Abstract

The study develops an optimized SHE procedure to regulate a CHB-MLI powered by PV modules which use unequal DC sources. The main goal involves finding suitable switching angles that produce minimal low-order harmonics during steady output voltage operation under variable input scenarios. The Red-Tailed Hawk Algorithm (RTHA) serves as a recent bio-inspired metaheuristic optimization method to solve effectively the nonlinear transcendental SHE equations. The MATLAB/Simulink environment implements a validation of the proposed method by modeling a three-phase 7-level CHB-MLI system. A performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm occurs against established optimization methods consisting of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). Total Harmonic Distortion reduction, computational efficiency and convergence rate serve as the three main performance indicators for evaluation. The experimental findings show RTHA accomplishes higher harmonic reduction while offering improved speed and stability when dealing with unequal DC voltage issues when contrasted against traditional optimization methods. RTHA operates better than analytical approaches in real-world inverter applications through its flexible and adaptable approach despite needing complex calculations and preset conditions. The scale-up of RTHA applications requires additional research because excessive computational requirements and initial value dependencies must be addressed. The research shows that RTHA-based SHE optimization represents a viable and implementable solution for power quality advancement in renewable energy systems.

Abstract

Modern power electronics depend heavily on Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) to drive high-power systems operating in renewable energy systems electric vehicles along with industrial motor drives. MLIs create AC signals of high quality by joining multiple DC voltage sources which leads to minimal harmonic distortion outputs. The Cascaded H-Bridge MLI (CHB-MLI) stands out as a first choice among different topologies of MLI for photovoltaic (PV) applications because it includes modular features with fault tolerance capabilities and excellent multi-DC source integration. To achieve effective operation MLIs need optimized control strategies that reduce harmonics while maintaining highest performance. Using SHE-PWM technology provides an effective technique for harmonic frequency reduction which allows the improvement of waveform integrity. Technical restrictions make the solution of SHE-PWM nonlinear equations exceptionally challenging to implement. The resolution of complex non-linear equations requires implementation of GA combined with PSO and BO for optimal switching angle determination. The research investigates an 11-level asymmetric CHB-MLI using five solar panels where SHE-PWM switching angles are optimized through GA, PSO and BO applications. Simulation tests validate that the implemented algorithms succeed in minimizing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and removing fundamental harmonic disturbances. The evaluation demonstrates distinct capabilities of each optimization approach between accuracy rates and computational speed performance. These optimization methods yield practical advantages which boost the performance of multi-level inverters. The researchers who follow should study actual hardware deployments together with combined control approaches to enhance power electronic applications.

Abstract

Wind is an effective renewable power source suitable for localized electricity production when regional environmental factors have substantial impact on system output. The research studies the best wind turbine placement through wind speed variability studies conducted with calibrated anemometers and data loggers that assess site conditions. A data-based assessment method creates the research's main contribution which facilitates the optimization of wind power potential measurement for enhanced energy efficiency. The research methodology includes continuous Vantage Pro2 equipment together with anemometers at different heights for wind speed observation while performing accuracy-based calibration analysis. The research shows that elevating the turbine from seven meters to ten meters leads to a 12 percent growth in the amount of power produced. The power output of wind energy decreases as wind speed changes because of environmental conditions so proper installation locations become essential. Energy performance increases best when selecting sites which feature reliable and elevated wind speeds. This research provides useful knowledge about enhancing decentralized power generation through wind energy but it cannot be easily scaled up to bigger systems. The study demonstrates that specific site assessments together with practical recommendations will enhance the efficiency of small-scale wind energy systems.

Abstract

Through intelligent control and data-driven decision-making, Industry 4.0 transforms industrial automation by combining the digital, physical, and virtual worlds. The use of advanced control techniques, especially Fractional-Order PID (FOPID) controllers, has drawn a lot of attention due to the rising need for accurate and energy-efficient industrial automation. By examining recent developments in the application of energy-efficient FOPID controllers for Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based automation systems, this review tries to bridge a gap in the body of literature. The study thoroughly examines more than ten years of research, classifying contributions according to optimization, fractional calculus approximations, and control design techniques. The reported results from various studies are compared using key performance indicators like energy consumption, ISE, ITAE, and IAE. The results show that FOPID controllers continuously perform better than classical PID in terms of energy efficiency, robustness, and control accuracy. However, there are still difficulties in striking a balance between real-time constraints and computational complexity, particularly in industrial settings. This review emphasizes how FOPID controllers can be used to achieve automation that is Industry 4.0 compatible, adaptive, and energy-efficient. It also emphasizes the necessity of future studies into hybrid optimization and lightweight implementation for nextgeneration PLC systems, as well as the need for standardized benchmarking frameworks.
