The fast increase of loads around the world has made electrical networks more and more complex and difficult to operate close to its capacities. This is has led to many problems such as voltage collapse and energy losses. Therefore, flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) are considred as a best solution for solving these problems. Unified Power Flow Controller UPFC is one of the most important and powerful FACTS devices due to its ability to increase the transmission capacity of the power system and reduce the total line losses. The problem of optimizing its number, location and size has become an important requirement for best advantages of this device. In this paper, a proposed relationship to identify the maximum number of FACTS devices that can be installed for a given power network is introduced in the search process code to determine the optimal number, optimal placement and size of UPFC device to enhance voltages profile and reduce overall system losses in the standard IEEE 14 bus test system using genetic algorithm (GA). The obtained results show clearly that all control parameters of UPFCs in each case are within their limits, and whenever the number of UPFCs installed increases, both voltage deviation and total losses well decreases. They also show that the application of the proposed relationship in the search process code facilitates greatly the search for optimal number, optimal placement and size of UPFC devices and reduces the calculation time. On the other hand, the obtained results has been scientifically justified and compared with other works reported in the literature.
Renewable energy is high on international agendas. Currently, grid-connected photovoltaic systems are a popular technology to convert solar energy into electricity. Control of power injected into the grid, maximum power point, high efficiency, and low total harmonic distortion of the currents injected into the grid are the requirements for inverter connection into the grid. Consequently, the performance of the inverters connected to the grid depends largely on the control strategy applied. In this paper the simulation and design of grid connected three phase photovoltaic system using Matlab/Simulink has examined. The proposed system consists photovoltaic panels, boost and inverter the PV system convert the sun irradiation into direct current, thereafter we have used a boost to track the maximum power point of the PV system, three-phase inverter and LC output filter. A VOC control strategy based on the phase shifting of the inverter output voltage with respect to the grid voltage. The proposed control strategy requires few hardware and computational resources. As a result, the inverter implementation is simple, and it becomes an attractive solution for low power grid connected applications.
The development of renewable energy contributes to the global objectives of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, obtaining and increasing our energy efficiency. In the face of these changes, the electric-network must adapt, while maintaining a high level of reliability and a quality of energy production. To meet this objective, it is recommended to use highly developed electrical network by integrating renewable energy sources in order to adapt the energy consumption to their production, using electro-technical software information and telecommunications technologies. We are talking about intelligent grids (Smart Grid). The main objective of the work presented in this paper is the contribution to the study of intelligent network for efficient management of energy produced by several sources linked to the AC bus via the voltage inverters. Numerical simulations have been presented to validate the performance of the proposed active and reactive power controller (Droop Control).
