One of the most challenging topics in electric railway networks (ERNs) is power quality (PQ) problems caused by single-phase feeding of time-varying and high-power locomotives. During previous years, many techniques and compensators have been offered to alleviate these problems. Railway active power quality controller (RAPQC) is considered as one of the most efficient approaches. Due to the time-variant, uncertainty and distorted features of ERNs, the controlling of RAPQCs has always been a substantial concern to experts. This paper presents, a new robust control system for two-phase three-wire RAPQC (ThRAPQC) based on generalized model predictive control integrated with modified instantaneous reactive power theory (GMPC-MIRP). A dual-loop balancing system has been adopted in the proposed control system to equalize the active powers of traction power substation (TPSS) adjacent feeders, compensate reactive powers and suppress harmonic simultaneously. The performance of the proposed method in comparison with the conventional Fryze-Buchholz-Depenbrock (FBD)-based current strategy together with hysteresis current controller (FBD-HCC) has been evaluated through the detailed simulations and Opal-RT 5600-based laboratory setup results. The fast response, high precision, lower fluctuation in reference current tracking and high capability of working in distorted conditions are the outstanding privileges of the proposed method that are confirmed by the output results.

This paper presents the use of a three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter to improve the power quality in the Department of Industrial Electronics of a large enterprise from Romania. The specificity is given by the predominant existence of single-phase consumers (such as personal computers, printers, lighting and AC equipment). In order to identify the power quality indicators and ways to improve them, an A-class analyzer was used to record the electrical quantities and energy parameters in the point of common coupling (PCC) with the nonlinear loads for 27 h. The analysis shows that, in order to improve the power quality in PCC, three goals must be achieved: the compensation of the distortion power, the compensation of the reactive power and the compensation of the load unbalance. By using the conceived three-leg shunt active power filter, controlled through the indirect current control method in an original variant, the power quality at the supply side is very much improved. In the proposed control algorithm, the prescribed active current is obtained as a sum of the loss current provided by the DC voltage and the equivalent active current of the unbalanced load. The performance associated with each objective of the compensation is presented and analyzed. The results show that all the power quality indicators meet the specific standards and regulations and prove the validity of the proposed solution.

A coagulation process for water purification plants mainly uses feedforward control based on raw water quality and empirical data and requires operator's help. We developed a new floc sensor for measuring floc size in a flush mixer to be used for floc control. A control system using model predictive control was developed on the floc size data. A series of experiments was performed to confirm controllability of settled water quality by controlling flush mixer floc size. An automatic control with feedback from the coagulation process was evaluated as practical and reliable. Finally this new control method was applied for actual plant and evaluated as practical.

For the volatility and intermittency of intermittent new energy like wind power, traditional dispatch model and technology are severely challenged. According to the characteristics that the prediction accuracy of wind power increases as time scale increases, this paper presents a multi-time scale active power dispatch model based on the traditional dispatch model, and proposes an active power dispatch hierarchical predicting control method on the base of model predictive control and multilevel hierarchical control during industrial control course. Finally, it gets the online rolling dispatch model and strategy for the access of intermittent energy.
