Transient stability was detected as a threat in power system since 1920. In the earlier stage the problems were concerned with the far away situated generating unit supplying the load centers with long overhead transmission lines. The importance of this phenomenon was increased due to lots of blackouts. The industries were the most concerning with these kind of problem because interruption in the supply leads them into losses. It was one of the most dangerous problems on the system. As continue progress of the power system begins Instability of various kind, implementation of new technologies, tough operating condition have been developed. Power system stability had become a important topic in which voltage stability, inter area oscillation and frequency stability have more of concern. A deep understanding of different kinds of faults and their prone to unstable condition and how they are related to each other are very important to design and implementation of the power system. For analyzing power system stability, graphical methods like power circle diagram and equal area criterion ...
In the mid 18th century many different powers in Europe were trying to spread their influence and gain global power. However, this was not without difficulty. There were many regional issues that these powers needed to overcome such as economic complications, struggles with native and conquered peoples, and competing with other European powers.
“But alas! This is kind heart but had but a short time remain such. The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work. That cheerful eye, under the influences of slavery, soon became red with rage, that voice, made all of sweet accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord, and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon.” (Douglas 19) This is how Frederick Douglas describes the change in his former mistress, Sophia Auld, as slavery corrupted her whole way of life. From this excerpt we can see that people can change profoundly for the negative. The question is what could possess one to change so radically when given power over another human being.
On August 14th, 2003, a major blackout swept across portions of the northeastern United States and Canada. It was reported that a series of equipment outages in the Midwest led to uncontrolled cascading outages of power transmission lines and generators serving parts of the Northeast, Midwest and Canada. Automatic protective systems operated to open circuits and shut down power plants to prevent further spread of the outages. This is very similar to what happened in The Great Northeast Blackout of 1965. In both situations, the “grid system” shut down one generator in line at a time to protect a surge from the station before it.
“Ambition is an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth and the willingness to strive for its attainment”. That being said, what can one go through if their ambition is too much to handle? Anyone who gains excessive power often loses control of personal goals, morals, ethics, and values. Uncontrollable ambition conquers Macbeth in William Shakespeare's play.
‘The Castle’ is a film about Darryl Kerrigan and his family, who have their house mandatorily acquired by an airline and government coalition to use his land to expand an airport, but try to fight it through the legal system. The film portrays power in many different forms, such as family power, the power of the state and government institutions over the individual, and the power of an experienced, prestigious lawyer compared to that of a small-time, unknown one.
A community may be defined as a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests and goals. Although each and every community divaricates from the next, each holds a common base ground for tradition and standard. It is in fact tradition and standards of behavior that unify a community to implement a sense of stability. After all, stability is the inescapable quality that bonds a community as one. This imperative factor is in fact one that is investigated in a hopeless quest to find the true meaning of community and its gravitational pull of mankind. The assumption that a community, in essence, exudes a sense of stability may be refuted in three key limitations. Entrusting too much of one’s faith in tradition and community standards can lead to the ultimate dissolution of a community’s health. Furthermore, dwelling on the act of maintaining the tradition and standards of that community can lead to downfall of one’s own being, and individuality. At the cost of the community as a whole, proceeding to maintain these traditions and standards is in the least bit ideal, as values and traditions are ever evolving and most commonly outdated in future composition. In the excerpts of “A Wobegon Holiday Dinner” by Garrison Keillor, “The Amish Charter” by John Hostetler, and “It Takes a Tribe” by David Berreby, the limitations of the assumption that communities provide a sense of stability are refuted on the basis of tradition and social standards.

Power-control theory of crime combines Marxist conflict theory, social control theory and feminism and was theorized by Canadian criminologist, John Hagan. A prominent theme throughout the power-control theory is that social power in society is predominantly patriarchal, or male dominated.
The Main Theory Of Power A broad distinction can be made between two types of power: 1. Authority is power that is accepted as legitimate - e.g. the power of Parliament to pass laws in a society where citizens accept the political system. 2. Coercion is based upon the imposition of power using force, or the threat of force, against people who do not accept it as legitimate. Weber defines power as the ability of people to get their own way despite the opposition of others.
Electricity blackout is a shortage of an electric power or long term loss of the electric power in the particular area. Cause for an electricity blackout is in an electricity network, which includes faults at power stations, damage to electric transmission lines, substations or other parts of the distribution system, a short circuit or the overloading of electricity
Technology is changing so quickly that we are frequently using computers, software programs, and other technologies that have frustrating glitches and problems. Is there a solution?
The collected data include the transformer location, date and time, transformer failure duration, the disruptions in terms of power supply interruptions, protection accomplishment and transformer repair time etc. From the total failures of 196 units, the age of the population is in range of 2 to 30 years and the average age is 15 years. The number of failures of power transformers per voltage subpopulation during 2009-2013 and their total numbers are tabulated in Table 1. Table 2 shows the number of power transformer failure in various geographical zones during 2009-2013. The power transformer components based failures during 2009-2013 are shown in Table 3.
Chapter -2 What is off-grid and why? Definition. In general understanding off-grid power systems are those which provides electric power when and where nationalize power is not available or unavailable. The source of power may differ like solar, wind, biogas hydro-electric, diesel generators or combination of two or more mentioned above.
Even in places where generators are used to provide backup power, the UPS ensures that the loads are maintained during the short interval between the power failure and the time the generator comes up to power the load; - usually from several seconds to a few minutes.
Decentralization of energy system is process of dispersing energy or redistributing energy from central location. [1] Currently, in the world large centralized facilities provide final form of energy from primary energy sources, such as oil refineries and power plants. These plants distribute energy over long distances which effect the overall efficiency. Depending upon different factors like health, environmental and economic etc. energy production systems are built away from the cities or near to the cities. Decentralized energy system not only fulfill rural needs but also able to provide centralized energy production in urban areas. [2]
