    To achieve an excellent grounding system, an alternative solution was developed by using enhancement material to modify the soil surrounding the rod. These materials can effectively reduce soil resistivity and grounding resistance for a better grounding system. To achieve this goal, the fundamental part must be taken into account. In this study, the main objective is to analyze different concrete orientations as enhancement material in the grounding system. A 3-D orientation of concrete has been designed using Finite Element Method (FEM) software to analyze the performance of the electric field in the grounding system with different orientation of concrete. Every orientation of concrete had been clarified into four different cases which are full concrete, half concrete, three-quarter concrete, and a quarter concrete. From the result, full concrete is the best orientation of concrete design to be employed at the grounding site as it has a low electric field compared to the other concrete orientation.

    In 2011 alone, Malaysia has spent a hefty RM14.5 billion in buying fossil fuels to generate electricity. With the cost of fossil fuels rising each year, the nation is looking to rely on more sustainable energy sources. One way to decrease the reliance on fossil fuel is to minimize electricity consumption or use renewable energy sources. This research tests if it is feasible to run the Swinburne campus with Solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. This study aims to design and implement a PV energy system to power Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak. The design of the PV system is performed with the collection of the solar irradiance in Kuching, load profile of the Campus and the area required to layout the panels. Block-E of Swinburne is chosen for the PV system since all Swinburne blocks together consume very high power and do not have the required area for the panels. A Grid-Tied system is considered for the PV design. MATLAB software is used to size the PV system. Economic analysis such as Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE), Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and payback period is studied for the PV system.

    Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading allows surplus energy to be traded between distributed energy resources (DER) and prosumers in the community microgrid. In Malaysia, P2P energy trading is still under development, where it is expected to be exclusively participated by commercial and industrial prosumers. This paper proposes how a motivational psychology framework can be used effectively to design P2P energy trading to increase user participation for residential prosumer. All the data such as power consumption and solar energy value are adjusted and modelled in such a way to facilitate the calculation of P2P energy trading in Malaysia. An auction-based P2P market clearing model is then proposed and solved by using the Linear Programming optimization approach. The numerical results show the sustainability and the potential of the proposed P2P energy trading model to attract residential customers to participate in energy trading.

    Time difference of arrival (TDOA) technique is one of many bases to determine lightning strike location employed in a lightning locating system (LLS). In this technique, at least four measurement sensors are required to correctly locate a lightning strike. Usage of fewer number of sensors will result in non-unique solutions to the generated hyperbolas, and hence wrong lightning strike point. This research aims to correctly determine the strike point even if only three measuring sensors are utilized. An artificial neural network (ANN) based algorithm was developed for a 400 km2 coverage area in Southern Malaysia using time of arrival data collected at the three measuring stations over a certain period. The Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is demonstrated to correctly identify the lightning strike coordinates with an average error of 350 m. The algorithm has helped the three-station TDOA-based LLS to successfully locate the lightning strike point with a remarkable accuracy comparable to that of commercial systems.

    Over the past centuries, discovery and utilization of fossil fuels has revolutionized the world pushing societies towards modernization. This source of energy that is being referred as black gold, has faced extensive consumption which consequently started to underpin the acceptance of the negative effects of our carbon society and its likely demise. Fossil fuels have costed the safety and overall health of our environment, causing serious consequences such as global warming and unsustainability. To this end, in the search for alternative generation, the potential of renewables was realized and hence, exploited in the energy sector. In recent times, development of efficient prime movers and possible utilization of renewable energy resources for both power and heat production introduced the concept of cogeneration to the energy sector. Accordingly, this comparative research elaborates on utilization of the most available and versatile renewable energy, biomass, in combined heat and power technology. There is no doubt that the integration of bioenergy and cogeneration is associated with significant advantages, namely: lower environmental impacts and primary energy savings. In this context, four different biomass-fueled configurations are developed for the purpose of electrifying the Masset village in Canada. Two well-known methods of: Direct Combustion and Gasification are considered in the model development. Further, a comparative conclusion is drawn from economic perspective.

    This paper proposed the modelling and simulation of generator protection for power system using digital reverse power relay. The operations of the power plant are often interrupted by the reverse power generation. Therefore, generators need to be closely monitored and controlled. In this study, 11 kV synchronous generators are connected to 220 kV load through a step-up transformer, and a new model of reverse power relay is added for generator protection. The reverse power relay proposed in this paper is a digital relay with high accuracy and high reacting speed. Several cases based on various types of mechanical inputs to the generator were studied to test the operation of the reverse power relay. This simulation was done using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the 11 kV generator protection is successful with this new model reverse power relay. Besides, the simulation results were similar result compared to the theory result. From the simulation results, the integral output of the relay will reach the threshold value 'L' whenever there is a reversed power flow fault found in the system. Consequently, the relay will be triggered to provide protection for the generator. This model has been added into online resources of MATLAB Power System Tools. In addition, this model may also help the engineers to develop the analytical skills under various conditions.

    The grounding system plays an important role in the electrical system part as it gives protection during fault or lightning occur. The main purpose of the grounding system is to protect humans, electrical appliances and buildings from electrical shock due to lightning or another form of electricity that hazardous. Thus, to install an excellent electrical system and complete its circuit, a grounding system performance must be taken into account. But, in certain cases, due to the geological condition, the soil resistivity is not good enough. Therefore, enhancement filler material has been used to reduce grounding resistance. In this project, it is aimed to elaborate on the usage of Coconut Husk, Paddy Husk, and Bentonite as grounding filler materials to reduce the soil resistivity and improves the grounding system. The result showed that Bentonite showed better performance compared to Coconut Husk and Paddy Husk.

    PD detection is an effective method of inspecting insulation defects and identifying potential faults in a power transformer. Electromagnetic waves generated due to PD can be detected by ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) sensor in the frequency band greater than 300 MHz. However, the size and the frequency bandwidth of a UHF sensor for PD detection are the concern for practical installation inside a transformer. High sensitivity and wide bandwidth of sensors are needed in order to detect the PD signal at an early stage. This paper presents an array with partial ground 4th order Hilbert fractal UHF sensor for PD detection inside a power transformer. This UHF sensor was modeled to capture PD signal in a range of frequencies between 300 MHz to 3 GHz. The sensor is designed by using CST software where the transmission lines combined 2 sensors become 1 output by setting the dimension of 100 x 200 mm for length and width with an FR4 epoxy substrate of thickness 1.6 mm. Based on the simulation result, the proposed sensor is obtained a PD signal measurement with a reflection coefficient below-10 dB with VSWR ?5. The advantages of this sensor have a wide bandwidth, high sensitivity and suitable size for easy installation. Thus, this sensor has been qualified as UHF PD detection in the power transformer.

    The acoustic emission (AE) technique is one of the unconventional methods of partial discharges (PDs) detection. It plays a most important role in oil-filled power transformers diagnostics because it enables the detection and online monitoring of PDs as well compared to the conventional method for PDs detection which are not suitable for on-site measurement due to electrical disturbance. In this paper, the acoustic based on piezoelectric sensor by different material is modelled in order to be able to obtain PDs signal occurred in power transformers. Modelling of a piezoelectric sensor with different material which is PZT-5H, ZnO, and AlN is approached in order to investigate the performance of resonant frequency, electric potential, and the performance in processing in order to match the range of AE detection. Piezoelectric materials have become very useful in processing devices because of their electrical-mechanical mutuality. Study was performed on frequency target of PDs should be higher and in the range of 10 kHz -300 kHz in order to prevent the power transformer from failure or breakdown and it has been found out by proven from analytical and simulation result by using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Based on this information, acoustic sensor is analyses with different types of cantilever beam and piezoelectric material and different length dimension of the beam in order to analyses the performance between them. Based on the result, the piezoelectric material that be chosen in this project is ZnO due to its high piezoelectric coupling and environmental friendly is used in order to support green technology compared to others material discussed which is harmful even though produced high performance. This detection method gave some improvement in monitoring system PD activities in the transformer's tank.
