Direct torque control (DTC) scheme is one of the most appropriate methods to control of AC machines. This method has positive features such as fast response, simple structure and low dependence on motor parameters. However, the main problems in classic DTC method are variation of switching frequency and high ripple of flux and torque. These problems are approximately solved in the literature using advanced controllers and space vector modulation. Nevertheless, this paper presents a new DTC method using space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) in three-level cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converter, which has less switching losses than the conventional SVM (CSVM) methods. The proposed method uses switching sequences according to the reference voltage modulation index, which reduces the number of switching commutation and switching losses. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is presented through simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

This study introduces an efficient deep neural network based bearing fault detection of induction motors. An approach to accelerate and compress convolutional neural networks (CNN) is the basis of the proposed method. As the main advantages, the proposed algorithm is 1) directly applicable to raw data, 2) highly accurate, 3) non-time consuming, 4) applicable to different types of electric machines, 5) merges feature extraction and detection into a single machine learning, and 6) reduces computational burden of conventional CNN. To address and verify the proposed method, the experimental dataset of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) bearing data center is used. The results show the impressive capability of the proposed CNN method high precision fault detection, comparing with conventional CNN as deep-based structure method and support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), and learning vector quantization (LVQ) as shallow-based structure methods.

The main contribution of this research is to present a modular hybrid reluctance motor (MHRM) for high-torque drive systems. The main sizes and parameters of the structure are presented. To obtain the main characteristics of the suggested HRM, a two dimensional finite element method (FEM) is used. The flux distributions at the alignment and unalignment of the rotor, flux linkage, and magneto-static torque profiles of the proposed topology are provided. In addition, the magnetic circuit model (MCM) of the introduced motor is derived, the reluctances of the machine are calculated, and the static features of the motor are attained from the MCM are compared with those of the FEM. The results are indicative of the fact that there is an acceptable discrepancy between the results of the FEM and MCM. Finally, it is shown that the HRM produces higher torque than the conventional SRM.

Since the utilization of nonlinear loads such as power electronic converters have been increased and also because of the wide range of their usage and the creation of harmful harmonics, active and passive filters must be used to eliminate the effect of harmonics. In this paper, passive filters have been utilized because of fewer cost in terms of installation, maintenance and repair compared with active filters. The purpose of the current study is to find the optimal location of single-tuned passive filter and detect the size of its elements in distribution networks by a multi-objective approach. The objective functions include the reduction of network losses, initial investment cost and the improvement of the frequency response on critical buses. In this problem limitations such as buses voltage profile and harmonic distortion of the network are considered. To assess the proposed procedure, 33-bus IEEE test distribution network is used. As results the amount of network losses, buses profile voltage, and the network harmonic distortion are evaluated before and after the filtering and the accuracy of the method is evaluated too.

This paper presents a novel modular-stator linear switched reluctance motor (MSLSRM) for elevator applications. The topology and its operating principle is illustrated and the magnetic equivalent circuit is derived for the aligned position. To attain the electromagnetic features of the motor, two dimensional and three dimensional finite element methods are employed. The static inductance and force profiles are obtained and the flux density distributions are given. Also, the dynamic operation of the introduced motor is performed. To demonstrate the positive sides of the suggested motor, a fair comparative study is done. To this end, two linear motors are considered and the static performance and dynamic waveforms of the three motors are compared. It is illustrated that the new motor has higher mean force and lower force ripple in comparison with the considered SRMs.

Cascaded multilevel inverters are usually used in a medium-voltage output. Hence, this converter has been declared as a vital substitute in the average-voltage inverter. In this article a novel structure for cascaded multilevel inverters have been proposed. Also, five algorithms are suggested to determine the amount of resources which are used in the new structure. The suggested topology has a number of benefits, including reducing the quantity of IGBTs and switches and required fee and installation area. Another benefit of the suggested structure is lower variety of the values of dc voltage sources in comparison with conventional structures. In this paper, the ability of proposed topology to produce all voltage levels with the result of the simulation is given to a17-level inverter.

On-road dynamic charging of electric vehicles with distributed generation (DG) sources has emerged recently as a cost-saving means for modern transportation. The resonant converter as a common WPT topology is not a suitable choice here due to several deficiencies. In this paper, a novel low-frequency multi-objective WPT topology, based on loosely coupled flayback converter with the compatible energy recovery circuit is proposed against the restriction of resonant converter. In this system, an input DG source (photovoltaic (PV)) produces its maximum possible power to supply the EV according to the MPPT algorithm. The remaining energy is stored in the back-up battery during each switching interval and can be injected to the EV drive train, whenever the PV power is not in access. Extensive simulation results using MATLAB-Simulink is presented to validate the proposed WPT topology and its multi-stage control system.

This converter has one switch and a low number of elements in its topology. Moreover, the proposed converter can achieve high conversion ratios showing the low voltage stress for its semiconductors and capacitors. In this paper, the analysis of the steady-state and related equations are given. Finally, the simulation results are given to validate the theoretical analysis.

The LLC resonant converter, as a promising solution for battery charger applications, has the ability to adjust its output voltage during Constant Current and Constant Voltage modes in the charging profile. However, its operation mode changes as switching frequency changes. Therefore, for efficiency-oriented optimizations in battery charger applications, the one-pointed efficiency is not an appropriate objective. To this end, in this paper, a multi-pointed averaged efficiency is considered for optimization along with the transformer volume. Another factor of a proper design for a wide output range LLC is the converter peak voltage gain that is calculated based on an accurate method. The efficiency calculations are carried out by using time-domain-based analysis for every operation points. Regarding dead-time, a worst case is realized during the charging profile. At last, a 500W 400V:48V battery charger is designed with this procedure, and verified by simulation.

Multilevel Inverters (MIs) have great applications These days as one of best answer for medium and high power usages. The Five-Level Active-Neutral-Point-Clamped Inverter (FANPCI) merges the specifications of the typical flying-capacitor type and Neutral-Point-Clamped type inverter and was commercially used for industrial applications. In this paper, a new five-level five active switches and four diodes has been proposed, which employs only five active switches and four discrete diodes to produce all the five levels. Also, the modulation technique applied for the five-level five-switch NPC inverter has been discussed. Finally, a 4KVA single-phase prototype has simulated by using the PSPICE software to check the feasibility of the presented structure and control strategy.
