In this paper we overview the modern forecast methods of monthly sunspot numbers, such as McNish-Lincoln and Hathaway-Wilson-Reichmann standard curve-fitting. Their disadvantages are presented, leading us to the necessity of researching a new technique for the solar activity prediction. For the long-term forecast we propose to use the established nonlinear dynamo model based on negative effective...
Electricity deregulation has caused rapid changes in electricity market structure. Vertically integrated utility which performed all the functions including generation, transmission, distribution and retail services are now disaggregated into separate companies devoted to each function. The main goal of this deregulation is to enhance competition and provide new choices and economic benefits to the...
For the allocation of unbalanced power when the loads change in the Multi-terminal HVDC transmission system, a DC voltage slope control strategy considering the Optimal Unbalanced Power Allocation (OUPA) is proposed. The control strategy using hierarchical control includes processing layer and implementation layer. In the processing layer, a mathematical model of unbalanced power allocation is established,...
Power systems are nonlinear dynamic systems, in which the chaotic modes occurrence is possible. Chaotic modes are potentially dangerous for the equipment, the system stability and survivability as a whole. We consider the possibility of timely chaotic modes detection of electric power systems due to the system parameters bifurcations. The research task and early detection of such modes are important...
For power system operation, transient stability analysis is indispensable. Of late, electric power systems have become more complicated; thus, fast transient stability analyses are critical for online computations. In this paper, we apply the Taylor series expansion to a time domain equal-area criterion applicable to multimachine systems and propose a fast transient stability analysis method that...
In deregulated electricity market, economic allocation of transmission loss to the generators and the loads in a fair way is a tremendous challenge for power engineers. This paper presents a methodology to price the real power loss due to bilateral contracts considering reactive power drawn by the loads. The real power loss is divided into two components namely transaction loss component and reactive...
This paper describes a latent space understandable network: Self- excited Generative Adversarial Network (Self- ExGAN), a novel self- excited structure based on adversarial learning. Compared with the conventional generative adversarial networks, SelfExGAN consists of three components, which are en- coder (E), generator (G), and discriminator (D). Different from other papers which directly apply reconstruction...
This paper proposes a kind of hierarchical fault-tolerant controller design methods for networked control systems subject to input saturation and actuator failures. The structure of the whole system includes an alarm signal generator and a hierarchy fault-tolerant controller. The alarm signal is used to invoke the controllers with different hierarchy levels of failures. Besides, in order to save the...
This paper illustrates the implementation and the study of a hybrid electric power system based on a 10kW-diesel generator associated to renewable energy sources including a 10kW wind turbine, 12kW photovoltaic, and 53Ah lithium-battery. These energy production sources are interfaced to micro-grid through three-level power electronics converters where the phase-to-phase RMS voltage is 600V. The variable...
It is difficult to obtain failure data in stability analysis of long lifetime gyro such as hemispherical resonator gyro. Therefore, traditional stability analysis methods based on failure data is useless in stability analysis of long lifetime gyro. A stability analysis method based on probability statistics is proposed in this paper to solve this problem. In this method, Weibull distribution is applied...
The motivation of this research arises from the design of a low scale electric generation project, where a poly-phase generator is designed to harvest the energy from static exercise machines.

The use of this kind of machine, cheap and robust, is in line with the “jugaad” philosophy, better known as frugal innovation. In such an application, three-phase induction machines are usually operated as stand-alone single-phase generator which are either self-excited using terminal...

The paper analyzes the capability of synchronous reluctance generators to achieve successful self-excitation when operating in stand-alone systems. To initiate the self-excitation process, the machine steel core has to retain sufficient residual flux during the generator start-up. This residual flux depends on the magnetic properties of the machine core as well as the previous machine operating condition...

Notably, a topological approach to model a Wind Turbine is adopted in this study. The Wind Turbine model under study is modeled using a topological...
The value of sub-transient reactance depends on the design of damper winding or amortissuer. All synchronous generators have sub-transient reactants even though it does not have damper winding physically. The damper winding can contribute to reduce the sub-transient current when generator in fault condition. The generator quantitative parameters are used to perform the simulation using MATLAB/Simulink...
Dynamic programming is an effective technique for the evaluation of the potential of optimal fuel consumption of drive trains, as it guarantees a globally optimal solution.
