Application of Sliding Mode Control Technique to Regulate DC/DC Boost Converters in Systems Exploiting Photovoltaic Power Generation
Get PDFThis paper introduces a new method, called IB-SMC method, to control DC/DC boost converters in systems exploiting photovoltaic power generation. This method combines the sliding mode control technique and iterative-bisectional technique in the maximum power point tracker to change operations modes of photovoltaic power generation. The IB-SMC controller uses voltage sliding surface to evaluate the relation of instantaneous voltage at the input converter and instantaneous voltage at the maximum power point. Using information about the power of electromagnetic radiation from a pyranometer and temperature from a temperature sensor, the sliding surface and hyteresis band are changed by practically operational conditions that help improving energy efficiency of the process exploiting PVg. Simulations are carried out by Matlab/Simulink that show the ability to ensure dynamic stability by tracking instaneous maximum power point at any time whenever having any change of the operational condition, static stability by maintaining the operation point at maximum power point whenever not have any change of the operational condition and help to bring out approximately absolute energy efficiency

An Intelligent Controller Design Approach for MIMO Coupled Tank System
Get PDFNowadays, versatilities of controllers have been developed to control the Coupled Tank System (CTS) such as proportional, integral, derivative (PID), fuzzy, fuzzy PID and neuro network. This paper focused on the control of the pump flow rate, in and out of the tank against the cross-sectional area of the CTS’s tank. The main objective of this paper is to design a CTS by using MATLAB since the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is widely utilized in the control of engineering applications in the industrial. Therefore, the FLC will be utilized to control and improve the performance of the CTS. The conventional PID controller will be applied, which reacts as a benchmark in the performance of the FLC. Parameters such as steady state error, settling time, and maximum overshoot will be part of the simulation results. As a result of the dynamic response executed in the closed-loop environment, it can be concluded that the FLC is capable of performing better than the conventional PID controller

Harmonic Analysis of Three-phase Fixed Capacitor–thyristor Controlled Reactor under Balanced and Unbalanced Conditions
Get PDFThree-phase Fixed Capacitor Thyristor Controlled Reactor is widely used for reactive power compensation in power systems because of reduced cost and high reliability. The problem with FC-TCR is that to generate current harmonics when it is partially conducting. When this harmonic current is interacted with system impedance, voltage waveform will distorted. This harmonic pollution is undesirable in power systems. Therefore, it is important to know the harmonic behaviour of three-phase FC-TCR before they can be used in a power system network. This paper presents the harmonic analysis of three-phase FC-TCR operating under balanced and unbalanced conditions. This analysis is useful to design the harmonic filter to reduce the harmonic pollution in power systems.The proposed work is implemented in MATLAB environment
Design of Robust Fractional-Order PID Controller for DC Motor Using the Adjustable Performance Weights in the Weighted-Mixed Sensitivity Problem
Get PDFThis paper deals with the robust series and parallel fractional-order PID synthesis controllers with the automatic selection of the adjustable performance weights, which are given in the weighted-mixed sensitivity problem. The significant contribution of the paper is to achieve the good trade-off between nominal performances and robust stability for DC motor regardless its nonlinear dynamic behavior, the unstructured model uncertainties and the effect of the sensor noises on the feedback control system. The main goal is formulated as the weighted-mixed sensitivity problem with unknown adjustable performance weight. This problem is then solved using an adequate optimization algorithm and its optimal solution leads to determine simultaneously the robust fractional PID controller, which is proposed by the series and the parallel fractional structures, As well as, the obtained optimal solution determines the corresponding adjustable performance weight. The proposed control technique is applied on DC motor where its dynamic behavior is modeled by unstructured multiplicative model uncertainty. The obtained performances are compared in frequency- and time-domains with those given by both integer controllers such classical PID and H∞ controllers

Design of Neuro-Fuzzy Controller for Stabilization of Single Phase Stand-Alone PV Power System
Get PDFFor the three phase power electronic and drive applications, vector control or the synchronous reference frame (SRF) based control concept is well accepted and settled amongst the research communities. Although the SRF concept has gained popularity and appreciation in developing the three phase controllers, still the concept has not reached the same level in case of a single phase system. The work presented in this paper is mainly concerned to the design of a hybrid Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic based controller for a single phase stand-alone photo-voltaic (PV) power system. The adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller proposed in this paper is chiefly meant for improving the transient and steady state responses; for minimizing the distorting effect of the low order load current harmonics encountered particularly in case of switching the drive based inductive loads and to help maintain the inverter output voltage constant under different loading circumstances. The result obtained through simulation work, shows the effectiveness of the proposed controller as compared with the previously established research works
