Background and Objectives: The microgrid voltage and frequency are strongly affected by active and reactive load fluctuations. Load change in microgrid may result in the lack of balance among generation and consumption and as a result change in output voltage and frequency. If load change is great enough, distribution generation cannot stabilize the microgrid. The main objective of this article is to control the distribution of active and reactive power related to an inverter-based distributed generation (DG) in the microgrid using intelligent methods. Methods: In this study, frequency and voltage of an active generator connected to the microgrid is also controlled with applying adaptive the fuzzy sliding mode control (AFSMC) and the droop control Methods To solve the problems related to design of the sliding mode controller, a compensator control system is suggested. A rule based on the Lyapunov stability theory is also introduced to ensure the stability of closed loop system. Results: Using MATLAB/SIMULINIK software, simulation results are provided for the proposed controller and its performance under different conditions for a typical power system is evaluated. Simulation of the considered power system is done to track different values of active and reactive power. Conclusion: The provided simulation results show the effectiveness of suggested method to regulate active and reactive power and to control voltage and frequency of the microgrid. ======================================================================================================Copyrights©2019 The author(s).

Background and Objectives: One of the main drawbacks of switched reluctance motors (SRM) is high acoustic noise and significant research has been done to reduce it. In addition, reduction of temperature rise within the machine is usually considered as one of the most important goals of design. Therefore, a shape design method is introduced in the present paper for the SRM by which both heat transfer and acoustic noise are improved. Methods: For evaluation of the proposed shape design method, a simulation model based on finite element method (FEM) is also developed to predict both the temperature rise within the machine and the produced noise. The simulation model is created using ANSYS finite element (FE) package and it is build up totally as a parametric model in ANSYS parametric design language. Since the convection heat transfer coefficients depend on the temperature rise, they are determined in the developed thermal model based on an iterative algorithm. Results: The proposed shape design method is applied to a typical 8/6 SRM and simulation results including temperature distribution in various sections of the machine, displacement of stator and sound pressure level (SPL) are presented. Conclusion: Based on the obtained simulation results, it is illustrated that the temperature rise and the noise of the SRM could be improved significantly using the introduced shape design method.======================================================================================================Copyrights©2018 The author(s).

High-frequency coils are widely used in medical applications, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. A typical medical MRI includes a local radio frequency transmit/receive coil. This coil is designed for maximum energy transfer or wave transfer through magnetic resonance. Mutual inductance is a dynamic parameter that determines the energy quantity to be transferred wirelessly by electromagnetic coupling. Thus, it is essential to analyze the self and mutual inductances of this coil. Other parameters, including electromagnetic shielding, frequency, and distance, which influence voltage and power transfer are investigated here. Theoretical formulas and simulation models proposed in the present paper are implemented by using MATLAB and ANSYS MAXWELL and ANSYS SIMPLORER Finite Element (FE) packages for determining the performance and properties of the coil. So, the main goal is evaluating of software steps that simplify the design of RF resonance circuits. Also, experimental results are given for the validation of the proposed method. Consequently, Safety and efficiency are automatically maximized by following the best design considerations.
