Half Cycle Discrete Transformation for Voltage Sag Improvement in an Islanded Microgrid using Dynamic Voltage Restorer

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i1.pp25-32
N.S. Srivatchan , P. Rangarajan
Growing demand for clean and green power has increased penetration of renewable energy sources into microgrid. Based on the demand supply, microgrid can be operated in grid connected mode and islanded mode. Intermittent nature of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind has lead to number of control challenges in both modes of operation. Especially islanded microgrid throws power quality issues such as sag, swell, harmonics and flicker. Since medical equipments, semiconductor factory automations are very sensitive to voltage variations and therefore voltage sag in an islanded microgrid is of key significance. This paper proposes a half cycle discrete transformation (HCDT) technique for fast detection of voltage sag in an islanded microgrid and thereby provides fast control action using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) to safe guard the voltage sensitive equipments in an islanded microgrid.  The detailed analysis of simulation results has clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of proposed method detects the voltage sag in 0.04 sec and there by improves the voltage profile of islanded microgrid.

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i1.pp397-405
M. Nandana Jyothi , P.V. Ramana Rao
This paper proposes a Wavelet based Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (WANFIS) applied to forecast the wind power and enhance the accuracy of one step ahead with a 10 minutes resolution of real time data collected from a wind farm in North India. The proposed method consists two cases. In the first case all the inputs of wind series and output of wind power decomposition coefficients are carried out to predict the wind power. In the second case all the inputs of wind series decomposition coefficients are carried out to get wind power prediction. The performance of proposed WANFIS is compared to Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) and the results of the proposed model are shown superior to compared methods.

A Fusion Based Visibility Enhancement of Single Underwater Hazy Image

10.11591/ijaas.v7.i1.pp38-45
Samarth Borkar , Sanjiv V. Bonde
Underwater images are prone to contrast loss, limited visibility, and undesirable color cast. For underwater computer vision and pattern recognition algorithms, these images need to be pre-processed. We have addressed a novel solution to this problem by proposing fully automated underwater image dehazing using multimodal DWT fusion. Inputs for the combinational image fusion scheme are derived from Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for contrast enhancement in HSV color space and color constancy using Shades of Gray algorithm respectively. To appraise the work conducted, the visual and quantitative analysis is performed. The restored images demonstrate improved contrast and effective enhancement in overall image quality and visibility. The proposed algorithm performs on par with the recent underwater dehazing techniques.

10.11591/ijaas.v7.i1.pp1-6
Yasin Yousif Al-Alaboosi , Jenan Abdulkhalq Al-Aboosi
Efficient underwater acoustic communication and target locating systems require detailed study of acoustic wave propagation in the sea. Many investigators have studied the absorption of acoustic waves in ocean water and formulated empirical equations such as Thorp’s formula, Schulkin and Marsh model and Fisher and Simmons formula. The Fisher and Simmons formula found the effect associated with the relaxation of boric acid on absorption and provided a more detailed form of absorption coefficient which varies with frequency. However, no simulation model has made for the underwater acoustic propagation using these models. This paper reports the comparative study of acoustic wave absorption carried out by means of modeling in MATLAB. The results of simulation have been evaluated using measured data collected at Desaru beach on the eastern shore of Johor in Malaysia. The model has been used to determine sound absorption for given values of depth (D), salinity (S), temperature (T), pH, and acoustic wave transmitter frequency (f). From the results a suitable range, depth and frequency can be found to obtain best propagation link with low absorption loss.

Integration of Reversing Voltage Multilevel Inverter Topology with High Voltage Gain boost Converter for Distributed Generation

10.11591/ijpeds.v9.i1.pp210-219
S. Nagaraja Rao , D. V. Ashok Kumar , Ch. Sai Babu
The conventional energy sources available to us are on the verge of depletion. This depletion of conventional energy source leads to concentrate more on alternative energy sources. In this research, the focus is on the role of renewable energy sources (RES) in electrical power generation. Even though, the RES based plants produce power, we cannot directly connect it to the grid or loads. Because, the voltage ratings and nature supply of RES plants would not match with the load. Hence, this is a major issue for connecting RES plants to load or other utility. The power electronic converters are extensively being used as a link between load and supply. As most of the renewable energy power generation is DC in nature, the DC-DC converter is used to increase the voltage level and this DC must be converted to AC for grid connection. Therefore, inverters are used for DC to AC conversion. In this paper, the DC supply of renewable energy is connected to load by using cascade DC-DC converters along with a proposed reversing voltage (RV) multilevel inverter (MLI). The first DC-DC converter is used to enhance the voltage level with high gain and second converter is used to split the DC supply for inverter convenience. In this paper, proposed RV symmetrical and asymmetrical MLI generates 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 levels with only ten power switches. In-phase level-shifted triangular carrier type sine pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is employed to trigger the commutating switches of proposed RV MLI. Switches of H-Bridge for reverse voltage appearance across the load are triggered by simple pulse generator. The circuits are modeled and simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK software. Results are presented and discussed.

10.11591/ijaas.v7.i1.pp46-53
B. Rampriya
This paper presents the solution for the supplier’s profit maximization problem with unit commitment decisions participating in single side auction markets of a deregulated power system. The bids from market participants are received by a central pool mechanism and the Market Clearing Price (MCP) for energy and spinning reserve is fixed. The bid quantities are optimized using Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. The supplier aims to achieve (more) profit than that of the rival’s participating in the competition. A GENCO with 6-unit participating in 24-hour day ahead energy and spinning reserve market is used to illustrate the methodology. The bidding parameters of rival’s participating in the competition are calculated by multi-variant Probability Density Functions (PDF). The results of the proposed methodology are compared with Refined Genetic Algorithm (RGA). Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the method in solving the supplier profit maximization problem.

Kandasamy K.V , Sarat Kumar Sahoo
This paper presents harmonic analysis of matrix converter using different control technique for balance and Unbalance three phase input voltage of reactive load. Since Matrix converter is subject to affected either by external disturbance or by load conditions. Due to this the supply voltage becomes unbalance. This cause improper switching of matrix converter results higher harmonics. This harmonics are harmful to the quality of the output power. The switching sequence of the matrix converter is controlled by vector control method. Different control technique is proposed in this paper to get optimized result with reduced harmonic for unbalanced and balance input voltage using PID, Fractional Order PID (PIλDδ) controller (FOPID), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)FOPID. PID control technique result are compared with other optimization technique for best optimum output. The FOPID controller is used to compensates the current and also improvise the quality of energy by reducing the harmonic content. The simulations and hardware results will be presented and interpreted. The effectivess of the proposed system is proven with the results is shown in this paper which produce a better steady state lesser transient rather than the conventional PID method.
