It's important to examine and handle the issue of green energy generation in inaccessible locations. Nonrenewable hybrid power has environmental and economic impacts. Reliable electricity and energy efficiency are priorities. Renewable energy that is eco-friendly and doesn't affect the environment. Solar and wind power, two ecologically benign and load-sharing-capable forms of renewable energy, are included in this technique. At the same time, solar power will keep the load voltage balanced and the system stable thanks to the inclusion of a DC-DC converter. The asynchronous generator has been selected because of its low maintenance needs and extended service life; nevertheless, the voltage on the load side is unbalanced when this machine is in operation. An asynchronous generator can be a viable alternative to well-developed synchronous generators for use in wind turbines or small hydro generators because they have relatively inexpensive costs, are simple, require inadequate maintenance, possess adequate resistance to wear and tear, and have reduced overload damage. It is difficult to maintain a continuous supply of energy in faraway regions because of the lack of related work in the power distribution networks. This problem is addressed in this paper by a well-designed converter that maintains a constant output voltage.

The electrical energy is necessary for daily life, but there is a continuous increase in the usage rate of electric energy. Such an increase is a big problem, which makes us think about using alternative energy for conventional energy, in addition to the problem of pollution resulting from the use of energy generation. Solar energy is a solution for energy in terms of consumption, besides there is no environmental risk in the use of solar energy. In this work, an integrated solar system operating in the daytime has been designed to operate a 3-phase induction motor (IM). The study begins by simulating the system in the MATLAB/Simulink program in order to find out the results and verify them using the same components of the proposed algorithm. The system with photovoltaic (PV) modules 1080 W, whereas the PV array is a direct source of the designed split source inverter (SSI). This SSI is controlled by sine pulse width modulation (SPWM). The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) incremental conductance (INC) method is monitored by a computer connected to the system via a Wi-Fi connection, the 3-phase IM (373) W. The results reveal the efficiency of the system and that it can be versatile.

A stand-alone self-excited wind energy conversion system (WECS) is considered commonly used in remote areas due to its simple control and low cost. This paper introduces the performance analysis of a stand-alone self-excited reluctance generator (SERG) under balanced and unbalanced operations. An asymmetrical component is proposed to obtain the positive and negative sequence components of voltages and currents in addition to the unbalanced voltage factor of SERG. The obtained results have been validated and compared with experimental results obtained from a laboratory prototype of a 5.5 kW synchronous reluctance generator driven by a dc motor as a prime-mover under unbalanced excitation capacitors and unbalanced loads. The comparison verifies the applicability of the proposed model.

This paper focuses on the control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) utilizing a non-linear adaptive PI-Backstepping design and a model of harmonics reduction approach that uses an active shunt filter followed by a cascade bandpass filter. While conventional backstepping may assure the system's stability, it is often imprecise. It creates a significant amount of static error, which has a detrimental effect on the system's behavior, such as disruptions and loads that might arise in industrial settings. We can assure minimum fixed errors and considerable interaction with uncertainty by integrating the PI controller with adaptive backstepping through robust Lyapunov functions. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the proposed controller's effectiveness.

Linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (LPMSM) has emerged as a viable alternative to other linear motors for higher thrust lifting action. With the advancement of permanent magnets, LPMSM could contribute to energy conversation while also being suitable for applications requiring higher thrust, such as elevator. However, because the existing LPMSM is larger in size, it requires more space to be equipped with a household elevator. To address this issue, a new LPMSM with increased thrust capability has been proposed. The new LPMSM is modelled and analyzed in terms of back EMF and force in this paper. For improved performance, a symmetrical EMF vector is applied to the new LPMSM. In terms of back EMF and force, 4 LPMSM models are studied. According to the results, 6 slot 4 pole has the highest back EMF when compared to the others. As a suitable combination of slot and pole, a symmetrical EMF vector is the suggested LPMSM at the end of this research.

The absence of meteorological data to identify the energy resources and the available energy potential represented a major obstacle in some areas in Djibouti. To solve this data problem, in this paper, wind and solar potential were assessed by collecting daily and monthly wind and solar data for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2020, for Herkalou and Lake Assal site. This study highlights that the wind resources in the Lake Assal location are falling into class 7 with high wind speed value of 16 m.s-1 and the wind energy reaching1700 kWh/m2 at 100 m height above ground level. While the Herkalou site shows a lower potential with value of 7.5 m.s-1 and 160 kWh/m2. The solar potential shows a similar distribution and a constantly high level of solar radiation throughout the year, with the monthly maximum global radiation peaks of around 900 W/m² between 11.00 and 14.00 pm for both sites. The highest monthly average of global solar irradiation values was 5.29 kWh/m2 day-1 and 6.90 kWh/m2 day-1 in March for Herkalou and Lake Assal, respectively. Results obtained in this study are favorable to deploying the solar and wind technologies for the studied sites.

This paper presents the analysis of the actual, predicted, and simulated technical performance of a residential 2.835 kWp retrofitted grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) system under the feed-in-tariff (FiT) scheme in Klang, Malaysia located in the equatorial region. The technical performance indices of the GCPV system were assessed based on the three-year energy production in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The actual and predicted technical performance were calculated using SEDA mathematical model, which the solar irradiation data was acquired from PVsyst software. Meanwhile, the simulated technical performance was obtained using PVsyst software. The results showed that the prediction using mathematical model has higher percentage difference within the range of 12.54-13.29%, compared to PVsyst simulation that was within 7.93-11.93%. This study has highlighted the factors that contributed to the technical performance underprediction of both mathematical model and PVsyst simulation, which are the estimation of losses and annual irradiation data accuracy. Lastly, the FiT gross income calculated for the three consecutive years were within the range of 3310.80 MYR and 3357.30 MYR. This FiT gross income result conveys an example of Malaysian case study, to enlighten the public, on the economic aspect of installing GCPV system under FiT scheme.

The four-wheel-drive electric vehicle's traction chain is powered by four permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), powered by a single three-phase, five-leg inverter (FLI). In order to achieve the behavior of a mechanical differential and to require the parallel wheel-motors to turn at identical or different speeds, using this structure, an independent control is applied on each driving wheel. For this particular structure, there is a shared inverter leg between the two phases of two machines. The other two phases of each machine are attached to their own two inverter legs. This work's main focus is the suggestion of a new DTC technique for the control of an electric vehicle (EV) with two set bi-PMSM motor-wheels fed in parallel by a single three-phase five-leg inverter. The simulation results show that this new control technique can ensure excellent dynamics of the electric vehicle driving system.

A practical monitoring system implementing an asynchronous interrupt driven sampling technique has been developed in this research. This system is intended to acquire power-line single-phase voltage and current signals as well as their related information such as RMS values and harmonic contents. The system uses a voltage transformer and a current transducer to acquire the signals of the voltage and current. A microcontroller is used in the system to perform acquisition processes, calculation, and wireless data transmission. The design activities include the development of hardware of the system and software in the microcontroller as well as monitoring software with Bluetooth technology that will run on portable devices. As part of the research, a new sampling technique was developed to provide constant and precise timings during the acquisition processes. In this technique, some peripherals related to the acquisition process were driven asynchronously using interrupt mechanisms. Some experimentation has been carried out, and the result showed that the system implementing this technique could successfully manage the timings for the synchronous acquisition sequences. Furthermore, the use of the Bluetooth interfaces in the system allowed practical monitoring process to be performed using portable devices.
