This paper focus on distribution system by applying different control techniques in order to improve the performance of the system. In the distribution system mainly concentrate on power quality issues like reactive power control, harmonic elimination, power factor correction, etc. Because of power quality problems voltage, current, frequency are continuously changing in power systems. These changes will effects the performance of power systems. Power quality problems can be compensated by placing DSTATCOM which is connected at PCC in parallel. It is shunt connected VSI along with the filters, with the help of DSTATCOM voltage sag, swell and THD can be controlled. This paper presents detailed explanation about performance and configuration of latest control techniques to control the DSTATCOM.

LED industries are currently focusing on the thermal management to reduce the junction temperature as well as the total thermal resistance for high power solid state lighting application. Metal powder or metal oxide filled thermal paste (TP) using as a thermal interface material is one kind of approach to solve the problem. In connection with that, milled TiO2 and Cr2O3 powder were mixed in different ratio with commercial thermal paste. Cumulative structure function (CSF) analysis was used to characterize the metal oxide mixed thermal paste as thermal interface material (TIM) for 3W LED. TiO2 mixed TIM showed good performance on reducing junction temperature (ΔTJ = 1.19 ºC) for driving current at 350 mA. Overall, TiO2 mixed TP shows low value of board to heat sink thermal resistance (Rth-b-hs) compared to all other results. Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS) analysis results revealed the percentage of mixed powder as low when compared with mixed ratio. O2 content in mixed paste showed immense effect on reducing total thermal resistance.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i4.4150

In order to maximize the electric energy production of a photovoltaic generator (PVG), the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods are usually used in photovoltaic systems. The principle of these techniques is to operate the PVG to the maximum power point (MPP), which depends on the environmental factors, such as solar irradiance and ambient temperature, ensuring the optimal power transfer between PVG and load. In this paper, we present the implementation of two digital MPPT commands using the Arduino Mega type. The two proposed MPPT controls are based on the algorithm of perturb and observe (P&O), the first one with fixed perturbation step and the second one with two perturbations step varying with some conditions. The experimental results show that the P&O algorithm with variable step perturbation gives good results compared to the P&O algorithm with fixed perturbation step in terms of the time response and the oscillations around the MPP.

In this paper, a three-phase load connected to a NPC three-level inverter is presented. To generate gate signals for the multilevel inverter, two commands are developed and compared: the phase disposition pulse width modulation (PDPWM) and the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM). DC supply is provided by photovoltaic cells. Boost converter controls the power transfer from photovoltaic generator. Due to nonlinear I-V characteristics of photovoltaic cells, a maximum power point tracking algorithm is adopted to maximize the output power, the nonlinear controller (sliding mode) is developed and simulated. To verify the effectivnesse of the introdueced controller, it is compared with the fuzzy logic controller. Matlab-simulink is used for simulation, analysis and interpretation the results of these controllers.

This paper introduces a new hybrid topology of multilevel inverter capable of generating 21-level output voltage. The proposed topology is built using the combination of cross-switched bridge and a conventional full H-bridge. Compared to the conventional topologies and other hybrid topologies, the newly introduced multilevel inverter has the ability to maximize the number of voltage levels utilizing lower number of DC voltage sources, integrated bipolar transistor (IGBT) switches and gate drivers. A low frequency modulation technique is used to generate the ideal multilevel output voltage and gate pulses. Furthermore, the proposed topology is validated by building a hardware prototype and obtaining relevant experimental results. The acquired simulated and experimental results indicate the proper functioning of the proposed hybrid topology along with the compatibility of the applied modulation technique.

FACTS devices are one of the latest technologies which have been used to improve power system dynamic and stability during recent years. However, widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high cost and reliability concerns. In this paper an economical phase imbalanced shunt reactive compensation concept has been introduced and its ability for power system dynamic enhancement and inter-area oscillation damping are investigated. A hybrid phase imbalanced scheme is a shunt capacitive compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed shunt capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) in shunt with a fixed capacitor (CC). The power system dynamic stability enhancement would be achieved by adding a conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) to the main control loop of the single phase STATCOM. Two different control methodologies are proposed: a non-optimized conventional damping controller and a conventional damping controller with optomised parameters that are added to the main control loop of the unbalanced compensator in order to damp the inter area oscillations. The proposed arrangement would, certainly, be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase STATCOM. The proposed scheme is prosperously applied in a 13-bus six-machine test system and various case studies are conducted to demonstrate its ability in damping inter-area oscillations and power system dynamic enhancement.

The objective of this paper is to study the dynamic response of the wind energy conversion system (WECS) based on the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). The DFIG rotor is connected to the grid via a converter. The active and reactive power control is realized by the DFIG rotor variables control, using the field oriented control (FOC). The vector control of DFIG is applied by the use of tow regulators PI and the neural network regulator (NN). The generator mathematical model is implemented in Matlab/ Simulink software to simulate a DFIG of 1.5 MW in order to show the efficiency of the performances and robustness of the studied control systems. The simulation obtained results shows that the robustness and response time of the neural network regulator is better than those obtained by the PI classical regulator.

This paper presents an analysis of a three-phase unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) in terms of design and performance. A back to back connection of a series compensator and a shunt compensator with a common DC-bus is utilized to build the UPQC model. The series compensator compensates the power quality problems such as grid voltage sags/swells for the grid side. During sag and swell condition, the compensated voltage is injected by the series compensator in phase with the point of common coupling (PCC) or out of phase with PCC. The load current harmonics is compensated by using the shunt compensator. The dynamic performance and the steady state of the designed model are analyzed by using MATLAB-Simulink under several disturbances such as PCC voltage harmonics, voltage sags/swells and load unbalancing using a nonlinear load.

This paper presents the realization and design of a linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) with a new stator structure. One of the setbacks in the LSRM family is the presence of high force ripple leads to vibration and acoustic noise. The proposed structure provides a smooth force profile with reduced force ripple. Finite element analysis (FEA) is used to predict the force and other relevant parameters.A frequency spectrum analysis of the force profile using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is presented.The FEA and experimental results of this paper prove that LSRMs are one of the strong candidates for linear propulsion drives.
