Steady-state and transient response of the active power filter based on instantaneous power theory compensation method is dependent on the accurately and quickly extract the DC component of load active power. In this paper, for improving the response of this method, the numerical filter based on recursive least squares with variable forgetting factor in order to separation of DC component of load active power is proposed. Unlike conventional low-pass filters, the feature of designed numerical filter is independent of load harmonic components, quick and precision of the answer. Also, using wavelet transform the performance of active power filter under the non-ideal voltage condition is improved. Finally, the second order delta-sigma modulation is used to generate the switching pulses. Simulation results on MATLAB / SIMULINK software shows that the proposed method is properly.

The development of renewable energy sources, distributed generation, energy storage and nonlinear controllable loads in modern distribution networks has led to the consideration of the state estimation in intelligent and active distribution networks. The performance of the Energy Management Central's distribution network depends on the results of the state estimation. In this paper, two-stage estimation with the network reduction process is proposed. The number of distribution network meter is low, so obtaining accurate initial information from network conditions improves performance state estimation. The initial state estimation with the network reduction process to obtain accurate initial data is performed. The initial data are used as a measure to improve the performance of secondary estimation. This method solves the problem of scarcity of accurate measurements and improves the accuracy of the state estimation in distribution network. The results of the proposed methodology are demonstrated on the 69 nodes of IEEE  standard distribution network.

Wind powers are very unstable in voltage fluctuations, especially in short circuit error and sharp and sudden voltage drops, which one of its main reasons is the use of induction generators in these power plants and thus need to reactive power and high magnetizing current. To improve the ride_through voltage from WECS in error conditions and damping the oscillations of the induction generator rotor, a UPFC is used the controller FOPID is used in UPFC controllers for the first time. Since FOPID has two parameters more than IOPID, it has recently attracted much attention (needing more work and research motivation) as it gives more flexibility to a control system designing and a better opportunity to adjust the system dynamics, especially, if a system is to be controlled be a fractional system. The investigations indicate that controller FOPID adjusted by presented PSO algorithm, show improved dynamic performance than traditional PID and feedback controller in a wide range of operating conditions.

Overcoming the problem of transmission lines or a region of the power system congestion is one of the important issues facing the operators. In the meantime, in addition to choosing the appropriate method to relief transmission line congestion, the process should be implemented with the aim of minimizing the imposed costs. In this article, in order to optimally control the transmission lines congestion, an integrated method including management of the production and demand side of the systems along with the use of the flexibility of multi-carrier energy systems (electricity, gas and heat) is presented. The congestion alleviation technique is analyzed in the two modes of independent operation of the power system and integrated operation of multi-carrier systems, and their results have been compared. Also, taking into consideration the scenario of transmission line congestion with the simultaneous outage of a power generation unit, the effect of energy storage in solving this problem has also been studied. The simulation of scenarios and the evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed method have been implemented in a multi-carrier energy system including the IEEE 39 bus power system in combination with the Belgian 20-node gas network and several energy hubs. The evaluation of the obtained results shows a significant reduction in the congestion management costs in the mode of integrated operation with the rescheduling of generation and consumption compared to the independent operation of the power system. In addition, it was proved that the properly storage and discharge of all types of energy can be successful in order to optimize (at least 10%) the imposed costs.
