The radiation unit in the test setup consists of two circular parallel plates and can be considered a parallel-plane radial transmission line. Five equispaced holes are embedded in the setup to insert test tubes containing samples. The study also takes the distribution of the field inside the liquids of the test tubes. The results demonstrate that without inserting the test tubes, the TEM wave propagates in the radiation unit while inserting the test tubes creates a standing wave inside the test tubes.

Muthubalaji","doi":"10.1007/s40998-024-00719-9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s40998-024-00719-9","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Designing an efficient and advanced controlling technique for improving the power quality of grid integrated multilevel inverters is one of the challenging and demanding tasks in recent days. Because reduced Total Harmonic Distortions (THD), voltage sag, swell, and other power quality issues have a significant impact on the performance of the overall grid system. Hence, the different types of multilevel inverter topologies are implemented in the conventional works for solving the power quality problems of the grid-PV systems. Since, it limits with the drawbacks of increased system complexity, oscillations, loss of power, and presence of noise components. Therefore, the proposed work objects to develop an advanced and efficient optimization based controlling technique, named as, Swapped Probabilistic Search (SPS)—Linear Propagation of Differential Parameter (LPDP) Controller for the grid-PV systems. The main contribution of this work is to design and develop a Symmetric Switching based Multilevel Inverter (SSMI) for solving the power quality problems of grid systems. Moreover, a Nelder-Mead Maximum Power Point Tracking (NM-MPPT) algorithm is also employed for obtaining the maximum power yield from the solar PV panels during fluctuating climatic circumstances. The development of a new controlling algorithm for a multi-level inverter in order to enhance grid system power quality is the original research contribution of this work. It supports to increase PV output with minimal switching complexity by utilizing a cutting-edge converter. A new NM-MPPT controlling algorithm, SEPIC converter, SPS optimization, and LPDP controlling technique are used in this study work to achieve these goals. In order to improve the performance of SSMI, the controlling parameters are selected with the use of SPS optimization technique. Based on the LPDP controlling operations, the overall grid performance is improved with better power quality. The SPS-LPDP controlling technique helps to improve the power quality of grid by tuning the optimal controlling parameters. During evaluation, the performance of SPS-LPDP controlling technique is validated and compared by using various measures. By using SPS-LPDP controlling technique, the power tracking efficiency is improved to 99%, THD is reduced to 2.94%, and hardware performance rate is increased up to 98%.</p>","PeriodicalId":49064,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Science and Technology-Transactions of Electrical Engineering","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140560147","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}

In this article, it is proved that by removing the stator slots of high-speed motors, many of these mentioned problems are solved. The electromagnetic design of two motors was investigated according to nominal values and design equations. In this case, the number of poles, coils and outer diameter of two motors were assumed to be the same. Due to the elimination of the slots, the air gap flux density in the slot-less stator is lower than the structure with a slotted stator, which leads to the higher number of coils turns per phase. Then the simulation of the two motors was evaluated using the finite element method for comparison, and some parameters of the two motors such as air gap flux density, torque, Back-EMF, etc. were compared. By comparing the obtained results, it was concluded that the motor without slots provides a more suitable performance compared to the one with slot.

All the activities for the betterment of human life are dependent on some form of energy. Conventional energy sources rely on fossil fuels which have limited reserves and we are bound to exhaust them soon. On the other hand, non-conventional/renewable energy sources are produced on a regular basis and are clean without any polluting emissions. These sources include solar, wind, hydraulic, biomass/bio gas, geothermal, tidal, etc. Solar energy is one of the primary sources in countries like India, but it does have drawbacks like high initial cost, dependency on weather, expensive storage, space requirement, etc. It is therefore imperative to create accurate solar radiation forecasting models to identify and address these issues. Forecasting models are created based on daily or hourly data and are location specific. In this work, binning based machine learning models are proposed for accurately forecasting hourly solar radiation. These models are data driven clustering based models. The clusters are identified based on geographic locations. The proposed approach also helps reduce the number of required models without compromising the high accuracy. In this work, global and diffuse solar radiation data, gathered from five geographically distinct stations from India, is analyzed. Validation of these models demonstrate increased performance.

The constrained stability is analyzed by equating the constrained solution with the solution obtained from an optimal controller with time-varying weight on the control input. The proposed constrained controller adapts itself to real conditions by using information about the perturbations obtained from an extended state observer (ESO). Simulation studies for a lever arm indicates that the constrained controller presented in the closed form is much faster than the common nonlinear model predictive control method which requires an online dynamic optimization at each sampling time. Accordingly, experimental implementation of the proposed controller is conducted on a fabricated platform consisting of a lever arm. The results show that the proposed constrained controller can successfully track different time-varying positions for the arm by admissible torques generated by a DC motor.
