Solar energy is a form of best renewable energy and by implementing this project as a prototype one; our motto is to extend the voice for “Go Green-Save the Planet-work for existence”. Software implementation is needed to monitor the charging status of the individual batteries in a station. It can also detect whether the battery has been damaged or not at a certain voltage level. Thus, we have deliberated our software to monitor all the probable actions in the software development for Central Solar Battery Charging Station. It indicates the charging status independently for each battery coupled to the prototype central charging station through a charge controller that deliver the requisite quantity of current to the battery and also connected superficially with a Data Acquisition Card to examine the battery state with our software deployed using VISUAL STUDIO 2010 in C# programming language. Consequently, the entire charging process of the central charging station is a solitary means of communication as we are going to provide input quantity directly from PV solar panel or diesel generator (unconventional source).","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"1 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":"126618995","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}

There are many conventional and evolutionary programming techniques used for solving unit commitment problem. The use of augmented Lagrangian technique by convergence of decomposition method was proposed in 1994, and in 2007 chance constrained optimization was used for providing a solution to the stochastic unit commitment problem. Dynamic Programming is a conventional algorithm used to solve deterministic problem. In this paper DP is used to solve the stochastic model. The stochastic modeling for generation side has been formulated using an approximate state decision approach. The programs were developed in MATLAB environment and were extensively tested for 4 unit 8 hour system. The results obtained from these techniques were validated with the available literature and outcome was satisfactory. The commitment is in such a way that the total cost is minimal.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"51 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":"127560719","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 main purpose of this paper is to show that the magnetic energy recovery switch (MERS) can be an attractive new series compensator by applying appropriate control. The MERS is similar to a single-phase full bridge, meaning that compared to the gate-commutated series capacitor, it has twice the number of active switches. However, advantages, such as the double voltage-current operating range, eliminating the need for reverse blocking switches, zero current turn-on, and a lower current conduction period of each switch can make the MERS an attractive alternative. The basic characteristics of the MERS have been found to be similar to a series connection of a voltage source and a capacitor in steady state. With this dual characteristic, a control method has been suggested, where the minimization of the harmonics in the series-injected voltage and stable operation during large setpoint changes have been achieved. The resulting subharmonic characteristic also indicates a low risk of subsynchronous resonance.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"10 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":"133886628","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}

Every year the demand of electricity is increasing by 6-8 percent while production is not increasing with the same rate. When demand is more than supply, it leads to peak alarm and energy shortages continue to outbreak the sector. The gap between demand and supply of electrical energy is widening at the rate of 3% day by day. Bridging this gap by setup of new power plant is very difficult, expensive proposition and time taking process. The only value way in handling these crises is Demand Side Management (DSM) Strategies. DSM focuses on optimal utilization of available electricity during peak and off peak hours, this helps to maintain consumer loads indirectly by reducing the unscheduled outages. As there is a strict control over the maximum demand to avoid paying penalty on excess maximum demand for the consumer. This paper examines types of DSM measures that can reduce energy demand to electric utilities. In addition it illustrates how existing utility data can be used to predict customer demand management behavior. With reduction in consumer load during peak hours, there is great improvement in the load curve and load factor along with saving in energy bill due to lowering MD charges during peak hours.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"17 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":"122352483","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}

Considering parameters uncertainty, a further adaptive backstepping controller is designed. Additionally, chaos as an actual existence of PMSM, based on adaptive backstepping, is simulated in paper. The simulation results show that the backstepping controller can reduce the overshoot and greatly shorten the time to stabilize. Moreover, the results show that the adaptive backstepping controller cannot only ensure the stability of the system, but also effectively restrain the harmful effects on speed control system. Besides, with adaptive backstepping controller, all external interferences will be offset and factors will be stable.","PeriodicalId":176900,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Power, Energy and Control (ICPEC)","volume":"146 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":"122891333","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}
