It is particularly suitable for public LED lighting systems, such as road lighting systems.

The DG sources are generally integrated to the network mainly to reduce the power losses, avoid congestion, improve voltage profile and provide electricity during peak load. This paper presents a method to select the load buses for the placement of DGs based on loss reduction and voltage improvement sensitivity of the system. The strategic placement of DGs can help in reducing power losses and improving voltage profile. The proposed work discusses some factors that can be useful for selecting the locations. Benefits of employing DGs are analyzed using voltage performance index (VPI) and loss sensitivity factor (LSF). The method has the potential to be used for integrating the available DGs by identifying the best locations in a power system. The proposed method has been demonstrated on standard 5-bus test system and IEEE 24-bus Reliability Test System (RTS).","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122302243","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 fixed PI control design, the converter does not have good disturbance rejection capability and cannot always cope with a wide range of uncertainties. In this paper, a PI self-tuning mechanism based on a fuzzy logic scheme is proposed. It corrects the PI gains, initially designed using small-signal modeling, to improve converter dynamic response and disturbance rejection. The algorithm is based on continuous change/adaptation of the PI gains until best dynamic response is achieved.

Now-a-days series voltage compensation using power electronics devices is a promising solution for these problems and the design, control and application of this type of devices have drawn much attention in the literature. Comprehensive controllers for Dynamic Voltage Restores (DVR's) have already been proposed to tackle all those problems simultaneously, although several aspects need closer attention. This paper addresses several implementation issues for a discrete algorithm to control a three phase DVR. The controller is divided into a main one and an auxiliary one. The former is based on a state-feedback controller to achieve a fast transient response when voltage sags occur. The latter uses a repetitive controller to improve steady-state reference tracking and disturbance rejection in order to tackle harmonic and imbalance problems. This paper focuses on the repetitive-controller part. Firstly, a new method to improve the repetitive controller performance with small frequency deviations in the grid is presented. Secondly, the classical repetitive controller is modified so that the response to non-periodic disturbances is improved. Finally, the main contributions of the paper are illustrated by simulation using a test system built with SIMULINK and its PowerSim toolbox.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"269 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131370889","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}
