The main objective of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) is to keep the frequency within specified limits through primary and secondary control. In this study, a model of two area thermal non-reheat power system with integration of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based Wind Energy Conversion (WEC) into both areas is presented. A Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller and a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) have been applied and compared. The Proposed controllers are used to improve the dynamic response as well as to reduce or eliminate the steady-state error in Area Control Error (ACE). FLC has been offered better and faster performance over the PID controller. The results obtained prove the impact of DFIG-based WEC on AGC and confirm the participation of the DFIG in the frequency system.

Many schemes were attempted to lessenthe time taken for measuring the power factor of a linear load. This paper suggests taking advantage of a previous paper where only two samples of the voltage and current were adequate to have a very fast calculation method of the power factor. That scheme used a phase locked loop (PLL) as a frequency multiplier scheme to acquire two progressive samples of the voltage and current which are concurrent. The time elapsed for measurement was the reciprocal of the PLL sampling frequency; no further scheme was reported after that to claim a faster method. This paper gets use of that work to get two progressive samples of voltage and current separated by a short time. The scheme is frequency independent with an indication for lead lag. All the operations are executed by a PIC microcontroller rather than a computer with few support circuits. The output will be shown either in digital or analogue (DC) form. The percentage of error depends mainly on the resolution (number of bits) for both the ADC and DAC used.

Flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine with high temperature superconductors (HTS) bulks located between the rotor poles to eliminate the flux leakage in the rotor, termed as (HTS-FSPM) machine has been proposed in this paper. Using genetic algorithm, the HTS and the conventional FSPM machines having the same size constraints and load conditions have been globally optimized for max. aveage torque. To highlight the advantages of the HTS-FSPM machine, a performance comparison between the conventional and HTS-FSPM machines has been presented. It is found that the HTS-FSPM machine can increase the torque by 27%, however, this comes with the expense of higher torque ripple and power losses.

This paper described a self-supply smart microgrid which may be a low voltage or medium voltage distribution network. It considered an efficient energy system in which different renewable sources as photo-voltaic array, wind, or conventional as diesel generator, and storage called distributed generators which organized to chance the load power demand at any time with reliability. It can operate either on-grid or off-grid configuration, especially limited areas far from the utility grid needed another backup power. By using Matlab/Simulink, a solar PV system is modeled, simulated, and determined the characteristic of a particular photovoltaic cell panel under the influence of different values of ambient conditions. Taking into consideration MPPT algorithm which increases the solar energy efficiency by Incremental conductance technique to track MPP correctly with fast response. Power electronic DC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter are used with PWM technique. To compensate the power fluctuations of the system under different possible transient cases, a high performance control based on an improved virtual synchronous generator is added to confirm smooth variants in voltage, frequency and active power during transient conditions. The results show the PV/Diesel generator/battery/power/frequency and voltage performance at two different conditions.

This paper presents the adaptive filtering based least mean square control algorithm for distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) in three-phase grid tied system for linear/non-linear load, to solve the power quality problems caused by solid-state equipment and devices. This is shown that the active component weights obtained from the load currents in the LMS adaptive filter are used to produce the reference currents and subsequently produces the switching pulses for VSC of the compensator. The complete circuit along with the adaptive technique and diode bridge rectifier type nonlinear load is simulated in Matlab/Simulink software. Initially the circuit was simulated for a three phase linear inductive load. Later it was simulated for a rectifier load connected at PCC with a disconnection of the load of any phase for a short duration of time. It is concluded that the harmonics are found within the limit. The harmonics and power results for both types of loads are compared in a tabular form. Hence this three phase system with DSTATCOM improves the power quality in the three-phase distribution network therefore, serves to provide harmonics reduction, load balancing and regulating the terminal voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC).

This research presents tracking the maximum power of a photovoltaic to control a five-level inverter, a cascade type connecting a single-phase grid-connected system with a fuzzy logic control model. Maximum power tracking control In this research, the principle of controlling the maximum current amplitude of the photovoltaic multiplied by the sine signal per unit that used as a reference current compared to the grid current. Signal comparison with the PID controller allows the creation of five levels of PWM of cascade control of five-level inverter connects single-phase grids. The results of the simulation test using the program MATLAB/Simulink to compare with the generated prototype found that the fuzzy logic principle was used to control the maximum power tracking conditions of the P&O method, when the amount of radiation light intensity decreases suddenly, making it possible to track the maximum power of the photovoltaic. Also, when the inverter connected to the grid by controlling the power angle to compare results between the simulation and the prototype — found that the current flowing into the grid increases according to the power angle control. Resulting in a nearby waveform, sine wave and an out of phase angle to the grid voltage because the system is in the inverter mode, and the harmonic spectrum of the grid currently has total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced as an indication of the proposed system can be developed and applications.

This paper presents a PFC (Power Factor Correction) Cuk converter fed BLDC (Brushless DC) motor drive and the speed of BLDC motor is controlled using fuzzy logic implementation. The PFC converters are employed to enhance the power quality. The Brushless DC motor speed is under the control of DC-bus voltage of VSI-Voltage Source Inverter in which switching of low frequency is used. This helps in the electronic commutation of BLDC motors thus decreasing the switching losses in VSI. A DBR (Diode Bridge Rectifier) next to the PFC Cuk converter controls the voltage at DC link maintaining unity power factor. The characteristics of Cuk converter in four dissimilar modes of operation are studied such as continuous and discontinuous conduction modes (CCM and DCM) respectively. The entire system is simulated using Matlab/Simulink software and the simulation results are reported to verify the performance investigation of the proposed system.

The purpose of this work is to present the advantages of the power control (active and reactive) of a wind energy system in order to improve the quality of the energy produced to the grid by presenting two control strategies applied to the conversion system of wind energy equipped with an asynchronous generator with dual power supply. Both techniques are studied and developed and consist of a field control (FOC) and a sliding mode control. They find their strongest justifications for the problem of using a nonlinear control law that is robust to the uncertainties of the model. The goal is to apply these two commands to independently control the active and reactive powers generated by the decoupled asynchronous machine by flow orientation. Thus, a study of these commands will be detailed and validated in the Matlab / Simulink environment with the simultaneous use of the "Pitch Control" and "Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)" techniques. The results of numerical simulations obtained show the increasing interest of the two controls in the electrical systems. They also attest that the quality of the active and reactive powers and voltages of the wind system is considerably improved.
