a simple connection, distribution system has a very complicated structure thereby making it a herculean task to design the network for computational analysis. In this paper, the authors have simulated IEEE 13- node distribution system using PSCAD which is an unbalanced system and current samples are generated at the substation end. A Fuzzy c-mean (FCM) and statistical based approach has been used. Samples are transformed as clusters by use of FCM and fed to Expectation- Maximization (EM) algorithm for classifying and locating faults in an unbalanced distribution system. Further, it is to be kept in mind that the combination has not been used for the above purpose as per the literature available till date.

Power quality issues have been a source of major concern in recent years due to extensive use of power electronic devices and non-linear loads in electrical power system and consequently sensitive detection and accurate classification of power disturbances have become very much necessary. To monitor electrical power quality disturbances, short time discrete Fourier transform (STFT) is most often used. But for non- stationary signals, the STFT does not track the signal dynamics properly due to the limitations of a fixed window width chosen a priori. This paper presents a new approach for power quality analysis using a modified wavelet transform, known as S–transform and the analysis of several power quality problems using both S–transform as well as discrete wavelet transform validates the superiority of S–transform.

The smart grid has been using more and more power electronic devices as an improvement to the current electrical power system along with plug-and-play integration of alternating sources of power. It has adopted the latest wired/wireless technologies incorporated into electric devices for timely information flow, control and on-demand interaction with customers. So, smart grid is reliable, efficient, and user as well as environment friendly. The grid keeps on getting smarter with better availability of new materials, storage systems, and alternative sources of energy. Though, this paper encompasses all sectors of smart grid, not limited to, smart transmission line, smart distribution generation, smart storage, smart communication, cyber security, and environment friendliness, it has demonstrated the wireless prototype of remote interaction between the consumers and the utility company. In countries like Nepal where power grid infrastructure is limited mostly to cities and energy supply is far below its demand, there is a great potential for energy market growth having minimal barriers to renewables.

Harmonics in the power system is not new issue. This phenomenon has been introduced by technocrat throughout in the history of electrical power system. Maintaining the power quality in a power system is an essential assignment due to increase in wide variety of non-linear loads. The current drawn by such non linear loads are non-sinusoidal and therefore contains harmonics. Therefore, it becomes necessary to compensate these unwanted harmonics for better performance of the system. In this paper, a review of compensations of harmonics in distribution system has been explained.

India’s electrical power system grid also known as the power grid is serving us from a very long time. In this duration, there were no major developments or changes reported in the power grid system. Electrical power consumer demand is increasing drastically and the present grid system is not able to fulfil these emerging requirements. To fulfil the requirements of future power load, we need a modified system which has to be reliable, secure, intelligent and efficient. By converting the power grid into the smart grid will be a promising solution for adopting the above properties. Communication Infrastructure is a major part of the smart grid. The end-user can reduce their expenditure on electricity demand by using smart home appliance, to keep away from the rush hours and also make use of the renewable energy instead from utility, is a great example of deployment of internet of things (IoT) in grid communication. In this paper, we have provided a survey of different communication technology, applications, benefits and challenges in communication infrastructure, spatially IoT.

Conventional methodology for electrical power generation is vulnerable due to environmental limitations and the availability of fuel. Distributed generation, offering virtuous benefits to the market partakers, is trending in electrical power system in modern era. This paper presents the distributed generation integration to grid with active power injection control. Distributed generation source delivers DC power which is processed through square wave inverter. Inverter circuit is controlled using a simple control technique to match grid code. Fixing the current reference and varying the same, analysis is carried out for grid integration scheme of distributed generation injecting active power to grid. Simulation work is carried out and results are shown using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
