The present study discusses a new structure of single layer magnetic gear (SL-MG) with Halbach array in external rotor, which is named single layer magnetic gear with Halbach array (HSL-MG). The key point in this design is using three segment Halbach array instead of the conventional permanent magnets in magnetic pole pairs of external rotor in single layer magnetic gear, and this leads to increasing the magnetic couple between wound stator and permanent magnets of external rotor. Electromagnetic function and FEM two dimensional analysis are done on both magnetic gears and these two magnetic gears of wound stator are compared with each other. The results show that the magnetic gear under study has a higher torque density than its conventional version; therefore, this kind of magnetic gear is more suitable for low-speed engines and high torque direct drive applications.

In this paper, the problem of starting an induction motor is investigated and a solution is presented. The large current and considerable torque pulsation of the starting can damage the motor and other consumers connected to the feed line, and increasing the startup time will cause more heat and damage to the winding insulators. Various methods exist for startup of the induction motor, including the stator voltage control via wye-delta circuit breaker, autotransformer, and new methods such as soft starter, as well as methods for controlling the rotor's resistance, and control of V/f. However, in this research, by connecting a torsion spring between the motor shaft and the load, a new method of startup has been proposed. Therefore, due to the delay in the rotation of the load during the absorption of energy in the torsion spring it is possible to rotate loads with a torque beyond the motor starting torque, and to reduce the motor startup time as much as 77%. These cases increase the lifetime of the motor, and reduce economic costs.

Due to some inevitable restrictions during fabrication of permanent magnet brushless (PMBL) motors, some of them have neither sinusoidal nor trapezoidal back-EMF voltages, that we name them as non-ideal PMBL motors. Employing conventional control strategies of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) and brushless DC motors (BLDCMs) leads to lower efficiency and performance and causes unwanted torque ripple, vibration and acoustic noises that in unfavourable for special applications. This paper investigates the torque response of non-ideal PMBL motor while is controlled with conventional control strategies and presents a novel torque ripple minimization method. Simulation results indicate the non-ideal PMBL motor by novel proposed method develops smoother torque and lower torque ripple rather than all mentioned control strategies.

Resolvers, as magnetic position sensors, are increasingly used in motion-control systems. Due to electro-magnetic structure, they preserve more accurate and reliable operation than optical encoders in stressful conditions. Usually, to evaluate the performance of a resolver, total harmonic distortion (THD) of output signals is calculated. In this study, by using analytical expressions, it is shown that THD of output signal is not a reliable indicator of the performance of a resolver.

In this paper, a physics-based analytical method is proposed in order to model the frequency behavior of laminated iron-core permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The proposed model consists of frequency-dependent lumped circuit parameters representing two parts; Iron-core and stator winding. These frequency-dependent components represent the skin effect and proximity effect in conductors and eddy-currents effect in the core. The total parasitic capacitance is considered to be frequency-independent and estimated from measured impedance characteristics of the PMSM. In order to verify the accuracy of the proposed model, we compared the equivalent AC resistance and AC inductance of one phase of a counter-rotating PMSM calculated from the proposed analytical method with the 3D finite element analysis (FEA) results. Finally, the Impedance characteristic of the test PMSM calculated using the proposed method is verified by the impedance measurement data, which shows a good agreement. The method proposed in this paper can be used for modeling various high-frequency issues in variable speed drives (VSDs) such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), common-mode bearing currents, and long-cable effects on motor terminals.

Extending multiple robot motion planning in unknown workspaces is a interesting scope in the Robot motion planning that in this paper is considered. It is used from radiation robots sensors in order to detect their surroundings and positions of the other robots. In this article a new approach considering two objectives is introduced. Finding safest path is as the first objective. The second objective is achieving a trajectory with minimum length. For finding the safest path, it is used from Voronoi Diagram (VD). To provide the safest path, minimizing the distance to the VS is as important criterion. Due to the VD is a geometric location with a distance from all obstacles to the workspace, therefore it is can be a suitable criteria for finding the safest path. For achieving the shortest path as the secondary objective, it is applied Euclidean distance the current position of the robot to goal position. Algorithm that applied for solving this problem is particle swarm optimization (PSO).

In recent years, increasing of the non-dispatchable resources has posed serious challenges to day-ahead generation scheduling of the power system. Since these resources are random in nature, the issue of flexibility to cover the uncertainty and variability of those has become an important research topic. Therefore, having flexible resources to cover changes in the generation of this resources during operation can play an important role in eliminating node imbalances, system reliability, providing the required flexible ramping reserve and reducing system operating costs. Among these flexible sources, we can mention fast-response dispatchable generation units such as gas units and combined cycle units. Therefore, in this paper, a mixed-integer two-stage and tri-level adaptive robust optimization has been used, which is solved by column-and-constraint generation decomposition-based algorithm in order to jointly clearing the energy and ramping reserve with the presence of fast response and flexible resources. The simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed model.

Magnetic hysteresis affects the performance of electromagnetic devices, e.g., motors, generators, and transformers. However, due to complex, non-linear, and multi-valued nature of this phenomenon, its accurate coupling to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of these devices has been always a challenging task. A novel approach has been presented in this paper for linking FEA to the Preisach model, which is known as the most accurate hysteresis model. An individual Preisach module has been considered for each field component of each element of the hysteresis material mesh. Hysteresis characteristics between each two successive time steps have been linearly approximated. An iterative algorithm has been proposed for obtaining field distributions along with parameters of these lines, simultaneously. The proposed method has been applied to a general magnetic circuit to predict its behavior over a given time span. Space distributions of flux density at some time steps, time variations of flux density and field intensity for one element, induced voltage, and hysteresis characteristics for some elements have been obtained. In contrast with most previous works, approach of this paper could reflect the details of hysteresis phenomenon, including minor loops, into the FEA. Also, it is applicable to problems with non-uniform and rotating field distributions.

Wind power as a renewable energy has the potential to become a clean energy source in almost all countries of the world but, there are lots of technical challenges that need to be addressed in advance. Wind speed variation (WSV) is one of the most important issues. Separate from its mechanical effects on wind turbines (WTs), it causes electrical power variations on WT as well. Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system have been helpful so far but some problems such as inertia still needed to be solved. Inertia in the WTs causes a delay on MPPT. This paper proposes a novel method to increase WTs output power in which a DFIG equipped with an energy storage system such as Ultra-capacitor helps MPPT system to track the wind variations rapidly by absorption or injection energy during the wind changes. The ultra-capacitor and control system are modeled and simulated in Matlab/Simulink® environment. The simulation results proofs that the proposed system can improve electrical power and increase electrical energy during WSVs. The simulation model will lead to more penetration of wind power and also enables engineers to optimize the system.

RTV silicone rubber offers excellent high and low temperature resistance as well as UV and weathering resistance and has a bright future in the aerospace and electronics industries. On the other hand, the thermal decomposition behavior of polymeric materials significantly affects their aging process and there are many studies on improving the specifications of nanocomposites by adding different types of nanoparticles. In this work, silicone rubber RTV nanocomposites with low content of modified nano-ZnO particles and pure RTV were compared in terms of their degradation behavior by heat and electrical stress. The coatings were prepared and the products were subjected to various experimental tests, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The TGA results of the study suggest that the residual weight of the aged samples is higher than that of the unaged samples. The FTIR analysis results show that the aging performance of Nano-RTV is better than that of RTV, which is concluded from the smaller absorption area of the functional groups of Si-CH3 and Si-O-Si. The numeric value of Critical flashover voltage in Nano-RTV coating was higher compared to the RTV coating as a result of the enhanced electrical insulation characteristics. This can confirm the improvement of thermal aging of Nano RTV compared to pure RTV and may prove useful to estimate the expected lifetime of the coatings, which is valuable for estimating the reliability of porcelain insulators

The increasing growth of the technology and industry of electric propulsion, and consequently the growth of the industry of electric energy storage systems, including batteries, have raised challenges such as optimizing the charging process and storage of electric energy. One of the important factors in optimizing the charging process is reducing the time interval. Hence, today, topologies such as fast charging and stations equipped with this topologies are expanding. Quick charging topologies reduce the length of the charging process by optimizing the electric charge circuit and optimizing the design of switching elements and its control system. This paper first examines the electric vehicle charging system in terms of the standards that classify the input voltage level as well as the technologies that increase the flexibility and efficiency of the electric vehicle charging system. Technologies such as unidirectional and bi-directional charging system, inductive and conductive charging system, integrated and non-integrated systems are presented and discussed in this article. In the second step, these systems are transformed into switching components and features such as the possibility of development with renewable energy production systems, the possibility of injecting power from the electric vehicle energy storage system into the power grid to provide part of the power required at peak demand and also The complexity and multiplicity of key elements have been examined and compared.

Nowadays, increasing energy efficiency is the economical and fastest way to generate electricity in the world. Therefore, the importance of energy saving has been considered for many years in Iran, but the allocation of subsidies to energy production sector has led to the lack of a logical and specific solution to reduce energy consumption and is still one of the main challenges in Iran's economy since paying insufficient attention to energy saving in all applications. Due to the climate of Iran, the use of evaporative coolers for cooling and air conditioning is very common in summer, but installed electromotors in these coolers are one of the high-consumption equipment in peak hours which the upgrade of them can have a significant impact on reducing the peak of energy consumption in the country. From this point of view, Brushless DC (BLDC) motors, as high-efficiency electromotor type, have been investigated for evaporative cooler application.In this paper, the technology development procedure of these BLDC motors for evaporative coolers in the country is presented and at the end, the results of production of this type of electromotors by seven domestic companies and their operation these coolers are presented.

The purpose of this paper is to present an Analytical Predict the Electromagnetic Field Density in surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors based on a subdomain field model. In this paper, which is one of a series of four, a 2-d analytical method for predicting field distribution in one SMPMSM is presented. In the presented method, Maxwell’s equations have been solved in different regions in pseudo-Cartesian coordinates system taking into account the non-homogeneous boundary conditions. The domain of the magnetic field is divided into four subdomains, viz. magnets, air gap, stator core and outer region. The governing equations and the boundary conditions to the interfaces between these subdomains are formulated in polar coordinate. The analytical prediction is validated by corresponding finite-element method. In future articles, we intend to study the effect of eccentricity on the distribution of magnetic fields in all areas of the motor at one slot less permanent magnet motor.

synchronous reluctance motors are among the most popular electric motors today, due to their relatively good features, but the important thing to consider about these motors is to calculate and estimate their rotor position, and failure to do so may cause damage in their control system. Therefore, many methods such as sensorless, hall-effect, GMR, encoder, etc. were used to compute and estimate the rotor position, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Besides, in many articles, the effect of positional error and the effect of this error on the control system and the method of dealing with this chronic problem are not analytically stated, and only this phenomenon has been studied in operation. Whereas, in this paper, firstly, a variety of conventional methods available for estimating and calculation the rotor position of synchronous reluctance motors briefly is introduced, and then investigated the effect of the error on the control system and at the end, the results of simulation and mathematical analyzes the impact of this error on the control system is presented.

An accurate estimation of battery model parameters is essential for dynamic simulation of electric vehicles. Generally, parameterizing battery models are difficult and complex. Therefore it requires powerful estimation algorithms to overcome time-consuming and computational costs. In this paper, the dynamic parameters of a battery model were estimated at 8 different temperatures and under the hysteresis effect. The estimation is based on a hybrid algorithm of particle swarm optimization and grey wolf optimizer. By this hybridization the ability of exploitation in particle swarm optimization and the ability of exploration in grey wolf optimizer improved and both variants were empowered. The algorithm was implemented to estimate parameter values by minimizing the error between experimental data and the predicted results to find an optimal solution for an accurate model. Following a comparison with G.Plett’s, the results indicated that the proposed algorithm can reach higher precision in the battery behavior because of the lower error possibility.

Abstract—The starting-up strategy is an important issue for voltage source convert-high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) system. If a VSC-HVDC system starts up without any auxiliary system or improved control system, overvoltage and inrush current will occur. This large overvoltage can cause serious damage on the DC capacitors and this large inrush current at turn-on may destroy the switches in converter. Starting-up VSC-HVDC has two steps. In this paper, starting-up steps in a three-phase two-level VSC-HVDC system is studied with details. The effect of capacitor and inductor sizes and also circuit breaker closing time on overvoltage and inrush current in first step are investigated attentively. Possible methods for control overvoltage and inrush currents during this step are presented, and a comparison has been made between them in terms of power dissipation and cost. Eventually, the best auxiliary starting-up system is selected in terms of costs. In addition, the second step of starting-up is also examined and the circuit performance for increasing the DC link voltage is described in this step. Also, a simple control method is proposed for controlling the inrush current in second step. This method controls the inrush current without imposing additional costs and losses on the system. Substantial simulations conducted on PSCAD/EMTDC platform. It is worth mentioning this paper is an extended version of the paper accepted at the 34th Power System Conference (PSC 2019).

The goal of this paper is to achieve sustainable development. The most important way to achieve sustainable development is increasing the penetration rate of distributed energy resources (DER). A novel approach is presented in this paper for DER expansion planning problem considering multifarious support schemes. The intermittent nature as well as different uncertainties which are associated with the DER resources would cause investors to encounter risk in their investment decisions. Therefore, considering the supporting policies for increasing the penetration rate of DERs are known as an inevitable issue. The supporting policies for each of DERs technologies have remarkable impacts on investment strategy of other rivals. Under this condition, the system dynamics approach is employed in this paper for modelling of this multidimensional complex problem. System dynamics approach is known as an appropriate method for simulating the dynamics of power system and studying the effects of various factors on each other. Here, the supporting policies are contemplated in combined heat and power, wind turbine, PV and demand response resources. By using this method, the impacts of regulatory policies on market dynamics are modelled, which effect on market dynamics and investment policies of resource owners. Also, the robustness of achieving to sustainable development could be evaluated.

Traditionally, power system planning problem focuses on finding the least-cost generation resources including typical conventional fossil fuel based units without paying attention to a complete set of available generation portfolio alternatives. The predominant share of conventional fossil fuel units in power generation sector has increased concerns on climate changes, energy security, and price volatility . Having these challenges in mind, many power systems have started changing their generation portfolio including significant amounts of renewable energy resources toward a sustainable energy development.This paper presents a comprehensive approach for Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) problem in the presence of Distributed Energy Resources (DER). Different support schemes for DER investors are considered and their impacts on sustainable development are modeled. Regarding this matter, several indicators are presented for evaluating different aspects of sustainable development achievements. Moreover, a decision making framework is proposed using a combined fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The effectiveness of the proposed framework is assessed by a numerical study on a test system.

In this paper, two different structures of a multiphase inverter for controlling a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor are presented and compared parameters. These two structures are in fault mode. In the first structure, each phase of the BLDC motor is fed from an individual H-Bridge inverter, which is controlled by a Proportional-Resonance (PR) controller. The system dealt with in this paper is designed especially for reliability-critical applications. In other words, the motor structure has to be implemented not to compromise the drive performance even in fault conditions. For these purposes, modular designs to minimize the coupling between each phase. in the second structure, a typical six-legged inverter is used, which is divided into two groups of three phases with double Y-connected windings displaced by 30 degrees is presented and switching is done using Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM). According to the model, the use of SVPWM modulation for a six-phase motor reduces computations. MATLAB/Simulink software has been used to analyze these two structures and the results of its simulations are given.

With the growth of wind power energy’s importance throughout the world, losses caused by lightning strike to off-shore wind turbines are taken into consideration more than ever due to massive costs of installation and maintenance of the wind turbines. In this study, a new method for analyzing overcurrent created by a lightning strike to the turbines body and the distribution of magnetic and electrical fields around the wind turbine’s tower is presented for two different cases of the tower with one leg, and the other case tower with three legs, using FEKO and MATLAB software. In the major part of the simulation, which is done by the comprehensive electromagnetic simulator software for analyzing magnetic and electrical fields of 3D structures called FEKO, various environmental conditions are applied and the outputs are compared on different diagrams including current, electrical fields, and magnetic fields in various environmental conditions. The results of simulations indicate that with the decrease of ground’s resistivity, the peak of magnetic and electrical fields will decrease too which can be achieved by different methods and as a result of that, the losses caused by lightning strike to the turbine decreases
