APF for Mitigation of Current Harmonics with p–q and Id–Iq Control Strategies using PI Controller
Abstract: Due to a large amount of non-linear power electronic equipments, impact and fluctuating loads (such as that ofarc furnace, heavy merchant mill and electric locomotive, etc), problems of power quality have become moreand more serious with each passing day, as a result Active power filter (APF) gains much more attention due toexcellent harmonic compensation. But still the performance of the active filter seems to be in contradictions withdifferent control strategies. …

Investigation of DC link Capacitor Failures in DFIG based Wind Energy Conversion System
Abstract: This paper presents the effects of DC link electrolytic capacitor failure of DFIG based wind energy conversionsystem (WECS). The degradation of electrolytic capacitor can lead to the failure of DC link. As DFIG basedWECS utilize low power converter, so there is a need to explore the effects of capacitor failure. This failure(short circuit of capacitor or open circuit) leads to the power outages, high machine currents, high transientcurrents in rotor …

Modeling of Fuzzy Logic Controller for Photovoltaic Maximum Power Point Tracker
Abstract: In this paper a fuzzy logic controller for maximum power point tracker of photovoltaic (PV) energy system isintroduced. This controller uses a boost converter to control the terminal voltage of PV system to work at themaximum power point. The load side consists of battery and control switches to control the power flow from thePV system to the battery and the load. The system is modeled using Matlab/Simulink program. The output …
