A hierarchical supervisory wind power plant controller

Implementation of a Real Time Supervisory Controller for an Isolated Hybrid (wind/ Solar/diesel) Power System

[email protected] In most of the developing countries like India and South Africa, there exists still many remote places (isolated from the grid); where the electrification is unavailable due to the financial aspect related to establishing the infrastructure to distribute power over a long distance and consequent high transmission losses. Authors emphasize for an Autonomous Hybrid Po...

Applications of Fuzzy Supervisory PID Controller to a Power System

This paper presents a way that fuzzy logic can be used in high level control functions. Specifically, we examine the use of fuzzy logic in supervisory control, for selecting discrete control actions, identifying the operating environment and evaluating controller performance. Proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in excitation control of power systems, they exh ibit...

Hierarchical Interface-based Supervisory Control of a Bottling Plant

In this paper, the application of the Hierarchical Interface-based Supervisory Control method to controlling a large scale manufacturing example is presented adopting a layered organizational hierarchy of a factory. The generic and easily maintainable implementation using programmable logic controllers, a personal computer and TCP/IP over Ethernet for communication is explained in detail. To as...

Supervisory Fuzzy Predictive Control for a Concentrated Solar Power Plant

This paper deals with the design and evaluation of the performance of fuzzy predictive controller in supervisory mode for a solar-concentration-based power plant, with cylindrical-parabolic solar collectors. For the design of the controller, the inner control loops present in this solar platform are included in the model of the plant. That is, a control loop consisting of a PI plus a feed-forwa...
