This paper modeled and analyzed the reliability performance of the 132/33 kV substation in Abuja, Nigeria through the historical data collected from the APO substation using MATLAB 2021b. The probability distribution model was applied to determine the daily feeder’s outage using Reliability, availability, mean time to repair (MTR), Failure rate, distribution indices, and mean time between failures (MTBF). Due to the application of smart energy meters, the use of prepaid energy meters has helped to regulate energy demand, reduce network overloading especially during peak hours, and minimize the cost of energy consumed. There are more forced failures in the distribution system due to the switchgear and Transformer failures. There are more forced failures in the distribution system since 2013, which caused a reduction in the number of interruptions even with an increase in several customers linked to the transmission network. The result shows that the system was most available in the year 2015 with an average service availability index (ASAI) value of 98.9971%. The system was least available in year 2011 with an ASAI value of 98.6558%. The paper recommended that there should be interconnections between different feeders through proper configuration of switches or reclosers, to reduce failure occurrence in the network.

This research proposes the design and application of a smart controller for a dual-fold Luo converter tailored specifically for E-vehicle applications. The dual-fold Luo converter, known for its ability to efficiently step up and step down voltage levels with reduced components, is augmented with a smart control strategy to enhance its performance in the context of electric vehicles. The smart controller utilizes advanced techniques, such as artificial neural networks or fuzzy logic, to adaptively regulate the converter's operation, thereby improving efficiency, transient response, and overall reliability. By leveraging real-time data from the E-vehicle system, the controller dynamically adjusts key parameters to optimize performance under varying load and operating conditions. Key design considerations include the selection and training of the smart controller to achieve desired voltage regulation, efficiency, and robustness in the face of uncertainties inherent in E-vehicle operation. The proposed design methodology is validated through simulation studies, demonstrating superior performance compared to conventional control techniques. The results illustrate the efficacy of the smart controller in enhancing the dynamic response of the dual-fold Luo converter, making it a promising solution for E-vehicle power management systems. This research contributes to the advancement of power electronics in electric transportation, facilitating the development of more efficient and reliable E-vehicle systems in the pursuit of sustainable mobility.

The world's population's energy needs are growing daily, while at the same time, fossil fuels are being reduced at an alarming rate. Fossil fuel burning also increases pollution and causes global warming. Renewable energies are now being extensively used to generate electricity, so the dependence on fossil fuels is considerably reduced. Among the primary sources of alternative energy used to create power is photovoltaic (PV) technology. A grid connected PV system is the most widely recommended. When PV is linked to the grid, two main issues are the maximum power that can be taken out of it and the quality of the electricity placed into it. With the help of neural networks, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology has been developed to increase the PV array's power harvesting. An active power filter (APF) had been created and analyzed using Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory, including the Chebyshev II low-pass filter. As required by IEEE 519, the total harmonic distortion (THD) with injected source current has been confirmed well within 5%. These results demonstrate that this method is a simple and efficient way to inject harmonic-free currents into the grid.

In the realm of solar energy systems, the reliability and performance of photovoltaic (PV) inverters play a critical role in ensuring efficient energy conversion and long-term operation. This study delves into a comprehensive reliability-oriented performance assessment of PV inverters, with a particular focus on the comparative analysis between bifacial and monofacial panels. Reliability evaluation is carried out by considering a yearly mission profile with a one-minute sample at Hyderabad, India. A test case of a 3-kW PV system for grid-connected applications is considered. By integrating reliability metrics with performance indicators, we aim to provide a holistic evaluation of PV inverters operating under varying conditions inherent to both panel types. The research methodology involves detailed simulations and field data analysis to capture the nuances of inverter performance influenced by the unique characteristics of bifacial panels, such as their ability to capture light from both sides, compared to the traditional monofacial panels. In this paper, performance parameters such as junction temperature, MCS, and B10 lifetime (system level (SL) and component level (CL)) are evaluated. Key findings highlight the impact of these differences on inverter reliability. The Bi-PV panel exhibits a decreasing trend. In India, CL reliability (B10) is decreased from 34 years to 1.5 years, and SL reliability (B10) is decreased from 24 years to 1 year. In comparison with monofacial panels, the thermal stress on the PV inverter due to the bifacial panel is increased, and reliability is decreased.

The growing demand for enhanced power quality and reliable transmission has driven advancements in power flow control technologies. The distributed power flow controller (DPFC) represents an advancement over the unified power flow controller (UPFC). In contrast to the UPFC, the DPFC removes the DC link connecting the shunt and series converters, and redistributes the series converters along the transmission line as single-phase static series compensators. This modification enhances grid performance while maintaining full power flow control capabilities. The DPFC offers several advantages over the UPFC, including higher reliability, improved controllability, and greater cost-effectiveness. The system comprises a shunt converter in conjunction with multiple series converters, each with its own control circuit, all managed by a central control unit. This article presents the implementation of a DPFC model in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation outcomes indicate that the DPFC significantly contributes to improved voltage stability and enhanced power transfer capability, thereby reinforcing system performance and reliability.

For photovoltaic (PV) systems to be as effective and dependable as they possibly can be, it is vital to make an accurate prediction of the amount of power that will be generated by the sun. Using machine learning, it is now much simpler to forecast the amount of solar energy that will be generated. These approaches are more accurate and are able to adapt to the ever changing conditions of the nature of the environment. We take a look at the most recent machine learning algorithms for predicting solar energy and examine their methodology, as well as their strengths and drawbacks, in this paper. Using performance metrics like root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean squared error (MSE) makes it possible to evaluate important algorithms like support vector machines, decision trees, and linear regression. The results show that machine learning could help make predictions more accurate, lower the amount of uncertainty in operations, and help people make decisions in real time for PV systems. The study also points out important areas where research is lacking and suggests ways to move forward with the use of machine learning in systems that produce renewable energy.

Electric vehicle adoption is a trend in many countries, and the demand for charging station infrastructure is at a rapid pace. The placement of charging stations is the key research topic of many researchers, but charging scheduling is also a problem that is going to rise in the near future. The proper charger utilization, maintaining coordination between charging stations, and satisfying users' demands are some of the key challenges. The traffic pattern is uncertain, coordination of distances between charging stations and users is done by Euclidean distance. The traffic-aware fair charging scheduling (TAFCS) strategy is proposed, which will have a balance on charger utilization and user prioritization, and keep the fairness by equal distribution of electric vehicles among all the charging stations having a centralized charging system monitored by an aggregator. The distribution of the traffic pattern of electric vehicles is performed by Monte Carlo simulation. The proposed system is tested on the IEEE 33 bus standard system using the predefined voltage limits of each bus and limiting power loss to lessen its burden. The discharging process of 50 electric vehicles (V2G) is performed by optimal placement by obtaining the weakest buses, which makes it an intelligent distribution system. This proposed charging framework is validated on MATLAB R2020a.
