The role of thermal insulation layers and the integration of solar energy in temporary heating systems

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i4.pp2677-2687
Rexhep Selimaj , Sabrije Osmanaj
This paper examines thermal insulation strategies for building walls and the integration of solar heating systems to improve the performance of temporary heating systems in residential buildings in Kosovo. A two-story house was used as the case study, simulating four different scenarios of thermal insulation layer placement in the walls with different capacities of the heating system. The proposed thermal balance method of the building takes into account the arrangement of thermal insulation layers and their impact on the building’s energy savings. The results indicate that external insulation offers the best balance between heat retention and energy efficiency, while internal insulation enables faster heating and a shorter time to reach the desired temperature. Under low-temperature conditions, solar energy was analyzed and integrated as an additional source to enhance the heating system capacity and reduce electricity consumption. Simulation results demonstrate further improvement in system performance, enabling optimized operating schedules and a significant reduction in energy consumption.

The virtual-flux direct power control (VFDPC) technique is a sensorless control approach aimed at improving the performance of grid-connected power converters. The approach involves simulating the grid voltage and AC-side inductors similar to an AC motor drive system, a principle deriving from direct torque control (DTC). The basic idea of VFDPC is to indirectly estimate the voltage at the converter's input through the concept of virtual flux, enabling the real-time calculation of instantaneous active and reactive power without necessitating direct voltage measurements. An essential element of the VFDPC approach is the implementation of a lookup table, used as a decision-making tool that identifies the most suitable voltage vector (a particular output state of the converter) in accordance with real-time power conditions. This provides instantaneous and smooth control of power flow, leading to enhanced operational stability. This approach allows for continual optimization of the converter's output, enabling VFDPC to significantly decrease total harmonic distortion (THD) while preserving reliable steady-state and dynamic performance. Experimental validation demonstrates that incorporating real-time feedback into virtual flux estimates improves the precision of voltage prediction and the responsiveness of the power control system. Consequently, VFDPC exhibits enhanced adaptability for various grid and load situations, presenting an appropriate choice for current power systems that demand efficient, reliable, and sensorless operation.

Fuzzy logic-based adaptive PLL switching strategy for voltage control in DVR assisted grid tied PV systems

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i4.pp2353-2368
R. Srilakshmi , V. Chayapathy
This study aims to enhance power quality in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems by introducing an intelligent fuzzy logic-based adaptive control strategy for dynamic PLL switching in a DVR-supported configuration. A 100-kW grid-tied PV system is modeled with a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL), a conventional synchronous reference frame PLL (CTPLL), and a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). A Mamdani-type fuzzy inference system (FIS) performs real-time PLL selection based on phase-wise real-time fault monitoring. The system was tested under symmetrical and asymmetrical 20% sag and swell conditions, evaluating voltage stability at both PCC and load, total harmonic distortion (THD), recovery time, and synchronization accuracy. Results show that the proposed method reduces unnecessary DVR voltage injection from ~50 V to ~5-6 V under healthy conditions, maintains a near-unity power factor (< 0.95), and achieves up to 15% THD reduction in inverter current and PCC currents compared to DPLL-only operation. Recovery times improved by up to 25%, with stable synchronization maintained in all fault cases. The integration of adaptive PLL switching and targeted DVR activation offers a novel, hardware-efficient approach to harmonic suppression, voltage stabilization, and fault resilience in medium-scale PV systems.

The practical application of the induction motor is an essential part of electrical engineering. A direct connection of the motors to the mains voltage negatively affects both the motor itself and the mains system as a whole due to high starting current values, as a result, more accidents and shortening the drive system service life. This article discusses the development of designing and implementing of soft starter single-phase IM to reduce the inrush current using the firing angle reduction technique with remote monitoring and control using the ESP32 (node MCU) and Arduino Due microcontrollers. The integration of IoT-based tools software such as VS Code, enables the remote monitoring and control of motor features. Testing shows that the system effectively facilitates remote motor control, providing a flexible and accessible learning environment with minimum starting current, solving the inrush current problem facing IMs. The proposed soft starter gives three cases of firing angle reduction that show a percentage reduction in starting current for these cases (case I, case II, and case III) are 51%, 54% and 64%, respectively. Case III has a maximum starting current is 2.2 A compared to 6.2 A for direct connecting of IM to the power supply (DOL).

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are widely used in applications where high efficiency is crucial. With advancements in permanent magnet technology, BLDC motors are increasingly suitable for high-torque applications such as residential elevators. Known for their high efficiency, low maintenance, and excellent controllability, BLDC motors are ideal candidates for this research. However, the challenge lies in identifying the most efficient rotor structure that can deliver the required torque for residential elevator applications while maintaining cost-effectiveness and compact design. This paper addresses this problem by simulating various rotor types of BLDC motors using the finite element method (FEM), Ansys Maxwell. four different rotor structures have been analyzed to evaluate their back electromotive force (EMF) and torque. The model generating the highest torque will be selected for manufacturing as a motor for residential elevators. Among the models studied, BLDC-ERA rotor structures produced the highest torque of 28 Nm, while BLDC-HR type generates the lowest torque. To ensure practicality and cost-effectiveness of installing elevators in double-story houses or smaller residences, the selected motor must be compact and affordable, enabling senior citizen to maintain their independence. This research not only aids other researchers in designing suitable motors for elevator applications but also contributes to societal well-being by promoting accessibility and independence for the elderly.

This study provides a comprehensive process of designing an electric motor that will be used for a small two-wheeled electric vehicle. Due to high performance capability in term of power and torque, brushless permanent magnet topology is chosen so that a compromise between size constraint and performance can be met. For an accurate motor design sizing, the design process is initially carried out by determination of power rating that derived from vehicle dynamic calculation. Based on winding factor calculation, fractional-slot 12-slot/10-pole and 9-slot/10-pole motors equipped with non-overlapping winding are chosen and analyzed using finite element analysis (FEA) software. For an optimum electromagnetic performance, parametric optimization is included, mainly on the stator dimension. Despite the performance of both designs improved, only 9-slot motor results a convincing performance as the rated torque is 18% higher than the 12-slot design. For verification purpose, 1-D analytical solution is also included and compared with results deduced by the FEA. According to the analysis, the proposed motor designs are adequately reliable for a light electrically powered electric vehicle application.

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i4.pp2381-2388
Phan-Thanh Nguyen , Cong-Trang Nguyen
In this study, a new chattering-free global second-order sliding mode load frequency controller (CGSOSMLFC) is proposed for multi-region linked power systems (MRLPS). Key achievements of this paper include: i) a new CGSOSMLFC is investigated utilizing only output variables; ii) a global steadiness of the MRLPS is ensured by eliminating the hitting phase in traditional sliding mode control (TSMC), and the undesirable high-frequency vacillation marvel in the control signal is efficiently lessened by utilizing the second-order sliding mode control technique. Firstly, a novel estimator is constructed to conjecture the immeasurable state variables of the MRLPS. Then, an estimator-based CGSOSMLFC is synthesized to force the states of the controlled plant into the anticipated switching surface at an instance time and attenuate the chattering phenomenon in the control indication. Additionally, the total MRLPS’s stability analysis is executed by applying the Lyapunov function theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI), confirming the practicability and reliability of the method. Lastly, simulation outcomes on a three-zone linked power system are furnished to authenticate the usefulness and advantages of the proposed technique.

Minh Duc Pham , Duong Nguyen Trong Qui , Truong Phuoc Hoa
This paper explores an enhanced method for regulating the speed of brushless DC (BLDC) motors using field-oriented control. Conventionally, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is employed to adjust output speed and current FOC method. While the PI controller is effective in many scenarios, it exhibits limitations including poor performance when the speed reference changes rapidly. To address these limitations, a fuzzy-PI control scheme is proposed in this study with the aim of improving the speed control performance of BLDC motors, especially under rapidly changing speed reference. The proposed two separate fuzzy logic controllers adaptively adjust the proportional and integral gains so that it combines the robustness of fuzzy logic with the steady-state error of PI control. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the fuzzy-PI control significantly outperforms the conventional PI controller in terms of BLDC stability, response time, and accuracy. The proposed approach ensures more reliable and efficient speed regulation for BLDC motors, making it a reliable solution for applications where speed reference fluctuate frequently.

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i4.pp2655-2664
Lakshmi Dhandapani , Pushpa Sreenivasan , Malathy Batumalay
This paper proposes a high-efficiency maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on a variable step size control technique for standalone hybrid solar-wind energy systems. Unlike conventional approaches that utilize separate MPPT controllers for photovoltaic (PV) and wind systems, the proposed method integrates a single adaptive control strategy that simultaneously optimizes power extraction from both renewable sources. The algorithm dynamically adjusts the step size according to environmental variations, improving convergence speed and tracking accuracy. The system is modeled in MATLAB/Simulink, incorporating a 500 W solar PV system and a 560 W wind turbine, both interfaced through traditional boost converters. To validate the performance, simulations are conducted under varying solar irradiance levels (600 W/m², 800 W/m², and 1000 W/m²) and wind speeds (8 m/s, 10 m/s, and 12 m/s). Results indicate that the PV output power increases from 288.8 W to 513 W with rising irradiance, while the wind output improves from 301.4 W to 439.3 W with increasing wind speed. The combined hybrid system achieves total output powers of 557.35 W, 691.74 W, and 807.12 W across three operating intervals. These findings confirm that the proposed variable step size MPPT algorithm significantly enhances energy harvesting efficiency and system performance under dynamic environmental conditions.

Two key indicators of a battery management system (BMS) are the state of charge (SoC) and the state of health (SoH). Accurately estimating SoC is important to prevent potential issues. Additionally, space, computing time, and cost are important factors in hardware development. To address these considerations, the first-order extended Kalman filter (EKF) and adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) models were selected due to their simpler data pre-processing and better accuracy. The study recommends using the first-order equivalent circuit model (ECM) method in conjunction with the EKF and AEKF algorithms due to their straightforward setup and efficient computational process. Analysis of the charge-discharge cycles shows that the AEKF method consistently outperformed the EKF method regarding SoC accuracy. Moreover, when given different initial SoC values, the AEKF method displayed superior SoC estimation accuracy compared to the EKF method. Moreover, while the accuracy of the EKF is diminished, the error value remains below 2.5% for up to 500 cycles. Additionally, the shorter computing time of the EKF method is a consideration for practical real-world implementation. Furthermore, experiments conducted over 500 cycles revealed that SoH estimation declined from 99.97% to 76.1947%, suggesting that the battery has reached the end of life (EOL) stage.

In this study, a new integrated circuit design called H-bridge multilevel inverter matrix converter (HMIMC), which combines a multilevel inverter (MI), a matrix converter (MC), and an H-bridge circuit, is developed. It aims to generate a high number of output voltage levels that reduce the component count (CC). The MI step is used to control the positive voltage source, where the output of MI is connected to the input of MC. The MC is used to share the positive input voltage due to output phases, depending on the requirements. Afterward, the H-bridge circuit is used in each phase to select the positive or negative output voltage. The main contribution of this design is that the MI does not need to be repeated thrice to produce a three-phase output voltage. A seven-level (7L) and thirteen-level (13L) of proposed circuit is presented, followed by a new algorithm operation that is used for suitable switching control. Afterward, MATLAB simulation is used to check the operation process, output signals of voltage and current, and total harmonic distortion (THD) results.
