This paper represents the generating principles of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind power system and developes a simulation model of DFIG by using PSCAD/EMTDC. In addition, this paper analyzes the steady state operation and the transient operation during the voltage sags in the power common coupling. The voltage sags are occurred by three phase line-to-ground faults and full-voltage startup of an induction motor in the simulation.

Distributions of the parameters in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been analyzed numerically under steady-state and isothermal conditions. The distributions of the crucial parameters (e.g., temperature and pressure) in a PEMFC have a major impact on its safe and efficient operation. This paper predicts the performance of the model electrode plates by calculating the pressure and temperature distributions of working fluid. The calculated results of pressure and temperature at exit condition shows good agreement to experiments and gives details of flow pattern inside of electrode plates.

The stand alone induction generator has been excited by capacitor bank or voltage source inverters. The conventional excitation methods offer several restrictions on the operation of the induction generator in various operating conditions. To overcome the restrictions, this paper presents the induction generator system excited by the current controlled inverter which operates on the principle of vector control. The proposed control scheme is based on the rotor flux oriented indirect vector control. The steady state characteristics are investigated to yield control ranges under various operating conditions. Through the simulation, it is confirmed that the system has good dynamic characteristics wi thin the controllable ranges given by the steady state analysis.

This paper describes a control scheme for direct torque and flux control of Induction machines using space vector modulation. The proposed predictive flux control scheme has directly calculated the reference voltage space vector based on Stator flux errors in order to control the torque and flux. This proposed control scheme has not the requirement of a separate current error, thereby improving transient performance and also has the advantage of less torque ripple in steady state with a fixed switching period. The effect of proposed method has been proven by simulations. It is concluded that the proposed control topology produces better results for steady state operation than the classical direct torque control.

This paper presents a discrete-time version of voltage and current limited operation using an enhanced direct torque and flux control method for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives. A command voltage vector for airgap torque and stator flux regulation can be uniquely determined by the finite-settling-step direct torque and flux control (FSS-DTFC) algorithm under physical constraints. The proposed command voltage vector trajectories can be developed to achieve the maximum inverter voltage utilization for the discrete-time current limit (DTCL)-based FSS-DTFC. The algorithm can produce adequate results over a number of the potential secondary upsets found in the steady-state current limit (SSCL)-based DTFC. The fast changes in the torque and stator flux linkage improve the dynamic responses significantly over a wide constant-power operating region. The control strategy was evaluated on a 900W IPMSM in both simulations and experiments.

An improved RRS (Reactor Regulating System) logic is implemented in this work using systems engineering approach along with GA (Genetic Algorithm) deemed as providing an optimal solution to a given system. The current system works desirably and has been contributed to the safe and stable NPP operation. However, during the ascent and decent section of the reactor power, the RRS output reveals a relatively high steady state error and the output also carries a considerable level of overshoot. In an attempt to consolidate conservatism and minimize the error, this research proposes applying genetic algorithm to RRS and suggests reconfiguring the system. Prior to the use of GA, reverse-engineering is implemented to build a Simulink-based RRS model and re-engineering is followed to apply the GA and to produce a newly-configured RRS generating an output that has a reduced steady state error and diminished overshoot level.

Fault currents characteristics contain decaying DC offset. First cycle peak value of fault currents is higher than steady-state fault current value. These characteristics can affect the operation of protective device. To reduce the asymmetric fault current, the method using a series connection of two hybrid-type Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) components, an auxiliary SFCL and a main SFCL, has been proposed. The auxiliary SFCL limits the first half cycle fault current, while main SFCL limits the steady state fault currents. This paper proposed a decision method of the optimal insertion resistance of auxiliary and main SFCL components. To verify the effectiveness of proposed scheme, the various simulations are performed by using Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP).

Steady-state operation of a fusion power plant requires external current drive to minimize the power requirements, and a high fraction of bootstrap current is required. One of the external sources for current drive is lower hybrid current drive, which has been widely applied in many tokamaks. Here, using lower hybrid simulation code, we calculate electron distribution function, electron currents and phase velocity changes for two options of demonstration reactor at the launched lower hybrid wave frequency 5 GHz. Two plasma scenarios pertaining to two different demonstration reactor options, known as pulsed (Option 1) and steady-state (Option 2) models, have been analyzed. We perceive that electron currents have major peaks near the edge of plasma for both options but with higher efficiency for Option 1, although we have access to wider, more peripheral regions for Option 2. Regarding the electron distribution function, major perturbations are at positive velocities for both options for flux surface 16 and at negative velocities for both options for flux surface 64.

The demand for steam generators is increasing in industrial systems in which the design strategy should be implemented for safe and efficient operation of steam generators. It is, however, difficult to design a controller by the conventional method because of the nonlinear dynamics of the steam generator and influences by the set value of disturbance. This paper presents an automatic parameter optimization technique for a multivariable fuzzy controller using evolutionary strategy, At first, we use the steady state information such as a steady state gain matrix(SSGM) and a relative gain matrix(RGM). We can obtain much information on the control inputs and the outputs of the boiler-turbine system from the matrices. In order to determine the structure of the controller by using RGM and SSGM, the fuzzy rules are trained by evolutionary strategy. The good performance of the proposed multivariable fuzzy controller is verified through simulations.
