Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) panels have drawback of having their peak power reduced when clouds or shade are present. Furthermore, it is only available while the sun shine. Nearby structures, plants, bird droppings, and other obstacles shade operating photovoltaic (PV) devices, effectively reducing the incident solar radiation produced by the modules. When these PV panels are exposed to partial shading, their power efficiency is reduced. A neural network with a kind of artificial neural network is used in the suggested hybrid method (ANN). The key focus of this article is to use environmental effects dependent on partial shading to get the maximum performance from a solar system. The suggested hybrid solution is tested in the MATLAB/Simulink working platform using partial shading test cases, and the efficiency is compared to other approaches. Additionally, the best options for the suggested procedure, current, voltage, and power are examined.

Abstract

There are certain challenges faced with wireless sensor networks (WSNs) performances, consumption can be seen amongst all these challenges as a serious area of research. Data from sensor nodes are transmitted by most WSN energy either among many nodes or to the base station (BS), and due this connection, several routing protocols were developed for supporting in data transmission in the WSNs. Extending network lifetime in an operational environment is the major objective of the wireless sensor network. Charging or exchanging sensor node batteries is almost impossible. Energy balancing and energy efficiency are significant research scopes as per designing of routing protocols aimed at self-organized WSNs. A heterogeneous WSN is one where every node has different amount of energy linked to it before it is deployed in a network. Therefore, different energy efficient routing protocols have been proposed which enables lesser consumption of energy, longer stability period which leads to the network lifetime increasing. In this study, the average energy of a WSN is computed after every logical round of operation for our protocol-HPEEA and compare it with two well-known heterogeneous protocols namely-SEP and CCS. At the end of the considered number of logical operations, MATLAB with simulation results confirm that HPEEA protocol have a reduction in the energy consumption compared to other protocols.

Abstract

The power electronic component has been widely used in the current industrial era. It has been considered more efficient than the previous devices as it saves more space and uses less power. One example of power electronic components is the variable speed drive for speed regulation of electric motors in the industrial world. Another application of power electronic components is to be used in energy-saving lamps. The use of power electronic components in these two loads generates harmonic distortion and reduces network power quality. In this paper, the authors analyzed the harmonics in both loads. As a result, the total harmonic distortion (THD) current for four energy-saving lamps is 88.3%. Meanwhile, the THD current at the 50 Hz, 5 A, and variable speed drive is 46.2%. After mixing the two loads, the THD current decreases by around 35%.

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) can be seen as a mobile nodes collection having no support of fixed infrastructure and therefore its communication is totally dependent on the network's nodes. As a result of the mobility of nodes, rapid and unpredictable changes occur within the mobile ad hoc network (MANET) arrangements. Therefore, this makes the analysis of routing protocols very crucial so as to enhance efficient communication between the wireless nodes. IPv4 and IpV6 within the MANET is another issue of concern. IPv4 which has been traditionally used for ages and IPv6; predicted to be the forthcoming network architecture model is investigated because of its protection which has been improved as well as its enormous address space provision. The analysis on Ad Hoc On Demand Vector and Dynamic Manet On Demand routing protocols are performed using Qualnet simulator under the IPv4 and IPv6 standards. A thorough evaluation of the usability and functionality of the simulator software is carried out. The metrics for performance are; Throughput, End-to-End Delay and Average jitter. Afterwards, analyses and summary of the results is conducted and summarized in order to make available an assessment of their performances.

Abstract

In recent decades, researchers have become interested in the photovoltaic (PV) system as one of the renewable energies. There are nonlinear I-V and P-V features in the PV generators. The greatest power generated varies with temperature and irradiation. To increase PV power, it is necessary to watch MPP carefully. In order to avoid some of shortcomings of conventional perturb & observe (P&O) MPP tracking approach and increase the transient responsiveness and decrease oscillations of steady-state terminal voltage, this study introduces a modified (P&O) MPPT algorithm employing fuzzy logic-based variable step size. An indoor simulated PV source built from a typical solar panel, DC power supplying, a DC-DC converter, in addition to P&O-based MPPT controlling unit was used to create and test the suggested MPPT algorithm. To demonstrate the P&O strategy's performance benefits under both constant and fluctuating irradiations and temperatures, their simulation under unsteady state circumstances is already performed with MATLAB/Simulink. Results of the simulations demonstrate that the photovoltaic simulation system can precisely monitor the highest power point. According to the simulation findings, efficiency is attained at 95% under typical test settings and at 96% when the weather is unpredictable and there are changes in temperature and irradiance.

Abstract

The great development witnessed by investments in renewable energy has made it the focus of researchers’ attention in order to increase its efficiency. This is due to the increase in demand for electrical energy due to rapid technological growth, increase in population numbers, and high fuel prices that are used in the production of traditional electrical energy, but it suffers from a problem that is greatly affected by two factors, namely, the change in the intensity of solar irradiation and temperature, which makes its electrical characteristics non-linear, which causes a decrease in its efficiency. To address the efficiency problem, the researchers developed several techniques for tracking the MPP point and extracting the maximum energy from the solar panels under various measurement conditions. Maximum power point tracking technology (MPPT) technology is the most widely used technology in solar energy systems. In this article, MPPT technology is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink for the purposes of extracting maximum power and managing the duty cycle of a DC-DC buck converter. The performance of the photovoltaic system under various irradiance fluctuations and settings of constant temperature could well be determined using simulation results. Under standard and varied test settings, allowing the inverter to convert over 99% of the electricity provided by the solar panels.
