A quality criterion based on discounted costs is proposed, which demonstrates a significant advantage of the variable frequency asynchronous motor drive with a matrix converter over the drive with a voltage source inverter, which contains a DC link. A MATLAB software simulation was conducted to ascertain the control characteristics. In light of the control range afforded by both drives, a criterion for discounted costs is proposed that is calculated as a mid-range within a specific rotational speed control range, or is determined based on a given tachogram. The aforementioned costs include the expense of the drive, the cost of losses, maintenance costs, amortization charges, and the cost of reactive power compensation due to phase shifts of the main harmonic current and voltage. In this study, we put forth a novel proposal for the incorporation of the cost of distortion power compensation resulting from the presence of harmonic components of the input current. The latter costs characterize the electromagnetic compatibility of the drive with the network. For the first time, a quality criterion for a regulated electric drive is proposed, which has a cost component that takes into account the electromagnetic compatibility of the drive with the network. A significant reduction in this component in a drive with a matrix converter compared to a drive with a DC link predetermines a reduction in discounted costs. For a given payback period and annual inflation rate, it was determined that the mid-range discounted costs were reduced by more than 11 times and the tachogram based discounted costs were reduced by more than 10 times for a drive with a matrix converter in comparison to a drive with a DC link.

The study outlined in this paper aims to analyze the effect of the different displacement angles between the two stator windings on the performance of a dual stator induction motor, which is a squirrel cage induction motor with two identical windings in its stator. The rated power of each winding is 1.1 kW and fed by an inverter operating with the pulse width modulation technique. The analytical model of the machine is used to analyze its characteristics to investigate the impact of the displacement angles between the two stator windings. A simulation program for the system has been developed using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results characterizing the comportment of this machine for different displacement angles of the stator windings show that the torque pulsations are noticeably lower at 30° shift than in the other two scenarios of 0° and 60°, the model exhibits noteworthy performances at this shift. The torque pulsations are noticeably lower at 30° shift than in the other two scenarios of 0° and 60°, and the model exhibits noteworthy performance at this shift. In this case, there are also reduced rotor current ripples, which decrease rotor heating. Despite this, the harmonics increased the peak stator phase currents for a 30° electrical offset.

Several conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms have been applied to harvest the optimal power of a photovoltaic (PV) system. However, the main drawbacks of these algorithms are their fluctuations around the maximum power point (MPP) and their dependence on climatic conditions variation. To overcome these issues, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is proposed, where the system performance depends strongly on the choice of membership functions (MFs). They are typically selected by trial and error, which may not always yield the best results. This paper seeks to enhance the efficiency of the traditional FLC method by using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for optimizing the supports of the triangular MFs. The simulation was performed using MATLAB-Simulink environment using the "1Soltech 1STH-215-P" PV module and a single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC) converter, under ideal environmental conditions of 25 °C and 1000 W/m². A comparison is established between PSO-optimized FLC and the standard FLC-based MPPT method, as well as with several other state-of-the-art approaches reported in related research. The simulation data present that the PSO-optimized FLC approach outperforms other algorithms.

This paper introduces a portable and user-friendly innovation in food processing by replacing traditional molding methods with a linear DC motor (LDM). Traditional methods, which involve manual pressing, are energy-intensive and time-consuming, reducing productivity. The proposed LDM offers a simple, cost-effective, and robust solution capable of producing constant thrust, unlike conventional LDMs that require complex and expensive control methods and are limited to short displacements. The research focuses on modelling and analyzing an LDM with constant thrust characteristics for food processing applications. The primary objective is to model the thrust using the permeance analysis method (PAM), ensuring constant thrust capability. Verification was conducted using the finite element method (FEM) and measurement results, showing a percentage difference of 1.7% and 6.5%, respectively, between PAM and the other methods. The study provides valuable guidance for designing LDMs with constant thrust capabilities, enhancing the efficiency and practicality of food processing devices.

To align with global climate goals, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has enforced strict measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping industry by promoting energy efficiency and cleaner propulsion methods. Ship engines remain major contributors to environmental pollution due to their dependence on fossil fuels and inefficient propulsion systems, highlighting the need for clean and sustainable alternatives. This study aims to design a renewable energy-based marine power system that effectively stores and utilizes solar energy, improving overall efficiency and reducing emissions for process innovation. A hybrid setup was developed using photovoltaic (PV) panels, batteries, and a bidirectional DC-DC converter to enable flexible power flow during both charging and discharging cycles. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm was employed alongside a SEPIC converter to enhance energy extraction from the PV system under dynamic conditions. The integrated system achieved a power extraction efficiency of 97.12%, confirming the effectiveness of the ANFIS-based MPPT strategy and showcasing the viability of intelligent renewable energy solutions in maritime applications.

Three-phase voltage source inverters based on insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are widely used in various industrial applications. Faults in IGBTs significantly affect the performance of the inverter and entire system. Robust and accurate fault detection are the key requirements of fault diagnosis methods. This paper explores a method for diagnosing power switch open circuit faults of a voltage source inverter based on machine learning algorithms. The diagnosis is performed in two steps, firstly the fault is detected by applying the Random Forest classifier algorithm with the DC-link signal. Next, the fault switch location is performed by additionally using the inverter output AC current signals. The diagnostic results based on simulation data show that the fault can be detected with maximum accuracy. Meanwhile, the accuracy in locating the fault switch is also significantly improved with the additional use of current signals measured at the DC-link. Potential application of electromagnetic field signal is also highlighted for the practical implementation of fault diagnosis.

In this study, a new chattering-free global second-order sliding mode load frequency controller (CGSOSMLFC) is proposed for multi-region linked power systems (MRLPS). Key achievements of this paper include: i) a new CGSOSMLFC is investigated utilizing only output variables; ii) a global steadiness of the MRLPS is ensured by eliminating the hitting phase in traditional sliding mode control (TSMC), and the undesirable high-frequency vacillation marvel in the control signal is efficiently lessened by utilizing the second-order sliding mode control technique. Firstly, a novel estimator is constructed to conjecture the immeasurable state variables of the MRLPS. Then, an estimator-based CGSOSMLFC is synthesized to force the states of the controlled plant into the anticipated switching surface at an instance time and attenuate the chattering phenomenon in the control indication. Additionally, the total MRLPS’s stability analysis is executed by applying the Lyapunov function theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI), confirming the practicability and reliability of the method. Lastly, simulation outcomes on a three-zone linked power system are furnished to authenticate the usefulness and advantages of the proposed technique.

Ensuring a smooth power injection into an electric grid in the presence of imperfections, such as phase disturbances, voltage imbalance, frequency variations, harmonics, and DC offsets, requires fast and robust phase-locked loop (PLL) techniques. Among these, the double second-order generalized integrator (DSOGI)-based PLL is widely used due to its strong performance in challenging grid conditions. However, conventional DSOGI-PLL has limitations in handling DC offsets and harmonic disturbances. To address these challenges, this paper introduces the design of a cascaded DSOGI-PLL that enhances attenuation of DC components and low-order harmonics while maintaining computational simplicity for DSP-based implementation. Experimental validation on a TMS320F28379D DSP platform demonstrates that the proposed scheme achieves synchronization settling within 48 ms even under severely polluted grid conditions, while reducing output unit-vector THD to 0.5% when the input voltage contains 22% THD. These results confirm the cascaded DSOGI-PLL as a significant improvement over conventional PLLs.

Design and implementation of an AC motor speed control and monitoring system based on a touch screen interface with built-in overheat protection, utilizing Arduino, meets the increasing demand for efficient, user-friendly motor control in many industrial applications. This system offers an easy-to-use interface to manage the speed of an AC motor, with real-time feedback and adjustments through a touch screen display. The system employs an Arduino microcontroller, which accepts inputs from the touch screen and processes these to regulate the motor's speed through a pulse width modulation (PWM) method. The system also has an overheat protection system, which it is able to monitor the temperature of the motor via a temperature sensor. When the motor reaches a predetermined temperature, the system automatically shuts off power to avoid damage. The intuitive touch screen facilitates convenient monitoring of motor parameters like temperature, giving a smooth experience to operators. The modular design of the system provides scalability across applications, ranging from household appliances to large industrial systems, with reliability, energy efficiency, and safety in motor-driven processes.

The comparison done in this paper uses two control strategies for a solar-fed three-phase inverter, one with standard sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and the other with unified space vector PWM (USPWM), equipped with adaptive voltage control (AVC) and a load current observer (LCO). A photovoltaic (PV) source feeds into a controlled DC link, which in turn supplies a DC voltage to the inverter powering an RL load. From the simulation, it is clear that although SPWM meets the output standards, it has increased total harmonic distortion (THD) and slower transient response. Alternatively, using USPWM control decreased THD to 3.01% and made the system respond in 11 ms, compared to 22 ms before. The new method provides better efficiency and better power quality when used with dynamic loads.
