This research implements a PI controller based on harmony search (HS) optimization algorithm for voltage source inverter to improve the output performance under step load change conditions. The HS algorithm aims to handle the trial and error procedure used in finding the PI parameters and then apply the proposed control algorithm via the eZdsp TMS320F28355 board to link the inverter prototype with the Matlab Simulink. The mean absolute error (MAE) is used as an optimization problem to minimize the output voltage error for the developed controller (PI-HS) as compared to the PI controller based particale swarm optimization algorithm (PI-PSO). Based on the experimental results obtained, it is noted that the proposed controller (PI-HS) provides a good dynamic performance, robustness, constant voltage amplitude, and fast response in terms of overshoot, transient, and steady-state.

In this paper, we focus on the modeling and control of a wind power system based on a double-fed induction generator DFIG. We proposed a technique of active and reactive power control to improve the performance and dynamics of variable speed wind system. The objective of the modeling is to apply the direct and indirect vector control stator flux orientation to control independently, the active and reactive power generated doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). The simulation results are tested and compared in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system.

LED technology had a huge development in recent years with major benefits: long-life, high-efficiency, excellent performance, compactness. In this work, an innovative method for improving the performance of multi-chip white LED lamps (MCW-LEDs) by adding the green Ce0.67 Tb0.33 MgAl11 O19:Ce,Tb (CeTb) phosphor to their in-cup phosphor compounding is proposed, investigated and demonstrated. Firstly, CeTb was mixed to the in-cup phosphor package of MCW-LEDs. Then by varying CeTb concentration, lumen output and angular color uniformity (ACU) of MCW-LEDs was calculated and analyzed. The results showed that the lumen output and the ACU of 7000 K and 8500 K MCW-LEDs increased significantly in comparison with others related works. This method is a prospective ideal for future improving LED manufacture.

Photovoltaic (PV) technology is one of the important renewable energy resources as it is pollution free and clean. PV systems have a high cost of energy and low eciency, consequently, they not made it fully attractive as an alternative option for electricity users. It is essential that PV systems are operated to extract the maximum possible power at all times. Maximum Power Point (MPP) changes with atmospheric conditions (radiation and temperature), it is dicult to sustain MPP at all atmospheric levels. Many Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) have been developed and implemented. These methods varied according to several aspects such as a number of sensors used, complexity, accuracy, speed, ease of hardware implementation, cost and tracking eciency. The MPPT techniques presented in the literature indicate that Variable step size of Perturb & Observe (VP&O), Variable step size of Incremental Conductance (VINC) and Perturb & Observe (P&O) using Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) can achieve reliable global MPPT with low cost and complexity and be easily adapted to dierent PV systems. In this paper, we established theoretical and experimental verication of the main MPPT controllers (VP&O, VINC, and P&O using FLC MPPT algorithms) that most cited in the literature. The three MPPT controller has been tested by MATLAB/Simulink to analyze each technique under dierent atmospheric conditions. The experimental results show that the performance of VINC and P&O using FLC is better than VP&O in term of response time.

Power electronic interface has reached a new level in the area of hybrid energy integration nowadays. The existence for the concept of hybrid energy integration is truly questionable without a proper power electronic interface. In this paper, a modified dual input DC-DC converter which is capable of incorporating two distinct V-I characteristic sources such as solar-PV, battery, fuel cell, etc., is proposed. The converter has the ability to operate in both unidirectional and bidirectional mode with buck, buck-boost and boost operation. The software simulation of the proposed converter has been conducted in MATLAB/Simulink platform in a detailed manner and an experimental prototype of the propsed converter has been built to validate the simulation results.

This paper present with design improvement of 12Slot-14Pole outer rotor field excitation flux switching motor (ORFEFSM) from the initial design by implement Deterministic Optimization Method (DOM) which involve 2-dimensional Finite-Element Analysis (FEA). The design improvement starts with the non-active part, rotor and followed with active part, stator which involve the armature coil slot and field excitation coil (FEC) slot. Since it is one of local optimization method, this method involves more than one cycle of improvement depends on the design structure and slot-pole configuration until achieve optimum performance. However, the initial torque and power output of 12Slot-14Pole is 112.95 Nm and 50.46 kW. The main objective is to improve the structure in order to obtain optimum torque and power output. Besides, it is necessary to reduce flux saturation and optimize the flux flow between the rotor teeth and stator arc width. The target torque and power output performance is expected higher than 210 Nm and 123 kW. With the deterministic optimization method technique, the final torque and power output achived are 221.83 Nm and 189kW.

This paper proposes a sensorless sliding mode control (SMC) for a five phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on a sliding mode observer (SMO). The stability of the proposed strategy is proved in the sense of the Lyapunov theory. The sliding mode controller is designed with an integral switching surface and the sliding mode observer is developed for the estimation of rotor position and rotor speed. The proposed sensorless control strategy exhibits good dynamic response to disturbances. Simulation results are provided to prove the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
