The three-phase modified PUC is designed by the cascading connection of a flying capacitor and Hybrid Packed U-Cell (HPUC) in each phase, where the whole circuit design is fed by a single-dc-source voltage. The single-dc-source three-phase modified PUC inverter is also expandable by expanding the HPUC structure. The floating capacitors are actively balanced by integrating the abundant redundant switching states into the designed pulsewidth modulation technique through a voltage balancing algorithm. The performance of the three-phase nine-level modified PUC inverter and its floating capacitor voltage balancing is evaluated through theoretical and experimental analyses under all stand-alone and grid-connected operation conditions. The comparative study demonstrates that the three-phase modified PUC has fewer active and passive devices compared to other counterpart three-phase multilevel topologies.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"1448-1460"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11129241","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145027983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this article constructs a hybrid analysis method that combines numerical calculations and minimal 3-D-FEA. The aim of this method is to be practical and easy to use, even for novice designers, and to accurately and quickly design skewed PMSMs. In this article, the effectiveness of the proposed method is clarified through several case studies, and then, a skewed PMSM designed using the proposed method is verified experimentally.

However, traditional three-level inverters used to drive these motors often escalate system costs due to their large number of power switches. This article introduces a dual three-phase sparse inverter designed to address these limitations. The proposed inverter utilizes only 16 power switches, a substantial reduction compared to conventional three-level inverters. This article also propose a carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (PWM) scheme that uniquely imposes no computational burden on the microcontroller. This PWM strategy incorporates a 180° phase shift between carriers of two three-phase systems, effectively eliminating common-mode voltage and <italic>xy</i> harmonics. A comprehensive comparative study was conducted, assessing the proposed inverter against both two-level and conventional three-level inverters based on total harmonic distortion and efficiency.

At the control center, offline motion planning is fundamental in the computation of optimized trajectories accounting for the system’s constraints. Smooth movements, collision and forbidden areas avoidance, target visibility (TV), and energy consumption are all important factors to consider to be able to generate feasible and optimal plans. When mobile manipulators (terrestrial and aerial) are employed, the base and the arm movements are often separately planned, ultimately resulting in suboptimal solutions. We propose an optimal whole body planner based on discrete dynamic programming and optimal interpolation. Kinematic redundancy is exploited for collision and forbidden areas avoidance, and to improve target illumination and visibility from onboard cameras. The planner, implemented in the Robot Operating System (ROS), interfaces the 3D Rover Operations Control Software (3DROCS), a mission planner used in several programs of the European Space Agency (ESA) to support planetary exploration surface missions and part of the ExoMars Rover’s planning software.

Two battery energy storage system (BESS) units serve as common inputs for the redundancy-based dc MG, comprising a cascaded bidirectional Cuk converter (CBC) connected to an auxiliary cascaded bidirectional Boost converter (CBB). The CBC acts as the primary electronic solution, while the CBB enhances reliability by maintaining operation in case of a CBC failure. Furthermore, a Fuel Cell (FC) is linked to the main dc-link of the CBC by a Boost converter. The key contribution lies in the fuzzy-based voltage restoration for the EMS, integrating SoC equalization via S-shaped functions, even during BESS, FC, or CBC maintenance. As the EMS operates as a current source-based system, voltage variations on the dc-link are expected. However, after fuzzy-based restoration, the voltage deviation remains below 2% and the operational efficiency exceeds 90%.

In this article, the option to equip park transformers with on-load tap changers (OLTCs) and control them with the aim of regulating voltage levels on the ac output side of the inverters to increase their effectiveness across several operation points and to lift restrictions in inverter power feed-in is explored. Based on a model of a 105 MVA-park, the operation principle is explained and possible annual increases in energy yield are explored based on a simulation of a specific park setup. Subsequently, requirements for reactive power provision on the park are introduced and varied to study the effects on the results. Next, it is investigated whether the OLTC operation enables a different design choice for a larger inverter capacity for new PV parks to achieve a similar output with fewer units. A concluding economic analysis gives insight into whether the expenses for additional tap-changers can be economically justified for a PV park operator for this setup.

However, this advancement gave rise to vulnerabilities, mainly in the form of energy theft and adversarial attacks to falsify energy consumption data. In response, anomaly detection models have been tested and evaluated against machine-generated adversarial attacks, such as the fast gradient sign method (FGSM) and Carlini and Wagner (C&W). However, these types of attacks are mainly designed to prevent anomaly detection without considering a possible reduction in the reported energy consumption, thus overlooking the energy theft problem. Furthermore, the lack of generalization of adversarial attacks evaluated to other models remains a concern. In fact, conventional anomaly detection methods do not detect new adversarial attacks generated by artificial intelligence. Thus, this article introduces a state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning (DRL) through a deep deterministic policy gradient, which produces novel adversarial samples that dramatically reduce reported energy consumption while evading the anomaly detection mechanism. The ConvLSTM uses the adversarial data to evaluate and enhance its resilience against such adversarial attacks. Experimental results show that conventional models experience substantial degradation in detecting such advanced attacks, achieving 17% accuracy under the evaluated adversarial attacks. In benchmarking, the proposed DRL framework against adversarial attacks generated through functions, such as FGSM and C&W. As a defensive strategy, the ConvLSTM trained with DRL-generated adversarial samples increases the model robustness against AI-driven threats in smart grids by improving its detection capabilities, achieving a 95.12% detection rate on adversarial samples. This work showcases adaptive anomaly detection methodologies and the implementation of AI-driven approaches to enhance cybersecurity in modern digital power systems.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"1298-1311"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11105704","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144891291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
