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

The optimal output and efficacy of a doubly fed induction wind generator (DFIG) are dependent on a multitude of uncontrollable components, necessitating the use of an adequate control system. The crowbar system is essential to the system during abnormal events; thus, it requires appropriate control algorithms and enough control settings. This work suggests the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) to construct the crowbar controller. A synopsis of wind energy and a conversation about the pertinent DFIG component and its methodology. The outcomes acquired with the suggested optimized crowbar system are contrasted with those obtained with a traditional crowbar and without protection. The outcomes confirmed the higher performance of the suggested strategy. The DFIG system responds marginally improved to active and reactive (P&Q) power, DC-Link voltage (DCLV), and machine rotation when a GSA-based PI controller is used. Finally, it can be said that by maintaining the DCLV below the allowable value, which permits the high penetration possibilities of wind energy, the suggested technique assures fault ride-through capacity (FRTC).

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a photovoltaic (PV) cell under constant irradiance using numerical simulation and stability analysis. PV systems are inherently nonlinear and time-varying, making accurate dynamic modeling essential for control and performance optimization. Understanding how the system responds over time is critical for designing stable and efficient PV-based energy systems. A single-diode equivalent circuit model is used to represent the PV cell. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method is chosen for time-domain simulation due to its balance between computational efficiency and accuracy. A quadratic Lyapunov function is formulated to assess system stability by observing the sign of its time derivative. Simulation results show that the voltage reaches steady state smoothly with minor overshoot, and the current converges rapidly. The Lyapunov function decreases consistently, confirming asymptotic stability. The system demonstrates a maximum voltage error below 2% and low standard deviation, with consistent return to equilibrium despite changes in initial conditions. In conclusion, the proposed approach effectively characterizes the PV cell’s nonlinear dynamic behavior and confirms system stability under constant irradiance. The effectiveness of combining RK4 integration with Lyapunov analysis for modeling nonlinear PV dynamics ids demonstrated.

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.

Abstract

Although solar (PV) power generators have been widely deployed, one important barrier to their effective energy capture is weather variability. It is a very challenging effort for these systems to operate at MPPT. Conventional MPPT methods still had an excessively long convergence period to the MPP. Because of their superior data processing, intelligent approaches are nevertheless given a reasonable length of time to reach the maximum point, beginning with the objective of keeping the PV generator in the MPP with outstanding performance. To accomplish MPPT, a comparison between intelligent (fuzzy control (FLC)) and conventional algorithms (perturb-and-observe (P&O) and the incremental conductance (INC)) is investigated. To do this, a mathematical model of PV cells based on two diodes with shunt and series resistors is created with MATLAB/Simulink. The model characteristics curves with the parameters listed in the MSR SOLAR datasheet are compared. Finally, we compared the results of the FLC with those of the P&O and the INC. The results obtained demonstrated the superiority of the FLC-MPPT controller.

Abstract

The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is driven by the urgent need for environmentally friendly transportation. This paper addresses the challenge of optimizing EV drivetrain efficiency by proposing a novel single-inverter electronic differential system for distributed EV drivetrains. The research focuses on reducing system cost and complexity while maintaining high performance. The methodology involves a detailed simulation using MATLAB/Simulink to validate the theoretical soundness of the proposed connection method. The results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves a minimum accuracy rate of 97.5%, marking a significant improvement over traditional dual-inverter systems. This approach not only enhances drivetrain efficiency but also contributes to more compact and cost-effective vehicle designs. Additionally, the findings underscore the potential for further refinement and exploration, suggesting that continued advancements in ED systems could lead to even greater performance gains in the future. This research lays the groundwork for future innovations in EV technology, particularly in the areas of cost reduction and system efficiency.
