In this work, the author discusses development of the Smart Electric Power System (SEPS) Laboratory at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). The fully reconfigurable six-bus, three-phase power system hardware operates with ratings of 208 (at 60 Hz) and 0.2 kW. It is composed of various synchronous generators with associated prime movers, induction motors with associated dynamometers, transformers, transmission lines, contactors, constant-impedance loads, renewable generation-emulator modules, battery storage devices, and appropriate power electronic converters. The SEPS lab significantly expands the ability of faculty and students at TCNJ to study energy problems, providing a sound foundation for the institution's small but growing power engineering program. The National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation Program provided external funding for the hardware.

“…Most projections of future energy supplies predict that renewable resources [1] will play a small but increasing role in total energy supply over the next 30 years. Experts claim that renewable resources could realistically supply a larger share of the world energy needs under the right circumstances.…”

Grid Synchronization Phase-Locked Loop Strategy for Unbalance and Harmonic Distortion Conditions

The synthesis, design and analysis of a threephase phase-locked loop (PLL) algorithm under grid voltage uncertainties is presented. Unlike other techniques, the proposed strategy is simple but yet, robust against unbalanced and distorted voltage conditions. The method does not rely on the symmetry of the three-phase voltages, like conventional PLL implementation techniques. Under phase lock, the reference voltage and the output voltage are in synchronism, hence they cross the zero axis at the same time. The proposed PLL implementation exploits this fact, by counting the difference between the zero crossing times of the grid voltage and the output voltage waveform, and generating an error signal proportional to this difference. This error is fed into a PI regulator which forces it to zero over time. The proposed algorithm is compared against two popular PLL techniques. Simulation and experimental results show better performance of the proposed PLL implementation in unbalanced grid voltage conditions.
