Optimal reactive power dispatch involves the determination and management of reactive power resources in a power system to maintain voltage stability, improve power transfer capability, and minimize system losses. Reactive power is essential for maintaining voltage levels within acceptable limits and ensuring the reliable operation of electrical networks. The whale optimization algorithm (WOA) has been proposed to obtain the optimal location of flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) components. The efficacy of WOA is tested using conventional IEEE 14 and 30 bus test systems. Static var compensator (SVC) is used as shunt and the thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) as a series FACTS controller. The analysis is carried out for both the systems with and without FACTS controllers. Optimization techniques are applied to select the optimal control parameters. The suggested strategy is compared to other contemporary techniques such as particle swarm optimization (PSO) and grey wolf optimization (GWO). At various loading situations, the WOA-based technique outperforms other two techniques.

Global warming has led to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EV). With the increasing use of electric vehicles, it is very important to understand the impact of electric vehicle charging. Electric vehicle charging station has a serious effect on the power quality of the local power distribution network, and it cannot be ignored. The electric vehicle charger is a type of non-linear load. This non-linearity introduces harmonics into the charging station. Therefore, a high-efficiency charger in the power grid is required. This research work aims to build a charging station model to analyze the effect of EV chargers on power quality and then shunt active power filter (SAPF) based on P-Q theory and synchronous reference frame (SRF). Theory is implemented in the system to suppress harmonics. The simulation will be carried out under two cases, without active power filter (APF) and with APF when number of chargers associated to the charging station. The simulation results of both the methods will be compared and verify the effectiveness of proposed method. The simulation will be done using the MATLAB/Simulink software.

This article proposes a nine-level switched capacitor inverter (NLSCI) with a minimum number of switches. In recent years, switching capacitor (SC) multilevel inverters (MLIs) have become one of the most common inverter topologies. These proposed nine level switched capacitor inverter (NLSCI) do not deserve any external control unit for capacitor control. Since, the charging and discharging of the capacitors are controlled by the on and off states of switches. Furthermore, by employing fewer switches and DC voltage sources, the suggested design produces a greater amount of resultant voltage. Additionally, pulse width modulation (PWM) is recommended as a method to enhance output quality and power level quality. The switched-capacitor two-output multilevel inverter (SCMLI) structure's viability and effectiveness have been demonstrated using MATLAB simulation.

Easy access to distributed generation (DG) technology is promoting the utilization of single-phase DGs for residential purposes. Surplus energy generated by household DGs can be shared or sold to other communities through existing networks. However, the interconnection of single-phase DGs from residential generators to the distribution network requires careful handling to secure the reliability and quality of the electric power system. This paper focuses on the optimal placement of single-phase multi-type DGs on unbalanced distribution systems that are connected to nonlinear loads. The objective of this study is to minimize the power losses and voltage unbalances in the distribution networks. To verify the efficacy of this method in reducing voltage unbalances and harmonics, an optimization approach is also presented using three-phase DG. Optimal placement of DG is performed on a modified Kaliasin distribution system using an adaptive real coded genetic algorithm (ARC-GA). Simulation results demonstrate that the installation of single-phase DGs is highly effective in reducing power losses and voltage unbalances in the distribution networks.

Nowadays, the replacement of mechanical technologies by magnetic technologies has several advantages. Therefore, in this paper, we compare in an indirect drive chain the conventional concentric magnetic gear (CCMG) and the double-stage concentric magnetic gear (DSCMG) used as a speed multiplier for a high-power offshore wind turbine. This comparison is performed for the same gear ratio and the same torque at the input of both magnetic gears to obtain the same torque values at the output of each gear. The goal is to determine which one has the smaller amount of magnet and the higher volumetric torque density. After the calculation of the gear ratio, a first choice of geometrical parameters is adopted. Several simulations carried out by the finite element method (FEM) allowed to obtain the desired torques and to fix the final geometrical parameters of each magnetic gear. The results obtained show that the DSCMG has both the smallest magnet volume and the highest volumetric torque density compared to the CCMG.

Grid connected solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems are becoming more and more common due to steadily rising energy demand. The advantages of photovoltaic power generation, such as its eco-friendliness, low maintenance requirements, and lack of noise, are making it as a significant renewable energy source (RES). This framework presents the modeling and control design of PV grid tied system implemented with integrated single ended primary inductance (SEPIC) Luo converter. The main goal of this work includes investigating solar PV system behaviour and creating an effective grid connected solar power. Solar PV module tracks maximum power, with an aid of chaotic cascaded fuzzy a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) has developed. The DC voltage obtained is fed to 1Φ voltage source inverter (VSI) for conversion of AC voltage. In comparison to typical PWM control, the spectrum performance of the examined voltages is improved by adjusting the nominal duty cycle of main switch of SEPIC-Luo converter. So that PV output impedance is equivalent to DC-DC converter's input resistance. Finally, the obtained AC voltage is supplied to 1Φ grid for further applications. With less THD, an efficiency of 96% is achieved when the implementation of the suggested system is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink.

Given the changing nature of power systems, it is challenging to optimize the controller for controlling load frequency problems. Distributed power generating sources and power system reorganization with multi-sources and multi-stakeholders make traditional load frequency control approaches unsuitable for current power systems. This research provides the comparative analysis of regulation of the load frequency in a multiple-area deregulated electricity system with the help of soft computing. In a reorganized electrical system, the major objectives of load frequency control (LFC) are to set up system frequency into acceptable limit, swiftly return the frequency to the setpoint, reduce tie-line power flow fluctuations across adjacent control zones, and track load demand agreements. To achieve LFC's goals, proportional integral derivative (PID) gain values must be tuned, for optimization purpose, soft computational methods are used in this present work. MATLAB/Simulink simulation results show that soft computing controllers can keep tie line power interchange within contracted constraints and frequency variation within the allowed range. This article compares auto tuned PID, genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) controllers in unregulated circumstances, load frequency regulation of two-area power systems.

This paper aims to minimize the distance of the feeder path from high-voltage/medium-voltage (HV/MV) substation to medium-voltage/low-voltage (MV/LV) transformers and minimize power loss in an unbalanced distribution system by the phase-swapping concept-based load balancing. The shortest path algorithm (SPA) and the genetic algorithm (GA) for optimal feeder routing and phase balancing separately in the MV unbalanced distribution network are proposed. First, the relevant data for the system is collected. These data include substation coordinates (X, Y), active and reactive power (P, Q), phase connections, and lines’ impedance (Z). secondly, the performance of the existing configuration of the test system with numerous indications is presented. Finally, the proposed method is performed to minimize the length and power losses. The real 47-bus test system in Cambodia is chosen to demonstrate the proposed method. In this study, overall power losses, the maximum voltage imbalance, and voltage regulation are computed by the backward/forward sweep load flow. The results based on the simulation indicate the importance of the proposed approach, especially for distribution system designers and operators.

A grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) is a crucial component in modern electrical grids that enables efficient management of electricity supply and demand. BESS consists of a set of batteries connected to the power grid, allowing for the storage and release of electricity when needed. This paper addresses the challenges associated with intermittent renewable energy sources and enhancing grid stability and reliability. The primary objective of this work is to store surplus electricity during low demand and supply it to the grid during peak demand periods or when renewable energy generation is low. By storing surplus energy, BESS helps balance supply and demand fluctuations, reducing the need for expensive fossil fuel-based power plants and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, BESS provides frequency regulation, voltage support, and grid stabilization. Furthermore, BESS reduces the intermittency of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, allowing for its integration into the grid. It allows the captured energy to be stored and utilized when the renewable sources are not actively generating electricity. Grid-connected BESS are a vital component in the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future. They facilitate the effective utilization of renewable energy, enhance grid flexibility, and contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, ultimately promoting a cleaner and more reliable electricity supply. The simulation of grid connected solar system with BESS is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink environment.

The persistent exhaustion of traditional energy sources with their impacts on the environment has been initiating a significant interest in a selection of renewable-energy sources (RES) based water-pumping system. Among several renewable sources, solar-PV is the most promising and practical source for water-pumping applications that can be easily installed on a building's roof. The available solar-PV energy is integrated to AC electric motor through front-end DC-DC boost converter topology. Among the various DC-DC converter topologies, a novel switched-inductor type modified LUO converter has been proposed for solar-PV powered water pumping system. The proposed switched-inductor type modified LUO (SI-MLUO) converter have simple structure which delivers high voltage gain with low leakage currents, low current ripples, reduced voltage spikes, low dv/dt stress and high efficiency over the several conventional DC-DC converters. The operating modes and performance of proposed SI-MLUO converter topology is verified by using MATLAB/Simulink tool, simulation results are validated with conventional topologies.

The operating modes and performance of proposed SI-MLUO converter topology is verified by using MATLAB/Simulink tool, simulation results are validated with conventional topologies.","PeriodicalId":340072,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Power Engineering (IJAPE)","volume":" 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138616539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
