    Abstract: Critical Clearing Time (CCT) is the largest possible time for which a power system is allowed to remain in fault condition without losing stability. Appropriate CCTs settings of protective equipments on power system greatly determine the reliability of power supply. This paper determines the CCTs for all the transmission lines in the Nigerian 24-bu... Show More

    Abstract: Uninterrupted electricity supply is the precondition of economic development of a country. Bangladesh has huge electrical power deficiency and to minimize this lagging, Government is importing 250 MW electrical power from India. India is itself an electricity deficiency country and has already relationship of trading with two south Asian countries,... Show More
