Deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) has been widely applied in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives due to its fast dynamic response and good steady-state performance. However, the control accuracy of DPCC is dependent on the machine parameters' accuracy. In practical applications, the machine parameters may vary with working conditions due to temperature, saturation, skin effect, and so on. As a result, the performance of DPCC may degrade when there are parameter mismatches between the actual value and the one used in the controller. To solve the problem of parameter dependence for DPCC, this study proposes an improved model-free predictive current control method for PMSM drives. The accurate model of the PMSM is replaced by a first-order ultra-local model. This model is dynamically updated by online estimation of the gain of the input voltage and the other parts describing the system dynamics. After obtaining this ultra-local model from the information on the measured stator currents and applied stator voltages in past control periods, the reference voltage value can be calculated based on the principle of DPCC, which is subsequently synthesized by space vector modulation (SVM). This method is compared with conventional DPCC and field-oriented control (FOC), and its superiority is verified by the presented experimental results.

Multi-converter system is mainly used in advanced automotive systems. Different converters and inverters are taking part in automotive systems to provide different voltage levels in a multi-converter system. It involves constant voltage load (CVL), constant power load (CPL) and other loads. The CPL in such systems offers negative impedance characteristic and it creates a destabilizing effect on the main converter. The effect of destabilization can be reduced by increasing the CVL or inserting parasitic components. Attempts have been made by authors to improve the stability by using parasitics of different components such as switch, diode and inductor. Influence of insertion of parasitics including the series equivalent resistance of the filter capacitor and variation in CVL on the performance of main converter is mathematically analyzed and conflicting behavior between system stability and efficiency is observed. The optimum solution between these two functions is obtained by using multi-objective decision making (MODM) by varying parasitics of different components and CVL. An attempt has been made to demonstrate the effect of CVL load and the parasitics on the stability and efficiency of the main converter, experimentally.

Accurate reactive power sharing is one of the main issues in isolated microgrids to avoid circulating currents and overloading small distributed generation (DG) units. A simple and enhanced method for improving reactive power sharing among parallel-connected DG systems in an isolated microgrid was proposed. The proposed method uses a compensator term with an integral action to minimize the reactive power-sharing error internally without any need for communication or information shared among the DG units. Moreover, a small disturbance carrying part of the reactive power-sharing error is injected into the active power-droop controller, maintaining the essential system parameters within their allowable limits. Consequently, a simple compensation trigger system is proposed to effectively detect any local load change in the network and provide compensation gains to activate the proposed control method. The stability of the proposed method was verified and analyzed using a detailed small-signal model. Moreover, the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method were validated through comprehensive simulation studies and comparisons with other related techniques.

An on-board charger for efficiently charging multiple battery-operated electric vehicles (EVs) is introduced. It has evolved as a single-input dual-output (SIDO) integrated boost-single ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) fly-back converter, offering cost-effectiveness, reliability, and higher efficiency compared to conventional chargers with equivalent specifications. The proposed system includes an additional regulated output terminal, in addition to an existing terminal for charging the EV battery of a 4-wheeler, which can be used to charge another EV battery, preferably a 2-wheeler. With the aid of control techniques, unity power factor operations are obtained during constant-voltage (CV)/constant-current (CC) charging for the grid-to-vehicle (G2V) operating mode. Using mathematical modelling analysis, the proposed system is developed in a Matlab/Simulink environment, and the results are validated in a real-time simulator using dSPACE-1104.

The inherent intermittency and uncertainty of photovoltaic (PV) power generation impede the development of grid-connected PV systems. Accurately forecasting PV output power is an effective way to address this problem. A hybrid forecasting model that combines the clustering of a trained self-organizing map (SOM) network and an optimized kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) method to improve the accuracy of short-term PV power generation forecasting are proposed. First, pure SOM is employed to complete the initial partitions of the training dataset; then the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm is used to cluster the trained SOM network and the Davies-Bouldin index (DBI) is utilized to determine the optimal size of clusters, simultaneously. Finally, in each data partition, the clusters are combined with the KELM method optimized by differential evolution algorithm to establish a regional KELM model or combined with multiple linear regression (MR) using least squares to complete coefficient evaluation to establish a regional MR model. The proposed models are applied to one-hour-ahead PV power forecasting instances in three different solar power plants provided by GEFCom2014. Compared with other single global models, the root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the proposed regional KELM model are reduced by 52.06% in plant 1, 54.56% in plant 2, and 51.43% in plant 3 on average. Such results demonstrate that the forecasting accuracy has been significantly improved using the proposed models. In addition, the comparisons between the proposed and existing state-of-the-art forecasting methods presented have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed methods. The forecasts of different methods in different seasons revealed the strong robustness of the proposed method. In four seasons, the MAEs and RMSEs of the proposed SF-KELM are generally the smallest. Moreover, the $R^{2}$
