The system consists of a bridgeless PFC converter, a boost converter, and a voltage source inverter to drive a brushless DC motor coupled with a pump. As a backup source, the grid is used. This system allows the water pump to run at maximum capacity regardless of the weather conditions. The grid will provide power if the photovoltaic array is unable to fulfil the required power demand. The unidirectional power flow through a conventional power factor corrected (PFC) boost converter causes conduction loss in the input bridge rectifier, thereby hurting efficiency, power factor, and THD. This paper presents a bridgeless PFC boost converter topology to reduce the conduction losses, thereby increasing the efficiency and obtaining a nearly unity power factor as well as lower total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current. The system is simulated using MATLAB /Simulink. The proposed system’s real-time validation is realized through the OPAL-RT simulator OP5700. The THD results obtained are well within the specified standard of IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519-1992.","PeriodicalId":11205,"journal":{"name":"Distributed Generation & Alternative Energy Journal","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85984524","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}

Firstly, the influence of dead-time effect on the output voltage of bridge is analysed, and a dead time compensation strategy is added between the modulation signal and dead time procession. According to the current direction of the bridge, the rising edge or falling edge of the driving signal is selectively delayed to compensate for dead-time effect. Secondly, an Optimized Triple Phase-shift (OTPS) modulation strategy is adopted with minimizing leakage inductor current Root-Mean-Square (RMS) control, which minimizes current stress, achieves soft-switching operation, avoids phase-shift errors caused by Dead-Time Effect, and optimizes control performance of DC-DC converters. Finally, simulated and experimental results are added to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":11205,"journal":{"name":"Distributed Generation & Alternative Energy Journal","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83334628","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}

However, in control technique the primary concern for objective function (OF) depends on the selection of appropriate weighting coefficient (WC). Basically, for weighting coefficient selection, empirical methods are used but it takes additional time and heuristic process. In this paper, Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) technique is introduced in optimization of objective function for selection of appropriate weighting coefficient. In this methodology, stator flux and torque having individual OF are modified from single-OF. This ensures that in each sampling period, selection of grey relational optimal control action is dependent on the preference given to the control parameters in OF. For each sampling, a Grey Relational Grade (GRG) is employed to determine the appropriate control action. The models for two-level inverter fed PMSM are developed in MATLAB/Simulink to test the various operations of PMSM drive and the results are validated on the experimental test bench using dSPACE-1104 R&D controller.

It is frequently used in a system and is referred to as a distributed PV power system. The system generates power in the surrounding areas and connects to the neighbouring utility grid. A distributed energy storage (DES) system is a bundled solution that stores energy for future use. In the short term, one of the most significant problems with solar power storage is that the batteries utilized for the application are still costly and giant. The more power requires the bigger battery must be. Further research revealed that maximizing solar and wind energies minimizes greenhouse gas emissions and lower the total cost of energy. The ability to store energy is crucial in balancing because it makes the grid more adaptable and stable. The mission of energy conservation and energy storage (ECES) aims to help integrate energy-storage technology research, production, deployment, and integration to improve the energy efficiency of all energy systems and enable the increased use of renewable energy in place of fossil fuels.
