This paper presents a terminal voltage control approach of a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) based wind turbine generating systems. The control process is employed using a closed loop stimulated by the error between the reference voltage and the generator output voltage due to load and wind speed variation. This error feeds the tuned Proportional Integral controller (PI).Tuning of PI controller by conventional analysis methods is difficult by the existence of a significant non-linearity. A novel strategy method is presented here to determine optimum PI controller parameters of voltage control of SRG using Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA). This proposed approach is a simple and effective algorithm that is able to solve many optimization problems. The simplicity of algorithm provides high quality tuning of optimal PI controller parameters. The integral of time weighted squared error (ITSE) is used as the performance of the proposed GOA-PI controller. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is tested with the three-phase 12/8 structure SRG. Outcomes indicate the supremacy of GOA over Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in terms of control performance measures.

This paper deals with the flatness based approach for sensrless control of induction motor systems.Two main features of the proposed flatness based control are worth to be mentioned. Firstly, the simplicity of implementation of the flatness approach as a nonlinear feedback linearization control technique. Secondly, when the chosen flat outputs involve non available state variable measurements a nonlinear observer is used to estimate them. The main advantage of the used observer is its ability to exploite the properties of the system nonlinearties. The simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiness of the proposed approach for sensorless control of the considered induction motor.

In this paper, characteristics of open transistor faults in cascaded H-bridge five-level three-phase PWM controlled shunt active power filter are determined. Phase currents can’t be trusted as fault indicator since their waveforms are slightly changed in the presence of open transistor fault. The proposed method uses H bridges output voltages to determine the faulty phase, the faulty bridge and more precisely, the open fault transistor.

This paper proposes the fractional-order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controller, as a speed controller for permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motor, instead of the traditional integer-order PID controller. The FOPID controller is the general form of the integer-order PID controllers, which found wide applications in all engineering fields. In this work a hybrid M-file and SIMULINK program is developed to simulate the overall system, the FOPID controller has five associated parameters. The optimum values of those parameters are found out by using particle swarm optimization technique. Simulation results show excellent command speeds tracking and superior dynamic response in conjunction with that of the integer-order PID controller. The proposed controller shows a high ability to overcome any external disturbance the system may be exposed; also, it performs a high degree of robustness to control the system in motoring and regenerative operating modes.

An exhaustive method for the choice of different power semiconductor switches for high frequency full bridge inverter fed induction heater is presented. Heating coil of the induction heater is made of litz wire which minimises the skin effect and proximity effect at high operating frequency. With the calculated optimum values of inductance and resistance of heating coil at a particular operating frequency, high frequency full bridge inverter topology has been simulated using P-SIM software as well as constructing the experimental model of same rating. Obtained the voltage waveforms across heating coil and current waveforms through it, have been taken for further analysis. From this analysis selection of suitable power semiconductor switches like IGBT, GTO and MOSFET are made. Waveforms have been shown to justify the feasibility for real implementation of high frequency full bridge inverter fed induction heater in industrial applications.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i1.6108

Sensorless technique becomes popular nowadays in electrical drive applications specificially for AC motor drive. It is applied to determine and estimate the rotor position especially for PMSM motor. This paper presents the comparison sensorless technique to determine and estimate the position and rotor of PMSM motor. PMSM motor is widely used in industrial and automation due to its high performance motor drive. However, the location of PMSM motor in humidity and harsh environment causing the accuracy of motor is inaccurate due to deterioration of position sensor . Therefore, many sensorless techniques have been proposed by previous researchers in order to solve the problem. This paper presents the review of several categories; Model Based Method, Saliency Based Method and Signal Injection, and Artificial Intelligence Based Estimator. In addition, sensorless techniques on each category have been compared and described in terms of their advantages and disadvantages.

With the proliferation of numerous soft computing (SC)–based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms for photovoltaic (PV) systems, determining which algorithm performs better than others is becoming increasingly difficult. This is primarily due to the absence of standardized methods to benchmark their performances using consistent and systematic procedures. Moreover, the module technology, power ratings, and environmental conditions reported by numerous publications all differ. Based on these concerns, this paper presents a critical evaluation of the five most important and recent SC-based MPPTs, namely, genetic algorithm (GA), cuckoo search (CS), particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), and evolutionary programming (EP). To perform a fair comparison, the initialization, selection, and stopping criteria for all methods are fixed in similar conditions. Thus, the performance is determined by its respective reproduction process. Simulation tests are performed using the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The performance of each algorithm is compared and evaluated based on its speed of convergence, accuracy, complexity, and success rate. The results indicate that EP appears to be the most promising and encouraging SC algorithm to be used in MPPT for a PV system under the multimodal partial shading condition.

Multilevel inverters can reach the increasing demand for power quality and power ratings along with lower harmonic distortion and lesser electromagnetic interference (EMI). As the number of levels increases, it is important to control more switches in parallel with their concurrent processing capability. In this paper space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) Technique is proposed for the two-level and three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter. Due to the geometrical symmetry of six sectors, there will be close relationship between on-time arrangements and on-time calculations for switches respectively. The two and three level inverter is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink and also the experimental results are presented for verifying the effectiveness of the system. The use of Photovoltaic Cell as source for the NPC Inverter is proposed here in this paper.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v2i4.403

Power electronic interface has reached a new level in the area of hybrid energy integration nowadays. The existence for the concept of hybrid energy integration is truly questionable without a proper power electronic interface. In this paper, a modified dual input DC-DC converter which is capable of incorporating two distinct V-I characteristic sources such as solar-PV, battery, fuel cell, etc., is proposed. The converter has the ability to operate in both unidirectional and bidirectional mode with buck, buck-boost and boost operation. The software simulation of the proposed converter has been conducted in MATLAB/Simulink platform in a detailed manner and an experimental prototype of the propsed converter has been built to validate the simulation results.
