Microgrids are nowadays used to produce electric energy with more efficiency and advantage. However, the use of microgrids presents some challenges. One of the main problems of the microgrids widely used in electrical power systems is the control of voltage, frequency and load sharing balance among inverter- based distributed generators (DGs) in islanded mode. Droop method performance degra...

The trans-admittance-mode (TAM) might act as a transforming bridge for voltage-mode to current-mode conversion. In this study a new low voltage operated electronically tunable TAM biquad filter structure realizing all the seven standard filtering functions namely; low-pass (LP), band-pass (BP), high-pass (HP), regular-notch (RN), low-pass-notch (LPN), high-pass-notch (HPN) and all-pass (AP) fro...

This paper studies theuncertain nonlinear dynamics of a MEMS optical switch addressing electrical, mechanical and optical subsystems. Recently, MEMS optical switch has had significant merits in reliability, control voltage requirements and power consumption. However, an inherent weakness in designing control for such systems is unavailability of switch position information at all times due to t...

damping of a full-scale cable with a pair of passive–on magnetorheological (mr) dampers was tested. a cable of 215.58m long with the first mode frequency of 0.658hz was tensioned horizontally in cable prefabrication factory. two mr dampers were attached to the cable in an angle in the plane perpendicularly to the cable axis in 5m length from the cable anchorage. the applied voltage level was 0v...

This paper proposes a new control strategy for single-phase voltage source inverters that does not rely on switching based Pulse Width Modulation. The technique is similar to conventional current hysteresis control, but instead of the output current, low-pass-filtered inverter utilised as feedback signal. Nevertheless, instants are determined by predefined band, rather low-cost Complex Programm...

This paper deals with conceptual study of unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) during voltage sag and swell on the power distribution network and researches profoundly on the coordinated control of UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner). By analyzing the radical reasons of coupling effect between UPQC series unit and shunt unit, a simple and practical coordinated control strategy for UPQC...

The effect of line impedance compensation mode of series inverter along with the voltage regulation mode of shunt inverter of UPFC is investigated for transient stability improvement of Single Machine Infinite Bus System. Four control modes like perpendicular voltage or phase angle control etc have also been discussed. The effect of line impedance mode on critical clearing time with a three pha...
