This thesis focuses on controller design and analysis for induction motor (IM) drives, flux control for electrically excited synchronous motors with damper windings (EESMs), and to enhance voltage sag ride-through ability and analysis for a wind turbine application with a full-power grid-connected active rectifier. The goal is to be able to use the existing equipment, without altering the hardw...

This paper presents a novel robust fractional PIλ controller design for flexible joint electrically driven robots. Because of using voltage control strategy, the proposed approach is free of problems arising from torque control strategy in the design and implementation. In fact, the motor's current includes the effects of nonlinearities and coupling in the robot manipulator. Therefore, cancella...

In general, reactive power compensation for power factor and stability of the supply system can be improved. The STATCOM (STATic synchronous Compensator) is being increasingly popular in power system applications. A small signal model of the STATCOM has been proposed without controlling DC link voltage. This scheme controls the phase angle as well as modulation index of the switching pattern. W...

Flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) controllers are important to enhance the quality of power in systems. The stability a is achieved via FACTS device (a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM)). This paper aims control losses during peak energy demand circumstances with minimal economical and functional efficiency system. STATCOM operation seven level voltage source conve...

Unified power quality conditioner is one of the advanced forms of power conditioning device, which is a combination of back to back connected series APF and shunt active power filter (SAPF) connected to a common DC link voltage. This topology will facilitates this device to have a reduced dc-link voltage without reducing its compensation capability. This device is mainly used in improving the p...

In this paper the two novel recurrent wavelet neural network (RWNN) controllers are proposed for controlling output direct current (DC) voltage of the rectifier and output alternate current (AC) voltage of the inverter. The output power of the rectifier and the inverter is provided by three-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) system directly-driven by permanent magnet synchronou...

unlike traditional power grids, smart grids have the advantage of bidirectional power flow and having distributed generations. distributed generation systems are usually supplied by renewable sources which can cause unpredicted voltage fluctuations as a result of being intermittent. while traditional compensating devices deal with the problem of voltage fluctuation and reduced power quality wit...
