This work demonstrates the theoretical and experimental feasibility of a induction generator to work as an attenuator of the harmonics in main generators of on the electric power system, i.e., the synchronous generators. The induction and synchronous machines were analyzed in physical terms and established mathematical modeling in the frequency domain in order to prove the purpose of the thesis. Computer simulations were also carried out in the time domain and laboratory tests were made to check levels of attenuation of current harmonics (THDi) in accordance with the maximum standardized voltage harmonic distortion (THDv). Furthermore, this work presents a study of technical and economical feasibility of a typical application. Este trabalho demonstra a viabilidade teórica e experimental de um gerador de indução funcionar como um atenuador dos harmônicos nos geradores principais do sistema elétrico de potência, ou seja, os geradores síncronos. Foram analisadas as máquinas de indução e síncronas do ponto de vista físico e estabelecidas modelagens matemáticas no domínio da frequência, a fim de comprovar o objetivo da tese. Foram realizadas também´em, simulações computacionais no domínio do tempo e ensaios em laboratório para verificar os n´níveis de atenuação de harmônicos de corrente (THDi) em conformidade com os limites máximos de distorções harmônicas de tensão (THDv) normalizados. Apresenta-se também neste trabalho um estudo de viabilidade técnica e econômica de uma aplicação típica. Doutor em Ciências

Due to varying structure, random load demands, nonlinearities, parameters ambiguity, steadily escalating size and intricacy of the interconnected power system (IPS), automatic generation control (AGC) is treated as one of the biggest crucial issues in IPS. Hence, expert, intelligent and robust control scheme is indispensable for stable operation of IPS and supply of electricity under sudden load demand disturbances. In vision of this, in this work, a novel cascade fuzzy-proportional integral derivative incorporating filter (PIDN)-fractional order PIDN (FPIDN-FOPIDN) controller is offered as an expert control strategy to deal effectively with AGC issue of IPS. Imperialist competitive algorithm is prolifically utilized for optimizing the controller parameters. Initially, a two area non-reheat thermal IPS is studied in detail and next to attest the efficacy of the technique, the study is extended to realistic two-area multi-source thermal-hydro-gas and reheat thermal three-area systems. The prominent benefit of cascade FPIDN-FOPIDN strategy comprises its great lethargy to large load demands and its supremacy over various latest intelligent classical/fuzzy controllers. The control strategy beats several techniques concerning significant lesser settling time, oscillations, over/under shoots and different performance index values. Finally, a robustness investigation is performed in order to validate the robustness of the controller. (C) 2020 Karabuk University. Publishing services by Elsevier B.V.
