Abstract: The traditional approach to modelling complex power plants often leads to cumbersome, expensive and inefficient models. This paper is concerned with the development of a systematic, hierarchical and modular modelling procedure and advanced control system design for large power plants. The system component defined by a generic nonlinear dynamic structure is arranged in a hierarchical structure with the appropriate communication interface. The nonlinear dynamic model is then employed to produce steady-state models and linear models, which can be used to investigate the transient characteristics, stability behaviour and control requirements. Advanced control methods are then proposed to optimally implement a desired set point change whilst satisfying operational variable constraints. In common with many process control applications, it is not possible to move from one power plant operating condition to another instantaneously. Previous ad-hoc methods to automate the transition usually involve ramping the set point over some pre-determined time horizon and implicitly satisfying the operational and safety constraints. The design of optimal methods for the implementation of future set points trajectories is addressed here using the techniques of Model Based Predictive Control (MBPC) for large-scale systems. A generic unit of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit is employed as an example.

Abstract: The paper presents aspects concerning two iterative methods in control design: the Iterative Feedback Tuning (IFT) and the Iterative Learning Control (ILC) approaches. The IFT is focused on a new generalized formulation that minimizes an objective function resulting in both controller and reference model tuning. The ILC is expressed as several structures including the original simplified norm-optimal ILC. The theoretical results are validated in case of PI controllers for servo systems with second-order integral type controlled plants and real-time experiments are included. The combination between IFT or ILC and fuzzy control is successful in applications leading to performance enhancement.

Abstract: In hydro power plants from Romania, there is a major interest for the implementation of digital systems for monitoring and control replacing the conventional control systems for power, frequency and voltage. Therefore is necessary to develop mathematical models capable to accurately describe both dynamic and stationary behaviour of the hydro units, in order to be able to implement digital control algorithms. Moreover, it is necessary to implement systems for monitoring and control of hydro power plants in a cascade system along a river, in order to optimize the use of the river resources. This paper presents the possibilities of modelling and simulation of the hydro power plants and performs an analysis of different control structures and algorithms.

Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of bounded state feedback stabilization and observers design of a class of nonlinear discrete-time delay systems. From an appropriate Lyapunov function and judicious mathematical manipulations, we deduce a simple LMI conditions (that may be checked easily) to ensure asymptotic stability of both the state feedback and the observer. First, we provide an explicit bounded state feedback law that may seen as generalization of the existing results in the nonlinear field. On the other hand, we present a useful and systematic approach to design observers for discrete-time systems with unknown delay. To illustrate performances of the proposed approach, a numerical example is provided.

Abstract: The paper uses fuzzy set theory to obtain some fuzzy models which can be useful, each, as a decision - support to estimate an electrical energy (EE) price for consumers. In the same time, according to us, the paper can be a possible benchmark example of approximate reasoning, used as a fuzzy decision-support systems. All three fuzzy tariff models developed in fuzzy environment, Integrate some specific features of a deregulated electricity market, as in Romania in this transition period: i) in the market in only a single "seller", SC Electrica SA (SCESA), i.e. a single-supplier of electrical energy; ii) because of this, the consumers interests, beginning with 1999, are protected by the National Authority of Settlements from Energy (NASE) through some (social) compulsions; iii) the average price of EE ($/MWh) near our market place is, obviously a real problem (in our case the markets are from: Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia and Moldavia). Not being a competitive environment, the normal practice used in NASE rules as method of EE pricing are average costs, i.e. total sales. The fuzzy method shows how it is possible to perform sensitivity tests on the EE price function model (by changing the parameters of SCESA and NASE), until can obtain an acceptable and true price can be obtained. In this aim, the three fuzzy models use different rules for pricing: canservative, aggressive, and different order of words concerning the rules, and finally doing a comparation among prices and models. Though the paper will not exhaust all fuzzy rules, doubtlessly, create a way of fuzzy reasoning as a modality to find an EE price.

Abstract: The paper deals with the simulation and implementation of AC-drives with synchronous and induction motors fed by a local distribution DC-line, which is supplied from an autonomous vector controlled synchronous generator. The main AC-grid is connected to DC-line the via ecological power electronic converters with bi-directional power flow, like the AC-drives and the generator. Solutions are proposed for sine-wave rectifying and inverting of the energy accomplishing grid-side unity power-factor with active power-filtering of the AC-grid- and motor-side currents for different transferred energy levels. The energy-efficiency of the drives is achieved by means of vector control structures.

Abstract: To improve the control quality of conventional PID controller used in complex control system, a new design strategy of fuzzy-PID controller is proposed. The tuning method based on the specified phase and gain margin is proposed to determine the parameters of the new fuzzy PID controller. Using fuzzy inference methods, the Fuzzy PID parameters can be adaptively adjusted on line for varying state of the system and changing operating condition. The strategy, which is implemented based on the Function Code on many typical Distributed Control System (DCS). The industrial application results show that many complex control system that uses this design strategy can effectively reduce the debugging time and has better control performance.

Abstract: For power system Oscillatory instability assessment, knowledge of Dominant eigenvalues and oscillatory mode of system is essential. In this paper, a new methods is suggested which uses acquired data from online measuring to determine dominant poles and analyze stability of system. Since general fault that occur in power system could be assumed as unknown step disturbance, in this method online measuring is used to develop a fully identified model of system in the case of undetermined disturbances and particularly unknown step inputs. This method was implemented on input-output extracted data from Simulated Iran power network Model with DIgSILENT software.

Abstract: This paper presents the principles of a Home Automation System dedicated to power management that adapts power consumption to available power ressources according to inhabitant comfort and cost criteria. The system relies on a multiagent paradigm. Each agent supports a service achieved by several devices, it cooperates and coordinates its action with others in order to find an acceptable near-optimal solution. The control algorithm is decomposed into two complementary mechanisms: a reactive mechanism, which protects from constraint violations, and an anticipation mechanism, which computes a plan for global consumption according to predicted productions and consumptions and to inhabitant criteria. The paper shows how to compute a global consumption plan relying on Bellman-Ford's algorithm and how to reduce the problem complexity by dividing the whole problem into independent sub-problems.

Abstract: Application of Linear H∞ identification method for identification of a synchronous generator is investigated in this paper. H∞ identification method is used to derive a robust model despite noise and system uncertainties. Such models are useful for robust control design in a predictive structure. The proposed identification method is applied on a seventh order model of a synchronous generator with saturation effect and is also tested on a physical machine. The field voltage is considered as the input and the active output power and the terminal voltage are considered as the outputs of the synchronous generator. Simulation and experimental results show good accuracy of the identified model.

Abstract: The paper presents an adaptive system identification application using a Digital Signal Processor from Texas Instruments. The system to be identified is an automotive alternator. Experimental application illustrates the effectiveness and the simplicity of the proposed method. The application runs on a TMS320F2812 DSP. Once the desired functionality has been captured and simulated, using MATLAB/Simulink/Embedded Target for TI C2000 DSP environment can be generated code for the DSP. All task assignments to processor are automatically made by the software. Once the coefficients of a digital filter are calculated the mathematical model of the unknown system is determined.

Abstract: The electric arc furnaces are a very large power load, determining the negative effects on the power quality (harmonics currents, unbalanced load, and reactive power). For a maximum efficiency of the power consumption it is necessary to use an automat system of electrodes position control, in order to obtain a high value of power factor. In this paper are present the simulation results of the electrodes position control on an UHP Electric Arc Furnace in an industrial plants. For simulation it was use an electric arc model, depending on the nonlinearity of the electric arc. The modelling approach adopted in the paper is graphical, as opposed to mathematical models embedded in code using a high-level computer language. The well-developed graphic facilities available in an industry standard power system package, namely PSCAD-EMTDC, are used to conduct all aspects of model implementation and to carry out extensive simulation studies.

Abstract: The paper proposes Takagi-Sugeno PI-fuzzy controllers (PI-FCs) dedicated to a class of integral plants. Two PI controllers are developed first by Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning to ensure the desired control system (CS) performance with respect to the reference input. Other two PI controllers are developed using the Extended Symmetrical Optimum method to ensure the desired maximum sensitivity equivalent to good CS performance with respect to the disturbance input. Then, accepting the approximate equivalence between the fuzzy controllers and the linear ones, a development method for the PI-FCs is suggested. Experimental results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the development.

Abstract: Economic feasibility of a power plant requires smooth and uninterrupted plant operation in the face of varying electrical power demand. The feed-water system in a power plant is a major contributor to plant unavailability. The investigations about operation experiences of a power plant show that one of frequent causes of shutdowns is by violation of safety limits on the water level and is common at low operating power where the plant exhibits strong non-minimum phase characteristics. This paper presents a framework for addressing this problem based on a method of evolved control based on fuzzy model predictive control. Fuzzy model based fault detection methods are elaborated envisaging fault tolerant control. Results from validation of the evolved control system are presented. A new concept of modular evolved control system designed for a seamless and gradual integration into the existing distributed control system is proposed.

Abstract: In the present work a self-organizing neural network is used for reactive power compensation assessment. The optimal reactive power sources planning are solved using a genetic algorithm. A genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize an objective function which is a linear combination of several factors, such as, overall system active power loss, cost incurred from the installation and use of VAR devices, enhance voltage profile. A self-organizing feature map is trained to compare the power system state once without optimization, then with optimization, first taking account of voltage constraints, and secondly without voltage constraints.
