The proposed control model is based on Direct Lyapunov Control (DLC) theory and provides a stable region for the appropriate operation of DG units during grid integration. Using DLC technique in DG technology can provide the continuous injection of maximum active power in fundamental frequency from the DG source to the grid, compensating all reactive power and harmonic current components of grid-connected loads through the integration of DG link into the grid. Application of this concept can guarantee to reduce the stress on the grid during the energy demand peak. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the proficiency and performance of the proposed DLC technique in DG technology.","PeriodicalId":334135,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 5th International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives (POWERENG)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133884212","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 research provides the investigation of changes in Riga CHP-2 plant operation modes, as the result of opening of Latvian price area in Nord Pool Spot (NPS) power exchange. Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) units of Riga CHP-2 plant were chosen as investigation objects. Negative and positive aspects of cycling operation of Riga CHP-2 plant were explored under conditions of open electricity market. Finally, some measures for modernisation and upgrade of Riga CHP-2 were recommended to improve efficiency of cycling operation and flexibility.","PeriodicalId":334135,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 5th International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives (POWERENG)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124704685","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}

Both external and internal rotor radial-field design in the same structure utilize modular concentrated winding, optimized slot-opening and pole/slot ratio, outer and inner diameter for both stator and rotor and stack length parameters for the machine. The output parameters such as flux linkage, armature current, rated torque, rated power, and cogging torque of each motor for different rotor positions are calculated and evaluated. Moreover, the analytical and numerical studies based on finite element methods are performed and compared. In addition, a coupled-circuit analysis is employed to prove the effectiveness of the achieved design to assess the maximum power and torque capability.","PeriodicalId":334135,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 5th International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives (POWERENG)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121033612","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}
