Voltage stability has been considered as an important threat to power researchers and utilities since last few decades. With placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) at few selected locations, it may be quite possible to monitor voltage stability of power system network. This paper proposes optimal placement of PMUs considering impact of voltage stability based critical contingencies. Contingencies have been ranked based on voltage stability margin (the distance between the base case operating point and nose point). Variations in voltage stability margin caused by changing load patterns have also been considered while deciding critical contingencies. PMUs have been placed in the system based on results of binary integer linear programming run under system intact case and voltage stability based critical contingency cases. Effectiveness of proposed PMUs placement approach has been established by comparing nose curves obtained using PMUs measurements and pseudo-measurements under increased demands, with offline estimation of nose curves based on the results of continuation power flow. Case studies have been performed on a standard IEEE 14-bus system and practical 246-bus Northern Regional Power Grid (NRPG) system representing power network of nine states of India, with the help of Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) software.

Every country requires sufficient amount of electricity for their development. In fact, the world needs a renewable, an efficient and sustainable energy production to safeguard our future earth. We documented it, for the people around the world to know about this fascinating technology of young innovative company, Plant-e bringing creative projects to life. It is based on, living plants in Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell (P-MFC) along with bacteria to convert solar energy into in-situ electricity. Plants photosynthesize organic matter for its growth by carbon dioxide, water and thereby capturing solar energy. A significant part of this organic matter is excreted into the soil via the roots as a waste product. In the soil, naturally occurring electrochemically active bacteria break down the organic matter, and produce electrons, which are used for electricity by Plant-e technology. The main advantage of Plant Power is that living plants can capture solar energy naturally and generates electricity 24 hours per day, unlike artificial solar panels. Hence, we can consider it as a “Natural Solar Power.” Plant-e Company also established a business platform for the P-MFC as a promising new bio-energy source and clean technology for applying across the world.

This manuscript proposes a charger for electric vehicle which operates with both the grid and the solar photovoltaic (SPV) array. The charger is designed to operate in four different modes depending on the exchange of power between the grid, SPV array and the vehicle battery. The vehicle battery is charged by both grid and SPV array. The charger feeds the battery and SPV power to the grid at unity power factor. Similarly, local home loads are powered using the battery and SPV array. The sharing of power between grid and SPV array is decided by the controller and it is designed to use SPV power first and then the remaining power is taken from the other source. While feeding power to the grid, a unit template is used for synchronization. It is designed to operate with a single phase, 230V, 50 Hz AC mains installation. The performance under steady state and dynamic conditions validates the design and control of proposed charger.

In this paper, a comprehensive performance comparison has been made for different vector control methods in Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM). The vector control methods investigated are constant direct axis current control and constant current angle control. Different methods of constant current angle vector control included in this paper are MTPA (Maximum torque per ampere), MPFC (Maximum power factor control) and MTPF (Maximum torque per flux). The SynRM is driven by a current controlled PWM voltage source inverter controlled by a PI speed controller. All these methods have been modelled and simulated in Simulink/MATLAB environment, by keeping the PI controller parameters the same and a thorough comparison has been brought out. A very good performance is achieved for the above mentioned vector control methods and their performance parameters such as response time, torque ripple and peak stator current are being compared. The results obtained from the analysis will help in deciding which of the above vector control techniques can be employed in high performance drive applications such as electric vehicles, ship propulsion, traction, etc., when and under what conditions.

An autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner, also known as Robovac, performs the task of vacuuming a room autonomously without the need of human supervision. One of the major parts of the working of such a Robovac is its navigation. The Robovac discussed in this paper achieves this task with the help of an array of 4 ultrasonic sensors, which help prevent collisions, and a camera module for computer vision. A caterpillar wheel arrangement, powered by geared dc motors ensures smooth motion over different kinds of surfaces. The hybrid navigation algorithm uses four different algorithms in the same system, namely — Spiral, Wall follower, S-Shaped, and Random Walk, to ensure maximum area coverage in unit time. The proposed algorithm is efficient and simpler as compared to those reported in the earlier literature.

The anti-synchronisation between two identical Vallis systems, which describe how temperature fluctuates in the eastern and western regions of the ocean around the equatorial area, is done using sliding mode control. A novel approach of sliding mode control using proportional-integral-derivative-based switching surfaces is devised for the anti-synchronisation. Improvement on the transient response is obtained by this design in comparison with proportional-integral-based switching surfaces. The qualitative and quantitative analyses are done for both the designs. The simulation results confirm the successful achievement of the objective of the paper.

This paper aims at developing an inexpensive autonomous photovoltaic (PV) array fed irrigation pump utilizing the switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive. A modified Zeta converter is utilized between PV array and motor-pump to incorporate power conditioning. Its continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation helps to reduce the stress on its devices and also the size of PV capacitor. A Perturb and observe (P &O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm is used to maximize the power output of the PV array. DC link voltage is kept variable which allows reduction of sensors. The fundamental switching of mid-point converter improves the efficiency of the system. The suggested system is premeditated in MATLB and further confirmed with hardware implementation. The simulated and hardware results under varying environmental conditions testify the utility and worthiness of proposed system for irrigation pumps.

This paper covers the logic of Fast Bus Transfer (FBT) system between three inter-connected switchboards involving three sources. At present, commonly used schemes include a two-breaker scheme and a three-breaker scheme involving maximum two electrical sources or bus-bars. However, fast bus transfer scheme can also be applied to an electrical system involving three sources or bus-bars. Such an electrical system can be adopted to achieve higher level of reliability. The commonly available FBT microprocessors can be used without greatly changing their operating modes and internal microprocessor programming (part of standard product). The focus is on the operating scheme using the existing standard FBT modules with minor modifications.

This paper presents the study of the interaction of the electrical dynamics with the structure of the wind turbine. A grid connected Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind energy conversion system has been considered for the investigation. The dynamical structure of the blade and tower of the wind turbine has been modelled by using Euler-Lagrangian approach while the input mechanical power to the wind turbine and the wind loading on the turbine blades and tower was derived by the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method considering the aerodynamic properties of the blades. The results obtained from the time-domain simulation offer a deep understanding of the combined interaction of electrical, mechanical structural and aero-dynamical aspect of wind turbine generator system and may further be used to design various control schemes. The model has been validated using NREL's simulation tool, FAST (fatigue, aerodynamics, structures and turbulence) and TurbSim. The structural and aerodynamic data of NREL's 5-MW baseline wind turbine were used for the simulation.

In remote areas, local generating plant based on renewable energy sources has been received a greater attention to meet the energy demand. Renewable energy sources (small hydro, solar, wind, biomass etc.) have the sufficient potential in India. Utilizing these sources in stand-alone mode is an appropriate choice for energy access in local areas. The present paper deals with the size optimization of a stand-alone PV/Wind/MHP/Biomass based hybrid energy system for un-electrified village hamlets of Indian state of Uttarakhand. Further, three renewable energy scenarios are considered under the present study. Finally, a simple and efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has been used to optimize the total annual cost (TAC) for each scenario. Expected energy not supplied (EENS) is incorporated as a power reliability constraint while optimal sizing of the system components.
