The most common voltage used in power plants to supply LV electrical distribution system is 400 V. However, the adoption of a higher voltage level presents some advantages, mainly in terms of capital cost and network efficiency improvement. The target of this compression study is to show the advantages of replacement of 690 V electric motors instead of 400 V in Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) fan. The results of the compression are conformed by computer simulations.

In this paper a developed quadratic based high step-up DC-DC topology has been proposed that can be extended to achieve higher voltage conversion ratios. Due to utilization of only one switch, there are only two modes of operation and only one gate driver circuit is required. These properties lead to simple control and low volume and expense of proposed topology. The suggested configuration has higher gain per number of devices in comparison with other similar structures, which can lead to reduced expense, volume and weight of converter. Also, the continuous input current of suggested configuration candidates it for Photo Voltaic (PV) applications, where the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is essential. Modularity and low blocking voltage on switches/diodes are another advantages of proposed topology. The suggested topology has been compared with recently presented novel structures and simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC. The comparison and simulation results prove the correct operation and suitability of suggested configuration.

Organizing and presenting necessary information to electric power workforces just-in-time is a challenging issue. Today Electric Power Industry (EPI) severely suffers from the lack of sufficient knowledge of young workforces at the field. Current offline paper-based training methods or voice call assistants rarely able to help these workforces in a disaster situation. Recently industrial Augmented Reality (AR) tools open new insight for remote assistance through virtualizing necessary information on the real environment. That is, using AR tools, field workforces can observe required information just-in-time and in-location in front of their eyes. Here, one question is how AR technology will change the EPI. To answer this question and shape the power stakeholders' viewpoint in the adaption of industrial AR, we precisely review the potential use cases and case studies of pragmatic industrial AR in the EPI in this paper. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is one of the first comprehensive studies of AR opportunities in the EPI. Studies in this paper show that AR applications in the EPI is in the infancy stage and needs remarkable consideration to develop AR tools in accordance with the electric power requirements.

Renewable energy resources could be integrated with other combined heat and power (CHP) systems in remote areas. For PV/T panels as a renewable CHP, energy storage systems such as fuel cell are necessary. In this study, optimal sizing of hybrid PV/T-fuel cell is developed. A heuristic optimization algorithm is used and, the simulation results are presented for two case studies. It is shown that using PV/T as CHP system total cost is reduced as compared with separated heat and power. Also, hybrid PV/T-fuel cell results in total cost reduction due to capability of fuel cell to store electrical and heat energy.

This article deals with a regulation method of switching frequency in voltage source converters based on finite set-predictive control. The proposed method directly influences on the main performances such as power losses reduction and improvement of power quality (i.e. THD). In the regulation method a modifying term, representing elapsed time, is added to a cost function that is multiplied by a weighting factor. By proper determination of this weighting factor, the switching frequency could be changed to determined pattern. The proposed method is simple and does not affect controller response time, and operate properly during all operating points. The results show that it can improve THD index under a certain point, or maintain the switching frequency in a certain bound.

Sometimes renewable energy resources (RERs), energy storage systems (ESSs), and responsive loads are applied to reduce the generated power of fossil fuel distributed generators (DGs) which are costly and produce environmental pollutants. Therefore, the optimized microgrid planning is necessary for minimizing the cost and pollution caused by DGs. It also helps in optimizing the use of RERs and ESSs along with the implementation of demand response programs (DRPs). To minimize cost and pollution in the microgrid simultaneously, the multi-objective optimization is used. The problem is a non-convex and nonlinear optimization problem, which needs to be linearized. A linearization method is presented to transform the nonlinear model to a linear one. The problem can be solved by the mixed-integer linear programming (MIP) formulation. During peak hours, the amount of spinning reserve and consequently the reliability of the system decreases. In the following, using time-based and incentive-based DRP, the amount of load consumption in the peak hours decreases with the help of load shifting, or peak shaving incentives. This will increase spinning reserve and reduce the loss in peak hours, which results in reliability increase.

The present paper proposes a novel approach to solve strategic expansion problems between generation and transmission companies when it considers security constraints of power network such as transient stability and voltage stability of the system. Generally, in previous studies, generation expansion planning (GEP) and transmission expansion planning (TEP) are solved in a restructuring environment of power market without considering the security constraint of the power system. Hence, the proposed approach definites voltage stability index and security stability index as a security constraint of the system at the first step. Afterward, an objective function for GEP and TEP problem is formulated considering the security constraints. Eventually, the objective function is optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm and the optimum expansion planning of generation and transmission are determined. Several case studies have been carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed spruce. The results clearly demonstrate that the proposed method solve GEP and TEP problem when it considers economic and security objectives in a competitive electricity market.

In this paper, the consensus of multi-agent systems consist of chaotic permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) has been studied. It is assumed that external disturbances affect the PMSMs, so a robust protocol based on dynamic sliding mode control has been proposed that ensures consensus of multi-agent systems and the stability is investigated by Lyapunov theory. Then an extended state observer (ESO) is proposed to estimate the upper bounds of disturbances which cause a more accurate response in sliding mode control. In the end, simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Under normal working conditions, the stator flux of doubly-fed induction generators only includes the forced component; thus, controllers are mainly designed in accordance to this component. During fault conditions, in addition to this component, the zero sequence component appears. Under this new condition, the conventional control strategies cannot control the DFIG properly. So, the induced voltage in the rotor windings increases, which leads to the rotor current overshoot, overvoltage of DC link and mechanical stress caused by electromagnetic torque oscillations. In this article, a new control strategy is presented that fulfills low voltage ride through requirements by using virtual flux based on demagnetizing current. This method can improve the transient response of the stator flux during symmetric and asymmetric faults by creating a demagnetizing current to meet the grid code requirements. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified by the simulation results for a 1.5 MW wind turbine in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the results have been discussed and analyzed in the last section of the article to show the proficiency of the proposed method.

Due to the variability of wind energy and its inaccessibility in vitro condition, the use of Wind Turbine Simulator (WTS) is essential for research and development in the field of wind systems. With the assistance of WTSs, the performance of wind energy conversion systems can be investigated under different circumstances without the need for ambient conditions for each wind turbine. This paper is part of a research project to design and fabricate a grid-connected 3 kW WTS which is coupled to an Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (AFPMSG); intending to model, design and fabricate a wind energy conversion into a mechanical torque simulator based on real-time power electronics converters. The interface system of wind energy conversion to mechanical torque includes the data collection system, the calculation of the corresponding reference values for the three-phase inverter, the induction motor (IM) drive system (three-phase inverter), and the IM with the step-down gearbox. The purpose of this part is to generate power and speed in the rotor shaft of the IM equivalent with that of the real wind turbine rotor. As a result, the performance of the wind turbine is reasonably replicated by the IM, the drive system, and the developed software.
