    <jats:p>This paper presents an integrated approach for optimizing the performance of a 36-pulses converter system by using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to be included in a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) environment. The focus of the proposal is on enhancing harmonic reduction through intelligent adjustment of switching angles and coordinated control of the reinjection transformer included in the power converter topology. A key component of the proposed methodology involves a simulation-based process to determine optimal firing angles (α1, α2, and α3), based on Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) theory, that minimize Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Using MATLAB with Simulink and PLECS models, a parametric sweep of the firing angles, generating a comprehensive dataset of THD outcomes. This dataset, consisting of THD evaluations across fine-grained angle variations, serves as the training foundation for supervised machine learning models—specifically, neural network regressors—that approximate the nonlinear mapping between firing angles and harmonic distortion. These predictive models are then employed as surrogates to estimate THD rapidly and guide the selection of optimal switching angles in real time without requiring iterative numerical solvers. Optimization heuristics and predictive models are then deployed to dynamically adapt system parameters in real time under varying load conditions. The proposed method demonstrates significant improvements in power quality and operational reliability, highlighting the potential of AI-assisted SCADA systems in advanced power electronics applications. Implementation results performed on a 36-pulses voltage source converter prototype are included to illustrate the appropriateness of the proposal.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>This paper deals with the reference trajectory tracking problem and simultaneous active disturbance suppression on a class of controlled aerial mechanical systems by processing measurable output signals. A novel dynamic control method for desired motion reference trajectory tracking for quadrotor helicopters is introduced. Measurements of position output signals for efficient and robust tracking of motion profiles specified for the unmanned aerial vehicle are only required. Thus, differentiation of signals and real-time estimation of disturbances affecting the multi-input multioutput, underactuated nonlinear dynamic system are unnecessary. The presented active control approach can be directly extended for a class of vibrating mechanical systems. Analytical, experimental, and numerical results are presented to prove the satisfactory performance of the proposed trajectory tracking control approach for considerably perturbed operating scenarios.</jats:p>

    An improved interleaved Ćuk power converter called in short –"Interleaved Two"– is designed and presented in this article. It is investigated and compared to a similar interleaved Ćuk power converter named as –"Interleaved One"– . The result is that the "Interleave Two" topology requires less reactive elements than the "Interleaved One" to achieve same performance, it will offer the possibility to reduce its size and economic cost. The operational principle and modeling is presented thoroughly. Moreover, simulation results comparing steady state time, output voltage, input current ripple and efficiency are presented. Additionally, in order to validate the performance of the "Interleaved Two" converter experimental results are included.
