Temporary voltage swells and sags appear with high frequency in electric power systems, and they significantly affect sensitive loads such as industrial manufacturing or communication devices. This paper presents a strategy to design proportional-resonant controllers for three full-bridge voltage-source converters with a common DC-link in dynamic voltage restorer systems. The proposed controllers allow the system to quickly overcome temporary unbalanced voltage sags. Simulation results carried out in MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results implemented in a Typhoon HIL402 device demonstrate the ability of the proposed design method. The results show that the system with the proposed controllers can ride-through single-phase or double-phase voltage sags up to 55% and three-phase voltage sags up to 70% in a duration less than one grid-voltage cycle.

The harmonic components of the load current are extracted by an enhanced phase-locked loop (EPLL). In the parallel group, each filter operates as a conductance and the harmonic workload is shared among them. A droop relationship between the conductance and non-fundamental apparent power controls the operation of each unit. The non-fundamental apparent power has been calculated based on IEEE Std 1459. Principles of operation are explained in this paper and simulation results which are presented approve the effectiveness of this method. The results indicate a significant reduction in Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in a rectifier application.

In order to achieve a good dynamical response of a full-bridge AC-DC voltage source converters (VSC). The bandwidth of PI controller must be relatively wide. This leads to the voltage ripple produced in the control signal, as known that its ripple frequency has twice of the line frequency and cause the 3rd harmonic of an input current. A Ripple Voltage Estimator (RVE) algorithm and Feed-Forward Compensation (FFC) algorithm are proposed and added to the conventional control. The RVE algorithm estimated the ripple signal to subtract it occurring in the voltage loop. As a result, the 3rd harmonic of the input current can be reduced, and hence the Total Harmonic Distortion of input current (THDi) are improved. In addition, the FFC algorithm will offer a better dynamical response of output voltage. The performance evaluation was conducted through the simulation and experiment at 110Vrms/50Hz of the input voltage, with a 600 W load and 250 Vdc output voltage. The overall system performances are obtained as follows: the power factor at the full load is higher 0.98, the harmonic distortion at AC input power source of the converter is under control in IEC61000-3-2 class A limit, and the overall efficiency is greater than 85%.

This paper presents an analysis of virtual-flux direct power control (VFDPC) technique for the three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) ac-dc converter. The proposed VFDPC is developed by assuming the grid voltage and converter line filters quantities are related to a virtual three-phase ac motor. The controller works with less number of sensors by eliminating the voltage sensors used for measuring the three-phase grid voltage. The grid virtual flux which is proportional to the grid voltage will be estimated from the information of converter switching states, line current, and dc-link output voltage. Several analyses are performed in order to study the steady state and dynamic performance of the converter, particularly during the load and DC voltage output reference variations. The proportional integral (PI) controller at the outer voltage control loop of VFDPC is tuned properly and the entire PWM ac-dc converter system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink to ensure the dc output voltage follow the desired output voltage under steady state and dynamic conditions. Ac-dc converter utilizing the proposed VFDPC is able to generate three-phase input current waveforms that are almost sinusoidal with low harmonics contents which is less than 5% and near unity power factor (pf) operation.

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of DSTATCOM control strategies put forward recently. It is
aimed at providing a broad perspective on the status of DSTATCOM control methods to researchers and
application engineers dealing with harmonic suppression issues. Many control techniques have been
designed, developed, and realized for active filters in recent years. The proposed DSTATCOM consists of a

The aim of this research is the speed tracking of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using an intelligent Neural-Network based adapative backstepping control. First, the model of PMSM in the Park synchronous frame is derived. Then, the PMSM speed regulation is investigated using the classical method utilizing the field oriented control theory. Thereafter, a robust nonlinear controller employing an adaptive backstepping strategy is investigated in order to achieve a good performance tracking objective under motor parameters changing and external load torque application. In the final step, a neural network estimator is integrated with the adaptive controller to estimate the motor parameters values and the load disturbance value for enhancing the effectiveness of the adaptive backstepping controller. The robsutness of the presented control algorithm is demonstrated using simulation tests. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that the presented NN-adaptive control algorithm can provide good trackingperformances for the speed trackingin the presence of motor parameter variation and load application.
This paper presents a fast and accurate fault detection, classification and direction discrimination algorithm of transmission lines using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNNs) that have ingrained adaptive model to avoid the feature extraction difficulties and fault classification into one learning algorithm. A proposed algorithm is directly usable with raw data and this deletes the need of a discrete feature extraction method resulting in more effective protective system. The proposed approach based on the three-phase voltages and currents signals of one end at the relay location in the transmission line system are taken as input to the proposed 1D-CNN algorithm. A 132kV power transmission line is simulated by Matlab simulink to prepare the training and testing data for the proposed 1D- CNN algorithm. The testing accuracy of the proposed algorithm is compared with other two conventional methods which are neural network and fuzzy neural network. The results of test explain that the new proposed detection system is efficient and fast for classifying and direction discrimination of fault in transmission line with high accuracy as compared with other conventional methods under various conditions of faults.
Among the most widespread renewable energy sources is solar energy; Solar panels offer a green, clean, and environmentally friendly source of energy. In the presence of several advantages of the use of photovoltaic systems, the random operation of the photovoltaic generator presents a great challenge, in the presence of a critical load. Among the most used solutions to overcome this problem is the combination of solar panels with generators or with the public grid or both. In this paper, an energy management strategy is proposed with a safety aspect by using artificial neural networks (ANNs), in order to ensure a continuous supply of electricity to consumers with a maximum solicitation of renewable energy.
In this paper, the artificial neural network (ANN) has been utilized for rotating machinery faults detection and classification. First, experiments were performed to measure the lateral vibration signals of laboratory test rigs for rotor-disk-blade when the blades are defective. A rotor-disk-blade system with 6 regular blades and 5 blades with various defects was constructed. Second, the ANN was applied to classify the different x- and y-axis lateral vibrations due to different blade faults. The results based on training and testing with different data samples of the fault types indicate that the ANN is robust and can effectively identify and distinguish different blade faults caused by lateral vibrations in a rotor. As compared to the literature, the present paper presents a novel work of identifying and classifying various rotating blade faults commonly encountered in rotating machines using ANN. Experimental data of lateral vibrations of the rotor-disk-blade system in both x- and y-directions are used for the training and testing of the network.

Kosovo has limited renewable energy resources and its power generation sector is based on fossil fuels. Such a situation emphasizes the importance of active research and efficient use of renewable energy potential. According to the analysis of meteorological data for Kosovo, it can be concluded that among the most attractive potential wind power sites are the locations known as Kitka (42° 29' 41" N and 21° 36' 45" E) and Koznica (42° 39′ 32″ N, 21° 22′30″E). The two terrains in which the analysis was carried out are mountain areas, with altitudes of 1142 m (Kitka) and 1230 m (Koznica). the same measuring height, about 84 m above the ground, is obtained for these average wind speeds: Kitka 6,667 m/s and Koznica 6,16 m/s. Since the difference in wind speed is quite large versus a difference in altitude that is not being very large, analyses are made regarding the terrain characteristics including the terrain relief features. In this paper it will be studied how much the roughness of the terrain influences the output energy. Also, that the assumption to be taken the same as to how much they will affect the annual energy produced.
Large-scale grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) station are increasing rapidly. However, this large penetration of PV system creates frequency fluctuation in the grid due to the intermittency of solar irradiance. Therefore, in this paper, a robust droop control mechanism of the battery energy storage system (BESS) is developed in order to damp the frequency fluctuation of the multi-machine grid system due to variable active power injected from the PV panel. The proposed droop control strategy incorporates frequency error signal and dead-band for effective minimization of frequency fluctuation. The BESS system is used to consume/inject an effective amount of active power based upon the frequency oscillation of the grid system. The simulation analysis is carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC software to prove the effectiveness of the proposed droop control-based BESS system. The simulation result implies that the proposed scheme can efficiently curtail the frequency oscillation.

This paper focuses on the modeling and control of a wind energy conversion chain using a permanent magnet synchronous machine. This system behaves a turbine, a generator, DC/DC and DC/AC power converters. These are connected on both sides to the DC bus, where the inverter is followed by a filter which is connected to the grid. In this paper, we have been used two types of controllers. For the stator side converter, we consider the Takagi-Sugeno approach where the parameters of controller have been computed by the theory of linear matrix inequalities. The stability synthesis has been checked using the Lyapunov theory. According to the grid side converter, the proportional integral controller is exploited to keep a constant voltage on the DC bus and control both types of powers. The simulation results demonstrate the robustness of the approach used.
The development of modeling wind speed plays a very important in helping to obtain the actual wind speed data for the benefit of the power plant planning in the future.

In this study, the Rayleigh scale factor (Cr) and modified Rayleigh scale factor (Cm) were calculated. The observed wind speed is compared with the predicted wind characteristics. The data fit test used correlation coefficient (R2), root means square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results of the proposed modified Rayleigh model provide very good results for users.

The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of renewable energy resources in Bangladesh, as well as to examine various forms of renewable energies in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of how to address Bangladesh's power crisis issues in a sustainable manner. Electricity is currently the most useful kind of energy in Bangladesh. It has a substantial influence on a country's socioeconomic standing and living standards. Maintaining a stable source of energy at a cost that is affordable to everyone has been a constant battle for decades. Bangladesh is blessed with a wealth of natural resources. Bangladesh has a huge opportunity to accelerate its economic development while increasing energy access, livelihoods, and health for millions of people in a sustainable way due to the renewable energy system.
When the irradiance distribution over the photovoltaic panels is uniform, the pursuit of the maximum power point is not reached, which has allowed several researchers to use traditional MPPT techniques to solve this problem Among these techniques a PSO algorithm is used to have the maximum global power point (GMPPT) under partial shading. On the other hand, this one is not reliable vis-à-vis the pursuit of the MPPT. Therefore, in this paper we have treated another technique based on a new modified PSO algorithm so that the power can reach its maximum point. The PSO algorithm is based on the heuristic method which guarantees not only the obtaining of MPPT but also the simplicity of control and less expensive of the system. The results are obtained using MATLAB show that the proposed modified PSO algorithm performs better than conventional PSO and is robust to different partial shading models.
A stable operation of wind turbines connected to the grid is an essential requirement to ensure the reliability and stability of the power system. To achieve such operational objective, installing static synchronous compensator static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) as a main compensation device guarantees the voltage stability enhancement of the wind farm connected to distribution network at different operating scenarios. STATCOM either supplies or absorbs reactive power in order to ensure the voltage profile within the standard-margins and to avoid turbine tripping, accordingly. This paper present new study that investigates the most suitable-location to install STATCOM in a distribution system connected wind farm to maintain the voltage-levels within the stability margins. For a large-scale squirrel cage induction generator squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG-based) wind turbine system, the impact of STATCOM installation was tested in different places and voltage-levels in the distribution system. The proposed method effectiveness in enhancing the voltage profile and balancing the reactive power is validated, the results were repeated for different scenarios of expected contingencies. The voltage profile, power flow, and reactive power balance of the distribution system are observed using MATLAB/Simulink software.
The electrical and environmental parameters of polymer solar cells (PSC) provide important information on their performance. In the present article we study the influence of temperature on the voltage-current (I-V) characteristic at different temperatures from 10 °C to 90 °C, and important parameters like bandgap energy Eg, and the energy conversion efficiency η. The one-diode electrical model, normally used for semiconductor cells, has been tested and validated for the polemeral junction. The PSC used in our study are formed by the poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Our technique is based on the combination of two steps; the first use the Least Mean Squares (LMS) method while the second use the Newton-Raphson algorithm. The found results are compared to other recently published works, they show that the developed approach is very accurate. This precision is proved by the minimal values of statistical errors (RMSE) and the good agreement between both the experimental data and the I-V simulated curves. The obtained results show a clear and a monotonic dependence of the cell efficiency on the studied parameters.
The inverter is the principal part of the photovoltaic (PV) systems that assures the direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) conversion (PV array is connected directly to an inverter that converts the DC energy produced by the PV array into AC energy that is directly connected to the electric utility). In this paper, we present a simple method for detecting faults that occurred during the operation of the inverter. These types of faults or faults affect the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the photovoltaic system, especially the inverter, which is the main component responsible for the conversion. Hence, we have shown first the faults obtained in the case of the short circuit. Second, the open circuit failure is studied. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method. Good monitoring and detection of faults in the inverter can increase the system's reliability and decrease the undesirable faults that appeared in the PV system. The system behavior is tested under variable parameters and conditions using MATLAB/Simulink.
The electrical distribution network is undergoing tremendous modifications with the introduction of distributed generation technologies which have led to an increase in fault current levels in the distribution network. Fault current limiters have been developed as a promising technology to limit fault current levels in power systems. Though, quite a number of fault current limiters have been developed; the most common are the superconducting fault current limiters, solid-state fault current limiters, and saturated core fault current limiters. These fault current limiters present potential fault current limiting solutions in power systems. Nevertheless, they encounter various challenges hindering their deployment and commercialization. This research aimed at designing a bridge-type nonsuperconducting fault current limiter with a novel topology for distribution network applications. The proposed bridge-type nonsuperconducting fault current limiter was designed and simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC. Simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed design in fault current limiting, voltage sag compensation during fault conditions, and its ability not to affect the load voltage and current during normal conditions as well as in suppressing the source powers during fault conditions. Simulation results also showed very minimal power loss by the fault current limiter during normal conditions.
This paper provides a new approach to reducing high-order harmonics in 400 Hz inverter using a three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) converter. A voltage control loop using the harmonic compensation combined with NPC clamping diode control technology. The capacitor voltage imbalance also causes harmonics in the output voltage. For 400 Hz inverter, maintain a balanced voltage between the two input (direct current) (DC) capacitors is difficult because the pulse width modulation (PWM) modulation frequency ratio is low compared to the frequency of the output voltage. A method of determining the current flowing into the capacitor to control the voltage on the two balanced capacitors to ensure fast response reversal is also given in this paper. The combination of a high-harmonic resonator controller and a neutral-point voltage controller working together on the 400 Hz NPC inverter structure is given in this paper.
Direct current (DC) electronic load is a useful equipment for testing the electrical system. It can emulate various load at a high rating.

This paper proposed a DC electronic load using the boost converter. The proposed electronic load operates in the continuous current mode and control using the integral controller. The electronic load using the boost converter is compared with the electronic load using the linear regulator. The results show that the boost converter able to operate as an electronic load with an error lower than 0.5% and response time lower than 13 ms.

synchronously rotating frame dq is introduced in [8],[9]. However, this topology does not have current loops
to compensate for the losses in the transformers and output filter, which leads to a slow voltage response.
Another approach is to implement proportional-resonant (PR) or Hinf control for the voltage loop and
proportional (P) control for the current loop in the stationary frame αβ [10]. However, controlling only two
components of αβ frame as presented in this approach is not effective when the voltage sag is unbalanced,
which is the typical case in practice. A P control for both voltage and current loops with independent
controllers between each phase is proposed in [11]. This approach is unable to eliminate the steady-state error
in spite of its fast response. A multi-loop with PI controllers is applied to DVR systems in [12], but steady-
state error also exists.
From this literature review, the control strategy using PR controllers for both current and voltage
loops is the most effective for DVR systems to improve dynamic response and eliminate steady-state error
[13]. To the best knowledge of the authors, little research has been done to elaborate on the process of
determining parameters for PR controllers, which is highly complicated. Several studies apply trial and error
procedures to obtain the parameters of PR controllers [14]. Another approach to design PR controllers is
based on the SISO design tool in MATLAB and system dynamic response [15]. Such methods are time-
consuming and not generalized.
This paper proposes a systematic and generalized design method for PR voltage and current
controllers of three single-phase full-bridge inverters with a common DC-link capacitor in DVR systems. The
major contributions of this paper includes:
a) An equivalent circuit of full-bridge inverters and series connected transformers in a DVR system. Unlike
other existing methods, the model of the series transformers is taken into account in this paper when
designing the controllers for the DVR system.
b) A method to design parameters of PR controllers in the frequency domain for both current and voltage
loops to guarantees system stability with a desired cross-over frequency and phase margin. The
discretization in the z-domain of the designed PR controllers for digital implementation is also included.
c) An approach to verify the proposed controller by hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) real-time experiments
using a Typhoon HIL402 device. HIL simulation has been highly recommended as an effective design
approach with the ease in modifying controller parameters and creating different operating scenarios of
grid voltage [16]-[18].
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the general control topology
and the model of a DVR system including the equivalent circuit of full-bridge inverters and series
transformers. The proposed design in the frequency domain of the PR current and voltage controllers is
presented based on the developed equivalent model. The discretization of the designed PR controller is also
included. Section 3 demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed method by off-line simulation and HIL real-
time experiments using Typhoon HIL402 system.
2. CONTROL SCHEME
A scalar control scheme for three full-bridge inverters with a common DC-link capacitor in a DVR
system is shown in Figure 1. Similar controllers are applied separately for each phase corresponding to each
H-bridge inverter. In this control scheme, voltages and currents of all phases are controlled independently
using nested control loops. At each phase, the outer voltage control loop regulates the voltage at the
secondary side of the transformer while the inner current loop regulates the output current of the H-bridge
inverter. The set points of the current loop are the output of the voltage loop, while the set points of the
voltage loop are calculated based on the root-mean-square (RMS) values of the desired voltage (for example,
220 V) and the grid voltage. In the proposed control approach, since the instantaneous voltage and current are
measured, PR controllers are chosen to eliminate the steady-state error. The resonant frequencies of the PR
controllers are equal to the grid frequency. In addition, phase-locked loop (PLL), which is required for grid
synchronization, is implemented by measuring the voltage at each phase of the grid source. In this paper, a
phase-locked loop (PLL) algorithm based on a second-order generalized integrator phase-locked loop (SOGI
PLL) is used [19].
To properly design PR controllers, the model of series transformers in a DVR system should be
taken into account. The equivalent circuit of each H-bridge and the simplified model of the transformer

A PR controller has an infinite gain at a selected resonant frequency; thus, the zero steady-state error
or the harmonic at this frequency can be eliminated. The transfer function of a PR controller is

From (3), it can be seen that the PR controller has an infinite gain at 1

The delay can be compensated by adding a lead angle

to the inverse Park transform
angle, where k is an integer representing the number of periods to be compensated [21]. In this paper, k is set
to 1. To avoid an algebraic loop during the discrete implementation, it is suggested that the direct integrator is
discretized using the forward method while the feedback integrator is discretized using the backward method
[20],[21]. The PR controller with the delay compensation and discrete PR controller is shown in Figure 3.

3. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
3.1. Simulation results
The proposed control topology is validated using MATLAB/Simulink/Simpower Systems. The DC
voltage is 700VDC while the transformer turns ratio N is 2. The total of leakage inductance Ls in (1) is
0.2975mH, the filter capacitance C is 30µF, and the switching frequency fs is 5kHz. Unipolar PWM
technique is implemented to control the switching of the IGBT switches of the H-bridge inverters [19]. The
phase margin and cross-over frequency of current loop are chosen to be 450
and 500Hz, respectively. The
phase margin and cross-over frequency of voltage loop are chosen to be 450
, and 200Hz, respectively.
This paper investigates the following transient scenarios of the grid voltage: single-phase 55%
voltage sag (0.1-0.2s), double-phase 55% voltage sag (0.25-0.35s), and three-phase 70% voltage sag (0.4-
0.5s). The RMS value of the phase-to-phase grid voltage is 380 VAC, i.e. the phase-to-neutral voltage is
220VAC. The three-phase voltage sags are created by a programmable voltage source in Matlab/Simpowwer
Systems.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the response of the DVR system with the proposed control during the
supply voltage sags. It is clear that the DVR is able to restore correctly to the nominal value within just one
cycle of grid voltage (20 ms). The overshoots of the load voltage are negligible, and the steady-state error of
injected voltage and inverter current is eliminated in the three cases in Figure 5. A dramatic part of the delay
is due to the calculation of the root mean square (RMS) of supply voltage.

The proposed control is also verified in HIL environment using a Typhoon device. This device
consists of an HIL402 card that simulates grid source, load, and three full-bridge with a common DC-link
capacitor using IGBTs. The hardware system is simulated in real time on the HIL platform with a time step
of 1 μs, which is close to the physical model. The carrier frequency of the PWM is 5 kHz. The voltage and
current controllers as well as PLL are implemented in the DSP TMS320F2808 card.
All data of HIL is recorded by the Typhoon HIL Control Center Software and shown in Figure 6.
The load voltage and the injected voltage from the DVR system are measured using the oscilloscope
HAMEG –200MHz at test points in the HIL DSP interface of Typhoon. These voltages are shown in Figure
7. It is clear that the responses of the HIL experimental results are similar to those in the simulation results in
MATLAB. The DVR system is able to regulate the load voltage with an ignorable overshoot within an
acceptable period (less than 20 ms) in the injection mode. When supply voltage stable at the nominal value,
the DVR system is operated in the standby mode, which means no voltage is injected.

4. CONCLUSION
This paper proposes a systematic and generalized design method for PR controllers of three single-
phase full-bridge inverters with a common DC-link capacitor in DVR systems. The proposed control is
designed for each single-phase inverter, taken into account the model of the series transformers. MATLAB
and the HIL experimental results validate the performance of voltage in scenarios: single-phase and double
phase voltage sags up to 55%, and three-phase voltage sag up to 70% within acceptable periods. The results
prove that the DVR system is able to protect the load from voltage sags due to these various types of faults.
Such promising results create a crucial foundation for the application of DVR systems in industry.
