Abstract

This study addresses the critical challenges of voltage stabilization in DC microgrids, where the inherent variability of renewable energy sources significantly complicates reliable operation. The focus is on optimizing the fractional-order proportional-integral (FO-PI) controller using four advanced techniques a whale optimization algorithm (WOA), grey wolf optimizer (GWO), genetic algorithm (GA), and sine cosine algorithm (SCA). Voltage instability poses substantial risks to the reliability and efficiency of DC microgrids, making the optimization of the FO-PI controller an essential task. Through comparative analysis, the study demonstrates that WOA outperforms the other methods, achieving superior voltage stability, resilience, and overall system performance. Notably, WOA achieves the lowest average cost function at 0.0004, compared to 0.892 for GWO, 0.659 for GA, and 0.096 for SCA, showcasing its effectiveness in fine-tuning the controller’s parameters. These findings highlight WOA robustness as a powerful tool for enhancing microgrid performance, especially in voltage regulation. The study underscores WOA potential in ensuring the reliable and efficient integration of renewable energy systems into DC microgrids and lays the groundwork for further research into its application in more complex and dynamic grid scenarios. By optimizing the FO-PI controller, WOA significantly contributes to the long-term stability and efficiency of DC microgrids.

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.
