this paper presents a novel control approach used in shunt active power filter based on variable structure control combined with random pwm technique (rvsc) that provides robust, fast, and more favorable performance for active power filter. this control strategy is compared with two other strategies to show the effectiveness of the introduced methods; pulse width modulated proportional-integral...

In this paper, two algorithms have been developed for allocation and size determination of Active Power Filters (APF) in power systems. In the first algorithm, the objective is to minimize harmonic voltage distortion. The objective in the second algorithm is to minimize the new APF injection currents while satisfying harmonic standards. Genetic algorithm is proposed for these two optimization p...

In this paper, a novel and simple control strategy, based on state feedback method is suggested to control the power injection system (PIS). The considered PIS is composed of, a DC voltage source, a voltage source inverter (VSI) and a L-C-L filter. The DC source includes the battery source with boosted voltage. The battery can be charged with photovoltaic cells. Since, the grid voltage acts as ...

This paper presents the mathematical steady-state modelling of Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), which is the most widely used member of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS). STATCOM Power Injection Model (PIM), derived from one voltage source representation, is presented and analyzed in detailed. A program, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems Power Fl...

Due to the shortage of liquid hydrocarbon fuels for compression ignition engines, researchers have constantly been looking for alternative fuels. Recently, dim ethyl ether (DME) with its interesting properties, such as high cetane number and low exhaust emission has drawn a lot of interst as a suitable fuel for diesel engines. The main objective of this study was to assess the potentials and fe...
