In this article, the robust nonlinear controller for cascaded H-bridge-based distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) with input-output linearization and sliding mode control scheme using an improved voltage balancing scheme is presented. The feedback linearization method and sliding mode control scheme are used to cancel nonlinearities and deal with invariant stability due to mathematical modeling uncertainties due to DSTATCOM parameter and external load disturbance. The improved voltage balancing is used to balance the voltages of the DC side capacitor of DSTATCOM. The complete simulation studies are out to validate the control scheme based on the improved voltage balance integrated with sliding mode control under disturbances caused by the load changes and DSTATCOM parametric changes. The performance characteristics of the DSTATCOM with sliding mode controller are tested using the MATLAB/Simulink platform.

In order to improve the control accuracy of the robot manipulator, the sliding mode control combined with the adaptive neural network (ANNSMC) is proposed. Sliding mode control (SMC) is a nonlinear control recognized for its efficiency, easy tuning and implementation, accuracy and robustness. However, higher amplitude of chattering is produced due to the higher switching gain to handle the large uncertainties. For the purpose of reducing this gain, the uncertain parts of the system are estimated using neural network (NN) with on-line training using back propagation (BP) technique. The results of the online interconnection weights between the input and the hidden layers and between the hidden and the output layers are injected offline in order to improve the network performance in term of the convergence speed. In order to reduce the response time caused by the online training, the obtained output and input weights are updated using the adaptive laws derived from the Lyapunov stability approachthe proposed control ANNSMC has improved the convergence speed with 41.13% for the first link and 40.15% for the second link comparing to NNSMC. The simulation result illustrates the performance of the proposed approach by using MATLAB and the control action suggested did not manifest any chattering behavior.

Under the generation of electrical power, fuel consumption, and emission are emphasized in the thermal power industry. Based on this, emission and cost were considered objectives with inequality and equality constraints. The spinning reserve was replenished as one of the constraints. In this paper, the spinning reserve cost (SRC)was incorporated with the total cost objective function. The hybrid technique is steered to achieve minimal value which is the combination of the cuckoo search method and flower pollination algorithm. To predict the potential of the proposed technique, two systems are considered namely a four-unit system and an IEEE thirty-nine bus system. The obtained simulation outcome shows a better improvement with the proposed technique in optimal value.

Thermoelectric generator (TEG) can directly convert heat energy into electrical energy. It improves the power efficiency of the energy generation system by converting the power loss in the form of heat produced during the generation process into additional electrical energy. The TEG emulator (TEGE) is a power converter that produces a similar current-voltage characteristic as the TEG. It is a valuable device used to develop and test the TEG-based energy generation system. Nonetheless, the research on the TEGE is still in the early stage. This paper proposed a proper, low-cost, and high-efficient TEGE design using the buck converter. The contribution of the paper covers the TEG model in the form of an array, the buck converter design tailored to the TEGE, and 4 new control strategies proposed for the TEGE. The control strategies are the direct referencing method (DRM), perturb and observed (PnO) method, resistance comparison method (RCM), and resistance feedback method (RFM). The conventional proportional-integral controller is used to maintain a smooth operation during transient and steady-state periods. The results show the merits or demerits for each proposed control strategy based on the accuracy, transient response, stability, overshoot, and efficiency.

A multi-shaft system has been adopted by power plants in Thailand for decades; however, for newer units, single-shaft systems have become more popular. This paper compared reliability measures—the system means failure rate, system mean repair rate, and system unavailability indices—between multi-shaft and single-shaft combined cycle power plants (CCPPs). The results showed that the long-term system availability of one multi-shaft CCPP was higher than each of the single-shaft units by 40.70%. In addition, the multi-shaft unit had a 42.14% longer mean time to failure (MTTF) than the single-shaft unit. Finally, the multi-shaft CCPP had 34.59% higher expected capacity than that of the single-shaft system.

The doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) has the advantages of compactness and low cost, so it has been applied more and more in practice. However, the structure of the DFIG system is complex, multivariable, nonlinear, and difficult to control. Chaos is a phenomenon that only occurs with nonlinear dynamical systems, sensitive to initial conditions and aperiodic but it is governed by deterministic laws, unlike random perturbations. For most powertrain systems, chaos causes disadvantages, reduce performance, and even destruction of the system. By method of analysis based on theory and simulation, the paper will demonstrate the chaotic phenomenon for DFIG when the parameters of the system change into a certain value. From that set of parameters, the controller is designed to avoid or eliminate that chaotic behavior, so that the system works more reliably and with better quality.

In this paper, a 4-H-bridge STATCOM (4-HB STATCOM) is introduced. Four H-bridges are cascaded to build the proposed STATCOM. Cascading the H-bridges makes it possible to operate the devised STATCOM on high voltage levels with less voltage harmonic association. The proposed STATCOM is equipped with an adaptive current controller and a voltage balancing technique for its DC capacitor voltages. The adopted controlling strategy makes the STATCOM respond continuously and linearly to current demand in both inductive and capacitive operational modes without noticeable association of harmonics. The DC capacitor of each H-bridge is shunted by a second harmonic filter to stabilize its voltage. The proposed STATCOM does not require initial charging of its DC capacitors because it is provided with a utilized technique for charging them rapidly by disabling the STATCOM carrier for a certain period sufficient to build up the required level of DC voltages. In this work, the proposed STATCOM is designed to operate on 11 kV AC voltage as a continuously and linearly controlled compensating susceptance. It can deservingly be employed in load balancing systems for achieving big amount of energy savings in power generation and big reduction in transmission losses.

The conventional production of electrical energy gives rise to environmental problems and involves high production costs. To cope with the increasing demand for electrical loads and to optimize power transmission on the grid, it is imperative to shift towards renewable energies and their hybrid utilization. This planning study assesses the impact of fluctuating electric loads on bus voltages and frequency, with the objective of distributing energy in a more efficient and dynamic manner. Moreover, we delve into the implementation of artificial intelligence (IAPS) to curtail operations, minimize losses (GED), optimize production plans (EMSO), and synchronize decentralized multi-machine power systems (MMSA). Our study scrutinizes power dispatching on dynamic models of purely consuming loads, which are subject to dynamic constraints, by utilizing educational software that encompasses 13 cycles for 24 hours of frequency studies for multisource production in a standardized electrical system (EPSS). The control outcomes obtained through validation on an IEEE30 bus network display a resilient model for planned productions.

The dominance of non-linear loads, sustainable energy sources and power electronic devices in modern power system has in turn compromised the system stability by introducing numerous power quality (PQ) issues. A wind energy conversion system (WECS) fed unified power flow conditioner (UPFC) architecture is suggested in this work since maintaining optimal PQ is important for both the supply authorities and customers. The proposed approach supports both clean energy generation and PQ enhancement. The UPFC aids with accomplishing control over reactive power flow, active power flow, phase angle, impedance and voltage. The reference current for the UPFC is generated using DQ theory. Moreover, a shunt and series compensators of an UPFC are controlled using cascaded fuzzy logic controller (CFLC). The stability of the DC voltage obtained from doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based WECS is also controlled using a CFLC. The simulation model for the presented WECS fed UPFC is developed in MATLAB and its performance is evaluated.

Variable load on the station refers to the fluctuating load on a power plant due to erratic consumer demands. It is known to have an effect on the performance of power system stabilizers, particularly in damping inter-area oscillation. This paper examines how two power system stabilizer (PSS) models and various load conditions affect a power system's voltage and power stability. A dynamic model of the power system station, based on the real case study of the Peerdawd gas power station in north Iraq (PPGS), is utilized to investigate the response of both steady-state and transient-state models: the aggregated excitation control system (Ex2100) and the power system stabilizer (PSS2B). The impact of load variation on voltage stability under normal situations and during disturbances is discussed. Furthermore, the effect of reactive power support from the power plant on the input of the two PSS models is analyzed and discussed. The paper employs a MATLABTM/Simulink-based simulation program, and the results contribute to understanding how load variation influences system damping based on PSS.
