Optimum control parameters of controller using QOTLBO, TLBO, GA algorithms are applied to the interconnected reheat thermal power system for a two-area hydro-hydro system. The impact of coordinated controllers SMES-SMES and TCPS-SMES on load frequency stabilization for such a hydro dominated system have been evaluated. A control strategy using SMES and TCPS are proposed to provide active control of system frequency. The automatic generation control (AGC) tuning is requiring to minimize the fuel cost as well as to avoid operation of generating units in undesirable changes. The proposed methodology is applied to AGC of an electric power system for real-time control of interconnected power systems. The results indicate that the controllers exhibit better performance.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130376757","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}

Energy from the offshore wind can be a potential source of renewable energy which is capable of meeting our needs. Research is still underway for addressing the several challenges associated with this technology and one of them is the unwanted response of support structures for wind turbines. Offshore wind turbines are located in severe environment and experience environmental loads like wind, wave, current and seismic excitations. The support structures when subjected to the loads exhibit the nonlinear response. Owing to the irregular waves, the response will often be chaotic which in turn reduces the overall stability of the turbine. A 5MW NREL wind turbine is considered for the study. The turbine is assumed to be installed on a floating platform with water depths of 320 m. To keep the response in safe operating regime, the controlled response of offshore structure is essential. The focus of this paper is to develop robust control techniques so as to regulate the vibration and synchronization of support structures for an offshore wind turbine. To achieve the same, two methods the sliding mode controller and a control mechanism based on altering the oscillation energy are being proposed. The performance of the algorithms is illustrated in this paper by designing the controllers for controlled response of the structures supporting offshore wind turbines in the chaotic regime. The performances of controllers are compared with general back steeping control methodology based on Lyapunov stability theory. Numerical results and simulations are shown to validate the proposed methodology and to demonstrate its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132551724","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}

The electricity demand in India exceeded the availability, both in terms of base load energy and peak availability. The efficient use of energy source and its conversion and utilizations are the viable alternatives available to the utilities or industry. There are essentially two approaches to electrical energy management. First at the supply / utility end (Supply Side Management or SSM) and the other at the consumer end (Demand Side Management or DSM). This work is based on Supply Side Management (SSM) protocol and consists of design, fabrication and testing of a control device that will be able to automatically regulate the power flow to an individual consumer's premise. This control device can monitor the overuse of electricity (above the connected load or contracted demand) by the individual consumers. The present project work specially emphasizes on contract demand of every consumer and tries to reduce the use beyond the contract demand. This control unit design includes both software and hardware work and designed for 0.5 kW contract demand.

Properties of the QMS have been studied and compared with crystalline silicon. The absorptance of QMS at different wavelength shows higher than that of crystalline silicon. Variation of carrier density with void radius within the material is shown at different acceptor concentration. The absorption co-efficient of material at different wavelength are represented graphically for both QMS and simple silicon. It is observed that absorption co-efficient/cm of QMS is higher than that of silicon and hence solar cell using QMS provides higher efficiency than that of silicon.

It is clean, easy to transport and easy to use so much, so that it has replaced most of the other sources of energy and become the energy of choice. In such circumstances the non availability of electricity results not only in individual discomfort but also puts brakes on the wheels of the industry and commercial units due to a breakdown in insulation between high voltage systems and earth resulting in short circuit. Due to large change in load the interconnected grid causes loss of a large load/generation which results in power swing flow in transmission lines getting rapidly changed / redistributed to meet the new network configuration and load generation balance. For this reason the power sector is not able to continuous supply the electricity. When the power sector is a capital intensive industry and a sufficient return on the large investment in the equipment, which goes to make up the power system, must be ensured for a financial healthiness, which is an important facilitator of operational healthiness. Hand in hand the satisfaction of consumers is to be ensured by providing reliable, quality uninterrupted service. This is possible only if the whole system is kept in operation continuously without major breakdowns. To minimise the effect of power swing in the interconnected grids several defence mechanisms are study.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125132881","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}

The building segment is responsible for almost 40% consumption. These installations are typically located at the distribution level. There are losses associated with the transmission system, such as T&D Losses and pilferage losses. Hence a single unit of energy saved at distribution level would amount to greater savings at the generation level. Developing nations rely largely on standalone Air Conditioning units for office and domestic use since these facilities rarely designed to accommodate centralized Heating ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. In this paper a novel approach to control all these air conditioning units using a centralized controller based on Stochastic Model Predictive Control (SMPC) has been presented. The SMPC takes into account the predicted weather to reduce energy consumption while maintaining the comfort level of the occupants. A sample office space has been modeled and performance of the algorithm has been studied for weather conditions of large cities of India. With centralized SMPC the system has significantly outperformed the existing SAC with localized controller.","PeriodicalId":109404,"journal":{"name":"2014 1st International Conference on Non Conventional Energy (ICONCE 2014)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125788536","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}
