Microgrid is a feasible solution to cater to varying load for maintaining power quality parameters especially frequency and voltage. The microgrid, consisting of different types of intermittent sources and loads, is liable to a substantially high frequency aberration. This needs to be mitigated at a faster rate in order to supply quality power supply to consumers. This paper focuses on development of a novel control strategy for quick active power support by electric vehicles (EV) to suppress frequency deviation caused due to fluctuating load. This approach senses the frequency change and communicates with EV aggregator to supply required amount of active power to microgrid.

The heating circuit of reduction furnaces generally divided into four zones, each consists of nichrome heating elements fed by 3 phase, 415 Volts, 50 Hz AC supply. The process temperature is maintained by switching the state of these heating elements at specific intervals incorporating ON/OFF controller, using power contactors of suitable rating. However, in view of certain drawbacks of ON/OFF control system, thyristor power controllers have been proposed based on either phase angle control technique or integral cycle control topology. The paper presents the design schematic of these two control topologies and subsequently performs the circuit simulation to evaluate the parametric performance. The simulation results are also highlighted in the paper. The comparative analysis of phase angle control topology with integral cycle control scheme has been presented to find out the best temperature control strategy to keep the retort temperature within certain optimal limits. The FFT analysis of electrical parameters including total harmonic distortion, power factor and input waveforms has been discussed to meet the limits of IEEE: 519–1992.

Nuclear reactor converts fission energy into electrical energy which is fed to the grid network. Determination of safety margins of nuclear reactor is the most crucial requirement as far as the safety of nuclear reactor is concerned. Generally, nuclear reactor safety margin is initially evaluated using well-proven computer codes and then validated by conducting appropriate experiments in simulated test facilities. In those experimental test facilities, nuclear fuel bundle is simulated incorporating metallic cluster of identical geometry with suitable power scaling. Low resistance metallic cluster is directly heated by DC current of the order of 10–50 kA to achieve the output power in MW, needed for generating experimental database. Rectifiers should have capability to generate a typical nuclear reactor power profile/transient for simulating nuclear reactor conditions.

Buck-type current source inverter has further found its place as the driver of BLDC motors due to its square-wave current injection and short-circuit tolerant essence. However, usage of the extra switch which is driven at a high frequency reduces the cost-effectiveness of the driver. Moreover, conventional pulse width modulation techniques that are implemented require a complex and costly circuits or processors. This also adds to the cost of the whole driving scheme. Due to the extra cost related to the driving scheme, BLDC motor still finds sparse applications in commercial usage. This paper has made an attempt to implement a buck-type current source inverter to drive a BLDC motor, and the control strategy is based on digital pulse width modulation. The simplicity of digital pulse width modulation makes it compatible to be implemented on a reduced cost application specific integrated circuit. The application of digital pulse width modulation and buck-type current source inverter leads to low frequency operation of all the switches present in the inverter which further minimizes the cost. With the usage of buck-type current source inverter the major snag of digital pulse width modulation that is speed stability is also addressed. The total control strategy and driving scheme is designed and verified using simulations.","PeriodicalId":385912,"journal":{"name":"2018 2nd International Conference on Power, Energy and Environment: Towards Smart Technology (ICEPE)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132291927","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}
