<![CDATA[Stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) systems are being used in remote areas and are being seen as one of the promising solution in this regard. The SAPV system as presented in the paper consists of solar PV panel, a DC-DC converter, a controller and a PMDC motor. The current-voltage and power-voltage characteristics being nonlinear, the SAPV system require maximum power point techniques (MPPT) control techniques to extract maximum power available from the PV cell. A voltage based MPPT technique which is capable of tracking MPP has been selected because of numerous advantages it offers such as: simple and low cost of implementation. The limitation of constant voltage method is that its efficiency is low as the PV panel has to be disconnected from the load for measurement of the open circuit voltage (Voc). In the presented paper, the authors have removed this limitation by using a pilot PV panel for measurement of Voc. A proportional-integrator (PI) based controller is used in implementation of constant voltage MPP technique and the modeling is done in MATLAB®/SIMULINK simulation environment. The simulation results are presented and discussed in the paper, the results shows that the efficiency of the system has increased.]]>

<![CDATA[FACTS devices are one of the latest technologies which have been used to improve power system dynamic and stability during recent years. However, widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high cost and reliability concerns. In this paper an economical phase imbalanced shunt reactive compensation concept has been introduced and its ability for power system dynamic enhancement and inter-area oscillation damping are investigated. A hybrid phase imbalanced scheme is a shunt capacitive compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed shunt capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) in shunt with a fixed capacitor (CC). The power system dynamic stability enhancement would be achieved by adding a conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) to the main control loop of the single phase STATCOM. Two different control methodologies are proposed: a non-optimized conventional damping controller and a conventional damping controller with optomised parameters that are added to the main control loop of the unbalanced compensator in order to damp the inter area oscillations. The proposed arrangement would, certainly, be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase STATCOM. The proposed scheme is prosperously applied in a 13-bus six-machine test system and various case studies are conducted to demonstrate its ability in damping inter-area oscillations and power system dynamic enhancement.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine. Each of these components is simulated in different software environments. So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLAB-Simulink environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of different drive’s components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions, a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform.]]>

<![CDATA[Electric vehicle (EV) has gained incredible interest from the past two decade as one of the hopeful greenhouse gasses solution. The number of Electric Vehicle (EV) is increasing around the world; hence that making EVs user friendly becomes more important. The main challenge in usage of EV is the charging time required for the batteries used in EV. As a consequence, this subject matter has been researched in many credentials where a wide range of solutions have been proposed. However those solutions are in nature due to the complex hardware structure. To provide an unswerving journey an Android application based charging optimization is proposed. This application is aimed at giving relevant information about the EV’s battery state of charge (SOC), accurate location of the EV, booking of the charging slots using token system and route planner. At emergency situations, an alternative service is provided by mobile charging stations. Route planner indicates the temperature by which prediction of reaching the destination can be done. In addition to that nearest places such as parks, motels are indicated. The estimated time and distance between the electric vehicle and the charging station is calculated by the charging station server according to which the parking lot is allocated. Vehicle to charging station communication is established for the time estimation of charging. This will help the EV users to know about charge status and charging station, which support fast charging method and availability of the station on the go and also when to charge their EV. The Arduino UNO board has been used for the hardware part. The hardware results are confirming the conceptual of the proposed work.]]>

<![CDATA[The sun and wind based generation are considered to be alternate source of green power generation which can mitigate the power demand issues. As solar and wind power advancements are entrenched and the infiltration of these Renewable Energy Sources (RES) into to network is expanding dynamically, testing errand is to keep up the voltage and frequency of the power generated from RES consistent as they specifically relies upon environmental conditions. So, as to outline a legitimate control and to harness power from RES the learning of natural conditions for a specific area is fundamental. With this fundamental information of the environmental conditions, a suitable Photovoltaic and Wind power generations is selected to generate clean and green electricity. Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controlled boost converter are utilized for viable operation and to keep DC voltage steady at desired level. The control scheme of the inverter is intended to keep the load voltage and frequency of the AC supply at constant level regardless of progress in natural conditions and burden. A Simulink model of the proposed Hybrid system with the MPPT controlled Boost converters and Voltage regulated Inverter for stand-alone application is developed in MATLAB R2015a, Version 8.5.0. The ongoing information of Wind Speed and Solar Irradiation levels are recorded at BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus utilizing climate observing framework introduced at the area the performance of the voltage regulated inverter under constant and varying linear AC load with the real time data of the solar irradiation and wind speed as input is analyzed. The investigation shows that the magnitude of load voltage and frequency of the load voltage is maintained at desired level by the proposed inverter control logic.]]>

<![CDATA[In this article, we have set up a vector control law of induction machine where we tried different type of speed controllers. Our control strategy is of type Field Orientated Control (FOC). In this structure we designed a Fuzzy Gain-Scheduling Proportional–Integral (Pi) controller to obtain best result regarding the speed of induction machine. At the beginning we designed a Pi controller with fixed parameters. We came up to these parameters by identifying the transfer function of this controller to that of Broïda (second order transfer function). Then we designed a fuzzy logic (FL) controller. Based on simulation results, we highlight the performances of each controller. To improve the speed behaviour of the induction machine, we have designend a controller called “Fuzzy Gain-Scheduling Proportional–Integral controller” (FGS-PI controller) which inherited the pros of the aforementioned controllers. The simulation result of this controller will strengthen its performances.]]>
