Abstract

A solution of unstable MHD free convective flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically steering fluid created by spontaneous motion of vertical plate subjected to constant heat fluctuation offered by Sacheti et al. has been revisited. The governing equations are deciphered with the aid of Laplace transform procedure, while the inversion is gotten through the Riemann sum approximation approach. Fluid velocity are varied with sundry parameters such as, Prandtl number, Grashof number and Hartmann number have been extensively explicated with the help of graphs. Numerical comparison is carried out and equated with the benchmark values reported in literature and an outstanding agreement is established. This article targeted at amending some discrepancies in the skin-friction offered by Sacheti et al. The benefit of the suggested technique could be a reduction of computation time.

Abstract

With advances in solid-state power electronic devices, control techniques (PWM) have been devised to obtain high dynamics responses from a multilevel power conditioning converter-Photovoltaic. This work discusses the advantages and drawbacks of two different PWM techniques, the sinusoidal (SPWM) technique and the Third harmonic injection PWM (THIPWM) technique. These two methods are compared by discussing their ease of implementation and by analyzing the output harmonic spectra of various output voltage and their total harmonic distortion (THD). The focus of this paper is the simulation study of single-phase inverter, three phases, two levels and three levels inverter for application photovoltaic. Firstly, single phase is modeled with inductive load and their waveforms are observed. Secondly, a two levels inverter, and three levels inverter are leading to the high industrial performances of the drives synchronous, especially, if a high-power quality is requested.

Abstract

This paper presents a control scheme of power converter used for electric vehicles DC charging station connected to a three-phase distribution feeder. The transformer is employed to connect single-phase photovoltaic inverters and single phase loads to the main grid. This makes the distribution transformer to work with unbalanced operations which leads to overload conditions and inefficient operation. The proposed control scheme makes the AC/DC converter to convert the AC grid power to DC power required for charging the electric vehicle. Moreover it makes the currents of the transformer to be balanced with unity power factor to avoid frequent shutdowns due to overload conditions .  The power converter control scheme are examined and simulated considering unbalanced distribution feeder with single phase PV inverters and single phase loads. Simulations are performed in Matlab/Simulink to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Abstract

Due to the great level of wind energy penetration in the existing network, huge efforts have been directed to enhance the grid-connected wind generator performance. This paper shows an application of a hybrid algorithm of the particle swarm optimization and the gravitational search algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance the transient stability of the grid-tied wind energy conversion system. The variable-speed wind turbine (VSWT) direct-drive permanent-magnet synchronous generator is connected to the network through a full-scale converter. The generator- and grid-side converters are controlled by utilizing an optimum proportional-integral (PI) controller. The criterion of the integral squared error is utilized as an objective function. The PSO-GSA based-PI controller efficacy is validated by comparing its results with that are obtained by utilizing the genetic algorithm (GA)-based-PI controller. The performance of the suggested control scheme is checked during various fault conditions. The control scheme quality is legalized by the simulation results that are obtained using MATLAB/Simulink program

Abstract

This paper presents the direct torque-controlled induction motor drives (DTCIMDs) based on a retrofit 44-pulse rectifier (44PR). A 22-phase polygon autotransformer (PA) is designed to supply the rectifiers. The above structure improves the power quality standards in the power grid and complies with the requirements of the IEEE-519 standard for different loads. Besides, a power factor close to one is obtained for a wide range of DTCIMD performance. The results show that the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input current under variable loads for 44PR is less than 3%.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to objectively analyze the wind atlas map of the Adrar region at 10 m from the ground, in order to classify these speeds according to the PNL (Northwest Pacific Laboratory) classification, then develop a separation velocity map in the area studied,  finally, We finished this work with an application on the Adrar locations, to estimate the annual, seasonal, and monthly energy produced by Whisper200 wind turbines, using the Rayleigh distribution, in order to process the wind data collected every 3 hours from 01/01/1961 to 12/31/ 2018. The northeast zone of the studied region belongs to the fourth classes of classification PNL, In other words, it is a region suitable for wind applications (by wind farm or isolated wind turbine), The surface of this area equal to 16587 km², in this area we locate two sites Kaberten and Aougroute, while the second PNL class is divided into seven zones; this wind speed class is favorable for the installation of isolated wind turbines or hybrid systems. The main cities are located in these regions such as Adrar, Timimoune, Regagne, Aoulef, Bordj Baji Mokthar and Timaiaouine.

Abstract

This paper presents three planning models for optimal routing of radial distribution systems. In the first two models, the cost function includes capital cost of lines, energy loss cost, and bays cost. The constraints equations include power balance equations, voltage drop equations, radiality equations, logic equations, thermal limit equations, and bus voltage limit equations. The first model considers the energy loss equation in its quadratic form while the second model approximates the energy loss equation of each cable size by a simple linear segment considering the economic loading of each cable size. In the third model, two sub-models are used where the first one gets the optimal radial network configuration regardless of the cable sizes and voltage constraints. In the second sub-model the best cable size on each selected line of the first model is determined to minimize the system costs while considering the bus voltage limit constraint and thermal limit constraint. Verification of the proposed planning models has been made using a real 11 kV 34-bus distribution network with 68 initial lines.
