When designing a power generation project from a different source, and in our case study, wind, when calculating the annual energy produced, it is necessary to define and calculate the losses incurred in the system. The main cause of losses in a wind park is due to the oscillations caused by the turbulence of the air around the turbine because of roughness of terrain. The paper describes two methods of estimating turbulence intensity: one based on the mean and standard deviation (SD) of wind speed from the nacelle anemometer, the other from mean power output and its SD. These analyses are very important for understanding the fatigue and mechanical stress on the wind turbines. Then significance of the site ruggedness index (RIX) and the associated performance indicator (ΔRIX) are confirmed for terrain and the consequences of applying WAsP outside its operating envelope are quantified.

In this paper, an adaptive anti-windup control strategy for permanent magnet synchronous generator dedicated for wind energy conversion systems. The proposed control has the advantage to suppress the performance deterioration caused by the overshooting phenomenon, and optimize the controller gains using the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The scheme of the speed controller is implemented on field orientation control in the generator side converter. A simulation of the proposed scheme is carried out in SIMULINK-MATLAB in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the control against the saturation and the parameter optimization.

Scheduling of tasks based on real time requirement is a major issue in the heterogeneous multicore systemsfor micro-grid power management . Heterogeneous multicore processor schedules the serial tasks in the high performance core and parallel tasks are executed on the low performance cores. The aim of this paper is to implement a scheduling algorithm based on fuzzy logic for heterogeneous multicore processor for effective micro-grid application. Real – time tasks generally have different execution time and dead line. The main idea is to use two fuzzy logic based scheduling algorithm, first is to assign priority based on execution time and deadline of the task. Second , the task which has assigned higher priority get allotted for execution in high performance core and remaining tasks which are assigned low priority get allotted in low performance cores. The main objective of this scheduling algorithm is to increase the throughput and to improve CPU utilization there by reducing the overall power consumption of the micro-grid power management systems. Test cases with different task execution time and deadline were generated to evaluate the algorithms using MATLAB software.

Solar energy is a natural source of energy and is tremendously abundant. The concept of floating solar is to fulfil and to support the existing energy supply in order to enhance the human life. The floating solar exploits the massive availability of ocean region and the severe unavailability of land. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential of floating solar to be deployed in coastal or infield in Malaysia. It was predicted that such system could generate around 14,530 MWh per annum in Malaysia. It can be concluded that floating solar could be one of the most important ocean structures in the future because it is reliable, flexible and has virtually low cost production comparing with other ocean structures

The inherent benefit of the induction heating system leads to usage in the domestic applications. The design part of the coil has to be accurately manipulated to have highly qualified system. Discussion on the customisation of the coil and the converter section is elaborated such that the design relaying on the load variation, type of coil, rating required for the specified application. Thus the paper discusses about the design requirement on the domestic induction applications, depicting the criteria to be satisfied and the results are verified using the AC-AC converter fed induction heating system with the help of the equivalent circuit of the working coil and the work piece.

This paper discusses various aspects of a single-ended primary inductance DC-DC converter (SEPIC). The focus is on design, modelling, and simulation results of a SEPIC converter. The study analyses the principle of SEPIC operation when operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM). Additionally, the mathematical equations for the design modules are calculated as per converter requirements. State-space equations are used to formulate the state-space model of the SEPIC converter. To satisfy the best-performance criterion of the system, the parameters for controller (Kp, Ki, Kd) should be tuned or optimized using the genetic algorithm (GA) optimization technique. Controller parameters are determined using an objective function that minimises the integral time absolute error (ITAE). Simulations performed on a closed-loop system reveal that the step response with a PID controlled based GA displayed superior performance. A closed-loop system has a substantially bigger stability region compared to an open-loop system. The simulation optimised performance metrics like maximum overshoot percentage (Mp), rise time (tr), and settling time (ts). MATLAB/Simulink R2018a® and m-file code are used for the system modelling, simulation, and optimization of the PID controller parameters based on the GA.

Temporary voltage swells and sags appear with high frequency in electric power systems, and they significantly affect sensitive loads such as industrial manufacturing or communication devices. This paper presents a strategy to design proportional-resonant controllers for three full-bridge voltage-source converters with a common DC-link in dynamic voltage restorer systems. The proposed controllers allow the system to quickly overcome temporary unbalanced voltage sags. Simulation results carried out in MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results implemented in a Typhoon HIL402 device demonstrate the ability of the proposed design method. The results show that the system with the proposed controllers can ride-through single-phase or double-phase voltage sags up to 55% and three-phase voltage sags up to 70% in a duration less than one grid-voltage cycle.

This manuscript deals with the simulation of AC - DC Zeta converter for high power drive application with greater efficiency, lesser losses and power factor correction. It involves simpler control circuitry with less external components. The explanation of Fundamental function of Zeta converter is given in this paper. To condense the harmonic content the PI, PID and Fuzzy Logic controller are used. The operation of Zeta converter in open loop, closed loop is obtained. Closed loop system of zeta converter proves better performance over open loop system. Open and closed loop circuits are simulated by using MATLAB simulink. By giving disturbance in closed loop and open loop systems, feat of Zeta converter is compared.

This paper deals with a comparative study of circle criterion based nonlinear observer and H∞ observer for induction motor (IM) drive. The advantage of the circle criterion approach for nonlinear observer design is that it directly handles the nonlinearities of the system with less restriction conditions in contrast of the other methods which attempt to eliminate them. However the H∞ observer guaranteed the stability taking into account disturbance and noise attenuation. Linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization approach is used to compute the gains matrices for the two observers. The simulation results show the superiority of H∞ observer in the sense that it can achieve convergence to the true state, despite the nonlinearity of model and the presence of disturbance.

2-coil non-radiative wireless power transfer (WPT) is studied to find the coil diameter ratio to effective distance of power transfer efficiency (PTE). Single circular coil and spiral coil are designed and simulated using CST software to compare the result of coil diameter versus effective distance of PTE by using S21 value. Accordingly, the quality factor (Q) of both coils are presented as Q factor is one of the parameter that affect the performance of WPT system. The result is promising as the effective distance is more than the coil diameter with (PTE) more than 50% using spiral coil as compare to single coil design.
