Abstract

This research presents a method that integrates artificial neural networks (ANN) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to identify and classify faults in large power networks, as well as to pinpoint the zones where these faults occur. The objective is to enhance reliability and safety by accurately detecting and categorizing electrical faults. To manage the computational demands of processing the extensive and complex data from the power system, the network is divided into optimal zones, each made visible for fault detection. Niche Binary particle swarm optimization (NBPSO) is employed to place the fault detectors (FD) in each zone. This allows for precise measurement of fault voltage and current phasors without significant cost. The ANN module is tasked with identifying the fault area and locating the exact fault within that zone, as well as classifying the specific type of fault. Discrete Wavelet Transform is used for feature extraction, and a phase locked loop (PLL) is used for load angle computation. The proposed method's validity has been tested on the IEEE-33 bus distribution network.

Abstract

In recent years, significant improvements have been made in the load frequency control (LFC) of interconnected microgrid (MG) systems, driven by the growing demand for enhanced power supply quality. However, challenges such as low inertia, parameter uncertainties, and dynamic complexity persist, posing significant hurdles for controller design in MGs. Addressing these challenges is crucial as any mismatch between demand load and power generation inevitably leads to frequency deviation and tie-line power interchange within the MG. This work introduces sophisticated optimization techniques (grey wolf optimization (GWO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and balloon effect (BE)) for LFC, focusing on the optimal online tuning of integral controller gain (Ki) for controlled loads. The WOA regulates the frequency of the system so variable loads can be accommodated and 6 MW of PV is added to the MG. A PV and a diesel generator-powered isolated single area MGs with electrical random loads are managed by the adaptive controller by regulating the frequency and power of the PV. Online tuning of integral controllers is possible using the WOA. A comparison is carried out between the WOA+BE and three other optimizers, namely the GWO, GWO+BE method, and the WOA. This paper shows the effect of add BE identifier to standard WOA and GWO. MATLAB simulation results prove that the BE identifier offers a significant advantage to the investigated optimizers in the issue of adaptive frequency stability even when disturbances and uncertainties are concurrent.

Abstract

The widespread use of electric vehicles (EVs) in several industries gives rise to many significant safety and reliability-related issues. Thus, there is a need for methods for identifying flaws in EV components. In this paper, a state assessment of a dual star induction machine (DSIM) under short-circuit faults is investigated. The DSIM is selected due to its widespread use in high-power applications and its numerous advantages over other conventional machine types. Our focus is particularly on its application in the automotive industry, where its dual stator windings ensure reliable and robust parallel operation, thereby enhancing its robustness and efficiency. To improve this technology and ensure its proper functioning following potential failures and during maintenance, appropriate diagnostic and monitoring methods are essential. Our methodology combines two techniques: the current space vector (CSV), utilized to prevent information loss, and the wavelet packet decomposition energy, calculated from the resulting CSV signals. This approach enables the detection of various stator short-circuit faults, presenting different severities and occurring at different locations. The outcomes of this study, which were verified through the use of a Simulink model of a DSIM devoted to an EV, showcase the efficacy of the suggested approach. Furthermore, this work underscores the significance of this approach in maintaining the performance and reliability of DSIM, particularly in demanding environments such as the automotive industry.

Abstract

In this paper, a nonlinear adaptive position controller for a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor based on a newly developed adaptive backstepping control approach is discussed and analyzed. The backstepping approach is a systematic method; it is used for non-linear systems such as the linear synchronous motor. This controller combines the notion of the Lyapunov function, which is based on the definition of a positive energy function; to ensure stability in the sense of Lyapunov, it is necessary to ensure the negativity of this function by a judicious choice of a control variable called virtual control. But this method is mainly based on the mathematical model of the permanent magnet linear synchronous machine (PMLSM) which makes this control sensitive to the variation of the parameters of the machine, to overcome this problem an adaptive control was proposed, the adaptive backstepping control approach is utilized to obtain the robustness for mismatched parameter uncertainties and disturbance load force. The overall stability of the system controller and adaptive low is shown using the Lyapunov theorem. The validity of the proposed controller is supported by computer simulation results.

Abstract

The negative impacts of microgrids (µGs) on the load frequency highlight the importance of implementing a robust, efficient, and adaptable controller to ensure stability. This work introduces an adaptive load frequency control (LFC) for an isolated µG that includes a PV system and electric vehicles (EVs), which have a significant impact on frequency. This control utilizes a combination of sine cosine optimization (SCO) and balloon effect identifier (BEI) algorithms. The controller presented in this work transforms the LFC process into an optimization problem that is highly compatible with various random situations encountered in the control process. The suggested control method is a novel approach by utilizing SCO+BEI for adaptive LFC application, resulting in a highly efficient response. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive controller is assessed under the conditions of 17 MW variable load, system parameters uncertainties, and installed PV systems of 6 MW.  MATLAB / Simulink package is rummage-sale as a digital test environment. According to simulation results, the proposed adaptive controller succeeds in regulating the frequency and power of an islanded µG. To measure the efficiency of the proposed control scheme, a comparison between other control techniques (such as adaptive controller using Jaya+BEI and classical integral controller) is done. The findings of the studied scenarios assured that the not compulsory control method using (SCO+BEI) has an obvious superiority over other control methods in terms of frequency solidity in case of random load instabilities and parameter uncertainties. Finally, it can be said that the proposed controller can better ensure the safe operation of the µGs.

Abstract

This article presents a wavelet analysis-singular value decomposition (WA-SVD) based method for precise fault localization in recent power distribution networks using k-NN Classifier. The WA-SVD leverages the slime mould algorithm (SMA) and graph theory (GT) in enhancing the overall accuracy of fault localization. To validate the proposed methodology, extensive tests are conducted on various benchmark systems, including the IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system, the IEEE 33-bus meshed loop unbalanced distribution system, the IEEE 33-bus system with integrated renewable energy sources, and the IEEE 13-bus feeder test system. The results demonstrate a high fault classification accuracy of 99.08%, with an average localization error of just 1.2% of the total line length. The k-NN classifier exhibited a precision of 98.2% and a recall of 99.2%, underscoring the reliability and sensitivity of the proposed method. Additionally, the computational efficiency of the algorithm is evidenced by an average processing time of 0.0764 seconds per fault event, making it well-suited for real-time applications.

Abstract

Interest in wind turbine emulators (WTE) has increased due to the growing need for wind power generation as a low-maintenance, more effective substitute for conventional models. This paper presents the design of a small WTE utilizing a dSPACE 1104 system. The setup includes a DC motor, driven by a buck converter, coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous generator, all managed through a hardware-in-the-loop configuration using the dSPACE 1104 board. The DC motor simulates the rotational motion generated by wind energy, accurately replicating the characteristics of an actual WT. This control system enables the simulation of various wind speeds and torque values in MATLAB/Simulink software, providing a valuable tool for analyzing and developing power converters. The results obtained confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed emulator, as the experimental outcomes closely matched the theoretical calculations.

Abstract

One of the main issues with grid-connected distributed energy systems, including photovoltaic (PV) systems, is the DC bus voltage's instability during load fluctuations and power line short circuits. This paper attempts to address this problem and proposes to use superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) to stabilize the voltage of the DC link and improve the power quality and transient stability of the power system. The investigated configuration components are PV cells, boost converter, chopper, SMES, three level inverter (NPC), filter, grid, and load. MATLAB / Sim Power System is used to test the performance of a SMES in order to ensure the balance of the DC bus voltage of a PV system connected to the grid. Several scenarios were considered to show the performance and benefits of combining a SMES with the PV system. The outcomes of the examined scenarios (fault and load change) demonstrate the precision of the employed control systems, maintaining the DC voltage at acceptable levels (?500 V), enhances the structure stability, and improving power quality (GPV THD = 4.34). Finally, it can be concluded that the proposed configuration will help in achieving high penetration scenarios of PV systems.

Abstract

Because wind systems are so prevalent in the electrical grid, an innovative control method can significantly increase the productivity of permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG). A wind power generation system's maximal power point (MPP) tracking control approach is presented in this paper. The nonlinear backstepping controller, which is robust to parameter uncertainty, is used in this work to enhance the tip speed ratio approach.  To lower the system's equipment and maintenance costs, we suggested utilizing a speed estimator. As a novel addition to the backstepping controller development, the suggested estimator is a component of the backstepping controller development. The control and system organization approaches are presented. Lyapunov analysis is used to guarantee the stability of the controller. To assess the suggested approach, step change and varying wind speed turbulence intensities are employed. The results expose the great efficiency of the proposed method in both tracking MPP and calculating generator speed.  The proposed control strategy and structure are validated by MATLAB simulations.

Abstract

Industrial applications rely heavily on induction motors (IMs). Even though any IM problem can seriously impair operation, rotor bar failures (RBFs) are among the toughest to identify because of their detection challenges. RBFs in IMs can significantly impact performance, leading to reduced efficiency, increased vibrations, and potential IM failure. This research provides a thorough analysis of diagnosing these issues by detecting RBFs and evaluating their severity using three sophisticated signal processing techniques (Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)). The three techniques (FFT, DWT, and STFT) are used in this work to assess the stator currents. An accurate mathematical model of the IM under RBFs serves as the basis for the simulation. The robustness of Direct Torque Control (DTC) is assessed by examining the IM's behavior in both normal and malfunctioning situations. Although the results show that DTC successfully preserves motor stability even when there are flaws, the current analysis offers some significant variation. The findings show that when it comes to identifying RBFs in IMs and determining their severity, the STFT performs better than FFT and DWT. The suggested method maintains low estimation errors and strong performance under various operating situations while providing high failure detection accuracy and the ability to discriminate between RBFs.
