Power Factor Correction

Power Factor Correction

The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Phase-lead and Phase-lag Controllers

Phase-lead and Phase-lag Controllers

Understanding the working function of different types of controllers can be illustrated with practical analogies, such as adjusting a stereo's volume equalizer. Cranking up the bass involves a phase-lead controller, which functions as a high-pass filter, while increasing the treble uses a phase-lag controller, which acts as a low-pass filter. PD controllers, similar to high-pass filters, enhance the system's response to high-frequency components. PI controllers, akin to low-pass...

Generation of Three-Phase Voltage

Generation of Three-Phase Voltage

A three-phase AC generator has a rotor with a rotating magnet placed within the stator mounted with the stationary three-phase winding to generate three-phase voltages via mutual induction. These windings are evenly distributed around the inner circumference of the stator and are arranged 120 electrical degrees apart. Three-phase stator windings consist of three separate coils or groups of coils, known as phases, each connected in Y (star) configuration or Delta configuration.
As the rotor...

Power System Three-Phase Short Circuits

Power System Three-Phase Short Circuits

Determining the subtransient fault current in a power system involves representing transformers by their leakage reactances, transmission lines by their equivalent series reactances, and synchronous machines as constant voltage sources behind their subtransient reactances. In this analysis, certain elements are excluded, such as winding resistances, series resistances, shunt admittances, delta-Y phase shifts, armature resistance, saturation, saliency, non-rotating impedance loads, and small...

Power Distribution in Three-phase and Single Phase Circuits

Power Distribution in Three-phase and Single Phase Circuits

Power distribution within electrical circuits is a foundational aspect of residential and industrial energy systems. While single-phase power is common in residential settings, three-phase power is the standard for industrial environments with heavy machinery. Each system is different and has advantages, and it's crucial to understand the underlying principles of power distribution and material efficiency.
Single-Phase Power Distribution:
Single-phase circuits are typical in household settings;...

Area of Science:

Electrical Engineering
Renewable Energy Systems

Background:

Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) integration into power grids causes power quality (PQ) issues like voltage unbalancing and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Microgrids (MGs) face challenges in maintaining stable power flow due to uncertainties from multiple energy sources.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a unique regulating system for microgrids to manage power flows and mitigate PQ issues.
To enhance the reliability and power quality of microgrids with integrated RESs.

Main Methods:

A microgrid model was developed using PVs, wind turbines, and batteries as Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).
A novel optimal controller was designed using Fennec Fox Optimization (FFO) to regulate power flow based on DC voltage, coupling voltage, and load current.
The controller generates a three-phase inverter pulse signal to adjust power supply from PV and wind.

Main Results:

The FFO-based controller effectively reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to 2.2% and maintained a 0.8 power factor and 50 Hz frequency in a simple microgrid.
Performance was verified under various PQ conditions, including demand response, line impedance, and off-nominal scenarios in a large, three-phase structure.

Conclusions:

The proposed controller successfully mitigates PQ issues in microgrids, ensuring constant frequency and power factor.
The Fennec Fox Optimization-based approach offers a feasible and effective solution for enhancing microgrid stability and power quality.
