In this work, a wide range of reactive power compensation is achieved for voltage unbalance mitigation in 500 km electrical power systems. An Optimal Control Technique (OCT) is proposed to encompass the unbalance load changes at a wide range of Voltage Unbalance Factor (VUF), between 3.33% and 12.4601%, and to minimize it to an acceptable value (at average less than 2%). The technique uses a combination of Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in three stages. In the first stage, the PSO finds the optimal firing angles of the Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) and the optimal number of bank capacitors for the Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC) to restore the voltage balance. In the second stage, the voltage unbalance evaluations obtained by the PSO algorithm are used to train the ANN. In the third stage, the ANN is connected to the system to control and overcome the voltage unbalance problem accurately and quickly. Results are compared with other techniques available in the literature to confirm the superiority of the OCT performance. Furthermore, a laboratory model for the electrical power system is built and the proposed OCT for real voltage unbalance mitigation is validated.

This paper describes a MATLAB package for structural model updating, named SMU. The SMU package updates parameter values of a finite element model by solving optimization problems utilizing modal properties obtained from sensor measurements. In particular, the package offers three model updating formulations, namely, (1) the modal assurance criterion value approach, (2) the eigenvector difference approach, and (3) the modal dynamic residual formulation. The first two belong to the family of modal property difference formulations. For each formulation, the analytical Jacobian derivative of the objective function is derived and implemented in SMU. Since the formulated optimization problems are generally nonconvex, the global optimality of the solution cannot be guaranteed using off-the-shelf optimization algorithms. In order to increase the chance of finding a better local minimum, the SMU package can perform gradient search from randomly generated starting points. Several examples for the model updating of as-built structures are included in the GitHub package. This paper demonstrates the SMU functionality through model updating of an 18-DOF model and a concrete building frame model.
