The factors such as climate condition and weather are unpredictable, more for wind than compared to solar sources. The complementary nature of wind and solar sources motivates us to hybrid wind-solar power plant concept. The major problems like environment hazards, depletion of fossil fuels can be overcome by using hybrid power station. With the help of grid interconnection, the energy can be supplied to the remote rural areas and the emission of carbon and other harmful gases can be reduced up to 80% to 90%. This paper focuses on the optimal combination of renewable energy resources that could electrify the area under study.

Firstly, the harmonic reference value is transformed into d-q coordinate system, according to the sector, the slope is calculated and the action time is obtained. Six new expected vectors are synthesized from six effective vectors and zero vectors. The value function is established to loop and calculate the optimal virtual vector, which is applied to APF. Compared with single vector control and traditional multi-vector control, it has a wider vector action area and faster calculation speed.

Most of them are investing on the research and development of state-of-art technologies to boost continuous supply of energy to the users. The consumers can be guaranteed of flawless power if it is possible to identify and rectify the faults at the shorter time span than usual. The usual way to identify the fault and fault location is with the aid of man power. This work deals with the design and fabrication of an intelligent system based on the GSM. This system helps in efficient identification of the fault and location of the fault, initiating a message to the respective crew members and the control station and ensures that the technical crew will be able to reach the location very accurately in shorter time and recapitulate power at the earliest. The setup includes a current sensor, Arduino and a GSM module. The system identifies the location of fault and the data regarding the location of fault is efficiently conveyed to the control personnel or monitoring system over GSM. The location of the fault thus obtained is very fine and accurate, and the time needed to identify the location of flaw is greatly reduced.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129504363","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 order to maximize induction motor energy performance, the present research proposes an optimization of predictive torque control (OPTC) strategy, based on induction motor loss model (LMC). The aim of LMC technique is to deduce the best flux references to apply to the induction machine in order to minimize the copper and iron losses therefore improve the motor efficiency. So to confirm the theoretical study, experimental tests for various operating conditions of IM are proposed to verify the efficacy of the proposed OPTC. The obtained results show that OPTC decreases the total IM drive losses and ensures a significant increase in efficiency especially when the motor operates outside nominal conditions.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123596272","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 technique allows achieving an optimal control of the inverter which manifests in controlling the converters using an MPPT algorithm instead of controlling each part separately. This yields to a reduced global control system on a large scale. In this context, we suggest a DC-DC boost converter circuit to ensure better behavior of the system. The FMV technique is used to inject specific harmonics in order to eliminate or minimize the undesired harmonics.

It does not require an intermediate DC-link and allows sinusoidal output waveforms with varying amplitudes and frequencies. The configuration of these bi-directional switches decides the number of inputs and outputs of the matrix converter. This research uses a direct matrix converter (DMC) as a phase-changing device that can convert a three-phase AC voltage into a 5-phase AC voltage. The DMC is modulated with the model predictive control algorithm. The output of DMC is fed to a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The model predictive current control technique for DMC is carried out by developing a mathematical model of an input filter and PM motor used as a load. The predictive control of DMC results in sinusoidal output current, and it also enables the frequency variation in the output current. This frequency variation is useful in controlling the speed of the motor connected to the load. After controlling the 5-phase motor, the switching frequency regulation is done to observe its effect on the motor's stator current waveforms. Switching frequency regulation helps to limit the unnecessary switching of DMC. We developed a MATLAB-based Simulink model to study PMSM, and detailed results are presented. The results show that switching regulation can significantly reduce the switching frequency without compromising the current waveform quality.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132101666","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 the proposed scheme, the fault data are first collected. Then, maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform is applied to detect faults and extract features. Finally, artificial neural network is constructed to classify the fault types. Results show that the method can identify faults precisely, classify fault types accurately, and is not affected by the change of electrical parameters. In addition, compared with several existing intelligent diagnosis techniques, the proposed approach can provide better fault classification accuracy.
