Design of a Closed Loop Boost Converter with Parametric Variation Analysis of PI Controller for Constant Output Voltage Applications
Abstract: The DC-DC converters have an unregulated input dc voltage and a constant or regulated output dc voltage. Switching DC-DC voltage converters have two elements: A controller and a power stage. The power stage regulates the switching elements and converts input voltage to output voltage. The controller controls the switching operation to regulate the output voltage. The two systems are linked by a feedback loop that compares the actual output voltage …

Power Control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) Based on IP Controller
Abstract: Conventionally, the indirect power control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) has been developed based on conventional Proportional-Plus-Integral (PI) controller due to its simple construction and implementation. The steady-state error minimization, overshoot elimination and disturbance rejection are not possible where the gains of PI controller are chosen by trial and error method. The steady-state error and disturbance rejection can be possible if the gains of PI controller are chosen by …

A Disaggregated Optimization Approach for Competitive Procurement of Energy and Operating Reserve
Abstract: In restructured environment, Ancillary Services (AS) plays a vital role, as they are required for reliable and secure operation of the power system. Operating Reserve (OR), as one of the main AS, is a capability of a power system to prevent any unexpected imbalances caused by generation, transmission or equipment outage has been considered in this work. The approach is based on disaggregated clearing of energy and OR, which can …

Evaluation Algorithm for Discrimination between Fault and Power Swing Using Independent Component Analysis
Abstract: The analysis of faults and disturbances in power systems is a basic requirement for a secure and reliable electrical power supply. Independent component analysis (ICA) is an efficient computational method used to find out hidden components in a set of sampled data. The basic target of ICA is to find a linear representation and relation between nongaussian data captured during disturbance, so that the components are statistically independent, or as …

The Frequency Characteristics of Transformer Windings Considering the Separation-Dependence of the Inter-Turn Mutual Parameters
Abstract: The paper presents a direct method for the determination of the frequency characteristics of transformer windings. The dependence of both the inter-turn mutual inductances and capacitances on the separation between these winding turns is taken into consideration. From measured data available in the literature, a formula for this dependence is derived. The voltage and current distributions along the winding will be governed by two integro-differential equations in terms of the …
