Sharing only the output capacitor method is one of the multi-input method and has been used to combine two input energy which are solar and vibration in this research. This system contains feedback system and is designed by using Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller to ensure the output voltage is 12V. The converter with the controller has no overshoot, it settling time is about 0.02 second and the rise time is about 0.0001 second. Thus, it is proved the converter with controller is capable to reduce the settling time and rise time compare to converter without controller.","PeriodicalId":275077,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Conference on Energy Conversion (CENCON)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133111250","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 research aims to analyze the highest energy consumption factor of a medium rise commercial building and identify the energy conservation measures that could contribute to energy saving without affecting the thermal comfort. Energy modeling using simulation tools is used to predict the energy consumption in the building and simulates some designs as strategies of energy saving.

The mode detection algorithm for CCM and DCM is presented to control the average current.

Five machine parameters i.e. magnet arc, slot opening, magnet thickness, airgap length and stator inner radius, are identified in the analytical sub-domain model and then optimized using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to provide the optimal motor design with certain objective functions. The objective functions are the low cogging torque, low total harmonics distortion, high output torque, and high efficiency. The results from this MDO show that the magnet arc is optimized from full-pitch to 0.8 of full-pitch which yields 20% cost-saving in magnet volume, the back-emf total harmonics distortion of 4.7%, the cogging torque of 0.45Nm and 93.1% efficiency when the stator inner radius, Rsi is set to 32mm for 15slot/10pole PMSM. Whereas, the 6slot/4pole PMSM exhibits the back-emf total harmonics distortion of 9.3%, the cogging torque of 0.17Nm and 95.7% efficiency when the stator inner radius, Rsi is set to 20.9mm.
