Abstract

Climate change effects influence the sustainability of wind and photovoltaic energies as renewable sources. Similarly, infrastructure for renewable energy is structurally vulnerable to lightning strikes. Hence, a system for detecting and monitoring lightning activity is necessary to predict and adapt to climate change trends and to enhance the lightning protection system's capability. One such system for observing and locating lightning is very high frequency (VHF) interferometry. Various factors, such as the baseline distance between sensors, the frequencies used, and the quality of the analyzed signal, will influence the system's accuracy. This paper discusses these factors through an extensive literature review. This study aims to identify the factor that most significantly affects the system's accuracy and to determine the technical adjustments required to improve this accuracy. Enhanced precision in the interferometry system will provide a more detailed view of lightning activity, thereby aiding in the climate change prediction that could impact electricity generation from renewable sources. Accurate lightning location detection can also serve as a basis for designing effective lightning protection systems for renewable energy infrastructure.

Abstract

This paper presents the improvement of a low-cost, single-phase pure sine wave inverter controlled by a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent. The study addresses the challenge of lacking performance of low-cost inverter, which is primarily due to the stability requirements of conventional control strategies. A DRL- based control approach is proposed to enhance voltage and frequency stability while reducing the need for extensive manual tuning. The system is validated through both simulation and experimental verification in a microgrid islanded configuration. The results demonstrate that the DRL-based inverter effectively maintains 220 VRMS at 50 Hz, achieving a stable root mean square voltage of 219.8 V, and a total harmonic distortion (THD) below 8%. The use of DRL making it an attractive solution for renewable energy systems, off-grid applications, and rural electrification. This study highlights the feasibility of DRL in power electronics and suggests that further optimization of training generalization and computational efficiency could enhance real-time and grid-tied deployment. The findings contribute to the advancement of intelligent inverter control, offering an alternative for next-generation microgrid and distributed energy systems.
