Since the limited power capacity, finite inertia, and dynamic loads make the shipboard power system (SPS) vulnerable, the automatic reconfiguration for failure recovery in SPS is an extremely significant but still challenging problem. It is not only required to operate accurately and optimally, but also to satisfy operating constraints. In this paper, we consider the reconfiguration optimization for hybrid AC/DC microgrids in all-electric ships. Firstly, the multi-zone medium voltage DC (MVDC) SPS model is presented. In this model, the DC power flow for reconfiguration and a generalized AC/DC converter are modeled for accurate reconfiguration. Secondly, since this problem is mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), a hybrid method based on Newton Raphson and Biogeography based Optimization (NRBBO) is designed according to the characteristics of system, loads, and faults. This method facilitates to maximize the weighted load restoration while satisfying operating constraints. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate this method has advantages in terms of power restoration and convergence speed.

Optimal power management of shipboard power system for failure mode (OPMSF) is a significant and challenging problem considering the safety of system and person. Many existing works focused on the transient-time recovery without consideration of the operating cost and the voyage plan. In this paper, the OPMSF problem is formulated considering the mid-time scheduling and the faults at bus and generator. Two- side adjustment methods including the load shedding and the reconfiguration are coordinated for reducing the fault effects. To address the formulated non-convex problem, the travel equality constraint and fractional energy efficiency operation indicator (EEOI) limitation are transformed into the convex forms. Then, considering the infeasibility scenario affected by faults, a further relaxation is adopted to formulate a new problem with feasibility guaranteed. Furthermore, a sufficient condition is derived to ensure that the new problem has the same optimal solution as the original one. Because of the mixed-integer nonlinear feature, an optimal algorithm based on Benders decomposition (BD) is developed to solve the new one. Due to the slow convergence caused by the time-coupled constraints, a low-complexity near-optimal algorithm based on BD (LNBD) is proposed. The results verify the effectivity of the proposed methods and algorithms.
Multicopters are becoming increasingly important in both civil and military fields. Currently, most multicopter propulsion systems are designed by experience and trial-and-error experiments, which are costly and ineffective. This paper proposes a simple and practical method to help designers find the optimal propulsion system according to the given design requirements. First, the modeling methods for four basic components of the propulsion system including propellers, motors, electric speed controls, and batteries are studied respectively. Secondly, the whole optimization design problem is simplified and decoupled into several sub-problems. By solving these sub-problems, the optimal parameters of each component can be obtained respectively. Finally, based on the obtained optimal component parameters, the optimal product of each component can be quickly located and determined from the corresponding database. Experiments and statistical analyses demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Hybrid AC/DC networks are a key technology for future electrical power systems, due to the increasing number of converter-based loads and distributed energy resources. In this paper, we consider the design of control schemes for hybrid AC/DC networks, focusing especially on the control of the interlinking converters (ILC(s)). We present two control schemes: firstly for decentralized primary control, and secondly, a distributed secondary controller. In the primary case, the stability of the controlled system is proven in a general hybrid AC/DC network which may include asynchronous AC subsystems. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that power-sharing across the AC/DC network is significantly improved compared to previously proposed dual droop control. The proposed scheme for secondary control guarantees the convergence of the AC system frequencies and the average DC voltage of each DC subsystem to their nominal values respectively. An optimal power allocation is also achieved at steady-state. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms are verified by simulation on a test hybrid AC/DC network in MATLAB / Simscape Power Systems.
Electric machines with very power-to-weight ratios are inevitable for hybrid electric aircraft applications. One potential technology that is very promising to achieve the required power-to-weight ratio for short-range aircraft, are superconductors used for high current densities in the stator or high magnetic fields in the rotor. In this paper, we present an indepth analysis of the potential for fully and partially superconducting electric machines that is based on an analytical approach taking into account all relevant physical domains such as electromagnetics, superconducting properties, thermal behavior as well as structural mechanics. For the requirements of the motors in the NASA N3-X concept aircraft, we find that fully superconducting machines could achieve 3.5 times higher power-to-weight ratio than partially superconducting machines. Furthermore, our model can be used to calculate the relevant KPIs such as mass, efficiency and cryogenic cooling requirements for any other machine design.
In this paper, a full-bridge boost power converter topology is studied for power factor control, using output high order sliding mode control. The AC/DC converters are used for charging the battery and super-capacitor in hybrid electric vehicles from the utility. The proposed control forces the input currents to track the desired values, which can controls the output voltage while keeping the power factor close to one. Super-twisting sliding mode observer is employed to estimate the input currents and load resistance only from the measurement of output voltage. Lyapunov analysis shows the asymptotic convergence of the closed loop system to zero. Simulation results show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller.
