Photovoltaic (PV) are generally modeled using mathematical equations that describe the PV system behavior. Most of the modeling approach is very simple in terms of that PV module temperature is calculated from nominal constant cell temperature such as ambient temperature and incoming solar irradiance. In this paper, we newly present MATLAB model particularly embedding the effect of wind speed to describe more accurate cell temperature. For analyses and validate purpose of the proposed model, solar power is obtained and compared with and without wind speed from the 50Wp PV module provided by vendor datasheet. In the simulation result, we found that power output of the module is increased to 0.37% in terms of cell temperature a degreed down when we consider the wind speed in the model. This result is well corresponded with the well-known fact that normal PV is 0.4% power changed by cell temperature a degree difference. Therefore it shows that our modeling method with wind speed is more appropriate than the methods without the wind speed effect.

In terms of function of Type-2 fuzzy controller with reduced number of rules, it was confirmed through improvement in function of autonomous driving of mobile robot using MATLAB/Simulink.

Green technologies such as renewable energy resources, Electric Vehicles and Plug- in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (EVs/PHEVs), electric locomotives, etc. are continually increasing at the existing power network especially distribution levels, which are Medium Voltage (MV) and Low Voltage (LV). It can be noted that the increasing level of green technologies is driven by the reduction emission policies of carbon dioxide (CO2). The green technologies can affect the quality of power, and hence its impacts of are analysed. In practical, the environment such as wind, solar irradiation, temperature etc. are uncontrollable, and therefore the output power of renewable energy in that area can be varied. Moreover, the technology of the EVs/PHEVs is still developed in order to improve the performance of supply and driving systems. This means that these developed can cause harmonic distortion as the control system is mostly used power electronics. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse the voltage variation and harmonic distortion in distribution power network in urban area in Europe due to the combination between wind turbine, hydro turbine, photovoltaic (PV) system and EVs/PHEVs. More realistic penetration levels of SSDGs and EVs/PHEVs as forecasted for 2020 is used to analyse. The dynamic load demands are also taken into account. In order to ensure the accurate of simulation results, the practical parameters of distribution system are used and the international standards such as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards are also complied. The suggestion solutions are also presented. The MATLAB/Simulink software is chosen as it can support complicate modelling and analysis.

Response Surface Methodology(RSM) was successfully applied to a process simulator for optimization of Generalized Predictive Control(GPC) tuning parameters. Wireless experimental input/output data obtained from process simulator. GPC algorithm which is written in MATLAB is utilized to wireless temperature control experiments achieved by using MATLAB/Simulink program.The efficiency of the GPC is observed by calculating the integral of the square of the error (ISE) and the integral of the absolute value of the error (IAE) from experimental results which was optimized by the application of RSM. The three independent variables, which had been found the most effective variables on the GPC by screening experiments, were determined as NU, N2 and λ as minimum prediction horizon, maximum prediction horizon and control weighting, respectively. The quadratic models were developed through RSM in terms of related independent variables to describe the ISE and IAE as the two response. Based on statistic analysis, optimum GPC tuning parameters of NU (X1), N2 (X2) and λ (X3) for minimize the ISE were determined to be 1.7922, 1.9453 and 0.0642 and for minimize the IAE were determined to be 1.8880, 1.9752 and 0.0612, respectively. Calculated optimum points of GPC tuning parameters are close to based on ISE and IAE results. The data evaluated from the quadratic model were good agreement with those measured experimentally. The wireless temperature control is successfully applied to the process simulator and wireless control technique is proposed for various application areas.

The saturation characteristic of the core varies with operation of magnetically saturation controlled reactor’s (MSCR). Consequently its harmonic characteristic is needed to take in consideration. The arithmetic representation of MSCR is derived in accordance with the structural characteristic and operational rules. The characteristic analysis investigates the function of voltage as well as current over all magnetic field parameters of harmonics. After that, it concludes that the working current of MSCR’s is an odd harmonic function, including primary and odd harmonic components; controlling current and voltage are even harmonic functions, restraining DC and even harmonic components; Again magnetic point of view, the magnetic components are also surrounding the DC and its own fundamental part too. Finally, a simulation model for MSCR is fabricated with MATLAB/Simulink. This paper demonstrates that the analysis is very precise. So, this paper can be a reference to provide further instruction for analysis and proposition of new harmonic suppression methods of MSCR.

Voltage fluctuation, also known as flicker, is a power quality problem caused by nonlinear loads like electric arc furnace. Since it is interpreted as a variation of the supplied electrical energy, it causes the residential customers to feel much annoyed visually through the lamps. Due to the statistical nature of IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) short-term flicker severity index, Pst, it is not feasible to pre-evaluate the flicker level using the transient power system simulators such as Sim Power System in Matlab/Simulink. So this paper presents not only how to design the Matlab/Simulink IEC flickermeter to yield the Pst value, which considering electric distribution environments of South Korea, but also how to mitigate the voltage flicker at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). In order to achieve this, the flicker mitigation efficiencies of various compensating devices, such as Static Var Compensator (SVC), STATCOM will be applied and compared. The simulated result demonstrates which compensating equipment is the most efficient method to mitigate the flicker phenomenon.
