Tracking the maximum power point plays an important role for the optimization of the solar energy. The objective here is to study experimentally optimizing photovoltaic (PV) systems connected to a DC-DC converter (Boost) and a resistive load. For this, tests were conducted to determine the law of open loop control (power versus the duty cycle) for different solar irradiance values and load with an approximately constant cell temperature. The obtained results showed that the power passes through a maximum point. In order to extract the maximum power, for different values of solar irradiance and load, an MPPT control "Perturb and Observe" P & O has been implemented on a DSPACE 1104. The experimental results showed the performance of the method suggested.

In this paper, fault ride through analysis of a low voltage distribution system augmented with distributed wind generation using squirrel cage induction generator and distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is carried out through modeling and simulation study in MATLAB. The impact of different types of unbalanced (single line to ground) fault in a low voltage distribution system in normal and severe conditions are studied and analysed in details. Analysis on system instability is also shown in case of sever fault condition. A distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) is used to improve fault ride through (FRT) capability of wind generation system by compensating positive sequence voltage. A comparison of dynamic response of the system with and without DSTATCOM and effects of DSTATCOM on voltage and generator speed are presented. The simulation results shows that DSTATCOM is capable of reducing the voltage dips and improving the voltage profiles by providing reactive power support to distributed wind generation system under balanced as well as unbalanced faults condition and enhances the fault ride through capability of the wind generator

Experiments confirmed that Transformerless Inverters (TIs) deliver more reliability and higher energy efficiency. Nonetheless, one of the shortcomings of TIs is the leakage current that occurs between the photovoltaic (PV) string terminals and the ground. Such a drawback is justified by the non-galvanic isolation caused by the transformer being omitted. As such, this study is intended to develop a novel TI inverter topology for solar PV systems. The latter is meant to remove the leakage current and enhance the operating system of the entire PV conversion as well. Added to its null zero-crossing distortion and capability regarding energy efficiency, the developed TI, being validated by simulation and experiment, eradicated the leakage current.

A modular abstraction is presented to implement model predictive control (MPC) on a three phase two level voltage source inverter to control its output current. Traditional ways of coded implementation do not provide insights into the complex nature of MPC; hence a more intuitive, logical and flexible approach for hardware implementation is conceptualized in the form of signal flow graphs (SFGs) for estimation, prediction and optimization. Simulation results show good performance of the approach and easier code generation for real time implementation. RL load is assumed for the inverter and the importance of choosing load inductance and sampling time ratio is emphasized for better control performance.

Growth in the need for electric energy and fossil fuel scarcity endorses renewable energy generation sources. The generation cost of electric power utilizing wind turbines is cost-effective and straightforward compared to other renewable energy sources (RES). Recently, hasty research and developments have been presented in wind turbines (WT) by researchers globally. Although wind-based energy production is more content, planting the WT is challenging. Maintaining the WT from fault incidence is highly crucial. The fault in the WT distresses the power quality of the produced energy. This condensed power quality affects the transmission systems, substations, and loading end of the renewable source. Also, gear malfunctioning is the primary reason for most of the downtime in wind turbines. This work successfully proposed and implemented a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing-based control technique to reduce the drive train vibration. Therefore, fault detection and monitoring in WTs play an active part in power production and quality maintenance. In this work, a vibration-grounded WT gearbox fault observing scheme is proposed to increase the power quality. Precisely, a wavelet is executed to chart the vibration gesture. Also, the current sensor gesture is implemented to discover the power quality variances associated with the WT's vibration magnitude.

This paper elucidates the realization of multicarrier pulse width modulation (MC-PWM) based 7-level Z-source cascaded H-bridge inverter. MC-PWM technique is developed to generate switching pulses for Z-source inverter; it leads to boost the inverter output voltage with help of shoot through mode of operation. The output of Z-source inverter is connected to 7-level cascaded H-bridge inverter. Cascaded H-bridge inverter system much suitable for AC load drive, high voltage and high power and industrial applications. This proposed system provides reduced total harmonic distortion, improved stepped output voltage and current, nearly sinusoidal output voltage and reduced voltage stress across the switching devices. The inductors and capacitors values are selected based on the boosting level of Z-source inverter. The simulation results of proposed 7-level Z-source cascaded H-bridge inverter with MC-PWM technique is verified using MATLAB/Simulink.

In this paper, 22 equations for high voltage cable sheaths are simulated in one model. The model outputs are represented by cable sheath voltages, circulating currents, losses and factors, eddy currents, losses, and factors in both tides laying states (trefoil and flat) when grounding the sheaths from a single point, two points, or cross-link. These values depend on the cable manufacturing's specific factors. The other factors affecting these values are specific to the laying and operation: the load current, the length of the cable to be laid out, the spacing between the cables, and the power frequency. This research aims to reduce or eliminate the losses of the cable sheath. These two types of currents cause losses that may sometimes equal the losses of the conductor of the cable carrying the load current. Which reduces the capacity of the cable and reduces the heat dissipation of the cable into the soil and damages it. Electricians are at risk of electrocution due to the high voltages of the sheaths when there is no current in the sheaths. Therefore, these currents and voltages must be eliminated by making a new model that studies the effect of all these factors on them.

Nowadays, the power of impact elements and the proximity and defense areas exist and are increasing exponentially. To аlleviаte these рrоblems, renew the energy sоurсes suсh аs рhоtоvоltаiсs, wind power, and other things that are made to be taken. This is considered to be a night and night use of static synchronous compensator (STATСОM) to meet the release of lоаd. Sоlаr fаrm photovoltaic (РV) рrоduсes energy during the night and not completely trapped at night. During dаy, the inverter is used for normal operation and at midnight, it is used to meet load demand more efficiently by controlling voltage, current, active, and reactive power. The proposed strategy is validated in the MATLAB/Simulink software and compared with the existing schemes such as cat swarm optimization-particle swarm optimization (CSO-PSO) and tree seed algorithm (TSA) with recurrent neural network (RNN).

Pollution from conventional transportation methods is a worrying factor. Electric vehicles are a viable option to reduce environmental pollution and to replace the conventional methods of using internal combustion (IC) engine based transportation system. renewable source driven electric vehicles (EV) opens up non-dependency on conventional energy sources. The renewable energy source (like photovoltaic system) insists on the switch mode converter to augment its voltage range. This paper presents a hybrid boost switch mode DC-DC converter to increase the voltage range of the photovoltaic (PV) system. The wheels of electric vehicle are coupled to switched reluctance motor (SRM). Closed-loop speed controlled SRM drives the wheels of EV. Asymmetrical converter feeds the excitation current to the coils of 6/4 pole current-controlled SRM. The proposed EV system is analyzed for fixed and variable torque with speed condition using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
