Transactions WSEAS sur les systèmes d'alimentation Avis: À partir de 2014 et pour les années à venir, la périodicité de publication des périodiques WSEAS est adaptée au modèle 39 constamment mis à jour39. Ce qui signifie que, au lieu d'être séparés en questions, de nouveaux documents seront ajoutés sur une base continue, permettant un flux plus régulier et des temps de publication plus courts. Les documents apparaîtront dans l'ordre inverse, donc le plus récent sera sur le dessus. Titre du document: Analyse comparative et simulation de certaines composantes des systèmes d'énergie modernes (EPS, PSE) de lsquoClassicalrsquo Aircraft et lsquoMore All Electric Aircraftrsquo (MEA AEA) Auteurs: Lucjan Setlak, Rafa Kowalik Résumé: Architecture de puissance dans le domaine des systèmes de puissance électrique EPS (Electric Power Systems) et les systèmes d'énergie électronique de puissance PES (Power Electronics Systems), à la fois civil 39 avions classiques aérienne Airbus et Boeing (A-320, B-767) et militaire Lockheed Martin (F-16) ainsi que des avions civils MEA AEA (A-380 et A-350XWB, B-787) et JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) F-35 et F-22 Raptor. Sur la base de ce qui précède, les auteurs ont effectué une analyse comparative de ces systèmes, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur la simulation dynamique de certains composants de systèmes individuels (EPS, PES), y compris leurs modèles mathématiques. L'objectif principal de ce travail était de simuler une gamme de EPS (moteur synchrone) et sur le convertisseur PES (48 impulsions), en présentant leurs modèles mathématiques et en s'appuyant sur une analyse comparative de systèmes d'alimentation avancés avec la tendance de MEA AEA avion. Dans la dernière partie, nous présentons les principales conclusions découlant de l'analyse et de la simulation d'éléments sélectionnés de l'architecture des systèmes d'alimentation (EPS, PES) de 39 avions classiques39 et de l'avancée en ligne avec la nouvelle tendance de 39MEA AEA.

La production croissante d'électricité dans les sources renouvelables intermittentes, qui sont distribuées dans le réseau, augmente les exigences pour assurer la stabilité du réseau électrique et aussi sur la fourniture de services auxiliaires. En raison des goulots d'étranglement susceptibles de se produire dans le réseau, il peut ne pas être possible d'utiliser tous les services auxiliaires considérés. Par conséquent, elle crée la nécessité de définir une interface pour partager des informations sur des plages de puissance sûres transmises entre des réseaux de transmission et de distribution, pour lesquelles le fonctionnement sécurisé du réseau peut être garanti.

Le modèle d'évaluation des risques du réseau de distribution est établi selon deux aspects: le risque opérationnel et le risque réseau. Le risque opérationnel reflète le niveau de risque de l'état d'exploitation actuel du réseau de distribution, tandis que le risque de réseau reflète les risques potentiels résultant des défauts de la structure du réseau. Ensuite, le système d'indice d'évaluation du risque correspondant du réseau de distribution est établi, et les valeurs quantifiées du risque et la cote de risque sont calculées en fonction des valeurs de l'indice. Le niveau de risque global du réseau de distribution est calculé en fonction des résultats de calcul ci-dessus, et les poids variables et la méthode du logarithme sont utilisés dans le processus de calcul. Enfin, un exemple numérique montre que le modèle d'évaluation des risques proposé est faisable et que la méthode d'évaluation des risques est efficace. Le modèle d'évaluation des risques proposé a été adopté par Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau de la Chine Southern Power Grid, et l'effet de l'application est bonne.

Résumé: Cet article explore l'effet de la régulation et de la température sur les propriétés photométriques et électriques des sources lumineuses artificielles couramment utilisées dans le domaine de la photométrie, Utilisé dans les bâtiments résidentiels et administratifs. Alors que la consommation d'énergie pour les systèmes d'éclairage est l'un des principaux domaines d'utilisation, il est possible d'améliorer ce système d'éclairage et de réduire la consommation d'énergie. Bien que plusieurs approches théoriques soient disponibles, seules certaines d'entre elles peuvent être utilisées, en raison des limites des normes qui fixent la qualité de l'environnement lumineux, par exemple le niveau d'éclairement, l'uniformité d'éclairement, le rendu des couleurs respectivement la température de couleur ou les exigences d'éblouissement. En raison de ces limitations, ce papier compare l'éclairement relatif, la température de couleur, la composition spectrale et la courbe I-V pour différentes températures et niveau de régulation pour calculer le système d'éclairage idéal. Pour la régulation de la température a été utilisé chambre climatique, qui maintient la température sélectionnée. Pour la régulation de source lumineuse a été utilisé KNX acteur de régulation. La mesure ne montre pas d'impact de température considérable sur les propriétés photométriques ou électriques des sources lumineuses artificielles. Ce fait sera utilisé pour le calcul de l'environnement lumineux idéal avec une consommation d'énergie économique.

Un modèle de marché basé sur la vente aux enchères combinatoire pour le commerce de l'électricité est introduit, où l'autorité centrale (AC) La réalisation de l'enchère est intégrée au gestionnaire de réseau de transport (GRT). Le GRT reçoit les demandes et les prix des consommateurs et organise une vente aux enchères combinatoire basée sur le débit pour les producteurs. Pour chaque sous-ensemble de demandes déclarées, un générateur évalue son coût de production potentiel et offre selon cette valeur. Pendant la vente aux enchères, les limites de transmission du réseau électrique sous-jacent sont prises explicitement en compte, ainsi les capacités de transmission sont utilisées efficacement. Le modèle améliore l'utilisation la plus efficace des caractéristiques de production concave des générateurs. Nous montrons que dans ce concept le TSO est motivé pour l'expansion du réseau.

La comparaison des performances a été faite pour le réseau de réseaux comprenant deux centrales thermiques raccordées en ligne. Pour utiliser la méthode de commande optimale basée sur un contrôleur LQR-PI et une méthode calculée intelligente telle qu'un contrôleur de gain de rétroaction (K) basé sur PSO, la modélisation de l'espace d'état du système a été effectuée. Le modèle de fonction de transfert du système est utilisé pour trouver la réponse du contrôleur Integral. Dans un système de commande de génération efficace, le changement de fréquence doit être minimal au cours de la variation de charge. La technique proposée du contrôleur de gain de rétroaction (K) basée sur le PSO a été trouvée la plus efficace pour améliorer la réponse en fréquence.

Un moteur à induction alimenté par une éolienne. L'éolienne joue un rôle moteur dans un générateur DC connecté.

Résumé: Les paramètres de la qualité d'alimentation (PQ) tels que la valeur RMS de la tension, la distorsion harmonique totale (THD) et le facteur de puissance (PF) sont les principaux sujets à considérer lors de la connexion de charges sensibles à la grille. Dans cet article, un conditionneur de qualité d'alimentation (UPQC) basé sur un convertisseur de matrice indirecte (IMC) est proposé pour résoudre certains problèmes de PQ comme l'atténuation des harmoniques de tension et la compensation des creux et des houles lors de l'alimentation d'une charge sensible. De plus, il permet d'atténuer les harmoniques de courant de grille dans le point de couplage commun (PCC). La commande du convertisseur est réalisée en utilisant la méthode de commande en mode glissant, associée à la représentation de vecteur d'espace d'état, permettant des temps de réponse rapides aux perturbations dans la grille. L'ensemble du système est testé dans le logiciel MATLAB Simulink, et les résultats obtenus montrent qu'il garantit l'amélioration du PQ dans le PCC.

Résumé: La production d'électricité à partir de l'énergie éolienne a reçu une attention et une intégration considérables de l'énergie éolienne, de l'énergie éolienne, de l'énergie éolienne et de l'énergie éolienne. Les parcs éoliens basés sur des générateurs à double alimentation à induction (DFIG) peuvent avoir des impacts importants sur le fonctionnement du système d'alimentation. Cet article analyse et compare l'intégration d'appareils de parc éolien et de systèmes de transmission à courant alternatif (FACTS) et leur impact sur les systèmes de bus IEEE-9 et IEEE-30. Le réseau ouest-algérien (2012) est également sélectionné pour l'étude et différents cas ont été simulés dans la Boîte à Outils d'Analyse du Système de Puissance basée sur MATLAB. Par conséquent, nous devons choisir parmi les dispositifs FACTS, ceux avec des applications spécifiques telles que la commande du flux de puissance, compensateur de série contrôlée par thyristor (TCSC) est le meilleur choix pour un bon contrôle du flux de puissance et par conséquent la réduction des pertes de puissance active et réactive.

Le système d'alimentation multi-composants, complexe et dynamique présente de sérieux problèmes d'harmoniques qui rend le système non linéaire. Les harmoniques dans le système de conversion de l'énergie éolienne est principalement causée par l'effet de charge non-liner des convertisseurs électroniques de puissance et la charge non-liner. Cet article présente une combinaison efficace de filtre analogique pour la réduction harmonique d'un système intégré de conversion d'énergie éolienne utilisant le générateur synchrone à aimants permanents (PMSG). Le but principal de la combinaison de filtre analogique est de réduire la distorsion harmonique totale (THD) à différents bus. Diverses combinaisons sont prises en utilisant différents filtres analogiques et méthodes de conception. Ces combinaisons sont utilisées à des bus 575V, 25 KV, 120 KV et les résultats sont obtenus en conditions normales ou défectueuses. Les résultats sont analysés pour différents défauts à 575V bus et les meilleures combinaisons sont suggérés 575V, 25 KV, 120 kV bus.

Ionel Laurentiu Alboteanu Résumé: L'article présente un aspect de l'augmentation de la production d'énergie des systèmes photovoltaïques en concentrant le rayonnement solaire et l'orientation des modules photovoltaïques. Pour focaliser la lumière solaire sur la surface photovoltaïque et augmenter ainsi l'énergie absorbée, les systèmes solaires photovoltaïques de concentration utilisaient soit des éléments optiques rétractables (habituellement des lentilles de Fresnel), soit des éléments réfléchissants (habituellement des miroirs). Le système de concentration photovoltaïque vise à réduire les dépenses relatives à la surface photovoltaïque et à la remplacer par des matériaux optiques. Les problèmes de conception géométrique sont présentés pour ces systèmes adaptés aux conditions d'une certaine localisation géographique. Le papier a commencé avec la modélisation d'angles spécifiques du panneau photovoltaïque et se termine par un prototype de système photovoltaïque à faible concentration (LCPV). Les résultats de simulation montrent que la longueur supplémentaire diminue avec l'angle formé entre le miroir et le module photovoltaïque x, et augmente avec l'angle d'incidence h, c'est-à-dire avec la durée de l'étape d'orientation. En outre, le rapport de concentration augmente avec l'augmentation de l'angle x. Afin de ne pas surpondérer la structure de support du système LCPV, on a utilisé des matériaux avec un poids léger.

Le convertisseur peut être configuré dans les topologies symétriques et asymétriques et la gamme des niveaux de tension est limitée par le matériel des quatre ponts H. Le convertisseur peut également être configuré pour obtenir des modulations de 3 niveaux et jusqu'à 81 niveaux. Pour configurer le convertisseur, une interface utilisateur graphique MATLABreg a été développée afin de faciliter les changements de topologie et sélectionne le nombre de niveaux de tension et d'angles de commutation. Il permet également d'optimiser les modulations en commutant des angles par un algorithme génétique. Les données d'interface sont codées et transmises à un FPGA qui commande le convertisseur multiniveau configurable.

Le premier est utilisé pour atteindre MPPT en surveillant la tension et le courant du réseau photovoltaïque et en ajustant le cycle de service du convertisseur CC continu. Le deuxième régulateur PI est conçu pour la régulation de la vitesse du moteur de la série DC en réglant la tension appliquée au moteur de la série DC par un autre convertisseur DCDC. Le problème de conception proposé de MPPT et de contrôleur de vitesse est formulé comme un problème d'optimisation qui est résolu par la colonie abeille artificielle (ABC) pour rechercher des paramètres optimaux de contrôleurs PI. Les résultats de la simulation ont montré la validité de la technique proposée pour délivrer le système de pompe à moteur MPPT à série DC dans des conditions atmosphériques et pour suivre la vitesse de référence du moteur série DC.

Permana, LO Ahmad, SH Sabarwati, LOAN Ramadhan Résumé : La modification des membranes de chitosane utilisant le lithium a été développée. Les membranes de chitosane ont été préparées à partir de plusieurs degrés de désacétylation du chitosane. L'effet du degré de désacétylation sur les propriétés de conductivité ionique des membranes de chitosane, l'effet de la concentration des membranes chitosane-lithium et la capacité de conductivité ionique en tant que polymère électrolytique pour l'application de la batterie au lithium polymère ont été étudiés. Les membranes ont été préparées par le procédé d'évaporation du solvant. La spectroscopie infrarouge à transformée de Fourier montre un pic à 1573,8 cm "1 correspondant à l'interaction ionique entre le sel de lithium et les groupes NH2 à partir du chitosane. L'analyse par microscopie électronique à balayage a montré une forte densité des pores et une rigidité de la microstructure de la membrane de chitosane, tandis que les membranes de chitosane-lithium ont des amas qui indiquent le dépôt de sel de nitrate de lithium dans les chaînes de polymères de chitosane. La capacité d'absorption d'eau des membranes de chitosane-lithium était supérieure à celle de la membrane de chitosane. L'analyse de la résistance à la traction a montré que les membranes de chitosane-lithium étaient plus élastiques que les membranes de chitosane. La conductivité de la membrane de Chitosan et la capacité d'échange d'ions sont de 1,70 x 10-2 S. cm-1 et 2,11 meq. g-1, tandis que la conductivité après addition de sel de lithium augmente à 8,53 x 10-2 S. cm-1 et 3,16 meq. g -1, respectivement. Le résultat a indiqué que la modification du chitosane par l'addition de sel de lithium augmentait la conductivité ionique de la membrane et les valeurs de capacité d'échange d'ions. Cette membrane d'électrolyte polymère solide a un potentiel pour être utilisée comme électrolyte polymère dans la batterie au lithium.

Résumé: L'étude de la lésion causée par un accident de cycliste véhicule-adolescent est présentée dans le document intitulé «L'accident du cycliste véhicule-adolescent» ce papier. Les résultats de l'accident avec trois véhicules: berline, SUV et Pick up sont comparés. Trois positions différentes sont analysées: avant, arrière et latérale. La blessure sur la tête du cycliste est examinée selon le critère HIC, de la manière indiquée par les règles. Une comparaison est faite entre les résultats des simulations pour Pick up, SUV et berline, concluant que la blessure de la tête est plus dangereuse pour Pick-up impact que SUV ou la berline, mais seulement à une vitesse supérieure à 40 kmh. Le cycliste adolescent est plus susceptible de subir une blessure à la poitrine dans les impacts arrière avec la berline, parce que 3 ms valeurs restent au-dessus des valeurs obtenues avec le SUV et Pick up. Contrairement Pick up pourrait causer de plus grandes blessures à la poitrine dans l'impact avant et latéraux en raison de plus grande hauteur du sol. La masse du véhicule n'a pas une grande importance, mais seulement à faible vitesse. On considère que le cycliste adulte a une meilleure chance de survivre dans la collision frontale d'impact que le piéton adulte, parce que les valeurs HIC restent constamment en dessous des valeurs déterminées. Une comparaison supplémentaire est faite entre les points d'impact des trois véhicules en concluant que la forme du capot et la hauteur de la partie avant doivent être étudiées avec soin afin de réduire les dommages aux cyclistes et aux piétons. Enfin, on calcule la distance de projection et on la compare aux données de la littérature, en concluant qu'elles dépendent fortement de la position relative.

Bulucea, Doru A. Nicola, Marc A. Rosen, Carmen A La durabilité des véhicules ferroviaires électriques est liée à la fois au rendement énergétique élevé et à l 'impact environnemental atténué à tous les stades de la vie (production, utilisation et fin de vie). Il est largement admis que la performance environnementale du fonctionnement du moteur de traction est étroitement liée à son efficacité de conversion d'énergie. Conformément à cette idée, le fonctionnement durable des moteurs électriques de traction sur les systèmes ferroviaires représente un objectif important aujourd'hui dans le développement de locomotives et de trains à haute puissance et à grande vitesse. Actuellement, les trains électriques à grande vitesse fonctionnent principalement avec des moteurs asynchrones triphasés ou des moteurs synchrones triphasés comme moteurs de traction. Les deux types de machines électriques ont des rendements différents à différents points de fonctionnement et connaissent des différences en matière de sécurité, de vitesse et de puissance, d'utilisation d'énergie et d'efficacité d'exergie. Une question importante qui corrèle ces aspects de durabilité est le couple électromagnétique développé par un moteur électrique de traction, en tenant compte du fait que la large plage de couple-vitesse de fonctionnement requise pour le véhicule ferroviaire électrique impose des contraintes significatives pour obtenir un rendement élevé du moteur de traction. Afin de fournir une vue d'ensemble des performances techniques et environnementales de l'exploitation durable des trains électriques, une analyse détaillée de la capacité de couple électromagnétique des moteurs électriques à courant alternatif utilisés comme moteurs de traction dans les locomotives modernes à haute puissance ou à grande vitesse est effectuée. Les résultats de ces travaux peuvent aider à améliorer les principaux critères d'optimisation du fonctionnement à haut rendement de systèmes de traction de chemin de fer électriques durables.

Résumé: La prévision de la charge à court terme (STLF) est un processus de prévision de la charge à court terme (STLF). ), Qui vise à prédire la charge du système sur un intervalle d'un jour ou d'une semaine, joue un rôle crucial dans les opérations de contrôle et de planification d'un système d'alimentation. Most existing techniques on short term load forecasting try to improve the performance by selecting different prediction models. However, the performance also rely heavily on the quality of training data. Although the grey forecasting model has been successfully adopted in various fields and has demonstrated promising results. This paper proposes three short term load forecasting models based on Grey System theory, namely Grey One Index Model (GM(1,1)), Grey Two Index Model using previous year similar day values as input along with previous hour values (GMY (1,2)) and Grey Two Index Model using previous day values as input along with previous hour values (GMD (1,2)) respectively.

The amount of regeneration energy sources in the network integration of infinite energy, mainly due to changes in the flow of energy. From these sources, in order to ensure the quality of power, in the case of cable resistance, and striking which can be applied mainly AC voltage from high-quality, energy storage, and a significant level to inject energy. On the other hand, this is not a useful resolution. In this article, the energy storage super capacitors have been proposed to be used as the main power source to obtain the time needed to support demand management to work properly (the energy, as the infrastructure, installation via ICT). As a result, it is possible sources.

Chandra Shekar, G. Ravi Kumar, S. V. N. L. Lalitha Abstract: This paper introduces a novel protection scheme for protecting multi-terminal transmission system combined with microgrid comprises of wind, solar, fuel cell energy sources. Microgrids provide clear economic and environmental benefits for end-customers, utilities and society. However, their implementation poses great technical challenges, such as a protection of microgrid and transmission system. Protection must respond to both utility grid and microgrid faults. The major challenges are a protection system for microgrid which must respond to main grid as well as microgrid faults. After the microgrid is model is developed and it is connected to an equivalent multi terminal transmission system. Wavelet Multi Resolution Analysis is used for detection, classification and location of faults on multi terminal transmission system as well as microgrid resources. The proposed algorithm is tested and it is proved for the detection, classification of faults on transmission system with microgrid which is almost independent of fault impedance, fault inception angle and fault distance of feeder line.

The objective of this work is to optimize the number of necessary measurements and Remote Terminal Units, subject to the constraints of the system observability requirements for best voltage estimation. A global optimization algorithm and Particle Swam Optimization is proposed to fulfil the requirement. The parameter values are estimated using the Hybrid Artificial Neural Network based state estimation technique of injecting pseudo measurements at un-metered buses. The algorithm is simulated for IEEE and Indian standard bus distribution systems and the results are presented. The effectiveness and flexibility of PSO are demonstrated by validating the results with Mathematical techniques and the effectiveness of estimator.

Mohamed Iqbal, R. Joseph Xavier, J. Kanakaraj Abstract: Biomass is identified as one of the major renewable energy sources for electrical power generation. Heavy duty gas turbine engines are preferred for clean and efficient power generation. An extensive literature survey reveals that the governor droop setting of the heavy duty gas turbines varies from 2 percentage to 10 percentage. But it needs to be optimized for analyzing the dynamic response of heavy duty gas turbine plants in grid connected operation. An attempt has been made in this paper to optimize the speedtronic governor droop setting of all heavy duty gas turbine plants ranging from 18.2MW to 102.6MW using genetic algorithm. Step response of all heavy duty gas turbine plants with the genetic algorithm based droop setting are obtained using MATLABSimulink. On comparing the simulation results based on all time domain specifications and performance index criteria, it is witnessed that the genetic algorithm based droop setting yield optimal transient and steady state responses than the previous findings using SYSTAT software. Therefore the genetic algorithm based droop setting is identified as the optimal droop setting for all heavy duty gas turbine plants in grid connected operation.

Villarreal, Jorge W. Gonzaacutelez, Gabriel J. Lopez, Idi A. Isaac, Hugo A. Cardona Abstract: This paper proposes a hybrid distributed state estimation algorithm with synchronized phasor measurements. The implementation is easy since it initially uses a conventional or traditional state estimation and then adds a non-iterative second linear step calculation, which can be implemented by software without hardware investments. Distributed algorithm accuracy was verified in a well-known power system. Even though it was a little less than the state estimation made to the complete system, it offers a faster computation. Hence, for applications that require real-time awareness of the power system, the distributed scheme results are a great alternative that can significantly reduce the bandwidth requirements, like time delays in the processes involved in the supervision and control of the power system. The proposed algorithm makes use of a central coordinator and assumes that each area of the system has at least one synchronized phasor measurement that allows finding the synchronization angles with respect to the angular reference of the system.

It introduces two optimization algorithms: biogeography based optimization (BBO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), that are used to design the POD controllers. The optimal set of parameters for the controllers are found using two different objective functions, eigenvalue based objective function and time based objective function, over a wide range of system operating points in order to obtain a robust controller. The obtained controllers are then verified and tested over four different loading conditions of the system with different system parameter uncertainties introduced in each case.

R. Balamurugan, S. P. Natarajan, R. Bensraj, T. S. Anandhi Abstract: In this paper, hybrid modulation methods suitable for H-bridge MLI is discussed. The results of experimental work using dSPACE system only are presented for three phase five level cascaded type inverter. Different hybrid carrier PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) strategies using sinusoidal reference, third harmonic injection reference, 60 degree reference and stepped wave reference for the chosen inverter are initially developed using SIMULINK. Strategies developed are then implemented in real time using dSPACERTI. The five level output voltages of the chosen MLI (Multi Level Inverter) obtained using the dSPACE system based PWM strategies and the corresponding THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and VRMS (fundamental) are presented and analyzed. It is seen that PSVF (Phase shift Variable Frequency) and PSPD (Phase Disposition) for sinusoidal reference. PSVF and COPS for THI (Third Harmonic Injection) reference, PDVF for 60 degree reference and APODPD and PDVF for stepped wave provides output with relatively low distortion. It is found that COPD with sine reference, APODCO and COPS PWM with THI reference, COPD PWM with 60 degree reference and APODCO and COPD PWM with stepped wave reference perform better since it provides relatively higher fundamental RMS output voltage and relatively lower stress on the devices. The simulation and hardware results closely match with each other.

Surender Reddy Abstract: The operational aspects of power systems pose some of the most challenging problems encountered in the restructuring of electric power industry. This paper focuses on Congestion Management within an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) framework in the deregulated electricity market scenario. The conventional OPF problem is modified to create a mechanism that enables the market players to compete and trade, and simultaneously ensures that the system operation stays within the security constraints. The centralizedpool and bilateral dispatch functions of an Independent System Operator (ISO) are considered in this paper. Here, Multi-Objective Grenade Explosion Method (MO-GEM) based approach is presented to formulate as multi-objective optimization problem with competing fuel cost and system loss minimization as objective functions. The proposed approach is tested on IEEE 30 bus system. The simulation results revealed the capabilities of the proposed MO-GEM approach to generate well distributed Pareto optimal non-dominated solutions of multi-objective generation cost and transmission loss minimization.

The Direct Torque Control (DTC) is known to produce quick and robust response in AC drive system. However, during steady state, torque, flux and current ripple occurs. An improvement of electric drive system can be obtained using a DTC method based on ANNs which reduces the torque and flux ripples. The rotor speed and stator flux are estimated by the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) scheme which is determined from measured terminal voltages and currents. The speed loop is carried out by a Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller (FSMC) giving high performance and robustness to the drive system. The MATLAB SIMULINK is used to perform the simulation. The simulated results of this method are discussed and compared with conventional DTC.

Energy storage systems (ESS) are being considered as a potential solution for this problem since it can increase the power being exported to the grid by the wind farm, making it more stable, and therefore guarantying its economic feasibility. In this paper an economic study is carried out to analyze the economic feasibility for the integration of flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) with a wind power plant. It was concluded that the installation of the FESS is only feasible with the government subsidy in renewable energy projects, if considering that installation costs would not be reduced more than 10 of the estimated value. In addition, the integration of ESS would potentially improve the load factor of the power plant by increasing the load factor and therefore, make the project more profitable from an independent power producer perspective.

These nonlinear loads cause a serious problems that affect the power quality in both transmission and distribution systems. One of the major Power quality problems is Harmonic pollution. Understanding and quantifying the harmonics level in electrical power grid are crucial before proposing any successful method for mitigating harmonics problems in the grid. In this paper, the harmonics level in Jordan Low-Voltage Electrical Power Grid (JLVEPG) is investigated. The loads are divided into five categories. (i) industrial loads, (ii) commercial loads, (iii) hospital loads, (iv) residential loads, and (v) office loads. Assuming each category will inject similar harmonics in the grid, which will facilitate harmonic assessment in the power system. Also, this categorization of the loads will make proposing harmonic mitigation solutions much easier. A field measurement for the major electrical units (Voltages, currents, and power) in JLVEPG is carried out for different locations in multiple cities. These measurements are followed by data analysis techniques in order to identify the total harmonic distortion (THD), the most dominant harmonic in each load category, and the harmonic power as a ratio to the active power.

The direct numerical integration method, Heppersquos method and Kouteynikoffrsquos method have the most broad influence in the previous publications, and the accuracy of these algorithms require further evaluation. A software for simulating grounding systems has been developed based on the method of moments in this paper, it implements the above several important algorithms. Under the assumption of uniform soil and ignoring the conductor impedance, the calculation results of the above methods and CDEGS are compared, and sources of error are analyzed. Furthermore, since the grounding electrode need to be cut into small segments properly when using the method of moment, the effect of the conductorrsquos different divisions for accuracy is analyzed quantitatively, and the rule of the calculation accuracy of grounding resistance with the change of segment numbers is obtained. After comparison of the above methods in the case study, theoretical analysis and program test reveal the theoretical flaw of the Kouteynikoff39s method.

In the Smart Grid market, both the supplier and broker agent earn profit while distributing the electrical energy. They have to balance the supply and demand during the distribution of energy. They also participate in energy trading to earn more money. To minimize trading risks, forecasting of wholesale electricity prices is necessary. A Real Time Price (RTP) based power scheduling scheme can be implemented effectively in Smart Grid to match supply and demand. In this scheme, Home Energy Controllers (HEC) and Smart Plugs can be used to shift the operation of schedulable load from peak period to off-peak period. To shift the operation of schedulable load during off-peak period, electricity price should be available in advance. In order to have the electricity price in advance, accurate forecasting is needed. Demand and supply depends on so many factors such as weather condition, cloud cover, wind speed, day of the week and festivals. It is difficult to forecast energy prices in such uncertainty. In this work, the best fitted seasonal ARIMA (Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average) model is identified and used to forecast the next weekrsquos electricity price. This forecasted electricity price helps in deciding the next dayrsquos load pattern and minimizing the trading risk. Algorithms for HEC and Smart Plug are presented in this work to identify the optimized time slots and to allow power to the schedulable appliances during those slots.

K. Nguang Abstract: This paper presents a development of Acoustic energy transfer (AET) system through air medium using push-pull power converter. The push-pull converter may operate under zero voltage switching condition at resonance frequency and capable to minimize switching losses. This paper investigates the performance of AET through the air by using ceramic disc ultrasonic transducer, specifically for low power applications. A multiple input-output transducer is also designed in this paper. The simulation and experimental works are carried out and the obtained results are analysed accordingly. Based on the experimental results, the 1.07mW output power is obtained at 40kHz operating frequency. The multiple transceiver design offers 100 efficiency of energy transmission which is 7.24mW output power.

Arulmurugan Abstract: A new intelligent technique of tracing the peak power point of a standalone photovoltaic (PV) module using Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) is presented in this paper which exploits the effects of the characteristic of PV module. Partial shaded and change in weather conditions produces numerous local maximum peak points (MPP), which makes the tracing of the multiple global peak power a challenging task. Furthermost of traditional tracing technique fail to operate correctly under these non-uniform irradiance situations. The real traditional FLC search based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) flops to trace the peak power under partial shaded situations. This paper advances the technique by considering the wide range of search and power ripple so that the designed FLC technique traces maximum power for all the situations. It is tested for dissimilar weather condition through Matlab simulation and verified laboratory experimentally. In this paper, the merits of using a novel FLC is also offered. Three inputs and single output fuzzy rules are developed. From the Matlab simulation outcomes, it is observed that the FLC controlling technique decreases error and it provides rapid reaction to environmentally friendly variations. The competence of the designed technique has closely coordinated with the true maximum power point (MPP) and the successful laboratory experimental results attained with a 100 Watt photovoltaic module specify that the method can be favourably realized for photovoltaic standalone system.

A. Elhameed, Mahmoud M. Elkholy Abstract: Optimal power flow is the most complicated economical problem in power system operation. This is due to the nonlinearity of load flow equations and constraints on voltage, thermal limits and angle and voltage stability. The objective of this problem is to distribute system loads among generators with minimum cost while achieving all equality and inequality constraints. Nowadays, meta heuristic methods are used to solve this problem such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm and tabu search. In this paper Cuckoo search is investigated with additional constraints on voltage stability and output of reactive power compensators. Considering the initial load angles of generators will enhance the transient stability of power system. Results obtained by Cuckoo search are compared to that obtained by genetic algorithm, Tabu search and gradient descent methods. With the same loading conditions and constraints, Cuckoo search based optimal power flow gives less cost compared to these methods. The algorithm is investigated on IEEE 30 bus system.

Though various methods have been developed to interpret DGA results, sometimes they fail to determine the faults. Forecasting of the ratios of key-gas in transformer oil is a complicated problem due to its non-linearity and the small amount of training data. This paper presents Intuitionistic Fuzzy System (IFS) to diagnose several faults in a transformer. This proposed approach is recommended for fault transformer diagnosis and the suitable actions to be taken. It has been proved to be a very advantageous tool for transformer diagnosis and upkeep planning. This method is applied to an independent data of different power transformers and various case studies of historic trends of transformer units. This method has been successfully used to identify the type of fault developing within a transformer even if there is conflict in the results of AI technique applied to DGA data.
