Benefiting from a dual active bridge topology, the real and the imaginary parts of the equivalent load impedance can be modulated simultaneously and independently, without requiring any additional power converter. Hence, the proposed method - based on a first harmonic analysis (FHA) - has shown its capacity to achieve the system maximum efficiency and to furnish the required power on an open-loop test-case despite variations in the windings mutual inductance and mistuned resonant capacitors. By extension, the proposed method is able to counter any change in the circuit parameters to some extent. Finally, a time-domain analysis (TDA) is performed for discussing on controllability restrictions associated with the considered full-bridge converters, whereas demonstrating the quasi-equivalence between TDA and FHA results.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114104849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though the harmonic content of such windings is lower than that one of fractional slot concentrated windings, harmonics with a small ordinal number compared to the pole pair number can still be annoying. This paper presents a method for the design of windings with reduced low order harmonic content. First it gives a short review on three-phase windings with a coil span of two slots. Thereafter it shows how an appropriate choice of another winding number for some coils or some swaps in the assignment of coils to phases can lower disturbing harmonics of low order. The design procedure uses the star of slots. It is applicable also to multiphase machines: a five-phase machine serves as example.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127001175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes the simplified Ant Colony Optimization algorithm combined to a constrained Nelder-Mead method (ACO-NM) for cart-pendulum control structure tuning. A new cost function is proposed to manage cart-rail length. Simulation and experimental results confirm the efficiency of the ACO-NM algorithm to optimize the control structure for four cart-pendulum parameter sets.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127783497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The No Free Lunch theorem states that no single algorithm can perform well on every optimization problem, encouraging the development of new optimization metaheuristics. Ant lion optimizer (ALO) is a nature inspired stochastic metaheuristic algorithm which mimics the hunting behavior of ant lions in nature using steps of hunting prey such as the random walk of ants, building traps, entrapment of ants in traps, catching preys, and re-building traps. In this paper, an ALO approach is adapted to multiobjective optimization (MOALO) using external archiving and ranking with crowding distance. Furthermore, a MOALO version with the control parameter setup based on Lozi map with chaotic dynamical behavior is also proposed to solve a Transformer Design Optimization (TDO) problem with two competing objectives. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated by the simulations applied to a TDO problem.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125204233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
