This paper evaluates the behavior of harmonic filters subjected to overcurrents during energization. Statistical studies were carried out in ATPDraw considering different techniques to estimate the magnitude of inrush currents, one based on a true RMS estimator and another based on a 60-Hz Fourier filter phasor estimator. The results show that the theoretical limits of the currents used as reference to the overcurrent protection settings presented in literature were consistently defined in the evaluated cases, but that the selection of the decay time could be improved.

A wideband black-box model is proposed to represent the transient response of an inductive voltage transformer used in 15-kV class distribution systems in Brazil. The proposed model is used to evaluate the surge transfer characteristics of the voltage transformer considering different loads for the application of a step-like impulse voltage at primary side. The model is built as a Norton-type equivalent circuit that is valid from 10 Hz to 10 MHz. It is demonstrated that the model is able to accurately reproduce the transient waveforms measured at the transformer secondary side for the application of impulse voltages at the primary side in all tested cases.

The large industries that work with high power demand increasingly want to optimize their production lines. In this context, several studies and research about the multi-level power converts have been realized in last years, as they have several advantages when compared to traditional two-level topologies: better harmonic performance, filters reduction, lower components voltage stress and higher power process capability. The present work proposes a Cuk DC-DC converter composed of multilevel flying capacitor asymmetric totem-pole switching cell. This structure is achieved by replacing one leg of switch/diode of the traditional two-level asymmetric totem-pole cell by a similar multilevel flying capacitor cell. This work presents a brief analysis of the operation of the proposed converter, as well as the control strategy to keep the output voltage at the desired value and contains simulation results to validate the theoretical approach.

Multilevel power converters have been aim of research in the last years due to their advantages when compared to traditional two-level topologies: better harmonic performance, filters reduction, lower components voltage stress and higher power process capability. Following this trend, the present work proposes two Zeta DC-DC converters composed of multilevel flying capacitor asymmetric totem-pole switching cells. These structures are achieved by replacing one leg of switch/diode of the traditional two-level asymmetric totem-pole switching cell by a similar multilevel flying capacitor switching cell. A generalized structure of the flying capacitor switching cell for $k$ switches is presented. An operation analysis of the proposed converter is presented as well as simulation results to validate the theoretical approach.

Multilevel power converters have been aim of research in the last years due to their advantages when compared to traditional two-level topologies: better harmonic performance, filters reduction, lower components voltage stress and higher power process capability. Following this trend, the present work proposes two SEPIC DC-DC converters composed of multilevel flying capacitor asymmetric totem-pole switching cell. These structures are achieved by replacing one leg of switch/diode of the traditional two-level asymmetric totem-pole cell by a similar multilevel flying capacitor cell. An operation analysis of the proposed converter is presented, as well as hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulation results to validate the theoretical approach.

This paper proposes a three-phase three-level AC/DC converter with reduced number of controlled switches and high-frequency DC-bus based on NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) topology, for unidirectional power flow applications. Galvanic isolation is reached by using a center tap transformer, which requires only a full-bridge at it primary side. No bulky electrolytic capacitors are needed on the DC-bus, in contrast to conventional multilevel topologies. A PWM strategy with carriers arranged in alternating phase opposition (PWM-APOD) is used to operate the proposed converter. The applied PWM technique is able to operate the converter stage on the AC side with only two switches commuting per switching period. The switches of the isolated pulsating DC/DC converter are commutated with half the switching frequency of the converter on the AC side. A dual-loop control strategy with PI voltage and PI resonant current controllers is adopted to ensure reference load voltage and almost sinusoidal grid currents. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed converter operation.

This article implements the multi-objective grey wolf optimizer (MOGWO) in the identification process of a multivariable system. For a sequence of 100 runs, MOGWO approach had compared and analyzed with the grey wolf optimizer (GWO), the single-objective version. In the computational simulation, the determination coefficient values and mean square error had used to analyze the quality of the models obtained. In the results, MOGWO showed superior to GWO to the differences between the order of magnitude of the system outputs. The implementation shows that MOGWO and other multi-objective metaheuristics can be an alternative method to solve problems of identification processes of multivariable systems.

This work presents a performance comparison between the newly developed Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) and two different variants created for tuning a decentralized fractional order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) application. The application consists of a ball mill pulverizing system to pulverize coal and maximize fuel efficiency. MRFO and its applications have the task of finding the optimal controller variable values to control the system's temperature and pressure. The MRFO is a metaheuristic based on the behavior of manta rays, and although it shows efficient performance it may be improved through the use of techniques which generate new variants of the algorithm. Two techniques were used in the de-velopment of new variants: Quantum mechanics and opposition-based learning. The three different versions of MRFO were used to minimize a custom fitness function which is a combination of the integral time squared error (ITSE) and the overshoot of the system response. Simulations were carried using Simulink and Matlab softwares. For analyzing the performances, statistical measures such as minimum, maximum, best, mean, median, and standard deviation of the fitness function over 50 runs were used. Additionally, the different variants were also compared for minimizing 10 benchmark functions. The results show that the use of the previously mentioned techniques improve the performance of the original MRFO in optimizing the FOPID to control the ball mill pulverizing system.

This article implements the multi-objective grey wolf optimizer (MOGWO) in the tuning process of the gains of the Fractional-Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FOPID) controller applied in the control of a boiler system. For a sequence of 100 runs, this application had compared and analyzed with other implementation that uses MOGWO to optimize the gains of the classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. In the computational simulation, the value hypervolume metric had used to analyze the performance of the controllers. In the results, the implementation of the FOPID showed superior to PID, where the comparison had validated by a hypothesis test. Despite the higher computational cost concerning the tuning process of the PID controller, this study proved that the FOPID controller can be advantageous for industrial applications.
