Abstract

Solar energy is a reliable and eco-friendly solution for power outages in Karbala, Iraq. This study presents a smart grid technology model for energy management in electrical systems, optimizing power schemes and economic benefits through a unique spatial distribution approach in Iraq, with the primary objective of ensuring consistent base loads for smart homes while achieving other economic goals. The algorithm’s effectiveness was tested in three different scenarios. The energy was supplied by the national grid and battery bank-powered base loads. Meteorological data, including temperature and solar radiation, was gathered from a station in Karbala city for testing and evaluation. The study found that energy consumption decreased by 85% in April, with solar energy accounting for 37% of the total consumption. Smart homes saved 48% of energy, reducing reliance on the grid to 15%, as well as the reduction of energy consumption reached up to 47% and 60% in January and July, respectively, with solar energy estimated at 14% and 26% in those months.

Abstract

Electric elevators often experience significant jerks that can shorten their lifespan and cause passenger discomfort, especially during acceleration and deceleration. To address this issue, this study presents the development and implementation of S-curve motion profiles for a prototype three-floor rope elevator system. The elevator cabin is driven by a three-phase induction motor using sensorless vector control technology, with a variable frequency drive (VFD) managing the cabin's velocity. The findings indicate that employing S-curve motion profiles reduces jerk by approximately 29.43% when the elevator is ascending without a load and by 48.15% when descending without a load. In the loaded scenario, the elevator experiences a significant reduction in jerk, decreasing by 48.78% during ascent and 52.08% during descent. By smoothing out abrupt acceleration changes, the reduction in jerk leads to a more seamless motion of the elevator car, significantly enhancing passenger comfort. Consequently, this approach improves the efficiency and reliability of elevator operations, providing a versatile platform for future vertical transportation advancements.
