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.

Six-phase machine research has attracted a lot of attention lately, as seen by the large number of articles and case studies that have been written about it. Six-phase induction machines are prevalent due to their simplicity in construction. A fault-tolerance system is essential to guaranteeing machine operation that is both available and continuous in the event of a disruption or failure in the system. The operational topologies of dual three-phase (D3-IM) and symmetrical six-phase (S6-IM) induction machines were studied in this research. One open-phase fault (1OPF) is covered in the study, and different scenarios including the derating factor, neutral configuration, and maximum torque (MT) operational strategy are taken into account. Using MATLAB software, machine characteristics, machine equations, and Clarke's transformation show the fault-tolerant capability of each type of machine. Moreover, a MATLAB program is developed to assess post-fault voltage control limits, allowing for a comparison between current and voltage control limits. Simulated graph results depicting line-to-line voltages against synchronous and slip frequencies across all possible fault scenarios reveal distinct fault-tolerant capabilities between the two machine types. The comparative study shows that S6-IM offers better fault-tolerant capability than D3-IM based on both various synchronous and slip frequency approaches.

This paper proposes a comparison study focusing on the dynamic response and tracking accuracy for the induction motor drive system influenced by the controller design methods. Pole-zero cancellation (PZC) and pole placement (PP) methods are commonly used to define the controller gains for motor drive systems, and both methods are verified in this paper. The bandwidth of controllers for both methods is set equally based on the field-oriented control strategy, which consists of current and speed control loops. Furthermore, the test conditions are defined to examine the drive system performance, i.e., i) load torque rapidly changes with the maintained speed and ii) speed changes in no-load and with-load torque conditions to validate the current and speed control loops, respectively. The validation of the drive system performance influenced by the controller design methods is demonstrated by simulation results.

The technical-economic viability of hybrid renewable energy systems that include personal electric vehicles (EVs) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area is assessed in this study. We examined several microgrid configurations using HOMER Grid software, focusing on the effects of electricity prices and subsidy policies. The results show how the hybrid combination of photovoltaic with the grid provided the most significant configuration across the MENA region according to the sensitivity studies that indicate considerable potential for wider application. Eliminating subsidies and modifying power rates are two important tactics for promoting the use of hybrid renewable energy systems. For policymakers and investors in the MENA area, these studies provide practical insights.

At low frequencies of operation in a chopper-fed direct current (DC) motor drive, the armature current may become discontinuous thus the controller operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Since the minimum armature current is zero in DCM, the analysis of peak armature current (Imax) is to investigate the ripple content in armature current at different values of duty cycle which will help in decreasing the peaky current of DC motor during operation. The simulation was carried out using MATLAB-Simulink software and the laboratory setup was based on Atmega 328 microcontroller board. In this paper, the theoretical and experimental analysis of peak armature current were performed at fix low frequency in DCM and variable duty cycles to provide full control of DC motor speed. The results show that the peak armature current changes with the change of duty cycles and its magnitude is decreased almost 50% at higher duty cycle values.

Photovoltaic (PV)-grid with electrical vehicle penetration introduces harmonics to the main power system. This paper explores the disturbances introduced due to both PV and electric vehicles (EVs) in the grid. PV acting as the source and EV acting as both the load and the source introduces harmonics to the main grid. The combined harmonics from both the PV and EV are controlled using the integrated DQ controller on the voltage source converter (VSC) that connects to the grid from the PV source. The real and reactive power is controlled in a decoupled manner to obtain better control of the harmonic reduction introduced in the grid. This study investigates the use of proportional-integral (PI) control techniques to develop an integrated controller that can effectively handle both PV synchronization and power quality when using electric vehicles. To reduce harmonics in the grid current, the study combines multicarrier space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) with PI control on the grid-connected converter through a dual-control loop system devoted to PV grid synchronization, with one loop specifically addressing EV battery charging control. DQ method yields a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 2.74% for voltage and 3.44% for current according to the IEEE 519 standards.

This paper presents a device designed to provide continuous electrical energy to isolated areas where connection to the power grid is expensive and unprofitable. This objective is achieved through a system that combines a wind turbine and photovoltaic panels as primary energy sources, with storage batteries and a diesel generator serving as backup sources. The main contribution of this work is characterized by the ability to ensure uninterrupted electrical power supply, even on days when renewable energy sources are less favorable. This intermittency is due to the random nature of these sources, as well as their dependency on weather and climatic conditions. Therefore, we sized each component of the hybrid system to meet the maximum required load individually under the most favorable conditions. We then modeled each energy conversion chain and developed power control laws to ensure effective set point tracking. Finally, we implemented a hierarchical energy management algorithm to define the operating modes of the hybrid system's sources, aiming to produce as much power as the load requires while prioritizing the use of renewable energy sources to minimize reliance on the storage system and the diesel generator.

In this research, the structure selection of the carriers in the implementation of random pulse width modulation (RPWM) method for single-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) drives is specified by a 16-bit binary sequence. Subsequently, the genetic algorithm (GA) is used to find the solution of the optimal sequence allowing the output voltage signal to achieve the minimum total harmonic distortion (THD). In addition, the harmonic spreading factor (HSF) is further analyzed to evaluate the acoustic noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) of the operation of electromechanical system. Finally, through hardware testing process, the simulation results are validated in order to ensure the reliability of our research findings. The main components of this testing process are LAUNCHXL-F28379D utilized to generate controlling pulses for the modules insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT), and two EVAL-1EDI60I12AF gate driver modules for realizing the full-bridge inverter.

The rising demand for high-performance permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) is responsible for the development of PMSM speed control. Although the proportional-integral controller is often used in field-oriented control (FOC) for motor speed regulation, it has drawbacks like slow response and instability. This paper proposed an enhanced sliding mode controller with a modified sliding surface to achieve better speed control performance. In comparison to proportional-integral or PI controller, fuzzy logic controller, conventional sliding mode controller, the proposed control approach uses a reaching law that incorporates a fuzzy logic controller. A smoother and faster response time is targeted by the proposed approach compared to conventional sliding mode control. Practical small-scale PMSM experiments certify the effectiveness of our proposed enhanced sliding mode control.

Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) which consists of battery and supercapacitor is proposed to store bulk regenerative braking energy for future traction power substation. This system aims to optimize energy utilization and enhance the sustainability of rail transport. To facilitate bidirectional power flow between the traction network and the HESS, this paper introduces a modular multi-input converter (MMIC) to dynamically transfers during both braking and acceleration phases of train operation. The proposed MMIC operates in multiple modes, allowing for seamless energy exchange between the battery and supercapacitor, thus minimizing the depth of discharge of the battery and extending its lifespan. A comprehensive theoretical analysis of the MMIC is presented, detailing its four distinct operating modes. Additionally, simulation model of a 1.5 kV traction power substation with 500 kWh HESS is developed to validate the performance of the MMIC during steady-state operation. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in energy recovery and storage capabilities, underscoring the potential of the HESS to support future traction power substations in achieving higher efficiency and sustainability.
