The paper proposes the integration of photovoltaics into distribution power system through inverter control and optimally managing the power flow based on smart energy meter data. The concept of Unbundled Smart Meter (USM) is used which to optimally integrate the inverter control logic with in the Smart meter which requires the construction of SMX (Smart Meter Extension) library. The proposed approach is adapted to make the design more robust and dynamic. State feedback controller has been designed to control the power flow to and from between the inverter and grid through USM and hence provide additional services to support grid operations. The proposed system gives the flexibility of adding numerous functionalities in the installed smart meter without the fuss of firmware change and hence integration of renewables to grid becomes more efficient as the meter’s instantaneous data are used in the dynamic control of the system. The validation of the proposed scheme is achieved by time domain simulations on MATLAB/Simulink R2018a platform along with Arduino programming on Proteus 8.1 software. These results are further assessed through Hardware experiment observations.

This paper presents various experimental verifications for the theoretical analysis results of vibration suppression to a smart flexible beam bonded with a piezoelectric actuator by a velocity feedback controller and an extended state observer (ESO). During the state feedback control (SFC) design process for the smart flexible beam with the pole placement theory, in the state feedback gain matrix, the velocity feedback gain is much more than the displacement feedback gain. For the difference between the velocity feedback gain and the displacement feedback gain, a modified velocity feedback controller is applied based on a dynamical model with the Hamilton principle to the smart beam. In addition, the feedback velocity is attained with the extended state observer and the displacement is acquired by the foil gauge on the root of the smart flexible beam. The control voltage is calculated by the designed velocity feedback gain multiplied by the feedback velocity. Through some experiment verifications for simulation results, it is indicated that the suppressed amplitude of free vibration is up to 62.13% while the attenuated magnitude of its velocity is up to 61.31%. Therefore, it is demonstrated that the modified velocity feedback control with the extended state observer is feasible to reduce free vibration.
