Abstract

In linear quadratic regulator (LQR), two different weighting matrices play an important role in presenting the performance of this controller. Instead of using classic common approach, which is trial and error method, this study proposes a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to track the best solution of the weighting matrices. The proposed algorithm is tested on shunt hybrid active power filter (APF) to mitigate the harmonic contents in voltage and current signals in a nonlinear load system. The modeling work of this proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software. From the simulation, the obtained results proved that using PSO in tuning the LQR controller produce smoother nonlinear voltage and current signals. In fact, the amount of current to be injected into network can be reduced up to 95%. Besides, less time is consumed during searching the optimum weighting matrices using the proposed approach.

Abstract

The air streams from the outlet of an air compressor can be used to generate electricity. For instance, if a micro-sized Vertical-Axis Wind-Turbine (VAWT) is installed towards the airflow, some amount of electricity can be generated before being stored in a battery bank. The research’s objectives are to design, fabricate and analyze the performance of Helical Savonius VAWT blade rotors, which is tested with and without using a wind concentrator. The Helical Savonius VAWT is tested at 0 cm without the concentrator, whereas the blade rotor is tested at concave-blade position when using the concentrator. The blade and the wind concentrator designs were based on the dimensions and the constant airflow of the air compressor. The findings suggested that the blade produced its best performance when tested using wind concentrator at concave-blade position in terms of angular speed (ω), tip speed ratio (TSR) and the generated electrical power (PE). The findings concluded that the addition of wind concentrator increases the airflow which then provided better performances on the blades.

Abstract

This paper presents the performance of a fabricated small-sized Savonious wind turbine with two blades. The design of Savonius vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) was based on Malaysia wind speed condition. Meanwhile, the design of wind concentrator was based on the dimensions and the constant airflow of an air compressor. From the experimental testing in a laboratory, it was found that the proposed Savonious turbine has best performance when tested using wind concentrator. To conclude, airflow from air compressor can be increased when the proposed wind concentrator is used and hence increasing the proposed VAWT performance in terms of its angular speed (ω), tip speed ratio (TSR) and the generated electrical power (PE).

Abstract

Load profile for residential users is different from commercial users where peak load occurs outside of work hours compared to working hours. Consequently, the Time of Use-based electricity price must be different not only in terms of price, but also in terms of time block structure. This paper examines the impacts of different TOU structures on TOU prices and load profiles of residential consumer. Four TOU structures are tested on the real load profile for a selected residential consumer area in Malaysia. Two elasticity factors are used for each structure to represent two different groups of users, a group that responds highly to price changes and a group that does not. The TOU price set for each structure is determined optimally subject to the following constraints; the price difference between the TOU and a fixed price per hour should be minimized and the amount of difference between price increase and price drop should be equal. From the analysis, the TOU structure with 12-time blocks provides better price signals and peak load reduction.

Abstract

The rising demand for dependable power supply in tropical areas, characterized by frequent grid instability, requires the use of automated transfer switches (ATS) in hybrid photovoltaic (PV)-grid systems. This study assesses the efficacy of an Arduino Mega 2560-based Automated Testing System (ATS) coupled with a 100 Wp polycrystalline photovoltaic panel and a 12 V 100 Ah battery in the tropical climate of Lampung, Indonesia, over a span of 15 consecutive days in January. The process encompasses hardware design, the construction of a control algorithm based on a multi-objective cost function incorporating risk factors, field data gathering, and MATLAB simulation. The findings indicate that the system attains 80% grid independence based on day count and exceeds 95% based on total energy, accompanied with a minimal switching frequency of 0.2 occurrences per day, signifying stable operation devoid of chattering. A significant contribution is the optimization of the shortfall threshold: adjusting the threshold from 0 Wh to –10 Wh decreases grid reliance from three days to one day, enhancing PV utilization from 80% to 93.3% without adding battery capacity. The relationship between irradiance and photovoltaic energy is robust (r = 0.94, R² = 0.88), with an average system efficiency of 10.04%, which is plausible for polycrystalline panels in hot, humid environments, including cable, inverter, and heat losses. The boxplot analysis verifies the absence of overlap between energy balances on photovoltaic days and grid days, hence affirming the reliability of ATS judgments. In conclusion, the suggested ATS featuring an adjustable deficit threshold is an economical and dependable option for telecommunication infrastructure in tropical developing areas.
