Abstract This work presents the design and implementation of a low-cost device for measuring global solar irradiation based on a reference photovoltaic cell. The device operates by measuring the short-circuit current of the photovoltaic cell, which is proportional to the incident solar irradiation. The short-circuit current is measured using a shunt resistor, and the resulting voltage across the shunt resistor is scaled using an operational amplifier circuit. The scaled voltage is then fed into an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for further processing. The Arduino Uno platform is used to process the ADC data and display the measured solar irradiation in real time. The device is implemented using the Proteus simulation environment. The design has been successfully tested and validated, and the device is shown to be accurate and reliable. The device can be used in a number of applications, such as monitoring solar irradiation in stand-alone or grid-connected photovoltaic power plants.

Abstract Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. Power systems are significantly hampered by the flashovers phenomenon, which can cause outages and raise safety issues. Prediction accuracy is crucial for preserving grid reliability. In this paper a tailored model for the prediction of the flashover voltage of the 1512L insulator was made using RSM central composite design and compared to a network created using a feed forward artificial neural network. Both the models would take the conductivity and the level of pollution as an input. By making two networks in ANN one with a small portion of the data and another with the full set of data a comparison between the two methods is made to see the advantages and disadvantages of each method compared to the other.

Abstract One of the world's oldest renewable energy sources is solar energy, which may be easily harnessed to lessen dependency on energy derived from hydrocarbons and is readily available. Data on solar radiation are crucial for the planning, development, and operation of energy and renewable energy systems. Numerous considerations had a role in the decision to locate the solar power plant in Ain El-Melh. First and foremost, the site's accessibility was essential since Ain El-Melh is near transportation hubs, making it simple to relocate workers and construction equipment. Solar irradiance is necessary to calculate several aspects of system performance connected to the sun, such as the size and efficiency of renewable energy systems. The objective of this study is to use real meteorological data to develop an artificial neural network-based forecast model for the Ain El-Melh region. The results allowed for the selection of this approach because of its advantages that were specific to the problem at hand.

The device can be used in a number of applications, such as monitoring solar irradiation in stand-alone or grid-connected photovoltaic power plants. : In electric transmission lines,, the insulators must be able to endure transient over voltages caused by lightning, operational shocks, and sandstorms on the insulating surface, as well as electrical strains during typical operating circumstances (over a broad range).

Abstract The main insulation layer is the most important layer of the high-voltage cable, and the quality of this material directly affects the life of the cable. It is also known that Heterogeneous cavities associated partial discharges in the insulation can affect the service life of cables. In this paper, we use the COMSOL Multiphysics software, which is based on the finite element method in AC/DC, 2D electrostatic. Heterogeneous cavities, such as bowtie water trees, vented cavities, and air void cavities, are easily damaging to XLPE power cables. This paper studies the electrical constraints within an XLPE-insulated cable containing micro-cavities. Due to the possibility of partial discharge (PD), it is crucial to be aware of the existence of heterogeneous cavities in insulating materials before using them as cable insulation. This study examines the impact of having such diverse voids in the insulation of high-voltage cables. Additionally, using the COMSOL tool, the impact of altering the cavity's position and size on the PD behavior under various operating circumstances was examined. The obtained results are in good agreement. Keywords: Heterogeneous cavities, Electric field and potential, cables.

Abstract The solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is broadly used for distributed and clean power generation. The main problem related to SOFC lies in the difficulties to control the output voltage of the SOFC due to the strong nonlinearity, the rapid changes of the load and the limited fuel flow. The objective of the control of the SOFC system is to maintain the output voltage at a constant level and the fuel utilization rate in a safety interval. In this context, a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy dynamic model with feed forward input is used in this study to describe the dynamic properties of the nonlinear voltage and the fuel utilization rate in a tubular SOFC system. This obtained fuzzy model will be used for the application of constrained fuzzy model predictive control. The simulation results are provided to show the accuracy and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Abstract In this study, we examine an approach to control the reactive powers of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) through optimal feedback linearization control (FLC). To achieve this we utilize the artificial bee colony (ABC) based controller. Our aim is to address the limitations of tuning methods by proposing an algorithm that generates gains, for the PI controller. This will ultimately enhance the performance of FLC DFIG response. We validate our control strategy using MATLAB SIMULINK with a 1.5 MW DFIG wind turbine. The simulation results demonstrate that the optimal feedback linearization control significantly improves performance compared to feedback linearization control as evidenced by reduced overshoot steady state error and settling time.

Abstract This study introduces a deadbeat control method designed specifically for a single-phase inverter used in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. The proposed control method necessitates the measurement of both capacitor current and output voltage in order to maintain sinusoidal output voltage and achieve high dynamic performance, even in the presence of load variations. The deadbeat controller aims to eliminate discrepancies between the output voltage and voltage reference, there by optimising the controller's performance without requiring additional current sensors. Furthermore, the deadbeat controller aims to counteract load voltage distortion and restore the system's state in the event of an external closed-loop disturbance. In order to address this drawback, we suggest employing a Luenberger observer to estimate the current of the capacitor.

Abstract One of the most important power quality problems, current harmonics has generated a lot of study attention. The greatest way to reduce harmonic contamination is to use a shunt active power filter (SAPF), however, its efficiency is entirely reliant on how quickly and precisely its control algorithms can work. This study investigates the functioning of a four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF) under unbalanced load situations using a simulation of a three-phase four-wire shunt active power filter (SAPF) decreased current measurement control technique caused by nonlinear loads. The suggested method for correcting the load's reactive power and harmonic currents is effective, according to simulation results produced by Matlab/Simulink.

Abstract Due to its multiple advantages in industrial and grid-connected applications, Multi-Level Inverters (MLIs) have increased in popularity in recent years. To improve the efficiency of a grid-connected PV system's integrated multi-level inverter fractional order PI (FOPI) controllers are used to describe the control process. The control system is made up of three control loops based on FOPI controllers: one for controlling the intermediate circuit voltage (Vdc) and the other two for controlling the direct and quadratic currents (Id, Iq) supplied by the multilevel inverter. The proposed controller parameters (Kp, KI, λ)must be selected in order to increase the efficiency of the multi-level inverter while decreasing the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output current of the inverter as well as voltage. For this we used three meta-heuristic algorithms (PSO, ABC, GWO). The performance of the three controllers PSO-FOPI, ABC-FOPI and GWO-FOPI controller is compared. The findings showed that GWO-FOPI performs better than the other PSO-FOPI and ABC-FOPI in accuracy and total harmonic distortion THD term. The simulation will be conducted using Matlab/Simulink.

Abstract. These Applications of fractional calculus are becoming more and more effective, adaptable, and have produced positive outcomes in a variety of engineering and scientific domains. In this paper, a fuzzy fractional-order PI-based control approach for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems is presented. The various advantages of multi-level inverters (MLIs) in industrial and grid-connected applications have resulted to their increasing application in recent years. A five-level neutral point (NPC) inverter is used to integrate PV electricity into the electrical grid with minimal harmonic distortions and highest power capacity. The output voltage of the inverter must be maintained in order to connect to a grid, even though that the photovoltaic output voltage varies considerably with solar radiation. To achieve this, three fuzzy fractional order PI (FFOPI) controllers were used to control the inverter output voltage (Vdc), direct current (Id), and quadratic current (Iq) around a reference values. A further comparison is made with the fuzzy PI (FPI). According to research, the FFOPI controller outperforms the FPI controller in terms of performance.

Abstract In this paper, a deadbeat control technique for single-phase inverters used in UPS applications is presented. For the suggested control approach to maintain sinusoidal output voltage for high dynamic performance even with load fluctuations, measurements of capacitor current and output voltage are necessary. By reducing the error between the output voltage and the voltage reference without adding more current sensors, the deadbeat controller improves the performance of the proposed controller. It also reduces load voltage distortion and restores the system state in the event of an external shutdown-loop road interference. We suggest a capacitor current estimation based on the Luenberger observer to address this flaw. PROCESSOR-IN-THE-LOOP The "P.I.L" test method, which can be thought of as an expensive system, enables us to create and evaluate controllers by running built-in C code on the DSP scheduled for the controller during simulated PSIM power phase control. To address this drawback, we propose a capacitor current estimation based on the Luenberger observer.

ABSTRACT This article introduces a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) source combined with a multi-level inverter. A converter five-level neutral point (NPC) can be used to integrate the PV power into the power grid with minimum harmonic distortions and high power capacity. If the output voltage of the PV generator varies significantly with solar radiation, the output voltage of the ripple must be fixed. For this reason, a regulation loop was used. In this study, we used a classical PI regulator. It is difficult to determine the PI controller transaction values, so Genetic Algorithm was used to optimize the PI controller parameters. The Matlab/Simulink simulation results show the better performance and efficiency of the PI controller optimized by the GA, in comparison to the stand-alone PI controller, regarding stability and accuracy, and the reduction of Total Harmonic Distortions (THD) of the current injected into the grid for any difference in solar radiation.

Abstract The knowledge of the behavior of both the electric potential and electric field is one of the main factors needed when designing an insulator. Using AutoCAD software a 2D cap and pin 1512L insulator model was created in the clean state and under pollution from one to five insulators separately making a chain of insulators for a total of 10 models. Later they are imported to COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 software, simulations of the 1512L insulator were made to see the effect the pollution has and the differences that occur on the distribution with the addition of more insulators in the chain. The potential distribution starts to develop a pattern after a certain number of insulators in the chain while the pollution induces high value spikes in the field distribution.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a dead-beat control algorithm for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) applications of single-phase inverters. The proposed control method requires the measurement of capacitor current and output voltage in order to keep the output voltage sinusoidal ensuring high dynamic performance even under load changes. The dead-beat controller optimizes the behavior of the system by eliminating the error between the output and the reference voltage without increasing the number of current sensors, which are costly, and eliminates load voltage distortions and restores the system state in the event of external shutdown-loop road interference. In this paper, we propose a capacitor current estimation based on theLuenberger observer. Processor-In-the-Loop (PIL) is a test method that allows us to create and evaluate controllers by running built-in C code on the DSP scheduled for the controller during simulated PSIM power phase control. It can be seen that the simulation results match the PIL test results, which proves the validity of the proposed controller.

Abstract Distributed photovoltaic units are frequently interconnected with the electric grid through the utilisation of single-phase inverters. The voltage and frequency at which the grid operates are not fixed, but rather can vary within the limits set by international norms. In addition, there is a continuous tightening of standards for power factor correction, total harmonic distortion, and dependability. Since grid operating conditions are dynamic, it is crucial to implement control algorithms that are both dependable and efficient, with flexible control parameters. With the goal of improving the efficiency and reducing the total harmonic distortion of the output current, this paper explores the topology of a single-phase inverter's configuration and its control algorithm. Therefore, deadbeat controllers that are continuously tuned based on the actual grid frequency are proposed as a solution to the control architecture with an appropriate Phase Locked Loop PLL, which addresses some practical issues with the control algorithm.

In this chapter, we are interested on the design and the realization of a new solar air heater test bench to investigate the efficiency of the solar system. The considered test bench consists of two passages solar air heater separated by an absorber and powered by a fan working in a delivery mode. On the glass side, it is connected to the box prototype through a pipe. On this system, a glass is hanging on the front side and an absorber is inserted inside. The hot air flow is routed towards the box prototype. Two circular holes are located in the same face of the box prototype. The inlet hole allows the hot air supply. However, the outlet hole allows its escape into the ambient environment. Indeed, we have developed numerical simulations to study the turbulent flow in the considered test bench over the day. In these conditions, it has been observed a decrease in the flow and an appearance of the recalculation zones in the first passage. This phenomenon is more prominent during the transition of the flow to the second passage. However, the flow becomes uniform until the exit of the solar air heater. Via the pipe separating the solar air heater from the box prototype, a discharge area appears in the hole inlet and invaded the reverse wall. By comparing the local characteristics for the different instances, a similar appearance has been observed with a maximum value at t=12 hours. For the magnitude velocity, a small difference between the calculated values has been noted. However, this difference is more clear for the temperature distribution and the turbulent characteristics. For the energy efficiency, it presents very low values at the beginning of the day. With the increase of the temperature through the day, there is a gradual increase of the energy efficiency until t=12 hours, with a value equal to η= 31,8%. This technology will be very useful since it can provide sustainable energy and substitute the expensive traditional technologies.

In this chapter, the impact of the numerical parameters on the heat ventilation was studied in a box prototype. Particularly, a computational study and an experimental validation have been developed to compare the standard k-ω turbulence model, the BSL k-ω turbulence model, the SST k-ω turbulence model, the standard k-ɛ turbulence model, the RNG k-ɛ turbulence model and the Realizable k-ɛ turbulence model. From the obtained results, it is noticed that the aerodynamic characteristics present the same emergence nevertheless the maximum values depend on the turbulence model. Particularly, it has been noted that the value founded with the standard k-ω turbulence model is nearest to the experimental results. This study tends to show that the standard k-ω turbulence model is the most efficient to study the air flow in the box prototype. For this model, the meshing effect on the CFD results was studied to choose the adequate mesh with a minimum calculated time. The numerical results were compared using experimental results developed in our laboratory. The good agreements confirm the numerical method.

Abstract: As transmission line voltages increase, the importance of insulator pollution research increases significantly. To determine the flashover behavior of contaminated high-voltage insulators and to determine the physical mechanism behind the phenomenon, the researchers were led to develop a model. This paper describes the application of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to estimate the breakdown voltage of contaminated insulators. The results obtained are promising and ensure that the ANFIS technique can estimate the critical breakdown voltage of newly designed insulators with different operating conditions and represents an indispensable model for field simulations of different parameters of contaminated insulators. Keywords: high voltage, insulators, fuzzy logic, polluted level, conductivity.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a dead-beat control algorithm for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) applications of single-phase inverters. The proposed control method requires the measurement of capacitor current and output voltage in order to keep the output voltage sinusoidal ensuring high dynamic performance even under load changes. The dead-beat controller optimizes the behavior of the system by eliminating the error between the output and the reference voltage without increasing the number of current sensors, which are costly, and eliminates load voltage distortions and restores the system state in the event of external shutdown-loop road interference. In this paper, we propose a capacitor current estimation based on the Luenberger observer. Processor-In-the-Loop (PIL) is a test method that allows us to create and evaluate controllers by running built-in C code on the DSP scheduled for the controller during simulated PSIM power phase control. It can be seen that the simulation results match the PIL test results, which proves the validity of the proposed controller.

ABSTRACT This article introduces a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) source combined with a multi-level inverter. A converter five-level neutral point (NPC) can be used to integrate the PV power into the power grid with minimum harmonic distortions and high power capacity. If the output voltage of the PV generator varies significantly with solar radiation, the output voltage of the ripple must be fixed. For this reason, a regulation loop was used. In this study, we used a classical PI regulator. It is difficult to determine the PI controller transaction values, so Genetic Algorithm was used to optimize the PI controller parameters. The Matlab/Simulink simulation results show the better performance and efficiency of the PI controller optimized by the GA, in comparison to the stand-alone PI controller, regarding stability and accuracy, and the reduction of Total Harmonic Distortions (THD) of the current injected into the grid for any difference in solar radiation.

Abstract: In this paper, the response surface methodology (RSM) is used to predict the flashover voltage of a cap and pin 1512L insulator used by SONELGAZ Algerian Power Company (SPE). The pollution and conductivity are studied using a two-level central composite design. MINITAB 19 software is used to perform the regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the data, from which the full quadratic model is developed. The results show that both the pollution and conductivity have a significant effect on the response. The model validation shows the good agreement between the experiment’s obtained results and the predicted results. Therefore, the model could be used to predict the flashover voltage.

Abstract This paper proposes training an artificial neural network (ANN) by a particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to predict the flashover voltage of outdoor insulators. The analysis follows a series of real-world tests on high-voltage insulators to form a database for implementing artificial intelligence concepts. These tests are performed in various degrees of artificial contamination (distilled brine). Each contamination level shows the amount of contamination in milliliters per area of the isolator. The acquisition database provides values of flashover voltage corresponding to their electrical conductivity in each isolation zone and different degrees of artificial contamination. The results show that ANN trained by PSO can not only provide better prediction results, but also reduce the amount of computation efforts. It is also a more powerful model because: it does not get stuck in a local optimum. In addition, it also has the advantages of simple logic, simple implementation, and underlying intelligence. Compared to the results obtained by practical tests, the results obtained present that the PSO-ANN technique is very effective to predict flashover of high-voltage polluted insulators.

Abstract: This paper is intended to check the thermal convection flow during a new solar air heater (SAH) test bench, which is conducted in the LASEM laboratory. In fact, the applied system includes two-passage heater solar air separated by an absorber. On the other hand, a glass piece is connected to the box prototype via a pipe. Then, the piece of the glass is attached to the front side of this device in which an absorber is inserted. Moreover, two circular holes are made on the same face of the box prototype. The first is an entry hole through which hot air goes inside, and an exit hole through which air is released into the surrounding area. The study was conducted using the Navier-Stokes equations associated with the k–ω turbulence model through the use of the newly released Ansys 17.0 software to characterize the aero-thermal structure of our new system operating in natural convection. In these conditions, it has been observed that the hot zone created on the mirror side receiving the solar radiation generates an ascendant movement. It goes from the bottom to the top and enters the box prototype. The same phenomenon is also created in the box where the airflow coming from the solar heat escapes into the environment. This movement created between the hot zone of the solar heat and the box prototype is also imposed in the cold zone of the solar heat on the heat-insulating side. In these conditions, the air movement is however from the top to the bottom. Indeed, the acceleration of the air velocity at the inlet of the solar heat is due to the change of the section which is more reduced by comparison to the rest of the air circulation duct. Based on our experimental results generated in a two-passage solar air heater connected to the box prototype, the computational approach and the simulation results were validated. By referring to the classic solar air heater with one passage, the energy efficiency measured in the same conditions was enhanced and presented the efficient one with an improvement of about 27%. Finally, the numerical results are compared to our experimental results and those obtained by the authors. The comparison proved a good agreement.

Abstract: The control of a DC/AC converter to provide a cost sinusoidal wave required in many application, is a challenging task. In the present paper, the deadbeat control algorithm has been proposed to generate a nearly sinusoidal waveform with zero steady-state error and low total harmonic distortion (THD). The controller is based on the output measurements to generate the required modulating signal (pulse-width), for controlling a single phase inverter. The derived deadbeat control algorithm requires the measurement of both capacitor current and output voltage which can be considered as a costly system. To tackle this disadvantage, we propose an estimation of the capacitor current based on Luenberger observer. The simulation results have confirmed the validity of the deadbeat control based current observer to enhance the output voltage, in the linear and nonlinear loads.

Abstract: The widespread integration of renewable energy sources with the traditional power systems causes a considerable impact, such as the decrease of total inertia, damping properties and large frequency deviation. To tackle this issue, several literature proposed the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) emulation as an effective solution applied to power electronics inverters, i.e., grid forming and grid supporting power converters. In this paper, the VSG emulator in grid feeding structure is investigated within a simple week grid in order to bring support capabilities to the frequency and amplitude deviation. The frequency nadir at the point of common cohesion (PCC) can be reduced when more active power is required, whereas the voltage amplitude is reduced with reactive power demand. The small signal modeling of the VSG is addressed, taking into consideration inertia and damping variations to assess the transient response of active power and frequency during power variation. In order to validate the theoretical concepts, simulation tests have been carried out using PSIM platform.

Abstract—In this paper, a simulation of a barrier inserted in between two electrodes was made. The simulations took into account different conditions of the electrodes (point-plane, point-point, circle-plane and circle-circle) and the condition of the barrier (a barrier with and without a hole and pollution in the middle of the barrier). The software COMSOL Multiphysics, 5.6 version was used to simulate the effects these conditions have on the distributions of the electric potential and field (E-field). The results show that there big changes in the distributions under the different conditions where it be pollution or a hole in the barrier or even the electrodes shape.

Abstract The knowledge of the behavior of both the electric potential and electric field is one of the main factors needed when designing an insulator. Using AutoCAD software a 2D cap and pin 1512L insulator model was created in the clean state and under pollution from one to five insulators separately making a chain of insulators for a total of 10 models. Later they are imported to COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 software, simulations of the 1512L insulator were made to see the effect the pollution has and the differences that occur on the distribution with the addition of more insulators in the chain. The potential distribution starts to develop a pattern after a certain number of insulators in the chain while the pollution induces high value spikes in the field distribution.

Five phase fault tolerant ind uction motor (FPIM) with open end winding (OEW) can offer low torque ripple and it has a merit of high fault tolerant capability due to its large number of phases. In order to improve the operation performance under an open single phase . This paper propose s a Remedial Backstepping Control (RBSC) technique for a FPIM OEW with the ability to run the system before and after fault condition. Hence, the FPIM OEW losses are decreased, which improves the overall machine efficiency. The proposed RBSC technique lies in the orthogonal reduced order transformation matrix, which is derived from the fault tolerant current references, and a new zero sequence current related to torque ripple. Also, the effect of the open phase fault on the motor model under the transformat ion matrix is discussed. The simulation results of the proposed tec hnique under open single phase are provided , wherein we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy with a fast dynamic and steady state performances as that under healthy operation.

The solar air heater is a system which collects the radiation and transforms it into heat. The general idea is that the air is flowing through the solar collector and heat from the sun naturally raises the temperature of the air inside the collector. The advantage of this technology is that it is cheap and simple. The main objective of this work is to investigate the aerodynamic structure of the turbulent flow in a new solar air heater test bench, available in our LASEM laboratory. By using the ANSYS Fluent 17.0 software, the analysis was performed using the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the standard k-ω turbulence model. The computational method and the simulation results were validated based on our experimental results developed in a tow passage solar air heater connected to a box prototype. The range of temperatures is very useful in industrial and domestic applications. The obtained results will be considered to produce better comfort conditions in case of supplying rooms.

This paper investigates the unsteady state of the heat ventilation in a box prototype with two holes. The CFD simulations were conducted using ANSYS Fluent 17.0 software, which solves the Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the standard k-ω turbulence model and by a finite volume discretization method. The presented results, consisting of the distribution of the velocity fields, the temperature, the total pressure and the turbulent characteristics, are very useful to determine the time required for the heating operation and to shrink the energy consumption of the buildings. The comparison between the founded results affirms that the heating time presents a straight effect on the velocity fields. However, for the temperature, the box prototype requires more time and more energy to warm up. In our application, we confirm that the duration of 30 s is sufficient to allow the heating of the box prototype. Indeed, the numerical results compared using the experimental data developed in our laboratory confirms the validity of the numerical method. The good agreements validate the considered computational method.

The flashover of pollution, observed on the insulators used in high voltage transmission, is one of the most important power transmission stakes. It is a very complex problem due to several factors including the modelling difficulties of complex shapes of insulators, different pollution densities at different regions, non-homogeneous pollution distribution on the insulator surface and unknown effect of humidity on the pollution. In the literature, some static and dynamic models have been developed by making some assumptions and omissions to predict the flashover voltages of polluted insulators. This paper aims to experimentally analyse the flashover process and simulation of the distributions of the potential and the electric field under 50 Hz applied voltage on a real model simulating the 175CTV outdoor insulators largely used by the Algerian Company of Electricity and Gas (SONELGAZ). This real model is studied under non-polluted (distilled water), and polluted (distilled water and sand) environments. The simulations were carried out by using the COMSOL multiphysics software. This program uses the finite element method to solve the partial differential equations that describe the field. Experimental results made in the laboratory and simulation results are original and found to be congruent.

This paper designs an indirect power control method for brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG), in which the stator is attached to grid with back-to-back space vector modulation (SVM) converter that converts the generated wind power. Our control method is a sliding mode control based on the theory of variable structure control. Specifically, the active and reactive powers, which are exchanged between the stator of the BDFIG and the grid in a linear and decoupled manner, are subjected to decoupled, vector control. In addition, a proportional integral (PI) controller was implemented to keep the DC-voltage constant for the back-to-back SVM converter. The efficiency of our control strategy was validated through simulation. The research greatly promotes the control of renewable energy generators.

This paper proposes an investigation of dual three-phase SVM for six phase five-level inverter to control a Six Phase Induction Machine (SPIM). Therefore, a new modeling and control strategy of a five-level three-phase Diode Clamped Inverter (DCI) is presented. The obtained modeling shows that modulated five-level voltages are obtained by combination of eight different three-level functions, which are called modulation functions. The main idea is to control the six-phase five-level inverter as two three-phase five-level inverter separately by Space Vector Modulation of the five-level three-phase Separate DC Source (SDCS) inverter. This enables a great simplification of the algorithm control for six phase five-level inverter drive. In six phase SVM, to control the six-phase five-level inverters as two three-phase five-level inverter with the same three-phase five-level SVM. Whereas the first three-phase inverter is composed by 1, 3, and 5 phases and the second three-phase is composed by 2, 4 and 6 phases. The simulation results of the Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) of six-phase induction machine drive fed by stacked five-level inverters are given to highlight the performance of the proposed dual three phase SVM. Moreover, used five-level topologies reduce the currents THD distortion as well as the total semiconductor losses.

The vector control technique is one of the most effective strategies for an electric machines. It aims to provide a decoupled control of torque and flux via a simple command structure. However, the main problem associated with the vector control is sensitivity of changes in sudden load torque. This paper presents a sensorless robust control for Dual Star Induction Machine (DSIM) based on Field Oriented Control (FOC) using Load Torque Estimation (LTE) under low speed conditions, dual observer structures will be incorporated to the main FOC scheme. First, a Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) observer is employed to obtain the speed estimates. Then, to improve the performance of speed tracking and increase the robustness against disturbance in the external speed control loop a LTE is adopted. This estimator can ensure an accurate speed tracking and can improve the disturbance rejection ability of the speed loop, which ensures robust speed control under different load disturbances. Simulation results show that the sensorless FOC technique based on LTE has a fast dynamic, better load disturbances rejection.

This document has essentially consisted in presenting a recent technique that allows the performance of tool steels to be increased by the creation of chromium carbide having hig chh aracteristics. In fact, after electrolytic deposition of a thin layer of pure chromium with a mean thickness of 10 ?m, on the steels Z210Cr12 and 100Cr6, the samples (layer / substrate) were annealed in the interval (1000 - 1100 C° ). In this temperature range, the deposited film is graduall cyo nverted into chromium carbide. The phase transformation that took place mainly by substrate carbon diffusion in the lay ewr as determined by X-ray diffraction and metallographic analysis. The hardness and adhesion of the layers produced have evolv eadc cording to the treatment temperatures, their values thus obtained are in agreement with the evolution of the physicochemical properties determined by the physical means used.

Backstepping control technique is receiving increased attention due to its simplicity and robust dynamic response. In this paper, a approach to improve the performance of Backstepping control of open-end stator winding five-phase induction motor (OEW-FPIM) with the fundamental and harmonic currents is developed. The proposed control is based on SVPWM technique, where fast torque response with low ripple in the stator flux and torque of OEW-FPIM can be achieved. Simulation results clearly demonstrate a better performance of the proposed method, which suggest that the combination of Backstepping-SVPWM technique with multi-phase motor have a great practical prospect in motor drives.

Several investigators studied the natural convection heat transfer in tow passage solar air heater connected to a box prototype and much useful information is available in the literature. The use of the solar air collector is an effective technique to enhance the heat transfer to fluid flowing in the box prototype. In the present paper, we have developed numerical investigation of the natural convection flow in a new solar air heater test bench with two passages. By using the ANSYS Fluent 17.0 software, the analysis was performed using the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the standard k-ω turbulence model. Based on the developed results, solar radiation has been found to be the main parameter which characterizes the thermal behavior of the system. Besides, exergy analysis has been carried out, and optimum conditions in which the system has the highest performance have been determined.

This paper tackles robust power control of a grid-connected brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG). With the implementation of a super twisting algorithm which is high-order sliding mode controller (HOSMC). This approach guarantees both the dynamic performance and the same robustness of traditional first order (SMC) algorithm and reduces the chattering phenomenon, which is the biggest disadvantage in the implementation of this technique. The developed algorithm relies on the decoupling control by implementing the strategy of oriented grid flux vector control. In order to enhance the desired performances, an attempt is made by controlling the generated stator active and reactive power in a linear and decoupled manner to ensure the global asymptotical stability, HOSMC approach is implemented. Therefore, an optimal operation of the BDFIG in sub- synchronous operation is used in addition to the stator power flows where the stator power factor is kept in a unity. The suggested method is examined with the Matlab/ Simulink software. The performances and the feasibility of the designed control are illustrated by simulation results.

In this paper, a fault-tolerant control staretegy for five-phase induction motor with stator open-end winding (FPIM-OEW)in electric vehicle (EV) is presented. The proposed strategy is able to run the control system before and after speed-sensor fault condition. Hence, the FPIM-OEW losses are decreased, which improves the overall machine efficiency. The proposed fault-tolerant control is derived from a backstepping control (to compensate speed-sensor fault). The simulated results are provided to verify the proposed technique under speed-sensor fault condition, in comparaison with conventional backstepping control,the proposed strategy, provides a good dynamic performance particularly in reduction of torque oscillations.

The objective of this study is to predict the flashover voltage of a high-voltage insulator artificially contaminated using artificial intelligence (AI). First, practical tests were performed on a high-voltage insulator to collect a database used in the implementation of the artificial intelligence concept. These tests were realized for different levels of artificial pollution (saline distilled water). Each pollution level presented an amount of artificial pollution, in milliliters, in each petticoat (zone) of the insulator. The collecting database gives flashover voltage values corresponding to different amounts of artificial pollution in each insulator zone and its conductivity. Second, we have introduced fuzzy logic (FL) and artificial neural networks (ANN) as two AI techniques to predict the flashover voltage of the high-voltage insulator and to estimate the insulating state of artificial pollution. The proposed prediction concepts based on FL and ANN are implemented using MATLAB’s graphical user interface. Finally, a comparison was made between the results obtained by AI and practical ones. The database used in this comparison is different from that used in concepts based on FL and ANN implementation. The obtained results show a high efficacy of FL and ANN techniques in predicting the flashover voltage of high-voltage insulators compared with those obtained by practical tests.

In this work, the turbulent flow was studied in a new SAH (solar air heater) test bench. Particularly, we have considered the natural and the forced convection modes. The used test bench is composed by two passages separated by an absorber and powered by a fan working in a delivery mode, placed in the inlet side the insulation, for the forced convection mode. On this system, a glass is hanging on the front side and an absorber is inserted inside. On the glass side, it is connected to the box prototype through a pipe. The hot air flow is routed towards the box prototype. Two circular holes, are located in the same face of the box prototype. The inlet hole allows the hot air supply. However, the outlet hole allows its escape into the ambient environment. By using the ANSYS Fluent 17.0 software, the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the standard k-ω turbulence model were solved. The numerical results were compared with our experimental data, established in the second passage of the SAH test bench. The good agreement confirms the validity of the numerical method. The range of temperatures is very useful in many applications such as industrial and domestic applications.

The use of efficient systems in order to reduce the energy consumption presents in nowadays a great challenge. Indeed, the use of the renewable energy in the heat ventilation of building application becomes very crucial. In this work, we are interested on the study of the turbulent flow in a box prototype. In this prototype, a solar system is integrated to supply the hole inlet with a hot air. The numerical model is based on the resolution of the Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the standard k-ω turbulence model. These equations were solved by a finite volume discretization method using the commercial CFD code ANSYS Fluent 17.0. To accurate the numerical results, the meshing effect on the numerical results was studied to choose the optimal mesh with a minimum calculated time.

Brushless doubly fed induction generators (BDFIG) show commercial promise for wind-power generation due to their lower capital and operational costs and higher reliability as compared with doubly fed induction generators. This paper proposes a robust sliding mode control of grid-connected brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG). The developed algorithm is based on the decoupling control by using oriented grid flux vector control strategy. The decoupling of the active and the reactive stator powers insures an optimal performance of the BDFIG at the sub-synchronous region. The stator of this machine incorporates two sets of three phase windings with different number of poles, power winding (PW) and control winding (CW). The proposed method is tested with the Matlab/Simulink software. Simulation results illustrate the performances and the feasibility of the designed control.

The critical flashover voltage of a polluted insulator is a significant parameter for the reliability of power systems. Several approaches have been developed for the estimation of the flashover voltage. The main objective of our work is the implementation of an artificial intelligence method which is the artificial neural network (ANN) for the prediction of the flashover voltage of an artificially polluted high voltage insulator under MATLAB. This technique will have to take into account the variation of the conductivity and the level of pollution of the state of the insulator. The results obtained show that this method has been successfully applied. There is a good agreement between the calculated results and the experimental results.

This paper proposes a robust sliding mode control of grid-connected brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG) used in wind-energy conversion systems. The designed controller is based on the sliding mode control combined with the stator power winding flux oriented vector principle. The stator of this machine incorporates two sets of three phase windings with different number of poles, power winding (PW) and control winding (CW). An original control strategy that based on a variable structure control theory, called also sliding mode control (SMC), is applied to achieve independent control of active and reactive powers that has been developed and the performance of proposed block diagram of the variable speed constant-frequency (VSCF) wind energy generation system is validated in the Matlab/Simulink environment and the obtained computer simulation results confirm the effectiveness of this control strategy.

The Direct Torque Control (DTC) of induction motor (IM) constitutes a vast subject because its implementation requires no position sensor, and which are characterized by fast dynamic response for IM. However, the DTC technique uses the stator resistance (R s ) for estimation of the stator flux. Owing to this, the control has a disadvantage that the R s variation due to changes in temperature causes an estimation error of stator flux and hence in the electromagnetic torque, particularly during low-speed operation, this leads to a degraded performance of the DTC technique. Therefore, continuously estimated of the R s is required. In this paper, a method for stator resistance estimation of induction motor fed by a three-level neutral point clamped inverter based on DTC technique has been proposed in which the R s value is updated during operation. This estimation method is obtained using a fuzzy logic controller. The main objective of this estimation scheme is that the change of R s can be traced to compensate the effects and improve performance DTC. The system performance is verified by simulations. The results obtained have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a work devoted to the impact study of the pollution severity on the energy level dissipated on high voltage insulator. Pollution of high voltage insulators is a factor of prime importance in the quality and reliability of power transmission. It causes the circumvention of high voltage insulators. However, when it is wet, it causes the dissolution of salts and the formation of an electrolyte layer on the surface of insulators, thus reducing dielectric strength. Pollution generally poses few problems. However, when it is humid, it causes the dissolution of salts and the formation of an electrolytic layer on the insulator surfaces; as a result, it reduces their dielectric rigidity. The aim of this paper is the experimental study of the flashover process and the distributions of the potential and the electric field pollution carried out under 50 Hz applied voltage on a circular model simulating the 1512 L outdoor insulator largely used by the Algerian company of electricity and gas (SONELGAZ). This circular model is under different surface conductivity and different level of uniform discontinues pollution. The computer simulations are carried out by using the COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5 software. This program uses the finite element method to solve the partial differential equations that describe the field. Original experimental results made in the laboratory are presented and compared with a real insulator, and simulations presented in this paper are originals.
