DC UPS and Load Leveling for Pulse Loads
Summary: In this tutorial, an energy conversion system with Li-ion batteries providing power to DC pulse
loads is discussed. The energy system has an AC input rated at nearly one tenth of the pulse load. The system
includes a DC/DC converter operating as a line-interactive DC UPS. In case of high load demand, the powerfrom Li-ion pack is added to smaller AC power from line to feed the load. During low load condition, the powerfrom AC line charges the battery and feeds the load. In a third mode of operation, in case of AC power
outage, the load is directly fed from battery packs. Several aspects of the system including battery cell andpack testing, battery modeling, converter design, complexities from Constant Power Load (CPL), systemsmall signal analysis, system stability, and experimental verifications are discussed.

Fault tolerant inverter operation
Summary: To get the target of a wider dissemination of DG and so to maximize the use of renewable energy
it will be necessary to overcome the manifold of problematic issued by the network management no longer
characterized by unidirectional power flows, as for example, those regarding the non optimal developmentof lines and transformers, the complexity in voltage regulation, the unwanted islanded operations and theincreased complexity in the protection issues, the development of fault tolerant operation systems. The mostrecent studies have shown as, in the field of variable frequency electrical drives and grid interconnecting
inverters, up than the 80% of faults are to be ascribed to single or multiple device failures. Typically thesefailures are caused by counterblow destruction as in the case of short circuit of silicon packed devices, bylosing driver pulse occurring if driver circuit or power supply are invalid so that no trigger pulse can be sent
to the gate of the power device, and, finally, by open circuit failure that heavily affects the output voltages
and currents waveforms. Open circuit faults generally do not cause shutdown of the system, but degrades
its performance. Therefore, diagnostic methods can be used to drive fault-tolerant systems, which continue
working even with occurring faults, but at reduced capacity, saving in this manner the production of a lot of
renewable energy. Fault-tolerant converters have been widely investigated for years and nowadays an
extensive technical literature on this field exists. This lecture presents the concept of fault detection methods.
In the methods analysis, both the case of faults in single device and the lose of an entire inverter leg havebeen considered. False positive detections are avoided by considering a proper number of current samples.
In the lecture a new fault detection algorithm is proposed, characterized by simplicity, low computational andimplementation effort with a consequent enough fast execution, easy control integration with the possibility
to use it both in hardware in the loop systems and microprocessor of common industrial usage.

SPECIAL SESSIONS
Session 1: Smart Grid Systems and Security
Date: November 22, 2016 – 16.20-18.00 PM
Organizer: Prof. Dr. Seref SAGIROGLU Gazi University, Ankara/Turkey.
Summary: Smart grid systems (SGSs) become a requirement to improve efficiency and reliabilityof the power generation, transmission, and particularly distribution systems. In order to maintainpower networks with high performance as well as reducing operational cost, utility companies
need to implement SGSs into their networks. Many smart grid initiatives leverage an increased
dependency of information and communication technologies (ICT) to integrate more accurate
physical parameter measurements and intelligent controller devices to the systems. It is wellknown that advancement in ICT provides easier and fast communication capabilities to SGSs tokeep different components in power systems connected. However, the increased ICT dependency
also introduces additional security risks for utility networks using SGSs resulting from poor system
configurations, poor network design and vulnerabilities in software and operating platforms, lackof security policies and standards. This special session aims to bring together researchers anddevelopers from academia, industry and governmental institution to share and exchange novel
ideas, expectations, concerns and solutions, ex- plore the inherent challenges in developing moresecure SGSs and share current experiences.

Evacuation of Renewable Energy and Inter-regional Power Systems
Date: November 22, 2016 – 16.20-18.00 PM
Organizers: Dr. Khaled Ahmed, University of Aberdeen, UK.
Dr. Grain P. Adam, University of Strathclyde, UK.
Summary: In recent years, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and DC grids have attracted
significant research interest from industry and academia. Today, commercial HVDC links are being
built using line commutatting current source converter (LCC) or self-commutated voltage source
converter (VSC) technologies.
At present, most of the HVDC transmission systems in operation are of the LCC type, which uses
thyristors as the main swicthing devices. The main attributes of LCC-HVDC links are: low
semiconductor losses and proven track record of operation in systems with ultra high dc voltage(UHVDC) link up to ±800kV and rated power up to 7200MW, thanks to the availability of highvoltage and current capacity thyristor (8kV, 4kA light triger thyristors). Some of the drawbacks of
LCC-HVDC link are: it injects significant low frequency harmonics into both AC and DC sides, whichmust be eliminated by large passive filters; and control of real power being injected into the AC
network is coupled the converter reactive power consumption.
In contrast, VSC-HVDC transmission systems offer increasing operation flexibilites compared to
LCC counterpart such as independent control of active and reactive power; power reversal is being
achieved with chnage of DC current direction and low filtering requirments. Despite these
attributes, safe and secure operation of DC grids will require substantail technologicaladvancement beyond the currently available and being used in point-to-point VSC-HVDC links.
Some of the potentail challenges of DC grid are: how to interrupt high DC currents during DC
faults and with reasonable speed to prevent the collapse of the DC grid; how to prevent
misoperation of protection systems due to interactions during AC or DC faults; and how to step
up/down DC voltages efficiently? These research questions summarise the importance ofdeveloping cost-effective high power DC Circuit Breaker, high power DC transformers and effective
coordinated protection systems.
The main objectives of the special issue is to provide a platform for researchers, and experts fromacademia and industry to discuss, share, exchange, and provide ideas, identify unforeseenchallenges and problems, and suggest solutions.
The technical topics in this Special Session include:
Research and development on HVDC transmission systems and DC grids:
 Design
 Control Modelling Protection

Session 5: Power Quality Improvement for Renewable Energies Systems
Date: November 23, 2016 – 09.00-10.40 PM
Organizers: Samir Moulahoum and Nadir Kabache, University of Médéa, Algeria.
Summary: To overcome the pollution problems caused by the consumption of fossil fuels,
renewable energies are the alternatives recommended to ensure green energy. However, lowpower factor (PF) and bad total harmonic distortion (THD) generated by nonlinear loads affects
the equipment’s connected to the renewable source. The problem of harmonic pollution has leadresearchers in electrical engineering to develop more effective solutions to meet the requirements
for the quality of electric power. These types of devices are generally referred to: active power
filters. Power factor corrector, sinus rectifiers… Several control methods can be used to control
these converters: Direct power control (DPC), Predictive power control (PPC), sliding mode andnew methods based on intelligent techniques (neuronal, fuzzy logic,) All innovative topics on the
power quality improvement regarding any component of renewable energy system are welcome
to join this special session. The session covers topics including, but not limited to: AC/DC converters for high power quality for renewable energy systems
 DC/DC Converters in renewable energy applications

Session 6: Autonomous Dynamic Intelligent Systems For Renewable Energy Application
Date: November 21, 2016 – 16.20-18.20 PM
Organizers: Prof. Dr. M. Arif Wani, Institute of Technology, Zakura, India.
Summary: Intelligent Techniques are increasing being used to improve efficiency and reliabilityof power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. Incorporating intelligent techniques
into power networks play an important role in improving the performance and reducing theoperational cost of these networks. A number of intelligent techniques which include artificial
neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms, dimensionality reduction, feature selection,clustering, reinforcement learning and deep learning techniques have been used in power
networks. Big data analytics techniques for handling power networks involving large volumes ofdata have been studied by researchers. Cloud computing for virtualization of intelligent power
networks have also been studied by researchers. One of the challenges is to develop autonomous
dynamic intelligent systems which can evolve incrementally as new learning data becomes
available. The dynamic systems should adapt to learn of their own without external intervention
and without scrapping the exiting learned system. This special session aims to bring together
researchers and developers from academia, industry and governmental institution to share andexchange novel ideas, expectations, concerns and solutions, explore the inherent challenges indeveloping autonomous dynamic intelligent systems for power networks and share current

Session 7: Distributed Generation Resources: Sizing, Optimizing, Control Techniques andPerformance Enhancement
Date: November 23, 2016 – 14.20-16.40 PM
Organizer: Dr. Subhransu Sekhar Dash, SRM University, Chennai, India.
Summary: With renewable energy price drooping down and people concern on environment
increasing, power production through distributed generation resources is dragging attention in
research arena. On the other hand energy conversion through Distributed power conversion ishampered by its inherent nature of being intermittent and exhibiting non linear power output
characteristics. Power Maximizations algorithms are dragging much attention since its inception,
but these algorithms may not go in hand when distributed sources are hindered by environmental
hindrances. Therefore smart Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms using intelligent
soft computing techniques are needed to make most out of the available power in the powersources. On the other hand, the distributed and variable nature of renewable creates challenges
for an electrical grid built for centralized generation and predictable loads. Therefore issues inappropriate sizing, planning with storage systems and integration between sources and to the load
should be witnessed prudently. This special session aims at bringing together researchers, faculties
from academia, industrial expertise to create a platform where knowledge, ideas, innovations canbe shared in improving the performance of distributed power generation systems, optimizing its
power yielding capacity , sizing and scaling to meet appropriate loads. Topics include, but notlimited to, but not limited to Modeling and Analysis of Distributed renewable sources.

TUTORIALS
Tutorial 1: Non-traditional Methods to Obtain Energy from the Environment
Date : November 20, 2016- 13.00-14.00 PM
Organizer: Professor Dr. Stanimir Valtchev, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal.
Summary: This tutorial is not claiming to make a wide review of energy harvesting ideas,
technical methods and their usability. The ambition is to show some not conventional, strange
methods.
The process of energy harvesting is associated with ambient power sources: electromagnetic
emissions (including radio waves, solar radiation, high voltage electric fields, etc.), gradients ofphysical variables (temperature, pressure, velocity, etc.), kinetic energy sources (wind,convection, linear and circular movement, acceleration, etc). To make even wider the scope of theenergy sources, here must be included the artificially made energy that may be harvested(artificial lighting, turbines vibrations, artificial electromagnetic emissions). Here some research
results will reveal unusual ways to harvest energy by applying the existing potential differences(of the neutral conductor) in some types of electrical networks. Moreover, in some cases not only
energy will be harvested to supply small electronic devices, but also the potential will be used tomeasure (fully or partially) the electric network consumption (loading), thus giving the opportunity
for decision making in smart/micro grid, and load/local network management. Technical details
will be revealed on how different problems were solved, including more efficient rectifier design,voltage output improvement and step-up conversion in case of very low input voltages. Additional
circuits that offer non-conventional lowpower supply will be discussed. Comparison will be madeagainst some monolithic power management IC. Following the “strange” nature of the topic, thepresentation will remind some unconventional/conceptual methods for single-wire signalling andpower transfer. The known achievements will be presented together with results of own practicalresearch. General conclusions for the possibility for wireless ground/marine signalling and energy
transmission are made, mainly backed up by patents and publications of other researchers andenthusiasts. Although electrical engineering knowledge is sufficient, some knowledge of RF
engineering will be helpful for understanding the strange concepts, e.g. the single-wire andwireless transmission methods.
Key points:*Brief overview of the common energy harvesting methods.
*Overview of some electric network types.
*Opportunities from the potential of the neutral conductor as a power source.

Tutorial 2: Distributed Generation
Date : November 20, 2016 - 14.10-15.10 PM
Organizer: Dr Khaled H. Ahmed University of Aberdeen, UK.
Summary: Distributed generation (DG), sometimes called embedded generation, is electricity
generation which is connected to the distribution network rather than the high voltage
transmission network. It is typically smaller generation such as renewable generation, including
small hydro, wind, solar power, and smaller combined heat and power. The development of
distributed generation has an important role to play in current long-term environmental targets.
The main goals to be achieved are: to increase the network connection capacity by allowing moreconsumers and producer customers connection without creating new reinforcement costs, toenhance the reliability of the systems by enhanced protection, and to improve the overall qualityof supply with sophisticated voltage control. One of the main problems facing DG system
deployment is the connection to the network or grid. Unfortunately, the electrical output of many
DG resources is incompatible with the fixed frequency electricity supply network; as a result it isnecessary to develop power electronic interfacing methods. Many DG sources are dc. Any method
must have features of reliable, fast response, ease of control and hardware interface ability. The
best candidate for the application is the power converter coupled via a power filter. The system
must transfer the energy from the dc link to the three-phase ac system with controlled active andreactive power and without injecting harmonic currents. Both switching frequency effects and gridvoltage distortion contribute to poor power quality. A well designed filter can attenuate switchingfrequency components but impacts on the control bandwidth and the impedance presented to grid
distortion. The main objective of the tutorial is to investigate the distributed generation systems
with clarifying different topologies advantages and disadvantages. The current, future, andchallenges of DG systems will be covered. The output LC filter design for grid coupled applications
in distributed generation systems is presented. The design is in accordance with harmonicstandards that specify the level of current harmonics that can be injected into the grid. The tutorial
will study DG operation, control and interactions with AC systems. The interactions of current
source and voltage source DG with AC systems through controls and harmonics will be analysed.
The tutorial covers also the latest novel islanding detection technique based on the point ofcommon coupling voltage change to differentiate between islanding and load disturbances. AC and
DC faults analysis for different DG technologies will be presented. The tutorial is supported withsimulation on MATLAB/SIMULINK software and experimental results.

Tutorial 3: Photovoltaic Solar Panels
Date : November 20, 2016 - 15.20-16.20 PM
Organizer: Profesor Carlos Ferreira Fernandes, Lisbon University, Portugal.
Summary: As the effects of climate changes are becoming increasingly obvious, a change ofenergy systems is imperative. In the context of the sustainability of the earth’s energy supply
chain, renewable energy sources (wind, hydro, solar, geothermal, bio,…) play an important role.
Among them, solar energy has the advantage of being environmental friendly and to haveunlimited availability. The development of technology in the last decades has lead to an efficientuse of the solar energy as a source of thermal energy, known as solar thermal (T), and of electricenergy, the solar photovoltaic (PV). A third group, the solar hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT),
provides simultaneously thermal and electrical energies from a single collector.
- Studies on a cost-effectiveness basis provide clear metrics that can be used to estimate the costs
and performances of different renewable power generation technologies. Despite the difference
between the final electricity price paid by the consumers and the cost of generation, the evaluationof the economic feasibility of any PV project is more and more based on the levelized cost ofelectricity (LCOE) generation, which is the price per unit energy generated. The price of solar
power has been continuously decreasing in the last decades ($96 per watt in the middle- 1970 toless than $1 per watt in 2016). However, solar cells still remain the mostexpensive component of PV modules. In any comparative analysis of different systems or
technologies, the annual cost-productions are generally referred per area. More energy collectedwith less area is the main goal. By reducing the total collector area, solar systems that recur toconcentrating contribute to important performance improvements. Nevertheless, highconcentration levels highlight non-uniformities in the radiation distribution, leading to thepremature aging of the panels. Failure analysis/mitigation should include the complete descriptionof the PV solar generator.
- Solar cell numerical simulation/modelling represent current investigation tasks. Avoiding theneed for the manufacturing of series of expensive prototypes, flexible numerical models represent
a powerful tool to the redesign of devices already in the market or to the design of morecompetitive components in this field. Adequate collector geometries are crucial for the fulfilmentof consumer satisfaction demands.
- This tutorial presents examples of solar cell modelling/simulation analysis in different
types/geometries of PV solar collectors. Experimental tests in lab/ outdoor tests will be presented
for validation purposes. Concepts concerning fundamental understanding of the functioning ofsolar cells and for improving their efficiency will be dealt with.

Tutorial 4: : Digital Power Converter for Renewable Energy System
Date: November 20, 2016 - 16.30-17.30 PM
Organizers: Professor Fujio Kurokawa, Nagasaki University, Japan, IEEE Fellow.
Summary:- The renewable energy attracts attention because of the energy problem and global warming
because dependence on fossil fuels and CO2 emission are reduced. The energy management isnecessary in the renewable energy system to utilize the power obtained from the renewableenergy efficiently. When the energy management is implemented, the monitoring of the power
consumption and the communication with other component are needed. Thus, the digital control
switching power supply is very attractive because various functions can be included easily.
- The dc bus voltage fluctuates in the renewable energy system. The change of dc bus voltage
becomes wide. In this case, it is very difficult to design the dc-dc converter with superior dynamic
characteristics. Moreover, the digital control has the delay time in its process because an analog
value should be converted into a digital value. Also, its operation process needs the calculation
time. The delay time is one of the cause that make the system unstable.
- Therefore, a new control method is necessary instead of the conventional voltage mode control,
which is the main stream of digital control algorithm, to operate the converter stably.
- This tutorial presents a digital control converter for renewable energy system. At first, several
operation principles of digital control are described. Next, the transient responses of the output
voltage and the reactor current are indicated and compared with the conventional PID control.
The improved method can make the system stable and its response become gradual.
