The performance improvement over classical total-cross-tied connection has been validated by extensive simulation results. The novel scheme of arrangement is also compared with the optimal total cross tied configuration and results show that the new scheme of arrangement showed very similar operational characteristics. The rearrangement of modules is performed without varying the electrical connection of the modules in the array. This reduces the multiple local maxima in power-voltage (P-V) characteristics and improves the nominal voltage of PV array. Thus, tracking of global maximum power point (GMPP) in the present approach is simpler. The performance of the system is investigated for five different shading patterns.","PeriodicalId":215798,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability (ICEETS)","volume":"361 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115916108","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 with DC system, connection of backup energy storage and small size generation is easier to realize. For any system, disconnecting a part of the system during temporary faults is uneconomical and might lead to network instabilities. To overcome this, the system must possess Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability. FRT is the ability of the system to remain connected during faults. In this paper, FRT for DC ring bus micro-grid system is achieved for temporary faults. After the occurrence of a fault, the system will ride through the fault until a predefined time period is exceeded. When the predefined time period is exceeded, the system classifies the fault as a permanent fault and the system is isolated. The FRT is achieved by supplying a limited amount of current to the fault using Fault Current Limiters (FCL) working with the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":215798,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability (ICEETS)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123803277","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 ever increasing demand of wind energy and its renewable nature has led to an emphatic push in development of this sector. Wind speed has been one of those important parameters which form the basic element for design of any wind energy system. Thus, in order to build effective systems, exemplary assessment of wind speed deviation is single handedly the most mandatory parameter that is required to be studied. This leads us to investigate probability density functions which are used to describe wind speed frequency distributions. In this paper, we have modeled wind speed characteristics with respect to Weibull, Rayleigh, Gamma distributions and have simultaneously compared them with respect to statistical parameters such as Chi-square error test, Root mean square error and R2 test as ruling criteria to evaluate the pertinence of the respective distribution functions. Weibull and Gamma give a good fit with Weibull giving a better fit.","PeriodicalId":215798,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability (ICEETS)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132906623","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}

In this paper, grid connected Renewable Energy System is modeled as single phase equivalent circuit and an optimal control law is derived using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). The reference currents are generated using instantaneous real - reactive (p - q) theory to have low grid current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and power factor closer to unity in the grid side. To show the supremacy of the LQR method, simulation results are compared with the conventional Hysteresis Controller (HC) for three phase three wire system with balanced grid voltage conditions.

A high step up converter with coupled inductors could be used for this purpose due to its inherent advantages. It acts as an efficient interface between the PV system and the grid. The output obtained in such a system is found to be fluctuating with load variations. This could escalate numerous issues in the quality of output. A closed loop voltage mode control would be useful in disentangling this issue. The closed loop control is achieved by making use of a PIC microcontroller. The output of the converter is fed to the controller which in turn generates gate pulses to control the two MOSFET switches. The controller varies the duty ratio of the system in accordance to the fluctuations in the load voltage. Also the system is found to be effective while working in high input as well as low input conditions making it efficient during night time and also on rainy days.
