...Analysis of Power Sector in India: A Structural Perspective Niranjan Swain*, J P Singh** and Deepak Kumar*** The inhibitors to growth in power sector were many—small and big but the main roadblock in the growth path was Government Policy, which made it difficult or rather impossible for a private player to enter. This further aggravated the problem that Indian entrepreneurs didn’t have enough knowledge and experience in developing power projects. To worsen the scenario, the SEBs and other Government Agencies became financially weak to propel any future expansion or growth in the sector. Electricity Act, 2003 was a major step in solving the above underlying problems of the power sector. A whole new system was evolved where private players were invited to be an active participant. The system demanded financial, political and other infrastructural growth—with major requirement in roads and communication. Some of the bold steps taken in the Act were moving generation and distribution out of ‘License Raj’ regime, opening access to national grid and demolishing the ‘Single Buyer’ model. The failure of the huge federal structure and the changing global scenario have forced Government to think of ways to revive this fundamental infrastructure sector. Two of the avenues that government can count on for future growth of this sector is “Midgets or Small Power Plants” and “CDM—Clean Development Mechanism”. India and Infrastructure With traditional government controlled vertically...

...Content Writer Interview Questions and Tips Planning to take up a fulfilling job as online content writer or taking up writing as a career? Well as with all creative pursuits’ content writing also demands a fair bit of creativity apart from consistent quality. But when you have both, writing can be a fulfilling calling indeed. This small content/copy writing interview guide lists the interview questions common to all jobs apart from focusing on the questions more likely to be asked in any interview for a content or Web copy writer. While I was planning to write a small content writing interview guide for a long time what finally made me put my fingers to the keyboard was the truly vast experience gained after giving 11 interviews in 14 days! Persistence does pay at the end of the day. The Getup: As content writing is a relatively informal job, even an informal getup with a semi-formal shirt should do fine. No need for any tie or suit. Punctuality: This is a must irrespective of the job you apply for. Make sure you reach the venue at least 15-20 minutes before the appointed time and put your documents or reference of past work in order and do remember to have an attractive resume in hand. 1) Tell me something about yourself. This is the most common interview question which will almost certainly be asked to any candidate. While it seems a pretty straightforward question many find it the toughest as it’s quite open ended and people fumble when required to speak...

...Customer Satisfaction Surveys & Customer Satisfaction Research | | |Written by Paul Hague and Nick Hague | | | |It seems self evident that companies should try to satisfy their customers. Satisfied customers usually return and buy more, they| |tell other people about their experiences, and they may well pay a premium for the privilege of doing business with a supplier | |they trust. Statistics are bandied around that suggest that the cost of keeping a customer is only one tenth of winning a new | |one. Therefore, when we win a customer, we should hang on to them. | |Why Customer Satisfaction Is So Important | |Why is it that we can think of more examples of companies failing to satisfy us rather than when we have been satisfied? There | |could be a number of reasons for this. When we buy a product or service, we expect it to be right. We don’t jump up and down with| |glee saying “isn’t it wonderful, it actually worked”. That is what we paid our money for. Add to this our world of ever exacting | |standards. We now have products available to us that would astound our great grandparents and yet we...

...should be done in order to receive higher and continuous gains. Equity valuation begins with analysis of the sector where a person wants to invest. If the sector looks positive than evaluation of all the companies in that sector should be done in order to decide upon the investment. The objective of this report is to analyse the credibility of an investment into Reliance Communications Limited. In order to achieve this we will focus upon the organisation’s strategic and financial information. A SWOT analysis will evaluate the potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing the business and valuation analysis will tell about the profitability of the company. The methods used for the valuation analysis are: Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS: Fundamental analysis is a technique that attempts to determine a securities value by focusing on underlying factors that affect a company’s actual business and its future prospects. Fundamental analysts attempt to study everything that can affect the security's value, including macroeconomic factors (like the overall economy andindustry conditions) and company-specific factors (like financial condition andmanagement).Fundamental analysis of a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health, its management and competitive advantages, and its competitors and markets. Fundamental analysis is performed on historical and present...

...click-through. BENTEK's Market Alert, Gas Tank Full: Henry Hub Will Re-Test Price Floor, reports strong weather-adjusted demand from power will have to continue if the current U.S. natural gas market is to avoid severe production shut-ins by the end of summer. Even in a scenario where production remains flat for the entire injection season, total demand will need to average 6.3 Bcf/d stronger than the five-year summer average in order to avoid infrastructure constraints. In addition, gas production will need to be curtailed 0.9 Bcf/d in non-Northeast basins. BENTEK's Market Alert projects that these fundamental factors will lead to weak natural gas spot prices this summer, with Henry Hub cash prices dropping below $2.00 this fall as temperatures drop and demand declines. BENTEK's Gas Tank Full: Henry Hub Will Re-Test Price Floor provides essential fundamental analysis on the factors influencing the 2012 U.S. storage surplus, including injection rates, power demand and production curtailments. Key takeaways from BENTEK's Gas Tank Full Market Alert: • The April-ending 0.9-Tcf storage surplus will force the U.S. natural gas market to test operational storage constraints by the end of the injection season. • These constraints will lead the market to extremes in several key fundamentals, including injection rates, power demand and production curtailments. • Extreme year-on-year demand growth will help diminish constraints, with total demand forecast to...

...Taylor, MAI, SRA, and William E. Endsley he full spectrum of real estate risk analysis begins with the traditional banking infrastructures needed to fund property development and economic growth. The spectrum extends to the newer securitization products and property rating systems being developed to accelerate growth in mature economies. This spectrum also includes developing economies, economies in crisis, and economies in transition. Without a plan to spread rational and transparent capital development to every area of the world, economic uncertainty and threats to security will spread instead. Most importantly, the real estate spectrum includes a diverse group of citizens, governments, civil societies, and corporations that share power, often in inequitable ways. This paper looks at the role of the independent real estate valuer in examining the current distribution of the wavelengths that make up the continuum of real estate and capital markets. It examines the strands that make up this spectrum and offers suggestions for strengthening these individual strands and thereby amplifying the whole. Independent, ethical, and informed real estate valuers must analyze the full spectrum of real estate risks to protect the assets of a global public and help ensure an equitable sharing of economic power in the future. Spectrum Analyzers “Common spectrum analyzer measurements include frequency, power, modulation, distortion, and noise. Understanding the spectral content of a signal...

...NEW METHOD OF POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IN CLASSICAL AC/AC CONTROLLERS USING PWM SUBMITTED BY LEKHASRI.M KARTHIKA DEVI.G ERODE SENGUNTHAR ENGINEERING COLLEGE, Erode-57. Mail id: eseclekha.eee@gmail.com karthierd.g@gmail.com Contact no: 9791758935 8012178062 Abstract: A lot of topologies of pulse-width modulated (PWM)-AC voltage controllers for single-phase and threephasesystems are proposed up to date. PWM-AC controllers have important advantages comparedwith the phase-controlled AC voltage controllers using thyristors and triacs. This article presents anovel control technique for application to PWM-AC controllers with ability of generating smallerharmonics. In the proposed control method, both the traditional AC voltage controllers and the PWMAC. controllers are combined, smaller THD values are obtained and switching losses are minimized.Thus, the harmonic pollution in the power system will be reduced and the power quality will beincreased. In order to investigate the proposed controller performance, computer simulations andexperimental studies are performed. Obtained results are compared with those of the conventionalPWM-AC controller. Key words: Power quality, AC choppers, PWM-AC controllers, AC sector-control voltage converters INTRODUCTION There are three basic types of AC to AC converters. Thesimplest ones, the AC voltage controllers, allow...
