Connection of distributed generation (DG) units, energy storages, and new loads into low voltage (LV) grids leads to a constrained operation of the grids. Consequently, voltage limits violation and overloading of grid assets occur more frequently. To tackle these issues, distribution system operators (DSO) still employ traditional techniques in planning distribution grids to increase grid hosti...

This paper presents a linear direct–quadrature current control strategy for voltage source converters (VSCs) in a rotating reference frame (RRF). The described method is based on multivariable-proportional–integral (PI) regulators and provides fast dynamics and a zero steady-state error. Contrary to the well-known conventional PI-based control strategies in RRFs, the presented method provides p...

This paper presents the Synchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRF) based Phase Locked Loop (PLL) to enhance the performance of Dynamic Voltage Controller (DVR). In a grid connected power conversion system, a critical component is the Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that generates the grid voltage’s frequency and phase angle for the grid synchronization. For grid voltage control, accurate and fast respond...

In this paper, a novel and simple control strategy, based on state feedback method is suggested to control the power injection system (PIS). The considered PIS is composed of, a DC voltage source, a voltage source inverter (VSI) and a L-C-L filter. The DC source includes the battery source with boosted voltage. The battery can be charged with photovoltaic cells. Since, the grid voltage acts as ...

This paper attempts to improve the computational efficiency of the well known particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for tackling discrete sizing optimization problems of steel frame structures. It is generally known that, in structural design optimization applications, PSO entails enormously time-consuming structural analyses to locate an optimum solution. Hence, in the present study it i...

this paper is a continuation of [uniformities and covering properties for partial frames (i)], in which we make use of the notion of a partial frame, which is a meet-semilattice in which certain designated subsets are required to have joins, and finite meets distribute over these. after presenting there our axiomatization of partial frames, which we call $sels$-frames, we added structure, in th...

This paper presents a novel stationary frame selective harmonic extraction strategy. Compared with the widely used methods based on the instantaneous power theory, it only needs one matrix transformation, which significantly reduces the computational burden. Time-domain simulation in the MATLAB/Simulink and experimental results based on the 32-bit fixed-point TMS320F2812 DSP platforms verify th...

For the shortcoming that the PI controller parameters can’t been dynamic tuning in constant voltage control system of doubly-fed wind turbines, a PI controller parameters dynamic tuning strategy based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is presented. This strategy makes the two parameters in PI controller as the ant of the ant colony, the controlled absolute error integral function t...
