Comparative of Conventional and Intelligence Controller based Hybrid Generati...IJERD Editor
Harmonic pollution of the power supply system has risen significantly in recent years due primarily
to an increase of non-linear loads connected to the utility through residential, commercial and industrial
customers. This paper, proposed a solution to eliminate the harmonics introduced by the nonlinear loads in
steady and in transients. It presents a predictive current control strategy for achieving maximum benefits from
these grid-interfacing inverters implementing conventional DC link controller and intelligence controller, when
installed in 3-phase 4-leg voltage source inverter (VSI). The inverter is controlled to perform as a multi-function
device by incorporating active power filter functionality. The use of a four-leg voltage-source inverter allows
the compensation of current harmonic components, as well as unbalanced current generated by three-phase
nonlinear loads. Renewable energy resources (RES) are being increasingly connected in distribution systems
utilizing power electronic converters. The compensation performance of the proposed active power filter and the
associated hybrid PV/Wind system generation scheme with new control scheme is demonstrated to improve the
power quality features is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
Stability model integration for large scale solar photovoltaic system using ...IJECEIAES
Due to the increased demand for renewable energy, the interest in the large-scale solar photovoltaic (LSSPV) power plant has recently grown dramatically. However, when a large amount of electricity is produced from the LSSPV power plant to the grid interconnection, the system commonly experiences instability and thus disrupt the grid system in disturbance issues such as bus fault, line-to-line fault, three-phase fault, and tripping. This sudden disturbance occurrence is tended to interrupt the stability of the system from providing balanced electrical production within the electrical grid. A dynamics response from the simulation is used to study the stability and the behavior of the photovoltaic (PV) plant into the grid interconnection by developing 118 bus system. The observation of critical clearing time (CCT) duration shows that the result from the simulation where the duration takes less than t=15 s for the system to get back to its pre-fault condition in three-phase fault and tripping in a dynamic simulation to shows that the system reaches its stability been observed through the simulation result by using from user-specific models to generic models like those advocated by the Western electricity coordinating council (WECC) in power system simulator for engineering (PSSE) software.
Modeling and Implementation of a PV-powered DC Water Pump System for IrrigationKhery Ali
The agriculture sector nowadays relies mostly on conventional energy sources and traditional irrigation ways. Considering some factors such as high costs of fossil fuels and providing new power lines, especially to remote locations and where grid electricity is either inaccessible or expensive, a solar PV powered irrigation system can be a practical choice for irrigating crop fields. In this paper, a PV-powered dc water pump system design for irrigation is presented. A comprehensive comparison between Direct Current (DC) and an Alternative Current (AC) motors powered by PV is carried out in terms of power, current, water discharge and cost. Dominant factors of the system such as the effect of solar radiation on motor power, current, and water discharge are considered in this study. The optimum tilt angle for Duhok city is considered to perform this study. The specifications of PV, DC and AC motors are tested in Matlab Simulink to show the performance of the system components. The results show that DC motor is preferred over AC in term of system complexity, cost and power consumption. In contrast, water discharge of AC pump is slightly higher than the DC pump for the same time. However, overall results demonstrate the superiority of DC motor over AC.
Major depletion of fossil fuel and the increase of greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, chloroflurocarbons (CFCs), hydroflurocarbon (HFCs), perflurocarbons (PFCs) and Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) worldwide are the catalyst for the interest of many counties towards renewable energy. The rising cost of electricity due to higher demand and less resource also led to the renewable energy venture. One of the most famous renewable energy is solar energy. Unfortunately, renewable energies are dependent on environment conditions, too. One of the major problems that affect the output energy of the solar panel is the cloud shadowing problem. Photovoltaic solar and wind hybrid system is capable to reduce the effects of the cloud shadowing by harvesting two different energy resources. However, the availability of wind energy harvesting has shown its instability performance. In this work, the photovoltaic solar array of the laboratory-scale single axis solar tracking system to maximize the output energy of the solar panel is examined experimentally. The solar array is connected in series and parallel configurations, and is experimented under different partical-shadowed conditions. The experimentation is done to develop a solar array that has a minimum effect towards this type of occurances. Experimental results proved that the parallel configured solar panel has showed less influence by the cloud shadowing as compared to the single one.

Human population of the world and its Electrical
power demand is increasing day by day. The available fossil
fuel energy resources are being depleted day by day. So it is a
wise decision to absorb the natural renewable energy
resources. Among the other natural resources, solar energy is
also a precious available energy source. In Pakistan abundance
solar energy can be easily extracted.
In this research work, impacts of solar generation system are
analyzed while integrated with 11kV radial distribution feeder.
PV system is integrated with feeder in three different ways by
using SINCAL software and its impacts in terms of the power
loss, voltage profile and short circuit level are analyzed. When
PV system is integrated with HT side it results negligible
increment in voltage, no change in LT losses, negligible
decrement in HT losses and no change in short circuit level.
When PV system is connected with LT bus-bar of each
transformer, there is significant increment in voltage, small
decrement in LT losses, significant decrement in HT losses and
smaller increment in short circuit level. When PV system is
connected with each load, there is significant increment in
voltage, large decrement in LT losses, significant decrement in
HT losses and smaller increment in short circuit level.
Evaluation of Technical Feasibility and Economic Viability of Low Power Stand...Premier Publishers
Cost effective and hassle-free energy generation without causing environmental degradation is the need of the hour for saving mother earth and mankind from imminent devastation. Solar PV (SPV) energy generating systems are gifted solutions to overcome this acute problem. Energy generation using SPV systems is quite effective and efficient only if the SPV panels are aligned to be normal to the incident solar irradiation at all times during the day. This stringent requirement is fulfilled by mounting SPV panels on sun tracking systems. Single axis and dual axes sun tracking systems are widely used for generating a fairly good amount of energy by aligning the SPV panels to follow the sun throughout the day. This research paper presents experimental results and cost analysis to prove that a tilted single axis sun tracking system is a technically feasible and economically viable solution to this demanding requirement. Experimental investigation carried out over a period of one month during October,2016 has established that the energy gain of a tilted single axis sun tracking system turns out to be 31.91 % and that for a dual axes system is marginally more with just 35.3 %. Cost analysis of these systems has shown that the cost per kWh of generated energy for a tilted single axis sun tracking system is INR. 2.92and that for a dual axis tracking system is INR. 3.42, thus reiterating the fact that a tilted single axis sun tracking system can be used with advantage in low or medium power standalone SPV power generating systems.
Now-a-days, power generation and utilization became more complicated which further affects the economy of a country. The available non-renewable energy sources that supply the demanded power do not consider environmental challenges like global warming and pollution. This leads to the development of power generation based on Renewable Energy Resources (RES). These RES are connected to the grid through power electronic converters which offer countless power quality issues that must be rectified to deliver a quality power to the end users. The proposed work uses a three phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) based Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) fed by solar Photo Voltaic (PV) system to eliminate current harmonics at the source side of the grid. The output of the PV system is given to a boost converter along with self–lift single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) for supplying high voltage gain which is accompanied by a Perturb & Observe Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).The main objective of this paper is to eliminate the current harmonics at the grid side using SAPF. Also, the proposed SAPF is used for exporting the power generated from PV to the grid. The overall system performance is validated with a help of MATLAB/SIMULINK.
The Differences between Single Diode Model and Double Diode Models of a Solar...ssuser793b4e
This research paper systematically reviewed and investigated single
diode model and double diode model of a solar photovoltaic systems in terms
of accuracy, differences under major unknown PV parameters, different
optimization and fabrication. This research paper reviewed the differences and
the similarities between the single diode model and double diode model. From
the review, it was clear that single diode model has less computation time and
number of unknown parameters compared to double diode model. The double
diode model on its own superiority is more accurate under solar shading
condition effect than single diode model but single diode model performs
better under high insolation levels. None of the two models is superior than
the other but the solar photovoltaic modelers/installers should bear the solar
irradiance of the environment before installation
Performance analysis of grid-tied photovoltaic system under varying weather c...IJECEIAES
Model and simulation of the impact of the distribution grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system feeding a variable load with its control system have been investigated in this study. Incremental Conductance (IncCond) algorithm based on maximum power point tracking (MPPT) was implemented for the PV system to extract maximum power under different weather conditions when solar irradiation varies between 250 W/m 2 and 1000 W/m 2 . The proposed system is modelled and simulated with MATLAB/Simulink tools. Under different weather conditions, the dynamic performance of the PV system is evaluated. The results obtained show the efficacy of the proposed MPPT method in response to rapid daytime weather variations. The results also show that the surplus power generated is injected into the grid when the injected power from the PV system is higher than the load demand; otherwise, the grid supplies the load.
Design Model of Photovoltaic System using PID Controlled Multi Level Inverterijtsrd
Solar energy is considered as the energy that will rule the world in coming time Various modern algorithms have been designed by different researchers to get the maximum output from the PV such as incremented conductance method, perturbing and observing method, sweeping current type method, constant voltage type method, and comparison method etc. various authors intend to produce a better algorithm reliable and efficient to suck the maximum possible energy from the PV panel. It is obvious that though renewable energy is available at free of cost it involves much of capital cost. Hence it is very important to improve its efficiency. Since these energies are natural resources, the availability is not constant. There will be always fluctuations in the output. The paper presents different stages of Solar Power plant are combined and a simulation of PV power system integrated with grid is implemented and all the results are displayed for the comparison. The results obtained have shown the robustness in term of THD level, stability of different parameters, and the tuned D.C. Voltage of the PV system with maximum power of the PV capacity.

13. LITERATURE REVIEW (CONT..)
(Eltawil and Zhao 2010):- have stated that intermitted sources like solar
PV have created an increment in demand variability and hence present
new aspects and challenges to extend the power system flexibility. He
mainly focused and investigated on the importance, advantages of grid
connected solar photovoltaic (SPV) and characterization of SPV
generation. A brief introduction of “grid-connected inverters” and its
controller with harmonic performance is also given.
(Sawin et al. 2011):- have presented the Global Status Report – 2011 in
which he reported that traditional energy resources cause harmful
pollution and also fossil fuels stores are decreasing with very fast rate
which led towards increment in fuel cost; while renewable energy is
abundant, permanent and free of cost. In past decades, there are several
serious steps taken for conservation of fossil fuel and renewable energy.
He also stated several advantages and adverse effect caused by solar
photovoltaic. 11/24/2016 7:33:51 AM 13
14. LITERATURE REVIEW (CONT..)
(Obi and Bass 2016):-have presented a literature review of the trends
and recent developments related to grid connected solar photovoltaic
system (GCSPV). He also stated that grid connected solar photovoltaic
system help to control greenhouse gas emission by balancing the power
since grid-connected SPV has characteristics of bi-directional power flow.
Since there are many topologies and configurations have been developed
for Grid connected SPV systems, they must fulfill some standards which
are required for safe operation and further proliferation of GCSPV.
Advantages and challenges caused by GCSPV systems are also been
described in detail. Solar PV has inherent nature depending on
environmental factors therefore it is necessary to use some controllers
like MPP tracker to extract maximum power from the solar PV and hence
increase the system efficiency.

15. LITERATURE REVIEW (CONT..)
(Aggarwal, Kapoor, and Tripathi 1997):- have described about the
interconnection of arrays in series or in parallel according to requirement
of power. Series arrays are used to increase voltage where as parallel
connections are used to increase the current ratings for identical power
ratings. Practically it can be seen that solar photovoltaic arrays are never
identical in nature due to several parameters of materials used (series
and shunt resistance) for manufacturing the solar panel. Hence operation
of PV may become complicated under different environmental conditions.
The nature of dependence of photo-current on shunt/series resistance is
different for each array arrangement.
(Villalva, Gazoli, & Filho, 2009):- have described the modeling of small
commercial PV besides of ideal PV first in Brazilian journal and after
modifications , in IEEE journal. Arrays are made up of various solar
panels arranged in several configurations. Paper also described the way
of combining different panels and resulted modifications in basic
equations of solar PV power generation.

16. LITERATURE REVIEW (CONT..)
(Sera, Teodorescu, and Rodriguez 2007): -have presented the single
diode model of PV cell with influence of series and parallel resistances
with alternative formula for dark saturation current. All basic equations of
solar PV model were modeled at standard temperature and conditions
(STC) and modified for different temperature and radiation levels. On the
basis of these models, actual behavior of the solar PV can be predicted.
(Pranith and Bhatti 2015):- had done a detailed study for modeling and
extraction of solar module parameters and published a review paper. He
described the solar PV modules as a clean and pollution free energy
source to fulfill the increasing power demand worldwide. SPV power
systems are made up of solar PV arrays, which in turn consists modules
and PV cells further. Strong points for need of maximum power tracking
and modeling of solar PV panels. Single diode model with methods of
parameter extraction is discussed. Merits and demerits of different
parameter obtaining technique and ease of their extraction, curve fitting
are discussed also. 11/24/2016 7:33:51 AM 16
17. LITERATURE REVIEW (CONT..)
(Hussein 1995):-have studied the dependency of power which could be
seen from the I-V curve and the P-V curve. Maximum power point can be
seen from the curves or characteristics. There are several techniques in
order to maximize the PV output depending on several atmospheric, load
conditions and array configurations. Procedure to obtain maximum power
point using incremental conductance (InC) and perturb & observe (P&O)
algorithm of MPPT was also included in the study.
(Qin and Lu 2012):-have discussed InC algorithm and P&O but with
variable step size. Thus it makes the algorithm “adaptive P&O algorithm”.
It has been seen that later algorithm was better than the first one.

emphasize on the grid integration method or any of inverter controlling
signal.

fuzzy-logic control which is relatively fast and stable. Boost converter and
inverter are used with three phase star-delta transformer for power quality
improvement. IcosΦ-control algorithm was used for generating the
compensating current of the inverter. In this control method, grid and load
currents were sensed and fed back to the controller. Finally the problems
related to power factor improvement and neutral current were
compensated successfully with low level of harmonics.

(Singh, Shahani, and Verma 2015):-have created an algorithm which is
modified to generate the compensating signals to control many features of
the system. Main feature is to mitigate the current harmonics at the point
of common coupling (PCC). A DC to DC boost converter and two-level
voltage source converter (VSC) are used for load applied at PCC. Load
may be linear or non-linear depending on the system but due to increment
in power electronics devices, non linear loads are also increased with
exponential rate. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is employed to generate
gate signals of voltage source converter (VSC). He stated that poor power
quality (PQ) is main problem in grid integration whether by single phase or
three phase system. There were many literatures which didn’t consider
PQ problems but revealing the present scenario, it is necessary to take
those into consideration and modify our control algorithm according to our
requirement, which is mainly to extract a pure sinusoidal current
waveform at PCC.

equipments grew up in the market at industrial level. Static devices were
used for DC inversion named rectifier where as for AC inversion inverters.
Several effects of harmonics including communication interference,
heating and several semiconductor devices’ malfunctioning effects were
also discussed in detail.
(Singh, Al-Haddad, and Chandra 1999):-discussed active power filters
(APF) in detail. Several limitations of passive filters and increasing
harmonic pollution of systems have made APFs; a matured technology.
Active power filter (APF) injects harmonic current in the system which
would be 1800 phase shifted with load current harmonics and thus
compensate the current harmonics. He also presented a detailed view of
harmonics in different power system i.e. single phase (two-wire), three-
phase (three-wire, four-wire). Different configurations with active series,
active shunt filters or combinations has been raised in the market now a
days, named active power conditioners (APCs)/(APFs). Various control
strategies of different domain with their extraction methods are also
discussed which was very helpful for my thesis work. Different control

(Akagi, Kanazawa, and Nabae 1984):- have provided a new approach
for power factor correction named p-q theory, by providing harmonic
reactive power compensation without energy storage elements like Land
C, which was not considered before. Thus several harmonics can be
eliminated using the modified theory and a unity power factor operation
can be obtained, which is one of the fundamental requirement of grid-
connected SPV system. Transformations are used in p-q theory to find
instantaneous active and reactive power which makes the calculation
easier and accurate.

(Rodríguez, Lai, and Peng 2002):- have presented a detailed survey on
multilevel inverter including its types, need, advantages, various control

inverters mainly use several DC sources to make stepped output
waveform from a constant DC. This mechanism of using low rated
voltage sources instead of a large voltage source reduces the stress on
switches relatively by traditional two-level inverter. Systematic
representation is done by the authors to guide for designing APF and its
applications in distribution power network including techniques used in
various renewable energy applications.
(Rech et al. 2002):-have shown that several topologies of multilevel
inverters had been developed and matured for medium and high power
applications, due to their ability to operate at higher voltage and power
levels with limited device ratings and also because the output waveforms
presented a reduced harmonic content if compared with the two-level
inverter topologies.

with several advantages and advanced applications of MLI with modern
trend of renewable energy. Topologies and modulation methods of all
three basic MLI are described in schematic way.
(Rasheed et al. 2013):-have selected two types of multilevel inverters
named cascaded H-bridge MLI and diode-clamped MLI in his study.
These MLIs are mostly used for harmonic reduction on high power
applications or in any electrical distribution systems. The study was
focused on the performance and analysis of a three phase multilevel
inverters including cascaded H-bridge and diode clamp based on SPWM
approaches. GTO modules were used to build-up inverter modules.
(Panda and Patnaik 2015):-have presented level-wise study of current

25. IDENTIFYING RESEARCH GAPS
The basic problems associated with the grid interfaced SPV power
generating system is poor power quality (PQ) in the present day
distribution systems because of voltage fluctuations, waveform distortion,
and poor power factor caused by other connected linear and non-linear
loads at point of common coupling (PCC).
Modeling of photovoltaic power must be as much close to as of real
physical world instead of an ideal solar cell, such that the results of the
simulation model and in the real implementation are approximately same.
Harmonic distortion depends also upon the type of VSC used.
Conventional VSC has greater harmonic distortion than multi-level
converters hence multi-level inverters must be used for grid integration.
