Fractional slot concentrated winding machine is a promising solution for wheel-hub propulsion. However, there are so many pole/slot combinations for such machine especially when with larger number of poles. Such combinations usually have similar electromagnetic performance, thus it is difficult to select the most rational and optimal combinations from numerous candidates. This paper takes a 50kW high torque density wheel-hub motor as an example to make a comprehensive comparison of different pole-slot combinations. The common pole-slot combinations are screened by inherent performance and design specifications. Performance comparisons are then carried out to determine the appropriate combination for the prototype. Finally, prototypes are manufactured to verify the analysis results.

Harmonics and interharmonics are a great concern in power systems. As a consequence, many works are addressing the detection of these disturbances. Traditional filters can be used to extract information from voltage and currents measurements. However, accurate estimation of these disturbances is challenging due to the large amount of frequency components that can be found in a single signal. In this paper, a method to detect harmonic and interharmonic components based on cascaded nonlinear limit cycle oscillators is presented. With the proposed method, these components can be extracted from the signal of interest even if their magnitudes change over time. Moreover, the proposed method is able to predict the frequency, phase and magnitude of each component with great accuracy. Simulation results performed in Matlab/Simulink are presented to validate the performance of the proposed technique.

Switched Reluctance Machines (SRM) are a kind of electrical machines that have been adopted in many applications due to some interesting characteristics. One of the critical aspects associated to these machines is the required drive. In the case of a fault in one of its transistors the drive operation could become compromised. Thus, fault-tolerant converters are required to mitigate this problem. In this context, this paper presents a new power converter topology for a SRM drive. This topology intends to attenuate the problem of requiring many power semiconductors. Thus, a topology characterized by a reduced amount of power semiconductors is presented in this paper. The proposed topology is based on an inverter with a dual output taking advantage from the aspect that in the SRM the winding current can be inverted without affecting its operation. Besides the description of the behavior and characteristics, the theoretical assumptions are verified by several tests. These tests are done with the system in normal and fault-tolerant operation and were carried out by computer simulations.

The paper proposes a thermal model of an air transformer used in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. This model takes into account self-heating in each of the windings and mutual thermal couplings between the windings. The description of the model takes into account the influence of the power dissipated in each of the windings and the distance between the windings on their self and transfer transient thermal impedances. The form of the proposed model, the method of determining its parameters, and the results of the model correctness verification on the example of a transformer with ring-shaped windings are presented. A good agreement was obtained between the results of measurements and simulations.

The paper focuses on extending the applicability of the universal power electronics interface to two voltage standards of residential dc microgrids. The studied converter can seamlessly integrate various types of photovoltaic (PV) modules and battery energy storage types into the dc microgrids utilizing the same hardware platform. Using the topology morphing control (TMC), the proposed converter features a wide operating voltage range and high efficiency in both directions of power flow. Moreover, the TMC allows for doubling the voltage gain range for operation with different dc microgrid voltages. Experimental results show how the converter efficiency differs during its operation in 350 V or 700 V residential dc microgrids.

As a result of the recent innovations in the deployment of distributed Energy Storage Systems (ESS) such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), this technology can play an important role as a distributed energy resource in supplying the system demand for the new generation of power systems. BESSs are considered promising technology in the microgrid to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate the intermittency from renewable energy sources in a microgrid in which operators adjust electricity procurement and storage decisions in dynamic response to changes in demand, supply, and pricing in real-time to increase the profit. Optimization approaches have been proposed as a way to increase the user’s profits from microgrid participation. However, renewable energy resources are highly uncertain and cannot be effectively predicted which affects the operation of the microgrid-based BESS. Therefore, this study presents a layout design of energy planning for microgrids using the stochastic energy management model. The proposed management algorithm aims to find a day-ahead optimal operation of the microgrid including the photovoltaic (PV) system, and BESS considering demand response programs in the grid-connected mode. The stochastic model operates a grid-tied PV-BESS-based microgrid asset to inject the power into the main grid and store the surplus energy to maximize the profit. Besides, to create the stochastic energy management model, machine learning and deep learning models are used to generate proper and accurate scenarios for the PV system. Finally, a systematic simulation based on time-varying electricity prices was carried out using a day-ahead profile of a single load profile.

In response to growing concerns about environmental pollution, energy shortages, and power supply security, efforts have been intensified to improve the energy efficiency of residential buildings, which account for around 27 percent of global energy consumption. This has led to the concept of nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB) that employ modern materials and construction techniques, efficient heating systems, and local power generation from renewable energies. In this study, the focus is on a nZEB located in the Nordic climate zone, with the primary goal of minimizing the electricity bill and maximizing self-consumption from rooftop PV. To achieve this, a novel battery management algorithm is proposed, and dc building is considered for increased efficiency. It was found that although it is not possible to cover day-by-day energy or heating system needs from PV generation, with the use of 18 kWh battery and proposed scheduling algorithm, it is possible to practically exclude electrical energy purchases during peak hours.

This paper proposes a load flow-based approach to analyze electric systems, with the aim of considering multiple factors in grid studies, including technical, social, environmental, and economic factors. The proposed method enables the graphical design of grids, and the seamless integration of models of distributed generation, residential loads, and economic signals, such as day-ahead prices. The validity of the approach is demonstrated by comparing its results against the traditional iterative load flow analysis approach. Several test cases are presented to showcase the model’s capabilities in studying economic and environmental factors. Notably, the study of residential loads generated for different scenarios enables the observation of the impact of social factors, such as household size, on the grid.

The paper describes the design of PCB winding and planar ferrite core based common mode and differential mode EMI filters. The paper proposes idea how to integrate both inductors into single core thus potentially reducing the size of the filter. The inductance and impedance measurements have been shown in the paper. It is discussed possibility to integrate capacitance into PCB based inductor. It has been concluded that integration of input EMI filter has a good potential, especially if the converter works at higher switching frequencies and therefore low value inductances and capacitances are needed. Experimental designs of such passive components are shown in the paper.

Uncertainty and non-linearity in the braking process of electric vehicles prevent the use of classical control methods. Given the presence of many algorithms, each of which acts differently in various braking conditions, this study proposes an intelligent braking methodology that can adapt to changing modes and environmental characteristics. Once the need in braking is detected, the required parameters of the vehicle and the road are forwarded into the neural network generated its action with the help of deep reinforcement learning. A system presented makes a decision regarding the braking torque strength and its sharing between electrical and friction brakes for every driving situation. The simulation was carried out to test the effectiveness of the proposed approach which results show that the offered method ensures high-quality deceleration with good energy recovery without skidding and, thereby increases the braking efficiency.
