This paper presents a new scheme for variable structure (VS) fuzzy PD controller. The rule base of the fuzzy PD controller is tuned online. The purpose of the proposed controller is to track accurately a preselected position command for the servomechanism system. Therefore, this study establishes a model using a black-box modeling approach; simulations were performed based on real-time data collected by LabVIEW and processed using MATLAB. The input signal for the servomechanism driver is a pseudo-random binary sequence that considers violent excitation in the frequency interval. The candidate models were obtained using linear least squares, nonlinear least squares, and deep neural network (DNN). The validation results proved that the identified model based on DNN has the smallest mean square errors. Then, the DNN identified model was used to design the proposed control techniques. A comparison had been executed between the VS fuzzy PD control, the conventional PD control, and the fixed structure fuzzy PD control. The experimental results confirm the proposed VS fuzzy PD control can absorb the nonlinear behavior of the system. The speed regulation test, it reduces the rise time from 50% to 56%. While continuously changing in speed, it has the smallest tracking error (0.412 inches).

In this work, the indicators of electrical power network stability and voltage stability (VS) are discussed and developed with the aim of using a power transfer stability index (PTSI) indicator as a predictor for voltage stability (VS) in electrical power networks. The power transfer stability index (PTSI) was thus used to detect abnormally weak voltages in buses within such power system networks (weak). The target data are obtained using the Newton Raphson method (NR) and include magnitude, phase angle, and active and reactive power. A new adaptive particle swarm optimization-neural network algorithm based on a guiding strategy (GSAPSO-NN) was also used to achieve the goal of the paper by improving the mixed particle updates and the weightings of the neural network to decrease the search time. All results were then compared with actual values as calculated using the PTSI NR method. The final results show only simple differences or approximately the same values using both the proposed and the classical methods. The MATLAB-PSAT package was employed to obtain most of these results and the testing of the new method was done on the IEEE14 bus system as well as the Iraqi 24-bus power system. The effectiveness validation of the new hybrid method for assessing voltage stability was thus achieved.

Wideband gap (WBG) semiconductors have developed rapidly in recent years, enabling greater efficiency and power density in the design of power electronics converters for several areas of application. In this sense, this work analyzes the efficiency and specificities of silicon carbide (SiC) technologies and their cascode topology (SiC-Cascode), operating at high switching frequencies. The analyzes are performed using a Boost converter designed for conversion systems in the more-electric aircraft (MEA) context, where the alternating current (AC) power systems can operate at fixed frequency (115V/400Hz), or at variable frequency (115V/360-800Hz), such as observe in Boeing 787, and the direct current (DC) power system can operate with a DC bus of 400 V and +/-270 V are normally used. To validate the project, computer simulations were performed and a 1.0kW prototype was built in the laboratory. The performance analyses demonstrates that 97.5% of efficiency is achieved at 500 kHz switching frequency.

Zero-sequence circulating currents are particularly problematic because they can occasionally lead to protective relay failure. However, it is not usually understood that systems with numerous cables strung along the same path will produce zero-sequence currents. In this paper, the operation of parallel connections of single core underground cables is examined. The examination is based on power cables arrangement operating in parallel two-circuit with and without the transmission grid. It was found that symmetrical cable arrangement might significantly lower zero-sequence currents in a twin-circuit. On the other hand, the largest value of the zero sequence currents at asymmetrical configuration. To provide an effective method about reduction of zero sequence current induced in a cable system, several connection scenarios such as the transposition of the cable and sheath and the application of sheath cross bonding are examined. Therefore, in this paper, this phenomenon will be analyzed and discussed. ATPDraw is used to simulate and analysis this kind of study. Also, the effect of sheath transposition is explained and analyzed.

The present work investigates the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device's role to improve the voltage stability for a distribution network of various types of loads. Our analysis was based on using a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) device over a test distribution system. Firstly, a detailed description of the mathematical model used in our system is presented. Then we studied the effect of inductive and capacitive loads with and without STATCOM. To investigate the efficacy and robustness of using STATCOM in a distribution network, a test system is developed using MATLAB/Simulink, where we analyzed the voltage profile in different cases. The results of the simulation demonstrate that the STATCOM plays a critical role in optimizing the voltage profiles of distribution systems, either capacitive or inductive.

Photovoltaic (PV) modules have been becoming well-spread recently as alternative clean energy sources to traditional energy sources due to their efficiency and sustainability benefits. This paper applied various water temperatures and artificial dust levels to a couple of monocrystalline PV modules under outdoor conditions to observe their performance. Two different IV tracers were connected separately to each module for comparison purposes. Two temperature sensors were installed at the back of the panels to observe the cell temperatures. Besides, a temperature sensor was specified for ambient readings. Water flowed through an adjustable water-flow sensor to cool the overheated PV module using specific mass flow rates. The results indicate that the efficiency of the PV module starts to reduce when the panel temperature begins to surpass 49.1°C. It was discovered that cooling the PV module increases its efficiency from 0.97 percent at the lowest rate to 4.70 percent at the highest rate. Furthermore, accumulated dust on the PV module top surface can be reduced up to 3-fold under 110 g/m2 of dust, and up to 29.30% under 10 g/m2 of 100% of its generated energy. Improvement techniques and future work on PV module performance are also discussed.

This paper analyzes the potential of solar energy and the efficiency of a solar system for real measurements. During the analysis, one-year radiation measurements for the city of Pristina were used. Analyzes show a high potential for exploitation. What affects the increase of efficiency of such systems is the possibility of use throughout the year. For each respective month is shown the potential of thermal energy that can be achieved and efficiency. The paper highlights the role of solar energy in maximizing the penetration of renewable sources. The analysis shows that in August the coverage of the needs for hot sanitary water from the proposed solar system is 99% and minimally in January by 16%. Taking into account the seasonal changes that apply to the country, I consider that a possible combination of central heating systems with those of sanitary water - solar system would be an adequate solution.

Permanent-magnet excitation machines (SPMMs) having mounted magnet on the outer surface of their rotor are preferred for high speed applications such as turbochargers, mechanical turbo-compounding systems, racing engines and fuel pumps, over other types of machines including induction and switched-reluctance machines, since the SPMMs integrate the features of high torque density, compact rotor structure, high reliability and simple structure. However, in the SPMMs, due to the need for a retaining sleeve for the rotor, a large magnetic airgap results and consequently a large magnet thickness is required, hence the magnetic end-effect is relatively high. On the other hand, the use of an overlapping distributed winding leads to a significantly large end-winding length. Hence, the end-effect and the end-winding influences on the performances of a high-speed SPMM is considered in this paper. With a view to get the impact of the end-effect, a comparison between three-dimensional (3D-FEA) results and counterparts two-dimensional finite element analyses (2D-FEA) have been conducted. Results show that, higher efficiency at low torque and low speed due to the low electromagnetic losses and at high speeds due to the high flux-weakening capability are seen when the influences of end-effect as well as end-winding are taken into account.

Microgrids need control strategies to achieve maximum performance. An appropriate control strategy should have high performance in unbalanced conditions in addition to normal conditions. Today, the use of microgrids, with a variety of power sources, including solar, wind, diesel, energy storage sources to increase the capability of distribution grid has made significant progress. However, controlling and managing their energy in the event of a fault is a challenge that researchers are faced. In this article, two microgrids connected to the grid are studied using a back-to-back (BTB)-voltage source converters (VSC) converter. The results of this research showed that by the usage of above-mentioned convertor first, with power management between microgrids the frequency remains constant in island mode second, they are isolated from each other in terms of faults. The results showed that the use of the proposed method controlled the frequency of two microgrids simultaneously.

Delivering electrical energy to remote areas is one of the essential things in our modern world. Choosing the optimal route is one of the most critical factors contributing to reducing the power transmission system's cost. Other influencing factors such as the optimum alloy of the conductor wires are difficult to change, so only the aforementioned factor was adopted. In this paper, the optimized potential field algorithm is employed to determine the sub-optimum path that the transmission line should be installed. The best line for the towers is not necessarily the shortest or the cheapest one. Sometimes the best locations for the towers of the transmission lines coming according to the safety regards. It can be said that the best trajectory is a combination of several factors, including the length of the track in addition to other influencing factors depending on the work environment.
