Since the wind is always changing, the output power of a wind generator may be maximized by driving the wind rotor at the best rotational velocity for a given wind velocity. This is accomplished using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system. Over the years, many advanced MPPT controls have been developed, each with huge potential to generate the maximum power in the most efficient and effective way. Concerning the present study on the MPPT control, this paper discusses the analysis, design and real-time implementation of a new intelligent cooperative control technique to enhance the MPPT of wind power generators with isolated loads. The primary goal of the research is to develop of an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2-FLS) MPP estimator that can ensure the operation of the wind generator in maximum power with higher efficiency, less steady-state error, and power fluctuation. Furthermore, a fractional nonlinear synergetic controller has also been designed to enhance the speed response, which can be implemented with a DC–DC boost converter. The suggested intelligent cooperative MPPT controller is tested in an experiment using a permanent magnet synchronous generator-based wind turbine structure. Two different wind speed test scenarios were performed to evaluate the performance of the considered strategy, where the performance of the suggested intelligent cooperative MPPT controller was compared to the performance of the IT1-FLS-based MPPT technique in terms of speed fluctuation ratio, speed error in steady state, and tracking reference. The obtained results indicate that the suggested intelligent cooperative MPPT controller achieves superior performance. The effectiveness of the considered strategy is very good, which makes it a suitable option for regulating various wind generators.</p>","PeriodicalId":17252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flow in porous regions is due to the applied pressure gradient and the movement of the outer cylinder in the axial direction with a constant speed. Velocity profiles of Couette flow, Poiseuille flow, and Couette-Poiseuille of the present problem are analytically obtained using appropriate boundary conditions. Further, the impacts of anisotropic parameters and other physical parameters are studied and graphically presented. It is found that increasing permeability ratio and anisotropic angles have increasing and decreasing impacts on velocity profiles, respectively and strongly influence the skin friction. In the no-slip case, there is greater skin friction on the surface of the inner cylinder than in the slip case.

To develop high-efficiency and vibration-free motors, automobile manufacturers are considering various design changes, material modifications, and alterations in manufacturing methods for the drive motor. Typically, the drive motor core is stacked using 0.25–0.3t steel plates in both emboss-type and welding-type configurations. However, there is a shift toward a bond-adhesive lamination method using self-bond material to create high-efficiency motors. The self-bond method is a layering method using bond-coated steel plates. In this study, we investigated the factors affecting the induction and convection heat fusion temperatures, temperature distribution characteristics, and stacking factor of heat-fused products using self-bond material. Additionally, experiments were conducted to analyze the heat transfer properties during the fusion process and the temperature distribution changes over time. In the heat fusion experiments, induction resulted in temperature increases of 277.1 °C (Zone ①), 161.4 °C (Zone ②), and 103.2 °C (Zone ③) after 120 s of heating. Carbonization occurred due to higher temperature rise in Zone ① compared to Zones ② and ③. On the other hand, convection required 330 min to reach a product fusion temperature of 209 °C, but the temperature deviation was more uniform compared to induction. Furthermore, we analyzed the plate thickness, glue coating thickness, and weight of self-bond material Lots A and B. The experimental results for the stacking factor before and after fusion showed that Lot B had a stacking factor of 96.98%, which was 0.48% higher than Lot A.

The quest for optimizing efficiency and reducing energy usage is a driving force behind research into their performance. The literature continues to offer opportunities for the creation of models that accurately depict the head generated by pumps, with a particular focus on impellers. The current pumps, however, are still far from being completely optimized. The idea of this paper is to conduct an analysis of energy losses and propose a mathematical expression to represent the head produced by a radial impeller, P23 model, working with water flow, considering that head is influenced by losses due to recirculation, shock/incidence, internal friction. The head losses are quantitatively evaluated from experimental data acquired via particle image velocimetry, which provides information on velocity vector direction and wall shear stress, both useful for the analysis. Our results reveal that the loss due to friction is the most significant, accounting for 40–90% of the total head loss, while shock and recirculation losses are restricted to 35% and 25%, respectively. Friction factors vary from 1.0 to 26 depending on the flow rate, as a result of wall shear stresses reaching up to 430 N/m², mainly influenced by pressure and pseudoforces. The head calculated through the new proposed expression is finally compared with the actual head generated by the impeller, measured via experiments dedicated to assess the pump performance. According to our results, the relative deviations between the calculated and measured heads are limited to 5%. Although our results have been validated for a single P23 impeller geometry, the methodology developed here can be extended to other impellers in the future. The results may thus represent a step forward for designing more efficient and power-saving pumps.</p>","PeriodicalId":17252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
