Abstract

This paper proposes a Levy flight global maximum power point tracking for solar photovoltaic (PV) system under partial shading conditions. The proposed method comes with merits such as simplicity, fast response and free of oscillation. This algorithm uses random search over the exploration space and compares the previous and current states to obtain the best solution. For evaluation and comparative analysis, performance of the proposed method is also measured against Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). All three algorithms are simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Simulation results are satisfactory over the conducted tests under uniform and non-uniform irradiance. The proposed algorithm is able to track global maximum power point (GMPP) under partial shading conditions with fast tracking time and zero ripple at steady-state.

Abstract

This paper describes the performance enhancement of double stator permanent magnet synchronous machines (DS-PMSM) based on genetic algorithm optimization (GAO). Generally, throughout the development stage, an analytical calculation is implemented to build the initial model of the DS-PMSM since the analytical calculation can provide the initial parameters based on the types and materials used in the machine design. For further improvement, GAO might potentially be applied to provide the optimization technique in searching the optimal motor parameters iteratively and intelligently with specific objective functions. For this aim, a three-phase, DS-PMSM with different number of slots between the outer and inner stators is first designed by using analytical parameter estimation and then later optimized by GAO. The outer and inner stators have 12-slots and 9-slots respectively, while, the rotor carries 10 magnetic poles. Four main input motor parameters, i.e. outer stator slot opening, outer magnet pole arc, inner stator slot opening and inner magnet pole arc are varied and optimized to achieve the design objective functions, i.e. high output torque, low torque ripple, low cogging torque and low total harmonic distortion (THDv). The results from the optimized GAO are compared with the initial motor model and further validated by finite element method (FEM). The results show a good agreement between GAO and FEM. GAO has achieved very significant improvements in enhancing the machine performance.

Abstract

This paper presents a design of 15-slot/12-pole, five-phase, surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).  The five-phase PMSM can be an attractive solution to few applications that demand fault tolerant capability such as in aerospace engineering and electric propulsion. The motor model is first investigated based on the implementation of analytical method. The analytical method derived from the subdomain model of the permanent magnet machine is initially applied to estimate the magnetic flux density distributions for the radial component Br and the tangential component Bt in the machine air gap. Other important motor characteristics such as phase back-EMF, line back-EMF, cogging torque and electromagnetic torque are also calculated. The analytically calculated results are then compared with the numerical method in a 2D finite element analysis. Additionally, the capability of this PMSM model against faulty conditions are further investigated. The results show that the analytical model of the 15-slot/12-pole, five-phase PMSM provides very accurate motor performance within acceptable error margin. For instance, the average electromagnetic torques, inclusive of the cogging torque, as computed by the analytical and numerical methods are 5.53Nm and 5.33Nm respectively, yielding an error of 3.6%. During faulty conditions, the PMSM can possibly continue to operate with lower output torque, about 60% to 80% of its rated torque, when one-phase or two phase windings are out of service.

Abstract

An economical approach for testing Vehicle Instrument Panel is proposed in this paper due to high expenditure of purchasing the available Commercial Off-The-Shelf Hardware-In-The-Loop. Vehicle Instrument Panel is designated as the Device-Under-Test in this paper. The Hardware-In-The-Loop, designated as the test equipment, will simulate the assigned input signals controllable via designed Graphical User Interface. The resulting display is shown on the Graphical User Interface and the Device-Under-Test. The speedometer gauge measurement showed the highest disparity of 4 km/h which is within the tolerance of the pre-determined specification of the Device-Under-Test.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an improved load flow formulation for solving load flow problem in radial distribution networks. The improved algorithm is formulated from the basic Kirchoff’s voltage law. The proposed method does not need any matrix multiplication, and the voltage equation is derived to compute the voltage at each node. The proposed method is then tested on 28-bus, IEEE-33 and IEEE-69 systems of radial distribution networks with different resistance to reactance ratio and different condition of loads. The simulation results from the suggested algorithm show that the proposed method has fast convergence capability compared with other existing methods. A very good agreement is achieved.
