Interline unified power quality conditioner is the recent advancement in the world of FACTS devices and technology. The new equipment is only a mere extension of the existing FACTS device features  like Distributed Static Compensator which does not limit to better voltage regulation at the gird side as well as load side bus. The effectiveness of the new FACTS device is compared with its homologous counterpart, namely conventional Unified power quality conditioner. It is observed that there is significant difference with respect to the arrangement of parallel and series connected converters. Soft computing technique namely fuzzy logic based controller for the proposed Interline unified power quality conditioner is presented in the paper. The implementation and usefulness of the proposed control topology is tested and simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

Synchronous distributed generators (SDGs) significantly affect recloser–fuse coordination due to the high fault current contribution. This paper proposes a separated phase–current control using inverter-based distributed generators (IBDGs) to remove the effects of fault current contributions from SDGs during unsymmetrical faults. The three-phase current produced by IBDGs is independently controlled. While the total fault current is reduced by adjusting the current phase angle in the faulty phase, the energy in the DC-link capacitor (Cdc) is delivered to the grid in order to avoid the rise of DC-link voltage (Vdc) by means of injection of the active current into the nonfaulty phase. To maintain the proper grid voltage, the voltage regulation feature is installed in the IBDGs. Moreover, current estimations programmed within the IBDGs are introduced to avoid the performance degradation of separated phase–current controls caused by phasor measurement units (PMUs). The dynamic performance of the separated phase–current controls using IBDGs was evaluated using an IEEE 34-node radial test feeder. According to the simulation results, the IBDGs could eliminate the effects of fault current contributions from the SDG without interruption since the disconnections caused by excessive Vdc were prevented. They could also regulate the grid voltage in the nonfaulty phase.

One of the most important operational requirements for any electrical power network for both distribution and transmission level is voltage control. Many studies have been carried out to improve or develop new voltage control techniques to facilitate safe connection of distributed generation. In Saudi Arabia, due to environmental, economic and development perspectives, a wide integration of photovoltaic (PV) genera-tion in distribution network is expected in the near future. This development in the network may cause voltage regulation problems due to the interaction with the existing conventional control system. In a previous paper, a control system has been described using a fuzzy logic control to set the on-line tap changer for the primary substation. In this paper a new control system is proposed for controlling the power factor of individual PV invertors based on observed correlation between net active and reactive power at each connection. A fuzzy logic control has been designed to alter the power factor for the remote invertors from the secondary substation to keep the feeder voltage within the permissible limits. In order to confirm the validity of the proposed method, simulations are carried out for a realistic distribution network with real data for load and solar radiation. Results showing the performance of the new control method are presented and discussed.

Bus Voltage

In the direct current (DC) microgrid composed of multiple distributed generations, due to the different distances between various converters and the DC bus in the system, the difference of the line resistance will reduce the current sharing accuracy of the system. The droop control was widely used in the operation control of the DC microgrid. It was necessary to select a large droop coefficient to improve the current sharing accuracy, but a too large droop coefficient will lead to a serious bus voltage drop and affect the power quality. In view of the contradiction between the voltage regulation and load current sharing in the traditional droop control, a hierarchical control algorithm based on the improved droop control of the fuzzy logic was proposed in this paper. By improving the droop curve, the problems of voltage regulation and current sharing were solved simultaneously. The effectiveness of the algorithm was verified by simulation.

This paper aims to unleash the potential of a heat pump (HP) and its storage system, as a flexible consumer load, in the low-voltage (LV) distribution network by introducing an autonomous controller. Steady-state analysis using DigSILENT Power Factory, a power system analysis tool, is performed to verify the proposed hypothesis. The proposed controller manages to operate the individual HP and storage within the recommended operating limits of grid voltage, by sharing flexibility within the specific network. It has the capability of sensing local key control parameters for scheduling, re-scheduling, and decision-making on the operation of individual HPs. It also takes the thermal energy comfort of individual consumers into consideration. Measurement of local parameters such as grid voltage, supply temperature and level of cold water in the storage tank defines the priority for operation of HPs based on operating delays for turning it on and off. This enhances the sharing of flexibility for proper coordination, control, and management of HP systems in LV distribution networks with mutual technical benefits. From the results, the application of the proposed controller is found to be effective to manage grid congestions and local voltage regulation, satisfying the thermal energy requirements of the customer.
