The emergent use of non-conventional energy resources in electrical power grid has initiated new challenge for the service load as concern to voltage balance, power quality issues and effective energy operation. Solar/ wind hybrid RES deliberated as the furthermost promising sources. Nevertheless standalone operations of distributed energy sources such as solar and wind not make sure of reliable power production principally owing to the randomness over the solar irradiance and accessibility of the wind. Hence, a combination of wind and solar energy production configuration can plan a highly reliable source of electrical energy. In This article, multi-level inverter (3 levels inverter) based grid tied hybrid solar- wind energy system based on a 3 level inverter is presented with the mitigation of power quality problems. In this work, analysis on simulation model is conceded to determine source current and voltage and percentage of total harmonic distortion. In particular, the power quality analysis is performed in grid tied hybrid solar and wind electrical power system using 3 level inverter.

A solar-wind hybrid system plays a key role in power generation and becomes very important role to smart grid power systems. Also, the wind-solar hybrid energy storage control systems in coordination of energy markets, made economical to the electrical power system power system. Hybrid renewable energy system connected micro-grid consists of significant identification; in view of solve the rising electrical energy demand. In addition to this the problem of harmonic distortion in micro-grids due to the non-linear loads is an indispensable topic of study. Also, it is very significant for the better understanding of the power quality impacts in micro-grids. This paper presents detail analysis of different control techniques for optimization of harmonics in smart grid system and enhancement in power quality of the smart grid system. The performance of the control system is verified through the MATLAB simulation of the hybrid solar-wind electrical energy system.

Power quality issues have been a source of major concern in recent years due to extensive use of power electronic devices and non-linear loads in electrical power system and consequently sensitive detection and accurate classification of power disturbances have become very much necessary. To monitor electrical power quality disturbances, short time discrete Fourier transform (STFT) is most often used. But for non- stationary signals, the STFT does not track the signal dynamics properly due to the limitations of a fixed window width chosen a priori. This paper presents a new approach for power quality analysis using a modified wavelet transform, known as S–transform and the analysis of several power quality problems using both S–transform as well as discrete wavelet transform validates the superiority of S–transform.

Optical Current Transformers (OCTs) and Optical Voltage Transformers (OVTs) are an alternative to the conventional transformers for protection and metering purposes with a much smaller footprint and weight. Their advantages were widely discussed in scientific and technical literature and commercial applications based on the well-known Faraday and Pockels effect. However, the literature is still scarce in studies evaluating the use of optical transformers for power quality purposes, an important issue of power system designed to analyze the various phenomena that cause power quality disturbances. In this paper, we constructed a temperature-independent prototype of an optical voltage transformer based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and piezoelectric ceramics (PZT), adequate to be used in field surveys at 13.8 kV distribution lines. The OVT was tested under several disturbances defined in IEEE standards that can occur in the electrical power system, especially short-duration voltage variations such as SAG, SWELL, and INTERRUPTION. The results demonstrated that the proposed OVT presents a dynamic response capable of satisfactorily measuring such disturbances and that it can be used as a power quality monitor for a 13.8 kV distribution system. Test on the proposed system concluded that it was capable to reproduce up to the 41st harmonic without significative distortion and impulsive surges up to 2.5 kHz. As an advantage, when compared with conventional systems to monitor power quality, the prototype can be remote-monitored, and therefore, be installed at strategic locations on distribution lines to be monitored kilometers away, without the need to be electrically powered.

A randomized algorithm for computing the invariant zeros of the electric energy system as a dynamical system with many inputs and many outputs (MIMO system), specified in the descriptor form, is proposed. Definitions of invariant zeros are carried out by randomizing the original MIMO system and it reduces to a generalized eigenvalue problem for a numerical matrix. The application of the algorithm is illustrated by the example of calculating the invariant zeros of the linear model of the United Power System.

The electrical power system is considered as the most complex man-made systems mainly due to their wide geographical coverage. Electrical energy industries contributes environmental pollution which rise questions concern environmental protection and methods of eliminating or reducing pollution from power plants either by design or by operational strategies. Electric power plants are mainly aimed to operate al low fuel cost strategies .In this paper a Multi –Objective Economic Emission Load Dispatch problem is solved to minimize the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) , oxides of other fuels that release during generation of electricity and fuel cost considering both Thermal generators and Wind turbines. A large number of iterations and oscillation are those of the major concern in solving the economic load dispatch problem by using the BFO(bacterial foraging optimization) method. By applying BFO method the economic dispatch problem is optimized to minimize the total generation cost of a power system while satisfying various equality and inequality constraints. The effect of Wind power on overall emission is also investigated here using Quadratic programming by wolf’s method. This method has better convergence characteristic. Wolf’s method is an extended simplex procedure which can be applied to Quadratic programming problems in which all the problem variables are non-negative.


Utilization of renewable energy for the reduction of fuel consumption and green house gas (GHG) emissions in the shipping industry has been increased rapidly in the recent years. Wind energy is a clean renewable energy with no pollution which is abundantly available at sea. This paper proposes two different possible configurations of connecting wind power energy into the ship’s main grid bus system . Wind electrical energy output has been connected to ship’s main ac bus system in one configuration and it is connected to ship’s main dc bus system. Even though Wind assisted ship propulsion (WASP) had been started already in the last decades in the form of wing sails, kites, Flettener rotor etc which could assist auxiliary propulsion of the ships, the application of wind power generator on the ship is not often applied. Therefore this paper has a relevant significance in applying wind electrical energy for the marine electrical power system needs. This paper also reveals the benefits and challenges in the area of onboard wind generation and opens future research possibilities in integrating wind energy into marine industry.

Harmonics in the power system is not new issue. This phenomenon has been introduced by technocrat throughout in the history of electrical power system. Maintaining the power quality in a power system is an essential assignment due to increase in wide variety of non-linear loads. The current drawn by such non linear loads are non-sinusoidal and therefore contains harmonics. Therefore, it becomes necessary to compensate these unwanted harmonics for better performance of the system. In this paper, a review of compensations of harmonics in distribution system has been explained.

The ever increasing global demand on the electrical energy has lead to the integration of Distributed Generators (DGs) onto the distribution power systems networks to supplement on the deficiencies on the electrical energy generation capacities. The high penetration levels of DGs on the electrical distribution networks experienced over the past decade calls for the grid operators to periodically and critically asses the impacts brought by the DGs on the distribution network operations. The assessment on the impacts brought by the DGs on the distribution network operations is done by simulating the dynamic response of the network to major disturbances occurring on the network like the faults once the DGs have been connected into it. Connection of Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) into a conventional electrical energy distribution network has great impacts on the short circuit current levels experienced during a fault and also on the protective devices used in protecting the distribution network equipment namely; the transformers, the overhead distribution lines, the underground cables and the line compensators and the shunt capacitors commonly used/found on the relatively long rural distribution feeders. The main factors which contribute to the impacts brought by the WTGs integration onto a conventional distribution network are: The location of interconnecting the WTG/s into the distribution feeder; The size/s of the WTG/s in terms of their electrical wattage penetrating the distribution network; And the type of the WTG interfacing technology used labeled/classified as, Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV WTGs. Even though transformers are the simplest and the most reliable devices in an electrical power system, transformer failures can occur due to internal or external conditions that make the transformer incapable of performing its proper functions. Appropriate transformer protection should be used with the objectives of protecting the electrical power system in case of a transformer failure and also to protect the transformer itself from the power system disturbances like the faults. This paper was to investigate the effects of integrating WTGs on a distribution transformer Fuse-Fuse conventional protection coordination scheme. The radial distribution feeder studied was the IEEE 13 node radial test feeder and it was simulated using the Electrical Transient Analysis Program (ETAP) software for distribution transformer Fuse-Fuse protection coordination analysis. The IEEE 13 Node radial test feeder In-line transformer studied is a three-phase  step down transformer having a star solidly grounded primary winding supplied at  and a star solidly grounded secondary winding feeding power at a voltage of . The increase on the short circuit currents at the In-line transformer nodes due to the WTG integration continuously reduces the time coordination margins between the upstream fuse F633 and the downstream fuse F634 used to protect the transformer.
