The method presented in this paper is to raise the efficiency of switched reluctance motor. Toyota Prius motor design was based on the true size of geometry motor with a conventional motor with the same power rating Switched Reluctance Motor 6 to 4 compared with the same surface area and Size, Using optimal design constraints Switched Reluctance Motor 4 to 4 five-layer, Switched Reluctance Motor 4 to 4 seven-layer is studied. By examining the different modes including changing arc stator and rotor, change teeth stator and rotor and the change in the air gap, we select the best structure. The motor design and relations governing method was developed using simulation software Magnet diagrams torque around the axis Z, speed, flux density was obtained. Switched Reluctance Motor Multilayer also increase more space occupied, but due to the empty space between the layers is cooling easier. Efficiency of Switched Reluctance Motor Multilayer to more Switched Reluctance Motor conventional compared. Use Switched Reluctance Motor 4 to 4 Multilayer in an electric vehicle, due to the low cost of this motor is more advantageous than the Toyota Prius motor.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"8 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":"127581024","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 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}

The capacitor in the first SC cell serves two purposes: a) the traditional one of voltage multiplier; b) clamping the voltage across the switch for avoiding spikes induced by the leakage inductance at the switch turn-off. A switch of low voltage rating can be used. The capacitor in the second SC cell, besides the role of a voltage multiplier, makes the output diode to be submitted to a voltage smaller than the output voltage. Thus, one of the disadvantages of the boost-derived converters is avoided. The leakage inductance energy is recuperated via the capacitors in the two SC cells and transferred to the load. As a result, without affecting the high de gain, the efficiency is considerable improved. A description of the operation and a steady-state analysis of the proposed converter is presented. The proposed converter of 11V input, 400V output, nominal power 200W was simulated and tested in the laboratory.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"774 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":"116977796","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}

That is, overload characteristics of the HTS-ISM is explained and demonstrated through analysis and experiments. It is shown that the prototype shows overload (slip) output at 2 times as large as the rated synchronous one (20 kW), and then such characteristics can be reproduced by means of 2D finite element analysis, in which the contact resistance of rotor windings is utilized as a fitting parameter. Furthermore, high torque test at 600 rpm is also carried out and discussed. This result could be applied to the optimal design of the HTS-ISM that possesses the overload tolerance.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"2 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":"131257210","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}

Today cargo freight trains in Europe are still manually coupled via the hook-and-chain-coupling, a technology older than 100 years. A solution to allow a faster, safer and automated way is a coupling robot installed below the cargo trains at marshalling yards. This solution can be implemented gradually and with no change on rolling stock giving time to implement the long-term solution of an automatic coupling allowing ETCS Level 3 in the future.","PeriodicalId":117883,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (SPEEDAM)","volume":"15 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":"128113141","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}
