Abstract

In modern days, renewable sources increase the independence of urban energy infrastructures from remote sources and grids. In renewable energy systems (RES) systems, batteries are frequently used to close the power gap between the power supply and the load demand. Due to the variable behavior of RES and the fluctuating power requirements of the load, batteries frequently experience repeated deep cycles and uneven charging patterns. The battery's lifespan would be shortened by these actions, and increase the replacement cost. This research provides an effective control method for a solar-wind model with a battery-supercapacitor hybrid energy storage system in order to extend battery’s lives expectancy by lowering intermittent strain and high current need. Unlike traditional techniques, the suggested control scheme includes a low-pass filter (LPF) and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). To begin, LPF reduces the fluctuating aspects of battery consumption. FLC lowers the battery's high current need while continuously monitoring the supercapacitor's level of charge. The moth flame optimization (MFO) optimizes the FLC's membership functions to get the best peak current attenuation in batteries. The proposed model is compared to standard control procedures namely rule based controller and filtration-based controller. When compared to the conventional system, the suggested method significantly reduces peak current and high power of the battery. Furthermore, when compared to standard control procedures, the suggested solution boosts supercapacitor utilization appreciably.

Abstract

Incorporating photovoltaic (PV) systems to grids have developed into an obvious alternative for many countries, those results in harmonics issues for the utility operators. Harmonics arises due to extensive utilization of power-electronic components during incorporation of PV to grid. Harmonic deformation has traditionally been taken care of by the relevance of passive filter. Active filters have come up as an alternative choice over passive ones for reduction of harmonic due to existence of several advantages in comparison to previous filter. The application of controllers is the most significant aspect of using an active filter. Various investigations are beneath development to progress performance of the filters. Control of capacitor voltage is among the major regulation requirement for the filter. Here, regulation of voltage is carried on by fuzzy-controller. The article represents compensation of harmonic currents of a grid integrated PV-system by application of fuzzy-controller placed active filter. One of the important control requirements of filter is the regulation of DC link up capacitor voltage. Here the voltage supervision of capacitor is being done using PI controller. The paper shows current harmonics compensation of PV grid connected system using PI controller based active filter. Simulating results are revealed that shows the harmonics are contained inside IEEE limits.

Abstract

Efforts to achieve swift and precise dynamic torque control have been central in AC drive research. Recent advancements in embedded computer systems have highlighted direct torque control (DTC) and field-oriented control (FOC) as key methods for enhancing torque dynamics, both utilizing space vector modulation (SVM) to optimize voltage source inverter positioning. This study introduces a novel synthesis by integrating DTC with SVM to address limitations in conventional DTC, which suffers from limited voltage vector availability, leading to undesirable torque behavior and significant current fluctuations. The primary goal is to develop an optimal switching modulator for the fastest torque response through the combined application of DTC and SVM. The proposed strategy optimizes DC bus usage, reduces torque fluctuations, minimizes total harmonic distortion in AC motor current, decreases switching losses, and ensures seamless digital system integration. Simulations using MATLAB/SIMULINK demonstrate significant torque, current, and flux linkage ripple reductions, validating the approach's effectiveness. This integration overcomes established limitations, extending the capabilities of motor control methodologies and offering enhanced performance and operational integrity in induction motor drive systems.

Abstract

This paper presents a new control scheme for a boost DC–AC converter which is used for solar power applications. The proposed DC-AC converter configuration can produce an AC voltage level across the output or load side greater than input DC voltage based on the operating duty cycle. Generally, the conventional DC-AC converter or voltage source inverter (VSI) generates AC voltage which is less than input DC voltage. Maintaining a constant voltage across the load with improved dynamic performance is challenging for anyone for the solar photovoltaic (PV) system. A dual-loop sliding mode control is proposed for the boost VSI to address the above issues. The proposed controller has robust in nature against the wide fluctuation in the plant or load parameters. The design, analysis and control of the boost DC-AC converter are briefly discussed in this paper. This topology can be broadly used in solar powered uninterruptible power supply (UPS) where boosting operation is essential for low voltage solar PV system. This topology eliminates the DC boosting power processing stage which leads an improved efficiency of the overall system. The MATLAB/Simulink results are presented to highlight the above issues.

Abstract

Recent power system is structurally difficult and is vulnerable to undesirable conditions like transmission faults. In this event of transmission line faults, exact fault zone detection enhances the restoration process, thus improving reliability of the complete power system. In order to solve the above problem, this paper presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based fault zone detector, which combines artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy logic technique (FLT) in six phase overhead transmission lines (SPOTL). To overcome the limitation of ANN and fuzzy expert system (FES) architectures and, the selection work has been formulated as an optimization method and solved using ANFIS. The inputs are the zero sequence component currents at the middle bus of the transmission line. The training data are extracted using discrete Fourier transform and collected, and then ANFIS is trained to identify the fault zone. The ANFIS based scheme reach setting has been checked for various types of faults, with a wide range of faults and transmission line parameters. Simulation study ensure that this method has a high reach setting, does not require the design of communication channel. Further, the ANFIS study shows that ANFIS is suitable for all type of faults. The ANFIS significantly outperforms other techniques proposed in the literature in terms of various evaluation metrics.

Abstract

Steady state performances of the electric power distribution system are normally assessed or evaluated based on load flow analysis. To properly carry out the analysis, a valid steady state load flow model of each distribution system component, including the wind power plant (WPP), needs to be developed. The present paper proposes a method for modeling and integrating squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG)-based variable speed WPP into a three-phase unbalanced distribution system load flow (DSLF) analysis. The proposed method is based on a single-phase T-circuit model of fixed speed WPP, which has successfully been applied to balanced electric power systems. In the present work, the single-phase T-circuit model is extended and modified to be used in steady state load flow analysis of three-phase unbalanced distribution systems embedded with SCIG-based variable speed WPP. Results of the case studies confirm the validity of the proposed method.
