The faults in a microgrid (MG) pose many challenges for operation of the system. They may lead to an increase in the operation cost. In this paper, in order to solve the problem, a novel algorithm based on the auto-configuration of MGs is proposed for minimizing the operation cost in grid-connected mode. A centralized energy management system (EMS) is also developed in accordance with the proposed algorithm, which is responsible for communication in the system and performs optimization. The EMS updates the system information and reschedules its resources upon occurrence of the faults or recovery from the faults for assuring economical operation of the MG system.

In this paper, a SVPWM for an indirect matrix converter (IMC) with dual output inverter has been proposed to eliminate the common-mode voltage (CMV). The presented converter is a combination of the conventional rectifier stage and a dual inverter stage for feeding open-end winding load. The principles of selecting suitable active vectors and zero vectors and then properly arranging the switching sequence in the dual inverter stage are described to eliminate the CMV and to obtain the zero current commutation. The dual inverter IMC with the new SVPWM method significantly eliminates the CMV without any extra hardware. The simulation results are shown to demonstrate that the new SVM method can generate good performance of the input/output waveforms and to provide CMV elimination.

Channel induction furnaces are commonly used for heating and melting alloys in the foundry industry worldwide. The melting frequency is the main issue when constructing an efficient channel furnace. This work investigates an efficient frequency for achieving more favorable results in channel induction furnaces through simulation in two-dimensional space using ANSYS Maxwell. Additionally, the best design solution for the inductor profile is also discussed.

The stochastic nature of the wind and the highly non linear transform from wind speed to electrical energy makes it more difficult to determine how to dispatch the power in order to guarantee both operational cost reduction and power system security. From a network constraint perspective for the economic dispatch problem one of the factors to be accounted for is voltage security, which impacts both active and/or reactive power dispatch. In this paper, an Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) using Graph Theory has been proposed to overcome the above-mentioned problem. Graph Theory has been used since it becomes very useful in cases of fault detection and isolation or to shed unbalanced nodes in case of excessive or insufficient supply. Simulation studies on the modified IEEE-14 Bus System have been conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a distributed control approach for optimal power dispatch towards environment-friendly power grids. To do so, an optimization problem called environmental economic dispatch, which is subjected to physical constraints of the considered power system, is solved. Consequently, we propose an approach based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) to obtain the globally optimal solution of that optimization problem in a distributed manner under a fast convergence. As a result, each generation unit can derive by itself an optimal generated power that minimizes with compromising both fuel and emission costs while satisfying both global and local physical constraints caused by the whole system and by its own. The most distinguished feature of this approach is that the power balance constraint is always guaranteed during the execution of the algorithm. Finally, the performance of our proposed approach is illustrated through the simulation to a realistic power system and the comparison with another method.

This paper proposes an application of multi objective optimization method in a smart grid. Recently, smart gird problems has become more diversified and complex which cannot be solved by single objective optimization method. Technical, economical, and placement problems of control devices should also be considered as required. The technical and economical problems are treated as ordinal multi objective optimization problem, in addition, with the operating schedule of control devices. The placement problem can be solved by using concept of combinational optimization. Therefore, this paper provides an optimization method, which simultaneously considers both multi objects and combinational problem. The handling method for combinational problems and two fold diversity in pareto optimal solutions are also provided. Finally, an index is provided from which solution can be selected by system designer and operator. This method enables to calculate annual simulation, which helps to solve optimal placement and scheduling problem throughout annual simulation.

This paper introduces a predictive voltage controller for multilevel inverter used in Dynamic Voltage Restorer, which is able to protect a sensitive load against grid voltage sags dynamically. The compensated voltages are obtained by using Phase-Lock Loop to detect the phase and the magnitude of the grid voltage then compare to the load reference voltage. A three-phase NPC inverter with output LC filter is used to generate the ac voltage that will be injected to the load via injection transformer to compensate sag voltages. A new method to generate very high quality compensated voltages based on predictive controller will be presented. The model of the systems include NPC inverter and LC filter are built to establish the equations that can be applied to calculate the future values of the compensated voltage and the dc link voltage capacitor at the next sampling time. After that, the optimal voltage vectors that minimize both the compensated voltage and the dc link capacitor errors will be chosen for the next switching state of the NPC inverter. Obtained simulation results verified the theoretical analysis. The compensated voltage is almost sinusoidal and the load voltage is always constant with THD lower than 2% when facing voltage sags.
