The correlation between energy costs and the country's economic competitiveness is an unquestionable reality also responsible for the improvement of the population's life conditions. In the past Cape Verdean electric power system (EPS), expansion was based on fossil-fuel power plants, nowadays it shifted to renewable energy (RE) which is abundant in the Cape Verde archipelago. However, no reduction in the electricity tariffs occurred, due to renewable curtailment and other pendent questions related to power transmission losses in the EPS. This paper presents an approach, that supports an implementation of a distributed electric energy storage system (ESS) on the Sal Island of Cape Verde archipelago, as a solution to increase the RE integration and power Transmission congestion relief. Thus, a power flow optimization is only achievable by storing excess RE as near as possible to consumption buses that can reduce overall transmission losses. The most advantageous allocation of ESSs along the EPS buses is combinational which faces a maximization of transmission loss reduction and minimization of ESS investment capital. The proposed tool to manage the “trade-off” between cost and avoided losses, is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) that is broadly applied to multi-objective problems like this.

This paper presents three-proposed schemes to mitigate the effect of unsymmetrical voltage sag fault on a wind-driven grid-connected Double Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). The first tested scheme comprises a static compensator (STATCOM) connected to the DFIG stator, while a three-phase parallel RL external impedance is connected to the rotor circuit in the second scheme. The STATCOM and the added rotor impedance are connected simultaneously in the third scheme. The effect of applying the three schemes on the responses of the stator and rotor voltages and currents, the dc-link voltage and current, the electrical torque, and the rotor speed during an unsymmetrical voltage sag are presented and compared at sub-and super-synchronous speeds. All systems were emulated, implemented, and tested through an OPAL RT-4510 Digital Real-Time Simulator (DRTS) in a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) application. The internal Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chip assisted in using this platform as a Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) for virtual mitigation control and testing. The Matlab/ Simulink RT-lab software packages combination helped in the RT development environment. All real-time waveforms of parameters for the proposed scenarios were monitored through the HIL-controller and data acquisition interface and then compared with the simulated results. The results reveal that the simulation waveforms and the real time waveforms are congruent. Results prove the better performance of the DFIG during unsymmetrical voltage sag for sub-synchronous speed when applying both protection schemes, while best results are obtained when using only the rotor impedance at super-synchronous speed operation of the DFIG.

Changing the position of the capacitor from the output to the position between the positive output and input connectors, leads to an interesting modification of the traditional Boost converter. The inrush current, when the converter is applied to a stable voltage source e.g. batteries in cars or a battery-buffered DC micro-grid, is suppressed, and the voltage stress across the capacitor is reduced. To reduce the switching losses and to reduce the disturbances caused by fast voltage rise- and fall-times, a zero voltage switching (ZVS) concept is applied and explained step by step and some interesting aspects of the converter are shown. All explanations are supported by calculations and simulations done with LTSpice.

The RNSIC-1 (rectifier with near sinusoidal input currents converter), is the foundation of a wind generator system that is presented. The three inductances that make up a traditional RNSIC–1 converter are eliminated in the proposed arrangement, and the SCIG generator's leakage inductances fill their place. This is what makes it new. The wind system's role in the load currents is discussed. Lower power losses, smaller harmonic input currents, fewer EMI issues, excellent dependability, and cheaper costs are characteristics of the new wind system. This new wind system could be used for partial variable speed wind turbines (usually 70% to 100% synchronous speed) and lower hydro connector squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG).

Power quality (PQ) improvement using active power filters (APF) is a topic of growing interest. APFs are effective in reducing harmonic distortion and improving power factor. They can be used in a variety of applications to improve the performance and reliability of electrical equipment. To address concerns with PQ improvement, this study offers an application of shunt APF in an industrial zone smart grid. the non-linear loads and unpredictable harmonics produced by on-grid PV inverters that represent the architecture of an industrial smart grid. Utilizing the MATLAB/SIMULINK software suite, a detailed design of the APF and associated hysteresis current control technique is provided. The findings demonstrate that APF is a useful tool for reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) and has a quick dynamic reaction to control grid voltage and power factor.

This paper discusses distributed generation (DG) in electric power systems. Various popular DG technologies that are currently used are also described, along with brief explanations of their working principles. It has been acknowledged that the integration of DG with renewable energy sources in power systems is increasing and will grow further. The main reason for this growth is the rising cost and environmental concerns of non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels). Furthermore, DG offers some advantages, such as reducing power losses in transmission and distribution lines and improving power supply security. However, the increasing DG penetration brings technical implications for the power system to which the DG is connected. These critical issues are also highlighted in the present paper.

Massive electric power distribution over long distances with consequential Power Quality (PQ) challenges such as voltage sags and power losses are some of the significant attributes of a Radial Distribution Network (RDN). Deployment of Power Angle Regulated (PAR) based Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) in a distribution network is also securing attraction because of the latest recorded achievements and improvements in Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) built power electronic systems. However, optimal allocation of this kind of device to mitigate PQ problems remains a challenge for achieving set objectives. Consequently, this study considers the best possible allocation of PAR and Improved-UPQC know as I-UPQC in the distribution network to enhance power network performance. The identification of optimal location is achieved through the application of hybridization of the Genetic Algorithm and Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (GA & IPSO). The deterministic approach is based on the weight factor of various objective functions. The allocation is attained with a selection of reactive power control between inverter connected in parallel and series and control angle variables of the device through its dynamic involvement of total system loss derivatives. Performances of the I-UPQC based distribution system during diverse power transfers are observed. Convergence characteristic of deterministic approach at different disturbance percentages is analyzed and presented. Imaginary power circulation enhanced the voltage-associated challenges at the range of 0.949 to 0.9977. Hence, power dissipation minimized to 1.15 percent compared to the initial 3.35 percent, according to results of I-UPQC allocation in RDN utilizing mathematical and optimization technique. Additionally, the network losses, voltage dip, and minimum bus voltage profile all fall within the regulatory standards of less than 2%, 5%, and 5%, correspondingly. Also, the performance of the compensated network for both ordinary and optimized scenarios indicated the fitness of the projected method in accomplishing an operational optimization of RDN, specifically for voltage profile (VP) improvement and I-UPQC's series and shunt inverter share imaginary power.

The changing position and nature of the sun due to changes in ambient temperature and irradiance level throughout the day is the main difficulty with photovoltaic (PV) systems. This leads to fluctuations in power levels. Therefore, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under these conditions is the main challenge. This paper proposes a new approach for directly operating at the maximum power point (MPP) at any value of solar irradiation and cell temperature without applying further mathematical processing to operate at that point. This technique is applied to a PV system containing a high-static-gain modified single-ended primary coil MSEPIC converter, which is characterized by high efficiency and high gain voltage. The performance of this converter is obtained with respect to load and output voltage variation under different climatic conditions in Hebron, Palestine. Solar panel type LG450N2W-E6 is selected as the PV generator in this system with 450 W at 41.1 V at MPP. The proposed model is analyzed and simulated in Matlab/Simulink, and m-file code.

Latterly, reduction of power loss in the distribution system is the objective of many researches due to its impact on total costs and voltage profiles. It can be handled by an optimal restructure of the Radial Distribution System (RDS). This article introduces an innovative approach to restructure of RDS by electing the optimal switches combination subject to the system operating constraints, which is Improved Whale Optimization Approach (IWOA). The suggested approach combines exploitation of WOA with exploration of Differential Evolution (DE), and thus it supplies a promising candidate solution. The suggested approach is tested on IEEE 33 and 69 bus RDS. The superiority of the suggested approach compared with other well-known approaches is verified through simulation results by examining total losses, cost and saving. Also, the impact of alterable loading is investigated to prove the effectiveness of the suggested IWOA.
