The paper presents a feasible model of architecture for the technical building systems (TBS) particularly suitable for Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs). NZEBs are buildings where the energetic consumption are optimized by means of solutions that drastically reduce both electric and thermal demand, while residual required energy has to be provided by local renewable generation. The suggested model aggregates the users around an electric node in a common microgrid in order to reach up the threshold value of electric power and to get a more virtuous and flexible cumulative load profile. The building (or a group of buildings) represents the natural limit of the aggregation of the electric systems, like in the heating systems. Present proposal is a full electric smart micro grid with heating and domestic hot water generated by a centralized electric heat pump system. The renewable energy is provided by a photovoltaic field. The authors suggest to control the whole electric demand of the building by exploiting its thermal inertia as an energy storage by forcing both local and central set points of heating and air conditioning systems and time shifting opportunities of smart appliances. A case study is presented.

Design optimization of circular power pads for inductive power transfer (IPT) systems with applications in electric vehicle battery charger is proposed. A multi-objective optimization coupled with 2D finite element analysis (FEA) is used to find the Pareto-optimal solutions for circular magnetic structures considering different objective functions, such as power transfer efficiency, material cost, and horizontal misalignment tolerance of the IPT system. 2D FEA is used to calculate self and mutual inductances between primary and secondary pads, ohmic loss in coils, core loss in ferrites, stray loss in aluminum shields and electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions of the system. Practical limitations of the power electronic converters such as frequency, VA rating, operating quality factor, and EMF emissions are all considered in the proposed optimization. A 10 kW electric vehicle battery charger IPT system with circular power pads is investigated as the case study and Pareto-optimal solutions for this system are presented. Experimental test results on one of the Pareto-optimal solutions are in good agreement with the calculations using the proposed method. The proposed design optimization method provides a tool for finding highly efficient, flexible and cost-effective solutions for contactless electric vehicle battery charger.

This paper introduces a nonlinear control scheme based on the differential flatness approach for controlling the speed/torque of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. The differential flatness estimation is a model based approach. Then, two state-observers are proposed to estimate a load torque disturbance and a stator resistance (represent losses in an inverter and PMSM) by means of its voltage drop. It can help to improve the PMSM drive system and the efficiency. Using the flatness property, we propose simple solutions to dynamics and stabilization problems. The design controller parameters are autonomous of the operating point; moreover, high dynamics in disturbance rejection is achieved. To validate the proposed method, a hardware system is realized in a laboratory, and digital estimation is accomplished with a dSPACE controller DS1104 platform. Simulation and experimental results with a small-scale PMSM of 1000 W, 3000 rpm in a laboratory corroborate the excellent control scheme during a motor-drive cycles.

This paper proposes a new concept to control a bidirectional LCL converter which is suitable for applications in mobile mining equipment. This converter employs two DC/AC insulated-gate bipolar transistor-based (IGBT) converters and a passive LCL which replaces the more common high frequency transformer and plays the most important role in energy conversion. Compared to the previously known control schemes, the proposed scheme uses p-q theory resulting in simpler and more robust control design. In order to apply p-q theory to a single phase circuit, a pseudo orthogonal signal is generated from one phase by using a second order generalized integrator (SOGI). The definitions of instantaneous active and reactive powers are adjusted accordingly. Performance of the proposed control scheme under steady state, during load and reference voltage step changes, and under a DC fault is studied via a detailed EMTP-RV simulation of a full size 20-MW 24kV/1.2kV converter. The simulation results are experimentally validated on a laboratory 200-W 100V/20V prototype converter.

A new methodology for the implementation of a power system model for damping low-frequency oscillations in field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based real-time simulator is proposed. The continuous form of the model is converted to discrete-time domain model, and then reduced to block diagrams involving the delay operators and gains for the implementation in the FPGA. The hardware implementation of a power system stabilizer (PSS) to control the system is also introduced using FPGA. The real-time implementation of the proposed approach in an FPGA is described. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed FPGA-based simulator, a single machine infinite bus system (SMIB) is tested with the stabilizer under different operating conditions. Results show the capability of implementing the power system with the stabilizer in an FPGA. Additionally, very short time and constant computation time per simulation time-step are established.

Industrial facility's often have very complex electrical systems and equipment. Much of this equipment was installed many years or even decades ago and therefore may have deteriorate into an unsafe condition. All too often equipment covers are left off or are not properly fastened in place, there are unused openings that have not been effectively closed, and listing and labeling requirements are not adhered to. Another major issue is that sufficient access and working space is not maintained about all electric equipment to permit ready and safe operation and maintenance of such equipment. Regularly scheduled electrical safety inspections can assist in identifying these deficiencies, as well as other electrical safety issues that may put personnel at risk from electrical hazards. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have developed regulations and standards that, if adhered to, can reduce the hazardous conditions that are identified through electrical safety inspections or assessments.

In this paper, a novel prediction approach for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance degradation is proposed based on a multi-physical aging model with particle filter approach. The proposed multi-physical aging model uses aging coefficients to describe fuel cell different physical aging phenomena over time, including membrane conductivity losses, reduction of reactants mass transfer and reaction activity losses. In order to accurately model the activation loss, the implicit Butler-Volmer equation is used. The initial values of the aging parameters are tuned by fitting the fuel cell polarization curve at the beginning of life. Based on the initialized aging model, the first step of prediction approach is to estimate all the aging parameters using Bayesian Monte Carlo-based Particle Filter (PF) during the learning phase of experimental aging test. The suitable fitting curve function is then selected to satisfy the degradation behavior of each trained aging parameter, and further provide the extrapolated values of aging parameters in the validation phase. By applying these extrapolated aging parameters into aging model, the prediction result of fuel cell output voltage in the validation phase can be obtained. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach have good prediction performance for fuel cell degradation. In addition, each obtained aging parameters provides an insight into the different degree of physical aging process over time during the fuel cell operating, which is important to understand degradation mechanisms.

As the electricity market undergoes continuous evolutions, along with the outdated nature of the grid, system operators would have to be able to more effectively manage the operation costs since waves of maintenance costs and equipment investments would be anticipated in the years to come. Strategic implementation of cost-effective reliability centered maintenance (RCM) approaches seems to be a key solution. This paper proposes an efficient method to assess the component criticality for the system overall reliability and further maintenance focuses. A solution concept of game theory, called Shapely Value, that is able to fairly identify the contribution of each single equipment to the system reliability performance once a high-order contingency occurs is proposed. The suggested framework would help in realizing where investments to be made in the grid to keep a desirable system performance from the reliability standpoint. Implemented on the IEEE Reliability Test System (IEEE-RTS), the effectiveness of the suggested framework is confirmed.
