Solar-Powered VSI Speed Control of PMSM with Performance Analysis & Controller Optimization
2025-01-20 00:00 - 2025-01-22 00:00
Abstract: This study examines the integration of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) with renewable energy sources, focusing on solar photovoltaic (SPV) arrays to improve efficiency and sustainability in electric vehicle (EV) applications. PMSM, renowned for its high efficiency, silent operation, and precise control, is managed using a proportional-integral (PI) controller to handle variable load conditions, including fluctuations in torque and current. By fine-tuning the PI controller’s gains, the desired motor speed is achieved efficiently. A DC-DC Buck-Boost converter serves as an intermediary power conditioning unit, optimizing energy extraction from the SPV array and enhancing system efficiency. This setup ensures that PMSM meets the power and operational demands of EVs. Additionally, a voltage source inverter (VSI) facilitates electronic commutation of the PMSM, providing accurate control using fundamental frequency pulses. The system is modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrating its reliability under diverse load conditions. The findings underscore the potential of this approach in promoting renewable energy integration in EVs, paving the way for cleaner and more sustainable transportation solutions.Venue: NIT RaipurInstitute: NIT Raipur

Bi-LSTM-based electrical load prediction model for a microgrid community area of Panama City
2025-01-20 00:00 - 2025-01-22 00:00
Abstract: Accurate prediction of electricity consumption is essential for the efficient functioning of power grids and the successful administration of energy markets in the field of energy planning. There are several benefits such as system efficiency, dependability, safety, and stability with the proper forecasting of load demand. To ensure the proper operation of the microgrid energy management system, it is essential to predict the overall load demand with precision and consistency. A bidirectional long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) model is considered in this paper for the electrical load forecasting of microgrids. The proposed model is verified by using the standard available load forecasting data set of Panama City. Furthermore, the approach is compared with LSTM load forecasting method. The various performance metrics such as MAE, RAE, RSE, R2, RMSE, and NRMSE are employed in this paper to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed prediction model. In this work, the Bi-LSTM method got the better error reduction values of 17.8% in MAE, 1.70% in RMSE, 2.37% in NRMSE, 3.5% in RSE, 19% in RAE and 1.2% improvement in R2 when compared to the LSTM model. The proposed load prediction model is helpful in estimating the future power shortages of the microgrid community which leads to improve the system efficiency and reliability.

Customized Inverter configuration for multiple Pole-Pair Stator winding Induction motor drive with reduced DC Bus Voltage
2025-01-20 00:00 - 2025-01-22 00:00
Abstract: In this paper, A new customized multi-level inverter (MLI) configuration is proposed for induction motor drive, aiming to lower the requirement of DC bus voltage magnitude. This method utilizes pole pair winding coils separately to generate multi-level voltage waveform across the total stator phase windings. As the inverter requires lower input voltage it eliminates the requirement of boost converters when it is used in the EV applications. The inherent advantages of this topology significantly reduce control complexity in the battery systems by reducing the number of series-connected battery cells. The conventional Level-Shifted Sine Triangle PWM technique proficiently shifts low frequency harmonics to the carrier frequency, enhancing power quality and minimizing electromagnetic interference. Through MATLAB simulation, this new customized multi-level inverter-fed open-end stator winding Induction motor is simulated and results are presented to validate the proposed concept. Ultimately, our research aims to contribute to advancing electric vehicle technology by operating the induction motor with minimal input DC source voltage, and substantial output gain.
