This study presents an improved control method to mitigate the chattering phenomenon often encountered in traditional approaches. By integrating maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with pitch angle control, the efficiency and performance of WECS utilizing permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) are significantly improved. The primary objective is to regulate the generator and grid-side converter to precisely track the wind speed reference determined by the MPPT algorithm. The proposed sliding mode control (SMC) employs a unique, smooth, and continuous switching mechanism to address the chattering issue. Its stability is rigorously analyzed using Lyapunov's stability function. The control framework is straightforward to implement, and simulation results demonstrate its superior performance, achieving a total harmonic distortion (THD) below 2%, accurate current injection, and a near unity power factor. The MATLAB/Simulink based system is also validated through real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing using an OPAL-RT simulator, confirming the model's effectiveness. Finally, the proposed method is benchmarked against existing schemes, highlighting its competitive advantages.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"11 3","pages":"348-359"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11611627","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149097865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, under the long-term effects of electrical and thermal stress, the current sensors may suffer from the current measurement offset errors (CMOEs), which causes obvious speed fluctuations and torque ripples. To address this, a current measurement offset error elimination (CMOEE) method based on the signal injection is proposed in this paper, which enables to maintain the performance of the IPMSM drives. In the proposed CMOEE method, the effects of the CMOEs on the performance of the IPMSM drives are analyzed. On the basis of this, the details of the proposed CMOEE method are provided. Then, considering that the response of the injected signal is extracted by the band-stop filter, obvious amplitude attenuation and phase deviation are introduced into the proposed CMOEE method. With this, the performance of the proposed CMOEE method may be degraded. Accordingly, a simple yet effective compensation method is adopted. Consequently, the amplitude attenuation and phase deviation are effectively compensated, ensuring the performance of the proposed CMOEE method. Finally, experimental tests are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed CMOEE method under different cases.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"11 3","pages":"269-282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11606633","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149097867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed L-DO-TLC topology is constructed by cascading a T-type three-level inverter with a nine-switch converter in an L-shaped configuration. By reusing devices, it generates two independent three-level outputs, reducing the number of power switches from 24 to 15. Based on this topology, a hybrid-vector (HV) finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) strategy is introduced. The prediction model of the OEWIM is formulated using forward Euler discretization. A voltage vector selection mechanism is then developed based on the zero-sequence current (ZSC) suppression principle, significantly reducing the computational complexity of the predictive control algorithm. To further improve control performance, an HV-MPC decision-making strategy is proposed that jointly optimizes current tracking and vector application. This method effectively mitigates the large torque ripple observed in single-vector (SV)-MPC and the high switching frequency encountered in dual-vector (DV)-MPC. Simulation and hardware-in-the-loop experimental results validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed strategy.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"11 2","pages":"179-191"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11495431","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148442241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their reliability is often lower than that of two-port converters, as they involve more components, experience higher thermal stress, require complex control algorithms, and operate in multiple modes. This paper investigates and evaluates the reliability of a three-port power converter under different operating modes using the MIL-HDBK-217F standard. Component-level failure rates were analyzed, and design improvements were proposed to reduce stress and enhance performance. Based on the reliability analysis, a novel reliability-oriented control strategy is proposed to enhance the resilience of the standalone system. By implementing a state-of-charge (SoC) based management algorithm, the converter avoids high-stress operating modes, such as the SISO PV-load mode, thereby extending the expected operational lifetime. The effectiveness of these improvements was verified through LTspice simulations and Scilab calculations, providing a robust validation method given that physical lifecycle testing requires extended operational durations. Results indicate a significant reduction in failure rates, improved system efficiency, and extended operational lifetime.","PeriodicalId":100339,"journal":{"name":"CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications","volume":"11 2","pages":"201-210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11498584","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148442244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The battery packs incorporate a battery management system (BMS). BMS is vulnerable to cybersecurity risks because it depends on communication. We need to secure the reference values of battery voltage, current, and state of charge (SoC). If a hacker changes these values, the battery could be overcharged or undercharged. In this context, this paper discusses various communication protocols used in BMS, along with cell-balancing techniques, including active and passive ones. Furthermore, it enlightens the different SoC estimation techniques, such as artificial neural networks (ANN), model-based, data-driven, and statistical-based. These SoC methods are employed on an online dataset of a LIB. It indicates that the ANN has a minimum root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.1%. Moreover, blockchain is utilized to store the BMS data on a private blockchain network for anomaly detection. A hardware prototype is implemented to validate the anomaly data logging.

A compensation structure scheme and a method for determining compensation parameters that can effectively improve the transmission capacity are adopted. This scheme significantly reduces the parasitic equivalent capacitance of the coil by changing the potential distribution between the coil turns, and improves the transmission performance and insulation performance. Moreover, an evaluation method using transfer admittance as a verification index is proposed.
