In this paper, we address fault tolerant control of Large Power Systems (LPS) subject to sensor failure. We assume that observability of subsystem encountering with fault is violated, states cannot be estimated by reliance of faulty subsystem. We use a new method for reconfiguration control of the faults which lead to unobservability of subsystems. The method proposes to augment subsystems to obtaining a new subsystem which is observable, and find best subsystems among the other candidates. By hiding the fault from the controller, it allows the nominal controller to remain in the loop. The proposed approach is applied to IEEE 14-bus test case while interactions are considered in nonlinear form. The Simulation results show that the proposed approach works properly.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"37 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":"122504000","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}

This control system is based on the modulation of the rotating field from two others that rotate in opposing directions. To implement this strategy it is used a sliding mode controller. In this way, the controller invert the direction of the field, by inverting the sequence of the three phase stator voltages applied, and in such a way that there is no risk of exceeding the operating currents of the drive. The sliding mode controller is embedded in the core of the Hardware Description Language (HDL) code. As for the FPGA itself, there are several tasks that have to be handled in parallel: calculate the rotor shaft speed from the linear encoder, read the speed set point value from the man-machine interface, apply the commutation switching law from the sliding mode controller, and finally, generate the PWM commands to the inverter.

A proper and reliable method is needed. Consequently, a new sensorless rotor position detection technique of permanent magnetic synchronous machines (PMSMs) is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is achieved based on flux linkage signals with access to the neutral point of the machine, which is called direct flux control (DFC) method and it is unnecessary to measure the machine currents. Two simulation environments, MATLB/Simulink and a cooperative simulation with Simplorer and Maxwell, are investigated. The nonlinear magnetization curve (BH curve) is also taken into account, which is impossible to do in the synchronous frame, but possible to process by finite element methods (FEM) implemented in Maxwell. The PMSM model with the nonlinear BH curve can similarly operate as a real PMSM. Moreover, the calculated electric position, done by the proposed method, strongly confirms the possibility to acquire the rotor position for a wide range of speed, including standstill.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"10 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":"116842407","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}

Champenois","doi":"10.1109/POWERENG.2011.6036483","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/POWERENG.2011.6036483","url":null,"abstract":"Module integrated converters focus many research because they are considered as most promising solutions for grid connection of photovoltaic power generation systems. Most of the proposed approaches relied so far on the use of series string of DC-DC converter to create a high voltage string connected to DC-AC inverter. The boost converter is better in this application. However, under inhomogeneous irradiation, the power generated from each PV module and output DC voltage of each boost becomes unbalanced so that the output currents of each boost are balanced and equal to the string current. In this case the boost converter cannot always deliver all the power from a mixture of shaded panels and those delivering full power. In this paper, a non-dissipative string current diverter is proposed to overcome this problem. One important feature of the proposed circuit herein is the ability to effectively decouple each converter from the rest of the string, making this insensitive to changes in the string current. Hence it is possible to obtain the maximum power from the PV module and allow it to operate at the optimum efficiency. The simulation and experimental results verify that the proposed topology exhibits good performance anyway of inhomogeneous irradiation. On the other hand, the string current diverter circuit does not operate if irradiation is homogeneous. So, in this last condition, the topology efficiency is improved.","PeriodicalId":166144,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives","volume":"21 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":"124285781","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}
