Model Predictive Control (MPC) method is a class of advanced control techniques most widely applied in industry. The major advantages of the MPC are its straightforward procedure which can be applied for both linear and nonlinear system. This paper proposes the use of MPC for voltage source converter (VSC) in a high voltage direct current (HVDC) system. A MPC controller is modeled based on the ...

Ultra-Dense Network (UDN) is regarded as a major development trend in the evolution of future networks, due to its ability to provide larger sum rate to the whole system and meet higher users' Quality of Service (QoS). Different from the existing heterogeneous network, UDN has a smaller cell radius and a new network structure. The core concept of UDN is to deploy the low power Base Stations (BS...

Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based HVDC is the most recent HVDC technology with extruded DC cables in small and medium power transmission. VSC-HVDC converters include Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBT’S) and operated with high frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in order to get high speed control of both active and reactive power. With VSCHVDC there is an addition degree of freedom....

This paper proposes a fault-location method for voltage-source converter (VSC)-based high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) systems. This method relies on the current frequency components generated by faults in the cable, and requires the arrival time of the frequency components at two terminals. The S transform is a time–frequency analysis tool that is superior to the wavelet transform in some...

The pH control is a difficult problem. This is due to the strong nonlinearity and extreme sensitivity to disturbances in the neighborhood of the neutrality point. A Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller (FSMC) which combines a Variable Structure Control with sliding modes (VSC) and the fuzzy logic theory to adjust the controller gains, for pH control (neutralization and regulation), is presented in thi...

The concept of the Virtual Software Corporation (VSC) has recently become a practical reality as a result of advances in communication and distributed technologies. However, there are significant difficulties with the management of the software development process within a VSC. The main problem is the significantly increased communicational complexity of the process model for such developments....

In this paper, a nonlinear controller for VSC-HVDC transmission system is proposed. The feedback linearization based nonlinear differential-geometric techniques is used to cancel nonlinearities and decouple the input control variables. A predictive current control (PCC) method is also proposed. It can predict the current reference for the next sampling instant rapidly and accurately. Comprehens...

We prove existence of classical solutions to the so-called diffusive Vesicle Supply Centre (VSC) model describing the growth of fungal hyphae. It is supposed in this model that the local expansion of the cell wall is caused by a flux of vesicles into the wall and that the cell wall particles move orthogonally to the cell surface. The vesicles are assumed to emerge from a single point inside the...

Voltage-Sourced Converter (VSC) is the main component in a VSC-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system. In addition to the characteristic harmonics, the inter-harmonics could be originated from the characteristic of each converter working at different modulation frequencies, or from a distorting frequency on one or both ac (or dc) systems. The space vector representation of VSC’s switch...

This project presents reactive power compensation in a distribution power system. DSTATCOM (distribution static compensator) is a reactive power compensator for power quality improvement in a three phase four wire distribution system. A voltage source converter (VSC) based DSTATCOM with a zig-zag transformer is used for the compensation of reactive power for voltage regulation along with load b...
