    Phoomvuthisarn, S.
    This paper presents the design and development of the computer algorithm based on LabVIEW for verification of a high voltage measuring system. The algorithm consists of two parts. The first part is a program for calculating the parameters of unit step responses which are verified an ability of the measuring system by a comparison with the values given in IEC 60060-2. The second part is a program for calculating the output voltage waveform by time convolutions between standard testing waveforms and unit step responses. The standard waveforms under investigation are full lightning impulse voltage waveforms, tail-chopped lightning impulse voltage waveforms, front-chopped lightning impulse voltage waveforms and steep-front voltage waveforms according to IEC standards 60060-2 and 61211. This paper considers two different types of the measuring systems, with a resistive voltage divider and a damped capacitive voltage divider for testings. The results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper is practicable, and should be a useful tool for impulse voltage measurements in a standard high voltage laboratory.

    Implementation of fuzzy logic controller with bifurcation control of a current-mode boost converter

    This paper presents the design of a basic fuzzy logic controller for switching current-mode DC/DC boost converters. The proposed simple fuzzy logic controllers used only nine rules to regulate output voltage. Moreover, they provide an optimal slope compensation to keep the system adequately remote from the first bifurcation point by mean of stabilizing around the reference signal. In spite of nonlinear characteristics and instabilities of the converter, the performance of the closed-loop control system can be considerably improved to avoid bifurcation phenomena. The experimental results found that these technique introduced in this paper give satisfactory results with the regulating and tracking modes under changes in operating conditions. © 2007 IEEE.

    This paper presents generalized equations for determining an aggregation model to represent a group of induction motors connected in the same bus of industrial power systems. The model is employed in calculating short circuit current contribution with different types of faults from the group of induction motors. The simulation and analysis are performed using PSCAD/EMTDC. Various case studies are used to implement the model. It is found that the aggregation model proposed in the paper can give reasonable and satisfactory results for short circuit contribution due to the induction motor loads. © 2004 IEEE.

    This paper presents a design of the cable connector used in partial discharge and dielectric loss tests. The body of the connector is constructed using the acrylic tube and PVC, and the oil is used as an insulating medium. In order to implement the connector, partial discharges and the dielectric loss (tan δ) of a cable are tested according to IEC standards. It is found that the cable connector proposed can give the satisfactory and reasonably accurate results from the measurements. In addition, the cost of the construction of the connector developed is cheaper than that of the commercial module.

    In this paper, the robust control design of pitch controller for frequency control in a hybrid wind-diesel power generation system is proposed. The structure of the pitch controller is a 1<sup>st</sup>-order lead-lag compensator. To take system uncertainties into account, the coprime factorization is applied in system modeling. To obtain the controller parameters, the performance and stability conditions of H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping technique are used to formulate the optimization problem. The genetic algorithm is employed to solve the problem. Simulation studies show the frequency control effect and robustness of the proposed controller against system uncertainties in comparison with a variable structure pitch control. ©2008 IEEE.

    Grid-connected photovoltaic system with maximum power point tracking using self-organizing fuzzy logic controller

    This paper presents the design of a controller for the maximum power point tracking of a grid-connected photovoltaic energy conversion system. A boost converter is used in the system to deliver the output from the solar array to DC-AC inverter, and feed the power into the AC grid. A self-organizing fuzzy logic controller is introduced for the tracking algorithm. The duty ratio for the operation of the boost converter is optimally adjusted in such a way that the maximum power point, which normally varies according to the environment, can be achieved. We demonstrate via the simulation results that our proposed technique outperforms over the conventional fuzzy logic controller in terms of tracking speed and transient response. Furthermore, the algorithm implementation can be done using a look-up table, hence a high-performance, cost-effective real-time maximum power point tracking can be simply realized. © 2005 IEEE.

    Control of bifurcation by fuzzy logic controller for current-mode boost converters

    This paper presents the design of a fuzzy logic controller for switching current-mode DC/DC boost converters. The proposed simple fuzzy logic controller, with nine rules, provides an optimal slope compensation to keep the system adequately remote from the first bifurcation point by means of reducing the current spectrum peak. In spite of nonlinear characteristics and instabilities of the converter, the performance of the closed-loop control system can be considerably improved to avoid bifurcation phenomena. It is found that the technique introduced in this paper gives satisfactory results with the regulating and tracking modes under changes in operating conditions. © 2006 IEEE.

    This paper applies the synchronized phasor measurement units (PMUs) based wide-area monitoring system to analyze the power system event under the occurrence of large disturbance. The salient feature of the monitoring system is the convenient installation of PMU at 220 V home outlet. The power system event given here is the tripping of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link between Thailand and Malaysia due to the fault in a thyristor room at Khlong Ngae converter station of Thailand side on July 22, 2005. The discrete wavelet decomposition and short-time Fourier Transform have been applied to analyze the characteristic of the inter-area oscillation between central and southern areas in both time and frequency domains. Analyzed results based on PMUs data are consistent with the actual tie-line power flow between both areas.

    This paper presents the development of a maximum power point tracking algorithm using an artificial neural network for a solar power system. By applying a three layers neural network and some simple activation functions, the maximum power point of a solar array can be efficiently tracked. The tracking algorithm integrated with a solar-powered battery charging system has been successfully implemented on a low-cost PIC16F876 RISC-microcontroller without external sensor unit requirement. The experimental results with a commercial solar array show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional controller in terms of tracking speed and mitigation of fluctuation output power in steady state operation. The overall system efficiency is well above 90%.

    In this paper, the robust control design of power system stabilizer (PSS) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) for enhancement of power system dynamic stability is proposed. To take system uncertainties such as variations of system parameters, several loading conditions etc., into account, the normalized coprime factorization is used to represent unstructured uncertainties in the system. The H∞ loop shaping technique is applied to design robust PSS and TCSC controllers. Simulation results in a single machine infinite bus system show that the performance and robustness of the proposed H∞ controllers of PSS and TCSC are superior to those of the conventional PSS and TCSC. © 2008 IEEE.
