In the proposed method, the index space distribution including torque index and flux index, which are highly related with the average torque and flux regulation capability, can be fast obtained by a simple magnetic circuit model, and then only these pareto front designs of the index space are calculated by finite element (FE). Hence, compared with the conventional pure FE-based multi-objective optimization, the optimization time of the proposed model-based multi-objective optimization is much smaller, e.g., 67 hours to 2.3 hours for the studied 12-slot/10-pole HESF machine on a desktop with 64 GB RAM and Intel Core i9-10900F CPU. In addition, in the high dimensional optimization the pure FE based optimization will easily crowd and stuck around many local optimum points due to flux-leakage and local magnetic saturation, whilst the proposed model-based optimization captures the main magnetic path characteristics, which can efficiently find better designs in a reasonable time. In this paper, the pareto front obtained from the proposed model-based optimization method contains better designs than that of the pure FE-based optimization method. A machine prototype is built and tested to validate the proposed model-based multi-objective optimization method in this paper.","PeriodicalId":13337,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications","volume":"61 2","pages":"2996-3006"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143777724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with existing methods, the proposed technique can provide the SOH indicators of turn-to-turn (TT) and groundwall (GW) insulation simultaneously through the analysis of line current. Moreover, antiresonance oscillations in the HF line current are also explored to determine insulation SOH, which contributes to a unique capability in classifying types of degradation.

A finite element analysis (FEA) based harmonic restoration method is utilized to evaluate and quantify contributions of individual armature reaction spatial harmonics to PM eddy current loss and temperature distributions for 12-slot SPMSMs with different pole numbers. It shows that there is one dominant armature reaction spatial harmonic contributing to the majority of PM loss for each SPMSM with different slot/pole number combinations. The average PM loss distribution is symmetrical to the center line in circumferential direction with armature reaction or PM magnetic field only, while the interaction between the armature reaction and PM field causes the asymmetric PM loss distribution. Besides, the maximum loss density in one PM pole tends to move from the circumferential center to the edge when the rotor pole number increases. Consequently, the resultant PM local hotspot temperature has been calculated through 3-D thermal finite element method, which shows the same trend as loss density distribution.

This study addresses this issue by harnessing offshore wind energy resources to meet the charging demands, particularly in remote coastal regions. The primary challenge tackled in this research involves the complex management of power flow dynamics due to the inherent variability of wind energy and the stochastic nature of EV charging demands, modeled using probabilistic distributions to represent varying arrival times, charging durations, and power requirements of EVs. This work introduces a pioneering framework centered on the development of a wind-powered electric vehicle charging system (EVCS) that utilizes a medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) bus. An enhanced decentralized model predictive control (MPC) strategy was employed that distinguishes itself from conventional control paradigms due to its heightened adaptability and proficient management of the dynamic interactions among wind energy generation, energy storage systems (ESS), EV charging demands, and grid interactions. Rigorous simulations and real-time hardware-in-loop studies underscore the efficacy of the MPC strategy in preserving the voltage stability within the MVDC bus while optimizing the power flow, thereby minimizing energy losses and ensuring grid resilience.

To address this challenge at the operational level, this paper proposes a frequency-constrained dispatching method for IEHMs. This method coordinates synergic resources with diverse dynamic features, including combined heat and power (CHP) unit, wind turbine, and battery energy storage system (BESS), to contribute to primary frequency regulation (PFR). Frequency security, both dynamic and static, is maintained through constraints that account for synergic PFR resources. We employ a distributionally robust (DR) joint chance constraint to manage the wind power uncertainty in IEHMs with a high penetration of wind energy. Based on the above modeling, we develop a frequency-constrained dispatching model for IEHMs. This model integrates the coupled energy sectors to balance the PFR reserves and energy supply while guaranteeing frequency security and minimizing the daily cost of IEHM. To tackle the nonconvex DR joint chance constraint, we adopt a big-M-free reformulation approach based on the Wasserstein-metric ambiguity set, which requires fewer predefined parameters and significantly enhances computational efficiency. Finally, extensive case studies on two test systems validate the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed method.

However, the increasing adoption of EVs and PVs has introduced unprecedented challenges to the reliability of power systems. The challenge lies in the inherent intermittency associated with solar generation and the uncertainty introduced by the charging load of EVs on the demand side of power grids. Therefore, it is indispensable from the perspective of power system operation and planning to consider the uncertainties associated with the output power of these resources in the reliability assessment framework. This paper develops an electric vehicle load model considering diverse charging station locations, EV types, and drivers' behavior. Also, the proposed method integrates the uncertainty of PV generation through interval prediction utilizing the K-Nearest Neighbors regressor. A sequential Monte Carlo simulation is used to analyze the impact of PV interval (forecasted lower and upper generation profile), EV load (hourly and peak), line failures, and demographic characteristics associated with EV on power system reliability. The reliability assessment is extended to sensitivity analysis and evaluation of the impact of EV loads and PV generation profiles on the capacity value of PV generators with different capacities, utilizing the Discrete Convolution approach. The proposed approach is demonstrated on the IEEE Reliability Test System and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in determining the reliability of the power system by explicitly accommodating PV uncertainties and the intricacies of EVs.","PeriodicalId":13337,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications","volume":"61 2","pages":"2248-2257"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143777909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TSCF and HRC faults cause a significant temperature increase if not early detected. TSCFs requires immediate IM shutdown, whereas the effects of HRCs can be monitored over time. Several methods proposed in the literature are based on zero-sequence voltage or negative-sequence current for fault diagnosis. Most of them were applied for steady-state conditions and only consider sinusoidally distributed windings, without including harmonic components. The proposed method is based on monitoring the fifth harmonic current during the start-up transient to separate the effects of TSCFs and HRCs. Two new analytical models with fault considering the <italic>h</i>-th harmonic in the supply voltage are proposed. The first IM model incorporates the effects of a TSCF in any of the phase windings, while the second considers an HRC fault. Based on these analytical models, two indicators are proposed to quantify the severity of the faults. Both indicators are defined from the positive-sequence component of the stator current and allow decoupling the effects between the TSCFs and the HRCs. The practical implementation was carried out with a standard soft-starter, without modifying their control algorithm or internal structure. In the experimental tests, an IM with modified windings was used to generate short-circuits between 3 and 10 turns. On the other hand, the HRCs were generated by connecting resistors of different magnitudes in series with a phase winding. The experimental results demonstrated that the positive-sequence current component of the fifth harmonic exhibits different patterns in the presence of a TSCF or an HRC.","PeriodicalId":13337,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications","volume":"61 2","pages":"1927-1935"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143769436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
