  • There is a high demand for energy efficiency improvement of factories that make up a large part of national electric energy. Therefore, research on smart FEMS technology for monitoring, analyzing and controlling energy consumption patterns is under way, but there is still a lack of research on detailed element technology for communication and control inside the factory. In this paper, we proposed OFDM VLC system based on MODBUS protocol for communication between gateways, sensors, and devices to implement smart FEMS in indoor factory environment. Assuming a conveyor belt load control, we validated the proposed system by simulating the inverter motor control and checking the performance.

  • In order to overcome the power fluctuation issues in photovoltaic (PV) smart grid-connected systems and the inverter nonlinearity model problem, an adaptive backstepping command-filter and a double second order generalized Integrators (DSOGI) controller are designed in order to tune the AC current and the DC-link voltage from the DC side. Firstly, we propose to present the filter mathematical model throughout the PV system, at that juncture the backstepping control law is applied in order to control it, Moreover the command filter is bounded to the controller aiming to exclude the backstepping controller differential increase. Additionally, The adaptive law uses Lyapunov stability criterion. Its task is to estimate the uncertain parameters in the smart grid-connected inverter. A DSOGI is added to stabilize the grid currents and eliminate undesirable harmonics meanwhile feeding maximum power generated from PV to the point of common coupling (PCC). Then, guaranteeing a dynamic effective response even under very unbalanced loads and/or intermittent climate changes. Finally, the simulation results will be established using MATLAB/SIMULINK proving that the presented approach can control surely the smart grid-connected system.

Recently, the solar power generation system is being applied actively. However the solar power system has several problems leading to reduce overall electricity generation, because the difficult of the diagnosis and the solar power system failure such as PV(PhotoVoltaics) and inverter. In order to build an efficient smart grid, a stable electric power energy requirements capture and management and early fault detection is essentially required in solar power generation system. In this paper, it is designed to monitor the operating status of the solar power monitoring system from a remote location through a RS-485 or TCP/IP communication module to monitoring the output of solar power energy and abnormal phenomenon, to developing the measurement module and to transfer measured data.

  • This paper proposes two-stage optimization framework to re-estimate the photovoltaic (PV) hosting capacity (HC) by improving parameters for voltage controls of the smart inverter. In the first stage, PV HC is estimated considering Volt-Var (VV) and Volt-Watt (VW) controls, aligning with IEEE Std 1547-2018 guidelines. In the second stage, adjust parameters of VV and VW to improve HC. To investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm, simulations conducted using OpenDSS on an IEEE 37-bus system. The results demonstrate that effectively increases PV HC.

  • Developments in power electronics have enabled the widespread application of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverters, notably for connecting renewable systems to the grid. This study demonstrates that a high-quality power can be achieved using a stand-alone inverter, whereby the comparison between the power quality of the stand-alone inverter with battery storage (off-grid) and the power quality of the utility network is presented. Multi-loop control techniques for a single phase stand-alone inverter are used. A capacitor current control is used to give active damping and enhance the transient and steady state inverter performance. A capacitor current control is cheaper than the inductor current control, where a small current sensing resistor is used. The output voltage control is used to improve the system performance and also control the output voltage. The inner control loop uses a proportional gain current controller and the outer loop is implemented using internal model control proportional-integral-derivative to ensure stability. The optimal controls are achieved by using the Sisotool tool in MATLAB/Simulink. The outcome of the control scheme of the numerical model of the stand-alone inverter has a smooth and good dynamic performance, but also a strong robustness to load variations. The numerical model of the stand-alone inverter and its power quality are presented, and the power quality is shown to meet the IEEE 519-2014. Furthermore, the power quality of the off-grid system is measured experimentally and compared with the grid power, showing power quality of off-grid system to be better than that of the utility network.

  • This paper proposes fluorescent electronic ballast with high power factor and low line input current harmonics. The system performance can be improved by a charged pump circuit. Details of design and circuit operation are described. The proposed electronic ballast is modified from single-stage half bridge class D electronic ballast by adding capacitor parallel with each power switch and setting the circuit parameter to operate under class DE inverter condition. By using this proposed method the DC bus voltage can be reduced around by 50% compare with conventional class D inverter circuit. Because the power switches are operated at zero voltage switching condition and low dv/dt of class DE switching. The experimental results show that the proper frequency of the prototype is around 50 kHz with input power factor of 0.982, $THD_i$ 10.2% at full load and efficiency of more than 90%.

  • New inverter motor drive systems consume 30%~50% less energy compared to existing motor drive systems. For inverter motor drive systems, the development of a 1200V high side driver is critical. This paper presents an advanced 1200V high side driver with low power consumption and high ruggedness. This solution implements a high voltage level shifter which consumes low power by adding a clamped VGS LDMOS driver to the conventional short pulse generator. Moreover, this paper proposes a highly rugged 1200V LDMOS which improves SOA by limiting the hole current. This paper could be applied to smart power modules used for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and airconditioning) and industrial inverters. Consequently, this paper will provide design engineers with an understanding of how they can make a significant contribution to worldwide energy savings.

  • In this paper, a 3-phase inverter output waveform generator based on SPWM control was developed to verify the performance of the LCL filter. In order to obtain a test signal for verifying the performance of the filter, first, a DSP-based 3-phase SPWM signal generation algorithm was developed, and then a three-phase voltage source inverter circuit was designed using three half-bridge gate drivers. Next, one LCL filter was experimentally fabricated to verify the effectiveness of the developed SPWM-based 3-phase inverter output waveform generator as a test signal generator, and a DSP-based performance verification system was experimentally constructed. Finally, by comparing the three-phase voltage waveform before and after the LCL filter obtained in the output control experiment with the given time ratio, the effectiveness of the SPWM-based 3-phase inverter output waveform generator was verified.
