Abstract

Recent research has concerted on transformer-less multilevel inverters (TL-MLIs) due to their high-voltage or high-power capacity for converting the low-voltage output of renewable energy sources to the desired output. Moreover, they yield higher efficiency, lower cost and size than the conventional type. However, these inverters usually suffer from leakage current. The proposed inverter attempts to accommodate this concern to the greatest extent feasible. The proposed inverter structure exhibits a common ground between the input and output ports. Due to this, the total common mode voltage (CMV) is constant. The photovoltaic (PV) source to the grid parasitic capacitor is short-circuited due to this common ground feature, which results in negligible leakage current. The proposed inverter also features a boosting output voltage using only a single voltage source with minimum power devices. The number of output levels can be increased with the modular application of the proposed inverter. Finally, the mathematical analysis for the proposed inverter has been accomplished, and the MATLAB/Simulink simulation results are presented. Also, the results show the output voltage boost capability, zero leakage current and suitable total harmonic distortion for output voltage and current waveforms.

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) have transformed the transportation sector, offering a sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel-powered vehicles. However, their widespread adoption faces challenges such as inadequate charging infrastructure, range anxiety, and concerns about user convenience. Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology provides an efficient, reliable, and user-friendly charging solution that eliminates physical connections, enabling both static and dynamic charging applications. This review explores key components of WPT systems, including wireless charging schemes, compensation circuits, coupling pad structures, and misalignment tolerance, emphasizing their impact on system efficiency and reliability. Findings highlight that WPT can enhance charging convenience, reduce dependence on large battery capacities, and support seamless EV integration into daily life. Additionally, WPT systems improve safety, lower maintenance needs, and create opportunities for autonomous charging. Key advancements in compensation topologies, coupling pad geometries, and misalignment-tolerant capabilities are discussed alongside their role in enhancing power transfer efficiency. By offering insights into the current state-of-the-art and future directions, this paper aims to support the development and deployment of WPT systems, contributing to the global transition toward sustainable transportation.

Abstract

This research introduces an adaptive improved particle swarm optimization (AIPSO) approach for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach designed to enhance energy harvesting from photovoltaic (PV) systems under dynamic irradiance conditions. The proposed AIPSO algorithm addresses the challenges associated with traditional MPPT methods, particularly in scenarios characterized by fluctuating solar irradiance, such as step changes and partial shading. By incorporating a robust reinitialization strategy along with updated velocity and position equations, the algorithm demonstrates superior performance in terms of convergence accuracy, tracking speed, and tracking efficiency. This modification enables the algorithm to effectively escape local maxima and explore a wider search space, leading to improved convergence and optimal power point tracking. Furthermore, the adaptive nature of the PSO enhances the algorithm’s ability to respond to real-time changes in environmental conditions, making it particularly suitable for large- scale PV systems subjected to varying atmospheric factors. Here, “adaptive” denotes coefficient scheduling (C3) and a re-initialization trigger that responds to irradiance regime changes; “intelligent” denotes robust regime shift detection and safe duty ratio clamping. Across uniform, step change, and partial shading conditions, the proposed AIPSO achieves fast reconvergence and high tracking efficiency with negligible steady state oscillations, as summarized in the results. Building on this contribution, future research will focus on evaluating its scalability across different PV architectures and large-scale grid integration with real hardware setup.
