Received: 2 November 2020 Accepted: 18 April 2021 The present work investigates the effect of the FACTS devices on distance relay operation. FACTS devices have different advantages in power system performance, stability, and load ability. In this paper, FACTS technologies' effect on the distance protective relay is presented using the measured impedance between the fault location and the relaying point. Different factors and parameters are changed to see their impacts on the studied system. It is shown that the measured impedance is affected by the presence of the FACTS devices depending on its type (series, parallel, and hybrid), fault location, and the operation point of the FACTS device. The analyses present that the shunt FACTS devices' effect may cause overreach problem to the relay; however, series FACTS devices may cause under reach problems in distance characteristics. MATLAB 2019b does the simulation test; the results of the simulation proved the mathematical analysis. The numerical analysis in this paper may be used for researchers in fault analysis and protection coordinators.

The bidirectional dc-dc converter with high voltage gain and high efficiency plays an important role in the designing of battery charging systems. In this paper, design and development of a battery charging system utilizing coupled inductor based high gain dc-dc converter is presented. The converter uses a clamp capacitor network to recover the leakage energy of a coupled inductor. The converter has inherent soft-switching capability during turn ON, which ensures high efficiency at high switching frequency. Design equations to derive value of different passive components are given and a step-wise exclusive design to construct coupled inductor is presented. A 50 kHz, 500 W laboratory prototype has been designed, which can increase the voltage with 10 gain (boost operation) in one direction and can reduce the voltage at (1/10) gain (buck operation) in other direction. The CCCV battery charging algorithm is implemented using generic ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. Extensive experiments have been performed and the experimental results are presented in buck, boost, and battery charging operations.

In recent decades, multi-level converters have become popular and used in many power systems applications. Compared with conventional converters, multi-level converters contribute to reducing the voltage stress on the switching devices and enhancing the power quality delivered to the load.

Model Predictive current control strategy which a type of modern control algorithms was employed for driving the proposed compensator. The suggested five level converter controlled by model predictive current control is firstly examined to verify that this control algorithm is appropriate for achieving the desired performance. Then the proposed converter and control combination is employed and simulated as a static synchronous compensator in distributed power system. Moreover, in order to examine the robustness of this compensator, the load status is suggested to be heavy inductive. Simulation process has been performed using MATLAB – SIMULINK software package. The results show that the implemented configuration (converter and control algorithm) provides high power quality improvement with adequate reactive power compensation.

Harmonic distortions caused by non-linear loads (NLLs) affect the behavior of electrical systems, creating harmonics in the fundamental signal. As a result, this deteriorates the power quality. Therefore, this work proposes the implementation of a hybrid filter based on an artificial neural network (ANN) control system, focused on subharmonic, interharmonic and odd harmonic distortions generated by a three-pulse cycloconverter. In addition, a passive double tuned filter was implemented to damp even and odd harmonics. As a result, the simulation performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK showed that the responses produced by the ANN are approximate to the distortions present in the electrical system. Consequently, the levels of total voltage distortions (THDV) and total current distortions (THDI) are reduced. Therefore, the ANN control system improves the quality in the electrical network because the current and voltage harmonics comply with the electrical standards.

The work proposed in this paper concerns the study of harmonic pollution generated by static converters, particularly inverters, which largely contributes to the degradation of the supplied electrical energy quality. So, we studied in first the EMC of the conventional two-level inverter to highlight the harmful pollution of this kind of converter. We then looked at multi-level inverters to characterize their degree of pollution according to their number of levels in order to propose practical solutions for industrial applications. Thus, we considered three structures of multi-level inverters namely: a diode clamped inverter, a flying capacitor clamped inverter and a cascaded h-bridge inverter. At the end of this study, we retain that these three structures make it possible to obtain a waveform of the output voltage close to the sinusoidal form. The results of simulation obtained and compared to the STD international standard templates, also allowed us to conclude that among the three structures studied the cascaded h-bridge inverter is the most interesting from the electrical energy quality point of view. In addition, this converter has the advantage of owning a reduced number of switches which results in a weight and a cost, better than those of the other two studied inverters.

The commutation of semiconductors and their interactions with parasitic elements linked to the environment is known to be the main source of interferences conducted in power electronic converters. Thus, identifying these sources of interferences in commutation cells and determining the level of these conducted emissions generated in energy conversion systems presents a major challenge for designers. In this work, a study of the electromagnetic interferences (EMI) generated by the association of serial rectifier-chopper connected to a Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) is proposed, in which a determination of these interferences is presented in both common and differential modes. All simulations are carried out using the LT-spice software and the results obtained are validated by experimental measurements realized at APELEC laboratory (University of Sidi Bel-Abbes, Algeria).

The combination of two techniques: low-bandgap semiconductor and line-tunneling structure is an effective way to achieve the highest on-current in TFETs. In this paper, design of low-bandgap line-tunneling TEFT and its analytical modeling of drain current equation is proposed. The previously suggested drain current equation for the low-bandgap line-tunneling TEFT has been explained in a relatively complex form based on the minimum tunnel path that is an effective factor in determining band-to-band tunneling (BTBT). It has been simplified in this paper and reformulated based on gate-to-source voltage. Important design factors such as source doping concentration, material and thickness of the gate-insulator were examined by simulation and numerical calculations based on the minimum tunnel path for two low-bandgap In0.88Ga0.12As and relatively high-bandgap GaSb semiconductors. The comparison of the results obtained from simulations with the proposed analytical drain current model show a good agreement. Drain doping concentration, is an effective factor on the off-state current of low-bandgap TFET. This factor was examined in order to reduce the off-current.

In recent research works, metaheuristic methods have been widely used to minimize THD in inverters, these methods provide better computation time and effective results compared to classical methods. This paper presents a systematic analysis with a comprehensive coverage of metaheuristic methods applied to multilevel inverters. The search focused on the characteristics of the inverters used in the articles (topologies, levels, loads and evolutionary method). The aim is to show which are the characteristics of the most used case studies for the application of evolutionary metaheuristic methods. The IEEEXplorer, ScienceDirect, IET Digital Library, Springer and WorldWideScience databases have been used for the review since 2010. The results of the review show that many researchers use evolutionary algorithms, with Cascaded H-bridge Multilevel Inverter topology, RL loading and 7 levels. This highlights which features of the case studies are the most used and analysed to explore the advantages of using evolutionary metaheuristic methods.

The aim of this paper is the control of electric powered wheelchairs (EPW) which was made for people suffering of temporary or permanent disabilities due to illnesses or accidents. The EPW is powered by two Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) that are characterized by high efficiency, high torque, low noise and robustness; hence the dynamic model of the both EPW-motors is presented in the first. After that, a comparative study is made between two nonlinear command theory; Integrator Backstepping based on the second method of Lyapunov which combine the choice of the energy function with the laws control, and, fuzzy logic introduced to approach human reasoning with the help of an adequate representation of knowledge. To evaluate the performance of the two controls, numerical simulations are presented to show the evolution of electrical and mechanical quantities, the energy consumed and the squared error of the displacement and velocity. However, the reference trajectory used is that generated by the fifth-degree polynomial interpolation, which ensures a regular trajectory that is continuous in positions, velocities and accelerations.

Received: 9 September 2020 Accepted: 13 May 2021 This paper is in the field of electric power quality monitoring and presents a new approach for the identification, classification and characterization of the nine voltage dips and swells in electricity networks. The proposed method is based on the study in the complex plane of the signatures of the different voltage dips and swells. In the study of these signatures, the elements taken into account are the root mean square (RMS) values of the phases, the existence or not of an additional phase shift of the voltages and their rotation sense. The informations obtained are synthesized in three variables, and used to the implementation of the method. The results found by the computer simulations carried out by the MATLAB/Simulink software show that the proposed approach uses few parameters, is easy to implement and understand, and makes it possible to efficiently detect, classify and characterize the nine voltage dips and swells.
