The paper presents a methodology to estimate the rotor angle of synchronous generator by using measurements from phasor measurement units (PMUs). Based on available measurements, an observer for damper currents is designed. Using observed currents, known machine parameters, and PMU stator reactances are estimated during transients following disturbance. These updated then used find generator. Application proposed method test power system shows promising results.

The paper gives the analysis of extending implementation Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchical protocol from 2D plane to 3D space in wireless sensor network, having various nodes spread a particular geographical area or region for collecting application specific data. comparison has been shown between homogeneous LEACH and space, emphasizing on node observed three dimensions, which is more suitable practical scenarios. Keywords: plane, Cube, Dead node, Hexagon, Network lifetime.

Underwater sensor networks are gaining prominence in various applications of underwater monitoring and resource explorations. The minimum energy routing algorithms [2] implemented oil topologies already use wired where all nodes behave as coordinator, except the PAN coordinator. This may increase depletion battery energy, cost network deployment. paper evaluates QoS square-grid topology with four different orientations nodes. result will aid selecting a particular orientation based on...
