It has a vital role in deciding the size, rating and cost of electrical equipment. The load variation in the system causes change in the system parameters as well as variation in the power factor of the system. This variation in power factor may cause the distortion of the voltage and current in the system and hence, can deteriorate the power quality of the system. In this work power factor of the system for a particular loading condition has been improved with the solar farm. In this work the voltage has been injected in quadrature with the system current and the magnitude of the injected voltage has been increased in steps so to achieve the desired value of power quality. The complete work has been carried out in three stages. In first stage of the work PV solar farm has been designed and MPPT has been done with fuzzy logic controller. In the second stage, MLI has been designed to produce sinusoidal waveform and in the last stage of the work the magnitude of the quadrature injected voltage has been varied. MATLAB / Simulink environment has been used for the solar farm design and analysis.","PeriodicalId":442235,"journal":{"name":"2017 Recent Developments in Control, Automation & Power Engineering (RDCAPE)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126216081","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}

Among all the renewable sources wind and solar energy are the two major sources that have great potential. One of the key advantages of wind and solar sources is their complementary nature. Due to this complementary nature, these sources make an effective combination to create a PV/Wind hybrid energy system. The optimal design of the renewable energy system can significantly improve the economic and technical performance of power supply. In this paper, the technical-economic optimization study of a Solar Wind Hybrid System (SWHS) in NTPC Kudgi plant in Bijapur Karnataka is presented. The primary objective of this study is to estimate the appropriate placement of solar and wind, appropriate technology and effective sizing of evacuation system of SWHS that guarantee the energy autonomy of a typical load profile with lowest levelized cost of Electricity (LCOE). The results indicate that the hybrid system is the best option for the site which gives maximum yield from a piece of land and also provide grid stability and other benefits.","PeriodicalId":442235,"journal":{"name":"2017 Recent Developments in Control, Automation & Power Engineering (RDCAPE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128388647","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}

But the mission is limited by the deficiency of right-of-ways for new transmission corridors. This drawback, limits the transmission ability between power plant and load end. Centered on zigzag transformer, this paper offers a concurrent AC-DC power transmission arrangement, a new circuit topology, in the distribution network by overlaying DC power flow on existing AC line. The mixed DC and AC current and merged voltage is controlled below thermal limits and the insulation level of the line respectively. No variations of conductor size, insulator discs, breaker capacity and tower structure are needed. As circuit is near to the conductor thermal limit in the AC-DC system, the capacity of transmission line is considerably improved. Scheme of concurrent AC-DC power transmission system applied in the distribution network is put forward and the extreme of the whole power transmitted by the system is studied theoretically and numerically. Simulation is also supplied.","PeriodicalId":442235,"journal":{"name":"2017 Recent Developments in Control, Automation & Power Engineering (RDCAPE)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124190013","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}

As conventional two level inverters are not able to provide good quality power, multilevel inverters are becoming more popular due to there ability to generate output voltage with less harmonics. In this paper, a new multilevel inverter topology with different magnitude of dc voltage sources have been proposed that requires lesser number of circuit components as compared to other topologies for same levels in output voltage. In the proposed topology, eight switches are required for generation of fifteen level single phase output voltage. The proposed topology is simple and can be extended easily to get more number of levels in the output voltage. All positive and negative levels as well as performance parameter in term of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in the output voltage generated by proposed MLI have been evaluated using simulation in MATLAB environment. The operational accuracy of proposed topology in generating all levels are confirmed by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":442235,"journal":{"name":"2017 Recent Developments in Control, Automation & Power Engineering (RDCAPE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123741438","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 the presented work we propose a different NALM method by incorporating on GSP, by representing active power dataset on a graph.

Hysteresis current control scheme is preferable because of ease of implementation, robustness against parameter variations and fast dynamic response. Because of the inherent advantages associated, this paper emphasizes to extend the same control strategy to multilevel converters as well.
