Abstract

The advantages of multilevel inverters (MLIs) have led to their increased use in high- and medium-voltage power applications. These inverters reduce harmonic content, common-mode voltage, dv/dt stress on switches, and electromagnetic interference, among other things. In recent decades, drives for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) that rely on inverters have become increasingly popular in both commercial and residential settings due to their great performance. Phase disposition (PD), phase opposition disposition (POD), and alternate phase opposition disposition (APOD) are three multi-carrier pulse width modulation (MCPWM) approaches that were simulated in this work to explore a 5-level DCMLI-fed PMSM. In order to create control pulses, each method compares reference signals with carrier signals that are either triangular or trapezoidal. Detailed comparisons with conventional three-level voltage source inverters (VSIs) are made based on the results. A 63.21 percent improvement in the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage and a 26.52% improvement in the THD of the stator current are both supported by experimental evidence.

Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays suffer significant power losses under partial shading conditions (PSC), which can degrade system performance. This paper proposes a novel weighted objective function that balances power output maximization with switching action minimization during dynamic PV array reconfiguration. An enhanced firebug swarm optimization (FSO) algorithm is employed to optimize this function efficiently. Simulation results under five shading patterns demonstrate approximately 6% improvement in power output over conventional methods, while also reducing the number of switch operations. The proposed approach enhances energy yield and extends device lifespan, offering a robust solution for real-time PV optimization under PSC.

Abstract

The need for efficient clean energy solutions has increased due to population growth, climate change, and the development of industries. Among these, the most valuable clean and sustainable alternative is solar energy, i.e., photovoltaic (PV) technology. However, the key challenge is represented by maximizing the PV systems' efficiency. This paper proposes an IoT-enabled single-axis solar tracking system for improving PV by constantly aligning solar panels with the trajectory of the sun. To achieve that, an Arduino microcontroller is integrated with light-dependent resistors (LDRs). LRDs perform real-time detection of solar irradiance in order to adjust along with the azimuth axis. Based on the experimental results, the IoT-enabled single-axis solar tracking system improves energy harvesting by comparing with fixed-tilt PV. The proposed system outperforms the fixed-tilt PV by 22.5% in daily energy yield and average power output. Furthermore, tracking efficiency is better than fixed-tilt PV by 96.3% and tracking error of 3.7%.

Abstract

This paper presents a model of a batteryless off-grid photovoltaic (PV) system with an adaptive multi-motor load. This model is developed as an effort to enhance the power output of batteryless off-grid PV systems for motor loads. Instead of using a single large-capacity motor, as commonly done in previous studies, the model distributes the load into several smaller motors and controls them adaptively. This approach allows for better control of the total load impedance to support maximum power point (MPP) tracking. A case study involving three three-phase induction motors, each with an operating power of 200 W, is conducted, where the power production of the proposed model is analysed by comparing it with the theoretical MPP and a fixed-load motor system that represents a single large motor. Under 1000 W/m² irradiance and using an 852 Wp PV array, the proposed model achieves a power output of 842 W, which corresponds to 98.83% of the MPP. In contrast, the system without this model only generates 298 W, or just 35.02% of the MPP. The testing process spans a 5-second period during the motor starting state. The power production analysis of the proposed model is presented in graphical form using MATLAB/Simulink.

Abstract

An enhancement-mode aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN)/gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT is presented in which graphene-capped SiN passivation, a recessed composite p-GaN gate, dual discrete field plates, and a compositionally graded AlGaN barrier (35%→18% Al) are co-engineered in a single device. The novelty lies in integrating these four techniques within one enhancement-mode architecture to simultaneously suppress surface trapping and reduce gate leakage, strengthen electrostatic gate control, and redistribute the electric field for higher breakdown and more uniform field profiles. TCAD results indicate a threshold voltage (Vth) of +2.6 V, transconductance (gm) of 335 mS/mm, and breakdown voltage (Vbr) around 1 kV. The radio-frequency (RF) analysis shows a cut-off frequency (fT) of ~42.57 GHz, with favorable gate capacitance characteristics. These outcomes show that co-optimization delivers normally-off operation with improved breakdown and RF speed relative to using the techniques separately, supporting suitability for high-power, high-frequency applications.
