The Navypsilas future electric ships will contain a number of pulsed power loads for high-energy applications such as radar, railguns, and advanced weapons. This pulse energy demand has to be provided by the ship energy sources, while not impacting the operation of the rest of the system. It is clear from studies carried out earlier that disturbances are created at the generator ac bus. This paper describes an online design and laboratory hardware implementation of an optimal excitation controller using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to minimize the effects of pulsed loads. The PSO algorithm has been implemented on a digital …

Power systems are nonlinear with fast changing dynamics. In order to design a nonlinear adaptive controller for damping power system oscillations, it becomes necessary to identify the dynamics of the system. This paper demonstrates the implementation of a neural network based system identifier, referred to as a neuroidentifier, on a programmable logic controller (PLC) platform. Two separate neuroidentifiers are trained using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to identify the dynamics in a two-area four machine power system, one neuroidentifier for Area 1 and the other for Area 2. The power system is simulated in real time on the Real …


A Dstatcom Controller Tuned By Particle Swarm Optimization For An Electric Ship Power System, Pinaki Mitra, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy Jul 2008

A Dstatcom Controller Tuned By Particle Swarm Optimization For An Electric Ship Power System, Pinaki Mitra, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy

In an all-electric ship power system, the power quality problems mainly arise due to the pulsed loads, which cause the degradation of the overall system performance. The paper proposes the application of DSTATCOM to improve these power quality problems of an electric ship. DSTATCOM is a shunt compensation device, which regulates the bus voltage by injecting reactive power during the pulsed load operations. The control strategy of DSTATCOM plays an important role to meet the objectives. The paper proposes a controller design strategy which is based on particle swarm optimization (PSO). PSO, an algorithm that falls into swarm intelligence family, …
