Abstract

This paper deals the power control for three-level voltage source inverter NPC-VSI feeds the rotor of the doubly fed induction generator ‘DFIG’ based wind power generation system. This converter allows controlling the rotor voltage in magnitude and phase angle with a high flexibility and can therefore be used for active and reactive power control of DFIG. The control is especially designed to reduce the harmonic distortion of the generated currents and active power ripples of the classical control. In addition, it’s convenient for high power drive and variable speed generator applications with constant switching frequency. The detailed operation principle and simulation results for 3 MW of DFIG are also discussed.

Abstract

The sunshine hours and solar radiation data for Ibadan (7° 30´ N, 3° 54´ E.), South West Nigeria in the last twenty years was analyzed, with a view to determining the abundance of solar energy available for deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology applications. The measured solar radiation and actual sunshine hour data were obtained from International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan. The data were analyzed using the statistical package of „origin 7‟ software. The maximum of 16.1MJm-2day-1 and minimum of 10.71MJm-2day-1 occurred in months of May and August respectively while the actual sunshine hour variation follows the same general trend but with the maximum of 6.99hrs in February and a minimum of 2.37hrs in August. At the current solar-to-electric conversion efficiency of 10%, the minimum solar radiation of 10.71MJm-2day-1 can supply a 1.0m2 solar panel a minimum of 44.6KWhr of Energy. Thus an abundance of solar energy has been established at Ibadan which in recent times has been witnessing incessant power outages from the national grid and thereby can contribute significantly to efforts in improving power supply mix. This implies that solar energy technology can thrive not only at Ibadan but in the whole of South West of Nigeria. Evidence of viability of PV technology in this area also abounds in the success of Solar Water Pumping stations recently installed by Government Agencies such as Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority (ORBDA) and the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) programmes in the area and environs.

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present the design of an adaptive neuro-controller for series connected FACTS devices like Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Thyristor controlled Power Angle Regulator (TCPAR). This control scheme is suitable for non-linear system control, in which the exact linearised mathematical model of the system is not required. The proposed controller design is based on Real Time Recurrent Learning (RTRL) algorithm in which the Neural Network (NN) is trained in real time. This control scheme requires two sets of neural networks. The first set is a neuro-identifier and the second set is a neurocontroller which generates the required control signals for the thyristors. Performance of the system is analysed with the proposed controller using standard simulation environments like MATLAB/SIMULINK and it has been observed that the controlleris robust and the response is very fast. Performance of the system with proposed controller is compared with conventional PI controllers and GA based PI controllers. Performace of the proposed controller is extremely good.

Abstract

In industrial drives, random pulse width modulation (RPWM) is triumph for transferring of harmonic power from the detached spectrum of the output voltage to the unremitting spectrum, and offers the merits viz. The operation is free from an unpleasant acoustic noise and a mechanical vibration. The main objective of this paper is providing a comprehensive investigation of performance of random pulse position pulse width modulation (RPPPWM) for a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) fed induction motor drives. RPPWM scheme randomly varies the pulse position in every switching cycle, where the idea is inducing the random characteristics in the PWM pulses at fixed switching frequency. The competence in spreading the harmonic power of sinusoidal PWM (SPWM), random carrier PWM (RCPWM) and the RPPWM are compared using simulation. The results are corroborated through the prototype VSI designed. The developed RPPPWM based on a SPARTAN-6 FPGA (XC6SLX45) device, disperses the acoustic switching noise spectra of an induction motor drive

Abstract

This article proposes a high efficient DC-DC step-up converter with a single switch. This is particularly suited for Photo Voltaic (PV) applications, automotive applications, battery operated vehicles etc., in which voltage is step up from 10V to 500V. This converter operates at 100 kHz due to which switching losses are comparatively high. This topology proposes a scheme to mitigate power losses across the switch and to achieve high efficiency by Zero Current Switching (ZCS) at “Turn ON and Turn OFF” states. Proposed converter uses a single switch to reduce the losses in the converter and observed 98% of overall efficiency in the converter. The proposed converter is verified by its experimental results.
