Nano-satellites are key features for sharing the space data and scientific researches. They embed subsystems that are fed from solar panels and batteries. Power generated from these panels is subject to environmental conditions, most important of them are irradiance and temperature. Optimizing the usage of this power versus environmental variations is a primary task. Synchronous DC-DC buck converter is used to control the power transferred from PV panels to the subsystems while maintaining operation at maximal power. In this paper, artificial intelligence techniques: neural networks and adaptive neural fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) are used to accomplish the tracking task. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate their efficiency, robustness and tracking quality.

Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors directly convert solar radiation into electrical and thermal energy. A PVT collector combines the functions of a PV panel and a flat plate solar collector. The development of PVT air collectors is a very promising research area. At present, PVT air collectors are used in solar drying and solar air heaters. On the basis of existing literature, most PVT air collectors were built by using monofacial PV modules. The bifacial PV modules had two active surfaces that could capture solar radiation with its front and rear surfaces. Additional sunlight absorption through both surfaces resulted in an enhanced electrical power generation compared with the conventional monofacial PV. Therefore, bifacial PVT was considered to be useful and attractive due to its potential of enhancing overall system performances, including energy and exergy efficiencies. Findings of this review indicated that PVT air collector with bifacial solar cell produced a larger amount of electrical energy, which was approximately 40% higher than a monofacial PVT. The energy and exergy efficiencies of PVT air collector with monofacial solar cells range from 27% to 94% and from 4% to 18%, respectively. For bifacial PVT, the energy and exergy efficiencies of PVT air collector range from 28% to 67% and from 8.2% to 8.4%, respectively.

This paper investigated the performance of the sliding mode control technique for dc/dc converter using frequency response method. The applications of the step down type switching regulator) buck converter (are found in the devices that use batteries as power source like laptop, cell phones, electric vehicle, and recently, it has also been used in the renewable energy processing, as a maximum output power can be achieved at higher efficiency. In order to optimize the efficiency and for convenient power management, the issues like power on transients, the effect of load variation, Switching and Electromagnetic interference (EMI) losses has to be overcome for which controllers are used. In the proposed method, pulse width modulation (PWM) based on proportional-integral-derivative sliding mode voltage controller (PID SMVC) is designed for a buck converter and the response for appropriate control parameters has been obtained. The system stability has been examined and analyzed from the performance characteristics, which shows clearly that the buck converter controlled by the sliding mode controller has fast dynamic response and it’s very efficient for various applications.

A grid tied photovoltaic system using modular multilevel inverter topology is proposed in this paper. Basic unit structure of modular multilevel inverter used in this system is capable of converting DC power from PV array to AC power for feeding power to the household loads or utility grid. The proposed modular multilevel inverter structure has lesser power electronic devices compared to the existing multilevel inverter topologies. The proposed system generates a nearly sinusoidal signal and achieves better output profile with low total harmonic distortion. Simulation of the proposed system is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink software and the results are presented.

Wind energy is a promising source of electricity in the world and fastest-growing. Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) systems dominate and widely used in wind power system because of their advantages over other types of generators, such as working at different speeds and not needing continuous maintenance. In this paper used the PI controller and Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device specifically static compensator (STATCOM) to investigate the effect of the controller and FACTS device on the system. PI controller tuning by Particle Swarm Optimization technique (PSO) to limit or reduced the fault current in (DFIG) system. The responses of different kinds of faults have been presented like; two lines to ground faults and three lines to ground faults at different operating conditions. Faults are applied to three proposed controllers; the first controller is the Proportional-Integral (PI), the second controller is PI-controller based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PI-PSO) technique and STATCOM. A reactive power static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is used, the main aim for the use of STATCOM is to improve the stability of a wind turbine system in addition to this is improving voltages profile, reduce power losses, treatment of power flow in overloaded transmission lines. The simulation programming is implemented using MATLAB program.

Eddy Current Brake (ECB) is a type of electric braking that uses eddy current to produce braking forces. This article delivers a solid review of the design of Axial ECB, which is very promising for an alternative braking system. Several types of axial ECB are classified and named as a single disk, double disk, and unipolar model. The classification of axial ECB is based on the design of coil placement, which induces axial area of the disk as well as the electromagnet source. A potential issue for the development of axial ECB is also discussed to explore the braking performance improvement of the axial type ECB. It was highlighted that research on how to change the direction of magnetic field vectors by changing the shape of the pole-shoe on the electromagnetic ECB in axial type has not been widely studied. Therefore, this issue would be interesting for future investigation.

This paper introduced a “PID-NN” based on Particle Swarm Optimization control that was applied to a boost converter operating in large-signal domains. Simulation results have shown that the proposed “PID-NN controller” could enhance the (boost converter) startup response with the use of fewer on-off switch operations compared to the Conventional “PID controllers”. This result is of high importance in practice since reducing the number of on-off switches can effectively decrease the transient disturbances and losses due to switching. Simulations also prove that the proposed “PID-NN controller” is capable of efficiently improving rejecting potential disturbances that could happen in the input voltage. Moreover, it has been noticed that the output voltage is more efficiently controlled when applying “PID-NN controller”. The results of the simulation show the efficiency of the suggested algorithm compared with other well-known learning methods.

This study explores the impact of dead-time on the transistor resonant inverter operating modes depending on the ratio of the transistor switching frequency and the resonant frequency of the series-resonance circuit in the diagonal of the transistor bridge. On the basis of theoretical data and experimental results, a dead-time limitation relation has been offered - besides for a minimum value but for a maximum value. This provides extension of the operating mode range in zero voltage switching (ZVS).

This work shows the design and tuning procedure of a discrete PID controller for regulating buck boost converter circuits. The buck boost converter model is implemented using Simscape Matlab library without having to derive a complex mathematical model. A new tuning process of digital PID controllers based on identification data has been proposed. Simulation results are introduced to examine the potentials of the designed controller in power electronic applications and validate the capability and stability of the controller under supply and load perturbations. Despite controller linearity, the new approach has proved to be successful even with highly nonlinear systems. The proposed controller has succeeded in rejecting all the disturbances effectively and maintaining a constant output voltage from the regulator.

Field oriented control (FOC) is widely used for high performance induction motor (IM) electrical drive systems. Typically, FOC uses linear controls and space vector modulation (SVM) to control the fundamental components of the stator voltages. This work shows that based on a fast and precise inner current loop response one may flexibly employ different advanced control methods, to achieve high performance outer loops (speed and flux control). In this paper, novel approaches based on dead-beat scheme for the current loop combining with exact linearization, backstepping controls, and fatness-based methods for the outer loop are proposed. By comparing with classical PI control, the proposed method shows the outstanding features of system response such as fast, accurate and decoupling properties. The performance evaluation is given by experimental results.
