Abstract MigroGrid (MG) has emerged to resolve the growing demand for energy. But because of its inconsistent output, it can result in various power quality (PQ) issues. PQ is a problem that is becoming more and more important for the reliability of power systems that use renewable energy sources. Similarly, the employment of nonlinear loads will introduce harmonics into the system and, as a result, cause distortions in the current and voltage waveforms as well as low power quality issues in the supply system. Thus, this research focuses on power quality enhancement in the MG using hybrid shunt filters. However, the… More >

Abstract The power factor is the ratio between the active and apparent power, and it is available to determine the operational capability of the intended circuit or the parts. The excitation current of the synchronous motor is an essential parameter required for adjusting the power factor because it determines whether the motor is under the optimal operating status. Although the excitation current should predict with the experimental devices, such a method is unsuitable for online real-time prediction. The artificial intelligence algorithm can compensate for the defect of conventional measurement methods requiring the measuring devices and the model optimization is compared during… More >

Abstract The voltage fluctuation in electric circuits has been identified as key issue in different electric systems. As the usage of electricity growing in rapid way, there exist higher fluctuations in power flow. To maintain the flow or stability of power in any electric circuit, there are many circuit models are discussed in literature. However, they suffer to maintain the output voltage and not capable of maintaining power stability. To improve the performance in power stabilization, an efficient IC pattern based power factor maximization model (ICPFMM) in this article. The model is focused on improving the power stability with the use… More >

Abstract The number of attacks is growing tremendously in tandem with the growth of internet technologies. As a result, protecting the private data from prying eyes has become a critical and tough undertaking. Many intrusion detection solutions have been offered by researchers in order to decrease the effect of these attacks. For attack detection, the prior system has created an SMSRPF (Stacking Model Significant Rule Power Factor) classifier. To provide creative instance detection, the SMSRPF combines the detection of trained classifiers such as DT (Decision Tree) and RF (Random Forest). Nevertheless, it does not generate any accurate findings that are adequate.… More >

Abstract The Power Factor Correction (PFC) in Switched Reluctance (SR) motor is discussed in this article. The SR motors are applicable for multiple applications like electric vehicles, wind mills, machineries etc. The doubly salient structure of SR motor causes the occurrence of torque ripples, which affects the power factor of the motor. To improve the power quality, the power factor has to be corrected and the ripples have to be minimized. In order to achieve these objectives, a novel power factor correction (PFC) method is proposed in this work. Here, the conventional Diode Bridge Rectifier (DBR) is replaced by a Bridgeless… More >

Abstract Induction motor drives (IMDs) can achieve high performance levels comparable to dc motor drives. A major problem in getting high dynamic performance in an IMD is the coupling between the flux and torque producing components of stator current. This is successfully overcome in FOC (Field-Oriented Control) IM, making it to the industry standard control. The performance of an IMD with an improved power quality converter at the front end is presented in this study. In the IMD, boost converter is employed to reduce power quality difficulties at the utility interface. As the boost converter contains only one switch, it results… More >

Abstract Bridgeless single-stage converters are used for efficient (alternative current) AC-(direct current) DC conversion. These converters control generators, like electromagnetic meso- and micro-scale generators with low voltage. Power factor correction helps increase the factor of the power supply. The main advantage of the power factor is it shapes the input current for increasing the real power of the AC supply. In this paper, a two-switch bridgeless rectifier topology is designed with a power factor correction capability. For the proposed converter topology to have good power quality parameters, the closed loop scheme, which uses the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, is implemented.… More >

Abstract The scope of this research is to manage the speed of Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor Drive (PMBLDCMD) for various less capacity applications. In the circuit, a 1ϕ AC power is given to Diode Rectifier and the converted DC supply is given to condenser, which leads to abnormal pulsating current. Because of this pulsating current, the power quality disturbances arise at the supply point. Hence, the PMBLDCMD requires Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter for many household and profitable applications. The rotors of PMBLDCMD are driven by 3ϕ voltage source inverter (VSI), which performs electronic commutation. The range of PFC converter… More >

Abstract This paper presents an efficient supply current wave shaping technique for bridgeless interleaved Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC). The SEPIC converter converts an Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC) with the boost converter. Power Factor Correction (PFC) is progressively significant to achieve high energy efficiency. The overall system efficiency can be increased as the bridgeless topology has less conduction losses from rectifying bridges. Also, the bridgeless and interleaved techniques are incorporated in this study to achieve better performance. The performance of the system is analyzed on both current control and sensor-less techniques. Different controllers such as Proportional Integral… More >
