Contribution to Asymmetrical Compensation through Parallel Controllers of FACTS (STATCOM)—IPC 240 Dual for a Power Transmission Line

This work is part of the resolution of problems encountered on a 225 KV MANGOMBE-OYOMABANG line. This line is characterized by important technical losses, so that the voltage injected in the busbar is always lower than 200kV. The main objective of this work is to show the new solutions that can provide a combined FACTS-STATCOM and IPC 240 dual system on this line. Then to show the limitation of STATCOM compared to RPI 240. The results obtained allowed us to observe that in symmetrical operation the STATCOM improves the voltage profile on the busbar and in asymmetrical operation we found that it continues to regulate the voltage of each phase despite the unbalance. But the system remains too unbalanced because of the sequence current flow. The IPC 240 corrects this limitation, allowing asymmetrical operation of the line in an emergency while providing continuous service to the load.

Reliability of the MPPT Control on the Energy Parameters of a Photovoltaic Generator

This article describes a technique that allows a photovoltaic (PV) production unit to obtain the maximum power at all times. Here, we use the MPPT control via fuzzy logic on a DC/DC boost-type converter. In order to achieve our goals, we first proceeded to model a PV panel. The resulting model offers the possibility to better account for the influence of different physical quantities such as temperature, irradiation, series resistance, shunt resistance and diode saturation current. Thus, the maximum power to be provided by the PV system is acquired by fuzzification and defuzzification of the input and output variables of the converter. Subsequently, a virtual model of an 800 Watt PV prototype is implemented in the Matlab environment. The simulation results obtained and presented, show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed technology. Indeed, for a disturbance caused by a variation in brightness, our system guarantees the maximum stable power after 1.4 s. While for a load variation, the maximum power is continuous.

Comparative Analysis of Hybrid Controllers of Done Systems (UPFC) and Interphase Power Regulators Type RPI 30p15 on Contingency Management in Electrical Networks

The aim of this work is to demonstrate that interphase power regulators (IPR) bring new and interesting ultra-solutions that complement those already taken into account by the FACTS (Flexible Alternative Transmission System) in the resolution of the problems related to the power flow in the AC transmission networks. In order to facilitate the understanding of this work, a comparative study of the performances of the two technologies between the UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) and RPI was carried out and at the end of which we were able to highlight the preponderance of RPI compared to the UPFC in the bypassing of the short-circuit fault insofar as the latter allows, in particular, an increase in the transformation capacity without an increase in the level of the short-circuit. The decoupled watt-var method has been used to control the UPFC while the RPI is controlled by phase shift. The simulation results are obtained in the Matlab Simulink environment and show the flexibility of the RPI compared to the UPFC in limiting strong contingencies.
