Therefore, the research investigates the impacts and effects of communication networks in the grid systems which might cause imperfections such as delays and noise among others related to relays. The model of the power system and the design of the controllers are done using Simulink, the Matlab software. The controllers are designed to output power imbalance based on frequency deviation during various systems under frequency conditions. They also shed loads continuously until the frequency is restored within the safe operating range. Different cases of the system under frequency are used to analyze the performance of the grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) proposal based on under-frequency load Shedding UFLS, a comparison with Traditional and particle swarm optimization (PSO). UFLS is performed due to various disturbances. It has been found that a GOA method provides excellent communication networks and reduces the size of the load is shed. Moreover, and what’s more, GOA achieves the fastest solution we’ve ever used in IEEE 14 Bus system.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120961863","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 discusses an approach to pursue toward designing a printed-circuit board (PCB)-based planar coil inductive coupler with wide bandwidth for data transfer.The designed coupler will eventually be used to implement powerline communication (PLC) adequately for airborne use, where a real-case context study was investigated, also PLC implementation and tests were conducted as well as discussed from latency, bit error rate (BER) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance perspective with the RTCA DO-160G standard requirements.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123743893","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}

To reduce coil weight and cost, finite element method (FEM) modelling may be employed to minimize the amount of ferrite used and optimize its placement. However, this approach is time-consuming and provides very limited design insight. Therefore, this paper proposes an analytical approach, based on magnetic reluctance, to aid in the design of IPT coils. It is based on modelling the air gap between transmitting and receiving coils as a network of reluctances, and facilitates design insight through allowing key analytical relationships between magnetic field and coil design parameters to be developed. Results from the proposed analytical model are benchmarked against those from FEM for an IPT coil implemented with a circular winding and with commonly used ferrite strips. The results verify the accuracy of the proposed analytical model.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122642864","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 can present a problem in terms of unbalanced loading across phases, which will be significantly exacerbated by the future impact of large-scale electric vehicle (EV) charging loads. In addition, the implementation of EV charging systems can give rise to the presence of significant harmonics on power systems, as a result of converter operation. Therefore, this paper proposes a fast EV charging technique that incorporates phase balancing and harmonic suppression features. This allows multiple and important functions that are necessary for the improved operation of a local distribution network to be achieved through the installation of a single unit. Consequently, units based on the proposed technique suit the large-scale and strategic deployment in distribution networks. The paper describes the technique in detail, presenting relevant theory and the control strategy. To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed technique, simulated results of a 50 kW fast EV charger are presented under various unbalanced load conditions.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133573895","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}

Though higher order, the LCL filter due to its high harmonic suppression capability are widely adopted in back-to-back converter systems or grid connected converter systems. Normally, with LCL filter, the control system follows double closed loop with outer loop controlling DC voltage and inner loop controlling AC current. However, for some special applications like common DC-bus-configured motor emulator (ME) system, the DC bus voltage is not required to be controlled. In addition, the presence of LCL filter introduces cross coupling of flux and torque component in case of AC motor emulation. The double closed loop control is generally adopted to decouple torque and flux components, however the controller design is more complex process. Therefore, this paper presents a single loop control of a common DC-bus-configured ME system with LCL filter based on state feedback linearization method. The decoupling equations in direct and quadrature axis are derived here. The simulation results presented for a 2.0 kW PMSM motor validate the stability as well as closed loop operation of the system with single loop control.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115236121","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}
