Stochastic disturbances caused by renewable energy systems (e.g., wind power and solar power) may deteriorate the transient stability problems in a power system. This paper proposes a stochastic nonlinear excitation controller for transient stability enhancement in a multimachine power system. The third-order model of generators is adopted. A new probabilistic stability criterion is presented where the magnitude of a stochastic disturbance is included explicitly. Then the whole power system is represented by a nonlinear stochastic differential equation set. The proposed excitation controller is implemented by leveraging the feature of a stochastic port-Hamiltonian system. Compared with the controller design methods based on the deterministic power system model, the proposed method can improve the system stability even in the presence of continuous stochastic disturbances on power injections. Besides, it is convenient to select the Hamiltonian function as the stochastic Lyapunov function in the proposed approach. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a two-area test system with a three-phase fault.

The first light of Taiwan's photon source was produced on December 2013. TPS has been in operation for 6 years and mean time between fail (MTBF) has reached world class standards. The NSRRC upgrade of a storage ring and booster ring requires fast bipolar power supplies for the fast correction magnets. For the fast correction magnets are requirement of the correction power supplies must had a high bandwidth of 10kHz for the output current. A prototype DC/DC corrector power supply using a MOSFET full bridge circuit with a 200kHz PWM control signal and achieved up of 10kHz bandwidth with less than 3-dB attenuation for a small refer signal of the maximum operation current of 10 amperes. Finally, the prototype achieved an 11 kHz bandwidth with less than 3 dB attenuation for a refer signal 0.1V (equal to 0.lA). This paper also presents the designs of the power circuit, control circuit, MOSFET driver circuit, auxiliary & regulator power circuit, protection circuit, and component layout. The experimental results, the effectiveness of the control loop design can be verified from the gain margin and phase margin.

This paper considers sensorless control of switched reluctance motor drives, in which switching positions of the phases are determined by comparing the calculated and measured values of flux linkage. In the practical implementation of this algorithm, under certain conditions, a progressive accumulation of errors appears in determining of the switching position. To identify these conditions simulation model of the drive in MATLAB - SIMULINK has been developed. Simulation showed that one of the reasons for the failure of the algorithm may be the spread of the electromagnetic parameters of the phases due to technological deviations in the manufacture of the motor. Theoretical studies were confirmed experimentally.

In this paper, symmetrical electric vehicle charging impacts in existing low-voltage distribution grid are investigated throughout proposed methodology and their results analysed. Symmetrical loading- and voltage-related impacts are assessed for the extensive grid. A synthetic EV mix pattern was used with the purpose to demonstrate a universal observation of charging impacts. These patterns were allocated quasi-randomly to the points of common coupling within the grid based on predefined scenarios - 8, 10, 12 and 20 percent. Subsequently, quasi-static time series simulations for a duration of one year in 10-minute time steps were executed. Consequently, this paper yields results, which offer practical insight in the maximum share of electric vehicle charging in low-voltage distribution grids and provide guidance for future decision-making of distribution grid operators.

The displacement of conventional generation in an island power system by inertia-less generation such as PV, reduces the adequacy of the frequency response countermeasures provided by the remaining generation units. A chemical battery energy storage system (BESS) providing compensation techniques such as virtual inertia response (VIR) and droop-based primary frequency response (PFR) can supply the corrective power needed to remedy the increased frequency volatility. This study explores the frequency volatility in a 300 MW hydro-diesel ac-island grid for increasing levels of PV up to a target of 100 MW, and the corrective impact of BESS-based VIR and PFR. The analysis conducted in MATLAB-Simulink® showed that the combined governor response of both hydro and diesel units where fast enough to compensate the aggregated PV plant ramps, and therefore no BESS support would be required for such power imbalances. Analysis of the frequency volatility to the event of losing a large hydro unit, showed that the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) would change approximately 0.043 Hz/s for every unit change in the systems rotational inertia, increasing from 0.48 Hz/s and exceeding a target ROCOF of 1 Hz/s. The final ROCOF was 1.24 Hz/s at the 100 MW PV level. In this case, 6.52 MW BESS-based VIR and PFR power was needed to correct the frequency response to a desired target ROCOF of 1 Hz/s and nadir of above the under-frequency load shed (UFLS) limit of 58.6 Hz. In comparison, running 21 MW additional diesel units reduced the ROCOF to under 1 Hz/s, but could not maintain the nadir above the UFLS.

The paper presents a novel approach to power network reconfiguration, based on indicators and genetic optimization philosophy. The “fitness” of power network topology is estimated by the relative decrease o the total periodic short-circuit currents. Power losses, power transmission line lading, voltage levels are considered as constraints in order to ensure feasibility of the resulting topology of the network. The approach was verified using 118-bus fragment of the real regional power system and demonstrated high efficiency in comparison to the conventional genetic optimization.

The role of demonstration of functional principles to students in education is very important, especially for engineering specialities. The usage of already known situations for students, as example environmental problems is a word vide challenge, and it could be used for education purposes. The technology development process has another side, as example a few year-old electronic product lives became suddenly short. This brings to an explosion and rapid acceleration in producing e-waste and solid waste. Waste and problems that they bring such as environmental and ecological problems are currently very well recognised among young generation, and they are familiar with that challenge from school. The education and awareness among people about the consequences of their actions is a basis for the arising creativeness, and to motivate students to involve themselves for the equipment designer's position. The career development path in the area of equipment design is basis for the entrepreneurship skills development, and it a good beginning for the motivation of students. The utilisation of e-waste is a good solution to brake psychological barrier, that students can do something wrong, as the creativeness well be based on low cost solutions. Education of new generations in order to change their behaviour regarding mechatronic scrap, is presented as a new approach of treating a mechatronic scrap. This is realized by building with students a few examples of autonomous mobile robots. This process of recycling was used to combine theoretical part with a practical one, in order to design and built robot from scrap. The Building Robots from scrap is in same time a starting point on how we can reuse mechatronic scrap, and how we can start from individual level to contribute in reduction of scrap.
