Speed Control of Induction Machine in Wind Energy Systems

Speed Control of Induction Machine in Wind Energy Systems project work is based on a new control scheme for applications requiring cubic power characteristics.

The system under consideration is a generating unit in which the prime mover is a wind turbine whose power –speed curves are cubic in nature. It is immaterial whether the system is stand-alone or grid-connected. In the former case, the generated power goes into a dc load and a battery backup.

In the latter case, it is inverted and fed to the grid. An IGBT based PWM converter is used in the stator circuit of a squirrel cage induction machine to extract maximum power from the shaft of the turbine. Since the converter can supply variable frequency as well as voltage, low slip operation over a wide speed range is possible as a result slip losses are negligible. To extract maximum power the control strategy should be independent of air velocity.

Since the peak power varies with air velocity, some systems which track peak power rely on air velocity measurement and works as long as air velocity varies slowly, but fails when it varies rapidly, since the peak point shifts with air velocity variation and confuses the controller. Hence the proposed scheme avoids pneumatic measurements.

When the peak power points for various air velocities are joined, they are found to lie practically on a cubic curve, i.e., peak power is proportional to the cube of the shaft speed at which it occurs. By varying the stator voltage in such a proportion to square of the stator frequency, the pull out torque is made to vary as square of speed and the corresponding power to vary as cube of speed.

This ensures low slip operation throughout. Moreover, it is shown that only under this strategy does the slip speed at which the peak turbine power occurs become independent of air velocity. The optimum value of slip speed can be obtained by conducting experiment at any one air velocity.

Thus, a new scalar control strategy   requires a cage rotor induction machine, is rugged, cheap and easy to implement the control logic is suggested. Open loop experiments are carried out in the laboratory to observe the proposed concept. Results of the experiments and relevant waveforms are presented, they are observed to be in good agreement with the simulation results.

Enhancement of Voltage Quality in Isolated Power Systems

Enhancement of Voltage Quality in Isolated Power Systems Project explains about increasing voltage quality in power systems. Compensators are used for maintaing voltage variations and to control the distortions caused by voltage in the network.Voltage adjustment is one of the most used methods for controlling voltage variations. Simulators are used for validation on voltage levels. Voltage variations are mainly seen in rural and remote areas of the country. Mainly grid connections are used for solving this problem but in order to establish this system it requires more money.

When coming to power systems used in ships, oil explorations limited power is used for filling the needs. So in these systems motor drives and power converters are used. Even in these systems power systems are not accurate when comparing to grid.

Stability in Power Systems Project

Stability In Power Systems is one of the most widely used secured system from past 80 years. Because of many issues caused from power blackouts, importance of this system had increased. In present situations usage of power systems interconnection had increased  use of new technologies and controls, and the increased its usage in highly demanding situations, different forms of system instability have emerged.

Though the usage of power systems is increasing there are few areas where voltage frequency stability is still a issue. So in order to maximize the system stability research on power system stability should be carried out. In order to design perfect system to solve this problem a detailed study on  design should be performed. Power stability means maintaining equalibrium on all parameters of power systems even when there is physical disturbances.

This paper will explain in detail about how this system is developed and requirements for this project.

Design, Modeling and Simulation of Fuzzy Controlled Svc for 750km (Λ/8) Transmission Line

  Design, Modeling and Simulation of Fuzzy Controlled Svc for 750km (Λ/8) Transmission Line project is mainly concentrated on the importance of SVC in achieving continuous and automatic reactive power control using fuzzy logic controller. From the previously obtained values of voltage, currents and alpha values, fuzzy rules were set in order to obtain the desired firing angles of SVC so as to obtain a flat voltage profile in transmission network. The standard test system is simulated in MATLAB along with fuzzy logic controller. The results obtained were found to be proving trustworthy and can be implemented for the real time control of reactive power in any power system. 

Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) is a technology, which is based on power electronic devices, used to enhance the existing transmission capabilities in order to make the transmission system flexible and independent operation. The FACTS technology is a promising technology to achieve complete deregulation of Power System i.e. Generation, Transmission and Distribution as complete individual units. The loading capability of transmission system can also be enhanced nearer to the thermal limits without affecting the stability. Complete close-loop smooth control of reactive power can be achieved using shunt connected FACTS devices. 

Intelligent FACTS devices make them adaptable and hence it is emerging in the present state of art.

The design, modeling and simulations are carried out for λ /8 Transmission line and the compensation is placed at the receiving end (load end).

            In ac power system, the generation and load must be balance at all times. To some extent, electrical system is self regulating. Beyond that when propped up with reactive power support load will go up, frequency keeps dropping and system will collapse. Alternatively, if there is inadequate reactive power, system can have voltage collapse. Thus reactive power control is an important control objective of any power system as its unbalance causes voltage variation at the load end. If the voltage variation is more than the   pre specified valve the performance of equipment suffers and life of most of equipment is sacrificed. Hence maintaining   voltage within reasonable limits is an important objective of power system control.

The conventional methods available for reactive power control are shunt capacitor, series capacitor, tap changing transformers and synchronous modifier. But these are operated by mechanical switches; hence do not offer fast and continuous control. 

FACTS controllers can enable alien to carry power closer to its thermal rating. According to IEEE terms FACTS means-alternating current transmission system incorporation power electronics-based and other static controllers to enhance controllability and increase power transfer capability.

               The various types of FACT controllers include the shunt connected, series connected controllers and a combination of these two. Of these we have used the shunt connected controller.

TCR-FC is an SVC device which offers fast, effective and continuous control of voltage which compensates both for over voltage and under voltage.

Controlling Power Flow in Three Phase Transmission System

Controlling Power Flow in three phase Transmission System Project explains about developing new device which will controll the power in three phase network. This device is alternative to UPFC which can have features for power controll but DPFC can be implemented in low cost and provide maximum reliability. In this paper we will come across how DPFC can be useful in unbalanced power systems. You can understand how power is balanced in zero and negative sequences from this paper. 

Power is one of the important source for any industy so there should be a perfect equipment for utilizing power effectively. One of the main issues with power systems is waste of power due to unbalnced voltages and currents in network. Among three phase and single phase systems unbalanced power is maximum in single pahse. Because of this issue there will be loss of electric components like motor, generators, converters and transformers.
