In FEC channel coding, the OFDM based wireless communication system incorporates a convolutional encoder under various digital modulation schemes (QAM, QPSK, 8QAM, 8PSK, 16QAM, 16PSK, 32QAM and 32PSK). The computer simulation results on BER over an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and other fading (Rayleigh and Rician) channels demonstrate that the convolutional encoded OFDM system outperforms with QAM modulation technique as compared to other digital modulation schemes and the system is highly effective to combat inherent interferences under Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. It has been anticipated from the simulation study with synthetically generated data that the performance of the communication system degrades with the increasing of noise power.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116550944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms fail to track the Global Peak (GP) among the Local Peaks (LP). Special MPPT techniques are applied for tracking the GP under partial shading conditions. Various schemes reported in the literature perform blind scanning of the P-V curve in order to find the GP. This type of scanning takes a long time during which the array is not operated at the MPP. This causes a considerable amount of power loss. In this paper an MPPT algorithm is proposed which quickly tracks the GP of a partially shaded PV array. The algorithm avoids blind and unnecessary scanning of the P-V curve by finding the total number of peaks after tracking the peak nearest to the open circuit voltage (Voc). The tracking process is accelerated through the use of modified versions of the Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm.","PeriodicalId":102691,"journal":{"name":"2016 57th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126490590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optimal tuning of PI gains is required to get the best response of PI controllers. This paper presents the Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) using ant colony optimization based PI controller (ACOPI). The simulation results demonstrate that the optimized PI controller by ant colony (ACO) presents an advantage of little response time and best control performances compared to the classical PI. The major benefit of this approach is to provide a faster DC voltage response for different voltage disturbances. The simulation results show that the approach for finding the optimal controller parameters is not easy to be implemented, but very effective in improving power quality.
