Abstract

Partial shading, from obstacles such as buildings or trees, is a major challenge for photovoltaic systems, causing unpredictable fluctuations in solar energy production and underlining the need for advanced energy management strategies. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach that combines hybrid metaheuristic optimization with maximum power point tracking control (MPPT), using particle swarm optimization (PSO) in conjunction with the incremental conductance (IC) algorithm. We compare the proposed method with the conventional Perturb and Observation (PO) algorithm. The choice of PO as a comparison method is due to its simplicity, its familiarity with the scientific literature, its low cost of implementation. The main objective of swarm optimization combined with the IC algorithm lies in its ability to overcome the challenges posed by partial shading, ensuring accurate and efficient tracking of the point of maximum power, thanks to dynamic adaptation to variations in solar irradiation, thus enhancing the performance and resilience of the photovoltaic system. This approach  is of crucial importance, offering considerable potential for solving the complex challenges associated with partial shading. Our results show that this hybrid MPPT algorithm offers superior tracking efficiency 98% , faster convergence 500ms , better stability and increased robustness compared to traditional MPPT approaches. The system is composed of a PV and a boost converter that connects the input to the resistive load. The algorithms were implemented with MATLAB/Simulink as the simulation tool. These results not only reinforce the viability of sustainable energy solutions, but also open the way for the development of more sustainable energy solutions.The perspectives of this work are oriented towards a practical and extended integration of the proposed hybrid approach in real photovoltaic systems, with a particular emphasis on experimental validation.

Abstract

This paper purposes to demonstrate the effectiveness of fuzzy logic controller (FLC) over proportional integral (PI) controller for reducing the fault current and maintaining the voltage profile at different faults conditions using Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) which is considered an effective FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) device. The study evaluates the performance of a power system equipped with STATCOM which is connected in shunt with bus B1 under various faults conditions, including single-phase and three-phase faults. The performance of the STATCOM is evaluated by using two different controllers: PI controllers and FLCs. A comparative analysis is done between the performances of the two different controllers using Matlab/Simulink software package. The results obtained conclude that the presented system gives better performance with STATCOM as compared to not using it under several faults conditions besides, the STATCOM gives better response with FLC as compared to PI controller. It is demonstrated that STATCOM with FLC can reduce the positive sequence fault current at bus B1 ‎to 96.49% of its value without ‎using STATCOM under line to ground fault and 98.17% under three line to ‎ground fault whereas STATCOM with PI controller can reduce it ‎to (99.57, 99.05%), respectively. Also, the bus voltage B1 is improved to 102.19% by using STATCOM with fuzzy controller under line to ground fault and 101.86% under three line to ‎ground fault whereas STATCOM with PI controller can improve it ‎to (100.21, 100.93%), respectively.

Abstract

An improved indirect vector control (IVC) method for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) is presented in this research. Field-oriented control or indirect vector control as it is sometimes called is a very important element of contemporary WECS that employs DFIGs. This control strategy is pivotal for achieving high performance and efficiency of DFIG-based wind turbines because it offers direct control on the torque and power ratings of the generator. A doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is used by the WECS to inject power to the grid. An adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which is proposed to replace traditional methods like linear PI controllers, is the basis for this IVC. In this paper we chose ANFIS controller over traditional linear Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers due to its ability to adapt and learn from the system, leading to improved performance. The rotor voltage is controlled by the proposed IVC in order to regulate the exchanged active and reactive power between the stator and the grid. In order to verify the proposed control in terms of performance and robustness, a comparative analysis between the proposed ANFIS and linear PI controllers for the WECS-DFIG system is performed by a simulation study in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. This analysis covers both the transient and steady states of operation. As a result, the proposed ANFIS controller shows improved efficiency and robustness compared to the linear PI controllers. This superiority stems from its ability to integrate the flexibility and effectiveness inherent in diverse artificial intelligence controllers, specifically the synergistic use of Neural Network (NN) and Fuzzy Logic (FL) algorithms. The ANFIS controller's adaptability to diverse operating conditions and its capability to learn and optimize its performance play pivotal roles in enhancing its control capabilities within the WECS-DFIG system.
