This paper represented a control strategy for photovoltaic (PV) system, this control strategy was referred to as a low voltage ride through (LVRT), it had been achieved by using three phase (3-PH) (PV) grid-connected system, where this paper discussed the way to achieve maximum output active power from the solar system, while the solar system remained connected to the grid with voltage decreasing controller techniques and this was valid until certain amount of voltage decreasing which was clarified in the results. The main goal of low voltage ride through depended on injecting reactive power to the grid, amount of the injected reactive power depended on regulations of the grid code using the control of the inverter and the strategy depended on the grid voltage drop amount. MATLAB simulation had been used to achieve what was mentioned above, which led to present various cases of achieving maximum output active power with grid voltage drops by using conventional proportional integral (PI) control of the inverter. Finally, another control method, which was proportional integral genetic algorithm (PI-GA), had been used to improve value of the generated output active power.

Brushless direct current motors (BLDC) are prominent due to their high efficiency and less maintenance. However, BLDC motor applications are limited due to the requirement of a complex controller, the existence of torque ripple, and high cost. This research work describes the comparative analysis of different control strategies of torque ripple reduction in BLDC motors and it discusses various topologies viz. cuk converter, simple voltage modulator scheme, charged capacitor, Z-source inverter, and Quasi- Z source inverter-based toque ripple reduction techniques. The effectiveness of different control strategies has been verified using MATLAB Simulink and it helps to understand different control strategies for torque ripple reduction during the entire speed range. The analysis of MATLAB results reveal that the voltage modulation scheme reduces the torque ripple considerably during the entire speed range along with the noise- less operation of the BLDC motor when compared with other topologies.

The high cost associated with operation has promoted the progress of wave energy conversion and has higher power output and larger size. However, many countries are bordered by the sea, and the possible area for using wave energy is very small which can generate peak power generation systems with a power output of less than 100 W. The purpose of this article is to introduce the refined parameters of new design of the permanent magnet shape of with tubular longitudinal direct-drive generator. Three designs proposed, which different shapes of permanent magnets with same topology. The parameter optimization process was analysed using finite element analysis to determine the best main parameters of the design, namely the length of the stator length to translation ratio (????????/????????), pitch ratio (????????????/????????.), and split ratio (????????/????????). To evaluate design performance, electrical losses from the proposed design were also evaluated. The optimization results show these designs generator can produce 100 W of peak level output power with higher efficiency at rated current and optimal load.

The usage of the motorcycle as a mode of transportation has led to increased energy consumption in the transportation sector and high emissions of greenhouse gases. Thus, the rapid development of electric motorcycles through the advancement of technology provides the possibility to address the issues of high energy consumption and the emission of pollutants. Despite its convenience in accommodating mobility in an urban area, statistical data show that road accidents involving the motorcyclist in Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries are very high. The contributing factor to the worrying situation is the failure in controlling the motorcycle speed. One of the solutions is by adjusting the motorcycle speed according to different road conditions. However, a shortcoming is identified based on the numerous studies conducted relating to the electric motorcycle where the studies exclude an analysis of electric motorcycle speed when travelling on different road conditions. Therefore, the slip ratio on the front and the rear wheel has been studied to analyze the suitable electric motorcycle speed when driven on different road conditions. An emphasis is made on two road conditions: dry and wet, and the simulation reveals the suitable speed range for the motorcycle under both road conditions.

Induction motors are widely used in industrial applications as actuators, thanks to their simplicity of construction, which is subsequently reflected in low-cost maintenance. This paper shows the behavior of a three-phase power converter with a linear induction motor (LIM) as load, using a quasi-sliding control technique for output voltage regulation and a new control technique to control chaos. Digital pulse width modulation (DPWM) techniques are widely used to control electronic power converters. The controller proposed in this paper was designed using zero average dynamic (ZAD) and fixed point inducting control (FPIC) techniques. The ZAD-FPIC control strategy was designed and applied to a three-phase converter with linear induction motor load. Since it is not possible to measure the secondary currents, a secondary current observer was included in the system. Finally, bifurcation diagrams are shown as a technique for tuning controller parameters in ZAD-FPIC controllers. For the illustration of numerical results a simulation of the linear induction motor drive controlled was made by MATLAB/Simulink. The designs were tested in a rapid control prototyping (RCP) system based on digital signal processing (DSP) for dSPACE platform, using the 1103 controller card and control desk interface.

The higher solar energy urges to maximize the solar energy extraction and utilization. This paper aim is to propose a new technique for extending the daily extraction time via a proposed aggregated PV cell. This system idea is using group of the photovoltaic (PV) cells to behave as an interactive regulated cell according to the series or parallel connections, it can call it an aggregated cell. This can be realized by interactive switching system according to the single cell output voltage. Six 6V PV cells are used for configuring the proposed single aggregated 6V PV cell. The technique depends on both single-cell number and their interconnections pattern. Switching the panel connection between the fully series cells to full parallel ones according to either sunlight states or the single-cell output is automatically achieved using an interactive control system. This system includes a voltage sensor that implements the suitable switching pattern for the aggregated cell. The ripple voltages during both morning and afternoon low sun times, as well as due to any other reason such as the lower clouds are efficiently eliminated. The simulated and the experimental results show in a satisfactory agreement the proposed aggregated PV cell validation.

The method for assessing the contributions of distortion sources based on measuring consumer currents and calculating their projections onto the supply current vector is considered in the paper. Determination of contributions is carried out on the basis of the developed model of an industrial enterprise in the food industry in MATLAB Simulink software. This study presents various cases of simulation, including variable parameters of linear and non-linear consumer load, changes in parameters of external distortion sources and passive harmonic filters. It is shown that the considered method gives correct results in the absence of external distortions in the electrical grid. The considered criteria for the share contributions make it possible to estimate the most efficient place for installing a passive filter in the absence of external distortions. An indicator for evaluating external distortions has also been developed based on calculating the projection of the harmonic system current onto the harmonic current of the shunt filter at the considered frequency.

Fossil fuels are being replaced by renewables. Most of the renewables are intermittent, to have reliable power the renewables have to be conditioned before injecting into the utility grid. The DC-DC converters are perfect power electronic devices for conditioning the renewables. The single ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) performs the conditioning with a very high voltage transfer gain and minimum ripples. The maximum power extraction from the PV panels is required for providing good quality DC power. Intelligent controllers can make use of optimization techniques. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique can optimize the controller to extract the maximum power. The SEPIC converter duty variation is optimized and a comparative analysis with the Buck-Boost converter is done in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. The proposed SEPIC converter system performed well by improving the power tracking by 40% and the system has been analysed in a battery charging environment.

Hydropower has been used for many years and is essential to meet the renewable energy ambition of the world at present. In a hydroelectric power plant, voltage and frequency control are required, but, the voltage control could be done on the load side. In the present paper, frequency control using Harris Hawks optimization (HHO) for improved performance has been presented. Simulations are performed on the dynamic model of the hydropower plant and results are compared with the conventional PID that is designed using the Ziegler-Nichols method. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is also tested at dynamic conditions of the hydropower plant.

The lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery has a high demand because of its long cycle, reliability, high energy density, low toxic, low self-discharge rate, high power density, and high efficiency. However, lithium-ion batteries have sensitivity to over-charge, temperature, and charge discharge currents. The conventional battery charging system takes a very long time to charge which makes the battery temperature high. Therefore, a charger system that can maximize charging capacity, shorten charging time, and extend battery life is needed. In this study, a battery charging system was developed using the constant current–fuzzy (CC-fuzzy) control method. The aim is to get faster charging time and maintain battery life by limiting the battery charging temperature. The proposed charger system is dual mode which can be operated in both buck and boost mode. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is superior compared to the constant current constant voltage (CCCV) method in charging time. The CC-fuzzy method charging time is faster compared to the CCCV method by 25% and 12.5% in buck and boost modes, respectively. Whereas from the battery temperature, in buck mode, the proposed method has a lower temperature by 0.5 ⁰C and in the boost mode, each method has the same temperature.
