This paper presents modular multilevel converter (MMC) with circulating current control which provides an improved balanced capacitors voltages. The control is achieved by employing compensation techniques in the external and internal controls of the MMC based static compensator (STATCOM). Performance variations arise during STATCOM non-ideal operation with grid externally and during capacitors voltage transients due to charging and discharging within the MMC that result in the emergence of a voltage disturbance. The proportional integral (PI) controller is usually employed in the external and internal controls for a fast response and reactive current control. In this paper, the performance of the PI controller is improved using voltage compensation in the external control and virtual impedance in the capacitor voltage control within a five-level MMC. The proposed control minimizes the variations in the STATCOM operations with the grid and within the MMC to provide an enhanced overall system response.

DESIGN, SIMULATION, IMPLEMENTATION AND CONTROL OF PLC BASED INTEGRAL CYCLE CO...IAEME Publication
The Class of ac power controllers consists of Solid State Power Controller (SSPC) which connects and disconnects the load to the supply according to the required power. Two important voltage control techniques are commonly used for heating power control in ac power controller are Phase Control Switching and Integral Cycle Control. In case that a PCS is used for the resistive load, it can produce higher order harmonics and heavy inrush current while switching on in a cold start. In the proposed method, a disadvantage of phase controlled is removed. In this paper authors have reported simulated results, design methodology, implementation and Control of PLC Based Integral Cycle Control (ICC) method for Resistance Spot Welding (RSW).
This paper deals with comparison of responses of PI and Proportional Resonant controlled DC to AC Converter systems. The objective of this work is to regulate the output of Dual Active Bridge DC to DC converter (DABDAC). The input DC is converted into high frequency AC using Half bridge inverter. It is stepped up by using step up transformer and then it is rectified. The DC is converted into Low frequency AC using a Half bridge inverter. The open loop DABDAC system, closed loop PI based DABDAC system an Proportional Resonant Controller (PRC)based DABDAC system are designed, modeled and simulated using MATLAB Simulink. The results of PR controlled system are compared with those of PI controlled system. The results indicate that the proposed PRC-DABDAC has better time domain response than PI controlled DABDAC system. The proposed DABDAC system has advantages like high gain and steady state error in output voltage.
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.
This paper presents the optimization design and a detailed implementation in FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) of a power control strategy. This strategy is based on the phase shift angle of the inverter output voltage with respect to the grid voltage and DSPWM (Digital Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) patterns “Phase shift angle-DSPWM” for an inverter for photovoltaic system connected to the grid.

Review of the DTC Controller and Estimation of Stator Resistance in IM DrivesIAES-IJPEDS
In recent years an advanced control method called direct torque control
(DTC) has gained importance due to its capability to produce fast torque
control of induction motor. Although in these systems such variables as
torque, flux modulus and flux sector are required, resulting DTC structure is
particularly simplistic. Conventional DTC does not require any mechanical
sensor or current regulator and coordinate transformation is not present, thus
reducing the complexity. Fast and good dynamic performances and
robustness has made DTC popular and is now used widely in all industrial
applications. Despite these advantages it has some disadvantages such as
high torque ripple and slow transient response to step changes during start
up. Torque ripple in DTC is because of hysteresis controller for stator flux
linkage and torque. The ripples can be reduced if the errors of the torque and
the flux linkage and the angular region of the flux linkage are subdivided into
several smaller subsections. Since the errors are divided into smaller sections
different voltage vector is selected for small difference in error, thus a more
accurate voltage vector is selected and hence the torque and flux linkage
errors are reduced. The stator resistance changes due to change in
temperature during the operation of machine. At high speeds, the stator
resistance drop is small and can be neglected. At low speeds, this drop
becomes dominant. Any change in stator resistance gives wrong estimation
of stator flux and consequently of the torque and flux. Therefore, it is
necessary to estimate the stator resistance correctly. This paper aims to
review some of the control techniques of DTC drives and stator resistance
estimation methods.
A novel power converter that can perform both voltage and frequency conversion was proposed. Inappropriate power supply can damage sensitive sub-components and render the connected device inoperable. Henceforth, the proposed voltage–frequency converter acts as an interface to plug any electrical device directly into an electrical socket and provide the voltage and frequency required. The converter used a synchronous reference frame proportional–integral (SRFPI) controller to regulate the instantaneous output voltage and to improve steady state performance. Because the PI controller works together with the synchronous reference frame controller, it is difficult to tune the PI control parameters. To overcome this issue, a new meta heuristic optimization technique called lightening search algorithm (LSA) optimization was used to identify the optimum PI parameter values. A detailed description of the system operation and control strategy was presented. Finally, the performance of the converter was analyzed and verified by simulation and experimental results. The experimental result has shown that the proposed system has satisfactory output voltage and frequency under different input voltages.

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

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 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 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.

Many control techniques are proposed for matrix converter to get optimal results. Space vector
modulation (SVM) produces the better result compare to other methods due to vector control method [1] [2]
[3]. Since the voltage in the three phase rotate in vector notation. The performance of the direct matrix
converter is influenced by input and output under balance and unbalanced conditions. In this paper the
harmonic of different control methods are evaluated and a new control technique is proposed for the best
result. Initially the Direct matrix converter (DMC) has been discussed with two control technique PID and
FOPID. Later the best method is selected for optimization technique to reduce the harmonics further. In the
first method, the vector of input current is kept in phase with vector of input voltage. Whereas in the next
method the harmonic content of the input can be reduced by controlling input current displacement angle. In
the Proposed control strategies minimizing the output current distortion and eradicating the influence of
symmetric supply voltage is achieved by reducing the zero vectors.
Figure 1. Simple Matrix Converter Topology
In order to achieve the above result a novel compensation technique has been proposed to eradicate
the detrimental effects of the imprecise input voltages for matrix converter controlled with SVM modulation
method using FOPID controller. Under closed loop control of DMC this technique produce good
performance for different load current. In the proposed method a suitable control technique is used to
diminish the harmonics but also to maintain the power factor nearby unity. Theusefulness of the proposed
method is proven using few simulation and hardware results presented for both PID and FOPID.
2. CONTROL TECHNIQUE
Latest year there are many research proposed many method on DMC. Different control techniques
was followed both in vector and scalar methods. Many papers proposed on scalar control technique to solve
the impact on unbalanced supply voltage [4] [5] [6]. Since vector control method is proposed in this paper
due to the advantage discussed earlier.In this paper the focus is on harmonics control of matrix converter,
initially the basic PID controller is chosen, later a slight modified version of PID is used named FOPID. The
FOPID controller is further tuned using PSO. In the following sub chapter the details of each technique was
discussed and corresponding results also plotted for the proof.
2.1. PID Control Technique
Most of the academic researchers, industrial researchers and industrial application are broadly
using the PID control technique due its simplicity, superior performance like minimal overshoot, shorter
settling time for slower systems. The main requirements for any closed loop control system was rejection of
the disturbance and exclusion of noise to achieve the sustained the stability and robustness. Tuning of PID
controller is most vital issue in industrial and plant controllers. Due to ability of tuning the parameters like
proportional, integral and derivative are physically or self-tune mechanically.

by SVM algorithm. Constant and controlled current and voltage can be achieved by properly selecting the
PID tuning parameters [7]. The harmonics of different control technique is compared for the fixed load. The
value of PID tuning parameters such as Kp, Ki and Kd are chosen by iterations method. For each iteration the
above parameters are changed still to get required output. Based on the error output and harmonics, the
tuning parameters are reformed. Power factor is an important trait during the study of the matrix converter.
The simulation result in Figure 2 shows the voltage and load current almost in phase each other. Since the
voltage and current magnitude are chosen very low value. It is evident in further analysis the Power factor for
direct matrix will reach nearby unity.

harmonics is about 61% due to unbalanced supply voltage shown in Figure 7 and the percentage of the
harmonics reduced in case of balanced supply voltage shown in Figure 8. Initially the Percentage of
Harmonic is almost 50% and above in case of balance supply voltage. But later as the controller makes the
load current to steady state the harmonics start reducing. The quality and robustness of the controller as to be
improvised inorder to achieve better performance and lesser or lower harmonic distoration. Therefore, the
conventional PID controller can be replaced with a new or improved PID controller. Fractional order PID
controller with fractional order of I and D is used in the proposed system to overcome the above problem. In
recent years, in the area of modeling and controlling fractional calculus has been plays vital role. The FOPID
has two additional parameters like fractional integration λ and the order of fractional derivative δ,
along with proportional, integral and derivative parameters (Kp, Ki, and Kd) in PID Controller.
Therefore, the FOPID has five parameters for flexible control.

2.2. Fractional Order PID Control Technique
Podlubny [8] was proposed a new control technique named Fractional Order Proportional Integral
Control (FOPID). Since, this control technique affords extra degrees of freedom for more dynamic
performance compared with earlier method of PID [9]. Since FOPID produce more robustness of the system
compared to the Conventional PID Controller FOPID algorithm gives better result than previous [10]. Recent
years the FOPID controller has received attention of man researchers. The FOPID controller Eq. (1) is shown
below.

Where Kp, KI, and Kd, λ and μ are proportional, integral, and derivative gain, orders of integral and
derivative respectively.
In the above discussions the harmonics obtained by using conventional PID controller was shown. It
is evident that harmonics obtained by using above method greater than the tangible. The same approach was
carried out using different control technique. The order of the PID parameter changed and named as FOPID
technique. The best value of FOPID parameter are determined for optimal outcomes. Using FOPID technique
the control parameters are tuned and produce the best result. The control parameters are chosen for the best
switching sequence in order to get controlled current. The switching sequence of the matrix converter is
previously determined by scalar and vector control method. The switching sequence is controlled by the
SVM technique is optimized FOPID. Based on the nature of the load and supply voltage the load current is
controlled. Figure 9 show the load current obtained when the supply voltage is under balance condition. The
tuning parameter of the FOPID controller is determined by iteration method.
Figure 9. Three phase current of Direct Matrix Converter using FOPID Controller
In the above PID method the harmonics obtained was initially higher, later it start diminished. But if
the harmonics level is greater it leads to poor quality of power. Since the aim of the any controller is to
reduce the harmonic to acceptable limit to improvise the power quality [11] [12]. In Figure.10 show variation
of the harmonics level from the initial state due to FOPID controller for unbalance supply voltage a Figure.
11 show the variation harmonics due to balance supply voltage. It is proven from the analysis the FOPID
controller have better roboustness compare to PID controller. Moreover the harmonics obtained from both
balance and unbalance voltage is not much deviations. It indicate that FOPID control technique better results
both in the form of load current and reduction of Harmonics.

2.3. Particle Swarm Optimization Control Technique
In the above methods both in PID and FOPID control technique the control parameters values was
choosen by iteration method. This results the harmonic caused by both of the method is not tangiable limit.
Therefore a better method is identified to find best value of FOPID control parameters. Since there are many
Optimization techniques was used by lot of researcher. PSO is found to be one of the popular and best
method to tune the PID parameters. Computational intelligence technique find more optimal output for the
complicated systems more quickly and accurately. The method followed by the optimization technique to get
optimized result was computational intelligence.Computational intelligence is nothing but combination of
erudition, adaptation and evolution to produce a set of sequence to implement [13].
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a kind of computational based swarm intelligence technique
[14]. This process is based on replication group of animal’s communication and its behaviors such as fish
schooling and bird flocking. It bear a resemblance to the approach of finding the food by teamwork and
antagonism among the whole population. A swarm comprises of distinct particles, each unknown parameter
to be optimized is located in different position. The population of the swarm is adjusted arbitraryly. In a
PSO system, particles flutter around the multi-dimensional hunt space, modifying the location harmonizing
to its own acquaintance and the knowledge of its adjacent particle [14] [15]. The objective is to find the best
solution for the problem occurred in the previous iteration with purpose for finding the better result in the
sequence of the process which finally covers a particular solution either least or maximum. According
to the pre-defined fitness value the enactment of every particle is measured, which is difficult to solve.
PSO Algorithm consists of ‘n’ number of particles and every particle enter into ‘W’ dimensional
space. Based on three principle each particle change its position
The inertia of the particle or elements keep constant.
The state of the particle is altered based on most optimized situation.
The state of the particle is altered based on most optimized position of swarm.
The location of every particles will be reorganized to new position. The reorganized new position is
due to the most optimized position of its previous positions. As the positon of the particle is keep on altering
based on most optimized position, the velocity of the particle also changes proportionality. The new updated
position of every particle and corresponding velocity can be calculated by two Eq. (2) and (3) respectively.

It is clear from the above discussion, PSO technique achieve the objective in the best way. Since in the
proposed method FOPID controller is used to control the DMC. The parameter of FOPID was tuned using
PSO technique. It is evident form the Figure.12 due to unbalance supply voltage the harmonics is almost
reduced 5 times of basic PID controller and 2 times of FOPID controller using manual tuning. Figure.13 also
proves if the supply voltage is in balanced condition, the harmonics can be reduce less than prescribed limit.

Table 1. Shows various tuning parameter of PSO for FOPID algorithm. The assumption made in the above

In past decade many researcher proposed different method of control technique for matrix converter to
obtained best result. Table.2.shows some few control method proposed by the researcher for matrix converter
their findings and issue of the control technique. In the proposed technique the converter uses very less
number of switches and single control technique with higher voltage gain. The issues caused in the previous
methods of matrix converter can be resolved in the proposed method. The results obtained and shows in
different graphs proves satisfactory result.
3. HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION OF PSO TUNED FRACTIONAL ORDER PID CONTROL
The FOPID controller parameter such as Kp, Ki , Kd, fractional integration λ and the order of
fractional derivative δ optimal values are determined by using PSO technique. The purpose of the PSO
algorithm is to tune the above parameter for the all possible values to reach the least error. The Particles of
the PSO technique is consider as the controller parameter of the FOPID. Therefore, each time the FOPID
controller changes to the finestposition to meet the stability. Certain parameters need to be redefined so as
avoid the escaping of local variables from the global variable due to the maximum velocity of the particles.
The FOPID controller ensures the parameter, so that the output result come across the stable system.
The parameters are so selected to accomplish the global minimization of error constant. Initializing the values
PSO algorithm such as C1, C2 and velocity is shown Table.1.Since the results obtained for FOPID shows
better than the PID controller. The controller and the hardware is designed for the proposed technique. The
Figure.14 shows the full hardware setup of the matrix converter. The load used for the FOPID technique is
Resistive and Inductive shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15. Resistive and Inductive Load Used for Testing The Results
The values of L and C filter parameters on the load side is determined experimentally 48 mH and
0.01μF respectively using the relation between the output voltage and the output current for R-L load[22].
The simulation results of matrix converter are interpreted using PSO tuned FOPID R-L load. The proposed
model has been implemented both in simulation and hardware. Subsequently, the complete results of
comprising only the load side parameters using R-L load with R and L values as 398 and 48 mH
respectively. It can be observed that for varying climatic condition, and due to variable climatic condition
[23] the proposed design is capable of delivering high quality and low distortion power efficiently to the
loads at unity power factor.
The same load is tested for both simulation and hardware. The hardware result shown in Figure 16 is
tested for 15V Phase to neutral and with same load type. The load current is tested using the same voltage
show in Figure 17. The load current obtained steady state as the controller prolongs control the matrix
converter [24]-[25].

As discussed in the simulation results the harmonic generated initially more. When the controller starts
controlling the switching sequence [26] the converter will able to produce a steady state output. Moreover as
discussed earlier the power factor obtained by the proposed method is almost unity [27]. In Figure 16 the
First and third order harmonics are shows in Figure.18 the variation of values in terms of percentage. During
the initial switching period as the current not reaches the steady state and switches triggered randomly. This
cause the initial harmonics is high, as the current is controlled by the converter the harmonic suddenly comes
to lesser percentage. For a proof of result it is shown in Figure 18. The third harmonics is almost less than
10%. Further as the current continuous to maintain steady state the harmonics reduces below 5%.
Figure 18. Harmonic analysis of FOPID controller using Hardware result
The Total harmonic distortion waveform of the MC current is almost a satisfactory solution. Corresponding
results are also presented, thereby the MC substantiates its capability of providing high quality and low
distortion power for wind energy with uninterrupted power supply.
4. CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, the proposed PSO based FOPID controller gives a better robustness and
acceptable result for the given load conditions. In this paper, a swarm intelligemce technique was carried out
to enhancing the competence of FOPID to overcome the disadvantage occurring in conventional PID and
FOPID controller, Since the FOPID choose the best switching sequence from the SVM technique. Fractional
calculus affords different and higher performance for FOPID controllers which result in enhanced output.
The variation of Harmonics i.e from 61.18 % to 7.59% shows the significant changes from the initial value to
final value due to change of controller and controller tuning method. Moreover, the harmonics caused by
both balanced and unbalanced supply voltage is improved ample because of the tuning technique of the
FOPID controller.
In order to lessen the difficulty of the designer for designing the controller, PSO gives multiple
advantages to function with a less number of design approaches applied for controller.The THD result of
direct matrix converter proves ominously low harmonic contents at their output even for various reactive load
condition of different energy systems. The above hardware results proves that the harmonic content caused
for reactive load was reduced much for different conditions. In order to achieve higher efficiency for various
load, the controller is tuned precisely. Therefore the controller parameters are increased to achieve the better
result. The percentage of harmonics caused due to PID controller and FOPID is reduced in PSO. Thus the
PSO produce a satisfactory results in form of both simulation and hardware for controlling the load current
and harmonics. Moreover, by using this technique the power factor can be maintained near unity and voltage
ratio also appropriate to 1.
