Two approaches for hydro turbine power control algorithms are studied. They are based on multiple model adaptive control algorithm and gain scheduling technique. The Smith predictor scheme is investigated in order to accelerate the conventional controller action applied to the nonlinear plant model. A multiple model adaptive control system based on the Smith predictor is proposed. Simulation models of the hydro generator control system are created.

This proposed controller maximizes the stable operating range by using genetic algorithms (GA) to tune the PID parameters ultimately at various loading conditions. Then, a fuzzy logic approach is used to add a factor of intelligence to the controller such that it can move among different values of proportional gain, derivative gain and integral gain based on the system conditions. This controller allows optimal control of boost converter at any loading condition with no need to retune parameters or possibility of failure. Moreover, the paper presents a novel technique to move between the PI and PID configurations of the controller such that the minimum overshoot and ripple are obtained, which increases the controller applicability for utilization of PV systems in supplying sensitive loads. The controlled boost converter is used as an interface between photovoltaic (PV) panels and the loads connected to them. It converts any input voltage within its operating range into a constant output voltage that is suitable for load feeding. The proposed smart controller adapts the duty cycle of the boost converter based on input voltage and loading conditions such that it outputs a constant output voltage. A prototype system has been developed in the laboratory to verify the applicability of the proposed controller. Moreover, simulation and experimental results both confirm its validity of the proposed controller as an effective and reliable controller for boost converters in PV systems and the possibility to use it in practical situations.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114916094","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}

Batteries of EVs will be charged at home, which means there will be an increase in the household power consumption. This impact on the distribution and transmission grid can be minimized by e.g. (i) a coordinated charging strategy and (ii) choosing an optimal battery size for each vehicle. A second drawback of EVs are the high cost and weight of the batteries. This paper proposes some allocation scenarios to allocate battery sizes to a fleet of plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Based on statistical data of Flanders (northern region in Belgium), a fleet of vehicles with realistic driving patterns is created, which is used to choose the optimal battery size. Different allocation scenarios will be compared regarding the effect on the proportion electric driving, the extra household power consumption and the fleet availability for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) services.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130961843","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}

One of the typical deployments of PV systems is without supervisory mechanisms to monitor the physical conditions of cells or modules. In the longer term operation, the cells or modules may undergo fault conditions since they are exposure to the environment. Manually module checking is not recommended in this case because of time-consuming, less accuracy and potentially danger to the operator. Therefore, provision of early automatic diagnosis technique with quick and efficient responses is highly necessary. Since high accuracy is the important issue in the diagnosis problems, the paper present fault diagnosis method using three-layered artificial neural network. A single artificial neural network (ANN) is not suitable to provide precise solution for this fault identification. Therefore, several ANNs are developed, then automatic control based module voltage terminal is established. The proposed method is simple and accurate to detect the exact location of short-circuit condition of PV modules in array.","PeriodicalId":424662,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Intelligent System Applications to Power Systems","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133497153","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}
