<![CDATA[The energy crisis in Nigeria has continued to impede the rapid expansion of the telecommunication industry, whose operating expenditure is galloping due to over-dependence on diesel generators as an alternative source of power to its base transceiver station (BTS). This fossil-fuel power source has also increased the industry’s carbon footprint. As a solution to these problems, the objective of this work is to provide a sustainable and quality hybrid DC power supply system for BTS that would increase access to information and communication technology or ICT infrastructure. This involves the integration of solar & wind energy with the grid. The sizing of the hybrid sub-systems was designed & simulated using MATLAB Simulink to test for functionality. A prototype of the design system was then implemented with the results showing an average power output that guarantees 21 hours/day of supply. By installing this hybrid system of 1.3 kW, approximately 2.55 kg of diesel (C10H20) would be un-utilized by one BTS, thereby preventing 3.6 kg of CO2 from been emitted to the atmosphere daily. Extrapolating these values shows 930.75 kg of diesel can be saved and reduce 1314 kg of CO2 emission within a year. Hence eliminating the need for diesel-backup generator for a grid connected or non-grid BTS sited in rural areas.]]>

<![CDATA[A dry-lab test rig is a powerful means to reduce costs in the design process of a wave energy conversion system (WECs). A dry-lab test rig technique allows the use of real components inside a simulation of a mathematical model. This paper presents the development of an innovative dry-lab test rig for the mechanicalhydraulic power take-off (MHPTO) unit of WECs. The development of a drylab test rig of MHPTO involves several processes, such as three-dimension (3D) modelling, component purchasing, structure fabrication, component installation, and operational testing. The developed dry-lab test rig consists of two main parts, such as the simulated wave emulator plant and the real MHPTO unit plant. The simulated wave emulator plant was developed in this test rig to replicate the interaction motion between the ocean wave motion and the wave absorber device. The developed dry-lab test rig was tested using five different irregular wave input conditions to ensure it could perform under the five different wave input conditions. The overall results demonstrate that the developed dry-lab test rig was successfully performed in all sea states. From the results, the profile of electrical power produced by the real MHPTO unit can be clearly obtained in each sea state.]]>

<![CDATA[Electricity consumption is rising across all industries. Residential electricity use dominates the sector. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on residential roofs are increasing quickly, notably in Dhaka, Bangladesh. PV power generation is high at peak sun irradiance. Due to light loads, residential structures use less electricity. PV system surplus electricity may be transmitted to the national grid. Residential customers may sell power to the government, lowering their electricity expense. Traditional energy meters make it difficult to calculate PV system consumption by load and grid injection. This is possible with net metering. Thus, this study presents an internet of things (IoT)-based smart net energy meter for home users to provide surplus solar PV power and consume grid electricity when needed. With the government's new power tariff rate, the net bill will be calculated automatically. A dedicated mobile application is used to monitor all the activities. The billing statement will be generated automatically, and the payment of that bill will be payable using a redirect link with the same mobile application. The suggested smart net energy meter will inform SMS/mobile app users of gas, smoke, and tempering. The suggested meter's performance and efficacy were evaluated using software simulation and hardware analysis.]]>

<![CDATA[This work concerns an investigation on the analysis of the magnetic saturation effects in the three-phase squirrel cage induction generator which is considered as a main device in wind energy conversion systems. The magnetic saturation is considered as an important factor causing destructive effects on power qualities such as harmonics and distortion. Several approaches have been presented in the literature for the modeling of the electric machines considering magnetic saturation. The widely used and precise approach is the finite elements method which is particularly characterized by its high computational time. The novelty in this paper is that a state model has been developed for the healthy conditions of the three-phase squirrel cage induction generators considering the experimental variation of the magnetizing inductance in terms of the magnetizing current. Simulation and experimental tests are provided to extract some important signatures on stator voltages and currents. It will be deduced that the spectrum analysis of stator currents contains useful information on magnetic saturation. Experimental and theoretical results illustrate the consistency of this approach for the modeling and analysis of the squirrel cage induction generators considering the magnetic saturation.]]>

<![CDATA[Recently, the advancement of multilevel inverters (MLI) has been a crucial factor in high power and medium voltage applications. This MLI has multiple topologies and has been used in a variety of applications. Cascaded MLI is preferred over other forms of multilevel inverter topologies. Nonetheless, significant obstacles are encountered when implementing these topologies. They necessitate an increased number of switches, DC sources, capacitors, and diodes. Increased losses and total harmonic distortion (THD) will be present in the system. In addition, the MLI is more expensive. The better construction of a multilevel inverter results in more output levels with fewer switches, sources, and driver circuits, as well as low THD. A new single-phase cascaded asymmetrical DC voltage sources based multilevel inverter design and the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) approach are used to attain these goals. After confirming in MATLAB/Simulink, the hardware implementation of the multilevel inverter in 21 levels was completed in this article.]]>

<![CDATA[Information technology servers are complex, delicate, and expensive systems; power grid interruption is one of the possible causes that can lead to hardware damage or logical disk structure damage, with severe consequences. Moreover, a power grid drop causes a sudden interruption of the services managed by a server. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) provide backup power when the regular power grid source drops. UPSs can only maintain a server for a short time. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a blackout manager who can correctly shut down the server activities. Moreover, the manager must be able to restore the servers' status when the electrical grid power returns to its normal state. This paper proposes a possible UPS power manager able to manage servers during a prolonged electrical blackout. The UPS power manager identifies the blackout and keeps the servers safe by saving their state and shutting them down properly. Following the power grid restoration, the UPS power manager restarts the servers and restores their state. The proposed approach has been evaluated on a virtualization cluster used for critical activities at the Politecnico di Torino.]]>

<![CDATA[This article suggests installing a series compensator on grid-connected induction motors that allows for the ride-through of unbalanced voltage sag. Fuzzy logic controls the motor voltages in a standard three-phase voltage source inverter or voltage source inverter (VSI). An open-ended three-phase machine and the grid form a series connection for the VSI. The proposed system is well suited for uses where frequency variation is unnecessary, such as with large pumps or fans. There is no requirement for a direct current (DC) source or injection transformer when conducting an electric mutual coupling The severity of the sag in the grid voltage that will prevent EMC from shutting down is proportional to the load on the motors. An increase in the voltage of the DC link may be necessary if the voltage is not balanced. A 1.5 hp four-pole induction motor was used alongside grid voltage disturbances to test the proposed compensator's ride-through capability. Grid's current analysis demonstrates that the proposed system does not require the addition of a passive filter to achieve low levels of total harmonic distortion (THD). Additionally, the control strategy, component ratings, and analysis of the converter's output voltage operating principle and pulse width modulation technique are covered. The system's viability is shown via simulation and experimental results.]]>

<![CDATA[Fuel prices are rising, and fossil fuel resources are depleting. This fuel is consumed by conventional fuel vehicles, which contributes to increased greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Various vehicle technologies have been introduced in modern times. Among these innovations, fuel cell vehicle technology stands out due to its ease of use, robustness, and simplicity. The primary energy source for this system is hydrogen. Fuel cells use hydrogen to generate electricity through a chemical process that does not involve combustion. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and development of a simulation model for a fuel cell (proton exchange membrane type) vehicle using mathematical equations and the MATLAB/Simulink R2020a software, taking into account all voltage losses and temperature variations of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) type fuel cell. The designed model is validated in two ways: first by generating V-I characteristics for the designed PEM-type fuel cell, and then by performing a performance test in Simulink using the driving cycle on one of the fuel cell vehicles. The obtained simulated results are nearly identical to the expected results, and the designed PEM-type fuel cell performed well in all real-time driving cycle test conditions.]]>

<![CDATA[Due to the increased demand for electrical energy, many countries were prompted nowadays to search for new sources. One important source is the photovoltaic energy. However, despite the great benefits of this source, some defects where observed when linking to distribution networks (negative impact on the protection system). Hence, an approach of improving the protection system in distribution networks integrated with photovoltaic cells is presented in this paper. The protection system improvement is proposed by changing the impedance to resistance ratio (X/R) values of the networks cables, which leads to increasing the overcurrent relays' response speed when a fault occurs. A comparative analysis with different cable reactance values was conducted. The electrical transient analyzer program (ETAP) software was used to investigate and validate the effects on the relay’s response times. Amriya Fallujah power station, located in Iraq, was investigated as a case study. Simulation results show that it is possible to increase the response speed of the overcurrent relay by reducing X/R of the network cables. For more validation, the distance relay was used to compare the best improvement results of changing the X/R ratio with the results of changing the type of relay, which also shows the strength of the proposed method.]]>

<![CDATA[Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) current mode logic (MCML) is generally preferred for high-speed circuit design. In this paper, a novel low voltage folded (LVF) MCML D-Latch is designed. The existing topologies of the MCML D-Latch consume more power and operate at 1 V. The proposed D-Latch can operate at 0.6V with better delay and power management. MCML circuits minimize delay and perform fast operations, hence it can be used in high-frequency applications. The proposed LVF MCML D–Latch is analyzed with the parameters such as power, delay, power delay product and output noise using cadence virtuoso in 45 nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology at a voltage of 0.6 V and a temperature of 27 °C. The proposed technique achieves 62.11% of power reduction, transient response speed improved by 51.23% and noise cancellation becomes 26.13% improvement over the existing circuit. It also achieves 96% of output swing which is more efficient compared to others. Finally, the parametric analysis is performed with different temperatures to verify the stability of the proposed circuit. From the simulated results, it is clear that the proposed LVF MCML D-Latch provides better performance in high-speed phase locked loop (PLL) applications.]]>
