Comparison of Dynamic Stability Response of A SMIB with PI and Fuzzy Controll...ijeei-iaes
Consumer utilities are non –linear in nature. This injects increased flow of current and reduced voltage with distortions which cause adverse effect on the stability of consumer utilities. To overcome this problem we are using a modern Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System controller i.e. distributed power flow controller (DPFC). This controller is similar to UPFC, which can be installed in a transmission line between the two electrical areas. In DPFC, instead of the common Dc link capacitor three single phase converters are used. In this paper we are concentrating on system stability (oscillation damping). For analyzing the stability of a single machine infinite bus system (SMIB) we have used PI controlled Distributed Power Flow Controller (DPFC) and Fuzzy controlled DPFC. All these models are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Simulation results shows Fuzzy controlled DPFC are better than PI controlled DPFC. The significance of the results are better stability and constant power supply.
Direct Torque Control (DTC) is widely applied for ac motor drives as it offers high performance torque control with a simple control strategy. However, conventional DTC poses some disadvantages especially in term of variable switching frequency and large torque ripple due to the utilization of torque hysteresis controller. Other than that, performance of conventional DTC fed by two-level inverter is also restricted by the limited numbers of voltage vectors which lead to inappropriate selection of voltage vectors for different speed operations. This research aims to propose a Constant Switching Frequency (CSF) torque controller for DTC of induction motor (IM) fed by three-level Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC) inverter. The proposed torque controller utilizes PI controller which apply different gain for different speed operation. Besides, the utilization of NPC inverter provides greater number of voltage vectors which allow appropriate selection of voltage vectors for different operating condition. Using the proposed method, the improvement of DTC drives in term of producing a constant switching operation and minimizing torque ripple are achieved and validated via experimental results.

OPTIMAL TORQUE RIPPLE CONTROL OF ASYNCHRONOUS DRIVE USING INTELLIGENT CONTROL...elelijjournal
The dynamic performance of an asynchronous machine when operated with cascaded Voltage Source Inverter using Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique is presented in this paper. A classical model of Induction Motor Drive based on Direct Torque Control (DTC) method is considered which displays
appreciable run-time operation with very simple hysteresis control scheme. Direct control of the torque and flux variables is achieved by choosing suitable inverter voltage space vector from a lookup table. Under varying torque conditions the performance of the drive system is verified using MATLAB/Simulink software tool. The ripple content in the torque parameter is significant when traditional PI controller and Fuzzy approach are configured in the proposed system. Finally, by replacing the PI-Fuzzy controller with Hybrid Controller the torque ripple minimization can be achieved during no-load and loaded conditions.

A Review on Modeling and Analysis of Multi Stage with Multi Phase DC DC Boost...YogeshIJTSRD
A new version of the new Hybrid Boost DC DC ready to draw power from two different DC sources for standard DC bus feeds is presented in this paper. An important feature of the proposed converter is that both sources provide simultaneous power to a lower load than the reduced current rate. This feature is very attractive for DC grid applications. With the analysis of the time zone, steady state performance is established and the transformational power correction parameters are obtained. In this paper, a powerful converter is introduced, with its operating principles based on charging pumps and converters of reinforcement series. In addition, although three switches are used, no separate gate driver is required instead of one bridge gate driver and one gate driver on the lower side. As such, the proposed converter is easy to analyze and easy to operate. In addition, additional test results are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

Correlative Study on the Modeling and Control of Boost Converter using Advanc...IJSRD
DC-DC converters are switched power converters. The converters are most widely used in research and industrial applications. The DC-DC Boost Converters are used to step-up the supply voltage given to the plant model. The main advantage of using the Boost Converters is that it works in the low voltage according to the design specifications. In order to regulate the uncontrolled supply of voltage, a controller has to be designed and modeled to stabilize the output voltage. Since the convectional controllers cannot work under dynamic operating conditions, advanced controllers are to be designed to overcome the problems. In this article, the advanced controllers such as NARMA-L2, Fuzzy Logic (FLC) and Sliding Mode Controllers (SMC) are implemented and their responses are compared using MATLAB.

The active power exchange between the series and shunt converters, through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC has the same control ability as the UPFC, which adjusts line impedance, bus voltages, and the transmission lines.
This paper focus on distribution system by applying different control techniques in order to improve the performance of the system. In the distribution system mainly concentrate on power quality issues like reactive power control, harmonic elimination, power factor correction, etc. Because of power quality problems voltage, current, frequency are continuously changing in power systems. These changes will effects the performance of power systems. Power quality problems can be compensated by placing DSTATCOM which is connected at PCC in parallel. It is shunt connected VSI along with the filters, with the help of DSTATCOM voltage sag, swell and THD can be controlled. This paper presents detailed explanation about performance and configuration of latest control techniques to control the DSTATCOM.

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy.

Abstract: In this paper a Distributed Power flow Controller with different controlling techniques is proposed
for the improvement of voltage profile of a load bus in a transmission system. Distributed Power flow Controller
(DPFC) is proposed to mitigate power quality problems such as, voltage sag and voltages swell at load bus of
four bus power system. To solve these power quality issues different control logics, like PI control and Fuzzy
logic control have been proposed. The performance of proposed methods of DPFC with PI control and Fuzzy
control are compared using MATLAB/ simulink.
Keywords: DPFC, PI Controller, Power Quality, Fuzzy logic controller, Voltage Sag, Voltage Swell.
I. Introduction
Now a day‟s not only the power engineers but the consumers are also concerned about the quality of
electric power. The ultimate reason for interest in power quality studies is its economic value. Industries are
relying more on automated equipment to achieve maximum productivity to remain competitive. Thus, an
interruption has considerable economic impact. The quality of power can have a direct economic impact on
industrial consumers. Besides the obvious financial impacts on both utilities and industrial customers, there are
numerous indirect and intangible costs involved with power quality problems. The major reasons for this
increased concern are newer generation load equipment, with power semiconductor devices and
microcontrollers. Also the usage of adjustable speed motor drives and power factor correction equipment
resulted in increased power system harmonics which impacts the power quality of entire power system. The
awareness of power quality issues is increased even in the end utility customers and are challenging in the
improvement of quality of power they are utilizing. The power quality is actually the quality of the voltage as
power is the rate of energy delivery and which is proportional to the product of voltage and current. The power
supply system can only control the quality of the voltage. Any significant deviation in the voltage magnitude or
frequency is a power quality problem. In this paper the variations in magnitude of voltage is considered as a
power quality problem [14].
The short – duration voltage decrease (between0.1 and 0.9pu in the rms voltage at the power frequency
for durations from 0.5 cycle to 1 min.) is considered as sag as shown in Fig. 1. Voltage dips or sags usually
associated with system faults and also caused by energization of heavy loads or starting of large motors.
Fig. 1: Voltage Sag with decrease of 0.3pu for a duration of 0.08sec
A swell is defined as an increase of rms magnitude of voltage from 1.1 to 1.8 pu at power frequency for
durations 0.5 cycle to 1 min, as shown in Fig. 2. Swells are usually associated with system fault conditions. The
chance of getting voltage dips and interruptions originate in the transmission and distribution system is very
high[12]. A voltage collapse occurs when the system try to serve much more load than the voltage can support
[13]. Due to the use of the different types of sensitive electronic equipments, PQ issues have drawn substantial
attention from both utilities and users [3].

DOI: 10.9790/1676-10240107 www.iosrjournals.org 2 | Page
Fig. 2: Voltage Swell with increase of 0.2pu for a duration of 0.11sec
A distributed power flow controller (DPFC) is proposed in this paper to mitigate voltage sag and swell.
The concept of DPFC is derived from the concept of eliminated dc link between shunt and series controllers of
UPFC. The new technique is incorporating several small independent series converters as shown in Fig.3 [7].
A 4 bus IEEE standard system is considered for the work, to analyze the voltage sag and swell as
shown in Fig. 4. The DPFC consists of one shunt and several series-connected converters. STATCOM is used as
a shunt controller, while the numbers of SSSC are used as series converters [1]. In DPFC, there is a common
connection between the AC terminals of the shunt and the series converters, which is the transmission line.
Therefore, active power is exchanged through the AC terminals of the converters.
Fig. 3: The DPFC Structure
Fig. 4: IEEE Four Bus System
3 controlling logics are required for the operation of DPFC namely, central control, shunt control, and
series control. The reference signals for both the shunt and series converters are generated by the central control
unit of the DPFC, at fundamental frequency. Each series converter has its own series control. The controller is
used to maintain the capacitor dc voltage of its own converter and to generate series voltage at the fundamental
frequency that is prescribed by the central control. The shunt converter‟s fundamental frequency control aims to
inject a controllable reactive current to grid and to keep the capacitor dc voltage at a constant level [1].

II. Conventional Control Of DPFC
A Conventional PI controlling technique is proposed for the improvement of the performance of the
DPFC connected to the IEEE 4 bus system.
Fig.5: Distributed Power Flow Controller with PI Contol mechanisam
Observations are made for the variations in voltage of the bus at load with DPFC and without DPFC. It
is found that without DPFC the voltage of the load bus is not reached to nominal value at any time of operation
and is improved with DPFC.
III. DPFC With Fuzzy Control Mechanism
Modeling and control of dynamic systems belong to the fields in which fuzzy set techniques have
received considerable attention, not only from the scientific community but also from industry. Many
systems are not amenable to conventional modeling approaches due to the lack of precise, formal
knowledge about the system, due to strongly nonlinear behavior, due to the high degree of uncertainty, or
due to the time varying characteristics. To improve the efficiency of DPFC in the system an intelligent
control strategy, namely fuzzy control mechanism is proposed for the power system engineer. The
controlled strategy implemented by the engineers are prepared as set of rules that are simple to carry out
manually but difficult to implement by using conventional control strategy[15].
In this proposed fuzzy controller approach the inputs are error (e) and change in error (∆e)
generates required control signal. The design procedure of FLC consists of the following modules: 1)
Fuzzification 2) Fuzzy Rule-base 3) Fuzzy Inference Engine (Decision Making Logic) and 4) Defuzzification. A
Fuzzy controller operates by repeating a cycle of following four steps. First, measurements are taken of all
variables that represent relevant conditions of the controlled process (Universal Discourse). Next, these
measurements are converted into appropriate fuzzy sets to express measurement uncertainties (Fuzzification).
Fuzzy models can be seen as logical models which use "if-then" rules to establish qualitative relationships
among the variables in the model. Fuzzy sets serve as a smooth interface between the qualitative variables
involved in the rules and the numerical data at the inputs and outputs of the model. The rule-based nature of
fuzzy models allows the use of information expressed in the form of natural language statements and
consequently makes the models transparent to interpretation and analysis. At the computational level, fuzzy
models can be regarded as flexible mathematical structures that can approximate a large class of complex
nonlinear systems to a desired degree of accuracy. The fuzzified measurements are the used by the inference
engine (Decision Making Logic) to evaluate the control rules stored in fuzzy rule base. The result of this
evaluation is a output fuzzy set (or several fuzzy sets) defined on the universe of possible actions and the degree
of membership of the output fuzzy set can be calculated by using Root Sum Square Method. This fuzzy set is
then converted, in the final step of the cycle, into a crisp (single) value that, in some sense, is the best
representative of the fuzzy set (Defuzzification). The defuzzified value represents the actions taken by the fuzzy
controller in individual control cycles. Now, in the following Sections we develop the various components of
FLC to solve power quality problem. Fuzzy controller is developed to generate required control signal it
receives the input signal from the system and processing the data in different stages and generate required
output.

Fig. 6: Fuzzy Logic Controller
3.1 Selection of inputs and outputs:
In the design of fuzzy controller to address power quality problem the input variables selected as
error (e) and change in error (∆e). It takes fuzzy input from fuzzifier in form of membership value matrix and
uses fuzzy rule base to decide the fuzzy value of output. The control signal which represents rule base in terms
of membership function. The upper limit and the lower limit of the error, change in error is specified on the
previous experience of power system engineer.
3.2 Fuzzification:
Fuzzification is a process of converting crisp value of input data into suitable linguistic values
through membership function. A general form of linguistic fuzzy if-then rules is:
Ri: If x is Ai then y is Bi, i=1,2, ... ,K,
where x is the antecedent variable, which represents the input to the fuzzy system and y is the consequent
variable representing the output of the fuzzy system. K denotes the number of rules.
3.3 Development of fuzzy decision rules
The construction of rule base involves:
Based on the Expert Experience and Control Engineering Knowledge the rules are formed in the form of
“if-then” and for the present two inputs –One output case, and for two number fuzzy input partitions, the
maximum number 2×2=4 rules are to be formed.
After forming all the rules they will be tabulated in the Decision Table.
Fuzzy decision rules developed based on previous experience of power system engineer a set of control
rules can be developed these set of rules are vary person to person depends on personal experience in any
particular field. There are two fuzzy variables for each input variable, therefore 4 decision rules are possible.
This decision table consisting of linguistic numeric consequents of the rules. The number of rules depends on
number of input variables, here we considered input variables are two so maximum of 4 rules can be possible.
For example
1. If “error” is negative and “change in error” is negative than output is negative.
2. If “error” is negative and “change in error” is positive then “output” is zero.
3. If “error” is positive and “change in error” is negative then “output” is zero.
4. If “error” is positive and “change in “error” is positive then “output” is positive.
3.4 Fuzzy inference system
Fuzzy inference is the process of mapping from a given input to output using fuzzy logic. There are
two fuzzy inference systems for implementation of fuzzy logic one is mamdani type and sugeno type these two
types of inference system differs somewhat in the way output are determined.
3.5 Aggregation of fuzzy rule:
The fuzzy rule based system may contain more than one rule. the process of formulating overall
conclusions from the individually specified consequents contributed by each rule is known as aggregation of the
rule(or) computation of IF part of the rule is called aggregation.
3.6 Aggregation:
To represent in logical convenience new logical operators AND, OR, NOT are widely used in most of today‟s
fuzzy logic applications
AND: μAAB = min μA, μB ;
OR: μA∪B = max μA, μB ;
NOT:μ−A = 1 − μA
The degree which action is valid is given by the satisfactory of rules. This satisfactory is calculated by
aggregation as degree of IF part.

3.7 Decision table
The above 4 rules become the entries of decision table and are shown in shown in below.
N - Negative , P - Positive , Z – Zero
Fig.7: Decision Table
3.8 Composition
Calculation of THEN part of the rules is called composition.
3.9 Defuzzification
If a crisp (numerical) output value is required, the output fuzzy set must be defuzzified. Defuzzification
is a transformation that replaces a fuzzy set by a single numerical value representative of that set.
3.10 Algorithm For Design Of FLC
The following algorithm is proposed for designing of Fuzzy logic controller to mitigate power quality problem
of four bus system.
Step 1: Select the input variables to enhance power quality issues like swell, sag. Error and change in error
are selected as fuzzy inputs and the output of the FLC is proposed as the phase angle of injected current(D-
STATCOM) and phase angle of injected voltage(D-SSSC).
Step 2: Selected input and out variables are then partitioned in to 2 regions and their membership functions
have been defined.
Step 3: With the knowledge of the power quality issue like voltage swell and voltage sag (through the method,
“Expert Experience and Control Engineering Knowledge”), 4 rules are framed to decide the membership
function value of the output variable. The rules are then tabulated in the Decision-Table.
Step 4: Fuzzy output sets are formed and the strengths of each of the output membership function is estimated
by Root Mean Square method.
Step 5: By applying Defuzzification, Crisp output is obtained.
Step 6: With the crisp value, output signal is generated.
