Effective condition monitoring (CM) of these capacitors is crucial for improving converter reliability and preventing catastrophic failures. This article presents a cost-effective and reliable methodology for evaluating the health state of film capacitors used as dc-link in traction inverters. The proposed approach uses a controlled discharge test to track capacitance variations over time, which can be used as an indirect indicator of the capacitor’s health state. Key advantages of this technique include the minimal additional component requirements for cost efficiency, strong noise immunity, and high precision. Furthermore, the proposed aging detection test can be fully automated without requiring the removal of the capacitor or modifications to the converter’s power stage.

The three-phase interleaving topology is considered for three different converters: an interleaving boost converter, an interleaving four-switch single-inductor buck–boost converter, and an interleaving buck converter. MPPT and droop-based control are recommended for maximum power extraction from the PV system and regulation of the dc-bus voltage. A cascaded hybrid nonlinear controller is developed for current and voltage control, merging the advantages of both linear and nonlinear control theory. The design ensures an uninterrupted power supply to the electrolyzer for hydrogen production. The algorithm is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and validated through rapid control prototyping using a TI C2000 microcontroller unit (MCU) and a Typhoon 404 device for real-time results. Moreover, a comparative analysis with other state-of-the-art control structures is also presented to show the efficiency of the proposed controller. The simulation results, comparative analysis, and hardware results under different conditions confirm the adaptability of the proposed control algorithms for real applications.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"6 ","pages":"836-851"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11266901","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145674671","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}

However, ADMM significant drawback is absence of guaranteed convergence. Considering OPF interactions resulting from the unstable voltage relationship among energy storage system-photovoltaic (ESS-PV) inverters, a steady state voltage security area is established for these inverters. To assess the voltage security margin between the operational state and the security boundary, a voltage excursion indicator is proposed for processing OPF within the local area. The proposed approach enables a fully guaranteed convergence and optimized power flow within a decentralized distributed energy management framework, systematically via multiblock ADMM handling of large-scale and distributed data via energy internet. This approach guaranteed convergence of OPF via local consensus control by distributed ESS-PV systems with energy internet via all-to-all communication between centralized energy managers and inverters.

Tolbert;João Onofre Pereira Pinto","doi":"10.1109/OJIA.2025.3627886","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/OJIA.2025.3627886","url":null,"abstract":"This work presents an analysis of the reduction in energy generation of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems due to their compliance with the IEEE 1547 voltage–reactive power mode control, also known as volt-var, exposing the linkage of this phenomenon with factors such as the strength of the feeder, loading conditions, and the distributed generation penetration. In this study, two batches of three sequences of full-year simulations were conducted using the open-source software OpenDSS in co-simulation with MATLAB, involving three different feeders with and without tap changers activated over different penetration levels of PVs. In order to adequately simulate the time series of annual solar irradiance, a model of solar transposition and a methodology for the choice of the solar panels' tilt angle were adopted in conjunction with a solar radiation dataset obtained from the National Solar Research Database. One notable finding is that for a given feeder, there is an optimal penetration percentage at which the required relative curtailment is minimized. Below this condition, the loss of generation opportunity is mostly caused by the feeder's own voltage regulation issues (i.e., those that happen without PVs), while above it, loss of generation is mostly caused by reverse power flow. It was observed that weak feeders tend to have higher levels of curtailment under both low and high penetration percentages, while strong feeders may share the same conclusion for low levels only. Seasonal variation of available solar irradiation has a measurable influence on the curtailment. Fixed capacitor banks significantly reduce the generation curtailment due to voltage support compliance from the PV inverters when their penetration level is low, while the expected curtailment for high levels of penetration is much lower than anticipated. Although tap changers are capable of reducing the effort demanded from most of the distributed generation inverters, in some cases, they can also increase the effort from others located in specific regions outside of their effective sections. This study makes three main contributions: 1) it integrates IEEE 1547 compliance, feeder loading/strength, distributed energy resource (DER) penetration, and real irradiance models into a long-term simulation framework; 2) it provides practical insights that can support standard setting, distribution system planning, and inverter programming; and 3) it enables the estimation of hosting capacity based on the maximum curtailment tolerable for consumer-owned DERs, thereby supporting technical and economic investment analyses.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"7 ","pages":"48-64"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11223786","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145929493","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}

Long-distance transmission lines traverse various complex terrains, potentially crossing regions in China with altitudes ranging from 0 to 4800 m. In this context, this article focuses on studying the corona inception characteristics of large transmission line fittings at different altitudes. First, the corona characteristics of transmission line fittings at altitudes of 60 and 4350 m are examined. The study obtained corona inception electric field characteristics for fittings with different type and size. In addition, to understand the corona inception characteristics of fittings at intermediate altitudes, simulated altitude tests were conducted in an artificial climate laboratory. Based on these experimental results, this study provides recommended fitting parameters for transmission lines at various altitudes. Furthermore, considering that transmission towers, especially tension towers with special conductor structures, may exhibit increased corona characteristics due to conductor bending, the impact of jump lines on corona discharge characteristics in high altitude areas was also investigated. The series of conductor parameters obtained will benefit the construction of transmission lines in various regions globally.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"6 ","pages":"799-808"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11223115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145560625","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}

Venkatramanan;Marco Di Benedetto;Alessandro Lidozzi","doi":"10.1109/OJIA.2025.3623932","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/OJIA.2025.3623932","url":null,"abstract":"Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverters are well-suited for medium-voltage charging stations because of their inherent modularity, scalability, and efficient voltage conversion capability. However, conventional level-shifted PWM (LSPWM) schemes often lead to uneven distribution of active and reactive power among individual modules. This imbalance produces nonuniform semiconductor losses, increases thermal stress, and accelerates premature failures in overstressed modules. Alternative methods, such as space-vector modulation and switching-angle adjustment, can mitigate these issues, but their computational complexity becomes prohibitive for higher-level CHB topologies. Carrier-reassignment PWM strategies, including First-In-First-Out (FIFO), provide simpler implementations but still fail to achieve complete power and loss balancing. This article contributes to the state-of-the-art in two key ways. First, it extends carrier-reassignment PWM, previously demonstrated only for 9-level CHBs, to a 17-level CHB inverter, introducing two new reassignment strategies: Type-A and Type-B. The Type-A scheme enables highly uniform real-power sharing under a unity power factor (PF). At the same time, the Type-B approach achieves balanced loss distribution across the full PF range and effectively eliminates circulating power at zero PF, surpassing existing rotation-based methods. Second, the article proposes a comprehensive validation framework that integrates analytical loss modeling of CoolSiC™ devices with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiments, employing an OP4510 digital simulator and a PED-Board controller. Experimental results confirm that the proposed schemes substantially enhance both power and loss distribution, while also reducing current total harmonic distortion compared to conventional approaches. Overall, the proposed methods provide a practical pathway toward more reliable and efficient CHB converters for electric vehicle charging and medium-voltage applications.","PeriodicalId":100629,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications","volume":"6 ","pages":"742-757"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11214360","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145510242","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}
