In this paper, we present a robust control of a variable speed Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), using Fractional Order Control (FOC) to prevent system deterioration under different critical conditions (external disturbance, measurement noise and DFIG parameters variation). In order to extract the maximum power from the wind, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) strategy based on rotor speed control is proposed. Furthermore, a vector control strategy is used for controlling active and reactive powers of DFIG. Additionally, a simple design method of Fractional Order Proportional Integral (FOPI) controller is proposed. Finally, the system’s performance is tested and compared according to reference tracking, robustness, disturbance rejection and noise minimization.

This paper presents a novel structure combining the port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) and Backstepping (BS) nonlinear control for the vector control of the six-phase induction motor (SPIM). In this new scheme, to improve the outer loop’s robustness, the BS technique using the integral tracking errors action is proposed in the speed and flux controllers design. The advantage of this proposed control law is not to increase the complexity of differential equation resolution due to being not increased system states numbers. To enhance more the performance of SPIM drives (SPIMD), port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) scheme is used in the inner current loop controllers. In this proposed PCH current controller, the stabilization of controller is achieved via system passivity. In that, the interconnection and damping matrix functions of PCH system are shaped so that the physical (Hamiltonian) system structure is preserved at the closed loop level and the closed loop energy function is equal to the difference between the physical energy of the system and the energy supplied by the controller. The proposed control design is based on combination PCH and BS techniques improve significantly performance and robustness. The proposed speed control scheme is validated by Matlab-Simulink software.

In this study an exergy analysis of 88.71 MW 13D2 gas turbine (GT) topping cycle is carried out. Exergy analysis based on second law was applied to the gas cycle and individual components through a modeling approach. The analysis shows that the highest exergy destruction occurs in the combustion chamber (CC). In addition, the effects of the gas turbine load and performance variations with ambient temperature, compression ratio and turbine inlet temperature (TIT) are investigated to analyse the change in system behavior. The analysis shows that the gas turbine is significantly affected by the ambient temperature which leads to a decrease in power output. The results of the load variation of the gas turbine show that a reduction in gas turbine load results in a decrease in the exergy efficiency of the cycle as well as all the components. The compressor has the largest exergy efficiency of 92.84% compared to the other component of the GT and combustion chamber is the highest source of exergy destruction of 109.89 MW at 100 % load condition. With increase in ambient temperature both exergy destruction rate and exergy efficiency decreases.

Three stage Interleaved boost converter is a good choice between DC source and DC motor. This work deals with enhancement of response of three stage ILBC fed DC motor drive system using FOPID controller. Closed loop ILBCDCM systems controlled by PI & FOPID are modeled and simulated. The results are presented for PI & FOPID controlled ILBCDCM systems. The comparison of response is done in terms of settling time and steady state error in speed of ILBCDCM. The results indicate that FOPID controlled ILBCDCM gives better response than PI controlled ILBCDCM system.

In this paper, we propose a new power generating circuit for passive ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID tag. The proposed power generating circuit consists of a RF limiter, a high power efficiency and high sensitivity full wave radio frequency (RF) wave rectifier and a low-power regulator with NMOS diodes work like a DC-limiter. The design method proposed in this study use one low drop out (LDO) regulator to provide tow output stable supply voltages vdd1 of value 1V for the digital section supply, and vdd2 of value 0.5V for the analog front-end section power supply. The proposed power generating circuit is optimized in terms of power consumption of RFID tag system to have a high operating range under conditions of 50 Ohm antenna, -24 dBm input RF power, 900MHz and 1 M DC, with low power dissipation and 29.15% large power conversion efficiency. The power generating circuit was designed, simulated and layouted in Cadence using TSMC 180 nm technology. The final design occupies approximately 0.25mm2.

Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor has gained popularity in industrial applications mainly due to its simple control structure from its first introduction in 1986. Here the direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor with zone shifting space vector modulation (SVM) has been done. It uses a simple phase current re-construction algorithm for three phase induction motor (IM).The phase current re-construction algorithm is done by using information from the current that is from the phases between the inverter and the induction motor. The proposed algorithm is robust and very simple. It uses the AC current to get the stator current for estimating the motor flux and the electromagnetic torque. By evaluating through the torque value and the current the controlling of induction motor is done. The simulation results are also given which supports the direct torque control strategy of the induction motor (IM).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i3.5641

Dual input dc-dc converters have two input voltage sources or one input source and an energy storage system like ultra capacitor, PV, battery, super capacitors and a single output load. In order to process the power in hybrid energy systems using reduced part count, researchers have proposed several multi-input dc-dc power converter topologies to transfer power from different input voltage sources to the output. This paper compares non-isolated dual-input converter topologies topologically ,based on the components count, various fields of application and different modes of operation for hybrid systems mainly used in electric vehicles and renewable energy systems composed of energy storage systems (ESSs) with different voltage-current characteristics. Dual input dc-dc converter topologies considered in this paper are investigated using MATLAB and PSIM software and output voltage and inductor current waveforms are shown.

Adaptive control is one of the widely used control strategies to design advanced control systems for better performance and accuracy. Model reference adaptive control (MRAC) is a direct adaptive strategy with some adjustable controller parameters and an adjusting mechanism to adjust them. In this work Model Reference Adaptive Control for BLDC motors has been designed with a PID controller tuned by GA-ANFIS. GA-Trained ANFIS framework for tuning the PID controller has been proposed. This is used along with the MRAC to deliver enhanced performance in the control of BLDC motor. The performance of the proposed approach is validated for motor control under conditions of change in speed, change in load, change in inertia and change in phase resistance.. The performance is validated against convention PID and self tuning PID controllers. The result demonstrates a superior performance of the proposed approach

In this study, a fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) based maximum power point tracking strategy has been applied for photovoltaic (PV) system. The key idea of the proposed technique is to combine the performances of the fuzzy logic and the sliding mode control in order to improve the generated power for a given set of climatic conditions. Different from traditional sliding mode control, the developed FSMC integrates two parts. The first part uses a fuzzy logic controller with two inputs and 25 rules as an equivalent controller while the second part is designed for an online adjusting of the switching controller’s gain using a fuzzy tuner with one input and one output. Simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed approach achieving maximum power point. The fuzzy sliding mode (FSM) controller takes less time to track the maximum power point, reduced the oscillation around the operating point and also removed the chattering phenomena that could lead to decrease the efficiency of the photovoltaic system.
