Extinction and the emission of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels led the field of energy studied took a revolutionary turn towards non-conventional natural sources achieving zero-pollution power. Electric vehicles (EVs) are trending in this new era to reduce the global warming. Due to limitations in storage systems, electric vehicles are not much popular but to reduce the pollution from vehicles, EVs are in must condition and recommended for (public/personal) transportation. EV (battery) is charged through a DC source (converting the available AC supply to DC). The conversion process diminishes the input source power factor and is a worrying factor. This paper addresses the power factor issue while charging the battery of EVs. The paper focuses on maintaining the unity power factor on the source side while charging the battery of the EV from AC-DC conversion. The model is developed and the results are discussed (for three different battery levels) using MATLAB/Simulink software.

The present paper is directed to achieve a low-cost high-performance self-starting single phase induction motor (SPIM) drive system. A phase shifted pulse width modulation (PWM) trains feeding the motor will replace the starting and running capacitors. Adaptive sliding mode control, enhance with model reference adaptive control (MRAC), is implemented to achieve high performance sensorless SPIM drive. The obtained results confirm the feasibility of the proposed system in starting and fast tracking the reference speed with nearly zero percentage overshoot and zero steady-state error. Moreover, the proposed SPIM drive system is robust to external load torque disturbances and insensitive to system parameter variations. Extensive simulations have been conducted to confirm the validity of the proposed system.

In recent decades, the matching between the growing energy demand and generation is becoming the challenging task to the researcher’s leads for the development of standalone solar photo voltaic (SSPV) power system. The SSPV system is more suited for electrification of essential loads uses DC power as it offers high efficiency. This work aims to model and simulate SSPV with lead acid battery is used as a DC source. The proposed series shunt charge controller with power management strategy (PMS)is designed and modeled to control the power flow among SSPV, battery and the load. adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller effectively regulates the output voltage by controlling duty ratio of the suitable converter for driving a DC load. A PMS is developed for selecting the operating mode of SSCC by sensing and regulating the battery voltage within 11.6-12.95 V. Here, the 250 Wp panel has been employed to charge a 12 V, 34 AH battery. The practicability of SSPVB system is verified under various loaded conditions using MATLAB/Simulink for a period of 24 hours. A simulation result proves that this SSPV Battery system is capable to electrify the essential loads in rural and isolated areas and also reduce the dependency of grid power.

In this research, a sensor free DC-link voltage controller based multifunctional inverter is proposed for a two-stage three-phase grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system. First, the proposed scheme consists of an outer voltage controller requiring DC-link voltage knowledge, has the ability to manage power-sharing between the PV system and the utility grid, and second, has the ability of the VSI to act as a compensator for harmonics in the grid current polluted by non-linear loads. The suggested active power controlling grid reference current signal scheme replaces the standard controller, requiring the high voltage sensor to sense DC-link voltage, which is pricey, increasing the hardware complexity and reducing reliability. The performance of the proposed active power management approach is comparable to that of a conventional voltage sensor-based voltage controller. The effectiveness of the proposed method for two stage three-phase grid-connected solar PV system under fixed and variable irradiance feeding nonlinear loads is rigorously verified using MATLAB/Simulink software.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) power, for its multiple benefits, has adhered to prominent consideration in the electrical energy generation region. The double-stage triple-phase grid-connected solar PV (SPV) system is utilized to enhance the power quality by employing a lymphoblastoid cell lines LCL filter. In this method, a DC-DC converter and DC-AC converter make a feasible juncture of the PV systems to the electrical interface. For converting boosted DC into AC, A 3-phase DC-AC converter is used, which is supplied into the grid. A 3-phase voltage converter is employed in place of an inverter for interfacing amid the voltage generated by the PV system and the grid possessing an AC transmission line. An maximum power point tracking (MPPT) application is used in this proposal to amplify the effectiveness of the PV array in face of any unsteady climatic circumstances. Hence, the highest energy could be secured out of the solar PV array and interfaced with the grid. Enhancing power quality by employing an LCL filter is quantified by FFT analysis in MATLAB. The advised proposal has attained a very low total harmonic distortion (THD), proving its efficacy. Also, the outcomes ascertain the applications of the proposed system and extend future advances of renewable energy with a great power quality improvement.

Analysis of bad data in an IEEE 14 bus system with phasor measuring units (PMU) devices is carried out in this paper. The normal operating condition data achieved from the PMU in the bus system is compared to the data achieved during faults in the bus system. A principal component analysis (PCA) technique is proposed in this paper for distinguishing the difference between data transmission during normal and fault conditions. The PCA approach detects the dynamical magnitudes of the measurements taken and also determines the noise caused by the disturbances. The grid system is updated with unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) improvising the parameters of the system to mitigate the fault. The PMU devices use PCA technique for a comparative analysis of the measured components analyzing the performance of the system under different operating conditions. The simulation of these modules is carried out in Simulink environment of MATLAB software with PCA done concerning time.

Cleaning frequency of the solar PV power system plays a major role in energy harvesting. This paper proposed an optimized cleaning frequency for the PV power plants. The objective is to maximize energy harvesting and increase financial profit. The proposed technique is tested in roof top grid connected 20 kW PV power plant in Cairo, Egypt. Experimental results are collected for one year throw the period from January 2021 to December 2021 based on real time monitoring under the regular cleaning of the PV plant every fifteen days. The collected data and results are used for deriving a formula to find the optimal frequency for cleaning the PV cells. This formula can be used for any PV power plant under different operating conditions. Therefore, the formula can detect the financial losses due to the dust accumulated on the surfaces of PV panels. The model proposed in this research is verified by the comparison between the generated power from the photovoltaic power plant and the cost of cleaning (water and cleaning workers) in case of manual cleaning, taking into consideration the various operating conditions though whole the period of the study.

The power quality issues are raised due to sag/swell, which affects the overall performance of the grid-connected system. This study introduces the hybrid control mechanism based on a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) to mitigate the sag and swell issues in the solar PV-based IEEE 33 bus system. The hybrid controller improves the dynamic performance and boosts the overall efficiency of the DVR system. The proposed work is also used to address the distribution system's voltage quality issues with minimal energy drawn out from the utility grid and effectively use solar energy. The sag and swell are introduced at the grid side and compensated at the load side by injecting DVR voltage. The proportional-integral (PI) controller followed by the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to create the hybrid control mechanism for DVR. In this work, the solar PV system with DVR system is connected to the 29th location in the IEEE 33 bus system for performance realization. The hybrid control mechanism-based DVR provides 1.06% and 1.05% total harmonic distortion (THD) at sag and swell conditions for load voltage. The proposed work meets the IEEE 519 standards in terms of THD calculation. The proposed design compares with existing work and shows better THD reduction for load voltages.

Energy conservation measures use less energy to reduce costs and the environmental impact without compromising the consumer’s comfort level. Low-cost energy conservation measures play a critical role in power saving on the usage of electronic devices. The paper compares two different facilities using air-conditioning applications to study the impacts of low-cost energy conservation measures (LCECM) in real-time operations. The effect was recorded at both facilities by lowering the air-conditioning running time and increasing its set temperature ensuring that there was no compromise in occupants’ comfort level. As per international performance measurement and verification (IPMV) protocol A, data analysis was done using pre- and post-experiment readings. IPMVP output was analyzed more by running a t-Test in the SPSS software. Results indicated energy conservation with a cumulative impact on carbon footprint, environment, and cost of importing fossil fuel. The limitations of this study are that the energy conservation measurements were made with limited facilities and respondents' restrictions.

Energy routers (ER) are the key equipment of the energy internet that provides control over bidirectional power flows and the voltage level of an electric network. The paper presents the thyristor-powered ER (TER) for an Internet-style medium voltage distribution electric network (6, 10, 20 kV). The developed scheme of the device implements longitudinal and transverse voltage regulation at the ER connection point and it allows changing the power flow and the voltage level in the network. The article is devoted to the study of the harmonic components of voltage introduced into the electrical network by the semiconductor elements of the TER. A mathematical and a computer model and a prototype of an electric network section with a TER have been developed. The studies carried out with the help of the developed models have shown that the device does not significantly distort sinusoidally. The harmonic components factor of the output voltage has acceptable values over the entire range of an effective regulation.
