this paper presents a novel indirect adaptive power system stabilizer (pss) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. the synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids are of special interest for energization due to their flexibility, low infrastructure investments, reduced conversion losses, and reliability against failures on the utility grid. In these systems, global economic dispatch needs communication between AC DC subgrids achieve a near-optimal solution since incremental costs all generators need be equalized. Hence, this paper...

This letter deals with rotor position and speed estimation of permanent magnet ac drives. Two reduced-order observers, a linear (AO) and a nonlinear one (NLO), are compared. An adaptive speed estimation scheme is also considered. Analysis and simulations show that the NLO has better performance and demands less computational load than the AO plus the adaptive scheme.

Matrix converter is a single-stage converter which directly connects a three-phase voltage source to a three-phase load without dc-link components. Therefore, any harmonic distortion and imbalance in input voltage directly reflect to the output of the converter. Recently, many researchers have made an effort to cope with this problem. In this paper, under distorted input voltage conditions, beh...

Power electronic inverters are widely used in various industrial drive applications. To overcome the problems of the limited voltage and current ratings of power semiconductors devices, some kinds of series and/or parallel connections are necessary. Recently, the multilevel inverters have received more attention in literature due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with a better harmonic s...

A self-adaptive scheme is described for automatically tracking the temperature and saturationdependent rotor time constant (Tr ) in indirect vector control. This method is based on a monitoring signal injected into the process. A cross-correlation function between the monitoring signal and the speed error indicates the Tr changes in direction (increase or decrease) and magnitude. The proposed i...

This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) generation system for off-grid and on-grid operation and configuration. A fuel cell DG system consists of a fuel cell power plant, a DC/DC converter and a DC/AC inverter. The dynamic model for fuel cell array and its power electronic interfacing are presented also a multi-input single output (MISO) D...
