Abstract

The current condition, in Karimunjawa Island, is supplied by diesel power with a total power output of 400kW. The number of households in this island is 1545, while the number of electricity customers as many as 850 homes with the local electrification ratio of 55%. With such high load electrification, the generator is only operated from 05.00pm-06.00pm every day to limit the operating costs. Methodology used was the determination of the size of the PV generator capacity based on the percentage of daily generation. The selection of conversion technology with hybrid concept synergizes photovoltaic to be combined with diesel. Loading simulations are performed with HOMER application that provides a variety of features on a variety of configurations and scenarios designed.The first scenario is in the form of giving additional capacity by using the power of 100kW of PV system and at peak load by adding the duration of the day with 5 hours, it is obtained the production of PV of 800kWh/day with the selling price of $ 3,900;/kWh. The second scenario is in the form of giving additional capacity by using the power of 100kW of PV system at noon for 10 hours and during peak load, it gains total value production of PV with1400kWh/day and distributed to system with a selling price of Rp 3,867/kWh.

Abstract

Since Gencos and Discos compete primarily based on the price in a deregulated market, minimizing the losses or regulating the voltage or controlling the power flow within the rating of power system components such as cables, transformers, transmission lines become extremely difficult. Recent developments in FACTS devices increases the number of constraints and nonlinearity, and henceachieving the optimal solution becomes further complicated. The Optimal Power Flow Problem, determines the best way to operate a power system at any given instant. It solves the power system load flow with an aim to optimize system operating conditions while automatically adjusting control variable settings without violating the system operating constraints. In this paper such constraints based OPF scheme is developed and presented which also incorporates various Flexible AC Transmission Devices. In this work three different types of FACTS devices namely SVC, TCSC, UPFC are separately included into the OPF problem in addition to the conventional constraints that govern an OPF solution. An IEEE 30 bus system is considered and the results obtained for three different loading conditions with three different FACTS devices and their performance are evaluated.

Abstract

The paper presents an improved predictive direct control of a variable speed. The method is based on finite states space model of the converter. The proposed control method selects the optimal switching state of (Indirect Converter with and without energy storage for rectified and inverter) that minimizes the error between orthogonal torque, fluxs, and the reactive power components predictions to their computed values for all different voltage vectors. The optimal voltage vector that minimizes a cost function is then applied to the output of the power converter. The main aim of this paper is to propose an online optimization of the weighting factors by the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach well known by its robustness and fast convergence to the global optimum. Simulation results show that PSO strategy is very efficient to design accurately and quickly these weighting factors.

Abstract

Polymer properties can be experimentally tailored by adding small amounts of different nanoparticles to enhance its mechanical, thermal and electrical properties; thus, it has been widely anticipated that the combination of nanoparticles with traditional resin systems. This paper has been studied the enhancement and controlling electric and dielectric properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE), and high density polyethylene (HDPE) polymer materials by cost-fewer nanoparticles. Certain percentages of clay and fumed silica nanoparticles have been enhanced electric and dielectric properties of polyethylene nanocomposite films. Dielectric spectroscopy has been measured the electric and dielectric properties of each polyethylene nanocomposite with and without nanoparticles at various frequencies up to1kHz under different thermal conditions (20oC and 60oC). Also, it has been investigated the optimum types and percentages of cost-fewer nanoparticles for enhancing electric and dielectric characterization at low and high temperatures.

Abstract

This paper presents an efficient methodology to detect the fault occurrence and its tolerance of four switch voltage source inverter in a single Xilinx Spartan 3E Field   Pro-grammable Gate Array (FPGA). The merit of this proposed system reduces the time period between fault existence and its isolation with four switches in two legs instead of six switches in three legs so as to minimize the switching losses, accuracy, and better recovery time. The FPGA platform supports the run-time reconfiguration of control functions and algorithms directly in hardware and meets hard real-time performance criteria in terms of timings for SVPWM generation, fault detection time and fault tolerance time. Simulation and Experimental results of this proposed system is demonstrated and verified.
