2-coil non-radiative wireless power transfer (WPT) is studied to find the coil diameter ratio to effective distance of power transfer efficiency (PTE). Single circular coil and spiral coil are designed and simulated using CST software to compare the result of coil diameter versus effective distance of PTE by using S21 value. Accordingly, the quality factor (Q) of both coils are presented as Q factor is one of the parameter that affect the performance of WPT system. The result is promising as the effective distance is more than the coil diameter with (PTE) more than 50% using spiral coil as compare to single coil design.

This article, present a new contribution to the control of wind energy systems, a robust nonlinear control of active and reactive power with the use of the Backstepping and Sliding Mode Control approach based on a doubly fed Induction Generator power (DFIG-Generator) in order to reduce the response time of the wind system. In the first step, a control strategy of the MPPT for the extraction of the maximum power of the turbine generator is presented. Subsequently, the Backstepping control technique followed by the sliding mode applied to the wind systems will be presented. These two types of control system rely on the stability of the system using the LYAPUNOV technique. Simulation results show performance in terms of set point tracking, stability and robustness versus wind speed variation.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i2.pp768-776
Trong-Thang Nguyen
This research aims to propose an optimal controller for controlling the speed of the Direct Current (DC) motor. Based on the mathematical equations of DC Motor, the author builds the equations of the state space model and builds the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller to minimize the error between the set speed and the response speed of DC motor. The results of the proposed controller are compared with the traditional controllers as the PID, the feed-forward controller. The simulation results show that the quality of the control system in the case of LQR controller is much higher than the traditional controllers. The response speed always follows the set speed with the short conversion time, there isn't overshoot. The response speed is almost unaffected when the torque impact on the shaft is changed.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed in the present study using ANSYS Fluent 18.0, a commercially available CFD package, to characterize the behaviour of the new HAWT. Static three-dimensional CFD simulations were conducted. The static torque characteristics of the turbine and the simplicity of design highlight its suitability for the GE 1.5xle turbine. The major factor for generating the power through the HAWT is the velocity of air and the position of the blade angle in the HAWT blade assembly. The study presents the effect of The blade is 43.2 meters long and starts with a cylindrical shape at the root and then transitions to the airfoils S818, S825 and S826 for the root, body and tip, respectively. This blade also has pitch to vary as a function of radius, giving it a twist and the pitch angle at the blade tip is 4 degrees. This blade was created to be similar in size to a GE 1.5xle turbine by Cornell University [1]. In addition, note that to represent the blade being connected to a hub, the blade root is offset from the axis of rotation by 1 meter. The hub is not included in our model.

Improved ROCOF relay for islanding detection of solar distributed generation

10.11591/ijeecs.v14.i3.pp1105-1113
J. Rajesh Reddy , A. Pandian
In recent years to meet the energy consumption demand of the world, all are working on renewable distributed generation (RDG) due to shortage of fossil fuels. The RDG systems after integrating with grid, has a disadvantage of islanding in the power system. Islanding is caused, if the RDG is supplying power to load connected due to failures in the grid. As per IEEE 1547 distributed generation (DG) interconnection standards, the islanding should be detected within 2 seconds after islanding. In this paper a hybrid islanding detection scheme is presented with rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) and reactive power injection with positive feedback. It will reduce the non detection zone (NDZ) of passive ROCOF relay to zero and can detect balanced islanding. The computer simulations are performed on MATLAB-2016. The simulations results show the effective performance of the proposed method.

Laith M. Akram Alsaqal , Ahmed M. T. Ibraheem Alnaib , Omar Talal Mahmood
There are various types of Multilevel Converters (MCs) in addition to various types of modulation techniques for these types of MCs; the challenges in selecting the best one of them with regard to the amount of the required of components, and its harmonics content. So, a comparison study among these types has been done in this paper. For comparison study, the simulation of seven level of two popular topologies of MCs: Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converter, and Cascaded-MCs were carried out with Matlab/Simulink software program. These converters are used to drive a single phase capacitor start motor drive. Multicarrier modulation control techniques are used for controlling the MCs; these techniques involve two main type: Level Shifted Carrier (LSC), and Phase Shifted Carrier (PSC). The comparison is made with respect to the performance factors as, the amplitude of  the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and the DC-bus utilization performance which measured by Root Mean Square of the output voltage Vrms at variable modulation indices and variable carrier frequency. Based on simulation results it's found, that the cascaded-MC with PSC modulation method gives best results, in addition to the Alternative Phase Opposition Disposition APOD-LSC modulation technique (with even number of modulation frequency) generate the output voltage with a lower harmonic content compared with the other techniques.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i2.pp792-800
Jabar Siti Norbakyah , Abdul Rahman Salisa
Today, the transportation sector has undergone a change from conventional vehicle to hybrid electric vehicle especially land-based with the aim to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. However, water transportation is also one of the contributors of excessive use of fuel and emissions. Therefore, water transport needs changes as it has been done on land transport, especially cars. In this paper, plug in hybrid electric recreational boat (PHERB) is introduced. PHERB is a special model because in PHERB powertrain configuration, it only needed one EM compared to existing configuration with energy management strategy (EMS).  In this work, the optimal EMS for PHERB are presented via genetic algorithm (GA). To estimate the fuel economy and emissions, the model of PHERB is employed numerically in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment with a special EMS using Kuala Terengganu (KT) river driving cycle. Simulation result of PHERB optimization using GA improve to 15% for KT river driving cycles without violating the PHERB performance.

The imbalanced data problems in data mining are common nowadays, which occur due to skewed nature of data. These problems impact the classification process negatively in machine learning process. In such problems, classes have different ratios of specimens in which a large number of specimens belong to one class and the other class has fewer specimens that is usually an essential class, but unfortunately misclassified by many classifiers. So far, significant research is performed to address the imbalanced data problems by implementing different techniques and approaches. In this research, a comprehensive survey is performed to identify the challenges of handling imbalanced class problems during classification process using machine learning algorithms. We discuss the issues of classifiers which endorse bias for majority class and ignore the minority class. Furthermore, the viable solutions and potential future directions are provided to handle the problems.

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i2.pp672-681
Nageswara Rao Kudithi , Sakda Somkun
The power conditioning circuits which are used in fuel cell systems should carefully be designed to prolong the life span of the system, for the reason of the dynamic nature, such that the unexpected and extreme changes in load decreases the life of the fuel cells. This paper presents the triple active bridge (TAB) and it’s average small signal modelling, which is used for design of the system controllers for stable operation. The extended symmetrical optimum method is used for realized the proportional integral (PI) controller, to control the output/Load voltage and power flow in the fuel cell/Source with a guaranteed minimum phase margin for the system with a variable process gain in addition to other accepted desired performances. This method ensures the maximum phase margin at a minimum required value at the desired gain crossover frequency with a compromise between system’s peak overshoot, rise time and settling time. This model and this approach helps in designing TAB suitable for healthy and uninterrupted fuel cell power generation systems as a part of a renewable /clean energy system. MATLAB/Simulink is used to simulate the proposed controllers with TAB.

Modeling and simulation of quasi-Z-source indirect matrix converter for permanent magnet synchronous motor drive

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i2.pp882-899
Ahmed Muthenaa Nori , Turki K. Hassan
This paper aims to use a three-phase quasi-Z-source indirect matrix converter (QZSIMC) to expand the voltage gain for application in a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives. In this converter, a unique quasi-Z-source network (QZSN) connects the three-phase input voltage to conventional indirect matrix converter (IMC) in order to boost the supply voltage for PMSM because of limited voltage gain of IMC. Dual space vector modulation (SVM) is utilized to control the QZSIMC. The amplitude of output voltage for quasi-Z-source network is raised by the shoot-through of the rectifier stage, so the system voltage gain becomes greater. Through selecting the optimized value of shoot through duty ratio (D) and modulation index of the rectifier stage (), the drive system can automatically regulate the output voltage of QZSIMC during conditions of voltage sag , step change in load torque and reference speed change when the required voltage gain of QZSIMC is more than 0.866 depending on input voltage and required output voltage.The vector control technique based on closed loop speed control is proposed to control speed of the motor from zero to rated speed which is combined with the proposed converter to obtain the motor drive. The simulation results with MATLAB /Simulink 2015 are obtained to validate performance of PMSM drive.

In this research, we propose a novel recommendation for improving CCT-D and lumen output (LO) of the 6600K in-cup packaging white LEDs (ICP-WLEDs) by varying its particle concentration. By using Light Tools and Mat lab software based on the Mie Theory, we derive the influence of the red phosphor particle’s concentration on the D-CCT and LO. The results show that the CCT-D are significantly affected when the concentration of the red phosphor varying from 0% to 1.8%. The CCT-D decreases from 4000K to 2200K and LO increases from 800 lm to 1300 lm.

Frequency adaptive sliding fourier transform for synchronizing VSI to the grid

10.11591/ijpeds.v10.i2.pp1034-1048

Sliding Discrete Fourier Transform (SDFT) is very efficient regarding computational load and it possesses a very fast phase angle detection with excellent harmonic rejection at nominal frequency. However, at off-nominal frequency, SDFT generates errors in both magnitude and phase angle due to spectral leakage. This paper introduces a workaround for Fourier Transform to handle this disability under off-nominal frequency while avoiding variable-rate sampling. Sliding Fourier Transform (SFT) is used as a phase detector for a phase-locked loop whose output frequency is used to drive the SFT. The paper revisits the mathematics of Fourier Transform (FT) in a three-phase setting via a time-domain approach to show a newly proposed filtering technique for the double-frequency oscillation just by summing the FT sine/cosine filter outputs of the three individual phases. Also, the analysis aims to determine and correct the phase and magnitude errors under offnominal frequency operation. The proposed technique (SFT-PLL) is tested in real time on dSPACE DS1202 DSP using voltage vectors that are pregenerated to simulate the most adverse grid conditions. The testing scenarios compare the performance of the SFT-PLL with that of the Decoupled Stationary Reference Frame PLL (dαβPLL). The results prove that SFT-PLL is superior to dαβPLL.

The voltage source inverters (VSI) are ever required section in the AC motor drive and power system interface. The electrical drive segment, the VSI based drives are unavoidable and they are closely operated with induction motor, permanent magnate synchronous motor and BLDC motor. These drives are normally needed high torque-power characters. Hence, the input DC-link side voltage is increased with help of increasing input AC in the rectifier input. However, this causes the power quality disturbance in the AC main and DC-link. In order to go for a increasing the AC voltage, the rectifier out is connected with DC to DC boost converter and they are increasing the DC voltage to meet out the drive DC-link voltage demand. With this aim, the paper proposes the idea to connect high step non-isolated high gain coupled DC to DC converter with three phase VSI for drives applications. The proposed converter has an ability to increase the voltage five times and the counter winding arrangement ratio of the converter is help for the further increase of gain. Inn this interface the front end DC to DC converters inductors are charged by making the short circuit with inverter switching. The converter voltage gain is controlled by shoot through of the VSI switch (converter gain directly proportional to inverter shoot through). The proposed converter has a higher degree of freedom in their values of winding and output voltage. Hence, the DC-link voltage of the inverter can be extended in any level. The operation principle and modes of the proposed DC to DC Source tied VSI is analyzed and simulated using MATLAB-Simulink software simulation.  The laboratory based small scale power circuit is developed with help of control algorithm. The entire implementation is done through PIC microcontroller platform. The deign Investigation, system simulation and experimentation confirming the proposed DC to DC converter tied VSI drive system.
