Abstract

This paper analyzes the feasibility of converting brushed direct current (BDC) to brushless direct current (BLDC) motor by substituting the wound rotor with a permanent magnet. The aim is to overcome the low quality of rewinding of wound rotors. The conversion was performed by redesigning the motor, referring to the old stator dimensions and motor specifications. Some suitable speed control systems were also examined. Technical analysis was executed by simulating motor characteristics, covering torque-speed curve, cogging, and ripple torques. Afterward, an economic analysis was done to determine the cost of making one rotor unit and the speed control and then compare it with the price of a new BDC motor with equivalent power. The results show that the motor produces 3.6 kW, 18.86 V, 176.71 A, and 28.53 Nm at 2,460 rpm with 2 phases configuration. The maximum cogging torque is 2.9 Nm. The cost of making one rotor unit plus speed control is higher than that of a new BDC motor. These results show that it is technically feasible to convert BDC into a BLDC motor but not economically or vice versa.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the performance of a pico hydropower plant consisting of an axial hydro turbine integrated with a permanent magnet generator (PMG) and connected to a power converter. The proposed system is aimed to obtain a wide system operation range to gain more power captured while maintaining time-harmonic distortion in voltage (THDv) that meets the standard. The PMG specification is 1 kW, 1 phase, 235 V, 50 Hz, 83 rpm. The design and simulation of PMG were carried out by analytical and numerical calculations using FEMM 4.2. The power converter was simulated using PSIM and functions to reduce the THDv and pass the generator voltage between 50–500 V. The results show the THDv of the generating system at the upper and lower limits of the passed voltage having a THDv below 5%. Meanwhile, the PMG performance characteristics at various currents and rotations produce efficiency of 87.20% at nominal current. From these results, it can be concluded that the pico hydropower plant works well as desired.

Abstract

In solar power systems, irradiance value data are among the most important parameters. Such data can be used in installing photovoltaic (PV) modules, such as determining the exact location, tilt angle, and required area, for optimal power efficiency. In this study, the comprehensive simulation and implementation of a solar radiation meter with a PV cell and temperature sensor are presented. The irradiance measurement value is based on the power reading generated by the small capacity of the PV cell at a specific load converted into a digital value in the microcontroller using the implicit Newton polynomial interpolation (NPI) equation as a low-cost alternative method. The effect of temperature is included in the conversion to obtain precise measurement results. Firstly, the structure and characteristics of the PV cell are discussed. Secondly, the parameters, measuring method, and conversion of the measurement reading data using the NPI equation are presented to assess the results. Finally, the simulation of the solar radiation meter using the PSIM and implementation of the hardware are conducted to validate the concepts and compare their results. The proposed hardware has an average error of 2.72% in the implementation of the measurement test.
