This study illustrates the Electrically Assisted power Steering (EAS) using BLDC motor for a vehicle. Earlier the Electrically Assisted power Steering (EAS) was implemented with DSP. This study shows the usage of a dsPIC to control the BLDC motor with an encoder. The BLDC motor here is driven by dsPIC through a three phase inverter system. IRAMS type of inverter is used which is cost efficient ...

In this paper, a Volt/Var control strategy in distribution networks with high PV penetration considering inverter thermal model is presented. This strategy considers a central distribution control to schedule active power and reactive power to deal with solar power generation intermittency. The objective is to provide voltage regulation control while solving for optimal power flow to minimize b...

In this paper, a grid connected microgrid with multiple inverter-based distributed generators (DGs) is considered. DG in FFC mode regulates the microgrid as a controllable load from the utility point of view as long as its output is within the capacity limit. The transition mode causes a change in frequency of microgrid due to the loss of power transferred between main grid and microgrid. Frequ...

In this paper we are modelling a solar based non-conventional energy generation system using MATLAB software . A grid-connected solar cell (PV) system with the functionality of harmonic compensation is introduced in this thesis. Based on this, a test bed is built up to validate the practicability of the proposed scheme. Increasing interest and investment in renewable energy give rise to rapid d...

ABSTRACT The main focus of this paper is to control the active power supplied by distributed generation (DG) system while compensating harmonics and reactive currents caused by the nonlinear loads using shunt active power filter (APF). The APF control is based on load currents sensing for reference current estimation in a-b-c reference frame. In order to get the grid currents sinusoidal and in-...

Abstract: A stand-alone multi-microgrid (MMG) system can be formed by connecting multiple stand-alone microgrids (MGs). In the stand-alone MMG system where the frequencies of each MG system are different, a back-to-back (BTB) converter can be used for interconnecting the adjacent MG system. The frequency control performance of the MMG system can be improved by designing the suitable controller ...
