This study presents the power quality issue mainly focus the effect of total harmonic distortion (THD) on a grid-connected PV system. Firstly, a grid-connected PV system with a single-phase single-stage has been developed to monitor the output values of voltage and current and also its harmonic distortion behaviours. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) was implemented since it is proven as the first step for THD reduction because MPPT will extract maximum output power, voltage, and current of the PV system without fluctuation which leads to a low THD level. Furthermore, the employment of a good filter also reduces the THD level in a PV system. Thus, this study will focus on the THD analysis to resolve the power quality problems in the grid-connected PV system. The result shows that the THD value for current, ITHD analysis is more significant than the THD value for voltage, VTHD analysis in the case of grid-connected PV systems operating under different solar irradiances. In a conclusion, the increase in solar irradiance will increase the rated values of generated power and current thus, increasing the performance of THD values.

Since the previous few decades, researchers and utilities have been extremely concerned about voltage instability because to the numerous instances of system blackouts caused by voltage instability that have been recorded in various regions of the world. With the development of synchro phasor technology, it appears conceivable to track and manage the system's voltage stability in real time. This study suggests using phasor measuring units (PMUs) placed strategically to monitor voltage stability margin online and to regulate it using a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). According to the minimum reactive and real power loanability for the most of the line outages, STATCOM has been installed at the critical bus. Based on the difference between the bus voltage and its reference value, STATCOM supplies reactive power into the bus. PMU measurements are used to determine bus voltages at regular intervals, and reactive power is then added to the bus online as necessary. The increased voltage stability margin brought on by STATCOM injecting reactive power is continuously checked. Based on simulations performed on the IEEE 14-bus system and the New England 39-bus system, the effectiveness of the suggested approach for online monitoring and management of voltage stability margin (VSM) has been proven.

Predictive diagnosis of motor defects can reduce repair and downtime costs of electrical equipment. This paper presents the results of a research on the effectiveness of the defect classification and recognition system based on convolutional neural network to detect defects in a squirrel-cage induction motor based on the stator supply voltage and output phase currents when supplied from an industrial grid of limited power with possible voltage asymmetry and harmonic distortion taken into account. In this work a simulation model, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, is proposed to investigate unbalanced conditions. The mathematical model has been verified on a physical test bench and then used to create a database of currents from measured asymmetric grid voltages in the presence of defects such as short circuit between turns of one phase, rotor bar breakage, rotor eccentricity and bearing defects. The classification quality of all defects in the neural network was 72%, with the exclusion of intercoil short circuit defect and the merging of different bearing defects, the quality of the model was achieved 91%. A further increase in the quality of the defect recognition system is due to a building up modification of the neural network architecture.

The intensive use of non-linear loads is further contributing in the increase of power quality problems. They cause voltage distortions and current harmonics in an electrical distribution network. To minimize these problems, the unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is used. The intermediate circuit voltage of this filter can deviate from its source during a transient event during a harmonic disturbance in voltage (voltage dip) or in current during the connection and disconnection of polluting loads. In a particular point in operating time, the stabilization of dc-bus and the compensation ability is necessary to maintain around its reference. The combination of a UPQC conditioner with a photovoltaic (PV) system connected to the intermediate element of the two converters of the DC bus (DC Link) is the adequate solution. The photovoltaic (PV) system is fitted with a fuzzy MPPT controller regulated by an algorithm (P and O) to control a boost converter. This converter is controlled by fuzzy logic related to the capacitor terminal of UPQC. The simulation results show that the UPQC conditioner based on the proposed photovoltaic system can be used for voltage disturbance compensation and the protection of non-linear loads connected to a distribution network.

Many international organizations have called for reducing usage of renewable energy as a means to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, this paper studies the case of electricity production based to fossil fuels. Currently existing solutions is to shift from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy. Electrical interconnections are used between large-scale areas; these interconnections have a major problem that is the phenomenon of oscillations. The amount of fossil energy used by power plants depends on the electrical load required. with these conditions it is not possible to reduce the amount of energy required to satisfy the electrical load required. The solution proposed in this paper is the improvement of interarea oscillation using phasor measurement unit technology for real-time monitoring and accuracy of measurements. We tested the proposed solution for the north African power system. The results show the importance of improving interconnection networks to reduce fossil fuels use.

Planning and management of distribution networks has become a very difficult task, especially with the strong expansion of renewable energy sources (RES) which are intermittent in nature. Maintaining fluidity and reliability of real-time decisions while taking into consideration uncertainties related to production and increasing the profit of distribution network operators is the objective of the system proposed in this work. It is an intelligent energy management system dedicated to the management of grid-integrated RES and battery energy storage systems (BESS), composed of: i) a real-time control and data acquisition model, ii) a model for forecasting the intermittent parameters of RES based on neural networks, iii) a long-term planning model based on the optimal placement and size of RES and BESS, and iv) an hourly planning model for scheduling the energy distribution between energy sources. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and the entropy-TOPSIS method (technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution) form the basic block of this model. To evaluate it, a modified IEEE 33 bus network was used for testing and the results, for short-term scheduling, proved that the system succeeds in maximizing profits and significantly minimizing CO2 emissions, in addition to power losses and voltage drops.

This article discusses a design of a photovoltaic (PV) system that allow charging a battery under variable climatic circumstances. The system under study is composed of two DC-DC converters a boost and Buck converter. The first one is used to extract the maximum power from the PV array through a novel variable step size P&O based MPPT offering a high tracking accuracy compared to classical approaches such PO and INC. The second converters aim at regulating the output voltage and current that feeds the battery using a robust optimal PI (O-PI) which has a faster time response and high accuracy compared to classical PI and PID controllers. The overall system and thecontrol strategies are tested and validated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulations results show the effectiveness and the robustness of the system.

This manuscript applies model prediction-based control (MPC) to accommodate the variable ac-natured load (AL) by optimally allocating the fuel cell (FC), battery, solar photovoltaic (SP) power in a four-port dc/dc converter (FPDDC). The presented work considers the FC, battery, SP, and AL at the first, second, third, and fourth ports of the FPDDC, respectively. The small signaled state-space representation of the FPDDC has been obtained through the improved cyclic averaged current. Then, to get the receding horizon-based MPC optimal control action, ∆u * [k] ; k = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . ., the above-mentioned model of the FPDDC is discretized. The ∆u * [k] has been obtained by formulating a performance index, Ja [k] based on an error minimization between the reference AL power demand, rpd [k] and the actual AL power, y [k]. The corresponding results have been obtained through the Simulink platform of the MATLAB. Further, the article takes sequential quadratic programming (SQP) into consideration to benchmark these solutions.

The objective of this work is to study the contribution that the use of the multi-level inverter can make compared to a conventional two-level inverter, in a wind power production line (WPG) associated with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The DFIG is driven by a variable speed wind turbine and operates in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode, for optimum efficiency. The rotor of the DFIG is supplied by a DC/AC inverter with five levels with MPC structure, controlled by the PWM technique, while the stator is connected with the network. The active and reactive powers exchanged between the DFIG and the network is achieved by indirect vector control with oriented stator flux (IFOC), with conventional regulators, ensuring zero reactive power and a unitary power factor. The total harmonic distortion (THD) of the current signals/voltages of the entire wind chain is exposed and criticized. The obtained results are very promising, offering the possibility for wind turbines with multi-level inverter to work in high voltage and large power.

Utilization of new renewable energy can be one solution to the limitations of fossil energy. Ocean wave energy is renewable energy caused by tides, and this potential can be utilized as a source of electrical energy in Indonesia, especially East Nusa Tenggara. This ocean wave power plant uses oscillating water column (OWC) technology. This wave energy is energy that can be developed and environmentally friendly and available every time. This paper analyzes the amount of energy produced by ocean waves using OWC technology in the East Nusa Tenggara. The benefits of this paper can be used as a reference for planning the construction of a wave power plant around East Nusa Tenggara. The method used is to measure the condition of ocean waves for a year and analyze the amount of energy and electrical power that can be generated by ocean waves with the use of OWC. The results of the analysis show that the use of ocean wave power plants with OWC technology in the waters of East Nusa Tenggara can produce the highest energy of 20,291,728.83 Joules and the lowest is 17,062.62 Joules. The electrical power generated is between 3,645.45 Watt to 4,274,314.37 Watt, and average of power density by ocean waves using OWC is 19,021.89 Watt/m2.
