According to the theory of passivity-based control (PBC), this paper establishes a port-controlled Hamiltonian system with dissipation (PCHD) model for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) system under unbalanced grid voltage conditions and proposes a method of interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) of the system under such conditions. By using this method, ...

This paper presents a multi-objective control strategy for power quality issues. With increasing applications of nonlinear and semi-conductor devices in distribution systems and industries, power-quality (PQ) problems, such as harmonics, neutral current elimination, voltage sag, voltage swell reactive power has become an unavoidable issue. Due to the changing trends and restructuring of power s...

Power quality has become an important issue in distributed generation nowadays due to the ever increasing use of power electronics and sensitive load equipment. The addition of distributed generation can have a significant effect and increases the complexity of power quality problem. Recognition of power quality problems by analyzing the voltage and current waveform disturbances is a very impor...

In this investigation, three different swell systems known in pipe organs, the swell box, the crescendo wheel, and the historic wind swell were measured and compared to each other. The dynamic range of the crescendo wheel was found to be most effective, and for frequencies near 2 kHz the increase in sound pressure level could be up to 50 dB between the softest and the loudest adjustment. The ma...

Presence of swelling soils under the foundations of civil engineering structures particularly lightly loaded structures has caused serious damages around the globe due to their differential up heaving. In this paper, based on the results of swell tests on bentonite mixed clay, correlations for predicting the swelling parameters (i.e., swell potential and swell pressure) have been proposed. Mixi...

This paper presents features that characterize power quality disturbances from recorded voltage waveforms using wavelet transform. The concept of Discrete Wavelet Transform for feature extraction of power quality disturbance signals has been incorporated as a powerful tool for detecting and classifying power quality disturbances like Sag, Swell and Interruption and decomposed up to 4 levels usi...

Process control and energy conservation are the two primary reasons for using an adjustable speed drive. However, voltage sags are the most important power quality problems facing many commercial and industrial customers. The development of boost converters has raised much excitement and speculation throughout the electric industry. Now utilities are looking to these devices for performance imp...

Abstract: Three-phase two-level voltage source converters are used for distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) applications and can be replaced by a multilevel inverter. In this paper, an LCL filter interfaced cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter-based (CHBMLI) DSTATCOM is simulated and its performance is analyzed considering the system parameters. The analysis considers factors including t...

. In the power quality analysis non-stationary nature of voltage distortions require some precise and powerful analytical techniques. The time-frequency representation (TFR) provides a powerful method for identification of the non-stationary of the signals. This paper investigates a comparative study on two techniques for analysis and visualization of voltage distortions with time-varying ampli...
