<![CDATA[Batteries play a vital role in electrical equipments and electrical engineering tools. In addition, in vehicles, the duties of the battery is very important, both in providing initial start energy for conventional cars and movement energy for electric vehicles. Therefore, the batteries could be counted as one of the most important segments of the electric vehicles. The batteries used in vehicles have various types. The most utilized of which in vehicles are the lead-acid batteries. Due to the noticeable privileges of the lead-acid batteries, they have been widely used in vehicles. The battery of the system, which have been processed in this project, is a traction battery with 24V nominal voltage and 500Ahours nominal capacity. In this project, the Kalman filter method has been used in order to estimate the remaining amount of battery’s charge. Kalman filter is an algorithm that estimates the state of a dynamic system using a set of measurements including fault in a specific time period. Having implemented the Kalman filter to the dynamic model of the battery, an estimation of state of the charge (SOC) and battery parameters have been acquired. This operation was simulated in Matlab Simulink environment and the results of the simulation were compared with the real amounts of the parameters achieved from prior experiments to make sure about the accuracy of the results. In the designed software, a graphical environment has been developed in order to providing an appropriate interface and simplifying the software performance. The program can be easily implemented to a real battery and calculate the desired parameters.]]>

<![CDATA[Energy has been recognized as one of the most inputs for social and economic improvement and a clean energy is a challenge in the future. Therefore, renewable energy has become one of the most popular sources of energy. The solar energy, is one of this renewable energy, has the most propriety which is the durability. Due to its geographical location, Algeria has one of the world’s most important gas reserves, and has in addition one of the highest solar reservoirs in the world. Solar irradiation is an essential parameter for many applications such as the design and performance of renewable energy systems, but this is not always available, especially in remote locations. The prediction of solar irradiation values is often the only practical way to acquire these data. The objective of this work is to develop a model for the prediction of the Vertical Solar Irradiation (VSI) based on real meteorological data. This model is based on the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN).]]>

<![CDATA[in India to meet its future energy demand. This paper emphasis on the performance assessment of grid connected mega-watt solar power plant which is of 23MW and 5MW are located in different geographical location in India. Performance assessment is the finest way to determine the potential of energy generation in solar power plant and it also helps in evaluating the design, operation and maintenance of existing and future solar power plant. The parameters namely calculation of annual energy generated, reference yield, final yield, system losses, cell temperature losses, performance ratio and capacity utilization factor are considered in examining solar power plant performance. In this study experimental measurement of two solar power plant one is located in Gujarat (23MW) and another in Andhra Pradesh (5MW) are compared with the results of estimated model from METEONORM 7.1 and PVSYST V6.67 software tools. Experimental measurement at solar power plant location covers the following measurement for analysis like actual weather condition, daily/hourly irradiance, actual energy yield and compares with capacity utilization factor, performance ratio and temperature corrected performance ratio parameters. The results demonstrated in this paper show the gap between the actual performance of solar power plant and the estimated model from software tool. Performance of solar power plant is satisfactory in comparison with other literature reviews. The actual annual energy generated for 23MW solar power plant was 37991MWh, 18.83% capacity utilization factor, 73.87% performance ratio and 75.33% temperature corrected performance ratio. Similarly, the actual annual energy generated for 5MW solar power plant was 9047.7MWh, 18.41% capacity utilization factor, 80.31% performance ratio and 79.90% temperature corrected performance ratio.]]>

<![CDATA[In this paper, a wide area back-up protection (WABP) algorithm is presented based on phasor measurement units (PMUs) measurements placed across the transmission network. The proposed algorithm computes a selected index named as positive sequence power index (PSPI) to detect faults in the network. Firstly, the network is subdivided into back-up protection zones. For each zone, the PSPI index is computed as absolute the value of the difference between the positive sequence sent and received phasor powers across the terminals of the zone. For each zone, the PSPI is compared to a predefined threshold to detect faults. One of the contributions in this paper is the usage of mathematical formulation to set the threshold values for each zone rather than experimental trials usually used in previous literature. In addition, the algorithm doesn’t depend iterative solutions nor line parameters of the network as usually used in WABP schemes. These advantages enhance the degree of confidence in decisions of the algorithm and reduces computational burdens to trivial amount. The presented algorithm (Level-1) could be enhanced into (level-2) if PMUs are available on all buses and in such case, the faulty line could be detected directly in a single step. WSCC 9-bus system and NE 39-bus systems were considered to accomplish this study. Severe cases for series compensated lines were taken into consideration including voltage or current inversion. Simulation results emphasis on algorithm’s robustness and adaptability.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents an adaptive fault identification algorithm bases on wavelet packet transform (WPT) for two-terminal power transmission lines. The proposed scheme performs four functions which are the fault detection, fault classification, distinguishing among the temporary and the permanent faults, and detection of the arc extinguish instant. The presented algorithm only uses the measured current at one terminal reducing the required cost. Also, it can mitigate the error resulting from the load variations via updating the presetting value. Consequently, it does not need retesting under changing the transmission system configurations. The proposed scheme is deduced in the spectral domain and depended on the application of the WPT. The db6 wavelet packet is used for decomposing the faulty phase current waveform (level 7) to get the energy coefficients. The presented algorithm is assessed under various fault conditions such as fault distances, inception angles, and faults nature via simulating different secondary arc models via using ATP/EMTP. The obtained results are investigated and evaluated.]]>

<![CDATA[High costs of installation and maintenance as a result of storage units discourage the use of solar Photovoltaic system for power generation. To reduce these costs, Solar PV systems can be installed without storage units alongside conventional power generation systems. Such that the Solar systems cater for the daytime loads while the conventional generation system caters for loads at other times. This research paper explored the potential of installing Stand-Alone solar PV systems without storage to satisfy the daytime load demand of the Canaanland community. The load profile analysis of the Canaanland community was carried out from load consumption data and the solar power plants were designed based on this analysis. Simulation was carried out using the PV Syst 6.43 software and the result from the design was analyzed. The study revealed that the solar power plant will serve the daytime load of the community during the period of 10:30am-4:30pm daily satisfying the peak and base loads (5.16MW and 0.78MW) of the Canaanland community respectively.]]>

<![CDATA[In this paper, improved sonsorless direct power control (DPC) of three-phase rectifiers is presented. The new system are based on virtual flux (VF) and notch filter using Second Order Generalized Integrator frequency located loop SOGI-FLL estimator. In order to improve the VF-DPC performance of PWM rectifier, an improved observation method of virtual flux-linkage is proposed. To avoid the relevant problems of pure integrator, and to achieve the accurate observation of the grid voltage’s phase, (SOGI-FLL) are used to displace the pure integrator. Theoretical principles of this method are presented and discussed. These strategies are also investigated under disturbed grid voltage. A theoretical analysis of active and reactive power under a non-ideal source is clearly demonstrated. In order to calculate the compensated powers, the extraction of positive, negative, and harmonic sequences of voltage and current is needed and a multiple dual SOGI-FLL method is used for rapid and accurate extraction. It is shown that the VFDPC with integrating notch filter exhibits several advantages, particularly providing small ripple of DC-link voltage and sinusoidal line current when the supply voltage is not ideal.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper is an attempt to use the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) connected system to play an effective job in the regulation of the voltage and power of the power system besides its positive effect for the system frequency. A two area power system is used to measure the effectiveness of the proposed V2G scheme. The proposed system is tested under the step load change condition and three phase short system case. A comparison between the system with proposed V2G schemes and that system without V2Gs is carried out showing the importance of the presence of the V2G schemes on system frequency, terminal voltage and total power. MATLAB /SIMULINK software package is used as a test environment.]]>

<![CDATA[In this work, we present a comparative study between space vector modulation (SVM) and fuzzy pulse width modulation (FPWM) technique in neuro-sliding mode control (NSMC) of stator reactive and stator active power control of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) for wind turbine system (WTS). Two controls approach using NSMC-SVM and NSMC-FPWM control scheme are proposed and compared. The validity of the proposed control techniques is verified by simulation tests of a DFIG. The reactive power, rotor current and stator active power is determined and compared in the above strategies. The obtained results showed that the proposed NSMC with FPWM strategy has stator reactive and active power with low powers ripples and low rotor current harmonic distortion than SVM technique.]]>
