The proposed control strategy involves the decisions for the dynamic charge-discharge transactions in the energy storage systems like battery and pumped hydro (PH) units connected to the smart microgrid in order to maintain a real time balance of generation and load. A comparison has been made based on the realizations of both SVM model and ANN model on SPARTAN 3AN Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and the results show that SVM implementation is better than ANN implementation. The projected DEM system when tested with the existing laboratory model of a smart microgrid results in sustainable supply of power as the SVM based DEM controller monitors power flow in the lines and provides an optimal solution.","PeriodicalId":352711,"journal":{"name":"2014 POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128505130","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}

Thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC), which is a series compensating device, can be used to govern the power flow by compensating the reactance of the transmission line. It can also improve the system stability, sub-synchronous resonance mitigation, power oscillation damping and transient stability. Because of its advantage to damp out the oscillations, TCSC is a suitable device for stability improvement. In this paper, Dynamic Inversion (DI) technique has been used to control TCSC with an objective of improving stability and damping the oscillations arising out of the variation in the infinite bus voltage. DI technique is a non-linear technique wherein the zero error dynamic is enforced and the actual output is forced to follow the desired output.","PeriodicalId":352711,"journal":{"name":"2014 POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128205455","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}

Though the classical direct torque control (DTC) algorithm gives fast dynamic response, it gives large ripples in steady state. To reduce the steady state ripples and to achieve the constant switching frequency operation, space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) algorithm is used for DTC drives. But, the SVPWM algorithm requires angle and sector information and hence the complexity involved is more. To reduce the complexity and to generate the all possible PWM algorithms in the entire modulation regions the proposed algorithm is developed by using the instantaneous phase voltages only. By varying the offset time in the proposed UPWM algorithm various continuous PWM (CPWM) algorithms like sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) and space vector PWM (SVPWM) and discontinuous PWM (DPWM) algorithms such as DPWMMIN, DPWMMAX, DPWM0, DPWM1, DPWM2 and DPWM3 can be generated at all modulation indices. To evaluate the performance of the proposed UPWM algorithm based DTC drive, several numerical simulation studies have been carried out and the results are presented. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":352711,"journal":{"name":"2014 POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133058062","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, emergency control in distribution systems is analyzed by using the proposed multifunctional DVR control strategy. Also, the multiloop controller using the Posicast and P+Resonant controllers is proposed in order to improve the transient response and eliminate the steady-state error in DVR response, respectively. The proposed algorithm is applied to some disturbances in load voltage caused by induction motors starting, and a three-phase short circuit fault. Also, the capability of the proposed DVR has been tested to limit the downstream fault current. The current limitation will restore the point of common coupling (PCC) (the bus to which all feeders under study are connected) voltage and protect the DVR itself. The idea here is that the DVR acts as a virtual impedance with the main aim of protecting the PCC voltage during downstream fault without any problem in real power injection into the DVR. Simulation results obtained using MATLAB software show the capability of the DVR to control the emergency conditions of the distribution systems.","PeriodicalId":352711,"journal":{"name":"2014 POWER AND ENERGY SYSTEMS: TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE ENERGY","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121420193","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}
