Efficient wind farm development necessitates careful planning of wind turbine placement. The primary aim of this optimization process is to strategically position turbines to minimize the wake effect. The ongoing study seeks to standardize wake losses across all turbines in the wind farm through the adoption of a novel diagonal layout. To achieve this objective, an objective function has been devised and employed by a genetic algorithm, aiming to maximize the energy production of the farm while avoiding the concentration of wake on specific turbines. This methodology was applied to the Gasiri wind farm using simulation. The results of the optimization show great promise, indicating a potential energy increase of 17% following the implementation of the optimized layout. Furthermore, the study highlights that the new turbine placements, characterized by higher nominal power, are more favorably aligned forward, in accordance with the wind direction, compared to their original positions. Additionally, a substantial reduction in the mechanical fatigue of the turbine blades was noted.

The typical scalar control method adjusts the speed based on changes in power frequency while maintaining a constant V/f ratio corresponding to the nominal flux. The disadvantage of the typical scalar method is that the motor operating speed is always less than the reference speed by a slip value. This research proposes an improved scalar control method based on slip compensation for speed control in the induction motor drive. A virtual speed according to the rotor flux-based model reference adaptive system (RF-MRAS) technique is applied to the current model to estimate the proper compensation of the rotor slip. The suitability of the control method is verified through comparative simulations between the typical and proposed methods under various operating conditions by the MATLAB/Simulink software.

This study describes the use of a passive filter to enhance power quality (PQ) of a multi-coil charger for (EVs) using a solar connected system. Wireless charging solutions have been developed as a result of the rising demand for EVs, which use multi-coil chargers to transfer power wirelessly. However, the high-frequency switching used in these chargers can cause power quality issues, such as harmonic distortion, which can affect the performance of the EV and the grid. To reduce PQ incidence effect during charging, a MATLAB model has been created here. The proposed system provides an innovative approach to addressing power quality challenges associated with electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The integration of a passive filter for multi coil wireless power transfer (MCWPT) can significantly improve power quality and promote the use of clean energy in the transportation sector. This study contributes to the development of sustainable solutions for addressing the challenges associated with electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Power quality is a critical aspect of the effective and dependable operation of electrical systems. In today's technologically advanced world, where industries rely significantly on electricity, understanding and maintaining power quality is critical. National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) has an important laboratory for aerodynamic testing technology service activities in Indonesia. This facility contains a closed wind tunnel, a DC drive system, and a DC electric motor. This innovative fan drive system employs a parallel DC drive system, with the master and slave motors connected to a master DC drive system and a slave DC drive system, respectively. The usage of a new system results in poor electrical power quality, with a power factor value of less than 0.85, resulting in higher electricity costs and increased current, which has an impact on other equipment, such as a rise in temperature. To improve the quality of electrical power according to standard operating procedures and lower electricity bills, the current work evaluated the new system using field tests and literature studies on the impact of installing capacitor banks in parallel DC motor systems to boost the power factor value. This evaluation aims to improve the quality of the ILST parallel electric power system by including a capacitor bank in each motor.

This study's main goal is to make a new simulation model of the power losses calculation block for frequency converter power switches that can correctly figure out the transistors and diodes' static and dynamic power losses in a 1.5 kW SIEMENS SINAMICS G110 semiconductor converter (SSG110SC). We use simulation modeling tools in the MATLAB/Simulink environment to look at the semiconductor circuits of a rectifier and an autonomous pulse-width modulation voltage inverter. The study presents analytical expressions describing static and dynamic power losses in power semiconductor diodes and transistors. We used polynomials to get close to the power characteristics of insulated-gate bipolar transistor or IGBTs and then used mathematical expressions to show how they depend on Erec (Ic), Vse (Ic), Vf (If), Eon (Ic), and Eoff (Ic). By utilizing the acquired expressions, a MATLAB/Simulink block was constructed to calculate static and dynamic power losses. as well as power loss dependences on switching frequency and load current, were computed utilizing the developable block system. By comparing the simulation outcomes of the present study to the data provided by the manufacturer, the results were validated. Specific diode and transistor characteristics can be accounted for by the method developed in the present study.

This paper discussed a few type linear motors for lift systems applications. First, a few types of lift systems are generally presented. Based on these types of lift systems, the common actuators used to operate the lifts are compared and analyzed. Basically, in traditional lift systems, rotational motors are commonly employed as actuators. However, to achieve simpler lift systems, linear motors are utilized instead of rotational motors in direct drive systems. There are three types of linear motors usually being adopted which are linear induction motors (LIM), permanent magnets linear synchronous motors (PMLSM) and switched-reluctance linear synchronous motors (SRLSM). LIM exhibits a simple structure but relatively have low performance, while the SRLSM demonstrates a similar simplicity yet delivering improved performance compared to the LIM. On the other hand, the PMLSM, despite its high-performance capabilities, suffers from notable cogging.

This study explores the impact of switching frequency variations on wireless power transfer (WPT) system efficiency through rigorous experimental analysis. Our tests reveal that lower switching frequencies can enhance system efficiency by up to 30% by reducing resistive losses. These findings establish an optimal frequency range that significantly improves performance. The research integrates empirical data with theoretical models to elucidate electromagnetic principles like the skin effect and its impact on frequency-dependent behaviors. This comprehensive approach not only confirms the experimental methodology but also provides robust numerical evidence, making a novel contribution to the field. The results have significant implications for renewable energy and sustainable technology development, suggesting practical applications in designing energy efficient WPT systems for consumer electronics and electric vehicle charging. This paper quantitatively defines the efficiency benefits of specific frequency ranges, advancing the deployment of wireless power technologies.

This study discusses the use of solar energy as a clean and widely available alternative. The performance of solar panels is influenced by various factors including solar radiation, module, temperature, and distribution of the sunlight spectrum. Temperature issues in solar panels can be addressed through passive cooling, such as installing a heatsink. A passive cooling system is implemented by installing a heatsink with four layers of fins on the body panel of the solar module. The advantage of passive cooling with constellations is that it does not require additional energy from outside, while a large number of fins can achieve the best passive cooling constellation. Each heatsink utilizes eight fins with a total of three heatsinks, manufactured from aluminum. Vector values of wind speed, humidity, and temperature are studied through direct measurements. A 100 W polycrystalline solar module at a standard temperature of 25 ℃ produces an open circuit voltage of 22 +V.

This paper presents a nonlinear control in the stationary αβ reference frame for single-stage three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The system under study consists of a photovoltaic generator (PVG), a three-phase inverter, and an LCL-filter on the grid side. The main control objectives are to extract the maximum power from the PVG and deliver that power into the grid with high-quality power i.e. unity power factor (UPF). In order to achieve these objectives, a nonlinear controller is designed by using backstepping technique. The performance of this controller is evaluated under standard and variable atmospheric conditions. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed controller has successfully met all the specified objectives. This study highlights the potential of using the nonlinear control based on backstepping technique in photovoltaic systems with LCL-filters. The modeling and simulation of the complete system are carried out using MATLAB/Simulink environment.
