In this paper, a multi-area Automatic Generation Control (AGC) scheme with Renewable Energy Sources (RES) suitable in a restructured interconnected power system has been proposed. Photo-voltaic and wind turbine generating system has been integrated with the grid. The developed scheme has been investigated for frequency control with and without RES units. A PID controller has been used to contro...

This paper presents the design of an autonomous smart patient/home health monitoring system. Both patient physiological parameters as well as room conditions are being monitored continuously to insure patient safety. The sensors are connected on an IoT regime, where the collected data is wirelessly transferred to a nearby gateway which performs preliminary data analysis, commonly referred to as...

This paper considers a case study of a smart grid-connected home in Australia that has solar photo-voltaic panels for distributed electricity generation and batteries for local energy storage. With a focus on Web of Things (WoT), this paper explores a strategy to facilitate management of electrical energy in the context of the emerging smart grid ideas that are consistent with sustainability pr...

Abstract:This paper presents the planning of an optimal Energy Management System (EMS) supported by a fuzzy logic Controller (FLC) for a residential grid-connected micro grid with hybrid renewable generation (Wind & Photo Voltaic) and storage system. Modelling hybrid system includes Renewable Energy Sources given at intermittent supply conditions and dynamic energy demand, and to make conceptua...

This paper presents a novel ultra-low power maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique with a wide tracking range. An indirect, non-interrupting and approach using a novel timing-based tracking algorithm is proposed. This reduces processing current consumption down to 3.4-μA. Moreover, the proposed tracking method is self-adaptive to various types of photo-voltaic cells and thermo-electric g...

The detailed study of electrical power systems is a key element of many curricula in Industrial Technology. A novel laboratory set-up has been designed and implemented at the University of Northern Iowa as an instructional resource for teaching electrical power system and renewable energy concepts. The set-up consists of a photo-voltaic solar-cell array, a mast mounted wind generator, lead-acid...

In recent days, emphasis is laid on improving the efficiency and applicability of the inverters that are currently used in photovoltaic systems so that a pure sinusoidal waveform is obtained which can be directly used for a number of applications. This paper presents the design and development of a Quasi Impedance Source Inverter (QZSI) whose apex application is with the Photo voltaic power con...

The expeditious expansion in the use of inexhaustible recurrent energy resources like Wind turbines and PV cells, in the distribution network has evaluated the need for having rigorous and adequate method of dealing uncertainties correlated with these technologies. In this project the unsymmetrical two point estimate method (US2PEM) is used to approach uncertainties of renewable energy resource...
