The book is a collection of high-quality peer-reviewed research papers presented in the Proceedings of International Conference on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems (ICPERES 2014) held at Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai, India. These research papers provide the latest developments in the broad area of Power Electronics and Renewable Energy. The book discusses wide variety of industrial, engineering and scientific applications of the emerging techniques. It presents invited papers from the inventors/originators of new applications and advanced technologies.

This LNEE volume contains the papers presented at the International Conference
on Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems (ICPERES 2014) held during
April 25 and 26, 2014 at Rajalakshmi Engineering College, Chennai, India.
ICPERES 2014 received 250 paper submissions from various countries across the
globe. After a rigorous peer-review process, 110 full-length articles were accepted
for oral presentation at the conference. This corresponds to an acceptance rate of
44 % and is intended for maintaining the high standards of the conference proceedings.
The papers included in this LNEE volume cover a wide range of topics in
Wind Energy Electric Conversion Systems, Solar Energy, Fuel Cells, Hybrid
Energy Systems, Energy Conservation and Auditing, FACTS, Smart Grid Systems,
Power Quality, Power Electronic Converters, Power System Operation and Control,
Power Factor and Efficiency improvement, Induction Machines, Special Machines,
Optimization Techniques, and their applications for solving problems in these areas.
The conference also featured four distinguished keynote speakers. The lecture by
B.K. Panigrahi of IIT Delhi, India on “Applied Swarm Intelligence: A power
system perspective” included the application of swarm algorithms to power
systems, power electronics and drives. The lecture made an excellent start to the
two-day conference. P. Valsalal from Anna University, Chennai, India gave a talk
on “Sustainable energy for modern energy requirements.” P. Dananjayan from
Pondicherry Engineering College, in his lecture on “Quasi-Resonant converter-fed
DC Drives” described in detail various considerations in the design of these drives.
G. Uma from Anna University, Chennai in her lecture on “Micro grid and its
control algorithms” gave an elaborate explanation of the analysis, modeling, and
working of the different components which form the Micro grid. All these lectures
generated great interest among the participants of ICPERES 2014 in paying more
attention to these important topics in their research work.
We take this opportunity to thank the authors of all the submitted papers for their
hard work, adherence to the deadlines and suitably incorporating the changes
suggested by the reviewers. The quality of a refereed volume depends mainly on the
expertise and dedication of the reviewers. We are indebted to the Program Committee
members for their guidance and coordination in organizing the review process. We would also like to thank our sponsors for providing all the support and
financial assistance. We are indebted to the Chairman, Chairperson, CEO, Advisor,
Principal, Vice-principal, faculty members, and administrative personnel of Rajalakshmi
Engineering College for supporting our cause and encouraging us to
organize the conference in a grand scale. We would like to express our heartfelt
thanks to B.K. Panigrahi and S.S. Dash for providing valuable guidelines and
suggestions in the conduct of the various parallel sessions in the conference. We
would also like to thank all the participants for their interest and enthusiastic
involvement. Finally, we would like to thank all the volunteers, whose tireless
efforts in meeting the deadlines and arranging every detail meticulously, made sure
