Introduction

Power quality is an essential factor as far as performance of the electrical machines and equipment are concerned. Quality plays an integral role in ensuring reliability and satisfactory service by improving the transmission and distribution of electric power. In order to serve a huge section of the world with electrical power, quality is paramount in order to reduce losses during transmission and distribution. IEEE defines power quality as the deviation of current and voltage from the ideal to the actual realization. It factors in the concept of ensuring high standard powering and grounding of the electrical equipment for the ...

Metal handling is very significant for engineering processes. Metals possess unique properties that make them useful in engineering processes. As a result of these properties, metals are used in various construction processes such as building of bridges, houses, automobiles, machines and various kinds of structures. There are basics need to performed before processes as metals have to be joined, cut or even bent. This brings in a number of engineering practices as soldering, brazing, welding and even cutting. Plasma cutters leveraging high end technologies are used in cutting metals and joints can be joined using soldering, brazing or welding. Soldering, brazing ...

FOR ADDITIONAL POWER GENERATION

Introduction Power shortage in the globe has been one of the major problems our world is experiencing today. One solution to this crisis is through resorting to clean and renewable energy which lets us harness a source of energy that can replenish itself over and over again. Fossil fuels such as coals, diesel, oils, etc. are used worldwide in generating the energy the world needs such as electricity. Electricity is now one of the basic needs the world needs in order to function. Everybody needs electricity, in big industries up to small households, in lighting our light bulbs ...

The meridian plaza fire documents one of the most major high rise fires ever reported In the United States.
