Due to the high nonlinearity in the modeling process of such kind of systems, the stabilizing of magnetic levitation has been considered as a challenging task for many researchers in control engineering sector. This paper illustrates the calculating of all stabilizing PID controller gains for ED-4810 magnetic levitation system benchmark (Maglev) in the presence of uncertain parameters. Firstly, the linearized model of the uncertain plant is derived where the resultant characteristic polynomial is shown to be an unstable affine structure using Zero Exclusion Theorem and singular frequencies technique. Then all PID parameters values are demonstrated to establish robust stability using parameter space approach. The effectiveness of the proposed graphical method has been proved through simulation to achieve robust stability for magnetic levitation system.","PeriodicalId":347169,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electric Power Engineering – Palestine (ICEPE- P)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131992799","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}

Accordingly, this paper proposes an anomaly-based technique for fault detection in electrical power systems. Furthermore, a One-Class Support Vector Machine (SVM) model and a Principal Component Analysis (PCA)based model are utilized to accomplish the desired task. The used models are trained and tested on VSB (Technical University of Ostrava) Power Line Fault Detection dataset which is a large amount of real-time waveform data recorded by their meter on Kaggle. Finally, performance and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves analyses of our results are exploited to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique in the fault detection problem.","PeriodicalId":347169,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electric Power Engineering – Palestine (ICEPE- P)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134181328","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}

Generally, FTCS technique can be active or passive control. In this paper, the Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) which belongs to the active control branch is used in order to detect faults that may occur in speed hall sensors of Brushless DC Motors (BLDC). The FDD methodologies, which depend on the process and the type of data available can be divided into two approaches; Model-based methods and data-based methods. Here, the proposed method focuses on the investigation of the use of Luenberger observer technique which belongs to the model-based approach. This observer depends on the residual signal which is used as a fault indicator in the overall system and represents the difference between the measured speed signal from the plant and the estimated speed signal. BLDC motor is selected as a benchmark for testing the proposed method due to the increasing demand for this type of motors especially in the renewable energy sector as in electrical vehicles, solar system, and new water pumping systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved using MATLAB simulations and the results illustrate clearly the detection of faults as expected with high performance response.","PeriodicalId":347169,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electric Power Engineering – Palestine (ICEPE- P)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132867757","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}

Based on an assumed amount of MSW production of 190kton/year used for electricity generation, it was estimated that the required W2E steam unit size is 15MW. The amount of energy generated from this W2E unit is estimated to be 120GWh/year. Additionally, the reduced amount of Green House Gases (GHG) especially Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is estimated to be in the range of 88kton per year. Approximation of the capital cost of the W2E unit is evaluated at about 2900USD/kW. The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for the project is calculated to be about 0.05$/kWh.

Moreover, the topological changes of the power systems with the addition of RESs can negatively affect power system stability. Low-frequency oscillation is considered as one of the major concerns in the area of power system stability.

For a fixed mounted PV array, the yearly optimal tilt angle is the angle that maximizes the solar radiation falling on the array surface throughout the year and thereby maximizes the electrical energy production. This paper discusses the impact on the energy yield when tilting the PV array by monthly or seasonal optimal tilt angles rather than by the yearly optimal tilt angle. The gain percentage of energy yield from a PV array was calculated when the array was tilted by the monthly optimal tilt angles and also when the array was tilted by the seasonal optimal tilt angles. The geographic location of the University College of Science and Technology located in Gaza Strip – Palestine was selected in this study. Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) software was used to produce the results. The results showed that the produced energy increased by 5.82% and 4.77% using monthly and seasonal optimal tilt angles respectively. In order to confirm the results, System Advisor Model (SAM) software developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) was used. The results obtained from SAM software were close to those obtained from PVGIS software tool.","PeriodicalId":347169,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electric Power Engineering – Palestine (ICEPE- P)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121139764","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}
