This paper deals with analysis and comparison of different artificial techniques for harmonic reduction in the source current. Artificial Intelligence may include Fuzzy logic and Artificial Neural Network. The purpose of the simulation is to enhance the power quality by using the concepts that cannot be expressed as \"true\" or \"false\" but rather as \"partially true\" called as Fuzzy logic and intelligent features of the neuron cell. Shunt Active Filter is one of the controller that can be used for suppress the source current harmonics and compensates the reactive power. Hysteresis current controller is used to control the switching of Voltage Source Inverter. The D-Q Frame theory is used to generate the reference compensating current. Simulations are carried out in MATLAB environment using power system toolbox.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121141295","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 mode of operation leads the power systems in to unpredictable and sometimes unsecured states with the competition among market participants in addition to the uncertainties. The maintenance of acceptable range of bus voltage magnitudes and transmission congestion management are become essential preventive tasks to the system operator to drive the competitive electricity market schedule. Due to the lack of reactive power support and transmission system capacity, the networks could also subject to voltage instability. In order to improve the transmission system loadability even under line outage contingencies, this paper addressing the application of flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices. Based on the impact on critical loading margin (CLM), the contingencies have been ranked. The critical loading margin is determined using repeated power flow (RPF) method and possible improvement is achieved with various FACTS devices in the network.

The power system configuration depends on various factors such as amount of power required, type of orbit, duration of the mission, constraints on mass volume, and the impact of the system's hardware on the spacecraft design. Power system encompasses power generation, energy storage and power processing. The organization of control and management circuits to carry out these functionalities is termed as Power Control and Management (PCM). Selection of an appropriate PCM is must for achieving the desired mission goal. This makes its choice a most important one for spacecraft Engineers. Different methods are adopted for finding out a suitable PCM. However availability of indices facilitate the evaluation of electrical performance of PCM systems. Hence a set performance metrics which would serve as benchmark has been detailed here. In the end, a typical case has been enumerated to demonstrate the usefulness of these metrics.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114950415","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 design of controllers for the converters can be realized in two ways. The first method is a non-linear realization, which results in simple control rules with faster dynamics. The second method is a linear method, which requires system modeling. The second approach is adopted and simulated waveforms are presented in the paper. The designed controllers with variation of DC link voltage have been applied to the STATCOM and suitable DC link voltage has been selected on basis of spike and over shoot of the responses.

Artificial intelligent controller (AIC) could be the best candidate for Induction Motor control. Over the last two decades researchers have been working to apply AIC for induction motor drives. This is because that AIC possesses advantages as compared to the conventional PI, PID and their adaptive versions. The main advantages are that the designs of these controllers do not depend on accurate system mathematical model and their performances are robust. In recent years, scientists and researchers have acquired significant development on various sorts of control theories and methods. Among these control technologies, intelligent control methods, which are generally regarded as the aggregation of Fuzzy Logic Control, Neural Network Control, Genetic Algorithm, and Expert System, have exhibited particular superiorities. The artificial neural network controller introduced to the system for keeping the motor speed to be constant when the load varies. The speed control scheme of vector controlle d induction motor drive involves decoupling of the speed and ref speed into torque and flux producing components. The performance of artificial neural network based controller's is compared with that of the conventional proportional integral controller. The dynamic modeling of Induction motor is done and the performance of the Induction motor drive has been analyzed for constant and variable loads. By using neuro controller the transient response of induction machine has been improved greatly and the dynamic response of the same has been made faster.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127832760","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}

Three phase induction motors have many well recognized advantages however their applications are limited to lower end of the high power range due to limitations on rating of power semiconductor devices. A strong contender in achieving high power is multiphase inverter fed induction motor drive. Multiphase motors have various advantages such as lower torque pulsation, reduced current per phase without increasing the voltage per phase, reduction in harmonic current, greater reliability, fault tolerance and minimal de-rating at occurrence of fault.

We exploited the source signal separation feature of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to observe the feasibility of ICA in separating an individual load profile from its composite current waveform. The results suggest that, for most of the electrical loads(used for experiment) ICA has been successful to extract the individual waveform from its composite load current signature with more than cross correlation value of 0.75, between the experimental current signature and ICA extracted current signature.
