Abstract

The purpose of this article is to give an overview to the current energy crisis of Pakistan. Pakistan is an energy deficient country and the current power crisis of Pakistan is hampering its economic development. This article investigates the main causes that have led to the current power shortage of Pakistan. An overview is given to the major causes such as ineffective power policies, ineffective distribution system and tariff system that have led to the current power shortage in Pakistan. Additionally, the possible measures that can help to address these issues and help Pakistan overcome its power crisis are also being presented.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the design and analysis of a three level neutral point clamped grid connected inverter using fuel cell as a green energy source. Three different controllers that is a boost dc to dc converter, a power controller and a current controller were being modeled and simulated on matlab. The system was being investigated using a PI controller and a sliding mode controller. Simulation results show that the sliding mode controller shows a superior performance of the active power control and the voltage regulation capability as compared to a simple PI controller under voltage sag conditions.
