<![CDATA[Nowadays, growing interest in sustainable energy solutions, hybrid AC/DC microgrids are becoming more and more recognized as a reliable and efficient option. In order to improve the stability of such microgrids advanced solutions for ESS placement are required due to the unpredictable nature of renewable energy sources and the complexity of load needs. The precision needed to maximize microgrid stability in the face of these obstacles is lacking. In this paper, an artificial neural networks (ANN)-based framework for the strategic allocation and sizing of ESS is proposed. This study uses ANN and the process is to determine the best locations and capacities for energy storage systems (ESS) to minimize system losses while accounting for variations in renewable generating and demand profiles. Simulation is carried on IEEE 12 bus system for studying the usefulness of the proposed method and stability is determined. The power flow datasets generated through simulation are utilized to train the ANN in order to determine the most appropriate placements for ESS. Furthermore, a series of simulations were performed to examine the impact of ESS characteristics on the performance of system loss under various circumstances.]]>

<![CDATA[Our research is introducing a lighting system using dimming lamps to utilize natural sunlight to save electrical energy in campus buildings. It began with designing an LED light-dimming system using AC chopper technology. It was tested in library rooms in campus buildings. Its room is divided into three zones (A, B, C) based on the intensity of natural light reaching the room and the location of the work points. We analyzed the influence of the environment around the research object, including the location of work points, weather conditions, the position of the sun, and electrical energy saving in lighting systems using dimming LED lights in campus buildings. The test results show that implementing the proposed dimming system can reduce room electricity consumption by an average of 50.31% in good weather conditions. The location of the work point in the room dramatically influences the amount of this savings. For work point locations in zone C, these savings can reach 93.707%, while for work points in zone A, the savings are only 12.177%. The results show that the percentage of electricity consumption savings from the lighting system can be increased by increasing the natural light that reaches the room.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents an analysis and explores the potential an infinite generation system to accommodate the domestic load growth of the 33 KV loop network from 2025 to 2040. The study involves assessing the current state of the network, focusing on voltage levels, loading lines, and transformers, to ensure they operate within the permissible loading limits of the system. It is assumed that the loop is supplied by an infinite source. A numerical model using the Gauss-Seidel method is implemented and executed on the PSS/E simulator. We will simulate the current network state and analyze the voltage profile, which should range between 0.95 and 1.05 pu. Next, we forecast the demand based on the industrial growth of the cities interconnected to this 33 kV loop. Analysis the simulation results will demonstrate the possibility of increasing the transit active power and controlling the reactive power in the system at 2040 year. Indeed, we propose solutions to address the identified critical issues to meet the projected demand. These solutions involve doubling the power capacity of the existing transformers. The proposed system will provide industrial consumers with reduced load imbalances and better control over voltage fluctuations caused by rapid variations in reactive power demand.]]>

<![CDATA[The control of electric motors presents a fascinating topic in the field of electrical engineering. Three-phase induction motors are extensively employed in industrial applications, because of their durability and cost-effectiveness. Hence, induction motor control research remains a major priority in electrical drive technology. Field-oriented control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC) are the most common control methods for industrial applications up to now. Recently developed microcontroller processing capabilities have enabled novel control technology like model predictive control (MPC). High-performance drive systems could benefit from this new control method. One of MPC approach, referred to as finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC), focuses on reducing a single cost function. This is achieved by adjusting a weighting factor to prioritize either torque or flux error reduction. However, the primary drawbacks of the standard FCS-MPC lie in determining these weighting factors and the variable switching frequency, which greatly varies based on the operational conditions. A control approach that eliminated the weighing factor was proposed. The proposed sequential model predictive control (SMPC) method is applied to a 3-phase induction motor operated by a 5-level CHB inverter. Simulation results matched theoretical analysis. Results demonstrated that stator flux and torque are independently controlled without weighting factor, and low harmonic distortion levels.]]>

<![CDATA[Active power filters are used to reduce current harmonics and compensate for reactive power in non-linear loads. This paper compares two approaches for estimating compensated current for a shunt active filter. The synchronous-reference- frame theory d-q and sliding fast Fourier-Transform algorithms are compared in this study. The comparison is based on the outcomes of simulations. For different load conditions, the results achieved by the approaches mentioned differ greatly. The sliding discrete Fourier transform SDFT approach has revealed the optimum choice. Indeed, sliding discrete Fourier transform-phase-locked-loop or SDFT-PLL is a perfect method also for synchronizing the inverter with a weak noisy grid.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper proposes a grid-connected hybrid renewable power system. A LUO converter driven by ABC-PI controller is used to produce stable DC-link voltage. To enhance the voltage, a LUO converter is used, and the boosted voltage is regulated by an ABC-PI controller. Using the suggested optimization approach, the power fluctuation is kept at a low value. The execution of the proposed optimization is efficient, as it is simple and robust. It has a limited number of control parameters as compared to other approaches. The suggested method is described in complete detail, together with its converter and control mechanisms. The modeling and experimental results are validated to ensure that the system is feasible. The HRES is analyzed through simulation in MATLAB with converters like boost, SEPIC, and LUO. The results reveal that the LUO converter performs better with a minimum settling time of 0.175 seconds with a source current THD of 1.29%. From the modeling and the simulation results, it has been revealed that the proposed technology provides more reliable and steady power.]]>

<![CDATA[The need for power factor correction (PFC) is inevitable due to the distortion of the supply current that results from the widely used switched mode power supplies (SMPSs). This paper first introduces the effects of SMPSs on the grid and the concept of PFC, followed by a review of the different ways to achieve this correction. Due to its numerous benefits, the totem-pole topology is chosen. A complete design of a totem-pole power factor correction (TPPFC) converter for universal use is demonstrated with the aid of the PSIM software and its SmartCtrl tool for a step-by-step design, achieving a simulated power factor (PF) as high as 0.99984 for normal full loading and a sinusoidal input current with a total harmonic distortion (THD) as low as 1.8038%. This work is the first complete, concise, and easy-to-follow PSIM simulation-based design guide for the TPPFC converter.]]>

<![CDATA[To operate a microgrid system in islanded mode, it is essential to analyze the economic feasibility and performance of the system. The proposed system integrates two or more renewable energy sources, providing a promising solution for meeting energy needs sustainably. Conducting a techno-economic analysis of such microgrid systems is critical to maximizing the efficient utilization of renewable energy sources. The simulations for these microgrid systems are performed using HOMER Pro software, where various economic parameters—such as cost of energy (COE), electricity production, net present cost (NPC), carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and payback period—are evaluated for the proposed systems. Additionally, the system's performance is analyzed using PSIM software, which incorporates optimal switching control. The results are further validated using a prototype hardware setup. The findings indicate that the PV/hydro system with NPC: 705,658 Rs and payback period: 9.65 years is the most suitable option for meeting the electricity demand in rural areas. Also, through optimal switching control applied to the micro grid converter the output voltage achieved is seven levels and harmonic distortion is 3.7% for voltage and 1.7% for the current.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines how methane flow rate during the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process affects the electronic properties of amorphous silicon-carbon (a-SiC) thin films. The films were deposited with varying methane flow rates, and their structural and electronic properties were analyzed using spectroscopic ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Results show that the methane flow rate influences the ratio of sp2 to sp3 carbon bonding, which impacts the material's electronic band structure. Higher methane flow rates increase sp2 carbon content, reducing the bandgap energy and enhancing electrical conductivity. In contrast, lower flow rates lead to higher sp3 bonding, wider band gaps, and decreased conductivity. This study highlights the potential for optimizing methane flow rates in PECVD to tailor the electronic properties of a-SiC films for specific applications. The findings offer valuable insights for designing and optimizing a-SiC materials for electronic devices. Future research will investigate how other deposition parameters and post-deposition treatments affect a-SiC's electronic properties, aiming to further improve material performance for advanced technological applications.]]>
