Improved dynamic response of dstatcom using genetic algorithmAlexander Decker
This document describes the configuration and control of a DSTATCOM (distributed static compensator) using genetic algorithms. A DSTATCOM consists of a voltage source inverter connected to a distribution network via a transformer to regulate voltage and compensate for reactive power. The performance depends on regulating the DC capacitor voltage. Typically a PI controller is used but it does not perfectly regulate the capacitor voltage. This paper applies a genetic algorithm to optimize the PI controller gains in order to improve the dynamic response by reducing disturbances in the DC voltage. The optimized PI coefficients are implemented in the controller and simulations show improved convergence speed and reduction in errors and overshoot.

Abstract
Direct Power Control with switching table control produces irregular ripples and variable switching frequency. In the improved DPC of PWM rectifiers using fractional control period of the active voltage vector and the rest period for the null vector not only makes it line side inductance independent of the circuit and is very simple to implement due to the duty cycle concept. By simulation it is identified that the level of distortion as well as regulation of the DC link voltage with control of power factor improves the overall performance of the drive. The improved Direct Power Control (DPC) PWM methodology is comprehensively analyzed and studied for three phase rectifiers and compared with the classical DPC with PLL. The MATLAB simulations shows the effectiveness in obtaining unity power factor and constant dc link voltage control. The power ripples are considerably reduced and input sinusoidal grid currents are obtained.

Simulation and Analysis of a D-STATCOM for Load Compensation and Power Facto...IJMER
Power Generation and Transmission is a complex process, requiring the working of many
components of the power system in tandem to maximize the output. One of the main components to form
a major part is the reactive power in the system. It is required to maintain the voltage to deliver the
active power through the lines. Loads like motor loads and other loads require reactive power for their
operation. To improve the performance of ac power systems, we need to manage this reactive power in
an efficient way and this is known as reactive power compensation. In developing countries like India,
where the variation of power frequency and many such other determinants of power quality are
themselves a serious question, it is very vital to take positive steps in this direction.
The work presented here illustrates a method to compensate for the load reactive power using a
DSTATCOM
A DSTATCOM injects a current into the system to provide for the reactive component of the load
current. The validity of proposed method and achievement of desired compensation are confirmed by
the results of the simulation in MATLAB/ Simulink.

The issue of voltage stability has become predominant in larger power systems, since the
system is operated close to its capabilities in recent years. Addressing this concern considering the
economic constraints is a challenge .This draws attention towards the localization of the reactive
components that can improve the overall voltage profile in the system. This paper discusses a
methodology for suitable selection of position (bus) for the placement of capacitor bank wherein the
injection of fixed amount of reactive power is made to depict a picture of the overall improved

Improved dynamic response of dstatcom using genetic algorithmAlexander Decker
This document describes the configuration and control of a DSTATCOM (distributed static compensator) using genetic algorithms. A DSTATCOM consists of a voltage source inverter connected to a distribution network via a transformer to regulate voltage and compensate for reactive power. The performance depends on regulating the DC capacitor voltage. Typically a PI controller is used but it does not perfectly regulate the capacitor voltage. This paper applies a genetic algorithm to optimize the PI controller gains in order to improve the dynamic response by reducing disturbances in the DC voltage. The optimized PI coefficients are implemented in the controller and simulations show improved convergence speed and reduction in errors and overshoot.

This document describes an improved fuzzy control strategy for a single-phase inverter used in distributed power generation systems to improve power quality. The control strategy allows the inverter to generate active power from a renewable energy source while also compensating for reactive power and current harmonics from local nonlinear loads. The control scheme uses a reference current generator based on sinusoidal signal integrators and instantaneous reactive power theory. It also employs a dedicated repetitive current controller with a fuzzy controller. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution for active power generation, reactive power compensation, and harmonic compensation when connected to the grid.

Abstract
Direct Power Control with switching table control produces irregular ripples and variable switching frequency. In the improved DPC of PWM rectifiers using fractional control period of the active voltage vector and the rest period for the null vector not only makes it line side inductance independent of the circuit and is very simple to implement due to the duty cycle concept. By simulation it is identified that the level of distortion as well as regulation of the DC link voltage with control of power factor improves the overall performance of the drive. The improved Direct Power Control (DPC) PWM methodology is comprehensively analyzed and studied for three phase rectifiers and compared with the classical DPC with PLL. The MATLAB simulations shows the effectiveness in obtaining unity power factor and constant dc link voltage control. The power ripples are considerably reduced and input sinusoidal grid currents are obtained.

Simulation and Analysis of a D-STATCOM for Load Compensation and Power Facto...IJMER
Power Generation and Transmission is a complex process, requiring the working of many
components of the power system in tandem to maximize the output. One of the main components to form
a major part is the reactive power in the system. It is required to maintain the voltage to deliver the
active power through the lines. Loads like motor loads and other loads require reactive power for their
operation. To improve the performance of ac power systems, we need to manage this reactive power in
an efficient way and this is known as reactive power compensation. In developing countries like India,
where the variation of power frequency and many such other determinants of power quality are
themselves a serious question, it is very vital to take positive steps in this direction.
The work presented here illustrates a method to compensate for the load reactive power using a
DSTATCOM
A DSTATCOM injects a current into the system to provide for the reactive component of the load
current. The validity of proposed method and achievement of desired compensation are confirmed by
the results of the simulation in MATLAB/ Simulink.

This paper presents an analysis of Direct Power Control (DPC) technique for the Three-Phase Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) AC-DC converter under unbalanced supply condition. Unbalance condition will cause the presence of unbalanced current and voltages thus produce the negative components on the grid voltage as well as severe performance degradation of a grid connected Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The input structures for conventional DPC has been modified with a three simpler sequence networks instead of coupled by a detailed Three-Phase system method. The imbalance voltage can be resolved by separating from the individual elements of voltage and current into symmetrical components called Sequence Network. Consequently, the input power relatively improved during unbalanced condition almost 70% through the measurement of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) from the conventional Direct Power Control (DPC) in individual elements which is higher compared to separate components. Hence, several analyses are performed in order to analyze the steady state and dynamic performance of the converter, particularly during the load and DC voltage output reference variations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 document describes a proposed modified bridge-type nonsuperconducting fault current limiter (NSFCL) for distribution networks. The NSFCL consists of a bridge rectifier, two DC reactors (one small in series and one large in parallel), and an IGBT semiconductor switch controlled by a command circuit. During normal operation, the IGBT is on and the parallel reactor is bypassed, making the NSFCL invisible. During a fault, the IGBT turns off, inserting the parallel reactor to limit fault current. Simulation results showed the design effectively limits fault current while minimally affecting normal operation.
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.

The electronic load requires a power converter to operate and a linear regulator is a common option. Nonetheless, it is hard to control due to the temperature variation. 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.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
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.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

PI controller are it doesn’t require accurate mathematical model values and it can handle any non linearity
with inaccurate inputs values. Mostly mamdani type fuzzy logic controller is used and it gives better results
for SRF controlled DSTATCOM. The fuzzy logic controller gives better results for DSTATCOM application
while comparing with PI controller [15, 16].
In this paper SRF controlled DSTATCOM is proposed and implemented on 11/0.4kv distribution
system. The performance of the proposed DSTATCOM is analyzed under nonlinear load conditions in terms
of harmonic mitigation and DC link voltage regulations. The objectives of the this paper are
a. Extracting the reference current control signal, using synchronous reference frame theory to
compensate current harmonic at the PCC produced by nonlinear load.
b. Also Compensate source current harmonic and regulating the load voltage
c. Regulating the dc link voltage of voltage source inverter using with PI and Fuzzy logic controller
and comparing the performance of DSTATCOM with separately using PI and Fuzzy logic
controller.
d. Reactive power compensation and maintaining the constant voltage at PCC, under nonlinear load
conditions.
e. Power factor correction.
2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Figure 1 shows the system configuration of proposed Distribution static compensator (D-
STATCOM) for the three phase three wire distribution system with nonlinear load. Three phase source
voltage of 11kv is stepped down to 400V by using 11/0.4Kv three phase transformers and connected to three
phase nonlinear load. The connected nonlinear load introduces harmonic at the PCC. By Connecting
DSTATCOM at the PCC harmonics elimination, load balancing with power factor correction and line
voltage regulation at the bus are compensated. The DSTATCOM consist of three leg voltage source inverter
using six IGBTs switches with interface inductor (Lf), dc link capacitor. The switching transients during
DSTATCOM switching can be controlled by connecting a three phase capacitor ripple filter (Cf)
Figure 1. The system configuration
The modulated control switching signals to the VSI DSTATCOM is obtained from the synchronous
reference control (SRF) strategy with hysteresis band control.
3. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The block diagram of the proposed SRF control algorithm is shown in Figure 2. The control
algorithm is used for extracting the fundamental reference control signals to switching of VSI based
DSTATCOM for harmonic and reactive power compensation during balanced nonlinear load condition.
The non linear load currents consist of active, reactive and harmonic currents in three phase system.
In this, the reactive and harmonic components of currents are separated, for compensation. The separation
includes converting the instantaneous three phase load currents into two phase stationary α-β-0 axis using
Clark’s transformation equation.

Figure 2. The block diagram of the proposed control algorithm
The stationery α-β-0 current axis components are transformed into d-q-0 (d-direct axis, q-quadrature
axis components) rotating reference frame by using park transformation equation.
(2)
Here the θ is the transformation angle. The cosθ and sinθ is obtained from the three phase PLL block (phase
locked loop) of voltage source for synchronization of voltage and current.
The iLd and iLq current components are called instantaneous active and reactive load current components.
Each current component has an average value (dc component) and oscillating value (ac component) as given
equation (3) & equation (4).
iLd =id dc+id ac (3)
iLq =iq dc+iq ac (4)
id dc and iq dc are the average or dc component of iLd and
id ac and iq ac are the oscillating or ac component of iLq and
The oscillatory component (harmonic) appears like ripples. After eliminating the oscillatory current
component by using Low pass filter, the average active and reactive current components are given in
equation (5) & equation (6).
iLd =id dc (5)
iLq =iq dc (6)
The output current of the PI or fuzzy logic controller is considered as loss current component (iLoss) is added
to the average active reference current component of d-axis in d-q frame, In order to maintain the constant
DC link voltage and to supply the losses in DSTATCOM. Then the active reference current component is
iLd* =id dc +iloss (7)
The direct axis reference current component (iLd*) is used for compensation of harmonics and power factor.

Similarly for regulating the voltage at the PCC, the source must need to deliver the reactive current (iqr) ,to be
added to the average reactive reference component of current (iq dc)of q-axis in d-q frame same as direct
current axis component. Then the resultant reactive reference current component is
iLq* =iq dc +iqr (8)
The reactive current (iqr) is obtained from the PI controller output, the input to the PI controller is
obtained by subtracting the voltage amplitude Vs from the reference voltage Vs* and is fed to PI controller.
Here the amplitude of the PCC voltage is given as
(9)
The PI controller output is given as
Vqr(n)=Vqr(n-1)+Kpq(Vte(n)-Vte(n-1))+KiqVte(n) (10)
Where Vte(n) =V*s-Vs(n) is the error between the reference (V*s ) and actual(Vs) terminal voltage
amplitude at the nth sampling instant. Here Kpq and Kiq are the proportional and the integral gains of the PI
controller. The reactive reference current component (iLq*) is used for ac voltage regulation and
compensation of load reactive power. The Active and reactive reference current component (iLd*, iLq*) are
transformed in to α-β-0 frame obtained by using inverse park’s Equation (11)
(11)
The reference currents from the Inverse Park’s are transformed into three phase reference current (a-b-c) by
using inverse Clark’s Equation (11).
(12)
The obtained three phase reference currents (i sa*, i sb*, i sc*) are compared with the actual
compensating filter currents in hysteresis band controller for better switching of VSI of IGBT’s. The main
advantage of this hysteresis band controller is easy implementation, better stability, faster response as
compared to the other controller like carrier based, bead beat and feed forward etc [17]. The main
disadvantage of the carrier based controller is variable switching frequency which may causes stress on the
switching devices as compared to the hysteresis band controller
4. DC LINK VOLTAGE REGULATION
The quality and performance of DSTATCOM depends upon the generation of the compensating
reference current, In which dc link voltage regulation is the key factor. According to requirement of
compensating current, the dc-link voltage (Vdc) is either increases or decreases. For proper operation of VSI
the dc side of the inverter should kept constant at a particular reference value. The filter and switching power
losses of VSI overcome by maintaining constant dc-link voltage. In order to regulating or maintaining dc-link
voltage constant a controller is needed to add the average active current component (id dc) of d-axis in rotating
frame theory. Here the following two controllers have been added and compared.
a. PI controller
b. Fuzzy logic controller
4.1. PI Controller
Figure 3 shows the PI controller block diagram. It is the internal structure of the control circuit. The
source must need to deliver the loss reference component of current (iLOSS) along with active reference
current component (iLd), for the supplying of losses in the DSTATCOM and filter. The loss reference

component of current (iLOSS) is extracted, by comparing the reference dc bus voltage Vdc*with the actual dc
bus voltage Vdc of VSI at the nth
sampling instant.
Vde(n) = Vdc*(n) - Vdc(n) (13)
The compared error signal Vde(n) is processed through a PI controller to compute the loss component (iLoss)at
nth
sampling instant is expressed as
i Loss(n) = iloss(n-1) + kpd (Vde(n) - Vde(n-1))+kid Vde(n) (14)
Here the kpd and kid are the proportional and integral gains of PI controller. The values given kpd =
0.6, kid = 0.007.the output of the PI controller is the loss reference component (iLoss) of the DSTSTCOM. The
loss reference current component (iloss) is added to the average active reference component (iLd) for regulating
the active reference component of current (iLd*).The estimated reference current component is compared with
the actual compensating filter currents in hysteresis band controller for better switching of VSI of IGBT’s
Figure 3. Block diagram of PI controller
4.2. Fuzzy logic controller
Figure 4(a) shows the proposed internal structure of Fuzzy logic controller and the Figure 4(b)
shows the proposed control block diagram of the fuzzy logic controller. The actual dc link capacitor voltage
is compared with the reference dc voltage. The error signal is processed through the fuzzy logic controller,
reference.
For supplying the active power to compensate the losses in VSI and maintain the dc-link voltage
constant, the fuzzy logic controller output is added to the fundamental active current component and the
resultant compensating current are compared with the actual sensed compensating filter current in hysteresis
band, which gives error signal. The error signal decides the operation of the VSI.
