A multi-level converter is a power electronic device desired to generate a desired AC voltage level using several introduced DC voltages, the output voltage of the converter is characterized by a low harmonic content (THD) compared to conventional inverters. The adopted innovative design permits the independent control of PV modules, enabling, in this way, to operate independently and won’t be very affected by intermittence. Additionally in this paper, a new control strategy based on sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique is analyzed for cascaded H-Bridge inverter. In this new technique, separate modified carriers are used for each H-Bridge (HB). Multiple-carrier SPWM is used with the new control SPWM technique. Those carriers are being implemented with diverse sinusoidal dispositions phase disposition (PD), phase opposition and disposition (POD), alternative opposition and disposition (APOD), and with altered frequencies. Experimental results are obtained while using different operating conditions.

The AC line input voltage is frequently rectified by single-phase diode rectifiers and filtered using sizable electrolytic capacitors. The capacitor draws current in brief pulses, so harmonics distort the line current, resulting in high losses. Harmonics and line current distortions harm the unity power factor and efficiency. This article adopts a simple single-stage AC-DC converter with a high-power factor and low total harmonic distortion. The PI hysteresis current control was utilized to reduce the total harmonic distortion and increase the power factor at full load. The PI controller was added to the outer voltage loop to regulate the output voltage. Ziegler-Nichol's tuning method was used to determine the controller gain levels. Simulation results were obtained for the AC-DC converter at a constant switching frequency to show the benefits of the proposed control method, which has a low total harmonic distortion and a high-power factor compared with cases without a controller. The proposed control method is accurate and efficient for achieving the power factor correction converter. Besides, the proposed control was stable during dynamic and steady-state responses.

Modern wind farms are considered one of the most important sources of energy today. The biggest cost of the farm is the cost of electrical connection to the farmers (constituting the largest part of the aesthetic cost of the farm) and finding the best method for electrical connection (the optimal method) for wind turbines (WTS), as well as the optimal size and measurement of electrical cables. Here, the (harmonious) search algorithm solves the optimization problem and the method of digging the soil in order to lay the cables in it. Two cases will be discussed in order to calculate the optimal size of the cables, namely partial calculation and optimal calculation for connection schemes in the best method for wind farms (OWFS). Also, the total cost, shipping methods, methods of digging extensions into the soil and the different classifications for turbines (wind turbines) will be addressed in order to obtain the best investment for them, so that we reach the optimal delivery and the lowest possible cost in a coordinated and thoughtful manner.

Grid integration of renewable energy systems with majority of which is variable dc and variable ac. For example, solar systems output variable dc, while wind systems output variable ac. Power electronics now plays a significant role in the DC and AC conversion required for the grid. Power electronics now allows dc-coupled systems to be controlled for both active and reactive power, making inductively controlled for improving power quality and synchronizing renewable energy systems. The presence of harmonics in electrical systems indicates that current and voltage are distorted and deviate from sinusoidal waves; odd and even harmonics are the result of a nonlinear load. Voltage and sag and swell are examples of power quality issues, as are filters whose primary purpose is to reduce harmonics, voltage, and current in alternating-current power systems to an acceptable level. The maximum power point tracking is based on maintaining temperature and irradiance variables. We use both proposition and Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to maximize PV power with oscillation tracking. The genetic algorithm with partial swarm optimization (GA-PSO) algorithm based on various optimization control techniques. Control techniques are proposed for systems with various unbalanced voltages to maintain control operation during fault conditions.

This research work deals with the modelling, control and simulation of a wind turbine based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) in the current sensor’s failure event. We present in the first time the model of the wind energy conversion system based on the DFIG and the control by active disturbances rejection control (ADRC) optimized by genetic algorithm. Particular focus is directed towards on a technique for detection, identification, isolation and reconfiguration of current sensor signals after failure. The combination of the two preceding techniques makes it possible to have a fault tolerant control to sensor faults which ensures continuity of service in all circumstances. The robustness of the proposed technique is tested under the MATLAB/Simulink environment.

In order to enhance electricity quality, a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system simulation is presented in this study. A 200 kW photovoltaic system is integrated to a utility grid and loads. A 25 kV 3-level insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) bridge converter is used. Through this system integration of a renewable energy source with a non-renewable source is achieved. This system also wins over the intermittent nature of the renewable source (solar energy) and non-reliability of conventional sources (utility grid). Power and signal quality for various signals such as ripple factor and total harmonic distortion has improved. The suggested system is investigated using MATLAB/Simulink environment. Total harmonic distortion (THD) in voltage and current, ripple factor correction is also incorporate in the MATLAB model.

Due to the high demand of grid connected photovoltaic systems, there is a need to track the maximum power point of the PV system. As the output of PV system is dc, there should be a converter, acting as medium between PV system and dc bus capacitor to track maximum power at all the loads. Usually boost converter is acting as medium between PV system and dc link capacitor as the duty cycle of the insulated-gate bipolar transistor in boost converter is in between 0 to 1 for maximum loads during maximum power point tracking (MPPT). To make PV system stable, the balance point is dc bus. If the dc bus voltage is constant, the system will be stable. Then the transfer power will just depend on current. For this purpose, the active current reference signal is to be generated by setting up the reference voltage across dc bus. Here to generate active reference current, PI controller is used and the reference voltage is taken according to the peak voltage of the inverter output voltage. The proposed control strategy was evaluated on a three-phase inverter linked to the grid and supplied by the PV system, which is working under varying irradiation conditions.

Transmission systems are prone to contingency conditions that would either occur using a generator outage or line outage. Placing and sizing the flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) devices appropriately can reduce the effects of the contingency condition. This paper optimally locates FACTS devices in a transmission system under the N-1 contingency condition. The genetic algorithm (GA) technique is used to locate different, multiple FACTS devices (thyristor-controlled series capacitor and static VAR compensator) optimally in a power system. This optimization technique is used to locate FACTS devices on the IEEE 9 bus system. MATLAB simulation is developed and checked for both single and multiple FACTS placements. Simulation results obtained for generator outage and line outage are tabulated with the type of FACTS device/rating, location, and generation cost with line loss reduction. The optimized results observed for the cost-optimized FACTS placement problem are found to be satisfactory. The results obtained in the IEEE 9 bus system have shown improvement in a decrease of generation cost and system loss component while placement and sizing of both the FACTS devices.

The power efficiency of the wire free power transmission (WPT) system is tested in this article under various transmission distance circumstances, and the findings are utilized to investigate the best way to regulate the parameters for charging electric vehicles (EVs). The system`s power transfer efficiency is improved over using a fixed resonant frequency by altering it in response to changes in the coupling coefficient. In relation to resonance frequency, a trade-off between output power magnitude and power efficiency is also revealed. Through numerical simulation with Ansys, the trade-off resonant frequencies at various transmission lengths are determined by the analysis. Here, the transmitter and receiver employ circular coils with a circular cross-sectional area and a straightforward but effective series-series (SS) compensation architecture is used for comprehensive analysis.

This paper presents a photovoltaic (PV) microgrid with battery and super capacitor hybrid energy storage systems. The proposed microgrid system is designed for both grid connected and standalone mode with coordinated control-based energy management system, which controls DC link voltage, voltage and frequency balance at point of common coupling. DC link voltage control is implemented using dual loop PI controller-based voltage controller and inverter control is based on D-Q reference frame technique. The microgrid system is demonstrated in MATLAB/Simulink. The presentation of the planned energy supervision system is analyzed for varying generation and load condition. In the proposed microgrid the battery energy storage system is utilized to provide long term energy during average power requirement and supercapacitor energy storage system is utilized to provide short term power requirements during sudden load variation, generation variation and during transition of modes. Designed energy management system performs effectively in grid connected mode, standalone mode with smooth transition between the modes. And it maintains dc bus voltage of the microgrid constant irrespective of load and generation variations and also during mode changing conditions.
