The power generation by renewable energy sources depends highly on atmospheric conditions and due to that they are very chaostic in nature. Hence rapid control becomes an essential requirement for the converters used for power conditioning. Conventionally PI controller is used for the control of power electronic circuits employed in such systems. But conventional PI controller takes few switching cycles to track the variations in operating conditions while the one cycle controller can track them within one switching cycle. Also compared to PI, OCC has a better transient response. Short current pulse based maximum power point tracking is used here to compare the performance of OCC and PI controller. MATLAB/Simulink simulation results are provided to verify their performance.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"13 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":"132417211","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}

Least research work is carried out to make IM efficiency evaluation methods compatible to unbalanced supply and varying load conditions. This paper proposes a novel approach using cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) to obtain efficiency estimation of an IM operating as a motor working with unbalanced supply having under or over voltage issues. CSA improves the searching ability and has capability to adapt to complex optimization problems. Here, CSA optimizes the IM positive sequence parameters at various loading levels. The parameters optimization is done with the use of positive sequence input currents and electrical powers which have been obtained earlier at various operating loading points. Using the optimized parameters, the negative sequence parameters can be evaluated. So, the efficiency of IM can be estimated at different loading levels. The proposed approach is implemented on the MATLAB platform. The effectiveness of the novel approach is established by comparing the results obtained with genetic algorithm (GA).","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"50 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":"130880285","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}

On comparing Case1 and Case2, it shows that Case2 configuration of power converter enhances the reliability by twenty four percent in case of squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) and twenty five percent in case of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines. Similarly comparing Case 1 and Case3, it shows that Case3 configuration of power converter enhances the reliability by thirty three percent in case of squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) and thirty percent in case of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines.

These uncontrolled converters inject excessive harmonic currents in to AC mains resulting in detoriated power quality in terms of AC voltage waveform distortionat the point of common coupling (PCC) and increase losses in the distribution system. Because of voltage sag and swells, the DC link voltage is reduced and the drive needs to be derated. An active series compensator is proposed here which is capable of reducing harmonic currents at the PCC and regulating the DC link voltage at the input of the VSI, thus offering dual functionality.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"80 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":"121717104","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}

Under mismatch or non-uniform irradiance condition a hot spot formation may damage the PV panel. A bypass diode is provided with PV panel to avoid hot spot formation. Under non-uniform irradiance condition, due to presence of bypass diode, I-V and P-V characteristics are quite different from that of uniform irradiance condition. Results obtained show the presence of multiple peaks in P-V characteristics under non-uniform irradiance. This establishes requirement of a non-conventional maximum power point tracker algorithm.","PeriodicalId":206767,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 6th India International Conference on Power Electronics (IICPE)","volume":"1959 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":"133146279","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}

Electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the typical industrial non-linear loads responsible for deteriorating the power quality in the distribution network by-introducing harmonics, propagating voltage flicker and causing unbalance-in voltages and currents. Hence electric arc furnace model is needed to study and to analyze the power quality in the distribution network. This paper presents a new time domain model of electric arc furnace to study power quality problems. The proposed model is a combination of two previous EAF models called-Exponential and hyperbolic model-using transition functions. The functioning of the proposed model has been validated by comparing its performance characteristics with the existing Cassie-Mayr EAF model.
