    VOLTAGE SENSORLESS BASED VIRTUAL FLUX CONTROL OF THREE LEVEL NPC BACK-TO-BACK CONVERTER DFIGUNDER GRID FAULT
    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-11-25) Merzou, Imad; Mohamed, k; Rezaoui, Mounir; Bessous, Noureddine; Gafazi, Abdsalem
    In this paper, a harmonic elimination of grid and stator currents of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) in case of grid fault without line voltage sensors is proposed . This can be achieved by compensating power based on virtual flux voltage sensorless technique. Direct power control with space vector modulation (DPC-SVM) is used to control both grid-side (GSC)and rotor-side converters (RSC). To achieve the control objective, compensated active and reactive powers are calculated based on virtual flux technique with balanced and harmonic free current as a control target. A theoretical analysis of active and reactive powers under unbalanced voltage source is clearly demonstrated and the effect of grid fault on the performance of DFIG is profoundly discussed. Simulation results verified the effectiveness of the modified control strategy

    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-11-10) Remlaoui, Ahmed; Hammou, Soumia; Bent Abdelkader, Nafissa
    This article deals with the desalination of seawater and brackish water, which can deal with the problem of water scarcity that threatens certain countries in the world; it is now possible to meet the demand for drinking water. Currently, among the various desalination processes, the reverse osmosis technique is the most used. Electrical energy consumption is the most attractive factor in the cost of operating seawater by reverse osmosis in desalination plants. Desalination of water by solar energy can be considered as a very important drinking water alternative. For determining the electrical energy consumption of a single reverse osmosis module, we used the System Advisor Model (SAM) to determine the technical characteristics and costs of a parabolic cylindrical installation and Reverse Osmosis System Analysis (ROSA) to obtain the electrical power of a single reverse osmosis module. The electrical power of a single module is 4101 KW; this is consistent with the manufacturer's data that this power must be between 3900 kW and 4300 KW. Thus, the energy consumption of the system is 4.92 KWh/m3.Thermal power produced by the solar cylindroparabolic field during the month of May has the maximum that is 208MWth, and the minimum value during the month of April, which equals 6 MWth. Electrical power produced by the plant varied between 47MWe, and 23.8MWe. The maximum energy was generated during the month of July (1900 MWh) with the maximum energy stored (118 MWh).

    Effect of heat flow via glazing on the productivity of a solar still
    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-12-25) Khechekhouche, Abderrahmane; Driss, Zied; Durakovic, Benjamin
    In many parts of the world, particularly in the Greater Maghreb, desalination of water by solar energy is practiced with incredible abundance. Drinking water shortage has become a major problem. Improving the efficiency of solar distillers in several laboratories around the world is still one of the major concerns of research topics. In this work we want to show that the heat flow through the glazing can also be considered as an index on the productivity of pure water from a conventional solar still.

    Economic Perspective in the Production of Copper Nanowire using Amino Acids as Capping Agent
    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-12-25) Dewi, Puspa Sari; Nandiyanto, Asep Bayu Dani
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the economic feasibility of making copper nanowire using amino acids as a capping agent. The evaluation was conducted from two perspectives, namely engineering analysis and economic evaluation using parameters such as gross profit margin, payback period, breakeven points, and net present value. An economic evaluation was also carried out comparing the use of amino acids Glycine, Lysine, Proline, and Alanine to find out which amino acids were more profitable in the production of copper nanowire. Furthermore, the evaluation is done by estimating the ideal situation and several other state assumptions such as changes in raw material prices, labor costs, and also income tax. From the results of this study, Glycine is known as the most profitable amino acid to be used in this process. In addition, by using Glycine as an ideal condition, based on the results of the evaluation of all parameters, this project is classified as prospective to do. Although further studies must be carried out to develop this project, this study can be the basis for developing new methods of making copper nanowire on a large scale.

    Control of 3x7 matrix converter with PWM three intervals modulation
    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-12-15) Mesai, H; Bentaallah, A; Djeriri, Y; Mahmoudi, A
    Direct Power conversion from fixed AC voltage into variable AC voltage is gaining a significant attention, especially in case of multi-phases machines/generators; for such reason a new algorithm to control 3x7 matrix converter (MC) is developed in this paper, wherein the main aim is to control multi-phases induction motor/generator connected to the electrical grid with a novel converter (except matrix converter), for that the PWM three intervals modulation strategy is modified from the control of 3x3 MC to 3x7 MC; which is directly connected to the network through a three phase input in order to overcome the supplying problems, on the other side seven phases have been used as an output to benefit the advantages of the multi-phases machines. This paper intends in the first place to explain the 3x3 MC, then to manipulate the control equation for the purpose of making it suitable for controlling the 3x7 MC effectively, thus a good performance can be clearly seen according to the quality of the output voltage/current under typical R-L load, the shift between phases and the THD evaluation. The obtained simulation results which demonstrate the efficiency of the new control algorithm are presented and discussed

    Comparative study between pi and fuzzy pi controllers for DFIG integrated in variable speed wind turbine
    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-12-15) Mesai, H; Bentaallah, A; Djeriri, Y; Mahmoudi, A
    This paper presents the contribution of the application of fuzzy logic for the independent control of the active and reactive power stator of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), used in a variable speed wind energy conversion system. So in this work, we are particularly interested in the application of indirect vector control by stator flux orientation to the DFIG, based on fuzzy controllers. These latter surpass the limits of conventional controllers and possess essential characteristics for the improvement of the robustness of the vector control with against parameters variations of the system. The obtained simulation results have shown that it is possible to control the stator powers, even in the presence of parametric variations

    Comparative Study Between Fuzzy and Sliding Mode Control Based on a BDFIG
    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-12-15) Ouada, Laid; Sebti, B
    Brushless doubly fed induction (BDFIG) is one of the best solutions of the previous research efforts about wind-power converter, which is represented by the absence of a brush gear and less maintenance cost, especially in the harsh regions. This task presents a comparative evaluation between a sliding mode and Fuzzy control. It demonstrates also the robustness of these two regulators against supply voltage and load disturbances. Furthermore, we have shown the undesirable phenomenon of oscillations having a finite frequency and amplitude, which is known as ‘chattering’ resulted from a sliding mode control which is based on Lyapunov approach theorem. The control of the system and BDFIG are both integrated in variable speed wind energy conversion. The performances of these control systems have been tested and analyzed in Matlab Simulink

    (جامعة الوادي - university of el oued, 2019-11-10) Remlaoui, Ahmed; Benyoucef, Mohammed; Ass, Djamel; Nehari, iDriss
    This paper presents a validated TRNSYS model for a thermodynamic plant with parabolic trough solar thermal power (PT). The system consist of trough solar collector (PTC) as well as auxiliary components.. The simulation of the system has been done during the day (01/01) under the meteorological conditions of Ain Témouchent city (Algeria). The model compared the energy performance of the systems: case (1) - Rankine cycle facility with solar field and case (2)- Rankine cycle facility without solar field. The results showed that the present model has a good agreement with the experimental data of the literature. In case (1), PTC fluid outlet temperature reach the maximum value 330 ° C, Work of the steam turbine increase from the 9hr to reach its maximum value 856 KJ/Kg at 13 hr. In case (2), the maximum value of the power remains constant from the beginning of the simulation to 1hr00. Since the flow of fuel (gas natural) consumed does not change throughout the operating period
