Additional digital layer is an important aspect in the Smart grid architecture. We gather the data using this layer and the whole grid is controlled accordingly. Energy cost can be estimated and the demand can be predicted. Estimation of health issues of electrical equipment can be done from the control room by gathering the data from remote locations. In the case of computer-aided digital relay model if we choose the pilot relay action by remote data then that would be the good application of this digital layer. In this paper, we have suggested an alternative method- to gather and analyze the remote data using the serverless cloud computing framework. The prime objective is to design a cheaper and technically easier simulation strategy with this new framework. At the end, we have tried to create a mathematical model to estimate the cost and quality of service. The system is simulated using MATLAB, Amazon Web Service (AWS) products and a batch program.

Bidirectional flow of power in power network imposes a serious threat on the reliable operation of overcurrent relays. Coordination of overcurrent relays is a challenging problem in multi-feed and heavily meshed power network. Complexity of problem increases as the size of system increases. Recently artificial intelligence based optimization techniques are applied successfully for optimizing the relay settings. Traditionally overcurrent relays are electro-mechanical in nature with discrete time dial and plug setting. Optimization of relay coordination problem considering electro-mechanical based over current relays requires an optimization algorithm which can handle the discrete types of variables. In this paper application of CMA-ES optimization algorithm is extended for coordination of overcurrent relays. Relay coordination problem is modified to optimize the relay setting for both near and far end faults. In addition to minimization of total operating time of primary and backup relays, coordination time margin is also optimized between 0.3 to 1.0 second for reliable operation of backup relays. The performance of proposed CMA-ES optimization algorithm is compared with other well established artificial intelligence bases optimization algorithms

Current Limiting Reactors (CLR) connected in series with the transmission line, limit system short circuit currents on occurrence of a fault. Cost and size of these current limiting reactors is conventionally attributed to the system specified peak short circuit current and the inductance, as peak short circuit current and the duration of short circuit are the basis for size of the conductor. The conventional designs overlook the fact that peak current flowing through CLR is not constant but changes with the instant of short circuit. The short circuit currents also differ substantially from one short circuit to other. This variation in peak short circuit current, spread over from minimum to maximum, is statistically studied and generalized using PSCAD simulation in this work, for a standard power system (40kA) to study the scatter, highest amplitude and frequency of occurrence. Number of experiments has been conducted utilizing randomly selected short circuit events and for various sample sizes. Authors have co-related results and defined optimal experiments for acceptable prediction accuracy. The work is extended further to develop an empirical relation defining the change. The authors claim that substantial reduction in cost and size of CLR is possible considering statistical rating of CLRs against conventional.

A single-phase, single-stage current source inverter (CSI) suitable for transformer-less grid-PV interface is proposed in this paper. A split capacitor arrangement and a common mode choke are used to modify the conventional CSI structure, to reduce the leakage current. Higher reliability and voltage boosting capability of the CSI are the main advantages compared to the voltage source inverter (VSI). A cost effective and computationally less intensive control method based on the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique is suggested to improve the quality of the grid current. Design and analysis of the proposed CSI structure and the modified control technique is discussed in detail. Reduced leakage current and high quality injected grid current, with a relatively low value of inductor is obtained with the suggested modification. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed CSI with the proposed modification in the SPWM technique.

This paper presents a modeling approach for analysis of Torque, Current and Voltage characteristics. Distributed Generation systems are becoming more popular everyday due to its greater efficiency and eco-friendly behavior. Another advantage of DG System is that it can operate independently or can be connected to a Grid system. In this paper a microturbine based DG System is created using MATLAB and the output is thus connected to the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and the characteristics for Stator Current, Electromagnetic Torque and Rotor Speed are plotted down. Furthermore, the Voltage and Current is also measured across an isolated Resistive Load.

In this paper, a single- stage smoothing filter algorithm is used for the speed- sensorless field-oriented control of induction motors and is verified experimentally. A fifth-order model of the induction machine (IM) is used for the estimation of rotor currents and speed. The uncertainties in measurement and model are accounted for. The experiment is carried out on a closed loop field- oriented system. An estimate of the state variables in the next instant is made, using the conventional extended Kalman filter (EKF). This estimate is used to smoothen the estimate of the previous instant. This refinement is found to improve the estimates of the previous and next instantces, since an additional data point is made use of. Using the measured stator phase voltages and currents, speed is estimated. The results are compared with those with the Extended Kalman Filter. The algorithm is found to make improvement in the transient part of response of the system. The performance of the system for different reference speeds is also analyzed. It is observed that the transient performance is improved and estimation remains good for a range of values of process and measurement error covariances.

Solar Photovoltaic power generation systems are progressively widespread with the rise in the energy demand, to reduce consumption of fossil fuels and the concern for the environmental pollution around the world. Also multilevel inverters have gained additional attention within the field of energy distribution and control due to its various advantages in high-power medium-voltage applications with low harmonics. This paper proposed an improved Hybrid Level and Phase-Shifted Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (HLP-SPWM) technique for a modular 5-level Cascaded Flying Capacitor Half Bridge (CFCHB) Inverter topology that is employed for PV system connection for improving the power quality of the inverter output voltage, and increase in its power rating. This improved modular cascaded multilevel topology helps to improve the efficiency of PV systems. Also to meet better use of PV modules and maximize the solar energy extraction, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control scheme is applied. A performance comparison between 5-level CFCHB inverter with CHB inverter respective to harmonics content, voltage stress for the switches with photovoltaic cell as its input source is simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink.
