A novel modulation technique presented in the paper enables unidirectional power flow from DC to AC side, while energizing all three output phases in one link cycle. Zero voltage, zero-current turn-on of all devices reduces switching losses and increases efficiency.

Micro grids are capable of generating clean energy and supplying good quality power. In this work, a simple micro grid system is modeled and analyzed which consists of two diesel generators and a DFIG based wind energy conversion system (WECS). Loads are connected at different points of the system. The system is subjected to load change and turbine torque variation of the DFIG, which deteriorates the voltage profile of the micro grid system. By implementing a vector control strategy with reactive power compensation, on the grid side converter (GSC) the voltage profile of the system is improved. The rotor side converter (RSC) of the WECS is also controlled by stator flux oriented vector control strategy for the decoupling control of the active and reactive power of the DFIG. The whole system is modeled and simulated in Matlab/Simulink environment.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134242636","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}

With rapid growth in demand and generation and increased complexity in transmission network, the grid operation is becoming challenging day by day. With increased complexity, power system dynamic state visualization has a major role in grid operation. This has been achieved with the introduction of Synchrophasor Measurement Units also known as Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). With the help of PMU, the grid dynamics now can be monitored at sub-second level at control centre. With the help of the sub-second data and phasor information, the power system fault can be easily diagnosed in real time which will help the operator in reducing the after effects and restoration time. This paper is focused on the development of Disturbance Analysis (DA) tool for analyzing faults in the grid using synchrophasor data and its localization at control centre. This will help operator in immediately accessing the fault and taking corrective measures. Various case studies analyzed using the developed DA Tool are discussed in the paper. This tool has eased the process of analysis and reduced the time for detailed analysis of grid event which has increased the operator confidence level during restoration. This tool has laid the path forward for the development of analysis tools as per the user conveyance to monitor the grid.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134535354","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}

Moreover, the controller needs to ensure smooth starting, normal operation and also its stopping where multiple dynamic activities such as melting rate, droplet transfer, re-ignition post short circuit and spatter rate are optimized. It is ideal for end users if one controller or equipment can have grip of control over activities of entire process.

This work overcomes this shortcoming by specifically presenting a generalized method for developing EEC and the torque equation that is developed from the magnetic field and electromechanical energy conversion principles for different commonly used motor types. The method adopted in this work for SSM development using flux linkages, motor inductances and energy conversion principles is a simple, systematic and a generalized approach that can be applied to any motor type. The SSM developed in this work matches with that presented in the literatures available. Using the generalized approach presented a novel EEC for salient pole rotor synchronous motor has also been proposed.","PeriodicalId":124701,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126389750","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}
