Distribution Transformers are one of the imperative equipment in power system. The insulation design has an important role because it continuously energizes in a day. Due to electro mechanical stresses the operating temperature of distribution transformer will be increased which maintains with in limit using liquid dielectrics. Traditional mineral oil is used as liquid dielectrics in Distribution Transformer. Due to lack of fossil fuels and lesser biodegradability characteristics of mineral oil, the alternating liquid dielectrics are important. In this research work viscosity of pongamia pinnata oil is measured using PLINT TE 62 Bench Viscometer as per ASTM D445 standard .Water content analysis of the oil sample has to be measured by weight balance method and Breakdown strength of oil sample was measured by Nutronics oil test set as per IEC 60156. From the experimental analysis, the viscosity of pongamia pinnata oil is low as compared to RBDPO, Soyabean oil, Coconut oil and Sunflower oil. The moisture content of pongamia pinnata oil is significantly reduced during aging period and the average breakdown strength of pongamia pinnata oil is higher than that of conventionally used mineral oil.

This work focuses on a mitigating harmonic filter. It investigates the effect of mitigating harmonic filters in the textile industry with innovative energy conservation strategies for energy bill reduction, which covers a pathway to climate change mitigation. Here, the effect of the harmonic filter is found out by the systematic energy audit methodology (Preliminary, Detailed and Post-Audit phase). From the energy auditing, it has been found that the textile industry needed a passive harmonic filter for harmonic mitigation. Since, third, fifth, and seventh order of harmonic predominantly exists in the system. The high stability at higher current, known tuning frequency, low cost, and low power consumption make the passive filter the best fit for the system. The voltage and current Total Harmonic Distortion Factor (THDF) have been measured using the class 'A' power quality and energy analyzer. The harmonic filter's effect in harmonics mitigation is prominent; 66.45% of the reduction of current harmonics is achieved after installing the passive filter at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) of the system. Also, the reduction of harmonics ensures energy conservation by reducing additional losses (joule, copper, and eddy current losses). The techno-economic analysis with payback period calculation is carried out and reported. Also, the effect of harmonics like mechanical anomalies (temperature rise) is carefully studied using an infrared thermographic technique in the textile industry's motor loads. The energy conservation and their carbon emission reduction are calculated and reported.INDEX TERMS Carbon emission reduction, energy audit, energy conservation, harmonic mitigation, passive mitigation techniques, and power quality.
