Abstract

The reaching law approach is broadly used for chattering repression, minimization of steady state error and reaching pace kept minimsed. The reasons of chattering, in this paper proposes sliding mode reaching law. In one hand, they assurance the scheme arrives at the sliding face swiftly and stay on it, in another way they deteriorate the chattering inefficiently, even matchless certainties and disturbances. This proposed reaching law gives uniqueness of the response. The reaching law is compared with Gao’s reaching law. Sliding mode reaching laws gives the efficacy in reducing the chattering of the variable structure control (VSC). This reaching law also reduces the losses in the switching diplomacy. In turns efficiency of the step-down converter increases. Simulation results give significant decrease of chattering and extremely fewer receptive in supply and load variation.

Abstract

Available transfer capability (ATC) is an important metric used to measure the techno-economic viability of the transmission networks. Several methods have been presented in literature for ATC assessment, however, only some few articles incorporate CBM in ATC calculation and those few papers only considered conventional power generation sources in CBM evaluation. CBM is a function of the reliability of generating units. This paper presents the inter-area CBM calculation in the presence of wind energy source using graph theory technique and the results are incorporated in ATC computation using repeated power flow. CBM is incorporated in ATC computation as non-recallable and recallable power transfers. The results with and without CBM incorporation, in the presence of wind power system, are compared. The contribution of the paper is to study the influence of wind power (WP) integrated CBM on ATC evaluation. The results showed that the incorporation of CBM, in the presence of renewable energy, has a significant influence on ATC, without which ATC would be inaccurately estimated. Simulations using IEEE 24-Bus RTS is used to implement the proposed approach. This approach can be employed by transmission operators to assess the technoeconomic viability of the power network for possible power transactions.

Abstract

To ensure enhanced reliability and availability of electricity to consumers, grid-connected photovoltaic systems need to improve their power quality, this paper uses a three-phase five levels cascaded H-bridge inverter in grid-connected mode to improve the flexibility and efficiency of the photovoltaic system. Each photovoltaic (PV) array in the proposed system has a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) to extract the PV array maximum power point for a particular irradiance and temperature and reduce the mismatch that causes an imbalance in the power sent from the inverter to the main grid. The fuzzy logic controller is used to tune the proportional-integral (PI) controller to regulate the current and voltage of the grid-connected inverter by changing the gain of the PI controller (Kp, Ki) to obtain a fast response and improve the power quality of the system despite different load disturbances and inputs. The system was simulated in MATLAB/Simulink, and the results show the superiority of the proposed control unit, in which a pure and stable sine output voltage and current waveforms. Finally, the total harmonic distortion (THD) is improved to reach 3.81% based on the fuzzy PI controller, while 7.77% is based on the PI controller.

Abstract

The output generated by photovoltaic arrays is influenced mainly by the irradiance, which has non-uniform distribution in a day. This has resulted in the current-limiting nature and nonlinear output characteristics, and conventional protection devices cannot detect and clean faults appropriately. This paper proposes a low-cost model for a multi-scale dual-stage photovoltaic fault detection, classification, and monitoring technique developed through MATLAB/Simulink. The main contribution of this paper is that it can detect multiple common faults, be applied on multi-scale photovoltaic arrays regardless of environmental conditions, and be beneficial for photovoltaic system maintenance work. The experimental results show that the developed algorithm using supervised learning algorithms mutual with k-fold cross-validation has produced good performances in identifying six common faults of photovoltaic arrays, achieved 100% accuracy in fault detection, and achieved good accuracy in fault classification. Challenges and suggestions for future research direction are also suggested in this paper. Overall, this study shall provide researchers and policymakers with a valuable reference for developing photovoltaic system fault detection and monitoring techniques for better feasibility, safety, and energy sustainability.

Abstract

Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is a popular technique in the field of variable frequency induction motor drives. It gives better working and good direct current bus utilization in comparison to the sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) method. However, it decreases harmonic fluctuations and generates high common mode voltage (CMV) fluctuations, which results in common mode currents inside the motor. Hence, the performance of the motor may be deteriorated. To reduce the CMV, this paper presents a family of active zero state PWM (AZSPWM) methods using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system (ANFIS). The proposed approach uses a five-layer hybrid learning algorithm for training the network. The training data is obtained from the classical SVPWM method. To analyze the proposed PWM methods, simulation is carried out using MATLAB and evaluated.

Abstract

This research examines an admissible search algorithm-dependent A-star strategy and takes into account redundancy and cost/benefit analysis under normal operating conditions. The goal is to allocate a phasor measurement unit (PMU) for maximal observability of the interconnected power network. To determine the fewest number of PMU required to make the connected power network totally observable using redundancy analysis, the A-star approach is utilized. The redundancy analysis of the power network is carried out in order to determine the appropriate PMU placement, which results in the acquisition of total power network observability and reliability. To put the suggested technique through its paces, it has been tested on IEEE-standard test systems such as IEEE-14 bus, IEEE-30 bus, New England-39 bus, IEEE-57 bus, and IEEE-118 bus. The results obtained using the suggested methodology are compared to those obtained through standard literature research. The experimental findings of the suggested method revealed the resilience and accuracy of the A-star algorithm as well as its effectiveness in achieving maximum observability of the connected power network.

Abstract

The utilization of renewable energy sources is being pushed by both greater environmental consciousness and expanding demand. Recently, solar photovoltaic technology has found increased use for a broader range of applications. This may be ascribed to solar energy's extensive availability as well as its long-term viability and low cost. According to the global photovoltaic (PV) industry, 594 gigawatts (GW) of PV capacity were installed in 2019, with the objective of replacing conventional source-based generating facilities. The major problem in PV production, however, is identifying the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) systems that are currently in use to compute peak output. For 1240 W PV power plants, this article compares perturb & observe MPPT approaches with incremental conductance MPPT techniques. The MATLAB Simulink program was utilized to conduct the study, which was based on many factors such as voltage, current, and output power under various weather conditions. When these MPPT algorithms are applied to solar trackers, the efficiency, reaction time, and steady-state oscillations all improve.
