Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a device that can compensate harmonic, voltage sag and voltage swell condition that exists in a three-phase system. Other than that, DVR can also be used to enhance the energy efficiency or energy saving by reducing excessive amount of incoming power via the reduction incoming voltage at allowable limit. The DVR can inject the required voltage in the system so that the interruption of supply voltage can be compensated. The compensation of voltage supply interruption is improved based on the hysteresis voltage output of controller used in the DVR to detect the difference between reference voltage and disrupted voltage. The hysteresis voltage control mainly controlled by relays switching so that the signal can be sent to IGBT switches controller. The hysteresis voltage control and unipolar SPWM is supplied to control the IGBT switches by the DC supply for voltage interruption compensation. The unipolar SPWM technique converts the DC supply voltage into AC supplied voltage, thus making the DVR injection become easier to inject the AC voltage into the system to compensate voltage sag and voltage swell.

With a long coastal border of about 7500 Kms, India would need an efficient option of hybrid power generation in the coastal region. Abundant availability of wave power and sunlight due to its closeness to equator makes it clear base for power generation from wave generator and the solar power. This paper develops the implementation, which combines both the wave generator and the PV array for a hybrid power delivery controlled using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Engine (ANFIS) controller. The super capacitor is used for higher efficiency compared to batteries. It absorbs power and delivers power fast, where it is more important in wave generation as the power and voltage is not stable. The power delivery improvement in this hybrid system while different controllers like the PI and the ANFIS controller is analysed. There is a higher power delivery improvement when ANFIS controller is chosen.

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are developed to harvest and supply maximum power to the load. This depends on the power generated and the MPPT accuracy. Under quick-changing weather conditions, Incremental Conductance (InCond) and numerous different algorithms may fail to track the exact Maximum Power Point (MPP) which may result in significant power loss. Fuzzy Logic (FL) based MPPT is quick and accurate in tracking the MPP, but the high complexity and the implementation difficulty are their main disadvantages. A novel FL-InCond MPPT improved technique is developed based on the features of InCond and FL techniques to overcome their drawbacks.The newly developed approach can automatically adjust the variation of the duty cycle for tracking the MPP with accuracy. The obtained results are compared with conventional Perturb and observe (P&O) and InCond MPPTs for grid-connected mode under fast weather conditions. It is demonstrated that the developed method outperforms the aforementioned MPPT techniques in terms of tracking response, efficiency and the delivered current quality.

Renewable energy sources are increasingly being used today and solar energy is the most readily and abundantly available energy source. Boost converters are an integral part of any solar energy system. In order to obtain maximum possible energy from the solar system multi-phase interleaved boost converters are used. This paper presents the small-signal ac modelling and closed loop control of three-phase interleaved boost converter. State–space modelling methodology has been adopted to have linearized equivalent model of the boost converter. The interleaved three-phase boost converter is averaged over its one switching period and perturbed with small ac variations and finally linearized around its quiescent point to have a small signal ac model. Type III compensator is employed to improve the frequency response and closed loop control of three-phase boost converter. The controller design procedure is discussed in detail. The effect of right-half plane zero in non-minimum phase system and the appropriate pole-zero placements to overcome the maximum phase lag in such system is discussed. The compensated closed loop system is tested for load variations to observe the transient response.

In this paper, a comparison is carried out between MPPT technique using a hybrid cascaded Fuzzy-PI Controller and Perturb and Observe (P&O) MPPT technique. The two techniques are compared in a system which consists of a photovoltaic system connected to a grid via a two-level three-phase inverter. The P&O and Fuzzy-PI techniques are examined under different weather conditions, namely, ramp change in irradiation level and ramp change in temperature levels. Disturbances represented by fluctuations in power demand from the utility grid is generated to assess the robustness of each of the two controllers. The Fuzzy-PI based MPPT, has proved its excellent tracking and robustness against abrupt perturbations. Simulations of the system performances using the two regulators are performed to validate the conceptual standings.

This paper presents a battery-less power supply using supercapacitor as energy storage powered by solar. In this study the supercapacitor as energy storage, as opposed to batteries, has widely researched in recent years. Supercapacitors act like other capacitors, but their advantage is having enormous power storage capabilities. Maximum charging voltage and capacitance are two variables of storage in the supercapacitor. The supercapacitor is used as energy storage to charge a low power device wirelessly and act as a power supply. The solar energy is used as a backup power supply if there is no electricity in the remote or isolated area to charge the supercapacitor. The time taken to charge the supercapacitor depend on the amount of current rating of the solar panel. The higher the current, the shorter the time taken to charges the supercapacitor. Power supply using supercapacitor can store up to 30 Vdc using a DC-DC boost converter.

Permanent magnet direct current motors (PMDCM) are widely used in various applications such as space technologies, personal computers, medical, military, robotics, electrical vehicles, etc. In this paper, the mathematical model of PMDCM is designed and simulated using MATLAB software. The PMDCM speed is controlled using rate feedback controller due to its ability of improving system damping. To improve the controller performance, it’s parameters are tuned using genetic algorithm (GA) and direct search (DS) techniques. The tuning process based on different performance criteria. The most four common performance criteria used in this paper are JIAE (Integral of Absolute Error), JISE (Integral of Square Error), JITAE (Integral of Time-Weighted Absolute Error), and JITSE (Integral of Time-Weighted Square Error). The results obtained from these evolutionary techniques are compared. The results show an obvious improvement in system performance including enhancing the transient and steady state of PMDCM speed responses for all performance criteria.

This paper proposes a simple and effective control technique for interconnection of DG resources to the power grid via interfacing converters based on Phase locked loop (PLL) and Droop control. The behaviour of a Microgrid (MG) system during the transition from islanded mode to grid-connected mode of operation has been studied. A dynamic phase shifted PLL technique is locally designed for generating phase reference of each inverter. The phase angle between filter capacitor voltage vector and d-axis is dynamically adjusted with the change in q-axis inverter current to generate the phase reference of each inverter. During fluctuations in load capacity, the grid-connected system must be able to supply balanced power from the utility grid side and micro-grid side. Therefore, droop control is implemented to maintain a balanced power sharing. The inverter operates in voltage control mode in order to control the filter capacitor voltage. An adjusted droop control method for equivalent load sharing of parallel connected Inverters, without any communication between individual inverters, has been presented. The control loops are tested with aid of MATLAB Simulink tool during several operating conditions.

Solar energy is renewable and environment friendly and has been widely used in electricity generation and thermal energy through photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system. This system is beneficial in terms of maximum energy generation and cost of usage. The growing concern on energy sources and their usage has increased the significance and demand for PVT collectors. A PVT air collector consists of a PV panel and a thermal collector system. In PVT air collector, electricity and thermal energy are generated simultaneously. This review focuses on efficiency and energy modelling for PVT air collector with extended heat transfer area. Findings of this review indicated that PVT air collector with extended heat transfer area produced PVT efficiency higher than conventional PVT air collector. The thermal efficiency of PVT air collector for with and without extended heat transfer area are 21-83% and 12-70%, respectively, which the improvement of thermal efficiency is 15.7-42.8%.
