System reconfiguration and service restoration of primary distribution systems augmented by capacitors using a new level-wise approach

Ensuring continuous, economical and quality power supply to customers is the primary objective of suppliers. This implies quick restoration of supply in case of faults, to maximum possible load in minimum time with minimum loss. Power quality and network loss can be improved by providing reactive power compensation using capacitors. This paper proposes a new method for system reconfiguration and fault restoration of a...

Design and development of fuzzy logic controller to control the speed of permanent magnet synchronous motor

The paper presents a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The fuzzy logic controller is used for speed control of this type of motor. The dynamic response of (PMSM) with the proposed controller is studied under different load disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy logic controller is compared with that of the conventional PI and PID controllers. The proposed...
