Computer Aided Design for a PV System And Investigation Of 3 Phase Thyristor Converter

This Computer Aided Design for a PV System And Investigation Of 3 Phase Thyristor Converter project report is the brief description of Computer Aided Design, Pv System And Investigation and Thyristor Converter used to converts energy from the sunlight into electricity.  The report explains the details of energy conversion in two parts with different aspect of energy.

A photovoltaic cell converts energy from the sunlight into electricity. The radiation from the sun is made up of tiny particles of energy called photons. As these photons impact on the cell, some of them are absorbed into the cell. The energy from the photons on impact causes electrons to be free. The movement of the free electrons is what generates electricity.

A thyristor is a switching semi conductor device that is unidirectional, that is to say it can only conduct in a single direction. It can be seen that a thyristor is basically a combination of PNP and NPN bipolar transistors.  To make the thyristor conduct a voltage is applied at the gate which turns on the NPN transistor which in turn makes the PNP to start conducting. Once both transistors are ON, they remain ON until turned OFF. Due the mode of operation and behaviour as described earlier, thyristors are used in 3 phase rectified circuits. This type of rectifier using thyristors is referred to as line commutated controlled rectifier.

Conclusion:

A  PV system can be made to track maximum power point by incorporating a PI controller into the PV system. The PI controller adjusts the PV voltage based on the maximum power point. With properly tuned values of proportional gain and integral gain, the PI controller reduces ripples and improves transient response. In a 3 phase thyristor rectifier using 6 thyristors, the thyristors are triggered it sequence resulting in the formation of 6 pulse DC voltage waveforms.

To propagate throughout the power system Voltage sags propagate throughout the power system and a sag sensitive customer can experience sags caused by faults at the same, higher or lower voltage levels. In this report the main interest is distribution companies and their possibilities in decreasing the impact of voltage sags. Thus only voltage sags caused by short circuit faults on MV radically operated networks and experienced by LV customers are studied. Network characteristics have influence on voltage sag distribution.

Voltage sag is a momentary decrease in the rms voltage, usually caused by a fault in the utility transmission line or distribution system within customer facility. It is a temporary voltage drop below 90% of the nominal voltage level. Voltage sags and momentary power interruptions are probably the most important power quality problems affecting industrial and large commercial customers. Voltage sags and momentary power interruptions are probably the most important PQ problem affecting industrial and large commercial customers. These events are usually associated with a fault at some location in the supplying power system.  Interruptions occur when the fault is on the circuit supplying the customer.

Project Report On Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)

Project Report On Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) have become an indispensable element of many data processing installations (EDP), from desktop PC’s to mainframe computer systems. UPS systems provide a measure of insurance and security for the user who is concerned about data loss and hardware failures caused by power disturbances. The measure of insurance needed is proportional to the financial impact of the downtime caused by such an incident.

More recently, the introduction of computer based control systems in manufacturing and process control applications has prompted the need for UPS system in industrial facilities as well. Typical applications range from distributed PLC based controls to complete Distributed Control Systems (DCS) with power requirements ranging from 3 to 50 KVA. In addition to new plant construction, many older plants are upgrading both pneumatic and single loop control systems to distributed control, primarily to improve operating efficiency. Fundamental philosophical differences in system architecture indicate that industrial computer applications require different design parameters than their data processing counterparts and while UPS’s in commercial applications have largely become commodity items, industrial UPS systems remain an engineered product.

Project Report On Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) Conclusion:

In conclusion, there are many things to consider when specifying a UPS for industrial applications, only a few of which have been covered here. We’ve learned that industrial UPS systems generally have a high initial cost than their computer room counterparts. They are also more reliable and will be serviceable for the life of the plant. A cost justification based on the 15 to 20 year plant design life will show the cost of ownership for the industrial unit to be considerably lower. If you factor in the possibility of one incident traceable to the UPS that causes plant down time it becomes a foregone conclusion that spending a little more on the front end can save a substantial amount of money in the long run.
