The sustainability of using coal, oil, and natural gas as the main energy sources faces, however, substantial obstacles. Fuel cells, batteries, and super-capacitors have the highest energy densities, but due to their high-power density and rapid charge-discharge speed, regular dielectric capacitors are becoming more popular for pulsed power applications. High electric breakdown strength and high maximum but low-remnant (zero in the case of linear dielectrics) polarization are necessary for high energy density in dielectric capacitors. The high performance, multi-functionality, and high integration of electronic devices are made possible in large part by the multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Due to their low cost, compact size, wide capacitance range, low ESL and ESR, and excellent frequency response, MLCCs play a significan...

However, despite advances in the field, effective vehicle drive control remains a critical challenge that must be addressed to realize the full potential of AEVs. This study presents a novel approach to AEV drive control for concurrently generating a suitable speed profile and controlling the vehicle drive speed along a planned path that takes into account various driving circumstances that mimic real-world driving. The designed strategy is divided into two parts: The first part presents a proposed speed planning algorithm (SPA) that works on developing an adequate speed profile for vehicle navigation; first, the algorithm uses an approach for identifying sharp curves on the predefined trajectory; secondly, based on the dynamic properties of these curves, it generates an appropriate speed profile to ensure smooth vehicle ...

Industrial metrology plays a major role in ensuring the quality of the data collected by the sensors. To guarantee that the values collected by the sensors are reliable, it is necessary to have metrological traceability made by successive calibrations from higher standards to the sensors used in the factories. To ensure the reliability of the data, a calibration strategy must be put in place. Usually, sensors are only calibrated on a periodic basis; so, they often go for calibration without it being necessary or collect data inaccurately. In addition, the sensors are checked often, increasing the need for manpower, and sensor errors are frequently overlooked when the redundant sensor has a drift in the same direction. It is necessary to acquire a calibration strategy based on the sensor condition. Through online monitoring of sensor calibration status ...

However, this winding configuration brings high AC losses during high-speed operation and we require new approaches to tackle this challenge. This paper considers reducing AC losses by proposing two main methods: correct transposition of conductors in parallel paths, and enhancing the number of conductor layers in a slot. First, the proper connection of conductors in parallel paths is considered, and the essential rules for this purpose are described. Next, the paper uses a numerical approach to deal with the effect of incorrect conductor transposition in winding paths on generating additional AC losses due to circulating currents. Finally, the impact of the number of conductor layers in the mitigation of AC losses is also discussed in detail. According to the results, by increasing the number of layers, ohmic lo...

This model couples the lumped parameter thermal network and coolant network together to utilize the impact of the coolant’s temperature rising over the machine. Furthermore, the advanced multi-planes technique provides a more precise and higher resolution temperature distribution of various machine sections. Therefore, the machines are divided into five planes; three belong to the active part, and two are added to model the machine’s drive and non-drive end-regions. Furthermore, the paper pays special attention to describing the challenges and providing solutions to them during the heat transfer modeling and analysis. Finally, the analytical model is verified using experimental results on a synchronous generator with a salient pole rotor and an open self-ventilation (OSV) cooling system by comparing the analytical and experimental results. As a result, good correspondence between th...

Unfortunately, the power electronic components required to drive LEDs are unable to compete with LED devices in terms of lifetime. Aluminum electrolytic capacitor (AEC) failures represent the root cause of power electronic equipment breakdown, mainly through both aging and temperature effects. This highlights the importance of designing robust power converter architectures and control methods that allow the evaluation of the condition of electrolytic capacitors while maintaining the performance of converter controllers, even in the presence of capacitor failure. On this basis, this work proposes a novel condition-monitoring system for the diagnosis of capacitor faults on a fault-tolerant LED driver, which is able to deal with the specific architecture and low ratings of the...

Sustainability is a recurrent theme of existing studies and will be a concern in coming decades. As a result, equipment with a smaller environmental footprint is being continually developed. This paper presents a method to evaluate asset depreciation with an emphasis on the maintenance investment, technology depreciation, sustainability depreciation, and technological upgrade investment. To demonstrate the value added of the proposed model, it was compared with existing models that do not take the previously mentioned aspects into consideration. The econometric model is consistent with asset life cycle plans as part of the Strategic Asset Management Plan o...
