A simple model is proposed to carry out the load flow analysis of the radial distribution system including the distributed generation connected to the buses modeled as PV(constant active power and voltage magnitude) buses and negative PQ (constant active and reactive power) buses. The proposed method is basically a modified form of backward, forward propagation method of a radial distribution system to take account for DG. Hence the method takes the advantage of both the simplicity of radial distribution system as well as consideration of DG. The accuracy, speed and number of iterations required to complete the load flow by these methods are compared. The proposed methodology is found fast, accurate and reliable.","PeriodicalId":256740,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Third International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132833820","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 variable voltage of PV array is boosted to a fixed value and is connected to the line commutated inverter, which operates with a fixed firing angle more that 90°. The grid voltage and firing angle will determine the constant dc voltage of boost converter. As the output of boost converter is maintained constant, any variation in PV array output voltage will result in variation of dc link current. Thus MPPT is achieved by tracking dc link current alone. The complete scheme has been constructed and experiments have been conducted on a 84 V, 4.7 A PV array interfaced with a utility grid of 110 V and the results are furnished. An 8051 μC has been employed for generating trigger pulses to the SCRs and a simple analog controller for varying the duty ratio of the boost converter.

Another problem is most of the power station is gas based and it is used 88.39% of total generation. So government is looking for alternative energy solution especially renewable energy. Solar and Wind energy are introduced in Bangladesh and currently solar energy is very good in progress. Compared to them other renewable energies are still lag behind, especially tidal energy. Bangladesh has a long costal area with 2-8 m tidal head/height rise and fall. This height is sufficient enough to produce power. So, tidal power has a bright future in Bangladesh as well as other countries. The main objective of this paper is to introduce tidal power and at the same time potentiality of tidal power in Bangladesh is also shown.","PeriodicalId":256740,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE Third International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122712546","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 IPT system maintains the capacitor voltages within a narrow band around a nominal value, simplifies the control algorithm and offers new advantages, such as operation at low output frequency, implementation of simple control schemes and reduced energy requirements over the existing topology.
