<p>The increasing integration of decentralized production from renewable energies on the electricity grids should contribute to improving the stability and quality of the energy produced. The main objective of this work is to prove how renewable energy sources can improve the quality of electrical energy in the grid. In particular, controlled by the oriented flux technique, a double - feed induction generator DFIG driven by a wind turbine is together used to produce active power to the electrical network and to compensate the currentharmonics generated by a non - linear load, which leads to improve the supplied energy quality. The Active filtering function consists first of all in identifying the current harmonics using the theory of instantaneous active and reactive powers quality (PQ). Then, the closed loop based on the fast terminal sliding mode control (FTSMC) control allows both the generator to follow the optimal operating point of the wind turbine and to compensate for the current harmonics. The analysis and simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink confirm the effectiveness and the limits of the proposed methods and also show the performances of the law control which provides flexibility, high precision and fast response.</p>

This paper proposes the two nonlinear controllers for variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) operating at below rated wind speed. The objective of the controller is to maximize the energy capture from the wind with reduced oscillation on the drive train. The conventional controllers such as aerodynamic torque feedforward (ATF) and indirect speed control (ISC) are adapted initially, which introduce more power loss, and the dynamic aspects of WT are not considered. In order to overcome the above drawbacks, modified nonlinear static state with feedback estimator (MNSSFE) and terminal sliding mode controller (TSMC) based on Modified Newton Raphson (MNR) wind speed estimator are proposed. The proposed controllers are simulated with nonlinear FAST (fatigue, aerodynamics, structures, and turbulence) WT dynamic simulation for different mean wind speeds at below rated wind speed. The frequency analysis of the drive train torque is done by taking the power spectral density (PSD) of low speed shaft torque. From the result, it is found that a trade-off is to be maintained between the transient load on the drive train and maximum power capture.

<p>The main objective of this paper is to continue the development of activities of basic and applied research related to wind energy and to develop methods of optimal control to improve the performance and production of electrical energy from wind. A new control technique of Double fed induction generator for wind turbine is undertaken through a robust approach tagged nonlinear sliding mode control (SMC) with exponential reaching law control (ERL). The SMC with ERL proves to be capable of reducing the system chattering phenomenon as well as accelerating the approaching process. A nonlinear case numerical simulation test is employed to verify the superior performance of the ERL method over traditional power rate reaching strategy.  Results obtained in Matlab/Simulink environment show that the SMC with ERL is more robust, prove excellent performance for the control unit by improving power quality and stability of wind turbine.</p>

<p>This document is a contribution to improve the quality of electrical energy in the distribution network.<br />In this article we will present a method that allows us to clean up in a very considerable way the electrical network of both harmonics and inter harmonics provoked, basically by the ultrafast switches used when controlling a PWM inverter supplying a three-phase asynchronous motor. We notice that this method can be generalized for other loads creating inter-harmonics.<br />This proposed method was simulated using the MATLAB/SIMULINK software and had given remarkable results (there is a considerable reduction in total harmonic distortion (THD) of source current from 29.52% to 0.82%)</p>

The ever increasing demand on the electrical energy has led to the diversification on the electrical energy generation technologies especially from the renewable energy sources like the wind and the solar PV. Micro-grids powered by distributed generators utilizing renewable energy sources are on the increase across the globe due to the natural abundance of the resources, the favorable government policies and the resources being environmentally friendly. However, since the electrical power distribution networks have always been passive networks, the connection of the distributed generations (DGs) into the network has associated several technical implications with distribution network protection and Over-Current Protective Devices (OCPDs) miss-coordination being one of the major issues. The need for a detailed assessment of the impacts of the wind turbine generation (WTGs) on the distribution networks operations has become critical. The penetration of the WTGs into a distribution network has great impacts on the short circuit current levels of the distribution network hence eventually affecting the OCPDs coordination time margins. The factors which contribute to these impacts are: The size of the WTG penetrating the distribution network, the location at which the WTG is connected on to the network and the Type of the WTG interfacing technology used. An important aspect of the WTGs impacts studies is to evaluate their short circuit current contribution into the distribution network under different fault conditions. The magnitudes of these short circuit currents, both the three phase and the single-line-to-ground (SLG) faults, are needed for sizing the various Over-Current Protective Devices (OCPDs) utilized in protecting the distribution network. The sizing of the OCPDs entails among other procedures coordinating them with both the upstream and the downstream OCPDs so that there is sufficient time margin between their Time Current Characteristic (TCC) curves. For Fuse-Fuse protection coordination, the ANSI/NEC rules stipulate that a minimum of 0.025seconds or more time margin should be maintained between the primary/downstream fuse and the secondary/upstream/back-up fuse. Due to the topological and operational differences between the different types of WTGs interfacing technologies, the electrical generators design industry has divided wind turbine generators into four different types labeled as Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV. This paper presents a detailed study of the impacts brought upon by integrating wind turbine generators on a conventional Fuse-Fuse protection coordination scheme. A conventional Fuse-Fuse protection coordination scheme was modeled in Electrical Transients Analysis Program (ETAP) software and WTG with different interfacing technologies connected. A study of the impacts brought by the integration of the WTGs on Fuse-Fuse Miss-coordination was performed. IEEE 13 Node Radial Distribution Test Feeder was used for the study.

In this study, a robust control strategy is suggested for industrial robotic manipulators. First, to minimize the effects of disturbances and dynamic uncertainties, while achieving faster response times and removing the singularity problem, a nonsingular fast terminal sliding function is proposed. Second, to achieve the proposed tracking trajectory and chattering phenomenon elimination, a robust control strategy is designed for the robotic manipulator based on the proposed sliding function and a continuous adaptive control law. Furthermore, the dynamical model of the robotic system is estimated by applying a radial basis function neural network. Thanks to those techniques, the proposed system can operate free of an exact robotic model. The suggested system provides high tracking accuracy, robustness, and fast response with minimal positional errors compared to other control strategies. Proof of the robustness and stability of the suggested system has been verified by the Lyapunov theory. In simulation analyses, the simulated results present the effectiveness of the suggested strategy for the joint position tracking control of a 3-degree of freedom (3-DOF) PUMA560 robot.

At the heart of a micro-grid that includes several sources of electrical energy, including renewable energy, there must be a base (reference) source that sets the voltage and frequency in the network. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing a basic voltage source of a micro-grid, which includes renewable energy sources. (Materials and methods) The article shows that the sources of electrical energy are different, but the main requirement for them is to be able to supply voltage to the electrical network at any time, there is a standard voltage scale in the network. For a micro-grid, which will include various sources of electrical energy with a total power of up to 25 kW, you can limit yourself to a voltage of 220 V and a single-phase electrical network. (Results and discussion) The article presents a block diagram; technical characteristics and electrical diagram of the inverter of a single-phase basic voltage source; a method for calculating the output filter of the inverter based on pulse-width modulation technology. (Conclusions) When using renewable energy sources in the micro-grid, it is necessary to take into account that there are periods of time in which they do not generate electrical energy and choose as the base one that will not have such moments, or you need to use a temporary electricity storage device. It is possible to use a chemical source or a battery of accumulators as a base source. When creating a micro-grid of alternating voltage, an inverter is added to these sources from constant voltage to alternating voltage. The article presents a block diagram of a base voltage source with an AC output reference voltage to create a micro grid with a power of up to 25 kW.
