Abstract

This work proposes a new conception of the global microstrip rectenna system operating around 2.45 GHz. This improved rectenna system associates a receiving antenna with a rectifier circuit. This rectenna is printed on an FR4 substrate. The proposed antenna is a 1×4 microstrip antenna patch array with pentagonal patches using the defective ground structure method and operates with circular polarization. To show the effectiveness of this array, the results obtained by the computer simulation technology microwave studio (CST MWS) software prove that this array is good in terms of high gain, high directivity, high efficiency, wideband, small volume, and well-adaptation, and all these results are confirmed by another solver high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS). The improved rectifier is a microstrip rectifier that uses an HSMS2852 Schottky diode by using a series topology. The effectiveness of this rectifier is proved by the simulation results using advanced design system (ADS) software in terms of well-matching input impedance, high efficiency, and important output direct current (DC) voltage value. The proposed rectenna system is more efficient compared with the existing works and is very appropriate for several applications of wireless power transmission to power supply electronic instruments in various fields cleanly on our planet.

Abstract

This paper presents a fault-estimation approach for utility-scale wind turbines that combines Takagi–Sugeno (TS) fuzzy modeling with a sliding-mode observer (SMO). The nonlinear dynamics of the 4.8 MW benchmark turbine are represented by a TS structure, enabling an LMI-based synthesis of a robust TS–SMO. The proposed observer reconstructs both actuator faults affecting generator torque and sensor faults in blade-pitch measurements. MATLAB/Simulink validations under realistic operating conditions (operating-point variations, wind fluctuations, and disturbances) demonstrate accurate tracking and fast, stable fault reconstruction over the complete simulation horizon. Performance is assessed using the Normalized Sum of Squared Errors (NSSE): the reconstructed faults exhibit low NSSE values in the considered fault scenarios, with the blade-pitch sensor fault achieving NSSE =0.087 %. These results indicate reliable fault estimation while maintaining bounded residuals and avoiding drift. The method relies on standard industrial signals and entails modest online computations (matrix operations and a bounded switching term), facilitating integration into existing condition-monitoring and fault-tolerant control architectures. Overall, TS-guided sliding-mode observation is shown to be an effective and robust solution for wind-turbine fault diagnosis under nonlinearities and exogenous perturbations.
