Abstract

This research aims to propose a power management strategy (PMS) based on the flatness control method for a stand-alone DC microgrid system. The goal of the proposed strategy is to create an efficient PMS using nonlinear flatness theory in order to provide a constant DC bus voltage and the best possible power-sharing mechanism between the battery and the PV array. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on an artificial neural network (ANN) to optimize the PV's power. Moreover, the suggested PMS technique was tested in a simulation environment based on MATLAB®/Simulink. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed PMS method can stabilize the bus voltage under variations in load or solar radiation. Additionally, the PMS method reduced bus voltage spikes and guaranteed good power quality, which extended the battery's lifespan and increased its efficiency. Also, the proposed approach outperforms the standard PI approach in terms of tracking efficiency and has a lower rate of overshoot in the bus voltage under different load scenarios. Therefore, the method is effective when compared with the classical PI approach. The overshoot in the PI method is 58 V, while the overshoot in the DC voltage is 5 V in the proposed method. The tracking speed of the proposed system is very low, and the slower speed was observed in the classical method, and the rise time of PI was 7.9ms, while the proposed method equals 2.2ms.

Abstract

Simulations were conducted to improve and design an appropriate control system and obtain a model with the required development to suit the operation of the engine with constant and variable loads, which are the proposed working conditions that are suitable for many applications. The current simulation aims to build and design a model for an electric motor (DC Servo motor) and a model for a conventional controller (PID). The proposed model addresses the cases of fixed and variable loads in terms of using the controller that improves the performance of the motor’s work for different conditions. Three cases were developed to conduct the proposed tests, which included the case of no-load, fixed and variable load. Tests were conducted. Without the console and for the purpose of comparison and observation of improvement, the test was conducted with the addition of the console. The results showed system performance may improve depending on usage using traditional control systems. Performance measurement criteria are adopted for the purpose of comparison and observation of performance improvement. The criteria that are adopted are rise time and stability (steady state) in addition to the ratio of the rate of under and over-shoot. Where it can be deduced from this the possibility of using different control systems, including traditional ones, to improve performance, and they include controlling the speed of the motors, as well as controlling the effort, and the consequent effects on the subject of the study, as it deals with transient cases and changing operating conditions with more than acceptable efficiency and relatively high quality. There are four state simulation include, 1st at no load without controller: rise time equal  309.886ms , overshoot equal  44.203% and undershoot equal 9.597%.2nd  at load without controller: rise time equal  216.319ms , overshoot equal  58.654% and undershoot equal 0.210%.3rd  at no load with PID controller: rise time equal  1.177s , overshoot equal  0.505% and undershoot equal 1.914%.4th   at load with PID controller: rise time equal  1.112s , overshoot equal  0.509% and undershoot equal 5.856%.

Abstract

Some systems require mechanical power, which can be used in many applications, including rotating vehicle wheels, pulling elevators, and moving robot limbs, etc. Mechanical or kinetic energy can be produced and generated from electrical machines, which can be represented by an electric motor, which is a machine that operates on electrical energy, i.e. input energy, and produces mechanical energy, i.e. output energy. One of the most common and widely used motors is the DC motor, which has features that make it a matter of interest to researchers, producing and manufacturing companies to develop and improve its performance. The motor is characterized by flexibility, low cost, durability, and the ability to control the speed and position of the rotating member using traditional, expert and intelligent control systems to achieve appropriate performance according to the field of application. In linear systems, traditional systems (Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller (PID) have succeeded, while their performance is weak and unacceptable in nonlinear systems. Therefore, expert and intelligent control systems are relied upon to improve the performance of electric motors. It is proposed to implement and operate an electric motor control system using the genetic algorithm to verify its effectiveness in improving performance compared to the traditional one (PID). The genetic algorithm was chosen to address the optimization challenges because it is commonly used in artificial intelligence applications in various fields that are suitable for real time. Therefore, this study presented improving the performance of the traditional controller using the genetic algorithm. Through comparison, the possibility of improving the system performance with changing operating conditions was verified by adjusting the parameters of the traditional controller. The simulation was performed using Matlab, and the DC motor specifications included a rated voltage of 32.4 V, a rated current of 2 A, a rated speed of 536 rad/s, and a power of 54 watts. The conventional controller is responsible for the basic feedback control, while the GA-PID controller optimizes the control parameters to improve the system performance.

Abstract

Achieving high voltage and efficiency in brushless direct current (BLDC) motor applications is challenging, particularly in industrial settings where precise speed control is essential. This study addresses this issue by designing a cascaded boost converter with a Proportional–integral–derivative (PID) speed controller. The cascaded boost converter is first simulated in an open-loop circuit using MATLAB/SIMULINK, followed by integrating the BLDC motor and adding a PID controller to achieve precise speed control. The PID controller achieved a steady-state speed of 1500 rad/s with an input voltage of 15 volts, resulting in an output voltage of over 50 volts. The efficiency of the system was improved by 87.87% compared to traditional methods. While the PID controller effectively controls the motor speed, it may consume more power and require more complex tuning in certain operating conditions. The proposed system is suitable for high-voltage industrial applications, such as electric vehicle drives and renewable energy systems, where precise speed control and high efficiency are critical.  The PID controller is user-friendly and easy to implement, making it suitable for various industrial applications. The system was tested under varying load conditions and input voltages to ensure robust performance and reliability. Future work will optimize the PID controller for real-time applications and integrate advanced control strategies to enhance system performance. A cascaded boost converter is a type of DC-DC converter that boosts the input voltage to a higher level, while a PID controller is a control loop feedback mechanism widely used for precise control of dynamic systems.

Abstract

Experimental work systems with remote access to the laboratory are an inseparable part of engineering education at universities. Many important factors contribute to enhancing overall performance in terms of stability, reliability, and robustness. These include time responses, time delays, inverse responses, significant nonlinearities, multivariable interactions, and modeling uncertainties. This work examines four scenarios for the thermo-optical plant: open-loop PID, a close-loop system without control, a close-loop with PID controller, and a close-loop with a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller combined with Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), with the goal of achieving the optimal response for a remote thermo-optical plant. The results indicate that scenario four exhibits a smaller percentage overshoot compared to the other scenarios, thereby ensuring a larger stability margin. It outperforms the other three scenarios and significantly enhances the system. The response speed demonstrates a greater percentage of improvement (74.05%).

The aim of the study is to monitor the production quality of a product that is an engine used in the application of a hair dryer. The methodology followed, the hair dryer model was chosen to verify the possibility of improving the product quality using fuzzy logic and comparing the traditional Shewhart control charts (p-chart) with the fuzzy p-chart in the context of manufacturing, and the collected data were processed using Minitab 21 Statistical Software. The performance of a control chart using fuzzy logic was measured for the proposed industrial product type with specifications for 300 samples of the constant size and a production period of 25 days to identify the product quality. The basic criterion for drawing the chart using fuzzy logic depends on the fuzzy ordering function for each of w, λ and its values are within the limits of (0 < λ or w ≤ 1) is a weighting parameter. The necessary tests were conducted to monitor the product quality using (w = 0.1, 0.2) and (λ = 0.1, 0.2) when the fuzzy ordering function is used. Results, it was found that the fuzzy p-chart was more sensitive to process changes and could detect shifts in defect ratio faster and more accurately, the production process was under statistical control and within quality control limits, and the conventional deviation from nominal control charts showed a false alarm for the observation as out of control. Recommendations, the present method can be used to improve product quality and reduce defects for the motor department.

Abstract

The current paper aims to explore the possibility of improving the performance of one of the important systems (boost DC-DC converter) in the field of electrical energy by contributing to the use of electronic power converters to provide the scheduled voltage to the loads with changing operating conditions using traditional (PID control) and expert (Neuro-fuzzy logic control) methods. Test cases are proposed to verify the possibility of improvement and the effectiveness of the system through approved measurement criteria such as improving stability, response time, efficiency, or a performance measure for overshoot and undershoot rates and rise time in addition to steady-state error through which comparison can be made to know the best between the methodology used to evaluate the performance of PID controllers and ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System). The current paper deals with a study of the operation of non-linear DC-DC Converters with a Neuro-Fuzzy Controller. To verify the system's effectiveness, proposed tests are conducted to simulate operation in real-time. The assumptions adopted are that the input voltage value is available from a direct current source with a voltage of (12) volts, and what is required to supply a load with a voltage ranging between (22-120) depending on the load change. The necessary calculations were made to calculate the converter parameters. The required inductance value was (160μH) and the capacitance value was (276μF). The simulation test was conducted using a model consisting of a resistive load and a step-up converter in addition to the supply source in both the open-loop and closed-loop system states. System tests were also conducted in the presence of the proposed controllers to verify the system's effectiveness.

Abstract

There is a growing interest in studying the single-phase induction motor due to its wide use in many applications, the most important of which are domestic and industrial. A simulation model is built by implementing and running the model using MATLAB to identify the system behavior of the induction motor. To study and analyze the system behavior in different cases, it is proposed to implement and run the model in two ways: the first without control techniques and the second using control techniques. Tests are conducted according to a methodology based on scenarios that include all expected cases that can be assumed to suit real-time operation. To evaluate control strategies, the clear effect between their use and non-use must be demonstrated through clear measurement criteria to include response speed and performance improvement. In induction motor tests, the focus is on electrical and mechanical quantities and the transient and steady state of the system, including a 220-volt supply voltage and a 50 Hz frequency. The initial test case refers to using the model to simulate three cases: the first without load, the second with a constant load of one newton meter, and the third operating the motor as a pump by changing the load according to the pumping quantity and linked to the motor output. After conducting these tests, the different simulation results can be indicated in terms of the change in electrical and mechanical quantities over time during the proposed operating period. The results showed the high starting current that may affect the motor, and the response time for the motor to operate at the rated speed can be considered. Therefore, this requires the use of techniques to improve performance and provide response speed with a gradual increase in the starting current to protect the motor from high starting current. Voltage and frequency control techniques, as well as voltage-to-frequency ratio and another technique representing the voltage source inverter, were used. The results indicate a clear improvement through the stability of the motor by operating with a short response time compared to other cases and the specified rotational speed and specified torque, which shows a relatively high-efficiency performance.
