The problem formulation for optimal placement of DG is based on maximization of social welfare subject to operational and security constraints. In this paper, an algorithmic approach has been used based on LMPs and CPs for optimal placement of DG. LMP at a particular location provides an economic signal to the consumers and suppliers for their power consumption and generation, respectively. CP at load bus is defined as the product of LMP and real power demand at that load bus. The system buses have been ranked for optimal placement of DG based on decreasing order of LMPs and CPs. Various cost characteristics are assumed in test system to examine the proposed methodology. The proposed methodology has been tested on IEEE 14-bus system. The simulation results clearly present the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"38 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":"115003216","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}

Presently hall sensors are used as position sensors in PMBLDCM and its signals are utilized for starting and control of PMBLDCM under various operating conditions. For the position sensorless control, back-EMF signal of PMBLDCM is used to detect its rotor position. A pulsed starting method is proposed for position sensorless starting which uses the PMBLDCM as a synchronous motor at standstill. The PMBLDCM is driven to a threshold speed where the back-EMF is detectable and the control of motor is shifted to position sensorless running mode. The PMBLDCM drive is generally fed by a single phase AC mains followed by a diode bridge rectifier (DBR) and a dc link capacitor through a three phase inverter. In the proposed work, a boost DC-DC converter is used for power factor correction (PFC) at input AC mains and to control the DC link voltage using current multiplier approach. The proposed method of power quality improvement of a position sensorless controlled PMBLDCM drive using boost converter is designed, modelled in Matlab-Simulink environment and its performance is evaluated under speed, torque and input AC voltage variations. The obtained results show improved power quality at AC mains along with smooth starting from standstill and during speed and torque control of the PMBLDCM drive operated in position sensorless mode.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","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":"127454942","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 type of motor driver can control the speed as well as the direction of rotation of the motor. However, both the functions can be performed using another type of motor driver consisting only one MOSFET and two relays. This paper demonstrates the proposed motor driver circuit having bidirectional speed controllability for motors. The circuit is constructed with a pair of relay (in place of four MOSFETs) that facilitate the direction control and a single MOSFET which enables the speed control of the motor. Moreover, this type of motor driver circuit provides several advantages over the former one. While designing the H-bridge, we have used relays for the High-side instead of the traditionally used MOSFETs and thus, the corresponding intricate MOSFET driving circuitry is also eliminated. As a result, the motor driver circuit is compact and low-priced. Since we do not include the MOSFET driving circuitries such as bootstrapping ICs, transistor circuit, etc., which contribute to the unreliability, the proposed motor driver possess increased reliability. Relays, being mechanical devices, are less prone to the failure due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) as compared to the MOSFETs under the same operating conditions. We have illustrated in the paper the designing and testing of this motor driver along with its performance evaluation.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"6 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":"124693655","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 paper presents a comparative study of the critical parameters such as on-state resistance, reverse conduction drop, leakage current, maximum junction temperature, threshold voltage, gate charge requirement and device capacitances of commercially available enhancement-mode GaN (e-GaN) devices with those of Si MOSFET devices of the same voltage and current ratings. This paper also calculates the switching transition times of the e-GaN HEMTs based on their gate-charge characteristics. Further, the switching losses are also evaluated. These switching transition times and switching energy losses are also compared for the two types of devices. The e-GaN devices show excellent reduction in switching times and switching losses over the Si MOSFET devices, indicating their suitability for high-frequency power conversion. The e-GaN devices also reduce the on-state loss in most cases. However, the reverse conduction drop and leakage currents are higher with eGaN devices than with Si devices.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","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":"130339048","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}

Also, in most of the research work the objective function is the reduction of power losses and the improvement in voltage profile. The reduction in power loss and the system voltage profile further depends upon the size and location of the capacitor placement. In this paper the capacitor placement is optimized based upon the methods for cost, size and location of capacitor bank to be installed in order to compensate for the reactive power demand by the load. For the purpose of capacitor placement in radial distribution system ETAP tool is to be used, which will optimize the capacitor placement problem for maximum cost saving and is computationally efficient.
