<![CDATA[This paper focus on distribution system by applying different control techniques in order to improve the performance of the system. In the distribution system mainly concentrate on power quality issues like reactive power control, harmonic elimination, power factor correction, etc. Because of power quality problems voltage, current, frequency are continuously changing in power systems. These changes will effects the performance of power systems. Power quality problems can be compensated by placing DSTATCOM which is connected at PCC in parallel. It is shunt connected VSI along with the filters, with the help of DSTATCOM voltage sag, swell and THD can be controlled. This paper presents detailed explanation about performance and configuration of latest control techniques to control the DSTATCOM.]]>

<![CDATA[Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed in the present study using ANSYS Fluent 18.0, a commercially available CFD package, to characterize the behaviour of the new HAWT. Static three-dimensional CFD simulations were conducted. The static torque characteristics of the turbine and the simplicity of design highlight its suitability for the GE 1.5xle turbine. The major factor for generating the power through the HAWT is the velocity of air and the position of the blade angle in the HAWT blade assembly. The study presents the effect of The blade is 43.2 meters long and starts with a cylindrical shape at the root and then transitions to the airfoils S818, S825 and S826 for the root, body and tip, respectively. This blade also has pitch to vary as a function of radius, giving it a twist and the pitch angle at the blade tip is 4 degrees. This blade was created to be similar in size to a GE 1.5xle turbine by Cornell University [1]. In addition, note that to represent the blade being connected to a hub, the blade root is offset from the axis of rotation by 1 meter. The hub is not included in our model. The experimental analysis of GE 1.5xle turbine, so that possible the result of CFD analysis can be compared with theoretical calculations. CFD workbench of ANSYS is used to carry out the virtue simulation and testing. The software generated test results are validated through the experimental readings. Through this obtainable result will be in the means of maximum constant power generation from HAWT.]]>

<![CDATA[In inverters’ pulse width modulation techniques (PWM) the Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) is a smart contestant due to its direct control in nature with variables which provide the straight forward finds to each inverter switching vector. The industrial drives are acquainting to use SVPWM owing extended speed –torque region operations. However, the extended SVPWM operation is uses much mathematical calculation to predict the switching on-times, which demands high digital platform. In order to reduce this calculation in this paper a simple on-time calculation based SVPWM is proposed. The proposed SVPWM is developed for three-level multilevel inverter and the space perspective of vector analysis are established and explained. The over modulation enhances the proper power utilization capacity of voltage source inverter thereby improve the inverter output voltage and load. This proposed method tailed the similar mathematical practice as conventional two-level SVPWM for calculating sector identification and triangle determination. The approach finds the circular and hexagonal boundary on-time based on the straightforward reference vector position identification and calculates directly the switching pulse patterns for the inverter devices using an expression based on the definition of the duty cycle. The performance of the proposed SVM is simulated by MATLAB 11.b simulation software and validated with laboratory setup 2 kW, 12 switch neutral point clamped (NPC)-MLI fed 1.5 HP squirrel cage 3-phase induction motor open loop v/f control drive. The simulation and experimental results are closure and confirming the advantages of the proposed SVM method. The proposed scheme can be extended to n-level inverter and also applicable to cascaded H-bridge topology.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to propose an optimal controller for controlling the speed of the Direct Current (DC) motor. Based on the mathematical equations of DC Motor, the author builds the equations of the state space model and builds the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller to minimize the error between the set speed and the response speed of DC motor. The results of the proposed controller are compared with the traditional controllers as the PID, the feed-forward controller. The simulation results show that the quality of the control system in the case of LQR controller is much higher than the traditional controllers. The response speed always follows the set speed with the short conversion time, there isn't overshoot. The response speed is almost unaffected when the torque impact on the shaft is changed.]]>

<![CDATA[This Paper proposes a method to improve the efficiency of charging the battery used in autonomous electric vehicle powered by foldable roof-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) generation system. The conventional vehicle battery charging application from solar PV consists of a boost converter in the frontend followed by a full bridge converter with discrete switches. Here an attempt is made on the total scheme with a micro integrated package to have better conversion efficiency with high power density. The total system is controlled digitally incorporating zero voltage transition (ZVT) in the full bridge conversion. A typical specification with a power level of 300-400 W was targeted and achieved.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a new topology for cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter utilizing multicarrier modulation technique. The new five-level topology utilizes a capacitive divider network consisting of two capacitors for producing output voltage levels. The developed circuit has reduced number of switches and dc sources compared to conventional five level inverters. Five main power switches, a single additional diode apart from antiparallel diodes, two capacitors and a dc supply constitute a single five level unit. Simulations as well as experimental results are verified for the new topology utilising multicarrier modulation technique with reduced harmonic distortions in the output.]]>

<![CDATA[Each solar thermal plant can provide different parameters to be treated and evaluated, mostly temperature measurements, pressure specifications, heat transfer values. This data collection can be quite expensive taking into account the important number of sensors and data loggers and their specifications. Hence to assure flexibility in the data collection at a low cost, many hardware and software specifications can be adopted. Here we built an inexpensive data logger based on the Arduino board and IDE to collect and store incoming data from Resol DeltaSol regulators integrated in different solar water heating systems. The objective of this study is to allow massive synchronized measurements with high resolution to be stored into an SD card through the Arduino platform. The measurements are given by multiple sensors (temperature, pump speed, relay states) connected to the regulator. The results from the tests of the plant connected to the data logger are provided later on, alongside the commercial aspects of the built data logging device. After a month of daily measurements, the data logger showed an outstanding performance with an extreme low cost compared to industrial datalogger. ]]>

<![CDATA[This paper proposes a novel predictive control strategy for a multilevel inverter fed Induction Motor Drive (IMD) with optimal voltage vector selection at every sampling interval. The proposed predictive control strategy, apart from enhancing the dynamic speed and torque responses of the drive, strives to reduce the number of switching transitions by choosing optimal voltage vector, thereby reducing the switching losses significantly. The algorithm put forth here chooses the most suitable switching state among the redundant switching combinations, such that minimum number of switches change their states from the previous switching combination to the present one. This results in perceptible reduction in the switching losses thereby increasing the efficiency of the converter. The proposed Predictive Torque Control (PTC) strategy is modeled and simulated in Matlab/ Simulink environment and the results are reported for a 2-level and 3-level inverter fed IMD configurations. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PTC for both 2-level and 3-level inverter fed IMDs.]]>

<![CDATA[A Hybrid multi converter topology is proposed in this paper, which supplies simultaneous voltage’s for various levels from Renewable energy source. The proposed topology is realized by replacing Multi cuk- buck converter topology. The resultant hybrid multi converter requires less number of switches to operate, as well as various output voltages of different levels without interruption with increased stability. This type of hybrid multi converter with high reliability and high stability are well implemented for loads utilizing various levels of DC voltage. Converter, proposed in this paper is called Hybrid Multi converter topology (HMCT). A study is made on the steady state of the HMCT and a comparative study has been made with the conventional designs. A PI controller based feedback controller is designed to stabilize the various output voltages. A simulated model for the proposed HMCT is used to simulate various output voltages of dissimilar values from mono DC- input. The performance of the converter is demonstrated using simulation model. The proposed design can be protracted to voltage source inverter, multilevel inverter to produce AC output.]]>
