  3. RESEARCH PROJECTS IN PROGRESS • Power Systems, Renewable Energy & Environmental Simulation With 294 TWh of industrial scale hydro electricity resources and an enormous potential for small scale hydro electricity production for rural and remote area electrification, Cameroon is still a country with very low access rates to electricity. At the present time, only 7639 GWh a year of this potential is being produced to serve a population of 20 million not to mention export possibilities. Present research effort is directed towards the following: • Generation and Network Expansion Planning • Electricity for Rural Electrification from Renewable Energy Sources • Water Resource Modelling and Management • Load Forecasting • Electricity Markets (very recent addition) • Analysis of Transients in Networks Several long-, medium- and short-term generation planning software packages are being tested or nearing final development. Systems dynamics methods are being introduced in modelling water flows for use in developing large hydro plants and low voltage networks based on renewable energy sources.

  8. DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSMISSION ON ELECTRIC POWER LINES The power waveform is modified after a defined duration , after the zero-crossing. Technology demonstrated for transmission of signals for controlling (i.e. turning of and on) of devices connected to low voltage (220 V ) electric network and for remote meter reading. In the Voltage suppression After zero-crossing (VSZC) technology, a bit “1” is assumed transmitted when suppression occurs and bit “0” when there is no suppression. Suppression time , is a critical parameter which determines the spectral distribution of the power signal and determines the error probability performance of the system.

  9. VOLTAGE SUPPRESSION AFTER ZERO-CROSSING (VSZC) TECHNOLOGY In VSZC technology, a bit “1” is assumed transmitted when suppression occurs and a bit “0” when there is no suppression. Suppression time , is a critical parameter which determines the spectral distribution of the power signal and determines the error probability performance of the system Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004 J.M. Ngundam

  10. MATHEMATICAL MODEL Modified signal: f(t) = AoSin (ωot) u(t), (1) where u(t) is the unit step function defined as:   1 t > 0 (2) u(t) =  0 t < 0 Without loss of generality, we analyse a single half period of the signal by adding an identical wave shifted version by T/2 (i.e. f(t) + f(t+T/2) to obtain. f1(t) = f(t) + f(t+T/2) = Ao Sin(ot)u(t) +AoSin(o(t-T/2)u(t-T/2) (3) Third US-Africa Research and Education Collaboration Workshop Abuja, Nigeria, December 13-15, 2004 J.M. Ngundam

  11. MATHEMATICAL MODEL CONTINUED fTrans(t) = Ao Sin(ot)u(t - ) +AoSin(o(t-T/2)u(t-T/2) (4) where ftrans(t) is the information signal propagated down the line. Modification power signal results in harmonics which alter the supplied energy is altered. The energy of the modified signal is given by [1], as Em = A2o (T/4) [ 1 - 2/T + 1/(o T) Sin(2o ) ] (5) Higher harmonics do not appear at suppression. Optimum value of the suppression time is obtained from :   1 - 2/T + 1/(o T) Sin(2o )  0 (6) An iterative solution of (6) gives 1.2 <  < 2.55 (7) In this technology, a value of  = 1.6 ms was used. This value of also satisfied the utility energy supply because it does not drop to less than 90% of the generated value.

  13. ERROR PROBABILITY CONSIDERATIONS Transmission error is crucial to the success of the technology. Let the transmission of bits “1” and “0” as:   S1(t) = Ao Sin(ot)u(t - ) +AoSin(o(t-T/2)u(t-T/2) (8)   S0(t) = Ao Sin(ot)u(t) +AoSin(o(t-T/2)u(t-T/2) (9) The probability performance of the system in terms of the error function Q(*), is given as:  Q() = Q{(Ev/No (2 - Sin(2) / (4 - 2 + Sin()}1/2 (10) where Ev is the average signal energy and No is obtained from the noise waveform possesing a Gaussian probability density function and a double –sided power spectral density.
