<p>Now-a-days Renewable Energy Sources became an alternative to meet the increasing load demand because they are environmental friendly and also available abundant in nature. Among the Renewable Energy Sources, the Photo Voltaic (PV) System is gaining more attention due abundant availability of solar energy. The Maximum Power Point Tracking Technique is used to extract maximum power from the Photo Voltaic (PV) Array. When there is a need to transfer bulk amount of power from PV Array to Power Grid, the power quality issues, especially the real and reactive power flow problems, are a major concern. In this paper a novel control technique was proposed to control the power flow and to deal with power quality issues that arise when PV Array is integrated with power grid. It consists of a Fuzzy-GA based Cascaded Controller fed Flexible AC Transmission System device, namely Unified Power Flow Controller, for effective control of real and reactive power flow in grid connected photovoltaic system. The output of the Fuzzy Logic Controller is a control vector which is fine tuned by using Genetic Algorithm approach.</p>

Due to their flexibility, Electric Vehicles (EVs) constitute an important asset for the integration of renewable energy sources in the Smart Grid. In particular, they should have a dual role: as a controllable load and as a mobile generator with a low inertia. To perform these tasks, chargers must provide the electronics with a power flow from the grid to the vehicle and vice versa. This bidirectionality can also be implemented in wireless chargers. The power converters, the compensation networks and the coil misalignment must be considered when designing the control of these systems. This paper presents a review about the proposed algorithms to control the active and the reactive power flow in a bidirectional wireless charger.

Frequent blackouts and unstable supply of electricity show that the  voltage instability problem has been one of the major challenges facing the power system network in Nigeria. This study investigates the voltage stability analysis of the Nigerian power network in the presence of renewable energy sources; FACTS device is used as a voltage controller. A 330kV, 28-bus power system network was studied using the PSS/E software-based Newton-Raphson load-flow technique. The results show that 10 out of the 28 buses had voltages lying below the statutory limit of 0.95 ≤ 1.05 p.u. The application of STATCOM and DFIG devices on two of the weakest buses restored the voltages to acceptable statutory limits. The total active and reactive power losses were reduced to 18.76% and 18.82% respectively. Keywords: Voltage stability analysis; Integration of renewable energy sources; FACTS controllers, Reactive Power, Power Flow.

The exhaustive knowledge of optimal power flow (OPF) methods is critical for proper system operation and planning, since OPF methods are utilized for finding the optimal state of any system under system constraint conditions, such as loss minimization, reactive power limits, thermal limits of transmission lines, and reactive power optimization. Incorporating renewable energy sources optimized the power flow of system under different constraints. This work presents a comprehensive study of optimal power flows methods with conventional and renewable energy constraints. Additionally, this work presents a progress of optimal power flow solution from its beginning to its present form. Authors classify the optimal power flow methods under different constraints condition of conventional and renewable energy sources. The current and future applications of optimal power flow programs in smart system planning, operations, sensitivity calculation, and control are presented. This study will help the engineers and researchers to optimize power flow with conventional and renewable energy sources.

Now-a-days, power generation and utilization became more complicated which further affects the economy of a country. The available non-renewable energy sources that supply the demanded power do not consider environmental challenges like global warming and pollution. This leads to the development of power generation based on Renewable Energy Resources (RES). These RES are connected to the grid through power electronic converters which offer countless power quality issues that must be rectified to deliver a quality power to the end users. The proposed work uses a three phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) based Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) fed by solar Photo Voltaic (PV) system to eliminate current harmonics at the source side of the grid. The output of the PV system is given to a boost converter along with self–lift single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) for supplying high voltage gain which is accompanied by a Perturb &amp; Observe Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT).The main objective of this paper is to eliminate the current harmonics at the grid side using SAPF. Also, the proposed SAPF is used for exporting the power generated from PV to the grid. The overall system performance is validated with a help of MATLAB/SIMULINK.


The Rise in power demand with growing population across the world has led to the development of renewable energy sources. Amongst all the renewable energy sources PV power generation system proves to be more superior and efficient than other renewable sources. Recent innovations in transformerless inverters have proven to be efficient and reliable than conventional ones. The major difficulty in handling the transformerless inverter is the leakage currents, which is for the reason that parasitic capacitance is in between PV array and ground. This leakage current leads to several protection issues along with unstable CM voltages. Here the recommendedtransformerless inverter aimed at grid connected PV system has capability to reduce leakage currents. It also provides the required reactive power to the system to maintain constant CM voltage. To provide high quality current injection in to the grid, PR controller and fuzzy controller are used. In this study the detailed analysis of the operating modes of the H6 PV transformer less inverter system, investigation of the leakage currents and outcomesobtained in MATLAB simulation are to be presented.

A conquest for Science and also Technology and also the ever-growing planet of innovation trigger numerous innovations. Currently India demandingly picking to beat non-renewable fuel sources sparsity issues along with Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Renewable Energy Sources needs intricate innovations for the usage. Renewable resource resources and also modern technologies possess prospective to supply options to the enduring electricity troubles being actually experienced due to the establishing nations. The renewable resource resources like wind power, solar power, geothermal power, electricity, biomass electricity and also energy tissue innovation may be made use of to get over electricity lack in India. To overcome the power demand for such a fast-growing economic climate, India will certainly need an ensured source of 3- 4 times extra power than the overall power consumed today. This work reviews different control techniques and proposes a new control technique Optimal Recurrent Neural Networks (ORNN) based Controller to mitigate the power quality (PQ) disturbances of power system. In the proposed approach, optimal weight selection is employed for enhancing the learning procedure of RNN (ORNN). Here, ORNN technique is utilized for selecting the ideal control signal of grid inverter through optimal adjustments of the control variables in the power system.
