Abstract

Recent advances in the field of new energies such as wind turbines, solar power plants, fuel cells, micro-turbines, etc., and also the great benefits of these power plants for the power network, attract the attention of distribution companies towards them. As, today, many distribution companies are examining options for changing the distribution network structure in order to exploit new energies. In the meantime, wind energy is one of the most widely used types of distributed generation in the power network. In addition, wind power generation has the most changes to other types of renewable energy. Distribution network planning is one of the major concerns of system designers, especially when wind generation units by their random and variable nature are in system development. Since the proper placement of wind units in the network plays an essential role in improving the performance of the distribution network, providing a comprehensive and appropriate solution for placement of these units in the network is important. In this paper, a method has been presented that by considering the uncertainty in generation and consumption and the network constraints, the placement of wind units in the network is done with the aim of increasing revenues and reducing the imposed costs in the distribution system, taking into account the uncertainity. The algorithm used in this paper is a genetic algorithm with improved operators.

Abstract

Three phase supply is available in the generating station or grid, were as seven phase supply is required for many industrial applications such as, aerospace, railway and automobile applications. There are different methods in which we can convert 3 to 7 phase using 24-Pulse Converter, Carrier Based PWM Technique, multilevel converter and Multiphase Transformer. The above said methods which are more complicated to design for higher ratings or a pure sine wave will not be obtained or harmonics will be more. For Multiphase power transmission system multiphase transformers are needed. In the multiphase power transmission and multiphase rectifier systems, the number of phase can be designed and developed in multiples of three. Therefore, the variable speed multiphase drive system considered in the literature are mostly of five, seven, nine, eleven, twelve, and fifteen phase. So, there is a need to design and develop special transformer which converts from 3 to 7 phase for different arrangement of input and output. Thus, with the proposed technique, a pure seven-phase sine-wave of fixed voltage/current and frequency is obtained, which can be used for RL load and motor testing purposes. Complete design and simulation of the proposed solution is presented. Analytical calculation and simulation results for RL load is presented in the paper. This model can be simulated by using Orcad simulation software and “SimPowerSystem” block sets of MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

Abstract

In this paper, the power quality compensation problems such as current harmonics and system load's reactive power are considered. In this context, we use static distribution synchronous compensator to inject compensation current into the system, which its reference current signals have been derived from the instantaneous power theory. To improve the current control operation and fast tracking of reference signals, a PI recursive controller has been used which is able to reduce to zero tracking error compared to its conventional type. The performance of the controller is delayed for a period; to overcome this problem, the phase rules have been used to adjust the controller parameters to increase the control performance speed. Finally, in simulation we used Matlab / Simulink software, which has been proven to be better than conventional PI controller-based compensation for power quality.

Abstract

DG sources have been introduced as one of the most widely used and effective methods among various methods providing losses reduction in power systems. In this paper, the artificial bee colony algorithm has been employed with the aim of determining location and capacity of distributed generations (DGs) and capacitor banks (CBs) in distribution systems. The proposed objective function includes power losses and ENS reliability index, which is used by deploying weight coefficients as objective function in the algorithms. Accordingly, the standard 37-bus networks have been used for studies. The simulation results demonstrate that the artificial bee colony algorithm is more effective in all sections and has higher capability in reducing losses and improving reliability as well.

Abstract

The current methods use conservative voltage based on the maximum wind speed with simultaneous occurrence in peak loading conditions to determine the maximum size of the wind farm. Wind patterns never let the wind farm on the wind farm site produce its maximum capacity during hours of heavy loading conditions. A new method is presented in this research to determine the maximum size of wind farms including voltage stability margin (VSM) and wind patterns at the wind farm site in the size of a wind farm. This plan is a method to increase the maximum size of a wind farm with a limited wind generation option under certain conditions based on VSM. The proposed method is applied to the wind farm in the IEEE 14-bus network power system. The results of the new method show that the maximum size of wind farms increases when the system operates with intermittent wind control to maintain the voltage stability.
