This paper proposed a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy control method is used to build the model for current controlled of three phase photovoltaic inverter. The three phase inverter connected to grid with L filter. The DC link capacitor is splatted midpoint of three phase four wire and the DC link voltage in the input side of the inverter is considered as input variables value for maximum value of the reference current for the feedback controlled. The proposed of T-S fuzzy control method and hysteresis current control can solve and enhance the THD of the output current of the inverter. The T-S fuzzy is designed to monochrome controller makes the output currents are balanced and decrease the harmonic compensation of the full system. The Matlab simulations and test results show the THD, current and the voltage of the three photovoltaic inverter under T-S fuzzy controller method is current balancing efficiency. The control unit is capable of carrying out operation in good condition, dynamic characteristics stable and high quality.

This paper presents study of distribution static compensator (D-STATCOM) for compensation of reactive power, harmonic distortion mitigation and load balancing in three phase three wire nonlinear load distribution system. The proposed control algorithm is developed based on synchronous reference frame theory using PI and FUZZY logic controller. The obtained reference current signal from control algorithm is compared in hysteresis band current controller for better switching of D-STATCOM. The performance of DSTATCOM with PI and fuzzy logic controller is also analysed and compared for DC voltage regulation and harmonic distortion mitigation .The proposed method is provided effective compensation for reactive power, harmonic distortion mitigation and load voltage balancing. The simulation results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK soft ware.

Nowadays, a distribution network is operating in a stressful manner because of a complex voltage disturbance stirred by its nonlinear, intensified, sensitive and complex loading condition with vast proliferation of electronic equipment required for the integration of renewable energy. A distribution network that mostly inflicted by the complex voltage disturbance can be referred to as the merge of stationary voltage disturbances with a short duration voltage disturbance under a nonlinear loading condition. Therefore, the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) integrating with the battery bank will have enough energy storage to overcome long and deep complex voltage disturbance that occurs in a distribution network installed with the photovoltaic (PV) system. The results are obtained with satisfactorily findings in compensating the complex voltage disturbance using DVR.

In this paper, a combination ANN/Fuzzy technique is used to design a Novel Fuzzy Single Neuron PID (NFSNPID) controller to achieve high performance brushless DC motor. The design steps include two parts. The first part uses the genetic algorithm (GA) to find the optimum parameters of Single Neuron PID (SNPID) controller, while the former deals with the design of fuzzy logic control to update the weights of SNPID control online. To demonstrate the designed controller effectiveness, a comparative study is made with between the NFSNPID, Conventional Fuzzy Single Neuron PID CFSNPID and SNPID. All controllers were used to drive, separately, the brushless DC motor against the sudden change of load and operating speed. The performed simulations show better results that motivate for further investigations.

In this paper, we study the primary frequency control that allows the variable speed Aeolian to participate in the frequency regulation when a failure affects the network frequency. This method based on the control of the generator rotational speed or the control of pitch angle makes it possible to force the wind turbine to produce less power than its maximum available power, consequently we will create an active power reserve. This wind turbine must inject into the grid a part of its power reserve when the frequency drops, in contrary the wind turbine reserves more of energy. So, this work presents the performances of this control strategy for the different wind speed value. The results are obtained by a simulation in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

This paper presents the optimization of PFC Cuk converter parameter design for the minimization of THD and voltage ripple. In this study, the PFC Cuk converter is designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) in order to achieve almost unity power factor. The passive components, i.e., inductor and capacitor are designed based on switching frequency and resonant frequency. Nevertheless, the ranges of duty cycle for buck and boost operations are 0

A system can be disturbed in terms of stability when connected to a number of loads at the distribution ends or when subjected to faults. To reverse such systems to a stable state, FACTS devices such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) are used. In this paper, a cascaded multi-level voltage source converter (VSC) STATCOM was designed and implemented with a novel space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) scheme. Artificial neural network (ANN) controller was used instead of instead of Proportional-Integral (PI) controller in the proposed scheme to improve the response time (RT) and performance of STATCOM in terms of power factor (PF) and voltage amplitude during periods of voltage sag. During the implementation, two fault sources (single-line-to-ground (SLG) and line-to- line (LL) faults) were used to create voltage sag. STATCOM was subjected to performance evaluation in the presence of these disturbances via MATLAB simulation in IEEE 3-bus system. The outcome of the simulation studies showed the ANN controller to perform better than PI as it was able to rapidly recover voltage value (<1 cycle) with unity PF.

In this paper, we focus on the modeling and control of a wind power system based on a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). We proposed a technique of control strategies to have the maximum power from wind turbine (WT). This study deals with the problem of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) based on Takagi Sugeno fuzzy model. The stability analysis is achieved. The gains of the designed controller are calculated by solving Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI). Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Recent advancement in renewable-grid integration research, due to the concern on the environmental impact, leads to extensive study in isolated power converter as their interface. As part of isolation capability in power converter interface, extensive study of magnetic component has been carried out, especially on the design, construction and optimisation to achieve optimal operation. One of the main issue in verifying the analytical power loss model is to have independent HVDC link power source for an experimental validation work. This paper focus on the design and construction of DC link source, to be use in the experimental rig setup. Several DC link source option has been evaluated, and TDK-lambda PF500-360A power supply was selected due to the availability and excellent energy efficiency offered, at better price. External circuit is designed and implemented to achieve desired voltage and current supply characteristic. At the end, the voltage and current of the DC link supply for Dual H-bridges is obtained and shown promising result for experimental rig measurement and data collection work.

This paper proposes a non-isolated soft-switching bidirectional dc/dc converter for interfacing energy storage in DC microgrid. The proposed converter employs a half-bridge boost converter at input port followed by a LCC resonant tank to assist in soft-switching of switches and diodes, and finally a voltage doubler circuit at the output port to enhance the voltage gain by two times. The LCC resonant circuit also adds a suitable voltage gain to the converter. Therefore, overall high voltage gain of the converter is obtained without a transformer or large number of multiplier circuit. For operation in buck mode, the high side voltage is divided by half with capacitive divider to gain higher step-down ratio. The converter is operated at high frequency to obtain low output voltage ripple, reduced magnetics and filters. Zero voltage turn-on is achieved for all switches and zero current turn-on and turn-off is achieved for all diodes in both modes i.e., buck/boost operation. Voltage stress across switches and diode is clamped naturally without external snubber circuit. An experimental prototype has been designed, built and tested in the laboratory to verify the performance of the proposed converter.
