In This paper we present experimental comparative study of feedBack Linearized and Proportional Integral (PI) Controller of the DC bus voltage of three phase shunt Active Power Filter (APF). The FeedBack Linearized and PI controllers are introduced to improve tracking performance characteristics, power quality and minimized consumption of the reactive power. The algorithm used to identify the reference currents is based on the Self Tuning Filter (STF). The firing pulses of the IGBTs inverter are generated using a hysteresis current controller; which is implemented on an analogue card. Finally, the above study, under steady state and transient conditions, is illustrated with signal-flow graphs and corresponding analysis. This study was verified by experimental tests on hardware prototype based on dSPACE-1104. The experimental results show the feasibility and the effectiveness of the designed active filter, associated with Feedback Linearized and PI controllers and are capability in meeting the IEEE 519-1992 recommended harmonic standard limits.

Stand-alone applications of Photovoltaic (PV) can be found in water pumping systems for rural area. The proper electric motor must be chosen for optimal considerations. One of the modern electric motor called brushless motor (BLDC) can be an alternative for this application although it has complexity in control. Powering such a motor by using electric energy generating by PV modules will be an interesting problem. In this paper, a PV powered BLDC motor system is proposed. The PV modules must produce maximum power at any instant time and then this power must be able to rotate the motor. By combining sequential stator energizing due to a rotor detection and a PWM concept, the speed of BLDC can be controlled. Meanwhile, to get maximum power of PV modules, detection of voltage and current of the modules are required to be calculated. Digital Signal Control (DSC) is implemented to handle this control strategy and locks the width of the PWM signal to maintain the PV modules under maximum power operation. The effectiveness of the proposed system has been verified by simulation works. Finally the experimental works were done to validate.

The high penetration of fluctuated photovoltaic (PV) output power into utility grid system will affect the operation of interconnected grids. The unnecessary output power fluctuation of PV system is contributed by unpredictable nature and inconsistency of solar irradiance and temperature. This paper presents a control scheme to mitigate the output power fluctuations from PV system and dispatch out the constant power on an hourly basis to the utility grid. In this regards, battery energy storage (BES) system is used to eliminate the output power fluctuation. Control scheme is proposed to maintain parameters of BES within required operating constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is tested using historical PV system input data obtained from a site in Malaysia. The simulation results show that the proposed control scheme of BES system can properly manage the output power fluctuations of the PV sources by dispatching the output on hourly basis to the utility grid while meeting all required operating constraints.

This paper analyses the nonlinear phenomena in current mode controlled buck-boost converter. The system undergoes various operating regions whenever there is a change in non linear elements presented in the system as well as in the loads. In this work, inductor current is considered as the reference for analysis.The results show that the converter enters into period-1, periodic doubling and chaotic regions as per the parameter (IL) variations. The proposed control strategy, weak periodic perturbation (WPP) method tries to stabilize the system from the chaotic behavior.The buck boost converter along with the control system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software tool and the results are presented.The hardware implementation of the system is done and the results are verified with the simulation results. It shows that the WPP can transform the system behaviour from the chaotic region to the periodic one.

Performance of a voltage source inverter depends on pulse width modulation algorithms. Various algorithms exist for conventional space vector as well as space vector based bus clamped pulse width modulation for multilevel inverter in the literature. In this paper appropriate region selection algorithm for conventional space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) and bus clamped pulse width modulation (BCPWM) techniques are proposed for diode clamped three level voltage source inverter. The proposed techniques are implemented on a three level voltage source inverter fed induction motor drive for open loop operation. The schemes are simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK environments. The merit of proposed region selection algorithm is tested and verified through simulation result. Further performance comparisons between SVPWM and BCPWM for different modulation index are discussed.

Deregulation can be characterized as the way toward evacuating the limitations and controls to accomplish focused discount costs without trading off sufficiency, framework dependability and security. In deregulation prepare there exist no. of purchasers and merchants. Where the offering and purchasing of force happen through various components is called control advertise. The utilization of the hereditary calculation to take care of the ideal power dispatch issue for a multi-hub sell off the market is proposed. The ideal power dispatch issue is a non-straight streamlining issue with a few requirements. The target of the proposed hereditary calculation is to amplify the aggregate member's advantage at all hubs in the framework.

This work investigates the usage of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for a three phase conventional matrix converter with low pass filter at the input and output side. The conventional matrix converter has 3 input and 3 output which gives 27 switching state. From this design, a MPC is incorporate to control the output voltage and the input currents for all the phases. The design of the proposed controller is based on the input current controller and output voltage controller with load observer. The proposed MPC using cost function will select the minimized switching state to be applied to next switching. This gives a sinusoidal output voltages and input currents. A simulation and experimental studies are presented to validate the proposed control scheme.

This article presents the new control structure for a Direct Current Motor (DC Motor) using the flatness-control principle. Basic on the mathematical model of DC Motors, the author demonstrates the application ability of the fatness-control theory to control the DC Motor, and then calculates the parameters and proposes the structure of the flatness-controller. The proposed structure is built and ran on Matlab-Simulink software to verify the system efficiency. The simulation results show that the quality of the control system is very good, especially in case of the flatness controller combined with PID controller to eliminate static error when the parameters of the DC Motor have been not known accurately.

One of the advanced power applications using energy storage is the integration of energy storage technologies with VSC-based FACTS controllers. With the support of energy storage device, FACTS controllers will have the ability to exchange active power or energy with the ac network in steady state. This paper discusses the impact of Static Synchronous Compensator incorporating energy storage device (STATCOM-ES) on subsynchronous resonance (SSR). It also proposes the design of an auxiliary SSR damping controller (SSDC) for STATCOM-ES to damp the subsynchronous oscillations which the system is undergoing because of a series capacitor in the transmission system. The system under consideration is IEEE FBM which is modified to incorporate STATCOM-ES at the electrical midpoint. The investigation of SSR characteristics when a STATCOM - ES operating in bus voltage regulation mode is carried out by eigenvalue and damping torque analysis. Transient analysis based on the nonlinear model is also performed to validate the results obtained by conventional methods.
