Initially three different wind profiles and the suitable airfoil for the vertical axis wind turbine is derived. The position of the blades to derive maximum velocity is analysed. The degree of impact at angle of 30° is found to have the highest lift coefficient. The structure is then built under laboratory conditions. A modified magnetic circuit generator is used to test the generating capability of the turbine under low speed and high speed conditions. A dual magnetic surface is attached into the structure through an external mechanical structure to reduce the mechanical oscillations. The system is then investigated with and without the maglev structure. It is found that the vibrations are reduced by 37.5%.","PeriodicalId":315326,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Electrical Energy Systems (ICEES)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117223490","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}

Typical transmission line faults close to the plant and at the other end of the lines in the grid are studied and analyzed. For different simulated fault cases with main and backup fault clearance, voltage pattern at various NPP buses, Turbine-Generator (TG) output current and power profiles, and typical Motor inrush currents are analyzed.

Another proposed converter (MC) can contribute to the realization of low volume, sinusoidal input current, bi-directional power flow and lack of bulky reactive elements. All these reasons lead to the development of MC in WECS. This paper describes the feasibility and the operational limitations of the proposed structure.

High gain DC-DC converters are preferred for solar applications to step up the output voltage from PV arrays. Due to the limitation on duty cycle, high gain is not feasible in conventional buck-boost converter. This drawback is overcome by multilevel buck-boost converter using capacitor-diode multiplier. The gain increases with increase in number of multiplier levels. The switched inductor multilevel buck-boost converter gives gain higher than conventional and multilevel buck-boost converter at a respective level. This topology is single switch DC-DC converter with high frequency due to which circuit layout is optimized and gate complexity is also reduced. The main advantage is that gain increases with increase in the number of levels without disturbing the main circuit by providing modularity.

Hybrid Renewable energy system (HRES) is a combination of one or several renewable resources such as wind, solar, biomass, small/micro hydro, with other technologies such as batteries and fossil fuel powered diesel generator (for backup) to provide electric power. HRES is an excellent solution for electrification of remote rural areas where the grid extension is difficult and not economical. A hybrid renewable energy system may be used to reduce dependency on either conventional energy or renewable system. This paper gives the design idea of optimized Hybrid Energy System for a certain technical college/remote rural area for a particular site in central India (Bhopal). For this hybrid system, the meteorological data of Solar Isolation is taken for Bhopal (Longitude 77°42' E, Latitude 23°25' N and Altitude 427 m) and the pattern of load consumption of load are studied and suitably modeled for optimization of the hybrid energy system using HOMER software. HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) is a design model that determines the optimal architecture and control strategy of the hybrid system. Validation of this result is through evolutionary computing such as GA (genetic algorithm). Our objective is selected as minimizing the total capital cost, subject to the constraint of the Loss of Power Supply Probability (LPSP). Studies have proved that the genetic algorithm converges very well and the methodology proposed is feasible for optimally sizing standalone hybrid power systems.","PeriodicalId":315326,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Electrical Energy Systems (ICEES)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127041026","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}

Here PV cell and PV module model is developed from mathematical equations. Voltage of photovoltaic cell varies with temperature and irradiation. For most of the PV applications PV output voltage is not enough according to specific load requirement. So, the conventional Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) that has been the power conversion technology requires additional voltage boost converter for such applications. The ZSI implements voltage boost as well as voltage inversion simultaneously in a single-stage. Thus Z-source inverter eliminates the limitations of conventional boost converter interfaced with VSI. Simple boost control technique with sinusoidal pulse width modulation is used here for Z-source inverter. Inductor and capacitor values are calculated for Z-source network. In this paper performance of Z-source inverter topology over conventional boost converter interfaced with VSI topology is studied using MATLAB SIMULINK software.","PeriodicalId":315326,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Electrical Energy Systems (ICEES)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114833715","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, a boost converter derived topology consisting of two interleaved stages and five voltage multiplier cells (VMC) is presented. The proposed topology uses two switches with two inductors for the interleaved stage, 12 diodes and capacitors including one voltage lift capacitor. In general, (2N+2) diodes and capacitors are required to obtain a voltage gain which is (N+2) times that of a conventional boost converter. The voltage lift capacitor facilitates addition of outputs obtained from two interleaved stages. The main advantage of this topology is that the voltage stress across the main switches is equal to that of a conventional boost converter. Other advantages are continuous input current, large gain without high duty cycle or transformer and modularity. Experimental results obtained from the 24V/230V, 100W prototype demonstrate the voltage gain capability of the converter and validates the converter design.","PeriodicalId":315326,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Electrical Energy Systems (ICEES)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130566448","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}
