The interline power flow controller (IPFC) is a concept of the FACTS controller for series compensation which can inject a voltage with controllable magnitude and phase angle among multi lines. This paper proposes a novel IPFC-Based Damping Neuro-control scheme using PSO for damping oscil‌la‌t‌i‌o‌ns in a power system to improve power system stability. The add‌i‌tion of a supplementary controll...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new control strategy for bidirectional DC-DC converter. This strategy aims at controlling a bidirectional DC-DC converter to behave like a virtual conductor. As a matter of fact, the voltage difference between the terminals of any conductor is zero volts. Conversely, the main target of this proposed control strategy is to keep the voltage difference between the c...

In this paper, we present a nonlinear robust control of active and reactive power by the use the PI regulators control (FOC) a Double-Fed Asynchronous Generator (DFIG) system incorporated in a windturbine. The power transfer between the stator and the network grid is carried out by acting on the rotor via a bidirectional signal converter. Initially, a control strategy of the MPPT-DFIG is presen...

We investigate the organization of traffic flow on preexisting uniand bidirectional ant trails. Our investigations comprise a theoretical as well as an empirical part. We propose minimal models of uniand bidirectional traffic flow implemented as cellular automata. Using these models, the spatio-temporal organization of ants on the trail is studied. Based on this, some unusual flow characteristi...

This paper presents modeling and control of a hybrid distributed energy sources including photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell (FC) and battery energy storage (BES) in a microgrid which provides both real and reactive power to support an unbalanced utility grid. The overall configuration of the microgrid including dynamic models for the PV, FC, BES and its power electronic interfacing are briefly descr...

Virtual Equivalence, a concept to implement bi-directional energy-based interfaces between real and virtual models, will be introduced. It consists of two steps: 1. replacement of a complex virtual circuit by a simplified equivalence and 2. connecting this simplified equivalence to a bi-directional power interface allowing interactions between the real and virtual circuits. An arbitrary circuit...

The bidirectional power flow through the interlinking converter (IC), in ac/dc hybrid microgrids (HMGs) consisting of distributed generators (DGs) with droop controllers, plays an important role on stability such systems during islanding. This paper investigates impact direction small-signal islanded droop-based HMGs. Firstly, a linearized state-space model HMG is developed. Secondly, eigenvalu...

Complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Batteries, ultra capacitors (UCs), and fuel cells (FCs) are widely being proposed for electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs/PHEVs) as energy sources. The increasing popularity of EVs and PHEVs can be attributed to the savings in fuel costs, compared to conventio...
