<![CDATA[Multilevel inverters (MLIs) offer numerous advantages, such as low voltage stresses on power switches, low switching losses, and high efficiency. Switching angles applied to MLI must be selected carefully to generate an output voltage waveform with low total harmonic distortion (THD). This paper proposes an improved algorithm to determine the switching angles with low THD for MLI. The proposed algorithm has been implemented using a MATLAB script to compute a set of switching angles with low THD from 3- to 31-level cascaded H-bridge MLI (CHBMLI). A PSIM simulation model has been developed to validate the switching angles and the corresponding THDs obtained from the MATLAB script. An experimental prototype has also been developed to validate the simulation results. The results obtained from the MATLAB script, the PSIM simulation, and the experimental measurement are in good agreement.]]>

<![CDATA[The inherent non-linearity of the system being investigated highlights the limitations of traditional proportional integral or PI tuning approaches. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to construct and refine the PI controller by leveraging the salp swarm algorithm, aiming to enhance the performance of the DC drive output. Through the application of the salp swarm algorithm, the fuzzy PI controller undergoes dynamic online modifications, leading to optimal results. The controller's superior performance is achieved by employing an optimization approach to identify the optimal set of solutions for the Fuzzy PI parameters. Rigorous simulations are conducted to comprehensively evaluate the proposed salp swarm algorithm technique, assessing its viability and efficacy in real-world. Thorough simulations assess the viability of the salp swarm algorithm, evaluating its effectiveness in real-world applications. The study demonstrates the methodology's reliability through comparative analyses of DC/DC converters against alternative methods. In non-linear systems like the DC drive, innovative optimization strategies are shown to significantly boost PI controller performance. The findings offer valuable insights for advanced control system design.]]>

<![CDATA[With the increase in carbon emissions, noise pollution and other environmental impacts caused by conventional vehicles, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is continuously increasing in the market. The transport sector has also been revolutionized with the use of EVs. The unique features such as reduction in noise pollution, carbon emissions and running costs and the capability of EVs to work in both grid-vehicle (G2V) and vehicle-grid (V2G) have made EVs popular nowadays. Still, it has several effects on the power distribution grid. There are several power issues due to the incorporation of electric vehicles (EVs) in the distribution network such as voltage instability, harmonics, and voltage fluctuations. This research paper focuses mainly on the harmonics caused in the system when EVs are connected to the distribution side. A distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) based on the d-q theory is introduced to mitigate the harmonics along with the improvement in the voltage profile of the distribution side. By using MATLAB Simulink, the performance of DSTATCOM is validated and the comparison of the proposed approach is also done with that of similar work already existing in the literature.]]>

<![CDATA[A resilient approach is presented in this study for detecting and classifying faults for power distribution systems integrating renewable energy sources (RES). Combining discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and convolutional neural network (CNN). The suggested framework addresses the challenges of RES intermittency and kinetic energy insufficiency. The recommended methodology is evaluated in a MATLAB platform, featuring a power distribution system with photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy conversion system (WECS), stabilized by a boost converter and cascaded fuzzy logic controller (CFLC) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for PV and a PI controller for WECS. Comparative analyses demonstrate the superior performance of the CNN classifier with an accuracy of 96.33%, outshining existing classifiers, including ANN. Furthermore, under various fault conditions, the CNN consistently achieves high accuracy, with 98% for Islanding, 95% for line-to-ground fault, and 96% for line-to-line fault. The proposed approach exhibits excellent computational efficiency, with a training time of 10.5 hours, inference speed of 5 milliseconds, and resource utilization of 85%, emphasizing its suitability for instantaneous fault identification in power systems.]]>

<![CDATA[The three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverters are widely used in practice. One of nowadays research trends of multilevel inverter topologies has been reduction of switch number. For this aim, this paper presents an asymmetric three level NPC inverter and study on output performance of phase disposition (PD) carrier pulse width modulation (CBPWM) for different offset voltage functions. A MATLAB/Simulink model of three-level asymmetric NPC inverter is developed to examine the impact of varying the offset voltage on the CBPWM output performances. Total harmonics distortions factors (THD) of voltages and currents are investigated for the whole modulation indices range. The obtained results show that harmonics voltage contents would be advantageous to set in discontinuous pulse width modulation (PWM) methods, particularly at lower voltage range. For asymmetrical topology, simulation results show that switching frequency optimal (SFO)-PWM method has not good performance at low modulation indices and its harmonics content presents an improved at high modulation indices range. Finally, a comparison of the output voltage and current quality via THD index is made between the asymmetric three-level NPC circuit and the conventional three-level NPC circuit are also provided to evaluate the feasibility of the asymmetric three-level NPC inverter in applications.]]>

<![CDATA[The study investigates a micro grid incorporating photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell and battery systems with an optimized proportional integral (PI) controller. A PV system serves as the primary green energy source, while a fuel cell acts as a supplementary source to compensate for power fluctuations. A single ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) integrated Cuk converter boosts PV system's DC output voltage, controlled by a crow search-optimized PI (CS-PI) controller. A PI controller controls the fuel cell's minimum DC output voltage, which is raised by a boost converter to produce a controlled output. The proposed converter demonstrates robust performance across varying operational conditions with a reduced settling time of 0.9 s and an efficiency of 96.2%. A bidirectional converter links the battery to the grid, facilitating energy transfer in both directions and accommodating boost and buck operating characteristics thereby maintaining a state-of-charge (SOC) of 60%. This study employs MATLAB to establish effective PV-fuel storage control approaches, optimize energy extraction, and ensure steady power for a grid-connected system.]]>

<![CDATA[Conventional direct torque control (DTC) can be served to drive a dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP-PMSM) by controlling the torque and speed. It relies on the direct application of controlled sequences through the use of a combination of dual hysteresis controllers with a transitioning table. In the course of conventional DTC implementation, there's generation of high armature current with lower-level harmonics, leading to increased losses that affect the machine's effectiveness. To enable a diminishment in these harmonics and consequently enhance the motor's efficiency, an approach to modify the conventional DTC is proposed. Specifically, this strategy involves adapting a new distribution of sectors and substituting the elements of the obtained switching table with synthetic elements. Simulated data validate the effectiveness of the chosen methodology.]]>

<![CDATA[Since the range of an electric vehicle (EV) is important, vehicles with the longest range are preferred. As a result, a survey is conducted on the longest-range vehicles commercially available to estimate the charging power required. EV range has recently increased significantly and can now be charged at home, adding to the benefits of EV. The paper will present the best three EV models with the longest range. So, the specifications of the most popular EV commercially available had been analyzed. Nonetheless, charging stations are still required, which is a critical issue. This paper discusses various approaches to EV charging stations that rely primarily on AC or DC power supply. The previous year’s accomplishments will be highlighted. The three EV charging station levels will be thoroughly addressed. It is primarily classified based on voltage, power and types. In this type of charging EV must equipped with rectifier to change AC-DC to charge batteries. The impact of rapid advancements in power electronics technology has been discussed as AC-DC converter, as its advancement will determine the future of EV charging stations. Renewable energy sources (hydropower, photovoltaic, and wind) are now essential as energy source. Recommendations for increasing EV sales will be made.]]>

<![CDATA[Photovoltaic (PV) systems encounters different problems of weather conditions that lowers their generated power. For this reason, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) have been designed to track the maximum power at all times and thus minimize these losses. However, under complexes partial shading condition (PSC) these losses are even higher. Classical MPPT algorithms fails to track the global MPP (GMPP) which further augment the power losses. Alternately, a grid connected topology of the PV system is chosen but needs a control method to phase the inverter current with the grid. This paper introduces a novel algorithm named power search algorithm (PSA) that memorizes the highest peak as it scans the PV curve then returns and locks it. Due to its simplicity, this proposed method is suitable for practical use and manages to track the GMPP with high efficiency of 99.5% and a mean response time of 0.04 s. Comparison was made with a gray wolf optimization (GWO) technique. Simulation was done in MATLAB/Simulink. Results shows that the proposed algorithm performed better than the GWO in all aspect of efficiency, tracking time and oscillations around GMPP. Also, a backstepping control was used to inject a good synchronized power to the grid.]]>
