A hierarchical control strategy is proposed, comprising a fuzzy rule-based controller, a two-degree-of-freedom fractional-order PI controller, and a proportional resonant controller. The bolstering of frequency stabilization is achieved by the integration of aggregated electric vehicle storage into the IMG. Adaptive tuning of the fuzzy rule-based load frequency controller's parameters is facilitated by a novel quasi-oppositional prairie dog technique (QOPDT), developed within this study. A comprehensive comparison is conducted between the efficacy of the QOPDT technique and various other optimization methods. Significant improvements in system frequency stability across diverse scenarios are observed with the adoption of the QOPDT-based controller, as evidenced by qualitative assessment. Furthermore, the investigation extends to consider the impact of time-varying delay on the integrated electric vehicle system, broadening the scope of the investigation. Validation of the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed control framework is undertaken utilizing the real-time OPAL-RT 5700 testbed platform.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"704-721"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10585315","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141549335","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}

A key performance index of voltage clamping circuits is the overvoltage ratio, which calculates the peak switching overvoltage over the nominal voltage during fault interruption processes. A lower overvoltage ratio is beneficial to minimize the dcCB insulation voltage and reduce the total breaker cost, meanwhile alleviating the overvoltage interference to the dc bus and, thus, enhancing the stability of the dc power system. This article evaluates the overvoltage ratio of various clamping circuits reported in dcCB literature. The basic working principles, switching overvoltage magnitude, advantages, and limitations of different voltage clamping circuits are evaluated by circuit simulations. A capacitor-metal–oxide varistor (C-MOV) circuit is selected for experimental validation considering its specifically low overvoltage ratio. The C-MOV prototype is verified with high-power tests at 1 kV dc bus. The measured overvoltage ratio of the C-MOV prototype matches parametric analyses. The effects of stray inductance and fault rise rate on the overvoltage ratio are also experimentally validated. Finally, the C-MOV circuit is compared with other voltage clamping circuits in the literature to demonstrate its benefits and limitations in dcCB applications.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"651-662"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10577240","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141500731","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}

Regarding teleoperation, command generation involves a leader robot with a few degrees of freedom in a bounded workspace, accompanied by a redundant follower robot operating in an unbounded workspace. This article introduces the concept of Cartesian/articular control for delayed bilateral teleoperation of a mobile manipulator, where the follower robot aims to execute the rate/nonlinear-position commands issued by a human handling the leader robot through a proposed hybrid mapping. We implement a P+d controller applied in Cartesian space for the leader while a controller based on inverse kinematics in joint space is employed for the follower, taking advantage of its redundancy. We then propose a Lyapunov–Krasovskii candidate function to analyze theoretically and numerically the time derivative of the functional on the system trajectories. As a result, we derive the conditions that the proposed hybrid mapping and controller parameters must satisfy to ensure bounded errors. Finally, we statistically evaluated objective metrics from multiple pick-and-place task executions considering time delays to quantify the performance achieved.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"663-681"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10572222","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141500734","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 required number of components significantly increases when higher modularity is introduced for the given voltage level, thus reducing the system's reliability. This article suggests a mixed redundancy strategy (MRS) that combines the operational concepts using active and spare redundant submodules. It is shown that more than 50% higher B10 lifetime (the point in time when the system has a 90% probability of survival) is achievable as compared to reliability improvement using fixed-level active redundancy strategy, load-sharing active redundancy strategy, and standby redundancy strategy with the same number of redundant submodules. The tradeoff between operational efficiency and investment cost is explored to define the boundary for selecting the MRS over other redundancy strategies with varying dc-link voltages and average converter loading, considering a ten-year payback period and equivalent B10 lifetime. The change in viability boundary for the MRS is established with increasing B10 lifetime and its sensitivity to power electronic component costs and assumed failure rate. The effect of power capacity with a higher switch current rating is evaluated. Also, the Monte Carlo simulation methodology is proposed to evaluate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed MRS scheme.

The deep learning techniques that automatically extract features and perform classification have algorithmic complexity. In this work, the authors address these challenges by: 1) selecting and ensembling optimal time-domain features that are capable of identifying motor faults using current signals of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in bearing; and 2) investigating the feature ensemble constituting optimal features for robust fault diagnosis in the PMSM bearing as well as the stator and bearing of squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM) for various conditions. The optimal features mean absolute value, simple sign integral, and waveform length yields 99.8% and 100% for bearing fault and stator fault diagnosis, respectively, in PMSM.

Recent publications typically utilize low-dimensional lumped-parameter thermal networks. This article presents a modeling method for a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM), where the thermal model is derived using the finite-volume method. The model is calibrated with measurement data. A model-order reduction method is applied, which significantly reduces the computational costs of the model while preserving important (uncertain) parameters, such as heat transfer coefficients. Experimental results for different load cycles of the considered machine validate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed model.
