The proposed method relies on the principle of master-slave communication based on the controller area network bus protocol. The master unit is responsible for generating current reference signal and for sharing it with the slaves, while the slave units are solely responsible for generating the power based on the received reference set points. The master can be selected and changed automatically based on a negotiation algorithm among the connected rectifiers. Then, if a communication fault occurs in the master, another master is chosen by the slaves. On the other hand, slaves’ communication faults are tolerated by switching to communication-less mode of operation with online estimation of the current reference signal instead of receiving it over the communication network. The proposed algorithms are validated by simulation and experimentally on a prototype with three parallel AFRs.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"709-719"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10360205","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139050615","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}

Its novel low-complexity pumping concept requires a compact linear–rotary actuator (LiRA). The linear actuator (LA) part was designed, realized, and experimentally verified in previous work, and it can provide a peak axial force of about 45 N with about 8 W of continuous power dissipation. This article presents the details of the rotary actuator (RA) part. This has considerably lower output power requirements (about 100 mW) due to the low operating torque and angular speed (3.1 mN\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$cdot$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000m and up to 300 r/min, respectively). However, the RA is highly constrained spatially, as it needs to be integrated very close to the previously realized LA. This forces a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) design with a rotor only partially equipped with permanent magnets and stators covering only half of the total circumference, which introduces a considerable cogging component to the total torque. The proposed PMSM is, hence, optimized using finite-element method simulations to select a final design with low power losses and low cogging-induced angular speed ripple. The machine is realized as a hardware prototype, and the experimental measurements confirm that the proposed RA can meet the continuous torque requirement with 324 mW of power losses. The successful implementation of the RA (and LA) finally verifies the practical feasibility of the integrated LiRA and provides the basis for a comprehensive test of the complete \u0000<italic>ShuttlePump</i>\u0000 in a hydraulic test rig in the course of further research.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"732-747"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10345753","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139434704","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}

With a circumference of over 80 km, the FCC requires a reliable and efficient power transmission network to operate smoothly. The available power options for the FCC include a high-voltage dc transmission and radio frequency powering networks based on HVdc converters, such as the modular multilevel power converters or the 12-pulse thyristor rectifiers, each providing several benefits in power transmission efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, the converter selection, its control, and the protection aspects must be carefully designed to meet the unique requirements of the installation. This article examines different dc powering scenarios for the FCC and proposes a control and protection scheme compatible with the accelerator's operation mode. This approach ensures that the power system meets the FCC's specific needs and operates safely and effectively.

The increasing demand for enhanced cost-effectiveness and production efficiency has driven automation manufacturers to integrate PLC-based applications and systems with external networks, such as Internet. Unfortunately, this connectivity has exposed systems to potential malicious attacks from motivated adversaries. Addressing this pressing issue necessitates a comprehensive summary of ongoing research related to PLCs and their related systems. This summary should classify these systems based on disclosed vulnerabilities, potential threats, and proposed security solutions, catering to both scientists and industrial engineers. While several recent surveys have reviewed and discussed PLC security and related topics, they often fell short of covering all essential aspects comprehensively. Furthermore, prior surveys tended to focus on analyzing vulnerabilities at the system level, overlooking the vulnerabilities specific to PLCs themselves. Consequently, their findings failed to effectively secure current operational systems or propose improved solutions for future PLC designs. In this article, we bridge this research gap by providing a detailed review of all aspects concerning the security of PLCs and related systems. This includes vulnerabilities, potential attacks, and security solutions including digital forensics. We aim to offer a precise analysis, addressing the shortcomings of previous studies. Finally, we conclude this article by presenting our recommendations tailored for PLC manufacturers, researchers, and engineers.

Machine learning (ML) can radically transform cyber security in SGs and secure protocols as in IEC 60870 standard, an international standard for electric power system communication. Notwithstanding, cyber adversaries are now exploiting ML-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) using adversarial ML attacks, potentially undermining SG security. This article addresses cyber attacks on the communication network of SGs, specifically targeting the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. We introduce a novel ML-based IDS framework for the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. Specifically, we employ an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze a new and realistically representative dataset of IEC 60870-5-104 traffic data, unlike previous research that relies on simulated or unrelated data. This approach assists in identifying anomalies indicative of cyber attacks more accurately. Furthermore, we evaluate the resilience of our ANN model against adversarial attacks, including the fast gradient sign method, projected gradient descent, and Carlini and Wagner attacks. Our results demonstrate that the proposed framework can accurately detect cyber attacks and remains robust to adversarial attacks. This offers efficient and resilient IDS capabilities to detect and mitigate cyber attacks in real-world ML-based adversarial environments.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"629-642"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10328057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138633880","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}

To utilize the electrical drive to its maximum extent during transient and steady-state operation, a time-optimal continuous-control-set model predictive flux control (CCS-MPFC) for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) is proposed. This scheme considers torque and current limits as softened state constraints in the CCS-MPFC's optimization problem to prevent transient overcurrents as well as torque over- and undershoots during time-optimal operating point changes. Furthermore, the overmodulation range including six-step operation can be entered seamlessly to ensure maximum power conversion at high speeds. Fastest transients within the whole modulation range are enabled by a time-optimal harmonic reference generator. Here, the flux reference of the CCS-MPFC is complemented with a harmonic content that enables operation in the overmodulation region. Further, the reference is prerotated during transient operation to attain time-optimal control performance. Extensive simulative as well as experimental investigations for linearly and nonlinearly magnetized PMSMs show that, compared with state-of-the-art methods, time-optimal control performance in the whole modulation range without transient overcurrents as well as torque over- and undershoots can be achieved by the proposed control method.","PeriodicalId":52675,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"4 ","pages":"643-658"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10324345","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138822193","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}
