Abstract

The need for electric cars (EVs) is steadily rising in the world due to the rise in emissions like CO2 and environmental effects brought on by conventional automobiles. EVs have also transformed the transportation industry. These days, EVs are popular because of their special qualities, which include lower noise pollution, carbon emissions, and operating expenses, as well as the capacity to operate in both grid-to-vehicle (V2G) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) scenarios. Nevertheless, it affects the power distribution grid in a number of ways. There are various power concerns owing to the introduction of EVs in the distribution system, like instability of voltage, distortions in currents, harm onic distortions, power factor degradation, and fluctuations in voltage. The primary emphasis of this study is on mitigating PQ issues like harmonics produced in the distributed power network when electric vehicles are integrated at the distribution end. In order to reduce harmonics and enhance the distribution side's current profile, a dynamic active power filter (DAPF) with PSO-tuned ICC control technique is introduced. Performance of PSO-DAPF is validated with the help of MATLAB/Simulink, along with V2G and V2G operation.

Abstract

This article provides an in-depth examination of recent advances in high-gain DC-DC converters, emphasizing soft-switching techniques and topological innovations that minimize voltage stress for renewable energy applications. High-gain DC-DC converters are crucial in photovoltaic and fuel-cell systems, where boosting low input voltages to higher levels must be achieved with high efficiency and compact design. Traditional boost converters fall short due to elevated switching stress, discontinuous input currents, and lower efficiency at high-gain levels. To address these limitations, this review categorizes and critically evaluates state-of-the-art converter topologies developed for high-gain operation. The main contributions of this review are as follows: i) A systematic classification of high-gain converter configurations with emphasis on their operational principles; ii) A detailed evaluation of soft-switching techniques, including zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS), focusing on their roles in reducing switching losses and electromagnetic interference; iii) An analytical discussion on voltage stress mitigation methods and improved control strategies; and iv) An assessment of emerging trends in integrating advanced power electronics with renewable energy systems. These contributions collectively provide a comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers, supporting the development of next-generation high-performance DC-DC converters tailored for sustainable energy applications.

Abstract

This work presents an innovative approach to improving efficiency and performance in photovoltaic (PV) systems through the development of a soft-switching high-gain Re Boost Luo converter. This converter integrates advanced soft-switching techniques to minimize switching losses, thereby enhancing overall system efficiency, which is crucial for applications requiring substantial voltage amplification from PV sources. The Re Boost Luo converter, with its inherent high-gain capability, facilitates superior voltage conversion ratios, enabling optimal energy extraction from PV panels across varying environmental conditions. The presented converter's design focuses on reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alleviating stress on switching components, thereby extending their operational lifespan and reliability. Detailed modeling and performance analysis were carried out using the MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment, which allowed for comprehensive evaluation of the converter's functionality. Simulation results confirm that the converter achieves significant improvements in voltage gain, energy conversion efficiency, and system reliability, effectively addressing common challenges associated with high-voltage PV applications. This study underscores the converter's potential to advance renewable energy technologies by providing a robust solution for high-efficiency energy conversion in PV systems.

Abstract

This paper presents an enhanced control strategy for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system employing a novel H-bridge multilevel inverter (MLI). The key contribution of this work lies in replacing the conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller with a super-twisting sliding mode controller (STSMC) for DC-link voltage regulation. Unlike earlier approaches that suffer from slow response, steady-state errors, and limited robustness under varying solar and temperature conditions, the proposed STSMC ensures faster transient response, finite-time convergence, and strong disturbance rejection without the chattering problem of classical sliding mode controllers. Another distinctive aspect of this study is the integration of STSMC with direct model predictive control (DMPC) for grid current regulation, enabling accurate reference current generation and improved synchronization. The novel H-bridge MLI topology further enhances system efficiency by reducing the number of switches while producing a seven-level output with lower total harmonic distortion (THD). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategy achieves superior performance compared to the conventional PI-based system, with improvements in voltage stability, current quality, and reduced THD. These findings confirm the novelty and effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for reliable and efficient PV grid integration.
