<![CDATA[In rural areas, grid expansions and diesel generators are commonly used to provide electricity, but their high maintenance costs and CO2 emissions make renewable energy sources (RES) a more practical alternative. Traditional methods such as analytical, statistical, and numerical-based techniques are inadequate for designing an energy-efficient RES. Therefore, this study utilized the bat algorithm (BA) to optimize the use of hybrid RES for rural electrification. A feasibility study was conducted in the village of Kalema to assess energy consumption, and a diesel-only system was modeled to serve the entire community. The BA was used to determine the optimal size and cost-effectiveness of the hybrid RES, with MATLAB R (2021a) utilized for simulation. The BA's performance was compared with diesel only and GA using cost of energy (COE) and CO2 emissions as metrics. Diesel generators only produced a COE of $6,562,000 and 1679.6 lb/hr of CO2 emissions. COE with BA was $356,9781.37 (a 45.6% reduction) and CO2 emissions were 635.29 lb/hr (a 62.2% drop). Genetic algorithm (GA) resulted in $364,3122.46 COE and 652.69 lb/hr CO2 emissions, indicating 61.1% and 44.5% decreases, respectively. BA significantly reduced COE and CO2 emissions over GA, according to the analysis.]]>

<![CDATA[Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), a promising green technology, convert solar energy into electricity more cost-effectively than traditional solar cells. While platinum (Pt) is commonly used in DSSCs, its high cost and toxicity limit practical applications. Recent research aims to develop low-cost counter electrodes with high efficiency. Nickel oxide (NiO), a p-type semiconductor with a wide bandgap, good transmittance, and suitable work function, emerges as a potential alternative for counter electrode of DSSCs. In this work, DSSCs with NiO of thicknesses varying from 100 nm to 1000 nm were simulated to determine its influence on photovoltaic performance using OghmaNano software. The structure of simulated solar cells consists of NiO as counter electrode, zinc oxide (ZnO) as photoanode, N719 as dyes, electrolyte as charge carrier transport, and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) as a contact layer. There are five data of NiO used as an active layer. From the simulation results, NiO-doped gold exhibits the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.95% at a thickness of 700 nm, while pure NiO shows the lowest PCE with 4.53% at a thickness of 600 nm. These results have demonstrated that NiO can replace Pt as a counter electrode for DSSCs and doping plays a vital role in increasing efficiency.]]>

<![CDATA[Partial shading negatively impacts power output in photovoltaic systems (PVs), causing multiple local maximum power points (LMPP) instead of a single global maximum power point (GMPP). The cuckoo search (CS) technique utilizes the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to extract the global maximum power (GMP) from shaded PVs. CS is a metaheuristic technique that has gained widespread recognition. Moreover, the CS algorithm is associated with several challenges, including a failure rate, long response time, and noticeable oscillations during steady-state operation. To address these limitations, our proposed advanced cuckoo search (ACS) algorithm is designed to overcome the shortcomings of the standard CS algorithm. The algorithm iteratively evaluates individual solar panels and collectively explores the solution space using levy flight operations. Persistent variables are used to store and track the current state and previous iterations. Where the duty cycles of the solar panels are optimally set to enhance the overall power generation efficiency. We also evaluate and analyze the results obtained from the performance of our proposed technique and compare them to the performance of the four most recent CS optimization techniques. for all test cases, the tracking efficiency was improved to 99.98% with a fast-settling time of <44 ms.]]>

<![CDATA[The contemporary and utilitarianism of the existing consumer world is advancing towards the better world technical benefits in the electrical world such as wired phase to wireless phase utilizing its volatile features. This paper addresses the battery performance in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV) through inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) systems. To analyze this workable mode, the researcher has proposed the series-series (S-S) compensation topology which is load independent current output. While charging the battery through wireless, the coil resistance is found to be affected by the battery's current and power. To figure out a practical solution, the researcher has introduced novel closed loop bi-directional switches with duty cycle control. The existing theoretical and simulated results have been analyzed with 1.5 kW, 120 mm air-gap and 85 kHz frequency. In this connection, the researcher has self-developed a prototype to better understand the theoretical perceptions of the proposed WPT system.]]>

<![CDATA[The penetration of grid integrated distributed generation (DG) in the present decade, has benefited rural communities, the environment, and the power sector. These renewable power sources based DGs could eliminate the need of extensive transmission networks, especially in remote areas, reduce emissions and improve power supply reliability. A significant drawback of grid integrated DG systems is the islanding of DG units, which puts workers' safety at risk and raises the possibility of damaging electrical infrastructure. Therefore, islanding detection techniques are used to reduce the danger associated with islanded functioning of DG units. Fast detection, small non detection area and less power quality disturbance are the major requirements of any islanding detection method. To address this issue of islanding, researchers have proposed various islanding detection strategies. This paper compares various q-axis controller-based islanding identification approaches: sub-harmonic perturbation (SHP), complementary reactive power perturbation (CRPP), and even harmonic perturbation (EHP). In all three proposed methodologies, the perturbations introduced result in frequency deviations surpassing the predefined threshold values. But the time of islanding detection is least in the CRPP approach. CRPP can also drift the total harmonic distortion (THD) beyond the corresponding threshold in an appreciable way. The performance of these (Islanding detection methods) IDMs is evaluated through simulations using MATLAB-Simulink on a PV fed DG. The efficacy of the comparative analysis is ensured with necessary waveforms.]]>

<![CDATA[A three-phase four-leg bidirectional power converter used as an input stage of an energy storage system using the inductance (L), capacitance (C), and inductance (L) or LCL filter on the grid side is considered. The article provides a variant of the three-phase four-leg bidirectional converter control system implementation based on 3D space vector pulse-width modulation and per-phase voltage control. A brief analysis of the applied control algorithms of the three-phase four-leg bidirectional converter in inverter and rectifier modes is given. A computer model has been built to investigate the operating modes of the converters of the designated class with both balanced and unbalanced load. Studies were carried out by computer modeling methods in order to optimize the parameters of the LCL filter on the grid side with bidirectional energy exchange. Optimal LCL filter parameters and modulation frequencies are determined for the developed converter, providing acceptable quality indicators when operating in bidirectional mode.]]>

<![CDATA[Due to its capacity to supply more voltage levels than conventional 2-level inverters, multilevel inverters have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Multilevel inverters may produce output waveforms that nearly approximate sinusoidal waveforms because to this characteristic, which also significantly lowers harmonic distortion. In many different power conversion systems, the introduction of reduced switch symmetrical multilevel inverter topologies has drawn significant interest. Numerous benefits, such as higher output voltage quality, reduced harmonic distortions, and increased power conversion efficiency, are provided by these novel topologies. The inclusion of these inverters in the feeding of induction motors is one of their many prominent uses. In this paper, a generalized topology is presented that generates nine levels using nine switching devices. To reduce complexity, switching pulses are generated using a low frequency pulse width modulation technique. MATLAB/Simulink is used to analyze the performance assessment of a unique three-phase symmetric cascaded multilevel inverter-based reduced switch symmetrical inverter fed induction motor drive, brushless DC (BLDC) motor and grid has been verified. According to the findings the total harmonic distortion (THD) is found to be 15% for a three-phase system and as the number of levels increases to 17 level the THD is 7.10%.]]>

<![CDATA[Coordination of protective relays is a critical aspect of electrical distribution systems, ensuring effective and reliable protection against faults. In modern power systems, the integration of distributed generation (DG) sources adds complexity to the coordination task. The dynamic nature of DG systems requires adaptive relay settings that can swiftly detect and isolate faults while minimizing potential damage and downtime. The purpose of this research is to improve the coordination of directional over current relays in electrical distribution systems, particularly in DG systems. An optimization technique combining the grey wolf optimization (GWO) and cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) is developed to identify the best relay settings that reduce overall operation time while ensuring excellent fault identification and isolation. To address relay faults caused by DG integration, a suitable primary and backup relay design is chosen, and the influence of time multiplier settings (TMS) on system performance and reliability is investigated. The proposed GWO-CSA technique is evaluated and implemented on IEEE 3, 8 and 15-bus systems using MATLAB. Simulation results show that the GWO-CSA strategy outperforms well compared to previous algorithms, enabling optimal coordination and increased protection in DG systems while drastically lowering relay operating time.]]>

<![CDATA[The agro-industry is the backbone of the global economy, even in the twenty-first century. The agro-industry would not be what it is now without irrigation. The production and use of renewable energy in this sector of the agricultural economy have also expanded rapidly in recent years. Base-load power production and conversions dominate the literature. This research examines user concerns. The swarm nano grid system fixes this. The pulse width modulation (PWM) sinusoidal inverter converted stable DC power from the bidirectional DC-DC converter into sinusoidal AC voltage for the irrigation pump induction motor. Solar panels, batteries, and converters are costly, but they pay off. The nano grid distributes excess power generated during low demand to local loads. This technique works well when the load can be disconnected from the power grid. MATLAB is used to keep an eye on the reliability and efficiency of the induction motor. In the first simulation, solar power generation is modeled using the MATLAB Simulink software in two distinct modes. A PWM sinusoidal inverter that is driven by solar energy is what provides power to the 5.67 kW induction submersible motor. The simulation result provides a conceptual model of how induction motors powered by renewable energy sources function in practice.]]>
