Neural-Network-Based Integrated Electronic Load Controller for Isolated Asynchronous Generators in Small Hydro Generation

“…This extends the ability of control design. Most of the mentioned state-based LFC controllers of micro hydro power plants [1,2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]19] usually have an assumption that all the system states are measurable. The assumption is too strict to be achieved in practice.…”

“…With the property of micro hydro power plants around the world, a variety of control methods for the LFC problem has been reported in the literature, such as fuzzy multimodel control [7], hybrid intelligent control [8], multiple flow control [9], neural-network-based integral control [10], adaptive control [11,12], to name but a few. A review [13] investigated recent philosophies about operation and control for distribution network connected with small/micro hydro power plants.…”

Original scientific paperMicro hydro is treated as a major renewable energy resource. Such a kind of plants blooms because they can evade some dilemmas like population displacement and environmental problems. But their performance on the frequency index of power systems may be deteriorated in the presence of sudden small load perturbations and parameter uncertainties. To improve the performance, the problem of load frequency control (LFC) raises up. Design of state-based controllers on the aspect of modern control is challenging because only a part of the system states are measurable. This paper addresses the scheme of sliding mode control by model order reduction for the LFC problem of micro hydro power plants. The kind of plants usually has two operating modes, i.e., isolated mode and grid-connected mode. Under each operating mode, mathematical model and model reduction are investigated at first. According to the reduced-order model, a sliding mode control law is subsequently derived. Since the control law is applied to the original system, a sufficient condition about the system stability is proven in light of small gain theory. Simulation results illustrate the feasibility, validity and robustness of the presented scheme.

Mikro hidroelektrane smatraju se jednim od glavnih obnovljivih izvora energije. Ovakve elektrane su poglavito zanimljive pošto izbjegavaju dileme vezane za iseljavanje ljudi i utjecaj na okoliš. Međutim, njihov učinak na indeks frekvencije energetskih sustava može biti negativan zbog naglih manjih promijena u opterećenju i nesigurnosti parametara. Kako bi se unaprijedila učinkovitost, javlja se problem regulacije frekvencije i radne snage. Projektiranje regulatora po varijablama stanja sustava izazovan je problem, jer je mjerljiv samo dio stanja sustava. Ovajčlanak analizira problem upravljanja kliznim režimom rada reducirajući red modela sustava kod regulacije frekvencije i radne snage mikro hidroelektrana. Ovakve elektrane mogu raditi u samostalnom režimu rada ili biti spojene na distribucijsku mrežu. Za oba ražima rada prvo se istražuju matematički modeli te potom njihova redukcija. S obzirom na model reduciranog reda izvodi se upravljački zakon kliznog režima rada. Pošto se zakon upravljanja primjenjuje na izvorni sustav, dokazan je dovoljan uvjet za stabilnost u vidu teorije malog pojačanja. Simulacijski rezutati pokazuju izvedivost, ispravnost i robustnost predloženog pristupa.Ključne riječi: upravljanje frekvencijom i radnom snagom, mikro hidroelektrane, redukcija reda modela sustava, upravljanje u kliznog režimu rada

Due to advancements in power electronics and inverter topologies, the current controlled multilevel voltage-source pulse width modulated (PWM) inverter is usually preferred for accurate control, quick response and high dynamic performance. A multilevel topology approach is found to be best suited for overcoming many problems arising from the use of high power converters. This paper presents a comprehensive review and comparative study of several current control (CC) techniques for multilevel inverters with a special emphasis on various approaches of the hysteresis current controller. Since the hysteresis CC technique poses a problem of variable switching frequency, a ramp-comparator controller and a predictive controller to attain constant switching frequency are described along with its quantitative comparison. Furthermore, various methods have been reviewed to achieve hysteresis current control PWM with constant switching frequency operation. This paper complies various guidelines to choose a particular method suitable for application at a given power level, switching frequency and dynamic response.
