To enhance the reliability and lifetime of a single-phase dual-stage full-bridge microinverter, the film capacitor may be preferably used instead of a DC-link electrolytic capacitor. However, concern to hold the DC-link voltage during transients, this expectation needs an input current sensor for conventional feedforward power balance compensation in the voltage control loop, increasing whole system cost. Moreover, the inherent double-line frequency of single-phase AC instantaneous power still appears on the DC-link voltage that is the adverse cause of grid-injected third-order harmonic current of the inverter. For overcoming all the obstacles described above, without any use of an input current sensor, this paper proposes a modified notch filter to function with an input DC power estimation feedforward for the voltage control loop. Consequently, using the film capacitor can be used without any system performance reduction, which can reduce system cost. The simulation results show that the proposed power estimation feedforward can cope with a dip of DC-link voltage, while the good quality of grid-injected current is not significantly different from using the conventional feedforward.

Flexible retort pouches or sachets are extensively used to package contents on a large scale in food and beverage fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industries. High-speed sealing of such packages causes poor sealing (e.g. air leaks) and/or trapped contents (e.g. powder, liquid, etc.), which affects product containment. Presently, seal integrity testing is performed using offline, slow, expensive and invasive methods (e.g. leak test). Herein, a capacitive proximity sensor is used for sachet seal integrity testing to detect powder trapped in seals based on the differences in the dielectric properties of the seal and the trapped powder in the capacitive field. The sensor showed a fast response (100 ms) and a low detection limit (∼9.09 mg) for detection of powder trapped in seals, which is suitable for high throughput inline seal inspection.

In this paper, a fault-tolerant single-phase AC-DC boost matrix converter is proposed. The proposed converter is based on a Single-Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) configuration. The combination of four power switches creates multiple alternative current routes to maintain a continuous output power supply. The operation of the converter is analysed in detail by assessing all possibility of open circuit fault occurrence in SPMC across the switches. A PWM generator controlled by a set of codes along with a combination of logic gates are used to produce a steady output voltage, VO. A simulation is designed by using MATLAB/Simulink to study the performance of the converter. The proposed converter has been tested and able to detect the Open Circuit Fault (OCF) within one cycle and recover within five to six cycles. Four different routes can be enabled to overcome OCF while maintaining a consistent VO.

This paper proposed a new topology of Cuk rectifier with open circuit fault detection technique whereas the proposed converter is based on a H-bridge rectifier configuration. The circuit possesses redundancy feature such that only two out of four switches were required to operate and ensure that the continuity of the rectifier operation with power factor correction (PFC). The proposed rectifier has four options to operate. Hence, to switch in between options when there is open circuit fault, the rectifier operates in closed loop, where the controller of the circuit monitors the output of rectifier. Thus, the controller is proposed to switch to different mode depending on the fault. A new technique to identify the exact location of faulty switch based on the rectifier is proposed. The faulty switch is detected by analyzing the voltage of charging capacitor, the current options, and the cycle of input power supply. With this, continuous voltage and current can be ensure. The analysis of open circuit fault tolerant Cuk rectifier and it fault detection is done by using MATLAB simulation software.

Software-defined control of DC/DC switch mode power converters features unequaled flexibility compared to analog control. For fast switching converters as recently used for low power applications, digital control may cause steady-state oscillations known as limit cycles. This effect based on a quantized duty cycle is compared to other aberrations such as output ripple voltage, which is inherent to any pulse-width modulator. A distinction is made between DC and AC errors. The latter are divided into synchronous and asynchronous output voltage disturbances. Synchronous AC errors are composed of the switching frequency and its harmonics.

The concept of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) has sparked the urgency of many manufacturers to revisit their manufacturing processes and search for opportunities to further improved their production output. Unfortunately, it is difficult to improve a process with inadequate data. Many of the SMEs in developing countries are still using manufacturing machines from the yesteryears which do not have computational and connectivity capabilities. Therefore, we developed an end-to-end Internet-of-Things (IoT) solution, which reliably tracks the production performance of manufacturing machines. This paper elaborates on the designs and the rationale behind it. As of the writing of this paper, our IoT system has been deployed in real manufacturing environment and has been running for approximately 90 days on a 24/7 basis without data lost.

The unbalanced distribution of electromagnetic force density inside an electric machine's air gap is one of the leading causes of electromagnetic vibration along with associated noise. Many factors influence the unbalanced distribution of electromagnetic forces inside the machine air gap; however, this study focuses on the influence of armature reaction on the electromagnetic forces and the vibration and noise behaviour of an interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) having multiple three-phase sector winding units. Complete multi-physics model analysis is presented by investigating the distribution of the magnetic field density components generated due to the interactions between the magnetomotive force (MMF) generated by each independent three-phase winding unit, along with the radial force density components, and their impact on the overall vibration and noise of the prototype machine. Static 2-D Finite element analysis (FEA) using the frozen permeability technique with 2-D Fast Fourier Transform is used to analyze the magnetic flux density and the radial component of the electromagnetic force density distribution of the prototype machine under healthy and open-circuit fault conditions. Moreover, mechanical FEA is conducted using the multi-physics model technique to find the harmonic mode shapes of the prototype machine under different operating conditions to investigate the machine vibration behavior, which is finally verified by experimental tests. The findings of the high reliability systematic multi-physics analysis and the experimental results present useful information to understand the vibration behaviour of the prototype machine with multiple three-phase units.

This paper proposes a single-wire power transfer (SWPT) system using distributed parameter resonant coil. An accurate equivalent circuit is proposed by establishing the distributed parameter circuit model of the single-layer air-core solenoid coils and the single wire. The vector and amplitude distribution of spatial electric field are depicted from simulation results. Experimental results of a prototype SWPT system are presented at different distances. The system can transfer 350W with 60% efficiency at 30m, and transfer 300W with 42% efficiency at 70m.

Aerospace Engineering is an emerging division of modern engineering nowadays. Many space programs have been taken lately at the graduate and post-graduate levels to familiarize the topic to the students. As a result, space technological knowledge and research have been limited to post-graduate and doctorate students. Undergraduate, college and school students do not get proper access to space-related knowledge. Moreover, nowadays small satellites are very popular for educational and research purposes as big satellites are costly and too complex for starters. For school and college students, it is very hard to understand the system and functions of satellites due to the limitation of space system knowledge. There are some satellite training kits in the market that can help the students to understand the systems and structure of a satellite. However, the few available satellite training kits are very much expensive. The demonstration of such a satellite training kit with a proper program can eradicate the limitation of the availability of space education and keep growing interest among the students about satellite technology. In this thesis project, a systematic architecture has been proposed that can provide the students with space systems engineering experience through demonstration, assembly, integration, and operation of a satellite training kit. The whole architecture has four parts - 1) Simulation, 2) Mechanical, 3) Electrical, and 4) Software. In this thesis, to prove our whole concept we will complete the mechanical and electrical simulations of the satellite training kit.
