Adaptive Selective Harmonic Elimination Method for Quasi Z-Source Cascaded Multilevel Inverters in Varying DC Voltage Condition
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, a new control method for adaptive selective harmonic elimination in a quasi Z-source cascaded multilevel inverter (QZS-CMI) is proposed. According to real condition, the DC sources feeding the inverter are considered to be varying in time. In this condition, the switching angle and shoot-through duty ratio for each module are obtained off-line for different DC source values using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The off-line data set …

Simulation and Analysis of UPFC for Power Transmission
Abstract: The complexity of the power system grows hand in hand with the growth in power transfers which leads to system becoming less secure to ride through outages. Large power flows with inadequate control, excessive reactive power, dynamic swings between different parts of the system and bottlenecks reduce the potential of the transmission interconnections. With the increase in demand for power, has in fact increased the complexity of the power system, …

Power System Stabilizer Design based on Honey-Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm
Abstract: Power system stability is one of the main factors in performance of electrical system. A control system must retain frequency and voltage size under any distortion such as sudden increase in load, to leave a generator from circuit or cut off a transmission line in a constant level. In this paper, Honey-bee mating optimization (HBMO) algorithm has been used to design power system stabilizer. It is based on the mating …

Design and Simulation of Speed Control of DC Motor and DC Voltage Control of Two Quadrant Chopper
Abstract: The DC motors are most suitable for wide range speed control and hence it is used in many adjustable speed drives. The DC motors are generally fed by chopper circuit for improved performance. In order to get smooth and precise control over the speed of DC motor, many different types of controllers have already been introduced. In this paper, two discrete-time multi-input and multi-output optimal controllers, one for control of …

Damping Power System Oscillations using Fuzzy based Power System Stabilizer with Seven and Nine Linguistic Variables
Abstract: Low-frequency oscillations are created in a power system due to insufficient damping. Low-frequency oscillations in a power system can be damped using conventional power system stabilizer (CPSS) or fuzzy-based power system stabilizer (FLPSS). The performance of FLPSS is significantly affected by the number of linguistic variables used in designing FLPSS. In this paper, FLPSS is designed to damp the low frequency oscillations in a power system. The novelty of the …

Design of Thin AC Converters (TACCS) using Dual Virtual Quadrature Source Concept
Abstract: Conventional grid control has been based on static assets that are switched in or out for a considerable long time. Traditionally excitation control of generators has provided continuous control in the grid system. Recently, dynamic grid control has been achieved by the use of FACTS devices, i.e. TCR, STATCOM and UPFC, etc. These FACTS devices are expensive and reliability, maintainability are the main problems. For STATCOM devices, the need to …
