However, it is quite difficult to quantify these losses. In order to study the effect of different clamping materials and the impact of the magnetization direction, an experimental mock-up composed of a stator and a clamping plate has been developed. An axial coil generates a circumferential magnetic flux in the stator core at different frequencies. Eddy current losses in the clamping plates are deduced from a power balance by subtracting Joule losses and iron losses from the total measured losses. Iron losses are deduced from 3D FE calculations while the impact of the frequency on B(H) curve is taken into account. Losses in the clamping device are then analyzed depending on experimental parameters.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129946939","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 first step is to demonstrate that the hybrid method is effective for prediction. We showed that the prediction for 2019 was good, and that was before the onset of COVID-19. As for the second step, we applied the same hybrid algorithm after the emergence of COVID-19, i.e. for 2020, to note the difference between the prediction and the current pregnancy, which represents the impact of this epidemic, and this prediction in the short term. A short-term role in the operation of a power system in terms of achieving an economical electrical output and avoiding losses or outages. We've collected four consecutive years of data that is downloaded every quarter-hour of the day. Electricity consumption in Algeria is used as an input to the PSO-ANN learning algorithm. The results of the PSO-ANN pregnancy prediction algorithm have better accuracy than the ANN prediction. In the future but with the emergence of a pandemic that has had a clear difference and represents economic losses in the field of electricity, the epidemic should be viewed as a short-term variable to reduce the level of energy loss and generation cost.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132640396","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}

Several important aspects are covered in the proposed algorithm, such as the detection of sensors failure, the isolation of faulty sensors, and the reconfiguration of the control system by a correct estimation. A logic circuit ensures fault detection by analyzing the residual signal between the measured and estimated quantities, while a single observer performs the task of estimating the line currents. In addition, a decision logic circuit isolates the erroneous signal and simultaneously selects the appropriate estimated current signal. An axes transformation ensures rotation from (a,b) to (α,β), which keeps a low-cost control using only two current sensors. The proposed scheme is tested on MATLAB/Simulink environment and experimentally validated in a laboratory prototype mainly containing a dS1104 card and 4 kW induction motor.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122163318","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 main challenge associated with these sources of energy is their variability and random nature. It is as a result of instability introduced by the VRE generation sources, that is why there is a strict control measures put in place by the regulators as to how much VRE generation sources can feed into the power grid in the case of its integration into an existing power grid. It becomes imperative to consider implications for grid stability and reliability when considering a power grid that will consist of VRE generation only. Eigenvalue approach was used to analysed the performance of anticipated large-scale VRE grid to ascertain its behaviour. Eigenvalue approach is one of the methods to examine the stability of a power system’s dynamic performance. The results indicated that it is possible to attain the necessary stability provided the assumptions made during the modelling stage is revised to improve upon the model.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126532998","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 proposed controller is used to replace the conventional PI angular speed controller that generates the electromagnetic reference torque for DTC, in order to improve the dynamic and the permanent behaviors of the angular speed control response as well the electromagnetic torque.

Unlike many conventional controllers, the main contribution of the present paper provides a soften control law which useful to handle parameters variations due to the different operating conditions occurring on the PV system and makes the controller easy to implement. This aim is achieved using fuzzy systems in an adaptive scheme to approximate the switching control function of the global control law while backstepping sliding mode control compensates uncertainties and external disturbances.

Frequency response analysis (FRA) is one of the most widely used techniques for detecting various types of mechanical damage in transformers. The equivalent circuit of the transformer will be represented by a complex network of R, L, and C elements in the FRA technique. For transformer faults diagnosis, various calculation techniques and diagnostic techniques may be used, such as acoustic emission analysis, thermal images of electromagnetic radiation, transformer temperature, and humidity analysis. SFRA test is one of these techniques that could be used to determine the fault type based on its response over a wide frequency range. The main challenge of the SFRA test is that the functional interpretation requirement for this test is not universally accepted Also statistical features are defined for this SFRA response to be used in fault detection and classification. In this paper, the effect of the transformer rating on the fault diagnosis techniques using SFRA is tested. Also, the effect of the transformer VA rating on the statistical parameters and the classification rules of fault diagnosis is discussed. Finally, the features used in fault diagnosis are ranked according to its independence of the transformer rating resulting in a more accurate matching fault diagnosis technique.","PeriodicalId":340029,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Electrical Engineering","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122827743","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}
