Review of optimization techniques applied for the integration of distributed generation from renewable energy sources
Abdmouleh, Zeineb; Gastli, Adel; Ben-Brahim, Lazhar; Haouari, Mohamed; Al-Emadi, Nasser Ahmed ( Elsevier Ltd , 2017 , Article Review)Several potential benefits to the quality and reliability of delivered power can be attained with the installation of distributed generation units. To take full advantage of these benefits, it is essential to place optimally ... -
Robust Adaptive Observer-Based Model Predictive Control for Multilevel Flying Capacitors Inverter
Ghanes, Malek; Trabelsi, Mohamed; Abu-Rub, Haitham; Ben-Brahim, Lazhar ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Article)This paper presents an adaptive observer (AO)-based model predictive control (MPC) for a multilevel flying capacitors inverter (FCI). The proposed system consists of a midpoint dc-link three-cell four-level FCI feeding an ... -
Space vector pulse width modulation techniques for a five-phase impedeance source and quazi impedeance source inverters
Abduallah, Ahmad Anad; Iqbal, Atif; Ben-Brahim, Lazhar ( IEEE , 2015 , Conference Paper)Impedance source inverter (ZSI) and its variant quasi impedance source inverter (qZSI) are single stage inverters that transform dc to ac and boost the source voltage at the same time. These topologies have attracted great ... -
Speed control of induction motor without rotational transducers
Ben-Brahim, Lazhar; Tadakuma, Susumu; Akdag, Alper ( IEEE , 1999 , Article)This paper describes a newly developed speed sensorless drive based on neural networks. A backpropagation neural network is used to provide real-time adaptive identification of the motor speed. The estimation objective is ... -
Thyristor based SVC and multilevel qZSI for Active and Reactive power management in solar PV system
Rahman, Syed; Meraj, Mohammad; Iqbal, Atif; Ben-Brahim, Lazhar; Alammari, Rashid ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)In this paper, Active and Reactive power management with the utility grid is achieved by integrating 7-level quasi Impedance Source Inverter (qZSI) with Thyristor based elements (Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC) and ... -
Time-Dependent Bit Error Rate Analysis for Smart Utility Networks in the Presence of WLAN Interferers
Gouissem, Ala; Hamila, Ridha; Al-Dhahir, Naofal; Ben-Brahim, Lazhar; Gastli, Adel ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Article)The smart grid (SG) modernizes the aging power grid by using two-way reliable communications dedicated to adaptive energy management. To achieve this goal, smart utility networks (SUNs) are used to efficiently connect the ... -
Transformerless Microinverter with Low Leakage Current Circulation and Low Input Capacitance Requirement for PV Applications
Khan, Ahmad Mirdad (2017 , Master Thesis)The inevitable depletion of limited fossil fuels combined with their harmful footprint on the environment led to a global pursuit for alternative energy sources that are clean and inexhaustible. Renewable energies such as ... -
A wavelet-based passive islanding detection technique
Fayyad, Yara; Ben-Brahim, Lazhar ( IEEE , 2012 , Conference Paper)Distribution power systems are radial in nature. Power flows in one direction from the utility to the load. Most protection, monitoring, and control devices are designed based on this unidirectional flow of power. Distributed ...
