Performance Improvement of Weak Grid-Connected Wind Energy System Using FLSRF-Controlled DSTATCOM

Gajendra Singh Chawda, Abdul Gafoor Shaik, Om Prakash Mahela, Sanjeevikumar Padmanaban

Summary: This article proposes a method to improve the power quality (PQ) in weak grids with wind energy (WE) penetration using additional distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM). The method utilizes fuzzy logic (FL) controller and feedforward block of the WE source to adapt to changes associated with wind speed and estimate switching signals for DSTATCOM. MATLAB simulation and experimental studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in enhancing PQ performance of weak grid-connected WE sources in the presence of nonlinear loads.

Power Quality Detection and Categorization Algorithm Actuated by Multiple Signal Processing Techniques and Rule-Based Decision Tree

Surendra Singh, Avdhesh Sharma, Akhil Ranjan Garg, Om Prakash Mahela, Baseem Khan, Ilyes Boulkaibet, Bilel Neji, Ahmed Ali, Julien Brito Ballester

Summary: This paper presents a power quality detection and categorization algorithm that combines multiple signal processing techniques and a rule-based decision tree. The algorithm aims to accurately identify PQ events of simple nature and higher order multiplicity with less computational time. It utilizes the Stockwell transform and Hilbert transform to compute PQ detection indices and the Discrete Wavelet transform for classification feature indices. A combined PQ detection index is calculated by combining these indices. The algorithm successfully detects and categorizes various PQ events and is also tested on a practical distribution utility network. The algorithm's performance is evaluated and compared with a DWT-based technique in terms of accuracy, computational time, and multiplicity of PQ events. Simulation is performed using MATLAB software.
