Abstract
Stray magnetic field is one of the main issues in design of transformers, since it causes non-ideal behavior of transformers. One of the techniques is usually adopted to mitigate the unwanted stray magnetic field is the use of auxiliary windings creating a magnetic field opposite to the incident one giving rise to the reduction of the total magnetic fields. This paper presents a new mathematical proof for optimized parameters such as connection resistance and leakage inductance of the auxiliary windings based on state equations. Some numerical examples for various types of practical transformers are given to demonstrate the validity of the presented mathematical proof and a comparison is made with the results of transformers behavior which is obtained with the help of finite element method. The proposed method is successfully implemented on three different types of transformers: current injection transformer, pulse transformer and superconductor transformers.

Abstract
The principle object of this paper is to offer a modified design of Rogowski coil based on its frequency response. The improvement of the integrator circuit for nullifying the phase difference between the waveforms of the measured-current and the corresponding terminal voltage is a further object of this investigation.
This paper addresses an accurate, yet more efficient measuring and protecting device for low frequency applications. This requires verification for the simulations by physical descriptions and experimental results. These validate the superior performance of Rogowski coils over conventional current transformers.

Abstract
The design process of a superconducting current limiter (SFCL) requires simulation and definition of its electrical, magnetic and thermal properties in form of equivalent circuits and mathematical models. However, any change in SFCL parameters: dimension, resistance, and operating temperature can affect the limiting mode, quench time, and restore time. In this paper, following the simulation of electrical and thermal behavior of resistive and inductive SFCLs and investigation on their performance variation responded to change parameters, the best design cases will be selected by using multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques. As a case study, to evaluate proposed MCDM approaches in design of superconducting fault current limiter, a model in which a SFCL is located at an outgoing feeder in a 20 kV distribution substation will be considered and best designs will be presented for both resistive and inductive type.

Abstract
Congestion in the transmission lines is one of the technical problems that appear particularly in the deregulated environment. The voltage stability issue gets more important because of heavy loading in this environment. The main factor causing instability is the inability of the power system to meet the demand for reactive power. This paper presents a new approach for alleviation congestion relieving cost by feeding required reactive power of system in addition to re-dispatching active power of generators and load shedding. Furthermore with considering different static load models in congestion management problem with both thermal and voltage instability criteria, tries to the evaluated congestion management cost become more real, accurate and acceptable. The voltage stability is a dynamic phenomenon but often static tools are used for investigating the stability conditions, so this work offers new method that considers two snapshots after contingency to consider voltage stability phenomena more accurate. This algorithm uses different preventive and corrective actions to improve unsuitable voltage stability margin after contingency. The proposed method is tested on IEEE 24-bus Reliability test system, the simulation results shows the effectiveness of the method.

Abstract
In this paper, the Vector Based Swarm Optimization method is used for designing an optimal controller for the maximum power point tracker of a stand-alone PV System. The proposed algorithm is executed on vectors in a multi-dimension vector space. These vectors by appropriated orientation converge to a global optimum while the algorithm runs. The Remarkable point of the VBSO algorithm is how using completely random coefficients have good influence on algorithm performance. The generated energy is delivered to a boost converter including a resistive load. The duty cycle of the converter’s switch is determined in order to minimize generated power deviation, relative to PV voltage.

Abstract
Distributed generation (DG) will play an important role in future power generation systems, especially in stand-alone applications. Three phase four-leg inverter is a well-known topology which can be used as an interface power converter for DGs. Thanks to the fourth leg to provide the neutral path, the four-leg inverter is able to supply balanced loads as well as unbalanced loads. In this paper, the model of a three phase four-leg inverter with the fourth leg inductor in the αβγ reference frame is investigated thoroughly. Afterward, a decoupled model of the four-leg inverter is adopted to establish the proposed control method. Among non-linear control methods, pole-placement method is a famous solution to ensure fast transient response. Hence, in this paper, a pole-placement method via state feedback is proposed to control the output voltage of the four-leg inverter. Using this method, the transient performance of the system can be adjusted well. On the other hand, to guarantee good performance of the control system under steady state condition, a lead compensator is proposed to be used with the pole-placement method. Therefore, the proposed control system not only can provide fast dynamic response but also, it ensures very low steady state error. To validate the superior performance of the proposed control method, simulation and experimental results under various loading condition are provided based on a DSP-based digital control system.

Abstract
Among a multitude of diverse control methods proposed for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based-wind energy conversion systems, direct power control (DPC) method has demonstrated superior dynamic performance and robustness in presence of disturbances. However, DPC is not a flawless method and shortcomings like necessity for high sampling frequency, high-speed sensors and less noise-affected sampling circuit need to be mitigated by utilizing fuzzy controllers. Parameter setting in a fuzzy controller plays a vital role, especially under non-ideal grid conditions. In this paper, a fuzzy-genetic algorithm-based direct power control (FGA-DPC) method is proposed for DFIG, while, the parameters of the fuzzy controller are optimized by genetic algorithm. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the stator active and reactive power errors to increase the precision of reference tracking. The objectives of the controller are also optimizing active power absorption based on the zone of operation and adjustment of reactive power according to grid requirements. The proposed method improves the overall precision and speed of transient response as well as significantly reducing power oscillations under non-ideal grid conditions. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, extensive simulations are performed in Matlab/Simulink under different conditions.

Abstract
Curtailment of the production of wind resources due to uncertainty can affect the expansion of the transmission networks. The issue that needs to be addressed is how to expand the transmission network, which is accompanied by increasing wind energy utilization. In this paper, a new framework is proposed to solve the transmission expansion planning (TEP) problem in the presence of wind farms, considering wind curtailment cost. The proposed model is a risk-constrained stochastic bi-level problem that, the difference between the expected social welfare and investment cost is maximized at the upper level where optimal decisions on expansion plans are adopted by the independent system operator (ISO). To make the best use of wind generation resources, a new term called wind power curtailment cost is added to the upper level. Also, the risk index is included in expansion decisions. The market-clearing is considered at the lower level, aiming at maximizing social welfare. Uncertainties relating to wind power and the forecasted demand are modeled by sets of scenarios. Using duality theory, the proposed framework is modeled as mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem. The model is examined using the classical Garver’s six-bus test system and the IEEE 24-bus reliability test system (RTS). The results show that by considering the wind curtailment cost, the transmission network is expanded in a way that increases the wind energy utilization factor from 92.05% to 95.17%.
