This paper designs and implements a DSP-microprocessor based variable frequency motor drive. We control the induction motor with V/F scheme. This paper also analysis about Sine-PWM and Space-Vector-PWM. Compared with commonly used SPWM method, SVPWM has the advantages of higher voltage utilization, lower harmonic and lower switching loss. Also, it increases the efficiency of an inverter. To calculate duty cycle this paper support different update model, so symmetrical and asymmetrical PWM are generated. To analyse about spectra, and we can find the asymmetrical PWM restrain the harmonic.

Abstract: This paper designs and implements a DSP-microprocessor based motor driver. We control the induction motor with V/F scheme. And we module all circuits with PCB Layout.This Inverter is compose of digital board and analog-power board. We connect two parts, and we use a three phase induction motorto to be the load. Because the digital board is compose of DSP, it is to fit a lot of mathematics. It is easy to use the software to present the theory. So the paper compute the three phase gate signals with asymmetrical Pulse-Width-Modulation model.

The integration of signi cant levels of variable generation into the electricity grid has increased the complexity of power system operations. The strong unpredictability of variable generation poses an important operating complexity and demands an adequate dimensioning and deployment of system reserves. This work establishes su cient conditions for the dimensioning and deployment of adequate reserves. These conditions involve the determi- nation of reserve requirements and the design of a frequency control system consistent with such requirements. The analysis is divided into the adequacy of primary and secondary reserves, and simulations of ERCOT validated by empirical data are considered. Adequacy criteria from current practices are used to evaluate the performance of the formulation. / text

Frequency control systems are used to keep the grid frequency at the nominal value of 50.00 Hz. Vattenfall employ hydropower plants for this purpose as they can easily adapt their production to counteract frequency deviations. This master thesis focuses on trying to improve Vattenfall’s mechanism to provide FCR-N (Frequency Containment Reserve in Normal operation) for primary frequency control, i.e. the turbine governor. The efforts are made to operate the plants more efficiently, decreasing distribution losses and thus increasing the profits. The current control system was modelled in MATLAB’s simulation tool Simulink to understand its complexity and to be used as base for comparison. Then a new model was developed based on the idea to introduce a global governor for the frequency control in each plant which controls the input signal to the individual turbine governors of each unit. OPT-data (tabulated data indicating how to operate a plant at the highest possible efficiency) was used to determine how to optimally distribute the FCR-N among the active units in a plant in real-time. The conclusions which can be drawn from this master thesis are that it is possible to make a more optimal distribution of FCR-N in real-time. However, it has not been possible to make a good comparison between the two models and the results regarding the profits which can be made by introducing this new type of governor are therefore inconclusive. It is of crucial importance to make a better match of the regulating strengths of the two models in order to perform the comparison. Improving the parameter values for the proportional and integral gains of the individual controllers and the precision of the OPT-table lookups may further improve the new model and also make it possible to perform a valid comparison between the two models.

Thesis (MTech(Electrical engineering))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2000 / The development of an automatic frequency control system for a miniature high frequency induction furnace is described. A background study into the fields of induction-heating, resonance, power electronic resonant converters and phase locked-loops are performed with relevance to this research. An analysis of the resonant load circuit is performed by means of a combination of measurement and numerical simulations. The study of the load behavior and power source is used as a :001 to aid effective implementation of the automatic frequency control system. This Jimulation data is used to detenninc the operating frequency range of the RLL system. A background study is performed in whieh several frequency-control schemes for power electronic converters are investigated. A brief summary, in which the basic requirements for a frequency control system with regards to this research are presented. Two revisions of the Automatic Frequency Control system (RLL) were implemented, on the induction furnace. Experimental results on both systems (Revl and Rev2), illustrating the necessity for frequency control are also presented. Future suggestions for optimizing the loop performance are presented. Further steps in the developmental process of the miniature high frequencj induction furnace are also discussed.

Variations in the electricity consumption and production connected to the power system have to be balanced by active control. Hydropower is the most important balancing resource in the Nordic system, and will become even more important as the share of variable renewable energy sources increases. This thesis concerns balancing of active power, especially the real-time balancing called frequency control. The thesis starts in a description of the situation today, setting up models for the behaviour of hydropower units and the power system relevant to frequency control, and comparing the models with experiments on several hydropower units and on the response of the Nordic grid. It is found that backlash in the regulating mechanisms in hydropower units have a strong impact on the quality of the delivered frequency control. Then, an analysis of what can be done right now to improve frequency control and decrease its costs is made, discussing governor tuning, filters and strategies for allocation of frequency control reserves. The results show that grid frequency quality could be improved considerably by retuning of hydropower governors. However, clear technical requirements and incentives for good frequency control performance are needed. The last part of the thesis concerns the impact from increased electricity production from variable renewable energy sources. The induced balancing need in terms of energy storage volume and balancing power is quantified, and it is found that with large shares of wind power in the system, the energy storage need over the intra-week time horizon is drastically increased. Reduced system inertia due to higher shares of inverter connected production is identified as a problem for the frequency control of the system. A new, linear synthetic inertia concept is suggested to replace the lost inertia and damping. It is shown that continuously active, linear synthetic inertia can improve the frequency quality in normal operation and decrease wear and tear of hydropower units delivering frequency control.

This dissertation develops a word bank based on a series of well defined filters. The basis of this system is grapheme-phoneme relative frequency control. The word bank is designed to be used in developing reading materials at varied degrees of difficulty. Four short stories were edited as to their grapheme-phoneme relationships. Reading speed and reading comprehension were measured for each student on these stories. All students read a story in the original form and a story in the filtered version. No difference in reading comprehension were found, but reading speed was significantly higher on three of four stories.

In recent years, large investments have been made in wind power, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming decades. Integrating more wind power in the production mix offers great opportunities for the society, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the dependence on foreign fuel. Large wind power penetration does, however, require changes in the way power systems are planned and operated. The power transfers across the electrical grid are determined by the load and the production. A secure operation of power systems requires that these power transfers stay within certain limits. Frequency control schemes are crucial for ensuring the balance between the electric demand and the production. They enable system operators to re-dispatch the production (for example via the activation of balancing bids) during real-time operations to follow the load variations. With wind power, these frequency control schemes must not only meet the variations of the load but also those of the wind. An optimal use of the frequency control reserves would allow system operators to operate the system in the most cost effective and secure manner, that is, using the cheapest available resources while taking into account the stability limits of the system and the uncertainty. With no wind power, the load is the main source of uncertainty, and it can be forecasted accurately. This enables system operators to dispatch the generation in the most cost-effective way to meet the load while keeping the system within its stability limits. Adding wind power to power systems, on the other hand, introduces a new source of uncertainty on the production side, which is more difficult to forecast. The tools used today for computing the stability limits and operating the system do not consider the whole range of possible future load and wind power production levels, but only pick a few likely values in this range. In this work, we propose a new approach which accounts for the whole uncertainty in the load and wind power, and gives the optimal re-dispatch which ensures a given level of system security given this uncertainty. The approach is a so-called Stochastic Optimal Power Flow (S-OPF) formulation, developed in the scope of this project for the optimal activation of balancing bids. It is a nonlinear optimization problem with one probabilitistic constraint ensuring a certain level of system security -- computed as the probability that the system stays within its stability limits -- and whose objective function is the minimization of the generation re-dispatch. Compared to what is done today, the S-OPF formulation enables system operators to consider the uncertainty when making decisions. An approximation of the proposed S-OPF formulation is developed to render the problem tractable. In particular, the stability boundary, defined as the set of stability limits, is approximated by second-order approximations. The accuracy of these second-order approximations are analyzed in the IEEE 9 bus system by computing the distance between the actual boundary and its approximation. The S-OPF problem is then solved in the IEEE 39 bus system using the approximated stability boundaries. Monte Carlo simulations are run in order to assess the accuracy of the approximation and check whether the optimal solution of the approximation does ensure the specified level of system security. / <p>QC 20121121</p>

L’intégration croissante de la production éolienne ne participant pas au réglage de fréquence induit de nouvelles difficultés de gestion des systèmes électriques. Ces problèmes sont d’autant plus significatifs que le réseau est faible. La présente thèse vise à évaluer la performance et la fiabilité du réglage de fréquence des éoliennes à l’échelle du système électrique. Les études sont appliquées sur un réseau insulaire.D’abord, l’impact d’un fort taux de pénétration de la production éolienne sur l’allocation de la réserve primaire et sur le comportement dynamique du réseau est caractérisé. Il est montré que la participation des éoliennes au réglage de fréquence est techniquement indispensable pour le maintien de la sûreté du système électrique à partir d’un certain taux de pénétration. Deux solutions permettant aux éoliennes de contribuer au réglage de fréquence sont ensuite étudiées par simulations dynamiques. La performance d’une inertie émulée est caractérisée en considérant l’impact du point de fonctionnement initial des éoliennes et des paramètres du contrôleur. La contribution de la réserve éolienne à l’amélioration de la performance dynamique du système est également identifiée.Afin d’évaluer le potentiel et la fiabilité de la réserve éolienne, la dernière partie de ce travail est consacrée aux études statistiques prenant en compte la variabilité et l’incertitude de la prévision de la production. Deux stratégies du placement de réserve sont proposées et comparées. L’impact des erreurs de prévision sur le potentiel de réserve éolienne est également mis en évidence. Enfin l’énergie réglante d’une ferme et la plage de réglage du statisme éolien sont caractérisées / The increasing development of wind power that does not participate in frequency control leads to new challenges in the management of electrical power systems. The problems are more significant in weak power grids. The present thesis aims to evaluate the performance and the reliability of frequency response from wind turbines on a system-wide scale. Studies are applied onto an isolated power grid.First of all, the impact of high levels of wind penetration on primary reserve allocation and on grid dynamic behaviour is characterized. It is shown that the participation of wind turbines in frequency regulation is technically required for maintaining power system security from a certain wind penetration rate.Two solutions allowing wind turbines to contribute to frequency control are then studied through dynamic simulations. The performance of emulated inertia is characterized by taking into account the impact of initial wind operating point and controller parameters. The contribution of wind power reserve to system dynamic performance improvement is also identified.In order to assess the potential and the reliability of wind primary reserve, the last part of this research work is devoted to statistical analyses considering the variability and the prediction uncertainty of wind generation. Two strategies for reserve allocation are proposed and compared. The impact of forecast errors on the potential of wind power reserve is also highlighted. Finally the power frequency characteristic of a wind farm as well as the droop adjustment range is characterized
