Abstract

The stability and the fast response are two parameters to evaluate the efficiency of any system, and the acknowledgement of the mathematic model studied and its parameters are strongly required. In order to build the regulation and the control of the system, different methods are used. Some are traditional (PI, PD, PID…); whereas, others are modern (Fuzzy logic, neural networks, statistical algorithms, genetic algorithms, VGPI and so on…).In this paper, we focused on the presentation of a new method which we call the scheduling regulation based on a particle swarm optimization. A stochastic diffusion search method that takes inspiration from the social behaviors of real ants with their environment. Ant colony optimization algorithms (ACO) presents a promising performance which is a self-organized regulation system with no need to the acknowledgment of both the mathematic model and the parameters of the systems from a side, and it can insure the stability and the fast response of the system from another side.

Abstract

A single fuel cell (FC) produces a very small voltage of about 0.6 -0.8 V under normal operating condition, and hence several individual cells are connected in series as a stack to get higher voltages suitable for practical loads. The stacks are then connected in series to get required values of DC voltage. The FC performance varies with the operating parameters such as temperature, humidity, fuel flow rate, ageing and fuel non uniform concentration. The FC stack underperforms when there is presence of bad cell in it. The Presence bad cell in a stack limits the current handling capacity of other healthy cells when it’s connected as a conventional single stack. This can be overcome by connecting the fuel cells in uniform modular cell configuration. In this paper a Uniform Modular Cell Configuration (UMCC) is proposed to gain the maximum power from the stack and the conventional Single or Uni Stack Configuration (USC) is compared with the proposed structure. A detail mathematical analysis of comparing both methods is described. Further the superiority of the proposed method is proven by carrirying out the simulations under steady state operating condition of a FC stack feeding to a constant current load.

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to generalize the main results of [1] and subsequent papers on metric Diophantine approximation with dependent quantities to the set-up of systems of linear forms. In particular, we establish “joint strong extremality” of arbitrary finite collection of smooth nondegenerate submani- folds of .The proof was based on quantitative nondivergence estimates for quasi-polynomial flows on the space of lattices.

Abstract

The paper takes the improvement of the performance for an OWC converter from the mechanical side. A FEM model of the OWC conversion structure was proposed, studied and simulated using a CFD simulator. A novel wave generation method was applied through the RWMD method (Real Wave Model Simulator) instead of using an ordinary sin wave generator on the tank to make the waves the closest possible to the real sea waves. A mechanical prototype was built for this purpose to get an oscillated wave model. On the electrical side, a pitch angle control system based on fuzzy set was applied on the turbine to be auto-adapted for the fast variation of the airflow speed to establish and maximize the extracted power from the OWC device. The model have been studied, simulated, implemented and tested to validate the obtained results.

Abstract

This paper presents a maximum power generation with the interconnection of photovoltaic modules under partially shaded and/or mismatching conditions. The partial shading condition reduces power level of each module. The reduction in power due to the partial shading will be compensated by the bidirectional converter. The proposed system consisting of two and three PV modules connected in series under partial shading conditions which are capable of increasing the power levels up to 50% compared to conventional by-pass diode structure. In general ‘n’ number of modules connected in series so that the maximum power gain will be expected to (100/n) %. This is achieved by developing the new control strategy in which the correct adjustment of converter duty ratio under partially shading conditions. The novel control scheme is developed by using analysis of the power converters. The proposed scheme was verified in MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Abstract

Alternate energy source becomes a crucial for green energy solution against ever increasing demand. Dye Sensitized solar cell is another promising option toward green energy providing opportunity to explore natural dye extracts from plants. This review explores recent developments in the field of Dye Sensitized solar cell technology specifically with sensitizer synthesized from plants which are also found in India. Anthocyanin, betalain, chlorophyll and carotenoids are among the most common plant pigments explored as sensitizers. The review of different attempts on fabrication of natural dye based solar cells implies that titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano particles can be used as photoanode, platinum (Pt) as counter electrode and iodine/iodide electrolyte. Plant pigments are highly pH sensitive and can alter solar cell performance based on its extraction method, concentration and its ability to anchor with photoanode. Stability of dye, absorption in near IR range and leakage of liquid electrolyte are few of the challenges ahead. However, natural dye is biodegradable and non-toxic having most of the extraction process harmless to environment. In addition, natural dye has the promising future as it is abundant.

Abstract

This paper presents a new approach based on the genetic algorithm (GA) and Bacterial Foraging (BF) is used to perform a constrained tuning technique for the PID parameters to optimize the power output of solar panel. A small-signal model is used to design the controller parameters of the conventional PID controller. The dynamics of the converter is non linear, therefore, it is hard to derive desirable performance. So hybrid algorithm is used to optimize the control parameters of boost converter. In order to obtain the fitness of an individual, Simulink model of the boost converter is designed and the hybrid algorithm is programmed to design the optimal control parameters. It was found that the proposed optimal PID controller parameters adjustment by the GA-BF algorithm is superior to the conventional method. The Matlab/Simulink was used to verify the effectiveness of proposed control method.

Abstract

This paper aims at improving voltage profile and reducing the losses of active and reactive powers. The impact of wind turbines on voltage profile and power losses in critical buses is evaluated. Wind turbines, reactive power resources, i.e. thyristor-switched series capacitors, are connected to the network in mentioned states. In this study different conditions are individually and simultaneously considered with/without the wind turbines and thyristor-switched series capacitors in normal states of the network. Next, voltage profile, active power, reactive power, and the network losses are dealt with in the presence/absence of wind turbines and thyristor-switched series capacitors considering a sudden fault occurred in one power line, and the simulation results are compared with each other. The results indicate that using thyristor-switched capacitors together with the wind farm can provide enough active and reactive power for the network which increases the network capacity and decreases its losses using genetic algorithms.

Abstract

The renewed quest for situational awareness in power systems has brought about the use of digital signal processing of power system measurements, and the transmission of such data to control centres via communication networks. At the control centres, power system stability algorithms are executed to provide monitoring, protection, and control in order to prevent blackouts. This can be achieved by upgrading the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems through the deployment of newly proposed power system synchrophasor-based applications for Wide Area Monitoring, Protection, and Control (WAMPAC). However, this can only be done when there is a complete understanding of the methods and technologies associated with the communication network, message structure, and formats required. This paper presents an analysis of the IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor message framework, message formats, and data communication of synchrophasor measurements from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for WAMPAC schemes in smart grids. A newly designed lab-scale testbed is implemented and used in the practical experimentation relating to this paper. Synchrophasor measurements from the PMUs are captured using a network protocol analyzer software-Wireshark, and the compliance of the synchrophasor message structures and formats captured was compared to the specifications defined in the IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor standard.

Abstract

Now a day’s Energy plays a vital role in every sector like agriculture, industry, transport, commercial and domestic. Energy is the primary key for development of the country. Only two types are sources for energy generations are presents that are Non Renewable and Renewable Sources. But due to climate change and fossil fuel depletion renewable sources are becoming major reason for focusing for energy generation. Renewable Energy (RE) generation is useful to decrease pollution, global warming etc. Although the high cost of the renewable energy generation is the main barrier in this field but there are many schemes which plays a very important role in this field. These policies encourage the consumer to used renewable sources for energy. This paper introduces the main energy challenges in India and different types of energy policies existing to overcome that challenges. What the institutional programs presenting in India for energy policies are.
