However, the sensor nodes are burdened and lose power as a result of the message exchange required for recurrent clustering in order to change the role of the cluster head. In this paper, a clustering scheme for WSN with mobile sink is presented that minimizes message exchanges and clustering cost. In this paper we consider a virtual grid structure in the network area or sensor field. The field is divided into a number of cells that behave as clusters of uniform size. Cluster heads create a virtual backbone network and mobile sink moves at a relatively optimal predefined path inside the network. Dynamic routes re-adjustment cost incurred by sink mobility is minimized by virtual backbone network. Reduced re-adjustment cost save the energy of the cluster heads. This scheme effectively schedules the clustering task by calculating the update cycle with the help of fuzzy inference system. Next Update cycle is decided with the help of residual energy of nodes, average sensed data rate and the distance of cluster head from the mobile sink. Fuzzy inference system selects optimal length of update cycle and save the energy used for recurrent dynamic clustering and cluster head selection.

WPT is also largely employed for charging of electric vehicles. For a WPT system, two major components are transmitter and receiver which are mutually coupled together for power transfer. Here, the transmitter coil is positioned statically while the receiver coil is placed in the electronic gadget or in the electric vehicle. The structures of coupling coils are generally of circular, square and rectangular arrangements. The transmitter and receiver coils could be ideally completely aligned or misaligned depending upon the designed structures. The mutual inductance (MI) between the transmitter and receiver coils is a vital parameter which decides the wireless power transfer efficiency and for different coil structures. Hence, this parameter needed to be investigated for different coil structures with and without perfect alignment. This paper makes an attempt to compute the MI for different coil structures with and without perfect alignments employing Finite Element Method (FEM). For comparison, a prototype system was developed in the laboratory and the computed MI values are compared with measured values and there is a good correspondence between the two are observed. Further, the MI is measured for different arrangements and presented in this paper. It is observed that the MI of WPT system decreases with displacement between the two coils as well as the quantum of misalignment. Furthermore, square coil arrangement with perfect and various misalignment leads to higher MI.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100488,"journal":{"name":"e-Prime - Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100959"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143679814","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}

Additionally, site location should also include the area land cost and this cost in the urban area is estimated to be about $500 to $2000 per square meter and other zoning regulations. In the design, the service radius of charging stations is also an important factor; Keeping the battery's DOD between 50 % and 70 % yields an estimated driving range of 150–200 km, which suggests a distance between stations of 50–70 km.

Existing data-driven capacitor lifetime estimation methods for MMC sub-module capacitors that avoid control modification, additional circuits or expert knowledge predominantly rely on machine learning, which is well applicable in theory, but practically require a significant amount of training data, which results in a lack of flexibility necessary for practical applications, where generation of large amounts of training data is difficult to attain. In order to reduce the amount of required labels to the lowest possible, a regression-based neural network approach is proposed that generates estimations for a capacitance degradation indicator on a continuous range. The model is, in contrast to similar neural network-based methods, trained using data with only two distinct labels - a factory condition and a faulty condition, greatly simplifying set-up while avoiding use of expert-knowledge or parameterisation. The novel extrapolation scheme estimates continuous capacitance values not present in the training data by combining regression with additional statistical signal processing. This generalisation performance of this approach is validated using measurement data of an MMC test bench to predict a large range of DC-link capacitance values which were not present in training data. The results show an extended generalising capability at minimal amounts of training data, which can serve as a potential basis for future developments in preventive maintenance and increase operational effectiveness in large-scale converters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100488,"journal":{"name":"e-Prime - Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy","volume":"12 ","pages":"Article 100956"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739858","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}
