Photovoltaic (PV) is a source of electrical energy derived from solar energy and has a poor level of efficiency. This efficiency is influenced by PV condition, weather, and equipments like Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). MPPT control is widely used to improve PV efficiency because MPPT can produce optimal power in various weather conditions. In this paper, MPPT control is performed using the Fuzzy Logic-Particle Swarm Optimization (FL-PSO) method. This FL-PSO is used to get the Maximum Power Point (MPP) and minimize the output power oscillation from PV. From the simulation results using FL-PSO, the values of voltage, and output power from the boost converter are 183.6 V, and 637.7 W, respectively. The ripple of output power from PV with FL-PSO is 69.5 W. Then, the time required by FL-PSO reaches MPP is 0.354 s. Compared with MPPT control based on the PSO method, the MPPT technique using FL-PSO indicates better performance and faster than the PSO.

This paper describes the application of a novel neuro-fuzzy based control strategy which is used in order to improve the Active Power Filter (APF) dynamics to minimize the harmonics for wide range of variations of load current under various conditions. To improve dynamic behavior of a three phase four-wire shunt active power filter and its robustness under range of load variations, adaptive hysteresis band with instantaneous p-q theory is used with the inclusion of neural network filter for reference current generation and fuzzy logic controller for DC voltage control. The proposed control scheme for “split-capacitor” converter topology is simple and also capable of maintaining the compensated line currents balanced, irrespective of unbalancing in the source voltages & deviation in the capacitor voltages. The results presented in MATLAB-SIMULINK software in this paper clearly reflect the effectiveness of the proposed APF to meet the IEEE-519 standard recommendations on harmonic levels.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v1i2.93

In order to deal with the boost converter non minimum phase property and to solve the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) major problem (the chattering phenomenon), a new backstepping Sliding Mode Controller is developed. In this paper, a comparative study between the proposed controller and the (2-SMC)super twisting and the classical SMC is provided in order to evaluate each controller. Simulations and experimental results show the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed controller with respect to load variation.

DC motor drive system supplied by AC/DC rectifier topology considered as a nonlinear load. It produces harmonic distortions and EMI noise effects in the power systems. In this paper deals with the reduction of supply current harmonics and EMI noise generated by the power electronics converter in the DC motor drive using FFT analysis. The single boost converter along with EMI input filter is proposed in this system to investigate the harmonic reduction in the DC motor drive. The single boost converter fed DC motor drive is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results show better agreement with the proposed system.

Air pollution is one of the biggest threat for the environment and the human’s health. The monitoring of air pollution based on several atmospheric pollutants is becoming critical in most countries including Malaysia. This paper presents a development and enhancement features of real-time Internet of Things (IoT)-based environmental monitoring system for air quality. The proposed system will be beneficial to monitor the real-time data for a specific set of air quality parameters such as temperature, humidity and concentration of carbon monoxide, liquified petroleum gas (LPG) and smoke. An alarm system will be triggered if the concentration of carbon monoxide exceeds 50 ppm. Users can use their smartphone to view these data via Wi-Fi by installing an application called “AirProp”. Based on the collected data, this paper also analyses other contributing factors such as time and traffic condition on the temperature, humidity and concentration of pollutant gases at different locations. The advantage of the real-time system is it serves as the data base platform to store data up to certain duration of time. The data can be further analysed and leveraged by governments and researchers to mitigate air pollution.

Shunt active power filter based on multilevel inverter is used to compensate the power factor and to delete the harmonics. This one permits to reduce the inverse voltages applied to the filter switches and their switching frequencies. Nevertheless, the high number of used switches requires a complicated controller and increases the switching losses; where the necessity of finding another resolution system. In this work a new topology of multilevel inverter is proposed as a shunt active power filter using two IGBT transistors in series of opposite sense meticulously controlled by a parallel control algorithm, with the concept of reduced number of six switches which are able to create five levels of the output voltage. This system substute the classical system of eight switches. The harmonic currents identification is carried out using the instantaneous active and reactive power method. The simulation is performed using Matlab/Simulink. The obtained results show that the filtering performances are well enhanced.

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 field oriented control theory and space vector pulse width modulation technique make a permanent magnet synchronous motor can achieve the performance as well as a DC motor. However, due to the nonlinearity of the permanent magnet synchronous motor drive characteristics, it is difficult to control by using conventional proportional-integral-derivative controller. By this reason in this paper an online neural network controller for the permanent magnet synchronous motor is proposed. The controller is designed to tracks variations of speed references and also during load disturbance. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by develop simulation model in MATLAB-simulink program. The simulation results show that the proposed controller can reduce the overshoot, settling time and rise time. It can be concluded that the performance of the controller is improved.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i3.5941

The projected diode assisted Neutral Point Diode Clamed (NPC-MLI) with the photovoltaic system produces a maximum voltage gain that is comparatively higher than those of other boost conversion techniques. This paper mainly explores vector selection approach pulse-width modulation (PWM) strategies for diode-assisted NPC-MLI to obtain a maximum voltage gain without compromising in waveform quality. To obtain a high voltage gain maximum utilization of dc-link voltage and stress on the power switches must be reduced. From the above issues in the diode assisted NPC-MLI leads to vector selection approach PWM technique to perform capacitive charging in parallel and discharging in series to obtain maximum voltage gain. The operation principle and the relationship of voltage gain versus voltage boost duty ratio and switching device voltage stress versus voltage gain are theoretically investigated in detail. Owing to better performance, diode-assisted NPC-MLI is more promising and competitive topology for wide range dc/ac power conversion in a renewable energy application. Furthermore, theoretically investigated are validated via simulation and experimental results.
