exploited as versatile and high quality energy products
 Utilities in many developing countries are finding it difficult to
establish and maintain remote rural area electrification and other
needs
 The cost of delivering power to such areas is becoming excessively
large due to large investments in transmission lines and large

RESULTS & DISCUSSION
There is a sudden drop in the voltage due to sudden application of such a large load
There is an abrupt rise in the stator currents up-to 1.75pu due to sudden application of such a large
load. However, there is a slight departure of stator currents due to the use of uncontrolled rectifier.
 The speed drops suddenly below 0.99pu as shown in Fig. 4.5. There is also a transient at 0.1
second in the power dumped which finally settles down to a steady-state value of 10kW.
Voltage rises initially beyond 1pu and in about 0.2 seconds it settles to 1pu.
Stator currents shoot up beyond 1pu initially but settle to 1pu in about 0.1 second
As the generator is loaded up to its rated capacity, there is an initial transient in the power dumped
which reduces to zero after sometime
The speed contains lesser number of transients as compared with the case of sudden load
application
CONCLUSION
Small change in speed/frequency of the system has been observed but the variation is
within the safe limits. The current and voltage waveforms are slightly distorted due to
the use of uncontrolled rectifier
The frequency ,voltage and other parameters of the alternator are restored in a very
short duration
Lesser transients and overshoots are there due to the fuzzy logic based controller
design and the operating parameters get restored to their normal values in a very short
duration
Fuzzy logic controller based on ANN technique thus proves to be a strong candidate
for designing the electronic load controller as compared to other conventional
controllers
With the help of fuzzy logic controller, it is possible to control the sophisticated
systems without the inclusion of complex mathematical equations
FUTURE SCOPE
State space model can be developed for PI and PID based controllers
Controller design can be improved by using neuro-fuzzy or other artificial
intelligence control tools
 STATCOM can also be integrated with ELC for reduction in the harmonic content
of the rectified voltage for better regulation
The design can be practically developed and validated for the results in the
laboratory
Analysis can be done for inductive dump load
A comparative study can be done for the ELC design based on PI, PID, PD and
artificial intelligence techniques

RESULTS & DISCUSSION There is a sudden drop in the voltage due to sudden application of such a large load There is an abrupt rise in the stator currents up-to 1.75pu due to sudden application of such a large load. However, there is a slight departure of stator currents due to the use of uncontrolled rectifier.  The speed drops suddenly below 0.99pu as shown in Fig. 4.5. There is also a transient at 0.1 second in the power dumped which finally settles down to a steady-state value of 10kW. Voltage rises initially beyond 1pu and in about 0.2 seconds it settles to 1pu. Stator currents shoot up beyond 1pu initially but settle to 1pu in about 0.1 second As the generator is loaded up to its rated capacity, there is an initial transient in the power dumped which reduces to zero after sometime The speed contains lesser number of transients as compared with the case of sudden load application
  • 37. CONCLUSION Small change in speed/frequency of the system has been observed but the variation is within the safe limits. The current and voltage waveforms are slightly distorted due to the use of uncontrolled rectifier The frequency ,voltage and other parameters of the alternator are restored in a very short duration Lesser transients and overshoots are there due to the fuzzy logic based controller design and the operating parameters get restored to their normal values in a very short duration Fuzzy logic controller based on ANN technique thus proves to be a strong candidate for designing the electronic load controller as compared to other conventional controllers With the help of fuzzy logic controller, it is possible to control the sophisticated systems without the inclusion of complex mathematical equations
  • 38. FUTURE SCOPE State space model can be developed for PI and PID based controllers Controller design can be improved by using neuro-fuzzy or other artificial intelligence control tools  STATCOM can also be integrated with ELC for reduction in the harmonic content of the rectified voltage for better regulation The design can be practically developed and validated for the results in the laboratory Analysis can be done for inductive dump load A comparative study can be done for the ELC design based on PI, PID, PD and artificial intelligence techniques
