<![CDATA[The penetration of grid integrated distributed generation (DG) in the present decade, has benefited rural communities, the environment, and the power sector. These renewable power sources based DGs could eliminate the need of extensive transmission networks, especially in remote areas, reduce emissions and improve power supply reliability. A significant drawback of grid integrated DG systems is the islanding of DG units, which puts workers' safety at risk and raises the possibility of damaging electrical infrastructure. Therefore, islanding detection techniques are used to reduce the danger associated with islanded functioning of DG units. Fast detection, small non detection area and less power quality disturbance are the major requirements of any islanding detection method. To address this issue of islanding, researchers have proposed various islanding detection strategies. This paper compares various q-axis controller-based islanding identification approaches: sub-harmonic perturbation (SHP), complementary reactive power perturbation (CRPP), and even harmonic perturbation (EHP). In all three proposed methodologies, the perturbations introduced result in frequency deviations surpassing the predefined threshold values. But the time of islanding detection is least in the CRPP approach. CRPP can also drift the total harmonic distortion (THD) beyond the corresponding threshold in an appreciable way. The performance of these (Islanding detection methods) IDMs is evaluated through simulations using MATLAB-Simulink on a PV fed DG. The efficacy of the comparative analysis is ensured with necessary waveforms.]]>

<![CDATA[The bi-directional direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter plays a crucial role in applications involving photovoltaic (PV)-based micro grids. These PV-based hybrid systems have become imperative to ensure uninterrupted power supply and meet local power demands. Selecting the right controller for this converter presents a significant challenge. Traditional proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers yield suboptimal efficiency due to their high delay and settling times. This issue can be overcome by implementing a PID controller based on genetic algorithms (GA). An interconnected grid system is employed to regulate the DC connection voltage across various load conditions, with PV serving as the means to sustain electricity generation. Numerous operational modes tailored to demand are explored, and control techniques are used to maintain the desired DC link voltage level, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of both the PV system and the bidirectional converter in on-grid configurations.]]>

<![CDATA[Multi-motor systems (MMS) find widespread use in various industrial applications, including plastic, paper, textiles, and steel rolling mills, where synchronized speeds are crucial for optimal operation. However, a significant limitation of these systems is their susceptibility to voltage sags, resulting in speed and synchronization loss, along with peak currents and torques during voltage recovery. This paper presents a comprehensive multi-motors management strategy aimed at attenuating the adverse effects of voltage sags. The proposed technique is based on principles that involve recovering the system’s kinetic energy and leveraging the current reversibility of the converters. The control scheme comprises two main strategies: an adaptive linear neuron or later adaptive linear element (ADALINE)-based voltage sag detection algorithm utilizing least mean square (LMS) adaptation for rapid convergence using artificial neural networks, and a control scheme incorporating sliding mode speed controllers and indirect rotor field-oriented control (IRFOC). Additionally, a logic-based strategy for voltage sag attenuation completes the control framework. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed strategy are demonstrated through simulation results obtained using MATLAB/Simulink/SimPowerSystems.]]>

<![CDATA[In this paper, an integration of a Z-source inverter (ZSI)-based shunt active power filter (SAPF) fed by a photovoltaic (PV) system for the enhancement of power quality is proposed. The ZSI provides substantial advantages including improved boost functionality, reduced harmonics, and superior performance compared to traditional inverters. In this paper, the SAPF control is based on instantaneous reactive power theory. A proportional-integral (PI) controller is implemented for DC-link voltage control, with the primary aim of this study being the elimination of total harmonic distortion (THD) in the source current. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, simulations were conducted using MATLAB/Simulink across various operating conditions. The outcomes substantiate and validate the efficacy of the proposed method.]]>

<![CDATA[This article addresses the issue related to determining the minimum capacitor required for the self-excitation of an induction generator. The determination of the minimum capacitance required for the self-excitation of a self-excited induction generator has already been the subject of several previous studies. It has been shown that the minimum capacitance depends on the rotation speed and the remanent magnetism. The study carried out in this paper shows that, in addition to the rotation speed and the remanent magnetism, there is a third parameter that has an influence on the self-excitation process, which is the acceleration or, in other words, the rotation speed ramp-up. In this paper, several experimental self-excitation tests for different values of the rotation speed ramp-up are carried out, leading to new characteristics of the minimum self-excitation capacitance as a function of the rotation speed. The results obtained from simulation and experimental studies prove the efficacy of the proposed approach.]]>

<![CDATA[The research work proposes a gallium nitride (GaN) based isolated bidirectional DC-DC (IBDC)-triple active bridge (TAB) based multi-port converter (MPC) for electric vehicle (EV) charging. The proposed GaN IBDC-TAB based MPC incorporates one input port (Port 1) and two output ports (Port 2 and Port 3) for charging, implying the use of fewer components compared to a conventional dual active bridge (DAB) charging system. The output ports can be operated individually in single active bridge (SAB), Dual active bridge (DAB), and TAB modes. A 12 kW GaN IBDC-TAB based MPC converter is designed for simulation study using LTspice XVII software. In the TAB mode of operation, output Port 2 designated for Level-1 (L-1) charging produces 1.5 kW, and output Port 3 designated for Level-2 (L-2) charging produces 10.6 kW. The maximum efficiency of 98.87% is obtained in simulation for the MPC converter in TAB mode. For experimental validation, a 0.91 kW prototype is presented with Port 1, Port 2, and Port 3 voltages as 230 V, 120 V, and 200 V respectively with the considered switching frequency of 100 kHz. The single-phase-shift control strategy is implemented for controlling the transmitted power in the proposed GaN IBDC-TAB converter.]]>

<![CDATA[A three-phase four-leg bidirectional power converter used as an input stage of an energy storage system using the inductance (L), capacitance (C), and inductance (L) or LCL filter on the grid side is considered. The article provides a variant of the three-phase four-leg bidirectional converter control system implementation based on 3D space vector pulse-width modulation and per-phase voltage control. A brief analysis of the applied control algorithms of the three-phase four-leg bidirectional converter in inverter and rectifier modes is given. A computer model has been built to investigate the operating modes of the converters of the designated class with both balanced and unbalanced load. Studies were carried out by computer modeling methods in order to optimize the parameters of the LCL filter on the grid side with bidirectional energy exchange. Optimal LCL filter parameters and modulation frequencies are determined for the developed converter, providing acceptable quality indicators when operating in bidirectional mode.]]>

<![CDATA[The most critical disturbance faced in the electrical distribution systems is power service interruptions due to voltage sag or swell which results in economic losses on the user’s side. To compensate voltage sag or swell, advanced custom power devices are used and one of such devices is the static synchronous compensation (STATCOM). This paper presents the implementation of 5-level voltage source converter (VSC) STATCOM using a neural network (NN) and a simplified space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) circuit. The primary objective of the NN controller and SVPWM circuit is to enhance the performance and response time of the STATCOM system, specifically in terms of improving voltage and power factor (PF) when faced with voltage sag or swell. The performance of STATCOM was examined within the context of the IEEE 3-bus system. The investigation focused on two scenarios: a single-line-to-ground fault resulting in voltage sag, and the sudden connection of a capacitive load leading to voltage swell. The findings unequivocally demonstrated the efficacy of the STATCOM with a NN controller in comparison to a conventional controller. The utilization of the NN controller resulted in notable improvements in voltage and PF within a remarkably short time frame of 0.02 seconds.]]>

<![CDATA[This article reports a strategy for suppressing commutation torque ripple has been proposed by modifying a SEPIC converter using switched capacitor. The torque ripple generated during the commutation period is one of the main disadvantages of a brushless DC (BLDC) motor. The cause for the torque ripple in brushless DC motor has been mathematically analyzed in this work. Henceforth, a modified switched-capacitor based DC-DC converter has been proposed for integration with BLDC drive. Moreover, a theoretical analysis of the relationship has been established between the duty ratio of the DC-DC converter with commutation time and torque ripple. A low cost and simple method to control the dc link voltage of BLDC drive has been proposed and a comparative analysis of the proposed converter with previously existing similar converters has been shown. This work aims at reducing ripple in electromagnetic torque of BLDC motor from the view point of duty ratio of the DC-DC converter and commutation time of the drive. The feasibility of the drive has been evaluated experimentally and through simulation. It has been observed that the integration of the proposed converter with BLDC drive help in torque ripple suppression to 16.5% as compared to BLDC drive without any DC-DC converter.]]>
