Due to limited conventional energy sources and to meet the increase of load demand there is a need for utilization of renewable energy sources. Among the all renewable energy sources wind energy is widely used and is highly sustainable as compared to other sources of energy. Many wind energy conversion devices working with doubly fed induction generators and synchronous generators and it is integrated to the grid produces the power quality issues like as voltage sags, swells, harmonics, voltage imbalance and short interruptions etc. Many power electronic based Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are designed to solve above problems and facilitate to meet the required power demand. In this paper, UPQC (Unified Power Quality Conditioner) and IUPQC (Improved Unified Power Quality Conditioner) models are designed to mitigate the above power quality issues. In this paper, mainly voltage sags, voltage swells and harmonics are considered as a power quality issues to analyze the UPQC and IUPQC devices. The conventional PID controller is employed in control circuit of both the devices. It also discusses the comparative analysis between UPQC and IUPQC devices. The MATLAB/SIMULINK Software is used for above analysis.

This paper proposes distributed generation-integrated unified power quality conditioner (UPQC-DG) with adaptive fuzzy proportional–integral (AFPI) controller to improve the power quality (PQ) of a distribution network. In the proposed system, the DG units are integrated at dc-link of the UPQC to provide additional functionalities. The additional functionalities which are unique to the proposed system is to (i) export the available active power from renewable energy sources to the grid, (ii) compensate long term PQ problems, (iii) compensate voltage interruption. Additionally, the dc-link voltage of the system is controlled by using the proposed AFPI controller to effectively improve the dynamic performance of the system during disturbances. Unlike conventional PI controller, in the proposed controller, the gains are not fixed. It is dynamically adjusted by the fuzzy logic-based intelligent supervisory control system according to system operating conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified using extensive simulation studies and necessary results are compared with the existing literature.

Wind Energy Systems

Sources of energy for conventional power generation are limited and depleting ceaselessly owing to rising demand of power because of the social modernization, rising industrial growth, quick rate of infrastructure development and also technological innovation. Several developed countries have started the employment of renewable energy sources considerably to attenuate the greenhouse gases effects within the atmosphere and harmful emission. The rising demand of the power without any harmful and damaging issue, forces the eye of researchers towards renewable sources (like wind and solar) of energy. Therefore, it's minimum impact on the atmosphere. Renewable Energy sources are becoming the key contributors in the present society due to the increasing cost of oil products and decrease in the price of RES. By using natural resources energy sources like Solar and wind are providing green energy. Renewable Energy penetration is increasing worldwide day by day. Renewable power generation will introduce noticeable power quality challenges when integrated to power grid. From the aspect of RES, renewable energy generation is intermittent and non-dispatchable because of varied nature of RES. The most common PQ challenges on RE integration are frequency and voltage fluctuations in the power system caused by noncontrollable atmospheric condition and Harmonics that are introduced because of power electronic converters used in RE power generation. This paper presents an intensive literature review, conducted on emerging PQ issues owing to Solar and Wind energy systems integration and existing mitigation methods.

The Impact

Abstract Increasing the share of renewable energy sources is one of the core policies of the European Union. This is because of the fact that this energy is essential in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions and securing energy supplies. Currently, the share of wind energy from all renewable energy sources is relatively low. The choice of location for a certain wind farm installation strongly depends on the wind potential. Therefore the accurate assessment of wind potential is extremely important. In the present paper an analysis is made on the impact of significant possible parameters on the determination of wind energy potential for relatively large areas. In the analysis the type of measurements (short- and long-term on-site measurements), the type of instrumentation and the terrain roughness factor are considered. The study on the impact of turbulence on the wind flow distribution over complex terrain is presented, and it is based on the real on-site data collected by the meteorological tall towers installed in the northern part of Bulgaria. By means of CFD based software a wind map is developed for relatively large areas. Different turbulent models in numerical calculations were tested and recommendations for the usage of the specific models in flows modeling over complex terrains are presented. The role of each parameter in wind map development is made. Different approaches for determination of wind energy potential based on the preliminary developed wind map are presented.

Due to sheer dependency upon fossil fuel sources, Bangladesh as a country is not free from numerous negative aspects. Country’s requirement for a certain portion of power be generated from renewable energy sources is due and required renewable energy target (RET) needs to be fulfilled. In this study, potential of distinguished coastal sites for entirely renewable energy such as solar and wind sources based microgrid for chosen community is explored. Microgrid architecture is appropriate considering the coastal areas’ geographical locations and due to the inconvenience in grid extension. Study suggests, potential of coastal sites are found to be feasible for such structures based on real case scenario data and modelled technical scheme.
