Condition Monitoring And Fault Tolerant Control Techniques In Electric Vehicle Drives, Hassan H. Eldeeb

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With the growth in the electric vehicles (EV) use, transportation electrification methodologies ensure improved reliability and security of the EVs and its powertrain as significant factors to consider. Any failure in the EV’s motor drive system or any of its components will directly impact the powertrain's reliability and passenger safety. Due to their robustness and mature design, EV powertrains utilize vector-controlled power inverter-fed induction motor (IM) as their drive system. Therefore, fast, reliable, non-destructive, and non-invasive fault diagnosis (FD) and condition monitoring (CM) techniques are required to detect faults in EV drive systems at their development stage.

Digital Twin-Based Cooperative Control Techniques For Secure And Intelligent Operation Of Distributed Microgrids, Ahmed Aly Saad Ahmed

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Networked microgrids play a key role in constructing future active distribution networks for providing the power system with resiliency and reliability against catastrophic physical and cyber incidents. Motivated by the increasing penetration of renewable resources and energy storage systems in the distribution grids, utility companies are encouraged to unleash the capabilities of the distributed microgrid to work as virtual power plants that can support the power systems. The microgrids nature is transforming the grid and their control systems from centralized architecture into distributed architectures. The distributed networked microgrids introduced many benefits to the future smart grids, it created many challenges …
