Summary: Model predictive thrust control (MPTC) is an effective approach for linear induction machine (LIM) drive system, achieving optimization of multiple objectives with suitable weighting factors. This article proposes a dynamic fuzzy MPTC approach to solve the multi-objective problem of minimizing flux and thrust ripples. By using fuzzy optimization technique, the tuning process of weighting factors is transformed into a discrete membership function. A max-min objective function of voltage vectors is employed to select a more balanced switch combination on the Pareto optimal-frontier for LIM. The approach is also adaptable to different operating conditions by adjusting objective priority of membership function. Comprehensive simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Summary: This paper assessed the small-signal stability performance of a multi-converter-based direct current microgrid (DCMG) by evaluating the oscillation and potential interactions between critical modes. The complete analytical model of the DCMG, along with the converter and associated controllers, was developed. Three methodologies, impedance scanning, eigenvalue analysis, and time-domain simulation, were used to comprehensively investigate the oscillations and interactions. The simulation results showed the existence of inherent weak modes that could destabilize the system under disturbances, with controller gains and DC-link capacitance identified as the most critical parameters.
