The main objective of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) is to keep the frequency within specified limits through primary and secondary control. In this study, a model of two area thermal non-reheat power system with integration of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based Wind Energy Conversion (WEC) into both areas is presented. A Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller and a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) have been applied and compared. The Proposed controllers are used to improve the dynamic response as well as to reduce or eliminate the steady-state error in Area Control Error (ACE). FLC has been offered better and faster performance over the PID controller. The results obtained prove the impact of DFIG-based WEC on AGC and confirm the participation of the DFIG in the frequency system.

The investigation of the influence of the number of phases of switched reluctance generator (SRG) to the pulse of electromagnetic torque was carried out. The computer model was created. The amplitude of torque ripples reduces to 6 times with increasing of the ripple frequency to 5 times, that is more acceptable in terms of requirements.

In this paper, we are interested in improving the production efficiency for electric energy extracted from a wind turbine, based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) that we want to improve the performance by means of direct torque control with space vector modulation (DTC-SVM). The choice of this control comes from the deficiencies inherent to the conventional DTC, which includes variable switching frequency, torque ripple and implementation complexity. First we focuse on the wind energy conversion system (WECS) modeling using the PMSG machine, as well as the detailed study for the control DTC-SVM operating principle. Then, system performance is tested and compared by simulation in the MATLAB/Simulink in terms of follow instructions, robustness to the variations of the external system elements, and effectiveness of the expected method.

A new closed loop AC to DC ĈUK converter is presented in this paper. The conventional ĈUK AC to DC converter has no feedback circuit. Thereby, the output voltage of the converter changes while changing the load. The proposed closed loop converter can regulate voltage with the variation of load over a wide range. Moreover, the power factor and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the supply side current found quite satisfactory from this closed loop ĈUK converter. The converter operates in four steps with a different combination of voltage polarities and switching states. The feedback path consists of a voltage control loop and a current control loop. The closed loop ĈUK converter in this study is compared with the open loop version. Additionally, the comparison is made with the conventional converter of the same topology. The effectiveness in terms of power factor and THD of the proposed converter is verified using simulation results.

This paper presents a differenttopology ofH-bridge based multilevel current-source inverter (CSI). In this new topology, an H-bridge CSI is connected with a single or more current modules to generate a multilevel output current waveform with lower di/dt, and less distortion. Using the proposed multilevel CSI, the number of the power switching devices, and isolated gate drive circuits can be reduced. Moreover, chopper based DC current sources are presented to reduce the inductor size effectively to be in micro-Henry order, and ensure the balance of the intermediate current levels. The proposed topology is inherently able to reduce the inductor conduction losses if compared with the conventional multilevel CSIs and the H-bridge CSI. Seven-level PWM inverter configurationswith non-isolated DC current sources and with a single DC power source are verified through computer simulations. Furthermore,laboratoryprototypes of seven-level CSI is setup and tested.The results show that the inverter circuit works properly to generate the multilevel output current waveform with low harmonics currents, small inductors and with less conduction losses which proves feasibility of the proposed multilevel CSI.

The new energy source utilization and development, gradual rise of distributed power grid miniaturization, intelligence, control has become a trend. In order to make microgrid reliable and efficiently run, control technology of microgrid has become a top priority and an inverter as microgrid basic unit, its control has become the most important part in microgrid. In this paper, three inverters are operated in parallel using an P-V/Q-F droop control is investigated. Mathematical model of three phase inverter with LC filter is derived, which is based on the voltage and current dual control loop. Parallel control strategy based on P-V/Q-F droop control, does not require a real time communications between the inverters and more suitable for microgrid applications. To verify the feasibility and validity of the droop control scheme, simulation is done in Matlab/Simulink and results indicate droop control has significant effect on power sharing and balancing the voltage magnitude, frequency.

Considering the massive development that took place in the past two decades, wireless power transfer has yet to show the applicability to be used due to several factors. This work focuses on determining the main parameters like, mutual inductance, and coupling coefficient for a pair of helical coils for wireless power transfer applications. These parameters are important in designing and analyzing a wireless power transfer system based on the phenomenon of inductive/ resonant inductive coupling. Here presents a simple approach based on fundamental laws of physics for determining the coupled coil parameters for single layered helical coils. The results conducted by computer simulation which is MATLAB. Furthermore, this analysis is used to study the effect of change in coil diameter, mutual inductance coefficient and change in distance between coils on parameters like self and mutual inductance of coupled coils which is of great importance in Wireless Power Transfer applications. The research yielded promising results to show that wireless power transfer has huge possibility to solve many existing industrial problems.

This paper aims to simulate a wind farm model that includes wind turbine and three different types of generators , which are three-phase synchronous generator, three-phase squirrel-cage induction generator and three-phase doubly-fed induction generator ,these generators are the main machines that generally used in the field of wind energy generation. All generators are connected in parallel at the point of common coupling (PCC) and connected to the utility grid. This model is a simple representation of the actual model of Zafarana, which is the biggest wind farm in Egypt and further to use it in different kinds of simulations, and display the difference in response among all generators with the same power rating (500 kW) and subjected to the same operating conditions and faults. This paper describes the simulation of the different faults that occur along the transmission line of the power system such as single-line fault, line to line fault, double lines to ground fault, and finally three line faults. The response of the wind turbine and the different generators will be analyzed and discussed to compare the transient response of all generators at the different types of faults, where the fault period is selected to be 300 ms. The model is created in MATLAB software that enables the dynamic and static simulations of electric, electromagnetic and electromechanical systems. The machines are standard blocks in the software library.Keywords: transient faults, wind farm, simulation model.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v1i2.104

This paper attempts to design lag and lag-lead compensators for improving the performance of a Single Inductor Quad Output (SIQO) dc-dc buck converter in terms of time domain and frequency domain specifications. It develops the state space averaged model to find the duty ratio of the desired output voltages at steady state. The exercise arrives at the transfer function model from the state space averaged model through the use of its lumped small signal equivalent circuit which allows analyzing the performance of the system in frequency and time domains. The responses are derived in the MATLAB/Simulink® using discrete components incorporating compensators of the converter. The hardware results obtained using Data Acquisition Module DT9834® interfaced to MATLAB/Simulink® and prototype model establish the performance of the compensator based converter and further emphasize its ability to minimize the ripples over a range of operating loads.
