Solar energy is the most viable energy resource available. With the help of Photovoltaic panels, sun energy is directly converted into electrical energy. In this paper, a remote rural area is considered. Bat optimization technique is implemented to optimize the number of photovoltaic modules and number of battery banks to fulfil the load demand of village; and the goal is to reduce the overall cost of the hybrid system

As such the numbers of IGs in a power system are increasing hence posing power quality problems. When large numbers of IGs are switched on or switched off from a circuit give rise to transients in the power system. In this paper authors tried to explore the effect of machine parameters on starting transients thereby making an effort to control these transients by controlling the machine parameters.

Battery banks are considered as a backup power source. The total value of cost is reduced by meeting energy demand required by the customers. Bat optimization technique is implemented to optimize wind and battery modules. Wind and battery banks are considered as primary sources and diesel generator as a secondary power source for the system

To improve the power quality of wind generation system a wind-diesel hybrid system is proposed in this paper. The power quality of the system is improved by controlling the excitation and input power of the synchronous generator. The PID controller is used in input power controller. A new optimization technique i.e. bacteria foraging optimization to optimize the PID controller gains is used to improve the power quality of the proposed system.

The deterioration of the power quality may cause unwanted losses in the system, poor efficiency, interference with the communication lines, and faulty operation of devices and even may cause fault in some devices. In this paper the power quality issue because of the presence of non-linear load connected to the electric grid is discussed and an effort has been made to improve the power quality of the system using a device known as Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). For this the intelligent controlled UPQC is developed and used with the Grid supply connected to the Non-linear load and percentage Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of voltage and current waveforms is measured in order to determine the power quality at different locations in the system. The intelligent controlled method has been found to have superior performance over the conventional Proportional Integral (PI) controlled UPQC. The results obtained verified using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

Punjab state is one of the major agriculture production state of India which has great biomass availability through the whole year. More than 40Mt/y has been generated as agri-waste in the state. The present study estimates the power potential of biomass in district Roopnagar of Punjab including Paddy straw as well as different type of crops which are grown in the district and can be used for power generation. Availability of unused agricultural biomass evaluated in present study is 944354.040 tones, which shows that the total potential available in Roopnagar district for data collected for 2014 is 246.184MW.

The distribution reforms are identified as the base area to bring about the efficiency and to improve financial health of the power sector. The factors entitled for power losses can be squarely devoured by amorphous magnetic alloy core transformer which proves beneficial by increasing advantage of fundamental frequency, statistically substantiated in this paper. So the impresa to cover the gap between need and supply rests in energy efficient products & sustentation of energy which is blue print for "POWER FOR ALL IN 2017".

A statistical review was done to collect the data on various power quality issues like voltage variations, frequency variations, harmonics distortion, transients, flicker etc arising with the increased use of induction generators in the power system.
