A technique for the reduction in the CPU-time in the analysis of electromagnetic problems using the Characteristic Basis Function Method (CBFM) is presented here, allowing for analysis of electrically large cases where an iterative solution process cannot be avoided. This technique is based on the use of the Adaptive Cross Approximation (ACA) for the fast computation of the coupling matrix between CBFs belonging to adjacent blocks, as well as the Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) for the computation of matrix−vector products in the solution of the full system. This combination allows for a noticeable reduction in the computational resources during the analysis of electrically large and complex scenarios while maintaining a very good degree of accuracy. A number of test cases serve to validate the presented approach in terms of accuracy, memory and CPU-time compared with conventional techniques. Full article

Electric vehicles are becoming a mainstay of road transport. However, the uneven distribution of the electric vehicle charging piles in cities has led to the problem of “mileage anxiety”. This has become a significant concern of consumers in purchasing electric vehicles. At the same time, it also hinders the development of the electric vehicle industry. For this reason, this paper designs an electric vehicle energy mutual aid device. In the event that the power battery of an electric vehicle is low on energy and there are no suitable charging piles around, the device can also seek energy supplementation from surrounding electric vehicles with sufficient energy. This device should satisfy the characteristics of wide gain, high power, small size, and light weight. Firstly, the quadratic boost converter and its state space model are constructed. It uses only one electrical switching element to realize the light weight of the device, and it also provides wide voltage gain to fulfill the needs of electric vehicle charging. Secondly, an improved voltage mode controller is proposed to address the shortcomings of the conventional voltage mode controller of the quadratic boost converter. It avoids the tradeoff between the transient and steady-state performance due to the integration action of the conventional voltage mode controller. Also, this controller uses less feedback to make the controlled system output the required DC power, reducing the weight of the device. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed energy mutual aid device is verified by simulations and experiments. Full article

This paper presents a method to optimize and simplify the electrode profile of a piezoelectric modal sensor. At the same time that the electrode profile is optimized to maximize the charge, a null-polarity phase is introduced. This gap-phase is modeled using the normalized norm of the spatial gradient of the polarity profile along with a two-step filtering and projection technique. High-order vibration modes generate a complex polarization profile that makes the manufacturing process difficult. The novelty of the proposed method is the addition of a constraint on the length of the interface in the topology optimization problem. This constraint simplifies the optimal designs and facilitates the fabrication process. Several examples show the simplified electrode profile that maximizes the electrical charge produced by a vibration mode, while reducing the number of different polarization regions by means of the gap-length constraint.

Piezoelectric semiconductor materials possess a unique combination of piezoelectric and semiconductor effects, exhibiting multifaceted coupling properties such as electromechanical, acoustic, photoelectric, photovoltaic, thermal, and thermoelectric capabilities. This study delves into the anti-plane mechanical model of an interface crack between a strip of piezoelectric semiconductor material and an elastic material. By introducing two boundary conditions, the mixed boundary value problem is reformulated into a set of singular integral equations with a Cauchy kernel. The details of carrier concentration, current density, and electric displacement near the crack are provided in a numerical analysis. The findings reveal that the distribution of the current density, carrier concentration, and electric displacement is intricately influenced by the doping concentration of the piezoelectric semiconductor. Moreover, the presence of mechanical and electric loads can either expedite or decelerate the growth of the crack, highlighting the pivotal role of external stimuli in influencing material behavior.

Distributed renewable sources are one of the most promising contributors for DC microgrids to reduce carbon emission and fuel consumption. Although the battery energy storage system (BESS) is widely applied to compensate the power imbalance between distributed generators (DGs) and loads, the impacts of disturbances, DGs, constant power loads (CPLs) and cyber attacks on this system are not simultaneously considered. Based on this, a distributed fuzzy output consensus control strategy is proposed to realize accurate current sharing and operate normally in the presence of denial of service (DoS) attacks and false data injection (FDI) attacks. Firstly, the whole model of the BESS in DC microgrids embedded into disturbance items, DGs, CPLs and resistive loads, is firstly built. This model could be further transformed into standard linear heterogeneous multi-agent systems with disturbance, which lays the foundation for the following control strategy. Then the model of FDI and DoS attacks are built. Meanwhile, the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is applied to reduce the burden of communication among batteries. Based on these, a distributed output consensus fuzzy control is proposed to realize accurate current sharing among batteries. Moreover, the system under the proposed control in different cases is analyzed. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed control strategy is verified by numerical simulation results and experiment results. Full article

A frequency/phase/amplitude estimator is arguably one of the most crucial components in the control and synchronization of grid-connected equipment. Such an estimator may also be useful for monitoring and protection purposes in power systems. In this paper, an open-loop (and therefore unconditionally stable) estimator for the accurate and rapid extraction of the grid voltage phase, frequency, and amplitude is presented. In designing the proposed technique, special focus is given to applications operating at a low sampling rate. Examples of such applications include high-power converters, where both switching and sampling frequencies are very low. The study concludes with a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed estimator, demonstrating its effectiveness in accurately and swiftly estimating the fundamental parameters of grid voltage under low sampling rates. It highlights the estimator’s enhanced performance in scenarios of distorted grid conditions and its superiority in filtering capabilities compared to traditional methods. These findings underline the estimator’s potential for broad applicability in power system monitoring, protection, and control. Full article

This paper considers the equipment and power supply schemes for urban water supply, heat supply and sewerage pumping stations. Mathematical calculations of the impact of the static and full centrifugal pumps pressure ratio on the dynamic stability of synchronous electric motors were carried out. An analysis of the influence of pump parameters and engine load on the run-down parameters and drive stability during power shutdowns was carried out. It has been theoretically proven and practically confirmed that ensuring the stability of pumping station drives and the reduction in enterprise losses during various short-term disruptions in power supply networks can be provided by means of a high-speed backup source with a response time of less than 9 ms, dynamic voltage dip compensators with a response time of less than 3 ms and uninterruptible power supply sources.
