Human body motion tracking is a key technique in robotics, virtual reality and other human–computer interaction fields, for interactive mixed reality applications. Human motion tracking for rehabilitation is widely discussed by researchers in the last period, being motivated by the increased number of patients with motor function disability. For such patients rehabilitation is an important step to restore their functional capability to normal or close to normal. To reach this target, a patients’ activities need to be continuously monitored, and subsequently corrected. This involves accurate identification, tracking, and post-processing of movement. This paper thus proposes an open loop real time angle computation algorithm designed in Matlab®. Its efficacy was tested using an Arduino Nano® coupled with the MPU-6050 as the Inertial Measurement Units (IMU). The advantages of the proposed algorithm are presented by comparison with the already existing and widely used methods.

Detailed real-time simulation of power systems and components gains significant importance due to the increasing share of renewable energy sources and inverter-based generation in general. This kind of simulation is powered by specialized simulation hardware, such as the NovaCor simulators by RTDS Technologies Inc. These simulators are accompanied by the specialized modeling and simulation software RSCAD, which is focused on the user interaction via a graphical interface. The modeling and simulation of power systems often requires repetitive tasks that can be automated with scripting or an ap-plication programming interface (API). However, an automation in RSCAD is not supported. Thus, we present PyAPI-RTS, a programming interface for the programmatic interaction with RSCAD models, and its Python-based implementation in the pyapi_rts package. The developed package enables adding, removing, and editing components of existing models, and the creation of new models from scratch. Furthermore, pyapi_rts organizes models in a graph structure that enables the development of elaborate manipulation and analysis algorithms.

A permanent magnet synchronous motor's (PMSM) drive system depends heavily on the voltage source inverter (VSI). However, the VSI shows vulnerability to faults during operation, especially when it comes to open circuit switch faults, which are the most frequent and have the most significant negative impact on the drive system. In order to diagnose Open Circuit Faults (OCF) in the Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system, this work employs the vector average current technique in Clark's transformation and an artificial neural network. Diagnostic variables are computed based on the current distortion to gather details about the fault. An artificial neural network (ANN) is put to use to process the fault information in order to determine and locate the specific location of the faulty switch. The study's simulation results show that the methodology employed effectively identifies and localises open circuit faults in a two-level, three-phase inverter.

Fractional-order PID (FOPID) controllers have gained increasing interest in control theory in recent years, mainly to improve the performance and stability of complex systems. FOPID controllers are a generalization of classical PID controllers that have both integral and derivative orders of fractional order. This means that instead of having three tuning parameters as in classical PID, there are two additional degrees of freedom to achieve the control objectives. At the same time, the structure of the PID controller, so valued in industrial applications, is retained. A preferred method for designing FOPID controllers is the use of optimization algorithms. Different objective functions are used, such as the integral of the square error (ISE), the integral of the absolute error (IAE), the integral of the time-weighted absolute error (ITAE) or the integral of the time-weighted square error (ITSE), which must be minimized in order to adjust the five unknown parameters of the FOPID controller. There are several papers discussing different optimization methods and objective functions for different applications, but there are no general recommendations to help engineers choose the right method for their design. The present research compares three of the most well-known nature-inspired optimization techniques from the point of view of a FOPID controller design tool, using all the above enumerated objective functions. The analysis is realized both for processes with large time constants (such as thermal processes) and for dynamic systems (such as mechatronic processes), presenting the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

The incorporation of real-time Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulators has become one of the pillars of the power electronics control design cycle. This integration is necessary to verify the effectiveness of controller implementations. Despite the rapid evolution in FPGA devices' computational capacity employed by Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) tools, developers are consistently faced with the need to strike a balance between acceptable accuracy and the practicality of implementing models and techniques. The methodology presented in this paper is for implementing a full-bridge converter using the Associate Discrete Circuit (ADC) model, specifically designed for real-time simulator applications. Furthermore, this study presents a novel methodology for parameter selection of (ADC) parameters utilizing the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC). The utilization of the ADC-based model facilitates the establishment of a uniform converter topology during simulation, irrespective of the switch states. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the introduced methodology in selecting optimal parameters for an ADC switch-based full-bridge converter, reducing overshoot in the converter's output voltage and current.

Modern power grids become increasingly interconnected, and renewable energy sources amplify regional differences in energy generation and consumption. As a consequence, power grid analyses need to consider larger grids to examine the interaction between different regions. A detailed simulation of complete systems is often not feasible due to computational limitations. Thus, network reduction techniques are employed to create computationally less expensive equivalents of less important parts of the network. In this paper, we present a novel static network reduction method that is focused on the preservation of the overall network topology. We implemented this method in Python with DIgSILENT PowerFactory for the network modeling. We evaluate our method on a model of the German transmission grid and compare it to traditional reduction methods. In contrast to these traditional methods, our method yields interpretable equivalents with a preserved network topology consisting of standard components, while achieving a comparable reduction rate and accuracy of power flow and short circuit results.

With the fast rising number of power electronic devices in the electric grid, the harmonic emissions of those devices can lead to significant power quality issues. This is reflected in the recent addition of harmonic stability as one of the grid stability types. The reduction of harmonic emissions is an important task in the development of resilient carbon neutral grids. This paper describes the application of the model-free control concept for grid-tied inverters as an easily implementable extension for dq0-frame based current control loops, which are often used in cascaded control schemes. The approach incorporates the information contained in the output current derivative. To balance phase-error and measurement noise suppression, the derivative is obtained using an algebraic numerical differentiator. The reduction of the total harmonic distortion (THD) is demonstrated for two use-cases in simulation, in order to show the transferability of the results. Further, measurement data from a hardware implementation of the concept is studied to verify the behavior under real-world conditions. For this, the influence of the tuning parameters is discussed along with limitations of the approach.
