An improved luo converter for high power applicationseSAT Journals
Abstract
Power conversion is one of the major requirements in various industries and in daily life. Among various types of power
conversion, DC-DC conversion has greater importance. DC-DC conversion can be reliably performed using luo converter. It
employs voltage lift technique so that output voltage is increased stage by stage, in arithmetic progression. Luo converter can be
incorporated with the Z network or impedance network so as to ensure simple start up and smooth power conversion. An
impedance network consist of two identical inductors and two identical capacitors connected in ‘X’ shape. Besides power
conversion it also offers filtering operation. The luo converter in this scheme is of switched capacitor type. It helps to provide
regulated output voltage from an unregulated source of power supply. The major benefits of this proposed scheme is that it
combines the advantages of the switched capacitor, voltage lift technique and the impedance network. Hence the proposed scheme
has various advantages such as high power density, larger range of output DC voltage, lower or no inrush current, lower
harmonic injection, simple circuit, high voltage transfer gain, can process upto several tens of watts of power. The simulation
analysis and the hardware implementation shows that the output voltage obtained is higher than the expected theoretical value.
i.e, it is the highly boosted voltage output.

Harvesting energy from the sun makes the photovoltaic (PV) power generation a promising technology. To obtain a consistent state of charge (SOC), consistent energy must be harvested and efficiently directed to the battery. Overcharging or undercharging phenomena decreases the lifetime of the battery. Besides, the effect of irradiance toward solar in term of sunlight intensity effects the efficiency and hence, sluggish the SOC. The main problem of the solar panel revealed when the temperature has increased, the efficiency of solar panel will also be decreased. This manuscript reports the finding of developing an automatic active cooling system for a solar panel with a real time energy monitoring system with internet-of-things (IoT) facility. The IoT technology assists user to measure the efficiency of the solar panel and SOC of the battery in real time from any locations. The automatic active cooling system is designed to improve the efficiency of the solar panel. The effectiveness of the proposed system is proven via the analysis of the effect of active cooling toward efficiency and SOC of photovoltaic system. The results also tabulate the comparative studies of active-to-passive cooling system, as well as the effect of cooling towards SOC and efficiency of the solar panel.
The power generation using solar photovoltaic (PV) system in microgrid requires energy storage system due to their dilute and intermittent nature. The system requires efficient control techniques to ensure the reliable operation of the microgrid. This work presents dynamic power management using a decentralized approach. The control techniques in microgrid including droop controllers in cascade with proportional-integral (PI) controllers for voltage stability and power balance have few limitations. PI controllers alone will not ensure microgrid’s stability. Their parameters cannot be optimized for varying demand and have a slow transient response which increases the settling time. The droop controllers have lower efficiency. The load power variation and steady-state voltage error make the droop control ineffective. This paper presents a control scheme for dynamic power management by incorporating the combined PI and hysteresis controller (CPIHC) technique. The system becomes robust, performs well under varying demand conditions, and shows a faster dynamic response. The proposed DC microgrid has solar PV as an energy source, a lead-acid battery as the energy storage system, constant and dynamic loads. The simulation results show the proposed CPIHC technique efficiently manages the dynamic power, regulates DC link voltage and battery’s state of charge (SoC) compared to conventional combined PI and droop controller (CPIDC).

Conventional energy resources are being replaced by Renewable energy sources mainly due to increasing

two sources for integration to a common DC bus. Proposed system is simulated using MATLAB SIMULINK to
observe its performance. Simulation results show that output voltage is properly maintained at different DC
The purpose of this article is to extract the maximum power point at which the photovoltaic system can operate optimally. The system considered is simulated under different irradiations (between 200 W/m2 and 1000 W/m2), it mainly includes the established models of solar PV and MPPT module, a DC/DC boost converter and a DC/AC converter. The most common MPPT techniques that will be studied are: "Perturbation and Observation" (P&O) method, "Incremental Conductance" (INC) method, and "Fuzzy Logic" (FL) control. Simulation results obtained using MATLAB/Simulink are analyzed and compared to evaluate the performance of each of the three techniques.
The output characteristics of the photovoltaic (PV) installation normally depend on solar radiation and ambient temperature, the charge impedance, its maximum power point (MPP) is not constant. In each state of the PV module has a point where it can produce its MPP. Therefore, MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) methods can be used to keep the photovoltaic panel running on its MPP. In this article, the objective was to determine how the different maximum point power monitoring (MPPT) techniques applied to PV systems work. Therefore, two MPPT algorithms are presented and compared under different temperature and radiation conditions: MRAC methods and sliding mode controller combined with the Incremental Conductivity (IC) algorithm. These algorithms are widely used in PV systems because of their easy implementation and low cost. These techniques were analyzed and their performance evaluated using the PSIM software under different types of solar radiation and temperature.
A Single-Phase Dual-Stage PV-Grid System with Active FilteringIAES-IJPEDS
Integrating photovoltaic based electricity into the grid and power quality
improvement have become two major issues in electrical system. Formerly,
these can be solved by using two converter systems separately, a PV-Grid
System and an active power filter. But recent technology uses only a
converter system to do both function. An existed shunt active power filter

capability. In this paper, a PV-Grid System that is capable to transfer all
power generated by PV modules and reduce harmonic contents is proposed.
The system was formed by connecting a boost chopper as a Maximum Power
Point Tracker and PV modules to the DC-link capacitor of a single-phase
SAPF. It just needed a current transducer and also required simpler control
circuits. A voltage controller was needed to achieve power equilibrium while
a current controller was needed to make the grid current sinusoidal with unity
power factor. To verify the analysis, simulations and experiments were done.

Solar Photo Voltaic Water Pumping: Harnessing Maximum PowerIDES Editor
Among alternate sources of electricity, Solar Photo
Voltaic (PV) energy is gaining prominence due to its plentiful
availability. Water pumping is an important application of
solar PV power. However people are not opting for it in large
numbers as the ‘cost per watt’ for solar pumping systems is
high. The cost can be reduced by harnessing more power per
unit installed capacity of the solar panel. One method of
realising this is by Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
wherein a power electronic converter is used to match pump
with the PV panel. Widely employed approach for MPPT is to
monitor the PV panel power and keep on adjusting the duty
cycle of converter so that tapped power is always maximum.
Present paper proposes a novel method to realise MPPT for
standalone solar PV water pumping system. It is shown that
the output power becomes the maximum when the motor
voltage becomes the maximum. Conversely, varying the duty
cycle of the converter such that load voltage is always maximum
leads to harnessing maximum power output. This approach
can be referred to as Maximum Load Voltage Point Tracking
(MVPT). We need to monitor only load voltage. It is simpler
than monitoring PV panel power as in that case it’s necessary
to measure both panel voltage and current and then find their
product.
The proposal of MVPT for realizing MPPT is substantiated
by theoretical explanation considering two types of loads: Pure
Resistance and Centrifugal Pump driven by Permanent Magnet
(PM) brushed DC Motor. The Matlab-Simulink based
simulation is also carried out. Simulation results are found
to be in close conformity with the theoretical findings.

Modeling and Simulation of Solar Photovoltaic Systemijtsrd
Solar energy is a vital untapped resource in a tropical country like ours. The main hindrance for the penetration and reach of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and high capital cost. The efficiency of solar PV is very low. In order to increase the efficiency, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are to be undertaken to match the source and load property. These techniques are employed in PV systems to make full utilization of PV array output power. Recently, many MPPT algorithms of PV system have been proposed which depends on solar irradiation and temperature, but perturb and observe (P&O) and Incremental conductance algorithms are basic and most widely used. This project firstly introduces a Mat lab Simulink of photovoltaic array. To achieve the maximum power point tracking the Incremental Conductance method and perturb and observed (P&O) method are used. These two algorithms are employed with PV model along with converter in Mat lab Simulink. Three different converter boost, buck boost and cuk converter are design according to requirement and used. Few comparisons such as voltage, current and power output for each different combination have been recorded.

We introduce in this paper a new FPGA-based Maximum Power Tracker for photovoltaic systems. The developed approach targets to modify the perturb and observe in view of reaching rapid tracking and achieving excellent accuracy, while keeping the stability performance and the reduced complexity. To perform this improvement, an automatic and smart two steps switcher is integrated, in addition inputs FIR filters are incorporated. Therefore, a high sampling frequency is attained, and consequently the tracking speed is improved. MATLAB simulations and the Xilinx FPGA implementation results show that the improved approach reaches a performance very close to the recently published MPPT methods, with lesser complexity.

Development of a Novel Robust Differential Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT...IJSRP Journal
The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems is increasingly growing in importance since they involve an exploitation of solar radiation constituting an energy source which is renewable, available in most places, and pollution-free. Despite their numerous advantages, PV systems have two major drawbacks: low energy conversion efficiency and loss of energy due to variations in meteorological conditions; for this reason, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques play a key role in exploiting the maximum energy caught by PV modules. The output characteristic of a photovoltaic array is nonlinear and changes with solar irradiation and the cell’s temperature. Therefore, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to draw peak power from the solar array to maximize the produced energy. In this study we have analyzed the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method and finding out a new and easier way to track maximum power point (MPP) and also our study is focused to overcome the drawbacks of MPPT. This research paper presents a novel MPP tracking method for tracking exact Maximum Power Point (MPP) if the irradiation or load changes.

In this paper, a Fuel cell (FC)/Photovoltaic cell (PV)/Battery operated three- phase Shunt Active power Filter (SAF) is proposed for improving the power quality at the utility side. Fuzzy based instantaneous p-q theory control is proposed for SAF. This SAF consists of Voltage Source PWM Converter (VSC) and a DC link capacitor supplied by a FC/PV/Battery. The filter provides harmonic mitigation with reactive power compensation and neutral compensation for loads at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). A Single switch boost DC-DC converter connects the FC/PV/Battery with the VSC to maintain the load. The performance of the proposed SAF is tested in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment with Fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The controller maintains the DC link voltage based on the current reference generated by the p-q theory. The Hysteresis PWM current controller is employed to generate the gating pulses to the switches in VSC.

In this paper, the design of combined operation of UPQC and PV-ARRAY is designed. The proposed system is composed of series and shunt inverters connected back to back by a dc-link to which pv-array is connected. This system is able to compensate voltage and current related problems both in inter-connected mode and islanding mode by injecting active power to grid. The fundamental aspect is that the power electronic devices (PE) and sensitive equipments (SE) are normally designed to work in non-polluted power system, so they would suffer from malfunctions when supply voltage is not pure sinusoidal. Thus this proposed operating strategy with flexible operation mode improves the power quality of the grid system combining photovoltaic array with a control of unified power quality conditioner. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used in both three phase four leg inverters. A Proportional Integral (PI) and Fuzzy Logic Controllers are used for power quality improvement by reducing the distortions in the output power. The simulated results were compared among the two controller’s strategies With pi controller and fuzzy logic controller

Open-Switch Fault-Tolerant Control of Power Converters in a Grid-Connected Ph...IAES-IJPEDS
This paper presents the study of an open switch fault tolerant control of a
grid-connected photovoltaic system. The studied system is based on the
classical DC-DC boost converter and a bidirectional 6-pulse DC-AC
converter. The objective is to provide an open-switch fault detection method
and fault-tolerant control for both of boost converter and grid-side converter
(GSC) in a grid-connected photovoltaic system. A fast fault detection method
and a reliable fault-tolerant topology are required to ensure continuity of
service, and achieve a faster corrective maintenance. In this work, the mean
value of the error voltages is used as fault indicator for the GSC, while, for
the boost converter the inductor current form is used as fault indicator. The
fault-tolerant topology was achieved by adding one redundant switch to the
boost converter, and by adding one redundant leg to the GSC. The results of
the fault tolerant control are presented and discussed to validate the proposed
approach under different scenarios and different solar irradiances.

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.
This paper presents a fast and accurate fault detection, classification and direction discrimination algorithm of transmission lines using one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNNs) that have ingrained adaptive model to avoid the feature extraction difficulties and fault classification into one learning algorithm. A proposed algorithm is directly usable with raw data and this deletes the need of a discrete feature extraction method resulting in more effective protective system. The proposed approach based on the three-phase voltages and currents signals of one end at the relay location in the transmission line system are taken as input to the proposed 1D-CNN algorithm. A 132kV power transmission line is simulated by Matlab simulink to prepare the training and testing data for the proposed 1D- CNN algorithm. The testing accuracy of the proposed algorithm is compared with other two conventional methods which are neural network and fuzzy neural network. The results of test explain that the new proposed detection system is efficient and fast for classifying and direction discrimination of fault in transmission line with high accuracy as compared with other conventional methods under various conditions of faults.
Among the most widespread renewable energy sources is solar energy; Solar panels offer a green, clean, and environmentally friendly source of energy. In the presence of several advantages of the use of photovoltaic systems, the random operation of the photovoltaic generator presents a great challenge, in the presence of a critical load. Among the most used solutions to overcome this problem is the combination of solar panels with generators or with the public grid or both. In this paper, an energy management strategy is proposed with a safety aspect by using artificial neural networks (ANNs), in order to ensure a continuous supply of electricity to consumers with a maximum solicitation of renewable energy.
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.

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 paper focuses on the modeling and control of a wind energy conversion chain using a permanent magnet synchronous machine. 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.

In this study, the Rayleigh scale factor (Cr) and modified Rayleigh scale factor (Cm) were calculated. The observed wind speed is compared with the predicted wind characteristics. The data fit test used correlation coefficient (R2), root means square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results of the proposed modified Rayleigh model provide very good results for users.

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.

current harmonics. An efficient voltage sag recognition procedure for a dynamic voltage restorer has been
developed by Fitzer et al [11]. The simulation and experimental design of shunt active power filter for
harmonics and reactive power compensation have been described by Jain et al [12]. The advantage of the
above method is that it maintains the dc link voltage constant and when there is no sun light Wind energy can
provide necessary power to the UPQC for its operation. The major disadvantage of UPQC is that it cannot
compensate the voltage interruption but proposed method can perform all the function as UPQC can and also
compensate the voltage interruption.
2. PV/ WIND ENERGY INTEGRATED UPQC CIRCUIT AND ITS FUNCTIONS
In the proposed method the design and development of the proposed PV/Wind energy-UPQC
system. By using instantaneous d-q control theory techniques along with PI and hysteresis band controller,
the mitigation of voltage sag and swell under different balance and unbalanced load conditions are simulated.
The use of a PV array and Wind energy for retaining fixed DC link voltage is another distinguishing feature
of the PV/Wind energy -UPQC system. With these functions, the proposed method is suitable for connecting
at PCC. The proposed configuration with UPQC is shown in Figure 1. Where voltage interruption

2.2. MPPT
The solar panel efficiency is increased by the use MPP technique. The MPPT is the application of
maximum power transfer theorem which says that the load will receive maximum power when the source
impedance is equal to load impedance. The MPPT is a device that extracts highest power from the solar cell
and changes the duty ratio of boost converter so as to match the load impedance to the source.
2.3. P and O MPPT
There are many method of MPPT out of which P & O technique is mostly used by the researcher
due to its simplicity and cost effective. This method works on an algorithm that first PV panel terminal
voltage and current are calculated and related value of power is measured denoted by P (k-1). The detail
algorithm is shown in below flow chart figure 4 which describes the algorithm for designing the MPP system
using P&O by Matlab simulation [14], [15].

2.4. DC/DC Step up Converter
A step up DC/DC converter is a boost converter which increases the solar voltage to desired output
voltage as required by load. The configuration is shown in Figure 4 which consists of an inductor L, switch S,
diode D1, capacitor C for filter, load resistance R and DC input voltage Vin. When the switch S is turned ON
by using switching pulse the boost inductor stores the energy fed from the input voltage source and during
this time the load current is maintain by the charged capacitor so that the load current should be
continuous [16]. During the switch off period the input voltage and the stored inductor voltage will appear
across the load hence the load voltage is increased, so the load voltage is depends upon weather switch S in
ON or OFF and this is depends upon the duty ratio D.Science the switch conducts with a duty ratio D and
then the output DC voltage is given by Equation 6.

The minimum value of duty cycle Dmin and maximum value of duty cycle Dmax used for a lossless boost
converter is given by the following Equations.

Where, Dmax is the maximum duty ratio required to keep the converter in Continuous Conduction Mode

Where, Dmin is the minimum duty cycle required to keep the converter in CCM

2.5. Matlab/Simulation of PV System
In general the efficiency of a PV unit is extremely low; therefore it is essential to operate it at the
peak power point so that the highest power can be provided to the load irrespective of continuously varying
environmental conditions. This improved power makes it well again for the use of the solar PV unit. A
DC/DC converter which is located next to the PV unit extracts maximum power by matching the impedance
of the circuit to the impedance of the PV unit Impedance matching is possible by changing the duty ratio of
the boost converter. The simulation of solar PV with P&O MPPT and Boost converter is shown in Figure 5.

3. WIND ENERGY SYSTEM
The diagram shown in Figure 8 is the basic wind energy conversion system model. The wind kinetic
energy first converted to rotational motion and by the use of gear box it is matches the speed of turbine and
generator. The function of generator is to convert the mechanical energy of turbine to electrical energy. A
rectifier is used to convert the AC voltage to DC and a battery is connected in such a way that it can charged
both the way i.e a bidirectional converter is used to charged the battery [17].
3.1. Modeling of Wind Turbines
The kinetic energy of wind is converted to rotational motion i.e wind power to mechanical power
conversion is done with the help of wind turbine blade in contact with wind speed. So different Equation are

3.2. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG)
In case of (PMSG) permanent magnet synchronous generator the magnetic field is stationary and the
flux is produce by permanent magnet not by electromagnet, so a separate supply is not required for creation
of magnetic field and the field flux remain constant. Another advantage of PMSG is that there is no
requirement of slip ring. All other construction remains same as that of normal synchronous
generator [20], [21]. The e.m.f induced in a synchronous generator.

4. CONTROL STRATEGIES OF THE UPQC SYSTEM
There are several control strategies available to find out the reference values of the voltage and the
current of UPQC. The Figure 10 shows the block diagram for control strategies of UPQC system. The
concept of instantaneous active power (p) and reactive power (q) and its application in shunt filter reference
current generation, the synchronous reference frame theory, the fuzzy logic control (FLC) for the control of
UPQC method are some of the above mentioned control strategies. Based on the above discussion, d-q theory
with hysteresis current control mode is suitable for parallel mode operation of UPQC system and d-q theory
with PWM voltage control mode is suitable for interruption mode operation. The hysteresis control method is
simple to implement and it has enhanced system stability, increased reliability and mitigates power quality
problems.
4.1. Control Scheme of Series Active Filter
The block diagram for series APF control scheme is shown in Figure 11 where Park’s
transformation method is used for generation of unit vector signal. The actual voltage and the reference are
converted to dq0 from abc coordinates and both are compared in dq0 reference frame. After the comparison
both are again converted to abc reference frame. From PLL (phase locked loop) Ø can be generated which is
required for Park’s transformation and inverse Park’s transformation. The switching pulses required for VSI
conduction are generated from the comparison of selected output voltage (Vc*) with the sensed series APF
output voltage (Vc) in a hysteresis voltage controller.
4.2. Control Scheme for Shunt Active Power Filter
The shunt (APF) is normally connected in parallel to the system which indicates the harmonics
content. To eliminate the harmonics, the equal amount of harmonic compensating current is injected in
opposite phase w.r.t the harmonic current. The control scheme shown in Figure 13 includes the transfer of
source current from a-b-c to d-q frame. In nonlinear load the source current includes both oscillating as well
as dc component. The dc component is only positive sequence component but the oscillating component
includes positive, negative and zero sequence components. To maintain the DC link voltage this active filter
will absorb some active power from the power system. The shunt active filter eliminates the harmonics
component present in the source current & make the source current wave form pure sinusoidal by acting as a
current controlled voltage source inverter.
4.4. Design of Shunt Apf
a. DC link capacitor: The active and reactive power flow to the system is provided by the link capacitor
when it is required.
b. Voltage source inverter: The electronics device which converts direct current to alternating current when
PWM signal is given to the gates of its IGBT or GTO etc. Here the main function of the VSI is to
compensate the source current harmonics present by injecting the equal and opposite compensating
current to the system.
c. Hysteresis Current Controller: Hysteresis current controller shown in Figure 12 generates PWM signal by
comparing the reference signal w.r.t to the actual signal the figure below shows the generation of PWM
signal by comparing the two current signals.

5. SIMULINK MODEL OF SOLAR PV/WIND ENERGY-UPQC SYSTEM
5.1. Result Analysis
The simulink models of PV/Wind energy-UPQC are simulated in Matlab which is shown in
Figure 14 which consist of series APF, shunt APF, solar PV, wind energy and boost converter. The
simulation result shown in Figure 15 is without series filter where voltage sag is clearly shown from 0.1sec.
to 0.3sec. When the series active filter injects voltage from 0.1sec.to 0.3sec shown in Figure 16, the load
voltage is compensated to actual value as shown in Figure 17. The Figure 18 shows the simulation result load
current before compensation and Figure 19 shows the harmonics content i.e. 16.6% by using FFT analysis.
When the shunt active filter injects current from 0.1sec.to 0.4sec as shown in Figure 20, the load current
harmonics is reduce to2.33% as shown in the FFT analysis in Figure 22 for which the load current is nearly
sinusoidal as shown in Figure 21.

6. CONCLUSION
The advantage of Photo Voltaic / Wind energy System is to retain a constant voltage of 700 volts
across the DC-Link capacitor. In this work the solar PV with boost converter output is obtaining 700V and
Wind energy with boost converter output is also 700Vand simulation of PV/ Wind energy -UPQC maintains
constant voltage of 700V when Sag, Swell and Interruption occur. It also reduces the harmonics content to
2.33% if any nonlinear load is associated. Hence the proposed scheme can regulate active and reactive power
injection to the grid and compensate voltage interruption in addition to the other usual operation of UPQC.
