Single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor has been tipped as an alternative to single-phase induction motor due to its high efficiency and torque density. Consequently, a proper performance analysis of the motor is required to cope with the stator imbalance in order to prevent pulsation in the torque performance. This paper presented the dynamic and steady-state analysis of a single-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous motor. In this analysis, a proper combination of direct-quadrature (d-q) reference frame, and symmetrical component analyses were used. The symmetrical components analysis was used to obtain the steady state performance while the dynamic performance was obtained from d-q analysis. The symmetrical components cope with the imbalance and hence the resulting torque pulsation which may results in heating of the motor. The results obtained agreed with the theoretical analysis and yielded a unique steady state equivalent circuit and phasor diagram. The models of the motor were simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. A prototype of the motor was developed and experimentation was carried out to validate the dynamic performance.

The most significant tool for defect diagnostics in transformers is dissolved gas analysis (DGA). The time series prediction of dissolved gas levels in oil, when combined with dissolved gas analysis, provides a foundation for transformer fault diagnosis and an early warning. A long short-term memory (LSTM) based prediction model is developed in this paper to train the digital twin for identifying the essential fault in the transformer via DGA. The model is fed with three different gas concentrations as input. This study achieves the performance evaluation in terms of validation accuracy. The suggested model exhibits significant validation accuracy of 99.83%, as indicated by the analyses, thus the early prediction of transformer maintenance is aided. It can be validated that the LSTM model for fault identification and analysis using dissolved gas in the transformer has a lot of research potential.

In this paper, a modified full bridge dual inductive coupling (LCL) resonant converter for electric vehicles (EVs) battery charging applications is proposed. The main objective of the proposed topology is to operate the converter in constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) mode during battery charging. The presented topology's uniqueness comprises the following: i) isolated charging and power factor correction (PFC), ii) to achieve zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) for inverter switches, iii) reduction of number of rectifier diodes to reduce the conduction and switching losses, and iv) reducing the magnetizing current. The output voltage dependence of resonant converter is reduced using a PFC converter against the variations of the alternating current (AC) grid input voltage. The variations of the wide range output voltage and load is compensated by a small variation in switching frequency. The proposed topology's detailed operation is simulated using the MATLAB/Simulink tool.

The present publication is directed to utilize particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based PI controller for adjusting the speed of brushless DC motor fed via four switch three phase inverter. The inverter topology reduces the cost and complexity of the drive system. High performance response during transient and steady state conditions is achieved by optimizing the controller gains using POS algorithm. The obtained results confirm the validity of the proposed drive configuration in providing the features of fast dynamic response (the settling time is about 0.025 s), with minimized percentage overshot, and approximately zero steady state error. Moreover, the drive system shows robustness feature when subjected to external load torque disturbances.

In many continuous manufacturing processes such as paper, textile, winding and plastic extrusion, electric drives are frequently required to work in synchronization, often with high tolerances to ensure uniform product quality and avoid failure of the product. In a multi-motor system (MMS), voltage dips are the most common cause of the motor stoppage, and the transient loss of synchronism between motors can result in a complete system shutdown. This paper proposes a multi-motor system controlled by a Backstepping strategy to ensure servo-control and synchronization of induction motors. This technique includes indirect rotor field-oriented control (IRFOC), linear speed control, and mechanical tension control, of induction motors. Investigations of symmetrical voltage sag effects on speed, torque, and mechanical tension are also carried out. Simulation results obtained using Matlab®/SimulinkTM/SimPowerSystems® are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed control strategy.

To comply with electromagnetic interference (EMI) standards, the electromagnetic noise generated by power electronic converters must be analyzed and suppressed since the switching frequency of the converter affects EMI noise. Conducted emission occurs in drive systems due to inverter parasitic capacitances and rapidly switching inverter output voltages. The EMI noise produced space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverter is calculated using MATLAB/Simulink simulation data. The unwanted common mode and differential mode signals produced by the inverter are captured using a spectrum analyzer and examined using short time Fourier transform (STFT). To mitigate the effect of EMI in the circuit and to comply with the standards filters are developed. The passive filter components are defined by the EMI standards attenuation requirements. The MATLAB simulation findings are confirmed and verified by hardware implementation.

The article presents a seven-level reduced switch asymmetrical multilevel inverter with two different methods of pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. Phase disposition (PD) PWM and hybrid variable-frequency phase disposition PWM (HVFPD-PWM) are the two different PWM methods for making the quality of output voltage waveform. In the first method, the unipolar sine reference with triangular carriers is used. In the second method, the hybrid unipolar reference (sinusoidal with trapezoidal) is proposed with variable frequency carriers to generate the switching pulses for asymmetric multilevel inverter (MLI). The main objective of this proposed method is to reduce the total harmonic distortion in the output voltage waveforms. A comprehensive comparison of the proposed HVFPD-PWM and the conventional PD-PWM with asymmetrical seven-level inverter is presented to show the enriched performances of the proposed method. The performance and viability of the suggested PWM are evaluated through simulation and experimental results using an asymmetrical seven-level inverter. The total harmonic distortion for the proposed PWM method (16.95%) is significantly reduced as compared with the conventional PWM method (18.01%) at the modulation index of one.

In this paper, a tracking robust sliding mode learning control (SMLC) is proposed for a linear motor (LM) system. The proposed controller approach, SMLC, can guarantee a zero tracking error in the absence and presence of system uncertainties of the LM system. Unlike other classical sliding mode control (CSMC), the proposed control system is designed without any prior knowledge of the system perturbation which would facilitate control design and simplify its practical applications. To this end, a recursive learning technique is used which simultaneously adapted based on the previous information of the closed loop system stability. The system stability and convergence analysis are rigorously proved in the sense of the Lybenouve criteria. Finally, simulations results are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the SMLC over the CSMC in terms of tracking performance and chattering alleviation.

This paper aims to further improve the performance of the control system on the steer by wire (SbW) of vehicle steering system, by presenting the development of optimal control system strategy for lateral motion and yaw motion which is arranged in a cascade so that the vehicle can always be maintained on the desired trajectory. The control system strategy to be developed is fuzzy logic control (FLC) as a lateral motion control and proportional integral derivative (PID) control as a yaw motion control, and to obtain an optimal control system, the modified-quantum particle swarm optimization (MQPSO) optimization method is used. The simulations are carried out using hardware in the loop simulations (HILS) which involve hardware, namely; motor stepper actuator and rotary encoder to determine and monitor the direction of the front wheels which are applied to the vehicle dynamics model in a real time. HILS test results show that vehicle movement can be maintained according to the desired trajectory (double lane change) with an average continues-root mean square (C-RMS) error of 0.015366 for lateral motion and 0.014967 for yaw motion, the average C-RMS error is greater 23.75% for lateral motion and 28.18% for yaw motion against the results of the software in the loop simulations (SILS) test.

The paper introduced a new zero voltage transition (ZVT) interleaved flyback converter which has two similar flyback converters. Two flyback converters are in parallel connection and auxiliary circuit in this converter provides ZVT condition for all of the main switches and also provides zero current switching and zero voltage zero current switching (ZVZCS) conditions for the auxiliary switch. Also, ZCS conditions are created for diodes turning off, so reverse recovery problem is solved. The auxiliary circuit in the suggested converter is modular, and by adding parallel branches to the flyback circuit, this circuit can provide soft switching conditions for all switches without significantly change. A complete analysis of the converter is provided and its operating intervals are explained. A 180 W laboratory prototype of the converter is made to approve the theoretical calculations. The experimental results show 7.7% increase in efficiency.
