The electricity grid is developing in a distributed network, so the connected energy markets are moving towards a new decentralized structure, where renewable sources and storage facilities (EVs), will have a significant penetration and adoption by energy customers, with the intent to provide sustainable solutions.[1] Balancing the demand and supply of electricity, in a system dominated by random elements, such as solar and wind production that depend on weather conditions, combined with the highly variable demand from domestic users, must lead to a new model of consumers and producers at the same time that is the so-called Prosumer and will be a challenge of great importance. With this paper we want to verify how the smart communities, made up of Prosumers, within smart cities, are the key to the new electricity distribution, based on ICT, IoT and smart metering. A significant contribution will be provided by the Blockchain to make the energy networks and related economic transactions secure and reliable.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"111 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":"116573231","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}

A description covering the issue of bearing currents in converter-fed drives is presented. However, this work focuses on the practical experiences of bearing wear influence on electric motors performance. Explicit information concerning a bearing damage due to corrugation caused by electrical currents through the bearing can only be extracted by a combined analysis of the electrical and the mechanical behavior of the bearing. For this purpose systematic measurements have to be exploited, where both the electrical measurement of bearing currents and the mechanical measurement of the bearing vibration status have to be combined for determining the bearing condition state. A comparison between different vibration measurement methods provides a systematic approach enabling detection and classification of possible changes in bearings of the drive system i.e. motor and the attached load machine, in a very early state. Finally, a description of the possibilities to determine the electrical bearing load in a drive system and the correlation of its possible limit values to the mechanical bearing condition is highlighted.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"163 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":"116195267","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 PEBB based on the synchronous resonant quasi-Z-source DC-DC converter (SRqZSC) features galvanic isolation, wide input voltage and load regulation range, and high power conversion efficiency. Thanks to the power circuit versatility, the PEBB can be used as a power electronic interface not only for the power sources with unidirectional power flow (e.g. the photovoltaic panels and fuel cells) but also in the bidirectional applications, such as modular battery storage systems. The paper gives an insight into the SRqZSC technology, explains its general design and control principles and applicability issues in the residential power generation systems. Moreover, the experimental results are discussed in the context of different applications by means of the 300 W prototype of the SRqZSC based PEBB for the residential DC microgrids.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"23 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":"115025407","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}

Preliminary, the existing PMSM is studied using finite element analysis (FEA) in order to check flux linkage, flux density, cogging and electromagnetic torque values for different speed and current values. Structural design dimensions of the machine are given in detail in the paper as well as FEA based identified parameters used in the real-time analysis. The latter is accomplished using two field programmable gate array (FPGA) processors, each mounted on one Rseries platform, hardware tools provided by National Instruments company. One is running the analytic model of the PMSM with the parameters extracted from FEA and the second one is running the field oriented control (FOC) of the machine. The communication between the two platforms is accomplished using analog and digital IOs to mimic the behavior of the physical test bench with a real machine. Hence, the 3-phase currents are acquired using analog inputs, the position is acquired using digital lines and the PWM is sent via other 3 digital channels. Separation of the machine and converter model on one FPGA and the FOC on the second one, minimizes the gap between testing the real machine and the realtime model in the loop (RTMiL) engaged in this study. Comparative analysis of the FEA and RTMiL results will prove the accuracy of the FPGA based modelling of the PMSM and its control","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"115 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":"128893468","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}
