Abstract

The increasing demand for efficient and reliable high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems has underscored the necessity for advanced control strategies to augment system performance. This article presents the design and implementation of an integral backstepping control approach customized for voltage source converter (VSC)-based HVDC systems. The proposed methodology primarily concentrates on tackling the inherent nonlinearities, uncertainties, and disturbances that typically impede the stability and efficiency of VSC-HVDC systems. By incorporating integral action into the backstepping control framework, two key objectives are accomplished: i) precise regulation of the direct voltage at the rectifier station and accurate control of the active power at the inverter station, and ii) effective power factor correction (PFC) at both stations within the HVDC system. These objectives contribute to robust tracking performance, enhanced dynamic stability, and improved overall system efficiency. The theoretical design has been verified through extensive numerical simulations conducted in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, showcasing the efficacy of the proposed control strategy in ensuring stability and performance under varying conditions.

Abstract

The electric vehicle (EV) is increasingly emerging as an attractive solution to reduce reliance on fossil fuels in India. In commercial EVs, solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is employed both to charge the battery and power the vehicle. However, the conventional bidirectional DC-DC converter layout results in underutilization of solar PV power when the battery's state of charge (SOC) reaches maximum capacity. This work offers a unique dual input super boost (DISB) DC-DC converter designed specifically for solar-powered electric vehicles (EVs) to address the aforementioned challenge. The recently suggested converter operates in six different modes to effectively capture solar photovoltaic (PV) power. Notable benefits of this design include a wide range of speed control and fewer conduction devices in each mode, which eventually result in increased overall efficiency. An extensive analysis of the suggested DISB DC-DC converter is carried out by the study, encompassing detailed examination of operating waveforms and dynamic evaluations. Furthermore, the converter's performance and operation under the six different modes are verified through simulation.

Chief among these is heightened reliability, diminished maintenance costs, and augmented efficiency. By circumventing the need for a gearbox, gearless turbines shed weight, bolster reliability, and demand less upkeep. The incorporation of permanent magnet generators further elevates their efficiency and renders them well-suited for offshore deployment. The emergence of gearless wind turbines heralds a promising frontier for effectively and efficiently harnessing wind power. Their streamlined design and robust performance potential position them as a transformative force in the renewable energy landscape, poised to catalyze substantial advancements towards sustainable energy goals.

Abstract

In industrial applications, especially in manufacturing environments, electric motors are employed practically everywhere. They are necessary for many different sectors, which can sometimes make it challenging to prevent malfunctions and keep them operating at their best. Numerous defects can affect how well they work, but bearing-related errors are the most frequent reasons for motor failures. This research uses temporal and frequency domain analysis of vibration signals to identify motor faults. A public domain database has been used for the investigation and analysis. The findings show that electric motor problems, including inner raceway, outer raceway, and rolling element fault, can be identified and diagnosed using the time and frequency domain features extracted from the vibration signals. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is shown by comparing it with both the time domain and frequency domain techniques. The accuracy of the time domain and frequency domain techniques is 85.4% and 91.6% respectively. However, the proposed hybrid technique has a far better accuracy of 95.8% as compared to the two techniques.

Abstract

This research work highlights the hardware implementation of safety smart password-based GSM module controlling circuit breaker. Safety is the major concern in daily life for domestic activities. In current scenario, accidental death of a lineman are the major issues and to protect operators for the same. To control circuit breakers, passwords security is essential for lineman. Due to that electrical accident’s ratio is increased day to day life at the time of repairing the lines. It is also done due to lack of communication and coordination between maintenance and substation. For safety of lineman, on and off line turning operation is proposed. Secure password is for breaker operation and maintenance. In the proposed system, password is sent to the line operator's mobile phone and GSM module by automatic voltage regulator (AVR) microcontroller. Entered password and password received by the GSM receiver is match so circuit breaker will be smoothly operated. If password is incorrect, message will appear on the LCD display for security purposed and message sent to control room regarding unauthorized access to the system.

Abstract

The present work represents a method for identification of the vulnerable nodes in smart grid as well as assessment of the performance of voltage stability indicator technique with the help of weighted least square scheme. in today’s smart grid system, false data injection (FDI) is the major issue to supply uninterruptedly at demand side in advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The recent blackouts are the consequence of non-identifying FDI as research on FDI is not considered under power system analysis. In our research, vulnerable nodes of a power system network have been identified and a state estimation method was used to eliminate superfluous data for those identified nodes. Voltage stability indicator (VSI) based state estimation have been used successfully to make the smart grid system error free as possible. VSI method has been used first to find the vulnerable nodes of the grid after that the efficient state estimation method i.e. optimal weighted least square (optimal WLS) have been employed to get refined result. Results show that VSI based technique in concurrence with optimal WLS has potential to eliminate undesirable data with sensible level of precision.

Abstract

The primary intent of the present research was to design and execute an electrical load forecasting system using machine learning (ML) techniques. The implementation of an advanced predictive method, specifically an ML algorithm, helped in accurate load forecasting, which is crucial for efficient power grid management, and optimizing resource allocation. Electricity load fluctuates due to various complex factors, making traditional forecasting methods struggle. This is where ML shines. ML algorithms can learn from historical data, identifying intricate patterns and relationships that influence electricity demand. This allows them to make more accurate predictions than static models. In this work, regression learning models in ML are used with the MATLAB platform. Three years of real-time data from the Wavi substation in India are used. Considering day, date, hour of day, max and min temperature of the day, and voltage and current are taken as input parameters to test fourteen different models of assorted regression algorithms. The performance of these models is evaluated using commonly used metrics, root mean square error (RMSE), mean squared error (MSE), and mean absolute error (MAE), along with a few other parameters. The optimized trained model is then tested with real data to obtain the forecasted load. The correlation between the Actual load and forecasted load is found to be 0.999962.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to propose an innovative method of controlling the speed of an induction motor (IM) using fuzzy logic, integrated with internet of things (IoT). To achieve this aim, fuzzy logic was used to increase the performance of IM in order to obtain stable speed and high system response even in the presence of disturbances. Moreover, fuzzy logic relied on rules that used linguistic variables, and its main advantage was simple yet highly accurate, enabling the system to be efficient for determining parameters compared to the time-consuming and inefficient trial-and-error method. In this research, IoT implementation used Blynk platform to control and monitor IM speed remotely. Additionally, the components used in this research included an inverter, gate driver, Arduino Mega 2560, and NodeMCU ESP8266. Pulse width modulation (PWM) was required to obtain rotational speed of the motor through MOSFET switching process. The gate driver amplified PWM signal from Arduino Mega 2560, allowing MOSFET to operate. As a result, IM achieved a stable speed, and the system response followed the reference using fuzzy logic. In addition to this process, the system could be controlled and monitored remotely. Finally, the control system was successful, and the results were presented to show the viability of the proposed method.

Abstract

This research paper proposes a novel approach to address the energy challenges faced by internet of things (IoT) devices. The wireless communication system involves a transmitter equipped with energy harvesting module that charges both a rechargeable battery and a capacitor through an energy storage management system (ESMS). This ESMS is based on a reinforcement learning algorithm to dynamically switch between the battery and the capacitor, ensuring efficient power utilization. This reinforcement learning algorithm enables the device to learn and adapt its energy consumption patterns based on environmental conditions and usage, optimizing energy usage over time. Additionally, the system employs a rainflow counting method to estimate the state-of-health (SoH) of the battery, ensuring its longevity and overall system performance. By combining these approaches, the proposed system aims to significantly improve the energy efficiency and lifespan of IoT devices, as well as the amount of data sent for different temperature ranges, ultimately enhancing their cost-effectiveness and performance.

Abstract

This paper evaluates the performance of sensorless vector and scalar control methods, namely field-oriented control-based model reference adaptive system (FOC-MRAS) and voltage frequency-based model reference adaptive system (VF-MRAS), applied to an induction motor (IM) driven by a space vector modulation inverter. In motorized systems, conventional control methods use mechanical sensors, which can be cumbersome and costly. To overcome these limitations, sensorless control techniques based on speed estimation have been introduced. In this paper, MRAS-based sensorless speed control for IM drives using rotor flux is used. This adaptive system uses a reference model based on rotor flux and implements closed-loop control. The estimated speed derived from the current and voltage models is compared to the desired speed and adjusted by the proportional-integral (PI) controllers. The performances of the approaches are evaluated in terms of speed regulation and minimization of electromagnetic torque and rotor flux ripples, through a comparative analysis of sensor and sensorless controls under various operating conditions, including variable loads and speed reversal. The simulation results obtained, using consistent criteria for both methods, confirm the effectiveness of sensorless control.
