Nowadays, extensive research has been conducted for gas turbine engines control due to growing importance of gas turbine engines for different industries and the need to design a suitable control system for a gas turbine as the heart of the industry. In order to design gas turbine control system, various control variables can be used, but in the meantime, fuel flow inserting into combustion cha...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are used in a wide range of applications due to their high efficiency and high power density. In this paper, sensorless four-switch direct power control (DPC) method with the sector to sector commutations ripple minimization for BLDC motor control is proposed. The main features of the proposed DPC method are: (1) fast dynamic response (2) easy implementation (3) use o...

In this paper, a robust local controller has been designed to balance the power for distributed energy resources (DERs) in an islanded microgrid. Three different DER types are considered in this study; photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage systems, and synchronous generators. Since DER dynamics are nonlinear and uncertain, which may destabilize the power system or decrease the performanc...

Renewable energy provides twenty percent of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It is a renewable source of energy and provides almost one-fifth of electricity in the world. Also, it generates electricity using a renewable natural resource and accounting for six percent of worldwide energy supply or about fifteen percent of th...

The ever increase of nonlinear loads in electric distribution networks causes many problems due to the high level of harmonic currents. This paper proposes a new technique for controlling a single phase shunt active power filter based on a selective compensation using the newly developed technique of harmonic control arrays. Simulation results confirm the appropriate selective harmonic compensa...

Accord to the theory of micro-step control, this study is about a design of a four-phase switched reluctance motor based on DSP-driven control system. Firstly, the study is about the design of the hardware circuit, such as the power inverter and its drive, current detection, position detection and the system power supply. And then to build a switched reluctance motor control system, TMS320L2812...

1. Introduction. In wireless communication, it is common that multiple users share the same radio spectrum simultaneously. Signal of one channel appears then as noise to the other channels. Hence, users transmitting power at power levels above than what is necessary to maintain a given level of signal-to-noise quality are not only wasteful of their battery power, they also cause unnecessary noi...

In this article, the sliding mode control of frequency load control of power systems is studied. The study areaconsists of a system of water and heat. First, a mathematical model of the proposed system disturbances ismade and then sliding control mode for frequency load control is provided. By the system simulation andsliding mode control, it can be shown that the damping of oscillations is wel...

This paper proposes the virtual flux based direct power control for Vienna rectifier. No need for the input voltage sensors, the current regulation loop and PWM voltage modulation block along with the active and reactive power decoupling are some of the salient advantages of this method that make it suitable for controlling the conventional active rectifiers. However, due to the three-level nat...
