Multiresponse Optimization To Improve The Torque Behavior Of An Outer-Rotor Permanent-Magnet Machine Using Gray Relational Analysis Based On The Taguchi Method, Yusuf Özoğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The torque behavior of an outer-rotor surface-mounted permanent-magnet machine is improved by identifying seven pertinent design variables, including rotor height. The optimal design variables are revealed by analyzing 18 experiments determined by the Taguchi method for the minimum torque ripple, minimum total harmonic distortion of the induced voltage, and maximum average torque. In addition, the optimal design variables are obtained very quickly by using gray relational analysis based on the Taguchi method with the single response of the gray relational grade instead of multiple responses. A considerable amount of multiresponse improvement is achieved according to the results of the two …

Modeling And Control Of A Permanent-Magnet Brushless Dc Motor Drive Using A Fractional Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller, Swapnil Khubalkar, Anjali Junghare, Mohan Aware, Shantanu Das
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper deals with the speed control of a permanent-magnet brushless direct current (PMBLDC) motor. A fractional order PID (FOPID) controller is used in place of the conventional PID controller. The FOPID controller is a generalized form of the PID controller in which the order of integration and differentiation is any real number. It is shown that the proposed controller provides a powerful framework to control the PMBLDC motor. Parameters of the controller are found by using a novel dynamic particle swarm optimization (dPSO) method. The frequency domain pole-zero (p-z) interlacing method is used to approximate the fractional order operator. …

Cavitation Detection In Centrifugal Pumps Using Pressure Time-Domain Features, Pouya Samanipour, Javad Poshtan, Hamed Sadeghi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Condition monitoring of centrifugal pumps is vital due to their crucial role in industries. One of the most prevalent faults in pumps is cavitation, which can cause mechanical faults or even failure in the pump. In this paper, an approach is suggested to detect cavitation in a centrifugal pump using time-domain analysis of the pressure signal residual. First, pressure and torque signals are obtained using a model of the electro-pump, and then pressure deviation from the pump performance curve is defined as a residual. The residual time-domain features are extracted and applied as inputs to a self-organizing map (SOM) neural …

In order to improve the efficiency and smoothness of a robot and reduce its vibration, an algorithm called the augmented Lagrange constrained particle swarm optimization (ALCPSO), which combines constrained particle swarm optimization with the augmented Lagrange multiplier method to realize time-jerk (defined as the derivative of the acceleration) optimal trajectory planning is proposed. Kinematic constraints such as joint velocities, accelerations, jerks, and traveling time are considered. The ALCPSO algorithm is used to avoid local optimization because a new particle swarm is newly produced at each initial time process. Additionally, the best value obtained from the former generation is saved and …

Fractional-Order Controller Design In Frequency Domain Using An Improved Nonlinear Adaptive Seeker Optimization Algorithm, Mano Ranjan Kumar, Vishwa Deepak, Subhojit Ghosh
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Two nonlinear adaptive versions of the conventional seeker optimization algorithm (SOA) have been proposed for the design of fractional-order controllers using frequency domain specifications. The highly nonlinear and undetermined nature of equations resulting from controller design specifications rules out obtaining a closed-form solution. In this regard, the controller design task has been formulated as an optimization problem and solved using modified variants of the SOA. With the nonlinear adaptation of tuning parameters, the proposed variants of the SOA increase the probability of finding global optima along with improved convergence speed. This has been achieved by incorporating exponential weighting and chaotic …

This research presents an active-only low-pass (LP) filter whose pole frequency and gain are independently tunable by means of bias current manipulation. The realization of the proposed LP filter required one operational amplifier, two operational transconductance amplifiers, and two MOS transistors. The multiphase sinusoidal oscillator (MSO) was subsequently realized by cascading $n$ LP filters ($n$ = 3) and loop-backing the output of the last LP filter to the input of the first LP filter. Simulations were carried out and the results revealed that the MSO could simultaneously achieve low impedance voltage and high impedance current outputs without the circuit topology …

A simple and accurate technique to compute essential parameters needed for electrical characterization of photovoltaic (PV) modules is proposed. A single-diode model of PV modules, including those with series and shunt resistances, is considered accurate and simple. However, PV module datasheets provided by manufacturers provide current-voltage ($I$-$V)$ characteristics as well as the values of selected parameters at standard test conditions (STC), i.e. solar radiation of 1000 W/m$^{2}$, air temperature of 25 $^{\circ}$C, and air mass AM = 1.5. Consequently, important parameters such as series resistance ($R_{s})$, shunt resistance ($R_{sh})$, photocurrent ($I_{ph})$, and diode reverse-saturation current ($I_{o})$ are not provided by …

In this paper, a novel microstrip diplexer with tunable bandwidths and switchable channels is presented by using dual-mode square loop resonators (DMSLRs). Two resonators at different electrical lengths are coupled to input and output ports with lumped capacitors, and the isolation between the output ports is optimized by means of these capacitors. In order to obtain tunable bandwidth in each channel, varactor diodes are located at the orthogonal corners of the proposed resonators. In addition, the proposed resonators have reference patch elements at the lateral arms to provide convenience of varactor diode capacitances, such as perturbation elements. Depending on the …

Invisibility cloaks can be constructed with electromagnetic metamaterials. In this paper, structural metamaterials are used to design an invisibility cloak. To this end, transformation optics is used to design electromagnetic parameters. These parameters are selected so that when we excite the cloak its presence does not perturb radiated fields. Therefore, we formulate the electric field both at the inner and outer parts of the cloak, when the excitation source is placed both inside and outside, and we show that the scattered fields will be suppressed due to its presence. Finally, simulation results verify that the invisibility cloak is well designed …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Diffraction of the $H$-polarized electromagnetic wave by a semi-infinite strip grating is considered. The scattered field is represented as a superposition of the field induced by the currents on the strips of an infinite periodic grating and the field induced by the correction current excited due to end of the grating. Singular integral equations with additional conditions for infinite and semi-infinite periodic gratings are obtained. The current on the strips and spectral function of scattered field are expressed in terms of the solution of these equations. Numerical results for the near and far fields distribution are represented.
