Novel technologies are adopting electric vehicles (EVs) day-by-day due to increasing interest in EVs. The charging process of EVs is a very important aspect when it is connected to the utility grid. Generally charging of an EV can be done at either home or in charging stations were connected to the utility grid. More harmonics and nonlinear currents are injecting into the utility grid during the charging process of the battery due to the existence of converters for power conversion in charging stations of EVs, which generally affects the quality of the power. In this situation, supplying the power to the utility grid from batteries existing in the vehicle through the charging station will provide a better solution and will charge again when there is less demand on the grid. Further using renewable energies in the charging stations can provide reliable power for both vehicles as well as the utility grid. To achieve better performance and maintain power quality at load bus, an aggregated controller is proposed in this paper. Moreover, reloading conditions are also incorporated to renewable energy sources under disconnection of the utility grid to maintain power balance. Hardware-in the–loop (HIL) based extensive results by using OPAL-RT modules are examined in this article under many situations to validate the proposed method.

RES based DG’s are effectively used in DS due to government initiations and benefits. These are also support customer power demands in DS. However, few problems are facing in operation DG’s with existing DS, like parallel operation, islanding detection and majorly power quality problems due go harmonics. In this paper a hybrid control technique proposed to improve the power quality and conversion efficiency. A test case of single phase 3.5 kW PV system based autonomous micro grid is considered. PSO and HHO optimal control strategies are implemented under standard test case and variable test cases. In all the cases Vmpv (V), Impv (A), Vrms (V), Irms (A), Ppv (W), Pg (W), Efficiency (%), THD (%), Inverter Losses (%) are evaluated. In all the cases HHO optimal control strategy for autonomous microgrid exhibits the best performance in comparison with PSO optimal control strategy. The inverter efficiency is improved, inverter losses are reduced and the THD is improved.

This paper presents an analytical approach to determine the performance characteristics of an outer rotor Brushless DC (BLDC) motor using finite element analysis (FEA). An accurate performance characteristic is a crucial deliverable during the early motor design process in order to minimize the cost of change while delivering a feasible design to the application. There are several popular methods to determine motor performance, including template-based software as well as FEA. However, these two methods have limitations in terms of geometry and time. Therefore, this paper proposes that the limitations can be addressed by using a combination of FEA and mathematical equations. First, the optimum motor design is determined using an FEA analytical approach. Second, the torque constant KT, is derived from the FEA results and followed by performance curve generation using the mathematical equation of speed, current, and output power in terms of torque function. Finally, the outcome results are verified against the motor requirements, including an assessment of maximum speed, stall current, and maximum output power. In conclusion, this research introduces a methodology for determining full curve motor performance prior to prototype fabrication. The leverage benefit could be gained through robust design and low-cost development.

This work deals with the two-diode model of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. It provides the per-unit energy and current representations in addition to identifying its unknown parameters. Mathematical equations have been proposed and built using the MATLAB/Simulink simulator to achieve this goal. Only one variable has been adjusted to get all the unknown parameters simultaneously at standard test conditions (STC). Three variables have to be adjusted under any other atmospheric conditions. Two different technologies have been used. The accuracy of the proposed mathematical model has been provided using the absolute relative error between the simulated value and the measured one. The biggest values of the absolute relative error are 0.000788%, 0.0006157%, and 0.000616% under STC, nominal cell temperature condition (NOCT), and random daily atmospheric conditions, respectively.

Substations usually employ shunt reactors to reduce the reactive power of systems. Due to current chopping when the shunt reactor is shut off, a high frequency and amplitude overvoltage is generated. This study was aimed at eliminating switching-related overvoltages in shunt reactors so as to maintain the equipment, prevent insulation failure, and avoid reignition. Therefore, the circuit was modified according to the suggested mitigation strategy to verify that transient overvoltages are suppressed by the circuit breaker and shunt reactor. With a view to evaluate the existing chopping caused by the switching of reactor bank, the alternative transients program (ATP-Draw) model was used to simulate the transients resulting from switching a shunt reactor. This work has been put into practice for various current chopping values. The collected results of the simulation showed that the proposed model was significantly highlighted for the suppression of overvoltages, with the voltage across the circuit breaker being reduced from 679 KV to 478 KV at a current chopping value of 5 A and from 351 KV to 152 KV across the shunt reactor.

Over the years, numerous maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods have been developed to extract the maximum available power from PV arrays. They are generally categorized as conventional or metaheuristic methods. The most employed conventional methods include perturb and observe (P&O), hill climbing (HC), and incremental conductance (INC), due to their simplicity and ease of implementation. However, under partial shading condition (PSC), none of them can effectively locate a global maximum power point (GMPP) out of many local maximum power points (LMPPs). This results in significant power loss during PSC, prompting the development of various metaheuristic-based MPPT methods to address the problem. This paper reviews 38 existing metaheuristic-based MPPTs and 27 metaheuristic methods that have not yet been applied to any MPPT operation up to date. Metaphorically, these methods are divided into four categories: (i) evolutionary-based, (ii) physics-based, (iii) swarm-based, and (iv) human-based. The different MPPTs are compared in terms of complexity, converter topology, and PSC tracking capability. This paper is intended to serve as a one-stop resource for any researcher, practitioner, or advanced student seeking to develop a new metaheuristic-based MPPT method.

The need to cut carbon emissions and the worry about global warming will be two of the major issues of the twenty-first century. Globally, academics are researching renewable energy sources, with the majority of their efforts focused on the converter side, which is critical to contemporary society. For energy conversion, fuel cells provide an alternative to internal combustion engines. Despite the fact that typical DC-to-DC converters experience high stress and minimal voltage rise, the bulk of research focuses on voltage lift. Researchers from all around the globe use DC-DC converters to control the voltage of fuel cells. If the targets are fulfilled, more switches will be placed, resulting in higher losses. The boost-cuk converter in this research has a high voltage gain and low switching strain. Initially, this contributed to the development of self-control. Switching losses are reduced when just one switch is used. A DC-DC converter is employed in this research to transform the electricity provided by fuel cells. The alternating supply is then sent to the brushless direct current (BLDC) motor by the PWM inverter. The work starts by building MATLAB simulation blocks. Finally, Simulink is used to display the simulated output waveforms of the intended converter.

Electricity is the best technological advancement ever. Power is now used for everything in our culture because of how far it has come. Quiddity of life would not be possible without it. We know that the sole free hotspot for the PV module in our environmental factors is the sun. The PV cell changes sun-powered energy into electrical energy when the sun radiates on it. At the point when you produce power with the sunlight-based chargers, no ozone-harming substance emanations are placed into the climate. Since, the sun creates more energy than any manmade process at any point requires so as a result, in this article we will look at a variety of ways as well as a successful MPP strategy with high efficacy. It encompasses incremental conductance, perturbs & observe, and fuzzy logic approaches. A boost (DC-DC) converter ameliorates the likeness between a solar array and storage or power grid. In many solar-producing systems, DC/DC converters assist in surveilling the utmost power point by acting as a bridge betwixt load and solar panel. The intent of achieving the highest possible electricity can be done by calibrating the load to compare the current and voltage of a photovoltaic cell.

The permanent magnet of brushless DC (BLDC) motor is ideally suited for high-speed application due to its superior performance and efficient as compared to other types of electrical motors. However, to operate in high-speed operation, the rotors that hold the magnet must be able to withstand high centrifugal force. Due to that, the main objective of this project is to design and develop the suitable rotor for high-speed BLDC motor through the finite element method (FEM) Ansys Maxwell modeling software. In addition, this project is also carried out to determine the ability of the modeled software to reach the high-speed performances in terms of cogging torque and induce voltage. In this project, the selected BLDC motor was fabricated and measured experimentally. The result showed that the designed rotor can achieve speed of almost 14,500 rpm.

Electric vehicles (EVs) and their associated charging stations (CSs) are a promising avenue for greenhouse gas reduction and energy security. However, improper location and size of the EV charging station (CSs/EVs) negatively affect the power system. It results in some technical challenges such as increased real power-loss, decreased voltage stability and increased voltage deviation. This paper suggests optimum planning of CSs/EVs locations to conserve voltage, improve power-loss and reduce the effect of CSs/EVs in electrical distribution systems. The multi objective genetic algorithm method (MOGA) is utilized to solve the optimization problem and reduce the impact of the random location of CSs/EVs. The simulations are performed on IEEE 33-bus and IEEE 69-bus radial distribution systems (RDS). In addition, the optimal EV allocation is carried out with two fixed levels of loading from 100% to 150% of the candidate EV load. A comparison between the proposed MOGA technique and other optimization techniques is carried out. The results demonstrated the capability of the proposed technique for optimal placement of CSs/EVs in RDS. Moreover, it is providing an objective value to solve a complex multi-objective nonlinear optimization problem to reduce the total power-loss, improve the voltage profile and extend the voltage stability.
