In recent days, due to advancement in technology, the end users are facing severe power quality issues. Load flow analysis is one of the fundamental methodologies in solving power network problems. The key importance of Load flow analysis is to improve the performance of distribution network. The main intention of this reserach is to carry out the load flow and voltage stability analysis of 10 bus loop distribution network energized by a generator. Load flow analysis is carried out by using Newton Raphson method. The per unit voltage and angle of the proposed network is determined in all 10 buses by load flow analysis. The voltage stability analysis is implemented by introducing a fault in the network. Here, a power fault is injected at bus 4 between the time interval of 2 to 3 sec to analyse the stability of the system. The voltage stability of the system is analysed for the network with and without automatic voltage regulator (AVR). The AVR unit is tuned by using power system stabilizer (PSS). The results are examined by simulating the network using open modelica connection editor. From the simulation results the per unit voltages and angles at all 10 buses are determined for the network with and without AVR. By comparing both the results it is proved that the network with AVR has better voltage stability than the other. Thus, the voltage stability of the system is improved by connecting the generator with AVR and PSS.

A new bidirectional multilevel inverter topology with a high number of voltage levels with a very reduced number of power components is proposed in this paper. Only TEN power switches and four asymmetric DC voltage sources are used to generate 25 voltage levels in this new topology. The proposed multilevel converter is more suitable for e-mobility and photovoltaic applications where the overall energy source can be composed of a few units/associations of several basic source modules. Several benefits are provided by this new topology: Highly sinusoidal current and voltage waveforms, low Total Harmonic Distortion, very low switching losses, and minimum cost and size of the device. For optimum control of this 25-level voltage inverter, a special Modified Hybrid Modulation technique is performed. The proposed 25-level inverter is compared to various topologies published recently in terms of cost, the number of active power switches, clamped diodes, flying capacitors, DC floating capacitors, and the number of DC voltage sources. This comparison clearly shows that the proposed topology is cost-effective, compact, and very efficient.

Load flow analysis has always been used in determining the steady-state operation of an electric

In this paper, a generalized switching function-based space vector modulation (SVM) algorithm is presented and evaluated to minimize the dc voltage utilization and the ac utility grid current total harmonic distortion. This paper explores the control and modulation techniques of a single-phase three-leg converter with an active power decoupling method, where a generalized SVM algorithm is proposed and evaluated for easy implementation in a digital control platform. The active power decoupling method with the proposed converter can be achieved via dependent control and modulation techniques. The control method is separated into the ac active power control part and the dc power ripple control part, which can maintain a unity power factor at the ac utility grid and reduced the double-frequency ripple power effect on the dc-side. Simulation results validate the performance of the modulation algorithm and its control and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed power converter, as well as the two mentioned operation modes of the power converter.

Numerical validations are made, on the well-known 33 and 69 distribution networks test systems. Gauss-seidel, newton-raphson, and backward/forward PF methods are considered for the sake of comparison. All the simulations are carried out in MATLAB software.

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.

Environmental factors such as air pollution and increase in global warming by using polluting fuels are the most important reasons of using renewable and clean energy that runs in global community. Wind energy is one of the most suitable and widely used kind of renewable energy which had been in consideration so well. This paper introduces an electric power generation

The optimal voltage ensures the intersection point between the PV and battery voltage-current characteristics is near the PV module's maximum power point.
Environmental factors such as air pollution and increase in global warming by using polluting fuels are the most important reasons of using renewable and clean energy that runs in global community. Wind energy is one of the most suitable and widely used kind of renewable energy which had been in consideration so well. This paper introduces an electric power generation
system of wind based on Y-source and improved Y-source inverter to deliver optimal electrical power to the network. This new converter is from impedance source converters family. This presented converter has more degrees of freedom to adjust voltage gain and modulation. Also, by limiting the range of simultaneous control (shooting through) while it maintains the
highest power of maximizer, it can operate in higher modulation range. This causes the reduce of stress in switching and thus it will improve the quality of output. Recommended system had been simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and shown results indicate accurate functionality.
Transmission lines react to an unexpected increase in power, and if these power changes are not controlled, some lines will become overloaded on certain routes. Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) devices can change the voltage range and phase angle and thus control the power flow. This paper presents suitable mathematical modeling of FACTS
devices including static var compensator (SVC) as a parallel compensator and high voltage direct current (HVDC) bonding. A comprehensive modeling of SVC and HVDC bonding in the form of simultaneous applications for power flow is also performed, and the effects of compensations are compared. The comprehensive model obtained was implemented on the 5-bus test system in MATLAB software using the Newton-Raphson method, revealed that generators have to produce more power. Also, the addition of these devices stabilizes the voltage and controls active and reactive power in the network.

through numerical simulations using Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results show the

The high penetration of power electronic based distributed energy resources (DERs) has increased the importance and attention given to voltage security of distribution systems. Voltage control in the electrical power system is critical for a proper operating condition. Therefore, distribution systems must have the ability to maintain a secure voltage profile. Using inverters for Volt/VAR control (VVC) can provide a faster response for voltage regulation than traditional voltage regulation devices, such as transformer load tap changers and voltage regulators. The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate how smart inverters can be used to eliminate the voltage deviation by solving a mixed-integer quadratic program to determine the amount of reactive power that should be injected or absorbed at the appropriate nodes. The proposed method incorporates capacitor banks connected to the network and determines whether to turn on or off the capacitor bank for voltage regulation. These processes will be demonstrated in several cases that are focused on mitigating voltage-dips and swells.

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. For the stator side converter, we consider the Takagi-Sugeno approach where the parameters of controller have been computed by the theory of linear matrix inequalities. The stability synthesis has been checked using the Lyapunov theory. According to the grid side converter, the proportional integral controller is exploited to keep a constant voltage on the DC bus and control both types of powers. The simulation results demonstrate the robustness of the approach used.

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.

An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

In recent days, due to advancement in technology, the end users are facing
severe power quality issues. Load flow analysis is one of the fundamental
methodologies in solving power network problems. The key importance of
load flow analysis is to improve the performance of distribution network.
The main intention of this reserach is to carry out the load flow and voltage
stability analysis of 10 bus loop distribution network energized by a
generator. Load flow analysis is carried out by using Newton Raphson
method. The per unit voltage and angle of the proposed network is
determined in all 10 buses by load flow analysis. The voltage stability
analysis is implemented by introducing a fault in the network. Here, a power
fault is injected at bus 4 between the time interval of 2 to 3 sec to analyse the
stability of the system. The voltage stability of the system is analysed for the
network with and without automatic voltage regulator (AVR). The AVR unit
is tuned by using power system stabilizer (PSS). The results are examined by
simulating the network using openmodelica connection editor. From the
simulation results the per unit voltages and angles at all 10 buses are
determined for the network with and without AVR. By comparing both the
results it is proved that the network with AVR has better voltage stability
than the other. Thus, the voltage stability of the system is improved by
connecting the generator with AVR and PSS.

1. INTRODUCTION
In this modern civilization, the electrical utilities need to be automated to fulfill the requirements of
human activities. For automation various control processes are implemented to control the utilities. These
processes may be of linear or non-linear in nature which results in reducing the quality of power. In current
situation the demand for electricity increases like the increase in demand for gold in our country. So, we
should ensure that all the end users are supplied with quality power [1]-[3]. One can be confident about the
power quality when there is enough knowledge about stability of voltages, different bus angles and power
flows in a network. Hence, it is necessary to analyze power or load flow studies of network (either
transmission or distribution) to enhance its efficiency and quality [4]-[6]. Depends on the power flow studies
the following buses are framed, a) slack or reference bus, b) generator bus, and c) load bus
Here, the slack bus is provided with both voltage magnitude and angle. So, it is also called as
reference bus in the network. The generator bus is called as PV bus because the real power and voltage
magnitude are specified for it [7], [8]. The load buses they are generally known as PQ buses [9], [10]. The
per unit magnitude and phase angle of voltage for load buses are determined by using numerical methods

[11]. The numerical methods include Newton’s Raphson method, Gauss Seidel Method, Fast decoupled
method etc [12], [13]. In this research work, a well-conditioned power flow problem is framed and solved
using Newton-Raphson method. In NR technique, the non-linear equations are solved by polar coordinate
method. [14]-[16].
In general, NR method follows the steps,
Step 1 : An admittance matrix is framed.
Step 2 : Initial voltage magnitude and phase angles are assigned to all the load buses connected in the
network.
Step 3 : Calculate P and Q for all load buses.
Step 4 : Frame a Jacobian matrix.
Step 5 : Determine ∆Vi and ∆δi by using Jacobian matrix.
Step 6 : Update the voltage magnitude and phase angle for all the load buses.
Step 7 : Continue with consecutive iterations until the real and reactive powers are within the specified
range [17]-[19].
The open modelica software is an open-source software and the circuit design is purely dependant
on the components from Itesla Power System Library. Since, most of the loads used today are of non linear in
nature, they inject harmonics in the distribution network [20]-[22]. These harmonics results in voltage
disturbances in the system. Though several methodologies like implementing custom FACT devices, filtering
techniques are introduced to reduce the harmonics, load flow and stability analysis are the prime significant
methodologies to perform detailed analysis of per unit voltages at all buses [23]-[25].
The paper is organized in such a way that Section 2 explains the proposed 10 bus loop distribution
system. Section 3 describes the simulation results of load flow analysis of the distribution network with and
without AVR and PSS. Also, comparison of the simulation results is tabulated in Section 4. Section 5
concludes the power flow analysed for the networks.
2. PROPOSED 10 BUS LOOP DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
The single line diagram of 10 bus loop distribution network is given in Figurem1. This network is
energized by using a single generator. It is a 100 MVA base system. In this diagram Bus 0 is a PV bus which
is of 11kV with active power as 1pu and voltage magnitude as 1pu. Buses from 1-10 are load buses. The
active power rating is 1pu and reactive power rating is 0.5pu. Table 1 describes the power line parameters of
the distribution network. By using the above parameters, the voltage magnitude and angles of load buses are
calculated using NR method. The steps and equations involved in analysis is given:
Step 1 : Initially, the voltage magnitude of load buses is assumed as 1 and phase angle as 0.
Step 2 : Calculate P and Q using the (1) to (4).
[p.ir; p.ii] = -[sin(delta), cos(delta); -cos(delta), sin(delta)] *[id; iq] * I (1)
[p.vr; p.vi] = [sin(delta), cos(delta); -cos(delta), sin(delta)] *[vd; vq] * V (2)
P = -p. vr * p. ir - p. vi * p. ii (3)
Q = -p.vi * p. ir + p. vr * p. ii (4)
Step 3 : Jacobian matrix is formed.
Step 4 : Change in voltage magnitude and angle of load bus is determined using (5) and (6).
∆V = sqrt (p. vr^2 + p. vi^2) (5)
∆δ = atan2 (p.vi, p. vr) (6)
Step 6 : The updated value of Voltage and angle is computed by (7) and (8).
Vnew = Vold + ∆V (7)
δnew = δold + ∆δ (8)

Step 7 : The process is repeated from step 2 for next iteration. The iteration is continued until the load
buses have minimal error, which is within the specified tolerance level. After completing sufficient iteration,
magnitude and angle of voltage in all PQ buses are concluded.

Figure 2 represents the simulation circuit of 10 bus distribution system. The simulation is carried out
by using open modelica connection editor. A second order generator is connected as a source for the network.
Here, 10 buses are connected in a loop structure. Bus 0 is a generator bus. The remaining buses from 1 to 10
are load buses. To study the load flow analysis and to check stability of the network, a power fault is
introduced in Bus 4 during the time interval of 2-3 sec. The change in voltage due to the effect of fault in
different buses are analyzed in the simulation results. The electrical components used in this research

Figure 3 represents the voltage magnitude between bus 1 and 4. Because of the fault there is a
voltage drop in the time duration of 2-3 sec. The voltage dip in bus 1 is around 0.2pu and in bus 4 it is 0.8pu.
After 3 sec the buses regains their actual volatges.
Figure 3 Volatge Magnitude between Bus 1 and Bus 4
The study of voltage between buses 9 and 4 is given in Figure 4. From the graph it is clear that the
reduction of voltage observed in bus 9 is approximately 0.2pu. This value is lesser than the fall in voltage
magnitude measured in bus 4. Similarly, Figure 5 represents the voltage suppression in bus 10 due to
occurrence of fault in bus 4. The minimum voltage drop perceived is around 0.05pu which is minimum when
compared to the voltage level observed in other buses connected in the network. Since, bus 10 is very far
from fault introduced bus 4, the voltage suppression level during the prescribed time limit is less.

Also, the voltage angle varies from 101 to 108 deg. From the results, we can observe that during the
time interval 2-3 sec all the buses experience a voltage drop before reaching its steady state value. To reduce

these transients an automatic volatge regualtor alongwith power system stabilizer is connected with the

its original value. Bus 4 volatge has a drop of 0.63 pu. Fig 9 represents the voltage drop measured between

4. COMPARISON OF SIMULATION RESULTS WITH AND WITHOUT AVR
The per unit voltage of buses 1 to 10 connected with generator is given in Figure 13. From the graph
it is understood that the voltage drop exists in all buses between 2-3 sec. This is because of fault simulated in
bus 4 at that time interval. So, the drop at bus 4 is more than the drop monitored in other buses. Here, the
stable voltage is obtained at 3.2 sec. Figure 14 represents the voltage magnitude of the buses in the network
connected with AVR. All bus volatges are interrupted at the time interval of 2-3 sec with an injected fault in
bus no. 4. Due to this fault, the voltage drop observed in the buses like 3.5 and 6 nearer to bus 4 experience
maximum drop. Exactly at 3 ses the fault is cleared and all the buses regains its original voltage.
Table 5 compares various parameters between distribution network with and without AVR. The
attributes like Voltage magnitude, Voltage drop in near and far buses, transients and stability of the system
have been discussed here. The voltage magnitude of network without AVR varies from 0.893 to 0.993
whereas the system with AVR varies between 0.978-0.998. Also, the drop in near bus is around 0.8pu for the
former network and it is about 0.5pu for the later. Similarly, drop in far bus is 0.05pu in first case and 0.02pu
in second case. Regarding the transients and stability of the network, AVR implemented network is stable
than the other network.

5. CONCLUSION
Thus, from the discussion it is decided that the load flow analysis is carried out to evaluate voltage
magnitude and angle of all load buses connected in the loop distribution network using NR method. Also, the
voltage stability is analysed by using OMedit simulation. From the simulation results it is observed that the
network with AVR controlled generator performs better than the generator excited system. The following
points are observed in simulation results of AVR connected system, a) improvement in the voltage stability
of the system, b) there is a boost up in the magnitude of the voltage, and c) drop in voltage is reduced during
the fault injected time duration. As a future scope, the distribution network can be simulated using matlab for
harmonic analysis to guarantee the supply of quality power to the patrons.
