The wireless power transfer (WPT) system has become popular given its safety and flexibility in electric vehicle (EVs) charging applications. Due to the increasing number of EVs, vehicle to grid (V2G) can be implemented in the future in which a bidirectional WPT is one of the key features. A high-efficiency bidirectional resonant WPT system is studied and implemented in this study. Besides bidirectional capability, single stage and regulated output voltage are other features of this work. It is done by using the variable frequency control without sacrificing efficiency and conforming to the typical frequency range of the WPT system for EVs application. The analysis of the series-series compensated WPT is presented, followed by the design consideration of the developed bidirectional WPT system. At last, the implementation and experimental results for a 3 kW laboratory prototype are also presented to show the validity and the feasibility of the proposed scheme. A 96.8% efficiency at a 210-mm gap and a 95% efficiency at a 250-mm gap can be achieved under a rated power condition.

The rapid integration of wind power and power solar plants into the electrical power system has caused several operation issues in recent decades. To investigate the impact of large-scale renewable power plants on the tie-line loadings of a practical power grid, the 110 kV power network of Binh Dinh province, Vietnam is utilized in this paper. This power network with and without three solar power plants (including Fujiwara plant with a peak capacity of 50 MWp, Cat Hiep plant with a peak capacity of 49.5 MWp, and Dam Tra O plant with a peak capacity of 50 MWp) and three wind power plants (including Nhon Hoi plant with a capacity of 60MW, Phuong Mai 1 plant with a capacity of 26.4 MW, and Phuong Mai 3 plant with a capacity of 20.7 MW) is modeled by using the PSS/E software to examine the tie-line loadings capacity. The simulation results showed that the tie-line loadings of the current power network increase when six renewable power plants are integrated into this network. Therefore, three different scenarios to upgrade the existing power network are proposed. The final results demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed scenarios in solving the tie-line loadings issue of the practical power network.

The diagnosis of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) turns out to be necessary because of their relatively high cost of operation and maintenance. Wind turbines are hard-to-access structures, and they are often located in remote areas. Therefore, a remote diagnosis (e-diagnosis) is required. This paper proposes an alternative approach for the e-diagnosis of a WECS based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and frequency analysis of the aero generator stator currents. To validate this approach, real-time hardware in the loop (HIL) is used to simulate in real-time the mathematical model of the induction generator on the OPAL-RT OP5600 platform to generate the stator currents and the rotor speed. The DWT is applied to the current signal, to generate the DWT signal, which has a huge number of points that are not supported for direct transmission by the Arduino Mega RobotDyn because of its limited sample time. The absolute values of the DWT peak points (MDWT) are sent as point’s packages form to the diagnosis station via the ESP8266 integrated Wi-Fi board of the Arduino Mega RobotDyn to monitor the SCIG states and determine the number of broken bars.

High power capacity and reliability are characteristics of multilevel inverters. The using a collection of DC sources can produce a terminal voltage that is very close to sinusoidal. The power quality can be improved by adding more levels, but this makes the control system more complicated and expensive. The number of power components in a multilevel inverter has been studied for decades. So, research needs to be done on multilevel inverter configurations to find ways to add levels with fewer power switches than with traditional topologies and those that have already been proposed. In this research, a new power-efficient arrangement of a flying-capacitor inverter is introduced. In order to illustrate the suggested topology, a seven-level multilevel inverter is constructed and demonstrated in a simplified form. Fewer power components, including power switches, capacitors, and gate driver circuits, are required in this topology than in other topologies described in the recent literature, which is one of its main advantages. The improvement mentioned above can be seen in the way this topology works, which is shown by the characteristics of the circuit. MATLAB/Simulink R2021a is used to simulate and verify the circuit to ensure the proposed topology is correct.

A simplified model of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) implemented on a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system is presented in this study for the analyses of steady-state and transient stabilities. The simplified model design’s goal is to reduce the complicated modeling of the MMC circuit as well as the simulation time of the analysis. The validity of the model design has been examined using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation program, where the simulation outcomes of the detailed model and the simplified model are contrasted. It has been established that the simplified model is accurate enough and that simulation time can be substantially decreased. It is concluded that the suggested model design is very significant as a simplified model for analyzing the steady state and transient stabilities of MMC-HVDC transmission system.

Grid impedance is one of the most important parameters for the satisfactory operation of variable frequency drive (VFD) and their interaction with other utilities connected to the same grid. In this research investigation a new approach to analytical evaluation and verification of grid impedance, and short circuit current is discussed. VFD under identical operating and loading conditions is connected to different grid capacities and configurations, being considered in this investigation. Grid impedance variation in terms of measured or estimated values, due to different grid connectivity affects the commutation of uncontrolled front-end rectifiers. This impacts the nonlinearity of input current wave shape, causing a significant change in current harmonics (THDi) and ripple current of DC link. This paper comprehensively investigates the reduction of DC capacitor lifetime and losses of DC inductor, and diode with various grid capacity and configurations under standard load conditions. High-frequency harmonics impact (2-9 kHz) on DC inductor losses is also analyzed. A VFD of 250 kW is considered for entire practical measurement including distortion effects and MATLAB simulation. This research may give a good insight into the sizing of VFD front-end devices. The reliability impact of VFD is also one of the important outcomes of this research.

The present article presents the load forecasting for a power system (substation) load demands using techniques based on fuzzy time series (FTS), artificial neural network (ANN), and wavelet transform (WT). The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), integral absolute error (IAE), integral of time multiplied error (ITAE), integral square error (ISE) along with integral time multiplied square error (ITSE) criteria are used for determining the performance indices and minimizing the error. From the investigations of the results obtained in the study, it is inferred that forecasting of electric load based on WT and ANN offers less error as compared to FTS. The suggested integrated model captures the useful properties of artificial neural networks and wavelet transforms in time series and is found to be accurate for real-time data.

Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is used at each generating station or synchronous generators to maintain voltage supply at steady state or at a constant value otherwise the performance of the generator will be affected. The combination of AVR system with controllers clears fluctuation due to variation in load, speed, temperature, and power factor. This causes deviation in generator’s voltage and damage to power equipment. This work presents performance enhancement of AVR system using Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) with pre-filter control technique. The enhanced performance was achieved by designing a nonlinear model of a synchronous generator, a PID controller and a low pass filter or pre-filter using MATLAB/Simulink model. The introduction of the proposed PID controller with LPF at load variation of 20 seconds, reduces the rise time and the peak time to 5.2975 seconds and 12.31 seconds respectively. This increases the overshoot and the settling time to 4.28 seconds and 17.60 seconds. However, the developed scheme provides a stable time response performance for various desired generator voltages considered. The performance of the proposed scheme was compared with conventional PID controlled AVR system without LPF. The proposed scheme provides more stability as indicated by the percentage overshoot, which is 4.5788% (for PID) and 4.2765% (for PID with prefilter). This has contributed to knowledge an AVR control system with better performance in terms of rise time, peak time, overshoot and settling time for stabilized generator output voltage.
