Abstract

To operate a microgrid system in islanded mode, it is essential to analyze the economic feasibility and performance of the system. The proposed system integrates two or more renewable energy sources, providing a promising solution for meeting energy needs sustainably. Conducting a techno-economic analysis of such microgrid systems is critical to maximizing the efficient utilization of renewable energy sources. The simulations for these microgrid systems are performed using HOMER Pro software, where various economic parameters—such as cost of energy (COE), electricity production, net present cost (NPC), carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and payback period—are evaluated for the proposed systems. Additionally, the system's performance is analyzed using PSIM software, which incorporates optimal switching control. The results are further validated using a prototype hardware setup. The findings indicate that the PV/hydro system with NPC: 705,658 Rs and payback period: 9.65 years is the most suitable option for meeting the electricity demand in rural areas. Also, through optimal switching control applied to the micro grid converter the output voltage achieved is seven levels and harmonic distortion is 3.7% for voltage and 1.7% for the current.

Abstract

This study compares direct and indirect technology diffusion in higher education, focusing on plagiarism detection software in Indian doctoral education. Using a quantitative survey of research scholars, the study finds that direct diffusion significantly improves outcomes. Similarity levels decreased substantially under direct diffusion, indicating more accurate application of plagiarism rules. Additionally, direct diffusion reduced the time required and lowered costs considerably. The findings suggest that direct access empowers users, minimizes intermediary-related inefficiencies, and enhances both effectiveness and efficiency. The study highlights cost-effectiveness as a key enabler and recommends that policymakers and institutions promote direct technology diffusion to improve adoption and strengthen academic integrity in higher education.
