Abstract:
The aim of proposed special session is to bring together researchers/academia and practicing engineers in power electronics industry for sharing their innovative ideas for fostering the new research and development in this area. The importance of renewable energy based distributed power generation system have increased manifold in recent years. The power quality (PQ) issues in distributed power generation system are a major concern for customers. The role of power electronics based custom power devices such as voltage source converter is to mitigate the PQ issues and make the system more reliable and practically feasible. The operation of voltage source converter is dependent on the control algorithm used for estimating the modulating signal followed by Pulse width modulation techniques that is used for gate pulses generation. Therefore, this create awareness among teachers, research students and industry persons about better utilization of distributed power generation system by making it more efficient with the use of power electronics. This is intended to cover all the traditional as well as advanced control algorithms of power filtering and their control including modeling and simulations. The application of various converter topologies in solar and wind power generation is the thrust area of this session. The adaptive control, model predictive control, fuzzy based controllers, artificial intelligence based control algorithm and optimization techniques application for estimating the error regulator gains are the focus area for estimating the reference current. The authors can submit their research articles mentioned above, however there is no restriction for some innovative applications used in the domain of wind or solar based distributed power generation system.
