Abstract

This paper describes the mathematical modelling of an Integrated Recycle Heat Exchanger in a 300 MW Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler currently in operation in the Northside Power Generation Plant of JEA. Numerical data were collected from the operation. The data were used in the development and training of regression and neural network models for the Integrated Recycle Heat Exchanger. The performance of the regression and neural network models were compared using five different criteria. The findings were described in this paper. Minor differences between the performances of these models were also discussed.

Abstract

The quality of power in terms of inbound and constant voltages available at various consumers' terminals is expected to be good whenever the distribution system to which these consumers are connected is correctly planned and designed. But, it is becoming challenging due to the continuous increase in the electrical power demand that leads to go for using Distributed Generators (DG). In this work, a two stage optimal sitting and sizing of Distributed Generators is proposed in which at first stage, the optimal locations of these DG units are obtained by sensitivity analysis and in the latter stage, optimal sizes of these units are obtained by an improved Teaching and Learning optimization algorithm by considering the multiple objective functions like minimization of power loss, cost function, and emission produced. The proposed algorithm is tested on a 69-bus radial distribution test system with two substations based on the three objectives and the results are presented. Simulation results show that the proposed method has given better solution than the existing algorithm.

Abstract

The application of competitive market principles to the operation of power systems has resulted in stability margins being reduced to responding market pressures, which demand greater attention to reduced operating costs. As the overall stability limits can be closely associated with the voltage stability of the network, the incorporation of voltage collapse criteria and tools in the operation of power systems is becoming an essential part of new energy management systems. The possibility of uncertainties incidence in power system operation cannot be avoided in security studies. The load withdrawals and generation schedule are unpredictable in the market environment. In addition, the contingencies cause to reduce security margins further. In this paper, with the help of an illustrative example, the generation schedule, the importance of proper generator excitation, and how it will impact on reactive power control from a source is explored.

Abstract

In this paper, a method for calculating the power systems' P-V curves, which denote the relation between the total load and the system voltage has been presented. The method used is Homotopy Continuation Method which does not use the traditional cut-and-try process and/or a rough approximation process. The load flow calculation process is based on the Newton-Raphson method, but does not suffer from the notorious numerical calculations. The critical load condition can be obtained by increasing the load/generation by parameter 't'. This parameter handles the change in the real and reactive power directly. Not only the critical loading point, but also the P-V curve can be obtained which provides visual information to the system planers and system operators [5].

Abstract

This paper presents the control of a self-excited Induction Generator using DSTATCOM. The performance of the DSTATCOM depends on the extraction of the reference source currents. For this purpose, the control strategy adopted is IRP theory, which is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink. Generation of the PWM pulses triggers the IGBT of the VSI based DSTATCOM. This is achieved using Arduino Due, a 32 bit ARM core microcontroller interfaced with MATLAB/Simulink. The performance of the SEIG is analyzed experimentally in a hardware prototype to evaluate the effect of DSTATCOM. It is observed that SEIG with DSTATCOM provides voltage sag mitigation, reactive power compensation, and power factor improvement.

Abstract

This paper communicates a comprehensive review of different Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods of solar photovoltaic systems for Partial Shading Conditions (PSCs) when interconnected to the grids/micro-grids/AC loads through impedance source inverter and a brief survey on control methods of Z Source Inverter (ZSI) is discussed in detail. The proposed methods are compared with traditional methods like Perturb & Observation, Incremental Conductance (INC) methods under Partial Shading Conditions. The selected methods are classified as Modified Conventional methods, Soft Computing methods, and other MPPT methods. This comparison reveals that researchers are able to concentrate on shading conditions and enhance the performance of solar photovoltaic system for end users.
