The proposed method is developed using Jordan type recurrent NN which is trained online using back-propagation. The algorithm, without requiring the knowledge of wind speed, air density or turbine parameters, generates at its output the optimum speed command for the speed control loop of the vector controlled machine side converter control system using only the instantaneous power as its input. The output of the NN is fed into a state input after a unit step delay completing the Jordan type recurrent neural network. The proposed concept is analyzed in a grid connected direct drive variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) WECS with a back-to-back frequency converter. Vector control of the grid side converter is realized in the grid voltage vector reference frame. Simulation is carried out in order to verify the performance of the proposed controller.","PeriodicalId":393869,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electrical Power & Energy Conference","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121636310","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}

Herein, the relevant numerical analysis is replaced with an optimization procedure. The objective function is energy balance equation and the equality constraints are governing equations of the physical model. In this paper a dynamic relaxation method is proposed which provides a fictitious nonlinear dynamic system model for the fuel cell. Thereafter, by assuming appropriate initial conditions, the steady state solution can be obtained. For any current density, the corresponding temperature in cathode and anode, output voltage of the cell and stack temperature are determined. It is shown that by changing the initial conditions and also the integration method, the convergence into the same steady state values can be guaranteed. It is concluded that dynamic relaxation method which is well known technique in solid mechanics can also be a powerful optimization method for studying the equilibrium in fuel cells. The advantages of this method compared with other techniques are discussed and commented upon.","PeriodicalId":393869,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electrical Power & Energy Conference","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126066232","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}

Alternative power transmission options with HVDC systems are under consideration.

So, it is probable that the market power is manifested. Market power may prevent the full competition in Electricity Market. Moreover, in this condition, with operating of power system in its boundary conditions, the system may be damaged and the security of the system may be disturbed. On the other hand, decreasing the line flows from their optimal value, cost and consequently, price of energy are increased. So, there is need to have a compromise between the line flow decrease and the cost those impose. In this paper, a framework for compromising between social cost and security are suggested. The suggested algorithm uses Multi-Objective Optimal Power Flow conception and with compromising, selects the best decreased line flow from its allowed value subject to minimum cost. This leads to decrease the risk of damaging of the system and result in more power system security. The proposed algorithm is simulated on the 14-Bus IEEE test system.","PeriodicalId":393869,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Electrical Power & Energy Conference","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129341564","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}
