To alleviate the system oscillation resulting from such load changes, implementation of flexible AC transmission systems(FACTSs) can be considered as one of the practical and effective solutions. In this paper, a thyristor-controlled series compensator(TCSC), which is one series type of the FACTS family, is used to augment the overall dynamic performance of a multi-area multi-source interconnected power system. To this end, we have used a hierarchical adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system controller-TCSC(HANFISC-TCSC) to abate the two important issues in multi-area interconnected power systems, i.e., low-frequency oscillations and tie-line power exchange deviations. For this purpose, a multi-objective optimization technique is inevitable. Multi-objective particle swarm optimization(MOPSO) has been chosen for this optimization problem, owing to its high performance in untangling non-linear objectives. The efficiency of the suggested HANFISC-TCSC has been precisely evaluated and compared with that of the conventional MOPSO-TCSC in two different multi-area interconnected power systems, i.e., two-area hydro-thermal-diesel and three-area hydro-thermal power systems. The simulation results obtained from both power systems have transparently certified the high performance of HANFISC-TCSC compared to the conventional MOPSO-TCSC.展开更多

Maintenance mechanisms include normal mode, rolling element failure, seal failure and attrition-based. Experiments were carried out in three speeds: 1000, 15,000, 2000 RPM and two conditions. The sensor was mounted vertically and horizontally. Vibrating spectrum of the time domain and the frequency of vibration data were obtained. Thirty-three statistical parameters of vibration signals in frequency domain and time were chosen as the sources attribute to detect errors. Finally, the top three features as input vectors to the ANFIS were evaluated. Using statistical parameters the performance of the system was calculated with the experimental data and training of ANFIS model. The system could not provide a seal to identify the fault. Regardless of the vibration data obtained from the classification of the seal, the overall classification accuracy of the ANFIS was 99.14% in the amount of 100% of the sensor installed vertically and horizontally. The results showed that this system can be used as an intelligent diagnosis system.展开更多

Among renewable energies, solar energy represents the most important source, the most efficient and the least expensive compared to other renewable sources. Electric power generation systems from the sun’s energy typically characterized by their low efficiency. However, it is known that photovoltaic pumping systems are the most economical solution especially in rural areas. This work deals with the modeling and the vector control of a solar photovoltaic (PV) pumping system. The main objective of this study is to improve optimization techniques that maximize the overall efficiency of the pumping system. In order to optimize their energy efficiency whatever, the weather conditions, we inserted between the inverter and the photovoltaic generator (GPV) a maximum power point adapter known as Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). Among the various MPPT techniques presented in the literature, we adopted the adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller (ANFIS). In addition, the performance of the sliding vector control associated with the neural network was developed and evaluated. Finally, simulation work under Matlab / Simulink was achieved to examine the performance of a photovoltaic conversion chain intended for pumping and to verify the effectiveness of the speed control under various instructions applied to the system. According to the study, we have done on the improvement of sliding mode control with neural network. Note that the sliding-neuron control provides better results compared to other techniques in terms of improved chattering phenomenon and less deviation from its reference.展开更多
