Microalgae cultivation for energy production has gained a great interest in the past few decades ... more Microalgae cultivation for energy production has gained a great interest in the past few decades in view of the increase in Green House Gas (GHG) emission and the global climate changes. The main challenge of producing microalgal based biofuels is to produce sufficient amount of biomass at minimal costs and at high efficiencies. The reason why engineers have examined and developed new technologies for the production of microalgal biomass. In this work, different types of photo-bioreactor systems for microalgae cultivation exploited in literature are classified and evaluated. Moreover, the main design considerations of a photo-bioreactor (surface-to-volume ratio, optimal diameter and length for tubular photobioreactors, mixing process, orientation and inclination, light and CO2 supply) to provide a controlled environment in order to achieve optimal growth and product formation of microalgae are listed and discussed thoughtfully.

The study concerns mainly the fixed-frequency carrier-based pulse-width-modulated (PWM) controllers. The superiority of the fixed-frequency controllers over the hysteresis-based ones is briefly emphasized. The design and performance evaluation of the considered control systems are based on a mathematical model of the converter, obtained by applying the state-space-averaging modeling technique. The performance of the controllers is analyzed through numerical results. Advantages and drawbacks of each proposed control law are discussed, and a comparative performance status in terms of input current total harmonic distortion (THD), DC voltage regulation and dynamic characteristics is established.

The proposed reaching law contains an exponential term that dynamically adapts to the variations of the switching function, thus improving the robustness of the control law and keeping the tracking performance unaffected. The proposed approach is then applied in real time to a 3 DOF modular robot arm. Experimental results are compared to conventional sliding mode approach, from which we conclude the superiority of the proposed approach, especially concerning chattering reduction on control input.

New definition for active current in case of perturbed source voltages is developed and employed ... more New definition for active current in case of perturbed source voltages is developed and employed as reference compensation currents for an active power filter. In this paper, different control methods using the instantaneous power theory approach are applied to the 3-phase 4-wire split-capacitor Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF). The control techniques that have been considered for comparison are: the original p-q method, the modified p-q, the pseudo-mapping matrix, the p-q-r theory, the NF p-q method, and the proposed Direct Control for Active Power (DCAP) novel method issued from the novel definition of active current. All these control schemes are compared in two aspects. First, a qualitative comparison, based on simulation results, is performed on the source and neutral currents in all cases of sine-wave/distorted and balanced/unbalanced source voltages. Then, a quantitative comparison is carried out to evaluate the performance of each method in different operating conditions. Three indexes are used for this assessment: 1) the current Unbalance Factor (UFi) in accordance with IEEE 1195-1995, 2) the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and 3) the rate of neutral current compensation. It will be proven that the DCAP method ensures sinusoidal and balanced source currents with a THD and an UF that meet the standard requirements in all cases of operation, as well as a compensated neutral current on the source side.

Many demand response programs (DRP) are used for this purpose. The thermostatically controlled load (TCL) are the most efficient programs used for DSM and especially for ancillary services. In this work, we study the heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) system as one of appliances that fall under the category of TCL. In literature, the chiller power variation due to direct control of HVAC supply fan speed is not considered for DSM. This paper fills this gap and increases the participation capacity of HVAC. Therefore, the HVAC system is remodeled in order to express with more accuracy the chiller power variation. The new model relates the chilled water temperature to the leaving air temperature. Simulation results shows the improvement provided by this method.

Almost all of these methods are designed for a perfect sinusoidal source and do not produce sinusoidal current when the voltages are disturbed. The work developed here concerns active filtering on a perturbed network, that is to say the presence of voltage harmonics at the connection point in addition to a system of unbalanced voltages. A proposed method called DCAP (Direct Control for Active Power) is based on new definition of the sinusoidal active currents desired on the source and assuming a unity power factor under perturbed and polluted system voltages that leads to the DCAP control strategy for active filter. This method considers the active power and the effective value of the fundamental of the voltage is described and its results are compared with those obtained by the p-q theory, the modified p-q theory and the p-q-r method for application on a three-wire disturbed and non-linear load distribution network. The comparison concerns the harmonic distortion rate (THD) of the desired currents obtained on the source as well as Unbalance Factor (UF) of the system of these currents.

However, the replacement of internal combustion engine by electric motor is a great advantage toward environment. The investigation of hybrid fuel cell-battery system is highly attractive for the drive electric vehicle. Such hybridization improves power quality, allows for quick fuel cell start-up, has a favorable impact on the fuel cell's life cycle, increases fuel cell efficiency, and raises the system reliability and efficiency of motoring and regenerative braking. Moreover, multilevel inverters play an essential role in terms of lower switching action, total harmonic distortion, and smoother output voltage which enhances the performance of the motor. Basically, multilevel output voltage can be produced by a different structure of classical inverter integrated with an open-end winding induction motor configuration. Such configuration is characterized by simplicity of structure and control. Moreover, it overcomes the problem of zero-sequence components and protects the motor from failure. This paper reviews briefly the configurations of open-end winding drive system for hybrid electric vehicle which allow the combination of fuel cell with other DC sources.

The study focuses on the fast charging stations, that are off-board chargers, and more specifically on bidirectional AC/DC converters that constitute an integral part of the fast charging station. AC/DC converters interface with the grid and the DC/DC converters, and they must satisfy the grid requirements and specifications. Moreover, this paper points up the problems associated with conventional two-levels AC/DC converters and highlights the importance of using multilevel converters instead.

Owing to the evolution of power electronic devices, the ease of control, and the improved efficiency and reliability, DC microgrids are gaining increased interest. Many kinds of research address the hierarchical control in DC microgrids to accomplish multi-objectives. On the first and second levels, the control targets fast dynamic variables to achieve its objectives. Yet, on a third control level, general management functionalities are executed. Many of these management functionalities target the system variables with a slower dynamic and so, to prove the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical control, a 24-hour model simulation is required. The wide time-range dynamics of the existing system variables make the 24-hour modeling subject a complicated matter especially, on standard computers with conventional performances. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a 24-hour DC microgrid model which offers the best tradeoff between model precision, complexity, and simulation speed. The multi-objectives hierarchical control is adopted: on a first and second control level, several averaging techniques are introduced and compared to a detailed reference model in terms of accuracy and calculation step size. DC microgrid's general management strategy is adopted on the third control level. Simulation tests are performed on MATLAB/Simulink software to prove the viability of the proposed 24-hour model.

Several PFC topologies were introduced in the last thirty years, depending on the required source-load characteristics and system performance. This paper is dedicated to the comparative study of the most popular PFC converters, with an emphasis on their major features, their benefits and limitations in terms of performance. More specifically, the averaged model of each topology is presented, on the basis of which steady-state characteristics, current tracking ability and design criteria are elaborated and analyzed.
