Single-phase grid-forming inverters are commonly used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems that feed single-phase critical loads in homes, data centers, and hospitals. With the increasing use of power electronics-interfaced loads, single-phase UPS inverters are being designed to exhibit characteristics such as low total harmonic distortion (THD) in output voltage, fast dynamic response, and strong robustness against large changes in load, to ensure a seamless operation of critical loads. The Lyapunov-function-based control strategy is a popular method to provide these characteristics in UPS inverters. However, most studies and designs related to Lyapunov-function-controlled single-phase UPS inverters are conducted by using detailed switching models. While detailed switching models accurately represent the true dynamics of power converters, simulating these models with nonlinear control schemes requires small time steps to produce accurate results. To address this limitation, we propose a new model of Lyapunov-function-based single-phase grid-forming inverter using the dynamic phasor (DP) method. The DP method transforms time-domain signals into slow-varying signals, enabling the use of larger time steps in simulations, which results in shorter simulation times. In the proposed DP model, the Lyapunov energy function is constructed in the DP domain using the dominant harmonics of the inverter output voltage and output current as state variables. The high accuracy and superior computational speed of the proposed DP model are validated through comparison with results obtained from a detailed model with natural-frame-based Lyapunov-function control. Experimental test results confirm the validity and high accuracy of the proposed DP-based method of modeling Lyapunov-function-controlled single-phase grid-forming inverter.

This article presents an analysis of selected characteristics of the modular multilevel matrix converter (M3C) operating a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) in a flywheel energy storage system. A detailed analysis of the necessary electrical input and output quantities, as well as the identification of required internal currents and voltages, leads to a newly introduced iterative design process for the converter. This process ultimately provides information on the required number of submodules and demonstrates the overload capability of the converter in reactive power operation. Also, the short-circuit current contribution of the system for this unique configuration of M3C and DFIG is investigated for the first time. Taking into account the unique operating characteristics of the M3C, a loss analysis of the converter and the machine is performed, and a loss-optimized distribution of reactive power between the machine and the converter is proposed. The article is conducted analytically and is validated by experimental results on a small-scale demonstrator.

Electromagnetic resonance in electric motors arises when the electromagnetic force frequency coincides with any of the motor's natural frequencies, causing excessive vibration and noise. To address this issue, it is crucial to design motors such that their natural frequencies do not closely align with the electromagnetic force frequency. However, vacuum cleaner motors operate across a broad range of speeds, generating a multitude of electromagnetic force frequencies, which makes it challenging to establish natural frequencies that can avoid all possible electromagnetic resonances. This article presents a novel approach for shifting natural frequencies by adjusting the stiffness of stator cores. By integrating an auxiliary component with various design factors into the motor, a range of natural frequencies can be achieved. An optimal natural frequency that mitigates electromagnetic resonance was identified among these modified frequencies, and the subsequent enhancement in acoustic characteristics was demonstrated.

The current industrial automation landscape faces considerable challenges due to the increasing growth of Industrial Internet of Things devices, cloud services, information technology (IT)/operational technology (OT) convergence, along with evolving hyperscaler technologies, such as Kubernetes and distributed computing. This article provides an in-depth review of the existing Instrumentation Society of America (ISA)-95 Model and its current role in supporting manufacturing systems and their interactions. Additionally, it examines how emerging technologies are impacting the security, design, and management of OT networks. As existing perimeter-based models, such as ISA-95, are pushed to their limits, the concepts of zero-trust architectures, and policy-based or software-defined networks are being explored as the next generation of OT network design. This article aims to provide a high-level introduction to the concepts and disruptive technologies, and introduce the potential implementation risks and challenges of these principles within traditional IT/OT converged solutions.

The electromagnetic utilization of an electrical machine can be increased by raising the current density, with a limitation resulting from the maximum permissible temperature of the winding insulation. Conventional insulating materials only have a low specific thermal conductivity, which results in large temperature gradients in the winding cross section and consequently hotspots. This article presents the development and characterization of ceramic-like composite materials based on filled polysiloxanes for the dip coating of lamination stacks and the impregnation of the winding of electrical machines. The specific equivalent thermal conductivity is determined on composite winding samples, the thermal cycle stability is examined and the microstructure is analyzed with the scanning electron microscope. The manufacturability and the partial discharge behavior are examined based on test samples. The results of tests on an electric traction machine are used to show the potential for increasing the power density.

The integration of offshore wind energy power system is a solution to reduce carbon emissions in the oil and gas sector. However, the intermittent profile of wind power generation can bring challenges of voltage/frequency fluctuations to the electrical grid of the platform. This article proposes a coordinated decentralized control used to mitigate voltage fluctuation in oil and gas platform caused by connection of wind power system through short- and long-umbilical cables. The proposed control is split into optimum loss control embedded in the wind power system control, and modified dynamic volt-var functions applied to active front-end variable frequency drives. The decentralized control is evaluated by means of simulation results considering a real case test bench of a typical Brazilian offshore platform with a wind power system of 10 and 50 MW, and umbilical cable of 12 and 150 km. The results indicate an effective contribution of the dynamic volt-var function in reducing voltage fluctuations for the three implemented wind power system configurations (i.e., 10; 50, and 50 MW/150 km).

This article addresses the new pulsed power load requirements for shipboard power systems introduced in the 2018 revision of the Military Standard 1399 Section 300, Part 1. With the number of pulsed loads increasing onboard modern ships, the ac distribution bus is susceptible to voltage and frequency abnormalities due to the limited inertia of the synchronous generators powering the ship. In this article, the strict limits imposed by the Military Standard 1399 are met with a system-level solution and a novel sizing method for the energy storage system (ESS). A targeted control system ensures that the power delivered by the ac bus has smooth transients, within the limits set by the military standard, thus reducing the stress on the shipboard power distribution system and the generators. A novel ESS sizing algorithm is proposed to identify the minimum number of supercapacitors for a given set of control parameters. The proposed control system is simulated and experimentally validated on a laboratory testbed built with silicon carbide (SiC) power converters managed by field programmable gate array (FPGA) control boards.

The increase in renewable-energy-based generations, such as photovoltaic and wind turbines, inevitably leads to an increase in the number and capacity of inverters connected to the power system. This also increases the voltage on the inverter-connected and adjacent buses. By absorbing reactive power appropriately, it can suppress excessive voltage and increase the potential capacity of real power. Currently, most inverters connected to the power grid are set up in a way that does not involve adjusting the voltage at the point of connection. This means that the inverter controller's limiter settings have not significantly impacted the system's stability after a fault. This article examines the impact of reactive power absorption on grid-connected inverters’ stability and limiter values’ effects on stability. Additionally, to set the limiter values for a convenient inverter controller, the causes of instability are explained in a phasor diagram, and a method for setting the limiter values using this information is explained. The stability impact analysis and limiter value setting are carried out through accurate EMT model-based simulations. The infinite bus with the equivalent impedance is used for the stability analysis and limiter values setting, and the determined values are verified on the real power system. The simulation is conducted using the power system computer-aided design and electromagnetic transient including dc.

Governments have recently been dedicating relevant funds to cope up with the inevitable transition to sustainable mobility aiming for a greener transportation sector. This scenario is backed up by the deteriorating global energy crisis, which is predicted to hasten the transition to sustainable energy. Focus has been given to railway systems being globally considered as a tractor project for promoting the use of green and renewable energy by helping build the required infrastructure. As a result, a high tendency for integrating onboard energy storage systems in trains is being observed worldwide. This article provides a detailed review of onboard railway systems with energy storage devices. In-service trains as well as relevant prototypes are presented, and their characteristics are analyzed. A comprehensive study of the traction system structure of these vehicles is introduced providing an overview of all the converter architectures used, categorized based on the type of onboard energy storage device on the train. The current situation of hydrogen fuel cells in railway systems is presented as well, highlighting consistent tendencies. This article also provides a glimpse into commercial battery and fuel cell products used on operating trains.
