The power circuit of a constant frequency unified power quality conditioner (CF-UPQC) is based on a combination of UPQC, and frequency regulator (matrix converter). This equipment incorporates compensation functions like voltage sag, voltage swell, reactive power compensation, current harmonic rejection, and also provides frequency regulation. Integrated series and parallel active filter (UPQC) is a universal solution for the most power quality problems. The main drawback is that it cannot regulate the supply frequency variation. Here CF_UPQC the matrix converter is used for frequency regulation. This integration, the compensator compensates all the power quality issue for fixed speed induction wind generator. Simulation results are presented to confirm that this approach has better performance over the existing power quality conditioners for FSIWG connected with micro grid.","PeriodicalId":305797,"journal":{"name":"2011 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS AND CONTROL ENGINEERING","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127050136","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}

An energy balance model based fuzzy controller is designed to maintain proper fuel flow throughout the combustion cycle. The fuel flow requirement with respect to load at any instant is derived from energy balance model is fed to fuzzy controller to regulate the fuel flow to the boiler. At the same time air flow requirement with respect to load at any instant is derived from air/load characteristics. A lab scale experimental setup was fabricated and studies were carried out using conventional PID and the proposed energy balance model based fuzzy controller. Data was obtained from the thermal power plants to validate the controller's performance. The advantages of the proposed scheme over the conventional controller are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":305797,"journal":{"name":"2011 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS AND CONTROL ENGINEERING","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114685616","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 have a more accurate assessment of customer load point reliability, outages of generation and transmission system are considered incorporating load forecast uncertainty. Inclusion of transmission system reliability is employed by computing the transmission line outages at each load point using conditional probability approach. The reliability model for each market player considering reserve agreement with other market players are determined by network equivalent techniques.

Two independent regulated outputs are obtained with a single leg consisting of two switches. One of the two outputs is regulated through the switching frequency of an LCC (Inductor-Capacitor-Capacitor) resonant converter and the other output is controlled through duty cycle by asymmetrical pulse width modulation. The outputs are regulated over a wide range of input voltages and load variations. Cross regulation between the outputs is minimal due to independent control of each output. Zero voltage switching is also realized in the topology and higher switching frequencies are possible. The simulation and experimental results obtained for a converter with 48V input and 12V/20A and 5V/10A outputs are discussed.","PeriodicalId":305797,"journal":{"name":"2011 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS AND CONTROL ENGINEERING","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128969852","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 three phase matrix converter was designed in such a way to provide sinusoidal input current. The brushless DC motor used has trapezoidal back EMF and it was supplied with rectangular stator currents. The same has been simulated and results were analyzed. It is to be noted that the conventional converters with DC-link requires two stages of conversion, whereas a matrix converter, in a single stage converts AC to AC. Because of its appealing operational characteristics, it can be employed for driving brushless DC motor. By employing matrix converter the ac source current becomes nearly sinusoidal and total harmonic distortion gets very much reduced.","PeriodicalId":305797,"journal":{"name":"2011 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS AND CONTROL ENGINEERING","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124147561","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}

Recently, several network blackouts have been related to voltage collapse. The introduction of emerging Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology improves the Stability, reduces the losses and also reduces the cost of generation. FACTS controllers are used to control the voltage, current, impedance, phase angle and to damp the oscillations. Placing FACTS devices like SVC, TCSC, etc., in a suitable location will help to maintain bus voltages at a desired level and also to improve the Voltage Stability margins. This paper presents an effective method which is used to find the best optimal location of FACTS controllers by using metaheuristic algorithm called Genetic Algorithm. In this paper, the load flow analysis is performed by using conventional Newton Raphson technique. Different loading conditions are considered and MATLAB coding is developed for simulation.","PeriodicalId":305797,"journal":{"name":"2011 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RECENT ADVANCEMENTS IN ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONICS AND CONTROL ENGINEERING","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127382024","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}
