Experimental design of a fuzzy controller for improving power factor of boost rectifier

This article presents the design and the implementation of dSPACE DS1104 controller board-based PI and fuzzy logic peak current-mode controllers in the voltage loop and two controllers in the current loop based first on a standard fixed hysteresis band control, followed by a variable hysteresis band control to achieve constant switching frequency for a single-phase active power factor corrector in the continuous conduction mode. All these controllers have been verified via simulation in Simulink and a real-time implementation is performed on an experimental test bench utilising a rapid prototyping tool. The controllers are experimentally compared for steady-state performance and transient response. It is shown that the PI and fuzzy logic controllers give a superior steady-state performance, whereas the fuzzy logic inference based controller can achieve better dynamic response than its PI counterpart under large load disturbance and plant uncertainties. Furthermore, the variable hysteresis band control in the current loop gives a low total harmonic distortion of the input current compared to a standard fixed hysteresis band control.

Surface sliding mode controller for chaotic oscillation in power system with power disturbance

With the rapid development of the power industry,the possibility of chaotic oscillation increases in the power system,and the importance of maintaining the stability of the power system is prominent.Through a fourth-order power system model with power perturbation term built,the Lyapunov exponent spectrum,bifurcation diagram and spectral entropy were analyzed,respectively.The influence of power disturbance terms on power system motion was discussed in detail.Moreover,a dynamic surface sliding mode controller was designed based on the switching function with relay characteristics.Simulation results show that the controller can suppress the chaotic oscillation quickly and smoothly,and effectively avoid chattering and own strong robustness.     

Comparative analysis of maximum power point tracking controller for wind energy system

This paper proposes an adaptive maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control method to achieve the maximum power from the wind turbine (WT) power generation system. The MPPT control method has a vital role to find the maximum power point, and also compute the simulation results in both analysis such as offline using MATLAB/SIMULINK? and online using OPAL-RT simulator. The proposed adaptive perturb and observe (P&;O) algorithm provides better results using the OPAL-RT simulator compared to the P&;O method using MATLAB/SIMULINK?. The power generation through doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) WT system is becoming important day by day throughout the world. The simulation result by OPAL-RT simulator showed that the efficiency of WT-DFIG has been enhanced.
