This article addresses the challenge of dynamic scheduling and workload distribution in multiautomated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, where tasks include both movement (e.g., navigation, loading and unloading) and data processing (e.g., onboard computation). To capture realistic conditions, a dynamic service request model is adopted, in which each request consists of a set of movement and/or data processing operations. We first present a mathematical formulation to formally define the constraints associated with resource assignment and movement operations. Building on this, we propose a novel heuristic, queue-aware scheduling and deadlock mitigation strategy (QASDMS), for assigning operations to AGVs. QASDMS considers factors, such as AGV locations, resource availability, execution queues, and potential deadlocks, while supporting the arrival of dynamic unpredictable requests. The objective is to minimize the total time required to complete the operations described in the service requests. To evaluate system performance, the resource intensity index (RII) is introduced, which measures CPU and RAM usage relative to the number of completed operations. Simulation results in both medium and large-scale scenarios show that QASDMS improves the total number of completed operations by over 190% compared to a baseline case, while keeping CPU and RAM usage below 21% . Furthermore, QASDMS achieves significantly lower RII values (over 60% reduction), indicating more efficient resource utilization. These results highlight the potential of QASDMS to improve performance in multi-AGV extreme-edge environments.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"1312-1334"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11098675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918164","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}

The performance of MPC strongly depends on the precision of the converter’s physical parameters, and a mismatch of them produces a control degradation, which leads to MPC suboptimal operation. Ensuring a precise estimation of the converter’s parameters is difficult because they continuously change during the operation process due to their operating point and aging. Recently, model-free predictive control (MF-PC) has been used in motor drives and power electronics converters, especially inverters and rectifiers, to deal with the predictive control method’s dependency model. However, MF-PC proposed for dc–dc converters is an open innovation scientific field. This article proposes an MF-PC designed for second-order dc–dc converters, such as the boost, buck, buck–boost, and noninverting buck–boost converters. The presented approach uses a Kalman filter to estimate the positive and negative inductor current slopes with high accuracy and a low computational cost. The experimental results show that the proposed method is robust against parameter and model changes compared to conventional model-based solutions.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"1175-1187"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11096584","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852701","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}

The proposed topology achieves a voltage gain factor of two without requiring an additional dc–dc boost converter or transformer, resulting in a more compact, cost-effective, and efficient design. A single SC cell is utilized to perform bidirectional capacitor charging during both positive and negative grid half cycles, thereby improving energy transfer efficiency and significantly reducing capacitor size and volume compared with the conventional topologies. The inverter employs a minimal number of components—only nine switches and one flying capacitor—while maintaining high performance. Only five switches operate at high frequency, which reduces switching losses, gate driver complexity, and electromagnetic interference. A straightforward control strategy ensures that the inverter delivers a high-quality sinusoidal current waveform to the grid and supports both active and reactive-power flow under various power factor conditions. The reliability of the proposed inverter is analyzed, and its performance is validated through detailed simulations and experimental results. A comparative study with the existing solutions highlights the advantages of the proposed topology in terms of efficiency, voltage gain, component count, and waveform quality.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"1188-1209"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11086518","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144880459","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}

The controller is designed to impose specific dynamic behaviors and performance criteria, addressing the sensitivity of MRASF dynamics to slip speed. To achieve this, a full-order transfer function of the MRASF is employed to systematically derive the PID parameters using compensation and pole placement techniques. The proposed control strategy ensures that the estimated rotor speed closely follows the desired performance across various operating conditions. The effectiveness of the MRASF–PID design is validated through both simulation and experimental testing under open-loop voltage/frequency control of the induction machine, confirming the successful realization of the targeted dynamic and steady-state performance.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"1090-1100"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11074712","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144687649","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}

Mismatches are not only due to partial shading, but also to modules’ construction tolerances and installation mistakes, to maintenance operations, to a different effect of aging on modules, to an uneven distribution of dust, pollution, and snow on the module surfaces. The simulation of photovoltaic arrays operating in mismatched conditions is required in many applications, from plant design to model-based control, from monitoring and diagnosis up to the implementation of a digital twin. Some applications require not only an extreme granularity level (even at the single cell or fractions of it) but also a very fast computation compatible with real-time applications, running on embedded processors. This article introduces a new approach to the simulation of mismatched photovoltaic arrays based on isomorphism. The approach exploits similarities among subsections of the array to minimize the number of nonlinear equations modeling it. The lower the simulation accuracy required, the smaller the rank of the system of equations to solve. The application examples proposed in the article, concerning a PV array affected by a partial shading by nearby objects that changes during the day and a faulty PV field made up of half-cut modules, allow one to quantify the reduction in model complexity and the consequent computation time granted by the proposed technique as a function of the desired accuracy of the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"1075-1089"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11068156","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144687650","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}
