Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The practice of monitoring and maintaining the energy systems installations is an essential activity in the search for better performance in terms of their quality, maintainability, availability, and safety. Hence, the governance of energy systems (conventional and renewable) is essential for their monitoring and for minimization of the associated energy losses. This Special Issue aims to present the developments and solutions brought by the emergence of new technologies, based on the analysis of big data and artificial intelligence, with the application of fault-tolerant control, to ensure good control of the behavior of these energy systems, even in the presence of faults. The aim is to promote scientific and technological transfer while ensuring sustainable development with innovative solutions and high-energy efficiency using applied automation tools. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Robust fault-tolerant control strategy
  • Diagnostic decision making
  • Digital twin and IoT technology
  • Energy storage and conversion systems
  • Failure analysis and fault diagnosis and prognosis
  • Fault-tolerant control application (electric vehicles, electrical machines, power converter)
  • Integrated fault estimation
  • Intelligent fault-tolerant control strategy
  • Intelligent data acquisition
  • Machine learning and multi-agent systems
  • Modeling and identification
  • Monitoring and observer-based fault-tolerant systems
  • Reliability and maintenance engineering
  • Sustainable energy system (solar, wind, biomass, hydraulic, and hybrid)
  • System reconfiguration
  • Tracking control

This paper proposes a novel multi-phase single-turn permanent magnet synchronous motor (MSPMSM) to meet the stringent requirements of electric aircraft, such as high power density, high torque, and low mass and volume. The MSPMSM features a unique single-turn winding configuration, which can reduce the coil overhang, increase the power density and torque, and reduce the weight of the motor in conventional multi-turn motors. The proposed MSPMSM is studied by the finite element method (FEM) and compared to a conventional PMSM with the same geometry and PM usage. The performance comparison results under different load conditions show that the proposed MSPMSM has higher torque and power density than the conventional motor. Full article

This paper presents a novel observer-based robust fault predictive control (OBRFPC) approach for a wind turbine time-delay system subject to constraints, actuator/sensor faults, and external disturbances. The proposed approach is based on an augmented state-space representation that contains state-space variables and estimation errors. The proposed augmented representation is then used to synthesize a robust predictive controller. In addition, an observer is developed and used to estimate both state variables and actuator/sensor faults. To ensure that the proposed approach has disturbance rejection capabilities, the disturbance estimates were merged with the prediction model. In addition, the disturbance rejection capabilities and fault tolerance were insured by formulating the control process as an optimization problem subject to constraints in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). As a result, the controller gains are acquired by solving an LMI problem to guarantee input-to-state stability in the presence of sensor and actuator faults. A simulation example is conducted on a nonlinear wind turbine (1 MW) model with 3 blades, a horizontal axis, and upwind variable speed subject to actuator/sensor faults in the pitch system. The results demonstrate the ability of the proposed method in dealing with nonlinear systems subject to external disturbances and keeping the control performance acceptable in the presence of actuator/sensor faults.

Induction motors are the horsepower in the industrial environment, and among them, 3-phase induction motors (3PIMs) stand out for their robustness and standard 3-phase power supply. In the literature, there are many approaches to diagnose faults for the nonlinear 3PIM model, and the vast majority focus on a single motor fault, although others address more faults but at the cost of greater computational complexity. In this sense, one of the methods with less computational load and early detection is the parity equation approach, which is based on analyzing the discrepancy between the input and output signals of a real process and a linear mathematical model to generate a residual signal, which contains important information about the fault and is obtained through a suitable selection of a weighting matrix W to isolate the faults as much as possible. The problem in this case study is that the 3PIM model is a nonlinear system. In this work, the fault detection method based on the parity equations approach applied in the 3PIM is explored using a simplified and proposed model of the 3PIM working in the D-Q synchronous reference frame, which is matched with the direct current motor model to guarantee both the existence of the parity space and to ensure a large set of detectable faults in the 3PIM parameters. Simulation and experimental results validate the proposed scheme and confirm a very simple set of residual equations to guarantee both early detection and a large set of detectable faults in: Stator and rotor resistances, stator and rotor inductances, as well as current, voltage, and speed sensors. Additionally, development of human machine interface (HMI) is implemented to validate the proposed scheme. Full article
