To this regards, the development of procedures for real-time assessment of batteries state of health is of crucial relevance. The present paper provides an innovative procedure to assess sodium-ion battery capacity fading based on the application of discrete wavelet transform to voltage signals, acquired once a certain load pattern is applied at the battery terminals. The procedure development is provided through Na-ion cell aging test. During all the test battery capacity measurements are carried out. Root mean square error (RMSE) between assessed and measured values equals 1.18%. Moreover, during the aging test significant differences between performance evolution of Na-ion and NCR Li-ion cells are highlighted and discussed.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"6 ","pages":"59-68"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10834587","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105654","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, high gains used in traditional discontinuous SMC implementations can induce chattering. To address this, disturbance observers are employed to maintain robustness without resorting to high gains. This article introduces a novel continuous asymptotic SMC method for PMSM currents that avoids the need for disturbance observers, resulting in reduced complexity and tuning efforts. The control laws of the two <inline-formula><tex-math>$dq$</tex-math></inline-formula>-axes currents are obtained through the sensitivity of the tracking errors with respect to the controller outputs. The robustness and convergence properties of the proposed control laws are theoretically studied using the Lyapunov approach. Numerical simulations are used to evaluate the performance and robustness of the proposed controller, followed by experiments to compare it to a discontinuous terminal SMC with and without a disturbance observer. The results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proposed controller that ensures fast convergence, low chattering, and high robustness to parameter variations without requiring the design of additional disturbance observers.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"6 ","pages":"48-58"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10830512","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105670","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, the widespread adoption of EVs relies on advancing fast-charging infrastructure technology. This includes overcoming challenges related to operating under disturbed conditions, which can impact the stability of the internal control loop. This article presents a method for robustly tuning a generalized predictive control (GPC) for an EV charger grid converter. This approach aims to enhance its performance in the face of disturbances in the grid voltage and internal filter parameters. One significant scientific gap in applying GPC in grid-tied converters concerns systematic tuning. This article addresses this gap by explicitly analyzing the impact of tuning on the stability and robustness of the GPC controller. The concept of robust stability margin, derived from singular value decomposition, is used for this purpose. Experimental results obtained from an EV charger prototype validated the tuning proposal aimed at maximizing the robustness and performance of the grid converter. The tests with different internal filters guaranteed a performance level within the defined error band. Furthermore, experimental tests have shown that the proposed controller is more robust than conventional MPC.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"6 ","pages":"69-78"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10824861","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143105655","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}

Uncertain outage risk, collapse risk, and deicing workload of each power line are modeled as fuzzy values predicted by fuzzy deep learning models, and we transform the fuzzy optimization problem into a crisp optimization problem based on fuzzy arithmetics and uncertain theory. We propose an evolutionary algorithm, which combines global search without individual interaction and adaptive local search that uses a fuzzy inference system to determine the operator to be applied on each solution. The algorithm is fully parallelizable and therefore can solve the problem very efficiently based on GPU parallel acceleration.

These features can lead to a reduction in overall size and an enhancement in power quality, although CSRs are often associated with higher conversion losses. Recent advancements in applications that can leverage the benefits of CSRs, along with the development of new devices to improve their efficiency, have produced renewed interest in this configuration. This article aims to review the design parameters of CSR components, modulation schemes, and control strategies, while also conducting a loss analysis using both established literature methods and innovative approaches developed by the authors. In addition, a comparison with other topologies is presented, illustrating that in certain applications and conditions, CSRs can be a compelling choice.

This paper presents a dc-link control strategy intended for OESS-based traction chains. A distinguishing characteristic of the proposed method is its ability to smoothly share the power demand among the available power sources, including the kinetic energy of the train, based on predefined priority levels. The control smoothly reacts to changes in the power limits, including no power, of the available energy sources, without modifying the control structure and with negligible variations of dc-link voltage. Simulation results are provided using a real train model with an onboard battery system.

Energy traders are therefore raising concerns on how to achieve solutions that not only ensure stability in terms of energy needs, both on the supply and demand side, but also enable profits within these markets. To cope with the complexity of this emerging scenario, tools that support traders in their decisions, such as algorithmic trading strategies, are attracting always more and more attention. In particular, evolutionary algorithms have emerged as an effective tool for developing robust and innovative trading strategies. Indeed, their flexibility and adaptability allow for the inclusion of various performance metrics. This article employs a recently issued evolutionary algorithm, called social network optimization, to identify the optimal closing criteria of already opened positions in an energy commodity market. More specifically, the proposed trading strategy is based on five self-defined parameters, which determine a profitable solution over nearly six years of available data. In particular, the overall average positive return achieved and the maximum monthly yield of 1.9% highlight the adaptability and robustness of the developed algorithmic trading strategy. Therefore, the results suggest the potentialities of developing and upgrading novel trading strategies by exploiting evolutionary computation techniques in the actual complex energy markets.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"5 ","pages":"469-478"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10740313","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142645556","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}
