Artificial Neural Network based Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Improvement of P...
Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a custom power device used as an effective solution in protecting sensitive loads from voltage disturbances in power distribution systems. The efficiency of the control technique, that conducts the switching of the inverters, determines the DVR efficiency. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is the general technique to do that. The power quality restoration capabilities of this controller are limited, and it produces significant amount of harmonics – all of which stems from this linear technique’s application for controlling non-linear DVR. As a solution, this paper proposes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based controller for enhancing restoration and harmonics suppression capabilities of DVR. A detailed comparison of Neural Network controller with PID driven controller and Fuzzy logic driven controller is also illustrated, where the proposed controller demonstrated superior performance with a mere 13.5% Total Harmonic Distortion.
A Novel Design of PI Current Controller for PMSG-based Wind Turbine Consideri...
This paper presents a novel design process of decoupled PI current controller for permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbines feeding a grid-tied inverter through back-to-back converter. Specifically, the design methodology consists of combining disturbance observer-based control (DOBC) with feedback linearization (FBL) technique to ensure nominal transient performance recovery under model uncertainty. By simplifying the DOBC under the feedback linearizing control, it is shown that the composite controller reduces to a decoupled PI current controller plus an additional term that has the main role of recovering the nominal transient performance of the feedback linearization, especially under step changes in the reference. Additionally, an anti windup compensator arises naturally into the controller when considering the control input saturation to design the DOBC. This permits to remove the effect of the saturation blocks required to limit the control input. The proposed control scheme is implemented and validated through experimentation conducted on 22-pole, 5 kW PMSG. The results revealed that the proposed technique can successfully achieve nominal performance recovery under model uncertainty as well as improved transient performances under control saturation.

Renewable energy sources; which are abundant in nature and climate friendly are the only preferable choice of the world to provide green energy. The limitation of most renewable energy sources specifically wind and solar PV is its intermittent nature which are depend on wind speed and solar irradiance respectively and this leads to power fluctuations. To compensate and protect sensitive loads from being affected by the power distribution side fluctuations and faults, dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is commonly used. This research work attempts to withstand and secure the effect of voltage fluctuation of grid connected hybrid PV-wind power system. To do so battery and super magnetic energy storage (SMES) based DVR is used as a compensating device in case of voltage sag condition. The compensation method used is a pre-sag compensation which locks the instantaneous real time three phase voltage magnitude and angle in normal condition at the point of common coupling (PCC) and stores independently so that during a disturbance it used for compensation. Symmetrical and asymmetrical voltage sags scenario are considered and compensation is carried out using Power System Computer Aided Design or Electro Magnetic Transient Design and Control (PSCAD/EMTDC) software.

In order to realize this control scheme of DVR MATLAB/SIMULINK atmosphere was used. The results of proposed design of DVR’s control scheme are compared with the results of existing classical DVR which clearly demonstrate the successful compensation of voltage quality problems by injecting minimum active power.

Power Quality Assessment of Voltage Positive Feedback Based Islanding Detecti...
Islanding refers to a condition where distributed generators (DGs) inject power solely to the local load after electrical separation from power grid. Several islanding detection methods (IDMs) categorized into remote, active, and passive groups have been reported to detect this undesirable state. In active techniques, a disturbance is injected into the DG’s controller to drift a local yardstick out of the permissible range. Although this disturbance leads to more effective detections even in well-balanced island, it raises the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output current under the normal operation conditions. This paper analyzes the power quality aspect of the modified sliding mode controller as a new active IDM for grid-connected photovoltaic system (GCPVS) with a string inverter. Its performance is compared with the voltage positive feedback (VPF) method, a well-known active IDM. This evaluation is carried out for a 1 kWp GCPVS in MATLAB/Simulink platform by measuring the output current harmonics and THD as well as the efficiency under various penetration and disturbance levels. The output results demonstrate that since the proposed disturbance changes the amplitude of the output current, it does not generate harmonics/subharmonics. Thereby, it has a negligible adverse effect on power quality. It is finally concluded that the performance of the sliding mode-based IDM is reliable from the standpoints of islanding detection and power quality.

A Simple Active and Reactive Power Control for Applications of Single-Phase E...
Aiming at effective power management in microgrids with high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs), the paper proposes a simple power control for the so-called second-generation, single-phase electric springs (ES-2), that overcomes the shortcomings of the existing ES control methods. By the proposed control, the unpredictable power generated from RESs is divided into two parts, i.e. the one absorbed by the ES-2 that still varies and the other injected into the grid that turns to be controllable, by a simple and accurate signal manipulation that works both at steady-state and during RES transients. It is believed that such a control is suitable for the distributed power generation, especially at domestic homes.
In the paper, the proposed control is supported by a theoretical background. Its effectiveness is at first validated by simulations and then by experiments. To this purpose, a typical RES application is considered, and an experimental setup is arranged, built up around an ES-2 implementing the proposed control. Testing of the setup is carried out in three steps and proves not only the smooth operation of the ES-2 itself, but also its capability in running the application properly.
Single-Stage Power-Factor-Correction Circuit with Flyback Converter to Drive ...
White light emitting diode (LED) with high brightness has attracted a lot of attention from both
industry and academia for its high efficiency, ease to drive, environmental friendliness, and long
lifespan. They become possible applications to replace the incandescent bulbs and fluorescent
lamps in residential, industrial and commercial lighting. The realization of this new lighting
source requires both tight LED voltage regulation and high power factor as well. This paper
proposed a single-stage flyback converter for the LED lighting applications and input power
factor correction. A type-II compensator has been inserted in the voltage loop providing
sufficient bandwidth and stable phase margin. The flyback converter is controlled with voltage
mode pulse width modulation (PWM) and run in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) so that
the inductor current follows the rectified input voltage, resulting in high power factor. A
prototype topology of closed-loop, single stage flyback converter for LED driver circuit designed
for an 18W LED lighting source is constructed and tested to verify the theoretical predictions.
The measured performance of the LED lighting fixture can achieve a high power factor greater
than 0.998 and a low total harmonic distortion less than 5.0%. Experimental results show the
functionality of the overall system and prove it to be an effective solution for the new lighting
applications.
A Sensorless Power Reserve Control Strategy for Two-Stage Grid-Connected PV S...
Due to the still increasing penetration of grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) systems, advanced active power control functionalities have been introduced in grid regulations. A power reserve control, where namely the active power from the PV panels is reserved during operation, is required for grid support. In this paper, a cost-effective solution to realize the power reserve for two-stage grid-connected PV systems is proposed. The proposed solution routinely employs a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control to estimate the available PV power and a Constant Power Generation (CPG) control to achieve the power reserve. In this method, the solar irradiance and temperature measurements that have been used in conventional power reserve control schemes to estimate the available PV power are not required, and thereby being a sensorless approach with reduced cost. Experimental tests have been performed on a 3-kW two-stage single-phase grid-connected PV system, where the power reserve control is achieved upon demands.
Irradiance-adaptive PV Module Integrated Converter for High Efficiency and Po...
The strive for efficient and cost-effective photovoltaic systems motivated the power electronic design developed here. The work resulted in a DC-DC converter for module integration and distributed maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with a novel adaptive control scheme. The latter is essential for the combined features of high energy efficiency and high power quality over a wide range of operating conditions. The switching frequency is optimally modulated as a function of solar irradiance for power conversion efficiency maximization. With the rise of irradiance, the frequency is reduced to reach the conversion efficiency target. A search algorithm is developed to determine the optimal switching frequency step. Reducing the switching frequency may, however, compromise MPPT efficiency. Furthermore, it leads to increased ripple content. Therefore, to achieve a uniform high power quality at all conditions, interleaved converter cells are adaptively activated. The overall cost is kept low by selecting components that allow for implementing the functions at low cost. Simulation results show the high value of the module integrated converter for DC standalone and microgrid applications. A 400 W prototype was implemented at 0.14 Euro/W. Testing showed efficiencies above 95% taking into account all losses from power conversion, MPPT, and measurement and control circuitry.
Front end buck rectifier with reduced filter size and single-loop control
This paper presents a transformerless solution for front-end rectification, which is particularly suitable for traction applications, requiring high voltages to be stepped down to appropriate dc voltage. The proposed topology is based on pulse widthmodulation buck rectifier (current source inverter topology) and is capable of rectification and stepping down of single-phase ac supply, in a single stage. A new control scheme is proposed to achieve constant dc output voltage and sinusoidal source current, irrespective of large ripples in the dc inductor current. The proposed scheme is configured in single-loop voltage control mode. The relevant small-signal model is derived from the large-signal model using multi order decomposition. An elaborate procedure of dc filter design is discussed, for circuit operation with minimum energy storage. All analytical results are validated by numerical simulation for sinusoidal and distorted source voltage. Experimental verification is achieved through a 1.2-kW grid-connected laboratory prototype.

Power Quality Improvement of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems Using Trans-...
Voltage-source inverter has been used widely in traditional photovoltaic systems which have limitations. To overcome, Z-source inverter has been introduced. In spite of all the features introduced in Z-source inverter, its configuration has been improved over the years, like trans-Z-source inverter which has added advantages compared to traditional inverters, namely buck–boost feature, lesser passive elements, and higher voltage boost gain. In this paper, photovoltaic arrays are connected to the grid via the trans-Z-source inverter with the aim of improving its power quality. Moreover, the shoot through duty ratio is kept constant in the switching control method to add features like lower voltage stress (higher reliability), lower total harmonic distortion (lower maintenance cost), and higher voltage boost ratio. To evaluate the precision of the proposed system, the photovoltaic system is simulated on a standard grid and under partial shading condition which brings about voltage sag, and hence, a dynamic voltage restorer is used to mitigate voltage sag. Simulation results are presented to verify the validation of the proposed photovoltaic system in terms of voltage and current THD reducing 78.2% and 19.7%, respectively.

The distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) provides fast control of active and reactive powers to enable load compensation, harmonics current elimination, voltage flicker mitigation, voltage and frequency regulation. This paper presents power quality improvement technique in the presence of grid disturbances and wind energy penetration using DSTATCOM with battery energy storage system.

The proposed method has been proved to be effective in improvement of power quality with all disturbances stated above.

Power flow control of hybrid micro grids using modified uipc
Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controlled modified Unified Inter-Phase Power Controller (UIPC). For study, a classic hybrid micro-grid connected to grid comprising of a AC micro-grid and a DC micro-grid is taken into account. These micro-grids are interconnected employing a modified UIPC, rather than using the power converters connected in parallel. As the first input of this paper is the standard structure of UIPC, which used three power converters in every phase. It was then modified such as number of power converters is used less and implemented for the control of the exchange of power between AC-DC microgrids. In every phase there is one power electronic converter in the improved structure. It is called as Line Power Converter (LPC). Also there is Bus Power Converter (BPC) to regulate the voltage of the DC bus. The Line Power Converters links the AC micro-grid to the main grid. The DC buses are also linked with them. It can be operated in Inductance Mode (IM) as well as Capacitance Mode (CM). The control structure of LPCs has an Adaptive Fuzzy Logic Controller in it. For hybrid micro-grids, the capability of the suggested power flow control strategy is confirmed by the MATLAB simulation results.

Designing of multilevel dpfc to improve power quality
According to growth of electricity demand and the increased number of non-linear loads in power grids, providing a high quality electrical power should be considered. In this paper, Enhancement of power quality by using fuzzy based multilevel power flow controller (DPFC) is proposed. The DPFC is a new FACTS device, which its structure is similar to unified power flow controller (UPFC). In spite of UPFC, in DPFC the common dc-link between the shunt and series converters is eliminated and three-phase series converter is divided to several single-phase series distributed converters through the line. This eventually enables the DPFC to fully control all power system parameters. It, also, increases the reliability of the device and reduces its cost simultaneously. In recent years multi level inverters are used high power and high voltage applications .Multilevel inverter output voltage produce a staircase output waveform, this waveform look like a sinusoidal waveform leads to reduction in Harmonics. Fuzzy Logic is used for optimal designing of controller parameters. Application of Fuzzy Multilevel DPFC for reduction of Total Harmonic Distortion was presented. The simulation results show the improvement of power quality using DPFC with Fuzzy logic controller.
Maximum power extraction from wind energy system based on fuzzy logic control
This paper proposes a variable speed control scheme for grid-connected wind energy conversion system (WECS) using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The control algorithm tracks the maximum power for wind speeds below rated speed of wind turbines and ensures the power will not go over the rated power for wind speeds over the rated value. The control algorithm employs fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to effectively do this target. The wind turbine is connected to the grid via back-to-back PWM-VSC. Two effective computer simulation packages (PSIM and Simulink) are used to carry out the simulation effectively. The control system has two controllers for generator side and grid side converters. The main function of the generator side controller is to track the maximum power through controlling the rotational speed of the wind turbine using FLC. In the grid side converter, active and reactive power control has been achieved by controlling q-axis and d-axis current components, respectively. The d-axis current is set at zero for unity power factor and the q-axis current is controlled to deliver the power flowing from the dc-link to the electric utility grid.

To that end, an f-P/Q droop control is proposed in this letter, and its stability is analyzed as well. This proposed droop control is capable to achieve power balance under both resistive-inductive an resistive-capacitive loads autonomously. Compared with the inverse power factor droop control, an obvious advantage consists in extending the scope of application. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

Power quality enhancement in residential smart grids through power factor cor...
The proliferation of non-linear loads and the increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in Medium-Voltage (MV) and Low-Voltage (LV) distribution grids, make it more difficult to maintain the power quality levels in residential electrical grids, especially in the case of weak grids. Most household appliances contain a conventional Power Factor Corrector (PFC) rectifier, which maximizes the load Power Factor (PF) but does not contribute to the regulation of the voltage Total Harmonic Distortion (THDV ) in residential electrical grids. This manuscript proposes a modification for PFC controllers by adapting the operation mode depending on the measured THDV . As a result, the PFCs operate either in a low current Total Harmonic Distortion (THDI ) mode or in the conventional resistor emulator mode and contribute to the regulation of the THDV and the PF at the distribution feeders. To prove the concept, the modification is applied to a current sensorless Non-Linear Controller (NLC) applied to a single-phase Boost rectifier. Experimental results show its performance in a PFC front-end stage operating in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) connected to the grid with different THDV .

It proposes a multiloop controller for the DVR that can independently control the magnitude and phase of injected voltages without requiring a phase-locked loop. Simulation results using PSCAD/EMTDC show that the controller can limit fault currents to the nominal load level and restore voltages within 10 ms for various fault types, including arcing faults. It also interrupts fault currents in less than two cycles while limiting the rise in DC link voltage to less than 15%. The control strategy enables effective fault current interruption even under low DC link voltage conditions.

A Simple Active and Reactive Power Control for Applications of Single-Phase E...
Aiming at effective power management in microgrids with high penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs), the paper proposes a simple power control for the so-called second-generation, single-phase electric springs (ES-2), that overcomes the shortcomings of the existing ES control methods. By the proposed control, the unpredictable power generated from RESs is divided into two parts, i.e. the one absorbed by the ES-2 that still varies and the other injected into the grid that turns to be controllable, by a simple and accurate signal manipulation that works both at steady-state and during RES transients. It is believed that such a control is suitable for the distributed power generation, especially at domestic homes.
In the paper, the proposed control is supported by a theoretical background. Its effectiveness is at first validated by simulations and then by experiments. To this purpose, a typical RES application is considered, and an experimental setup is arranged, built up around an ES-2 implementing the proposed control. Testing of the setup is carried out in three steps and proves not only the smooth operation of the ES-2 itself, but also its capability in running the application properly.
Single-Stage Power-Factor-Correction Circuit with Flyback Converter to Drive ...
White light emitting diode (LED) with high brightness has attracted a lot of attention from both
industry and academia for its high efficiency, ease to drive, environmental friendliness, and long
lifespan. They become possible applications to replace the incandescent bulbs and fluorescent
lamps in residential, industrial and commercial lighting. The realization of this new lighting
source requires both tight LED voltage regulation and high power factor as well. This paper
proposed a single-stage flyback converter for the LED lighting applications and input power
factor correction. A type-II compensator has been inserted in the voltage loop providing
sufficient bandwidth and stable phase margin. The flyback converter is controlled with voltage
mode pulse width modulation (PWM) and run in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) so that
the inductor current follows the rectified input voltage, resulting in high power factor. A
prototype topology of closed-loop, single stage flyback converter for LED driver circuit designed
for an 18W LED lighting source is constructed and tested to verify the theoretical predictions.
The measured performance of the LED lighting fixture can achieve a high power factor greater
than 0.998 and a low total harmonic distortion less than 5.0%. Experimental results show the
functionality of the overall system and prove it to be an effective solution for the new lighting
applications.
A Sensorless Power Reserve Control Strategy for Two-Stage Grid-Connected PV S...
Due to the still increasing penetration of grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) systems, advanced active power control functionalities have been introduced in grid regulations. A power reserve control, where namely the active power from the PV panels is reserved during operation, is required for grid support. In this paper, a cost-effective solution to realize the power reserve for two-stage grid-connected PV systems is proposed. The proposed solution routinely employs a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control to estimate the available PV power and a Constant Power Generation (CPG) control to achieve the power reserve. In this method, the solar irradiance and temperature measurements that have been used in conventional power reserve control schemes to estimate the available PV power are not required, and thereby being a sensorless approach with reduced cost. Experimental tests have been performed on a 3-kW two-stage single-phase grid-connected PV system, where the power reserve control is achieved upon demands.
Irradiance-adaptive PV Module Integrated Converter for High Efficiency and Po...
The strive for efficient and cost-effective photovoltaic systems motivated the power electronic design developed here. The work resulted in a DC-DC converter for module integration and distributed maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with a novel adaptive control scheme. The latter is essential for the combined features of high energy efficiency and high power quality over a wide range of operating conditions. The switching frequency is optimally modulated as a function of solar irradiance for power conversion efficiency maximization. With the rise of irradiance, the frequency is reduced to reach the conversion efficiency target. A search algorithm is developed to determine the optimal switching frequency step. Reducing the switching frequency may, however, compromise MPPT efficiency. Furthermore, it leads to increased ripple content. Therefore, to achieve a uniform high power quality at all conditions, interleaved converter cells are adaptively activated. The overall cost is kept low by selecting components that allow for implementing the functions at low cost. Simulation results show the high value of the module integrated converter for DC standalone and microgrid applications. A 400 W prototype was implemented at 0.14 Euro/W. Testing showed efficiencies above 95% taking into account all losses from power conversion, MPPT, and measurement and control circuitry.
Front end buck rectifier with reduced filter size and single-loop control
This paper presents a transformerless solution for front-end rectification, which is particularly suitable for traction applications, requiring high voltages to be stepped down to appropriate dc voltage. The proposed topology is based on pulse widthmodulation buck rectifier (current source inverter topology) and is capable of rectification and stepping down of single-phase ac supply, in a single stage. A new control scheme is proposed to achieve constant dc output voltage and sinusoidal source current, irrespective of large ripples in the dc inductor current. The proposed scheme is configured in single-loop voltage control mode. The relevant small-signal model is derived from the large-signal model using multi order decomposition. An elaborate procedure of dc filter design is discussed, for circuit operation with minimum energy storage. All analytical results are validated by numerical simulation for sinusoidal and distorted source voltage. Experimental verification is achieved through a 1.2-kW grid-connected laboratory prototype.

Power Quality Assessment of Voltage Positive Feedback Based Islanding Detecti...
Islanding refers to a condition where distributed generators (DGs) inject power solely to the local load after electrical separation from power grid. Several islanding detection methods (IDMs) categorized into remote, active, and passive groups have been reported to detect this undesirable state. In active techniques, a disturbance is injected into the DG’s controller to drift a local yardstick out of the permissible range. Although this disturbance leads to more effective detections even in well-balanced island, it raises the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output current under the normal operation conditions. This paper analyzes the power quality aspect of the modified sliding mode controller as a new active IDM for grid-connected photovoltaic system (GCPVS) with a string inverter. Its performance is compared with the voltage positive feedback (VPF) method, a well-known active IDM. This evaluation is carried out for a 1 kWp GCPVS in MATLAB/Simulink platform by measuring the output current harmonics and THD as well as the efficiency under various penetration and disturbance levels. The output results demonstrate that since the proposed disturbance changes the amplitude of the output current, it does not generate harmonics/subharmonics. Thereby, it has a negligible adverse effect on power quality. It is finally concluded that the performance of the sliding mode-based IDM is reliable from the standpoints of islanding detection and power quality.

Voltage-source inverter has been used widely in traditional photovoltaic systems which have limitations. To overcome, Z-source inverter has been introduced. In spite of all the features introduced in Z-source inverter, its configuration has been improved over the years, like trans-Z-source inverter which has added advantages compared to traditional inverters, namely buck–boost feature, lesser passive elements, and higher voltage boost gain. In this paper, photovoltaic arrays are connected to the grid via the trans-Z-source inverter with the aim of improving its power quality. Moreover, the shoot through duty ratio is kept constant in the switching control method to add features like lower voltage stress (higher reliability), lower total harmonic distortion (lower maintenance cost), and higher voltage boost ratio. To evaluate the precision of the proposed system, the photovoltaic system is simulated on a standard grid and under partial shading condition which brings about voltage sag, and hence, a dynamic voltage restorer is used to mitigate voltage sag. Simulation results are presented to verify the validation of the proposed photovoltaic system in terms of voltage and current THD reducing 78.2% and 19.7%, respectively.

Designing of multilevel dpfc to improve power quality
According to growth of electricity demand and the increased number of non-linear loads in power grids, providing a high quality electrical power should be considered. In this paper, Enhancement of power quality by using fuzzy based multilevel power flow controller (DPFC) is proposed. The DPFC is a new FACTS device, which its structure is similar to unified power flow controller (UPFC).

This eventually enables the DPFC to fully control all power system parameters. It, also, increases the reliability of the device and reduces its cost simultaneously. In recent years multi level inverters are used high power and high voltage applications .Multilevel inverter output voltage produce a staircase output waveform, this waveform look like a sinusoidal waveform leads to reduction in Harmonics. Fuzzy Logic is used for optimal designing of controller parameters. Application of Fuzzy Multilevel DPFC for reduction of Total Harmonic Distortion was presented. The simulation results show the improvement of power quality using DPFC with Fuzzy logic controller.
Maximum power extraction from wind energy system based on fuzzy logic control
This paper proposes a variable speed control scheme for grid-connected wind energy conversion system (WECS) using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The control algorithm tracks the maximum power for wind speeds below rated speed of wind turbines and ensures the power will not go over the rated power for wind speeds over the rated value. The control algorithm employs fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to effectively do this target. The wind turbine is connected to the grid via back-to-back PWM-VSC. Two effective computer simulation packages (PSIM and Simulink) are used to carry out the simulation effectively. The control system has two controllers for generator side and grid side converters. The main function of the generator side controller is to track the maximum power through controlling the rotational speed of the wind turbine using FLC. In the grid side converter, active and reactive power control has been achieved by controlling q-axis and d-axis current components, respectively. The d-axis current is set at zero for unity power factor and the q-axis current is controlled to deliver the power flowing from the dc-link to the electric utility grid.

Power quality enhancement in residential smart grids through power factor cor...
The proliferation of non-linear loads and the increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in Medium-Voltage (MV) and Low-Voltage (LV) distribution grids, make it more difficult to maintain the power quality levels in residential electrical grids, especially in the case of weak grids. Most household appliances contain a conventional Power Factor Corrector (PFC) rectifier, which maximizes the load Power Factor (PF) but does not contribute to the regulation of the voltage Total Harmonic Distortion (THDV ) in residential electrical grids. This manuscript proposes a modification for PFC controllers by adapting the operation mode depending on the measured THDV . As a result, the PFCs operate either in a low current Total Harmonic Distortion (THDI ) mode or in the conventional resistor emulator mode and contribute to the regulation of the THDV and the PF at the distribution feeders. To prove the concept, the modification is applied to a current sensorless Non-Linear Controller (NLC) applied to a single-phase Boost rectifier. Experimental results show its performance in a PFC front-end stage operating in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) connected to the grid with different THDV .

In this paper, a new energy control scheme is proposed for actively controlled hybrid dc microgrid to reduce the adverse impact of pulsed power loads. The proposed energy control is an adaptive current-voltage control (ACVC) scheme based on the moving average measurement technique and an adaptive proportional compensator. Unlike conventional energy control methods, the proposed ACVC approach has the advantage of controlling both voltage and current of the system while keeping the output current of the power converter at a relatively constant value. For this study, a laboratory scale hybrid dc microgrid is developed to evaluate the performance of the ACVC strategy and to compare its performance with the other conventional energy control methods. Using experimental test results, it is shown that the proposed strategy highly improves the dynamic performance of the hybrid dc microgrid. Although the ACVC technique causes slightly more bus voltage variation, it effectively eliminates the high current and power pulsation of the power converters. The experimental test results for different pulse duty ratios demonstrated a significant improvement achieved by the developed ACVC scheme in enhancing the system efficiency, reducing the ac grid voltage drop and the frequency fluctuations.

This paper deals with a three-phase two-stage grid tied SPV (solar photo-voltaic) system. The first stage is a boost converter, which serves the purpose of MPPT (maximum power point tracking) and feeding the extracted solar energy to the DC link of the PV inverter, whereas the second stage is a two-level VSC (voltage source converter) serving as PV inverter which feeds power from a boost converter into the grid. The proposed system uses an adaptive DC link voltage which is made adaptive by adjusting reference DC link voltage according to CPI (common point of interconnection) voltage. The adaptive DC link voltage control helps in the reduction of switching power losses. A feed forward term for solar contribution is used to improve the dynamic response. The system is tested considering realistic grid voltage variations for under voltage and over voltage. The performance improvement is verified experimentally. The proposed system is advantageous not only in cases of frequent and sustained under voltage (as in the cases of far radial ends of Indian grid) but also in case of normal voltages at CPI. The THD (total harmonics distortion) of grid current has been found well under the limit of an IEEE-519 standard.

Model predictive control of pv sources in a smart dc distribution system maxi...
In a dc distribution system, where multiple power sources supply a common bus, current sharing is an important issue. When renewable energy resources are considered, such as photovoltaic (PV), dc/dc converters are needed to decouple the source voltage, which can vary due to operating conditions and maximum power point tracking (MPPT), from the dc bus voltage. Since different sources may have different power delivery capacities that may vary with time, coordination of the interface to the bus is of paramount importance to ensure reliable system operation. Further, since these sources are most likely distributed throughout\ the system, distributed controls are needed to ensure a robust and fault tolerant control system. This paper presents a model predictive control-based MPPT and model predictive control-based droop current regulator to interface PV in smart dc distribution systems. Back-to-back dc/dc converters control both the input current from the PV module and the droop characteristic of the output current injected into the distribution bus. The predictive controller speeds up both of the control loops, since it predicts and corrects error before the switching signal is applied to the respective converter.

Harmonic Mitigation by SRF Theory Based Active Power Filter using Adaptive Hy...
Power quality is an all-encompassing concept for a multitude of individual types of power system disturbances. The presence of harmonics in power supply network poses a severe power quality problem that results in greater power losses in the distribution system, interference problems in communication systems and, sometimes, in operation failures of electronic equipment. Shunt active power filters are employed to suppress the current harmonics and reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD). The voltage source inverter (VSI) is the core of an active power filter. The hysteresis current control is a method of controlling the VSI. Hysteresis control can be either of fixed band type or adaptive band type. In this paper, Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory is implemented for the generation of reference current signals for the controller. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the proposed model in harmonics currents mitigation by simulating a model of a three-phase three wire shunt active power filter based on adaptive hysteresis current control and SRF theory. Simulation results indicate that the proposed active power filter can restrain harmonics of electrical source current effectively

To improve the performance of photovoltaic system a modified cuk converter with Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) that uses a fuzzy logic control algorithm is presented in this research work. In the proposed cuk converter, the conduction losses and switching losses are reduced by means of replacing the passive elements with switched capacitors. These switched capacitors are used to provide smooth transition of voltage and current. So, the conversion efficiency of the converter is improved and the efficiency of the PV system is increased. The PV systems use a MPPT to continuously extract the highest possible power and deliver it to the load. MPPT consists of a dc-dc converter used to find and maintain operation at the maximum power point using a tracking algorithm. The simulated results indicate that a considerable amount of additional power can be extracted from photovoltaic module using a proposed converter with fuzzy logic controller based MPPT
Single phase active power filtering method using diode-rectifier-fed motor drive
This paper presents a single-phase high power factor motor drive system with active power filter function. Since most of electrical equipment connected to the grid must comply with regulations regarding grid current harmonics, motor drive systems are generally equipped with Power Factor Corrector (PFC) which is comprised of power switches and reactive components, e.g., inductor and capacitor. The reactive components are bulky and increase the system cost especially in low-cost applications such as electrical home appliances. In this paper, a new motor drive algorithm which is capable of both driving a permanent magnet motor and filtering the harmonic currents produced by other non-linear loads belong to the system is proposed. Since the input current of the drive system is directly controlled by manipulating not the motor current reference but the output voltage reference of the inverter, it is possible to achieve exact and immediate control of the grid current. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is validated by experiments with a permanent magnet motor drive system.
Development of wind and solar based ac microgrid with power quality improveme...
This work proposes a microgrid (μ-grid) integrating wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) resources, along with the battery energy storage (BES) to the three phase grid feeding the nonlinear load. The μ-grid disconcerted by probabilistic nonlinear time dependent parameters and their effects are compensated by cohesive controllers used for utility grid side voltage source converter (GVSC) and machine side VSC (MVSC). The switching controls and the reconfigurability of the μ-grid are addressed on imperative aspects of improving power quality (PQ), power reliability, nonlinear load compensation and economic utilization of resources. The nonlinear load compensation and PQ enhancement are achieved by executing modified version of the adaptive filtering technique including “momentum” based least mean square (MLMS) control technique, utilized for providing the switching control signals to the GVSC. It utilizes two preceding gradient weights for obtaining updated weight thereby improving the convergence rate and overcoming the limitation of conventional control of the same family. The MVSC acquires its switching signals from conventional vector control scheme and the encoderless estimation of speed and rotor position of the synchronous generator (SG) driven by wind turbine through back electromotive force control technique. The external environmental disturbances are overcome by utilizing perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point (MPP) for wind optimal power extraction and adaptive P&O with variable perturbation step size for solar MPP estimation.

Reduced Sensor Based PV Array Fed Direct Torque Control Induction Motor Drive...
This paper aims at the design, control and implementation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) array fed speed sensorless direct torque control (DTC) of an induction motor drive (IMD) for water pumping in standalone as well as battery connected hybrid mode. This stator flux estimated by proposed flux observer, is used for speed estimation. A DC link current sensor is used to reconstruct the motor phase currents by modified active voltage vector. One voltage sensor for DC link voltage sensing and only one current sensor for DC link current sensing, are used in this system for standalone operation of the system. All other required quantities are estimated through these two sensed signals. The IMD is energized by a photovoltaic (PV) array, which is operated at maximum power point (MPP). A perturb and observe control algorithm with additional flow rate controller, is proposed for MPP, which tracks MPP throughout the operating range and provides the facility to control flow rate. The suitability of the system is judged through simulated results in MATLAB/Simulink as well as test results obtained on a prototype developed in the laboratory.
A New Switched-Capacitor Five-Level Inverter Suitable for Transformerless Gri...
Transformerless grid-connected inverters have been extensively popular in renewable energy-based applications owing to some interesting features like higher efficiency, reasonable cost and acceptable power density. The major concern of such converters is the leakage current problem and also the step-down feature of the output voltage which causes a costly operation for a single stage energy conversion system. A new five-level transformerless inverter topology is presented in this study, which is able to boost the value of the input voltage and can remove the leakage current problem through a common-grounded architecture. Here, providing the five-level of the output voltage with only six power switches is facilitated through the series-parallel switching of a switched-capacitor module. Regarding this switching conversion, the self- voltage balancing of the integrated capacitors over a full cycle of the grid’s frequency can be acquired. Additionally, to inject a tightly controlled current to the local grid, a peak current controller-based technique is employed, which can regulate both the active and reactive power support modes. Theoretical analyses besides some experimental results are also given to corroborate the correct performance of the proposed topology.
Voltage unbalance and harmonics compensation for islanded microgrid inverters
Voltage source inverters (VSIs) are usually used for all kinds of distributed generation interfaces in a microgrid. It is the microgrid’s superiority to power the local loads continuously when the utility fails. When in islanded mode, the voltage and frequency of the microgrid are determined by the VSIs; therefore the power quality can be deteriorated under unbalanced and non-linear loads. A voltage unbalance and harmonics compensation strategy for the VSIs in islanded microgrid is proposed in this study. This method is implemented in a single synchronous reference frame (SRF) and is responsible for both the voltage unbalance and harmonic compensation. Furthermore, the virtual impedance loop is modified to improve the compensation
effect. The impedance model of the VSI is built to explain the compensation ability of the proposed strategy. The whole control system mainly includes power droop controllers, a modified virtual impedance loop and inner SRF-based voltage unbalance and harmonics compensators. The proposed strategy is demonstrated in detail and validated with simulations and experiments.
Thermal Stresses Relief Carrier-Based PWM Strategy for Single Phase Multileve...
Enhancing power cycling capability of power semiconductor devices is highly demanded in order to increase the long term reliability of multilevel inverters. Ageing of power switches and their cooling systems leads to their accelerated damage due to excess power losses and junction temperatures. Therefore, thermal stresses relief (TSR) is the most effective solution for lifetime extension of power semiconductor devices. This paper presents a new thermal stresses relief carrier-based pulse width modulation (TSRPWM) strategy for extending the lifetime of semiconductor switches in single-phase multilevel inverters. The proposed strategy benefits the inherent redundancy among switching states in multilevel inverters to optimally relieve the thermally stressed device. The proposed algorithm maintains the inverter operation without increased stresses on healthy switches and without reduction of the output power ratings. In addition, the proposed algorithm preserves voltage balance of the DC-link capacitors. The proposed strategy is validated on single phase five level T-type inverter system with considering different locations of thermal stresses detection. Experimental prototype of the selected case study is built to verify the results. Moreover, comparisons with the most featured strategies in literature are given in detail.

Generation of Higher Number of Voltage Levels by Stacking Inverters of Lower ...
This paper proposes a new method of generating higher number of levels in the voltage waveform by stacking multilevel converters with lower voltage space vector structures. An important feature of this stacked structure is the use of low voltage devices while attaining higher number of levels. This will find extensive applications in electric vehicles since direct battery drive is possible. The voltages of all the capacitors in the structure can be controlled within a switching cycle using the switching state redundancies (pole voltage redundancies). This helps in reducing the capacitor size. Also, the capacitor voltages can be balanced irrespective of modulation index and load power factor. To verify the concept experimentally, a 9-level inverter is developed by stacking two 5-level inverters and an induction motor is run using V/f control scheme. Both steady state and transient results are presented.
Novel symmetric modular hybrid multilevel inverter with reduced number of sem...
In this paper, by using a modular hybrid structure, a new topology for symmetric multilevel inverters (MLI) with a small number of semiconductors and low voltage stress across switches is proposed. Despite many other topologies, this topology can inherently produce negative levels and zero levels without using the H-bridge. The voltage stress across a particular switch of the proposed MLI is inversely proportional to the number of the switching of that switch in a voltage period. The proposed structure is based on two types of module, that is, the f-module and the e-module. The e-module uses a capacitive voltage divider to double the number of non-zero levels. The voltages of the capacitors are approximately balanced without complex control methods. The basic structure of the proposed topology is formed by connecting the f-module and the e-module in series with each other, and the cascaded topology is developed by cascading multiple f-modules with an e-module. To investigate the proposed topology and proving its practicability, simulation results with MATLAB/Simulink, investigation of the capacitor voltages, loss calculations and experimental results are presented. A comparative study is also performed to show the merit of the new multilevel inverter over other topologies.

In this paper; a variable dc link based novel multilevel inverter (MLI) topology is proposed. This proposed topology comprises two variable dc links and a modified H-bridge unit. This new single-phase topology offers advantages such as reduction in count of switches; gate drivers and dc sources while simultaneously improving the power quality. The proposed topology has been analyzed for both symmetric and asymmetric modes of operation. A comparative study of the proposed topology with some recent MLI topologies has been presented. The comparative study indicates that the proposed topology requires less number of dc sources; switches and driver circuits as compared to other topologies. The proposed topology has been simulated for 31- level asymmetric configuration in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment to verify the proper operation of proposed topology. Harmonic analysis was also performed for 31-level inverter which showed significant reduction in the total harmonic distortion (THD) for phase voltage and current waveforms. The proposed topology is suitable for low voltage applications such as standalone photovoltaic (PV) systems and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).

This document presents a simplified space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) scheme for three-phase cascaded H-bridge inverters. It treats each unit as a three-level inverter and uses three-level SVPWM to modulate each unit individually. Duty cycles from sector 1 are mapped to obtain duty cycles for other sectors. This simplifies the process compared to conventional multilevel SVPWM. Simulation and experimental results validate the presented SVPWM scheme, which provides a higher effective switching frequency while maintaining the same DC-link voltage utilization as conventional SVPWM, with significantly reduced FPGA resource utilization.
A New Family of Step-up Hybrid Switched- Capacitor Integrated Multilevel Inve...
In the low voltage based renewable systems like PV and Fuel cell applications, the step-up of the output voltage to drive the loads is essential. For this, the integration of switched-capacitor (SC) units with the dc-ac converters will have the potential advantages like improved efficiency, optimal switching devices, small size of passive elements (L and C) as compared with traditional two-stage conversion system (dc/dc converter and dc/ac converter). This paper focuses on a new family of step-up multilevel inverter topologies with switched capacitor integration with dual input voltage sources. With the flexibility of 2 dc sources and switching capacitor circuits, four different topologies have been suggested in this paper with features of high voltage gain, reduced component count, reduced voltage stress and self-voltage balancing of the capacitor while achieving a higher number of levels. A detailed analysis of proposed multilevel inverters has been analyzed with the symmetrical and asymmetrical mode of operations and the associated gain, the number of levels, and other performance indices are presented. An in-depth study of all the topologies has been accomplished in this paper with several comparative studies in terms of components count, voltage gain and cost. The effectiveness and practicability of the suggested topology with 13 level output voltage has been explained by the experimental results obtained from a scale down prototype.
A multi cell 21-level hybrid multilevel inverter synthesizes a reduced number...
A multi-cell hybrid 21-Level multilevel inverter is proposed in this paper. The proposed topology includes two-unit; an H-bridge is cascaded with a modified K-type unit to generate an output voltage waveform with 21 levels based only on two unequal DC suppliers. The proposed topology's advantage lies in the fine and clear output voltage waveforms with high output efficiency. Meanwhile, the high number of output voltage waveform levels generates a low level of distortion and reduces the level of an electromagnetic interface (EMI). Moreover, it reduces the voltage stress on the switching devices and gives it a long lifetime. Also, the reduction in the number of components has a noticeable role in saving size and cost. Regarding the capacitors charging, the proposed topology presents an online method for charging and balancing the capacitor's voltage without any auxiliary circuits. The proposed topology can upgrade to a high number of output steps through the cascading connection. Undoubtedly this cascading will increase the power level to medium and high levels and reduce the harmonics content to a neglectable rate. The proposed system has been tested through the simulation results, and an experimental prototype based on the controller dSPACE (DS-1103) hardware unit used to support the simulation results.

This paper presents a new multilevel inverter topology with reduced active switches and total standing voltage. The proposed topology can generate a high number of voltage levels in the symmetric configuration. This topology intuitively generates positive and negative cycles without an additional H-bridge unit, which considerably reduces the total standing voltage of the inverter. A cascaded structure is developed from the proposed topology to create higher voltage levels. To show the novelty of the proposed topology, a thorough comparison between the available and the proposed topologies in terms of the number of switches, standing voltages, and dc-sources is presented. Furthermore, the power loss analysis is carried out for various load values. The feasibility of the proposed nine-level inverter is verified with simulation and experimental results.

Reliability evaluation of MPPT based interleaved boost converter for PV system
The demand for power supply and depletion of the conventional energy sources are increasing drastically. So to overcome this problem, the best alternative power generation for conventional fossil fuel is Photovoltaic solar cell based system because of its advantage of pollution free and its availability in abundance with free of cost. In the MPPT based PV system the converters are the most sensitive part. Therefore to provide uninterrupted power supply without compromising the quality of power, reliability evaluation of interleaved boost converter becomes necessary. MATLAB/Simulink is used for the simulation studies and to determine the power losses of various components of the converter which is used in calculating the failure rates and reliability of the interleaved boost converter. Reliability studies of IBC have not been studied much. However there exists few literature in which reliability expression has been developed using Markov technique which is a more complex method as compare to Reliability Block Diagram (RBD). Therefore this paper proposes reliability modeling and reliability evaluation of Interleaved boost converter in MPPT based photo-voltaic system by using simple RBD method.
Power optimisation scheme of induction motor using FLC for electric vehicle
In electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid EVs, energy efficiency is essential where the energy storage is limited. Adding to its high stability and low cost, the induction motor efficiency improves with loss minimisation. Also, it can consume more power than the actual need to perform its working when it is operating in less than full load condition. This study proposes a control strategy based on the fuzzy logic control (FLC) for EV applications. FLC controller can improve the starting current amplitude and saves more power. Through the MATLAB/SIMULINK software package, the performance of this control was verified through simulation. As compared with the conventional proportional integral derivative controller, the simulation schemes show good, high-performance results in time-domain response and rapid rejection of system-affected disturbance. Therefore, the core losses of the induction motor are greatly reduced, and in this way improves the efficiency of the driving system. Finally, the suggested control system is validated by the experimental results obtained in the authors’ laboratory, which are in good agreement with the simulation results.
Power Flow Control of Interconnected AC-DC Microgrids in Grid-Connected Hybri...
This paper introduces a new approach for power flow control of interconnected AC-DC microgrids in grid-connected hybrid microgrids based on implementing a modified unified interphase power controller (UIPC). A typical grid-connected hybrid microgrid including one AC microgrid and one DC microgrid is considered as studied system. Instead of using the parallel-connected power converters, these microgrids are interconnected using a modified UIPC. As the first contribution of this paper, the conventional structure of UIPC, which uses three power converters in each phase, is modified so that a reduced number of power converters is implemented for power exchange control between AC-DC microgrids. The modified structure includes one power converter in each phase, named as line power converter (LPC), and a power converter which regulates the DC bus voltage, named as bus power converter (BPC) here. The AC microgrid is connected to the main grid through the LPCs which their DC buses are linked and can operate in capacitance mode (CM) or inductance mode (IM). A fuzzy logic controller is used in the control structure of the LPCs. The fuzzy inference system is optimized based on H∞ filtering method to reduce the errors in membership functions design. Through the BPC, the DC voltage of LPCs is supplied by the DC microgrid. However, since the DC microgrid voltage is provided here by a PV system, the DC link voltage of the LPCs is fluctuating. Thus, as the second contribution, to stabilize the DC link fluctuations, a new nonlinear disturbance observer based robust multiple-surface sliding mode control (NDO-MS-SMC) strategy is presented for DC side control of the BPC. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed power flow control strategy of the improved UIPC for hybrid microgrids.
Multifunctional grid tied pv system using modified klms control
This paper deals with the modified kernel least mean square (KLMS) control strategy in double-stage, solar photovoltaic (PV) grid tied system to enhance the power quality at common coupling point (CCP). This proposed control algorithm has less oscillations, fast convergence, fast dynamic response and good steady state performance. A control strategy is used to extract the fundamental active current component of load and generates reference grid current for a DC-AC converter. The proposed modified KLMS control mitigates multiple power quality concerns such as harmonics reduction, unity power factor and load balancing. The dynamic performance of proposed system is confirmed into the MATLAB\Simulink environment. Test results on hardware implementation are presented at varying solar irradiation levels and load unbalancing. Test results are found satisfactory and total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid currents are observed well within the IEEE-519 standard.
Modelling and voltage control of the solar wind hybrid micro-grid with optimi...
Electricity generation from the wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are highly dependent upon weather conditions. Their intermittent nature leads to fluctuations in their output. Therefore, the need for rapid compensation for energy transmission and distribution systems is increasingly important. Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) can be adopted for reactive power compensation and for decreasing the voltage fluctuation caused by the system and renewable energy sources. This study presents modelling of a Solar PV-Wind Hybrid Micro-grid and the increase of the stable operating limit of the system in case of the incorporation of STATCOM is examined. The major contribution of this paper is the optimization of gain parameters of four PI controllers in STATCOM control circuit based on genetic algorithms (GA) and Bacteria Foraging Algorithm (BFA) and therefore obtaining better responses and voltage stability in terms of nonlinear nature of solar-wind hybrid micro-grid. The Simulink models of the system architecture include a wind turbine model, a solar PV power system model and a STATCOM. It is certified that the voltage fluctuation at the end of the bus bar is reduced by 8% using conventional PI controller, by 10% for GA-based PI controller, and by 15% for BFA based PI controller under variable load. The results obtained by GA and BFA-based optimization of PI controllers are compared with that of the conventional controller and better results attained.

In this paper, a solar PV (Photovoltaic) array, a battery energy storage (BES), a diesel generator (DG) set and grid based EV charging station (CS) is utilized to provide the incessant charging in islanded, grid connected and DG set connected modes. The charging station is primarily designed to use the solar photovoltaic PV array and a BES to charge the electric vehicle (EV) battery. However, in case of exhausted storage battery and unavailable solar PV array generation, the charging station intelligently takes power from the grid or DG (Diesel Generator) set. However, the power from DG set is drawn in a manner that, it always operates at 80-85% loading to achieve maximum fuel efficiency under all loading conditions. Moreover, in coordination with the storage battery, the charging station regulates the generator voltage and frequency without a mechanical speed governor. It also ensures that the power drawn from the grid or the DG set is at unity power factor (UPF) even at nonlinear loading. Moreover, the PCC (Point of Common Coupling) voltage is synchronized to the grid/ generator voltage to obtain the ceaseless charging. The charging station also performs the vehicle to grid active/reactive power transfer, vehicle to home and vehicle to vehicle power transfer for increasing the operational efficiency of the charging station. The operation of the charging station is experimentally validated using the prototype developed in the laboratory.
High step up quasi-z source dc-dc converter
In this paper, a high step-up Quasi-Z Source (QZS) DC-DC converter is proposed. This converter uses a hybrid switched-capacitors switched-inductor method in order to achieve high voltage gains. The proposed converter have resolved the voltage gain limitation of the basic QZS DC-DC converter while keeping its main advantages such as continuous input current and low voltage stress on capacitors. Compared to the basic converter, the duty cycle is not limited, and the voltage stress on the diodes and switch isn’t increased. In addition to these features, the proposed converter has a flexible structure, and extra stages could be added to it in order to achieve even higher voltage gains without increasing the voltage stress on devices or limiting the duty cycle. The operation principle of the converter and related relationships and waveforms are presented in the paper. Also, a comprehensive comparison between the proposed and other QZS based DC-DC converters is provided which confirms the superiority of the proposed converter. Simulations are done in PSCAD/EMTDC in order to investigate the MPPT capability of the converter. In addition, the valid performance and practicality of the converter are studied through the results obtained from the laboratory built prototype.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.

The efficiency of the control technique, that conducts the switching of the inverters, determines the DVR efficiency.Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is the general technique to do that. The power quality restoration capabilities of this controller are limited, and it produces significant amount of harmonics – all of which stems from this linear technique’s application for controlling non-linear DVR. As a solution, this paper proposes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based controller for enhancing restoration and harmonics suppression capabilities of DVR. A detailed comparison of Neural Network controller with PID driven controller and Fuzzy logic driven controller is also illustrated, where the proposed controller demonstrated superior performance with a mere 13.5% Total Harmonic Distortion.
