The exploration of perovskite compounds incorporating actinide and divalent elements reveals remarkable characteristics. Focusing on PbBkO, RaBkO, and SrBkO, these materials were studied using density functional theory (DFT) via the CASTEP code to analyze their electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. The results show semiconductor behavior, with respective band gaps of 1.

Article Synopsis
  • Microgrids and energy communities are being increasingly utilized, but rural areas face challenges due to lack of information infrastructure, causing operational blind spots in distribution networks.
  • A backward neural network (BNN) is proposed as a control method in multi-feeder microgrid systems to improve load sharing and voltage management, adapting to communication issues that typically affect traditional control.
  • The BNN approach demonstrates greater effectiveness than conventional methods by optimizing load distribution and maintaining voltage stability, particularly under conditions of communication failure.

  • To optimize the performance of a Hybrid Excitation Synchronous Machine (HESM) in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), key indicators like back-EMF, inductance, and unbalanced magnetic force (UMF) should be calculated using analytical methods.
  • The study calculates back-EMF considering various winding configurations and examines how different magnetization patterns (radial, parallel, Halbach) affect the waveform.
  • To reduce UMFs, the design of stator windings and permanent magnets is modified for symmetry; other factors, such as temperature impact on magnet strength and optimizing the ratio of permanent magnet flux to rotor flux, are also considered to enhance average torque.

Today, with the increasing penetration of microgrids, the degree of complexity and non-linearity of power systems has increased, causing conventional and inflexible controllers not to perform well in a wide range of operating points. In this paper, a self-tuning proportional-integral (PI)-controller based on a soft computation of a combination of genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural network (ANN). The GA-ANN is used to control the frequency of a microgrid in an island mode to automatically adjust and optimize the coefficients of a PI-controller.
