A closed loop current mode-fractional-order-PID (CM-FOPID) controlled and PV based quadratic-boost-converter (QBC) fed gamma Z-Source Inverter with Induction motor system (PV-QBC-GZSI-IMS) for pump operation is proposed here. This work recommends a combination of QBC with gamma Z-source-inverter between the DC link source and asynchronous motor system. This will reduce the voltage rating of PV panel and its initial cost. GZSI reduces the current spikes in stator current. The objective of this research work is to regulate the speed of PV-QBC-GZSI-IMS. This effort deals with the closed loop response of PV-QBC-GZSI-IMS accompanied by current-mode-proportional integral (CM-PI) and CM-FOPID controllers. The performance investigations are analyzed with the control of QBC fed Gamma Z-source inverter with motor load using CM-PI and CM-FOPID controllers and the detailed comparison has been presented. MATLAB/Simulink outputs obtained with their respective speed and torque characteristics in time domain have been depicted. The closed loop CM-FOPID control of PV-QBC-GZSI-IMS is superior to the closed loop CM-PI control of PV-QBC-GZSI-IMS. The proposed QBC-converter reduces the voltage rating of PV panel and GZSI reduces current spikes in motor. The novelty of the article is to enhance the dynamic response of PV-QBC-GZSI-IMS using FOPID. The steady state error in torque is reduced to 0.52 N-m using FOPID.

This paper focuses on a single-switch buck-boost (SSBB) converter for light emitting diode (LED) lighting applications. The proposed LED driver with power factor correction (PFC) shows enhanced performance in terms of input power factor, efficiency and reduced voltage stress across the switch. The presented LED driver is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The input PFC is carried out using average current mode control (ACMC) and the controller is optimized using artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm. A hardware prototype of 50W LED driver with ACMC for PFC is implemented using a programmable interface circuit (PIC) microcontroller. The experimental results are presented and the performance is compared with a conventional buck boost LED driver. The proposed SSBB LED driver achieves an input power factor of 0.96 with an efficiency of 98%.

To make an electrical system reliable and cost-effective, its protection coordination is crucial. Protection coordination is a study to determine the trip settings of protective devices. This research proposes protection coordination for Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro, Sindh. This study includes the coordination of relays connected at each department to the main relay connected with the main vacuum circuit breakers (VCB) by using the time characteristic curves (TCC) and time delay setting of relays using ETAP software. This method is used for the trip of a particular circuit breaker at a proper time. Hence, if a fault occurs in any department only that department will be disconnected, and the rest of the departments will remain in a working condition. This study helps to maintain the system’s high reliability.

This paper presents an energy management system with multiple sources. The proton exchange membrane fuel cell as the main power drive source is used when needed. However, because of its slow rate it is combined with a battery and supercapacitor racks as secondary sources. The proposed energy conversion system ensures the energy demand of an electric vehicle. The storage system, which includes a battery and a supercapacitor, provides a high level of performance in both autonomy and availability of power. The battery as a primary storage source, feeds the whole system during cruse processes. At needs and during accelerations phases, the supercapacitor, takes over and reacts to supply the load. This topology keeps the fuel cell disconnected from the bus supply, until the battery reaches a critical voltage level. At this time, the fuel cell kicks in and charges the battery rack. The entire system was initially tested using MATLAB/Simulink environment and the outcome findings were subsequently analyzed. The simulated results have been corroborated experimentally using a test rig based on dSPACE real time interface. Experimental results indicate that the suggested approach is capable of meeting the electric vehicle energy requirements.

As modern control systems are becoming more complex, and the implemented technology more sophisticated, the importance of the different characteristics of those systems, such as reliability, availability, security, and protection, is increasing. In this article, an automation design for the air conditioning system of classified areas of the Parenteral solutions plant of the eastern pharmaceutical laboratory company of Santiago de Cuba province, Cuba, is proposed because there is a lack of optimal environmental conditions for development and production of pharmaceuticals at a large scale. The proposal is focused on the design of a supervision system and automatic control of the environmental variables that influence the drug production process. The entire algorithm for the design was developed to monitor critical and non-critical variables and control values of temperature, relative humidity, differential pressure, and air velocity according to standards established by pharmaceutical companies. The design of the automation system includes, apart from the control and supervision algorithm for operation efficiency, the necessary instrumentation.

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.

Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) algorithms are famous in power converter for its easy implementation of constraints with cost function than classical control algortihms. However computation complexity increases when swicthing state is high for converters such as matrix converter, multilevel converters and this impose a serious drawback to compute multi-step prediction horizon MPC algorithm which further increases the computation. To overcome the above said difficulty, machine learning based artificial neural network (ANN) controller for matrix converter is proposed. The training data for ANN controller is derived from MPC algorithm and trained offline with an accuracy of 70.3%. The proposed ANN controller shows a similar and better performance than MPC controller in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD), peak overshoot during dynamic change in reference current and dynamic change in load parameter and less computation with less execution time. Further, ANN controller for matrix converter is tested in OPAL-RT using hardware in-loop (HIL) simulation and showed that it outperforms MPC controller.

Load forecasting is a significant element in the energy management system of power systems. Precise load forecasting aids electric utilities to conduct decisions of unit commitment, reduction of spinning reserve capacity, and schedule device maintenance plan. Furthermore, load forecasting contributes to reducing the generation cost, and it is fundamental to the reliability of the power systems. On the other hand, short-term load forecasting is substantial for economic running. The forecasting precision directly affects the reliability, economy running and supplying power quality of the power system. Hence, finding the required load forecasting method to enhance the accuracy is valuable for forecasting precision. This paper proposed particle swarm optimization (PSO) to improve working support vector machine (SVM), SVM regression model is derived; also derived SVM with PSO. Support vector machine (SVM) model is adopted with and without PSO based on the historical load data and meteorological data of Tajikistan country, analysis the various factors affecting the forecast. The historical data and the load forecasting factors to be considered are normalized. The two parameters of SVM significantly influenced the model, and therefore it optimized using evolutionary algorithm.
