In this paper, the effects of magnetization patterns on the performance of Hybrid Electrical Vehicle (HEV) are investigated. HEVs have three magnetic field sources: armature winding, permanent magnets, and field winding. To initiate the investigation, the magnetic field distributions produced by these three sources are obtained. By using the magnetic field distributions, the machine is analyzed under no-load and on-load conditions, and the operational indices, such as self and mutual inductance, cogging-, reluctance- and instantaneous torque, and unbalance magnetic force (UMF) in x- and y direction are calculated. Various magnetization patterns are considered to investigate their influences on the performance of the machine. This step was done with Maxwell software. Furthermore, instantaneous torque and magnitude of UMF are expressed in term of pole arc to pole pitch ratio by using artificial intelligence. The optimal of the pole arc to pole pitch ratio to maximize the average of instantaneous torque and minimize the magnitude of UMF by some multi-objective algorithms is also computed. The modeling and optimization are performed by Matlab Software.

Harmonic reduction is an essential issue in a grid-connected variable-speed wind energy conversion system to decrease the electrical losses of the system and improve the power quality. In this paper, a new Shunt Active Filter (SAF) based on a three-phase four-switch inverter is used to improve the output current harmonics of the wind energy conversion system. The SAF contains three parts: identification, modulation, and inverter. In the proposed filter, an identification algorithm, which is not sensitive to the input source harmonic, is used to cancel out most harmonics impact. Moreover, a modified modulation technique based on the identification of the output signal is utilized. In the previous active filters, a three-phase six-switch inverter has often been used; however, in the proposed SAF, the number of switches is decreased to four in order to decrease the inverter losses. Simulation results confirm the superior performances of the proposed active filter versus the prior one for a wind energy conversion system.
