    With the rise in electricity demand, various additional sources of generation, known as Distributed Generation (DG), have been introduced to boost the performance of power systems. A hybrid multi-objective Evolutionary Programming-Firefly Algorithm (MOEPFA) technique is presented in this study for solving multi-objective power system problems which are minimizing total active and reactive power losses and improving voltage profile while considering the cost of energy losses. This MOEPFA is developed by embedding Firefly Algorithm (FA) features into the conventional EP method. The analysis in this study considered DG with 4 different scenarios. Scenario 1 is the base case or without DG, scenario 2 is for DG with injected active power, scenario 3 is for DG injected with reactive power only and scenario 4 is for DG injected with both active and reactive power. The IEEE 69-bus test system is applied to validate the suggested technique.

    This paper approach for the performance analysisof a dc-dc flyback converter for low power application. Modelling is done with parasitic components for non-ideal flyback converter. Ac and dc input characteristic of the flyback converter are analysed and investigated by PSIM simulations and calculations. The influence of parasitic effects in converter components on input characteristic is studied in continuous conduction mode (CCM).The results of the calculation based on analytical formula and averaged models are in a good accordance with PSIM simulations and calculation. The goal of this project is to compare an ideal and non-ideal condition in order to see the effect on the efficiency and ability of the converter to control the output voltage. The converter is expected to be operated in continuous conduction mode at all time and focus application islow power application that less than 100W.

    Current source inverter (CSI) features simple converter structure and inherent voltage boost capability. In addition, it provides low instantaneous rate of voltage change with respect to time in comparison to voltage source inverter (VSI) and multilevel inverter (MLI). Nonetheless, CSI does not outshine as grid interfacing unit in photovoltaic (PV) generation system. This is because of requirement of large sizing of dc-link inductor and sluggish performance during light load condition. Contemplating both advantages and disadvantages of CSI, this work is aimed to investigate and analyze the superiority of CSI in PV system. The proposed system employs direct regular-sampled pulse width modulation (DRSPWM) as modulator and multi-loop proportional-integral (PI) in synchronous frame as the controller. The grid-connected CSI system is further evaluated along with photovoltaic maximum power point tracking (PV-MPPT) control. Simulation verification highlighted that the option of using CSI as medium power PV grid integration unit in exchanging active-reactive power with grid network is very satisfactory. In addition, balanced sinusoidal output currents with acceptable harmonic limit are successfully achieved; like other topologies in PV grid integration. The proposed CSI system is proved to be able to track the references in event of varying input condition from PV array. The theoretical equations and modeling are described, and the simulation are conducted in MATLAB / Simulink platform.

    The injection of dc current offset into ac networks may impacted the lifespan of the distribution system equipment including isolation transformers and measurement devices and in serious event may cause equipment's malfunction. This paper intents to eliminate dc current offsets in the output currents using a combinational of proportional-integral (PI) and proportional resonance (PR) controls embedded in one inverter unit. Resultant output currents of this method are sinusoidal and clean from dc offset before entering the point of common coupling. This method gives advantages for transformerless option for group of interfacing inverters in the medium-scale solar farm or in arrangement of inverters restricted in a small locale. Moreover, the use of expensive and high-accuracy measurement sensor nor complex transformer can be omitted, whilst indirectly give positive impact to the operational cost of the farm. The simulation verifications proved the usefulness of the proposed method by introducing varying unknown dc offset levels in the phase currents, and a dedicated dc offset suppressor inverter able to successfully eliminate the dc offset to zero. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated in simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.
