Generally known current and power equations of electrical circuits cannot be used in situations where the voltage and current waveforms are non-periodic. The paper suggests that these equations could be applied to systems with quasi-periodic waveforms, however, as approximate models of the power-related phenomena. The concepts of the running RMS and complex RMS values, as well as the running active power are introduced for that purpose and applied for generalizing the current and power equations of the single-phase and three-phase circuits with time-variant parameters. Fast iterative algorithms for calculating the running quantities make it possible to integrate the frequency-domain and the time-domain approaches into a kind of the time and frequency-domain model of the power-related phenomena in circuits with quasi-periodic waveforms.

AZO/Si heterojunction solar cells were fabricated and investigated. In this structure AZO plays a role as a transparent current spreading layer and rectifying junction with silicon (Si). Furthermore, by introducing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) inside of the AZO film, light harvesting was enhanced because of plasmonic and light scattering effects ensuring minimized electrical and optical loss within the AZO. AZO was grown by co-sputtering of ZnO and Al. AZO (Al 5.78 wt%) was deposited on Si with 20, 40 nm of thickness. Ag NPs were then spread by spin coating and 230 nm of AZO was deposited again having a sandwich-like structure. In SEM observation, Ag NPs covered 4.7 % of the front surface. Solar cells were fabricated using Al front and back contacts with the size of 0.25 cm~2. computer simulations were carried out to optimize current gain regarding a total photon energy into Si. In calculation, absorption enhancement is maximized when Ag NPs are located as close to the Si layer in the range of 10 ~ 40 nm. Experimentally, 20 nm of bottom AZO showed the best result in terms of efficiency. Spectral response showed 15 % enhancement at 430 nm and 5 ~ 10% enhancement within 600 ~ 1000 nm. Best performance was shown to have 0.36 V of Voc, 28.3 mA/cm2 of Jsc and an efficiency of 5.91 %.

A parallel consequent pole PM-assisted 2-layer subharmonic machine consisting of dual inverter topology is proposed here, which is designed to enhance torque generation and control compared to its predecessors. The stator of the sub-harmonic synchronous machine has two sets of 3-phase windings, and the dual inverter supplies current to them separately. Similarly, the rotor has two concentric windings, one for field excitation and the other for harmonic excitation. To validate the proposed model, an 8-pole, 48-slot, 2-inverter, 2-layer sub-harmonic machine is designed and simulated through 2-D finite element analysis. The results show a better torque and performance than the subharmonic and wound field synchronous machines.

We consider the problem of devising optimal bidding strategies for electricity suppliers in a day-ahead market where each supplier bids a linear non-decreasing function of its generating capacity for each of the 24 hours. The market operator schedules suppliers based on their bids to meet demand during each hour and determines hourly market clearing prices. Each supplier strives to submit bids that maximize her individual profit, conditional upon other suppliers bids. This process achieves a Nash equilibrium when no supplier is motivated to modify her bid. Solving the profit maximization problem requires information of rivals' bids which are typically not available. We develop an inverse optimization approach for estimating rivals' cost functions given historical market clearing prices and production levels, and use these functions to compute the Nash equilibrium bids. We propose sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium, and provide out-of-sample performance guarantees for the estimated cost parameters. Numerical experiments show that our approach achieves higher profit than the one proposed in [16], which relies instead on the assumption that other suppliers' bids are normally distributed.

This paper describes a fuzzy logic (FL) approach for incorporating an expert knowledge-based Traction control System (TCS) for a four-wheel drive vehicle. The knowledge base is provided by a survey of existing TCS methods, understanding of the TCS hardware components and tyre adhesion characteristics, evaluation of applicable control methods, computer simulation studies, and feedback information from experienced traction test drivers in the automotive industry. The developed FL-bascd TCS was implemented on a Pentium PC system- level traction controller computer installed on a 4x4 pickup truck. Extensive experiments for traction control was conducted at available test facilities and proving grounds. The system-level fuzzy logic approach readily permits modification of old and incorporation of new ideas. The success of this fuzzy logic-based design approach was demonstrated to the government sponsor and industrial partners.

Path planning for robotic manipulators interacting with obstacles is considered, where an end-effector is to be driven to a goal region in minimum time, collisions are to be avoided, and kinematic and dynamic constraints are to be obeyed. The obstacles can be time-varying in their positions, but the positions should be known or estimated over the prediction horizon for planning the path. This non-convex optimization problem can be approximated by Mixed Integer Programs (MIPs), which usually leads to a large number of binary variables, and hence, to inacceptable computational time for the planning. In this paper, we present a geometric result whose application drastically reduces the number of binary decision variables in the aforementioned MIPs for 3D motion planning problems. This leads to a reduction in computational time, which is demonstrated for different scenarios.

Within the paradigm of Evolving and Adaptive Intelligent systems, the Electrical Power System (EPS) represents a Critical Infrastructure demanding robust reliability metrics. This study pioneers the application of Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) heuristic to the Optimal Switch Allocation (OSA) problem in the EPS. Adapting neighborhood structures and local search methods, we consider the joint allocation of Manual Switches and Remote-controlled switches, addressing interdependencies. Results highlight VNS efficacy in navigating OSA challenges, showcasing its adaptability in an evolving system. Comparative analyses endorse VNS as a valuable tool for addressing EPS reliability within the dynamic landscape of evolving and adaptive intelligent systems.

Brazil has great potential for this type of energy generation due to its geographic location, allowing the development of viable photovoltaic (PV) projects in several regions. its use in places close to the sea has increased, with its use on boats and even resorts and hotels. This proximity to the sea requires attention to the local salinity, more precisely to the saline mist. This article will describe the methodology used to carry out the salinity resistance test of PV modules, choosing a specific classification of corrosive atmosphere according to the brazilian environment on the coast where the module will be placed in real conditions.
