The proposed system includes 3 main parts: the 5-Phase laboratory made AC AFPM, full bridge rectifier and an IGBT full bridge inverter. A current control technique based on fixed hysteresis band is used. All control algorithms are implemented on dsPIC30F4011 Digital Signal Controller (DSC). The proposed system is able to transfer energy supplied from the proposed AFPM to a 1-phase, 50 Hz, 220 V mains supply. Apart from the power transfer, the proposed system also provides reactive power compensation for resistive-inductive load to improve power factor of the grid to nearly unity. The system performance is investigated which appears satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124087752","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}

Due to stochastic feature of wind, output of wind electric generators (WEG) has uncertainties. These uncertainties bring risks into daily power system operations. Flexible and accurate computational tools are increasingly needed to handle the uncertainties for generation planning and electricity marketing in a short term time duration. A triangular approximate distribution (TAD) is discussed in this paper to stochastically model real power output of WEGs. The TAD model very closely represents the normal distribution function of forecasted wind power to capture stochastic information of WEGs' output forecasts. The cumulative probability function of unavailability of wind power can be calculated using the TAD model and further to compute expected energy not served, which quantifies the risks caused by wind power. The effects of standard deviation are studied.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133561515","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 implementation of the pseudo-gradient in PSO is to determine the suitable direction for particles to guarantee that they can quickly move to global optimal solution. The proposed PGPSO has been implemented for the ORPD problem with different objectives such as minimizing the real power losses, improving the voltage profile, and enhancing the voltage stability satisfying various constraints of reactive power limits of generators, switchable capacitor banks, bus voltage limits, transformer tap changer limits, and transmission line limits. The proposed method has been tested on the IEEE 30-bus system and the obtained results are compared to those from other PSO variants and other methods in the literature. The result comparison has indicated that the proposed method can obtain total power loss, voltage deviation or voltage stability index less than the others for the considered cases.

The first issue includes (a) recognizing the presence of power quality disturbances in supply voltage and (b) classifying any existing deviations from a particular type. Various techniques using artificial neural networks and Fuzzy associative memories, Neuro-Fuzzy systems based on Wavelet transform are used to identify power quality disturbances. The second issue is to analyze the power system transients using the wavelets technique as opposed to the trapezoidal rule method. A novel developed algorithm has the following properties: 1) it is time-domain working, so that circuit nonlinearity can be handled and numerical accuracy can be well controlled, unlike the frequency-domain method where numerical error may become uncontrollable during the inverse Laplace transform; 2) the wavelets property of localization in both time and frequency domains makes a uniform approximation possible, which is generally not achieved in time-stepping methods. The last issue is to model a transmission line based on passive network synthesis for representing the nonlinear frequency dependence of the characteristic impedance matrix function. The synthesized passive network of interconnected RLC elements preserves at any frequency the inherent stability property of this matrix function for any power transmission circuits. The network parameters are identified using the constrained optimization by which the synthesized network response is matched with the actual response derived from the characteristic impedance matrix. With the trapezoidal rule of numerical integration applied to individual elements of the synthesized network, discrete time-domain recursive sequences are derived, and then included in the overall transmission circuit model. The network synthesis procedure developed is applied to a representative transmission line, and comparative studies indicate high accuracy being achieved. The research is then applied and validated to a southern of Vietnam power system in study.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"28 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132508140","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 recent times, uncertain renewable energy is being integrated into power systems in a large scale. Appropriate modeling of renewables in OPF requires using stochastic models. Using stochastic models of renewables in OPF is numerically and algorithmically challenging due to the complexity of stochastic models and nonlinear nature of bus power balance equations. Hitherto, Monte Carlo Simulation technique and Cumulant technique have been proposed, but they are not computationally viable for large systems. In this paper, we propose the use of linear fuzzy relation technique to relate stochastic models of dependent variables of OPF formulation in terms of control variables that include power output of renewables. This fuzzy relation uses Hessian matrix of the LaGrangian of the OPF formulation at optimal solution point. The method is tested on a 6-bus system and results are reported. One can intuitively see that this method can be easily extended to larger systems.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132238403","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}

Large water towers and tanks provide sufficient pressure-head to operate generators to produce electricity. Sewage water treatment facilities continuously produce disinfected effluent that is discharged in to natural water streams.

Precise forecasting of wind speed is vital to the effective harvesting of wind power. The problems posed in the wind speed prediction include reduction in time delay, improvement in speed for short time, error reduction, model improvement for effective conversion of wind energy. However there is a lot of research being done in this field in which individual as well as hybrid techniques are being worked upon. The objective of this paper is on error reduction and improvement of model by hybridizing two techniques. One is the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) along with a statistical method of Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) technique. These methods are used for short term predictions of wind speed. This result is tested practically on MATLAB in this paper. By help of observations, the EnKF will correct the output of ANN to find the best estimate of wind speed.
