<![CDATA[This article addresses the design and manufacturing of two-speed asynchronous motors with pole-changing windings. The need for developing two-speed motors with a single pole-changing winding is justified from the standpoint of energy and resource efficiency, as well as improved starting performance of high-power electric drives. An analysis of existing pole-changing winding designs is presented, highlighting their practical limitations in industrial applications. A new pole-changing winding with a 4/2 pole ratio and 48 stator slots was developed using the discrete spatial functions method based on star–delta–double star configurations. The electromagnetic characteristics of the proposed winding were analyzed. Based on this design, a new 4A200L8/4U3 two-speed motor was manufactured and tested under production conditions at the energy motors plant. Experimental results show that at p1 = 4 pole pairs the motor delivers P2 = 20 kW with efficiency η = 87%, cos φ = 0.82, I1 = 43 A at slip s = 2.35%, while at p2 = 2 pole pairs it develops P2 = 36 kW with efficiency η = 91.5%, cos φ = 0.906, I1 = 66 A at slip s = 1.5%. The results confirm more efficient utilization of the active magnetic core at lower polarity and demonstrate the feasibility of implementing such motors for energy-saving applications in heavy-duty drives requiring two equivalent operating speeds.]]>

<![CDATA[SRMs are recognized for their high efficiency, strong torque output, and capability to operate at high speeds, making them well-suited for electric vehicle (EV) applications. Their high initial torque effectively overcomes the vehicle's inertia during the drive mode, enhancing overall performance. Switched reluctance machines (SRMs) come in various structural configurations such as 8/6, 6/4, and 4/2, offering flexible options for different vehicle requirements. Speed control in SRMs is typically managed through current regulation, which is handled by a current controller. Traditionally, a proportional integral (PI) controller is used to generate the required reference current. However, the PI regulator is prone to high damping and sensitivity to disturbances, leading to increased speed overshoot during startup and longer settling times. To address these limitations, a switched variable proportional desaturation PI (SVPDPI) controller is employed. Nevertheless, due to its relatively slow response, the PI component in the SVPDPI is replaced with a fuzzy logic module to enhance controller performance. This results in a switched variable proportional desaturation fuzzy logic (SVPDFL) regulator, which significantly reduces initial speed overshoot and improves settling time toward the desired reference speed. This paper presents a comparative analysis of these controllers, with simulations conducted using MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate performance improvements.]]>

<![CDATA[A study on the performance of the Penning-type internal ion source of the DECY-13 cyclotron has been conducted to evaluate the relationship between cathode current and extracted ion beam current, as well as the stability of the extracted beam. The DECY-13 cyclotron, developed at the Research Center of Accelerator Technology, BRIN, is designed to produce 13 MeV protons for radioisotope production. In the experiment, the cathode current was varied between 200-400 mA, while the magnetic field and extraction voltage at 1.25 T and 3 kV, respectively. The results indicate a clear power-law dependence between cathode current (Ic) and extracted beam current (Iext), expressed as Iext=343.8 Ic^1.42 . This relationship suggests that ionization efficiency increases sharply with cathode current. Stability tests at 400 mA cathode current showed that the extracted beam current remained stable at ~70 μA over 45 minutes, with only minor fluctuations. These findings demonstrate that cathode current is an effective parameter for controlling extracted beam current. The results contribute to a better understanding of ion source behavior in cyclotron systems and provide a foundation for further optimization of Penning ion sources for radioisotope production.]]>

<![CDATA[A three-phase induction motor is extensively employed in the industrial sector due to its robustness and cost-effectiveness. An enhancement of this motor is underway to optimize its performance. Enhancing motor performance is intricately linked to escalating motor production expenses. Consequently, an innovative strategy is essential to enhance motor performance without incurring substantial extra expenses. This study aimed to introduce a novel approach for designing 3-phase induction motor coils to enhance motor performance without significant additional expenses. This study concentrated on the design of a 3-phase induction motor coil, rated at 1 HP, 380 V, 2 A, 4 poles, and 24 slots, and arranged in a Y-connection. We fabricated the coil using a dual-layer approach, creating magnetic pole pairs on each layer. The study's results demonstrated an improvement in output power, efficiency, load torque, and rotor speed of the new motor design, specifically by 19.32%, 16.26%, 18.48%, and 0.72%, respectively. Despite a 3.05% rise in motor coil current during peak load conditions, the motor's overall performance significantly improves, enhancing its capabilities without considerable additional expenses. This study claims that the suggested way can make other 3-phase induction motors work better without costing a lot more.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper discusses a novel fuzzy adaptive sliding mode control (FASMC) strategy for a four-wheel-drive (4WD) electric vehicle (EV), incorporating an exponential reaching law (ERL) and a fuzzy adaptive switching gain to enhance speed tracking. The classical SMC technique often suffers from the chattering problem, which can degrade the dynamic control performance of the electric vehicle. To address these challenges, the proposed hybrid controller employs an exponential reaching law to ensure fast convergence and reduced chattering, while a fuzzy logic-adaptation mechanism dynamically adjusts the switching gain to improve robustness against uncertainties and external disturbances. First, the mathematical model of the motor derived for achieving speed regulation using the classical SMC with an exponential reaching law based on indirect-field-oriented control (FOC). Then, the proposed control technique is designed to automatically adjust the ERL gain using a fuzzy logic controller to ensure precise vehicle speed control, optimizing the vehicle's dynamics under varying road conditions. This novel configuration enables the development of a 4WD EV control framework with an optimized controller, serving as the foundation for implementing our proposed study. The results validate the proposed method's superiority, delivering lower chattering, enhanced tracking precision, and greater robustness compared to traditional SMC while adhering to control standards. This control framework presents a viable advancement for 4WD EV motion management, supporting safer, more effective autonomous vehicle technologies.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper proposes a wind and solar energy-based hybrid generation system integrated with a photovoltaic (PV) array controlled using model predictive control (MPC) and a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine controlled using field-oriented control (FOC). The system employs cascaded-based and bridge-based structures for two renewable sources, and they are connected to an ordinary common load, and designed to meet the stringent conditions of low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) required during fault conditions and grid-side perturbations. In order to safeguard the power electronic converter from sharp voltage dips, a crowbar protection circuit is used on the rotor side of the DFIG. In order to verify the enhanced LVRT capability of the offered system, extensive modeling, control design, implementation steps, and numerous simulation results have been included. The use of sophisticated control methodologies and protective measures improves the reliability and stability of wind-solar power plants. Simulation results reveal that for a serious grid disturbance, the system manages to maintain the output voltage at 70% of its nominal value and keeps the waveform steady and sinusoidal. In addition, the control scheme ensures that the rotor current is not just sinusoidal but also well-balanced, yielding a steady-state electromagnetic torque. This combination of control and protective measures is paramount for achieving stability, power quality, and reliability in current hybrid renewable power systems.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a significant enhancement in the filtering performance of shunt active power filters (SAPF) by leveraging the voltage oriented control(VOC) in combination with a three-level NPC inverter using space vector modulation (SVM). The VOC technique enables precise control of the SAPF by utilizing the orientation of the voltages, thereby optimizing harmonic compensation and reference tracking. Incorporating a three-level inverter allows for more refined voltage modulation, resulting in a substantial reduction in injected harmonic content. Simulation results from MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. Before compensation, the measured total harmonic distortion (THD) reaches 27.98%, exceeding the IEEE 519-1992 standard threshold of 5%. However, after applying the SAPF, the THD drops to 0.85%, aligning with international standards for power quality. The figures included in the study illustrate the stability of the phase-locked loop(PLL)voltages and the noticeable improvement in the source current waveforms, which exhibit a near-sinusoidal profile after filtering. These findings validate the superiority of the VOC strategy coupled with an NPC inverter and SVM in effectively mitigating harmonic distortions and enhancing power quality in modern electrical networks.]]>

<![CDATA[With the involvement of renewable energy sources, plug-in hybrid automobiles, and fault occurrence, power quality has degraded nowadays. The most effective device utilized in distribution systems to enhance power quality is the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). For deep sags, DVR with storage topology is more beneficial, although it has challenges with converter and storage element rating. To address this, various converters and energy storage elements like ultracapacitors are reviewed. In this paper, a DVR with an ultra-capacitor (UCAP) using an impedance bidirectional converter is simulated, and power quality indices are compared with VSI-BDC. The simulation result reflects the enhanced capability of the suggested DVR in a wide range of operations, improved power quality indices, and its effectiveness in swell conditions. The control of DC link voltage with PI and model predictive control (MPC) were simulated and compared.]]>

<![CDATA[The ground-surface reflection (albedo) significantly influences the amount of solar radiation absorbed by photovoltaic panels and, thus, the optimum tilt angle for maximizing annual energy generation. Nevertheless, the majority of design models presume a constant albedo value, therefore could not accurately represent actual field conditions. This study aims to identify the optimal tilt angle for each albedo value that maximizes the annual energy output of a stationary on-grid photovoltaic system of 20.48 kWp installed in Baghdad, Iraq. Seven albedo values, varying from 0.09 to 0.87, were simulated using PVsyst software, with the reference case established at an albedo of 0.2 and a tilt angle of 31°. The results indicate that the optimum tilt angle is directly proportional to the surface reflection. For albedo levels below the reference of 0.2 (0.18 and 0.09), increased energy generation occurred at reduced tilt angles of 30.5° and 29°, respectively. Conversely, for increased albedo values (i.e., exceeding the reference of 0.2, spanning from 0.25 to 0.87), greater tilt angles were necessitated, reaching 45° at an albedo of 0.87, where the annual energy rose from 35.212 to 36.999 MWh/yr, signifying a 5.07% increase relative to the reference condition. The results validate that the optimal tilt angle fluctuates with ground-surface albedo, as surface reflectivity affects solar irradiation and energy output. Integrating actual albedo values in photovoltaic models is crucial for precise tilt adjustment and enhanced system efficiency.]]>

<![CDATA[To address the need for a reproducible design process for an efficient wireless electric vehicle (EV) charging system that guarantees compliance with the SAE J2954 standard, this paper proposes a systematic, flowchart-based optimization technique. Unlike methods that focus solely on coil performance, the proposed approach integrates standard-specific constraints, such as inductance and geometric limits, from the outset to ensure the final design meets stringent performance benchmarks for efficiency and misalignment tolerance. A circular flat spiral coil structure has been adopted for both the transmitter and receiver coils to enhance manufacturability and achieve uniform magnetic field distribution. A flowchart-based design technique has been developed to optimize key coil parameters, including the number of turns and coil diameters, subject to constraints of 200 µH inductance and a maximum outer diameter of 700 mm. Finite element analysis (FEA) simulations verify that the proposed design approach achieves maximum magnetic coupling under various air gap distances and misalignment conditions. An experimental validation of a 2-kW prototype demonstrates close agreement with simulations, achieving coil-to-coil efficiencies between 92.61% and 96.67%, and overall system efficiency exceeds 80% under all tested conditions. These results confirm that the proposed design method effectively meets performance requirements set by the SAE J2954 standard.]]>
