Multilevel inverter (MLI) technology has lately emerged as one of the most popular solutions for high power and medium voltage energy management. MLIs have many benefits and require more switches for higher levels, which are considered disadvantaged. This could result in large size and extremely expensive cost for the MLI. So, in order to overcome this problem, a new MLI topology is proposed with reduced number of switches. A 25â€level inverter fed by isolated unequal photovoltaic panels as DC sources is chosen in this study. The structure of DC voltages is chosen as (1:1:5:5) Vdc. The proposed approach, which is created using twelve switches, is ideally suited for a high-power application. Multi-carrier with a sinusoidal PWM technique is programmed as a controller. According to the simulation findings, a single-phase system's output voltage and current total harmonic distortion (THD) values are 1.2% and 0.462%, respectively, while a three-phase system's values are 1.07% and 0.342%. These findings prove that the power circuit and investigation were successful.

The paper presented a hybrid micro-grid renewable energy of different energy sources to generate uninterrupted electricity for the Agu-Amede village using PV, diesel, biogas, and battery. The system optimization was performed to determine techno-economic analysis and energy generated using HOMER software. The energy generated by the hybrid system was able to meet the demand load of the village at all levels of biomass production with surplus electricity in each case when the production of the biogas system varied between 0.5 tons to 3 tons. At biomass production of 3 tons, the total energy generated demand is 480693 kWh with a surplus of 121762 kWh. Again, the hybrid PV and biogas system generate total energy of 98714 kWh (20.50%) and 381979 kWh (79.50%), respectively. The net present cost (NPC) and cost of energy (COE) of the base case architecture (diesel) measured are $1230000 and $0.267/kWh, respectively. Therefore, between 2.5 tons and 3.0 tons of biomass penetration, the energy production of biogas increased, and the diesel system was removed from the hybrid system setup. This is because the availability of biogas is almost sufficient to meet the load demand at a lower cost and solar PV architecture was added to the hybrid system to balance energy production.

This research aims to design a flyback topology switch-mode power supply constant voltage and constant current light emitting diode (LED) driver to improve the performance of the LED. The flyback topology is chosen for its simple design and small size and uses high-frequency switching to lower the high DC voltage from the power source. The research aims to avoid blackouts caused by a drop in the power source voltage and to produce technological products that can be developed for other lighting applications. The constant-voltage feedback system ensures that the current flowing to the LED remains stable despite changes in load or other conditions. When there is a voltage drop from the power source, this topology can maintain the voltage and current stable and in accordance with the working voltage specifications of the LEDs. According to test results, the LED driver's output voltage ranges from 18.03 to 18.06 volts with an average message error value of 0.3%. In this system, switching occurs at frequencies ranging from 18.041 Hz to 38.230 Hz. With a constant current value of 0.58 ampere, the resulting lamp's lux value is stable and does not significantly change.

Nowadays, electrical grid experiences an increase in penetration of single-phase PV generations. Then, it becomes necessary to control this penetration by techniques of synchronization in order to provide electrical energy of good quality to the network. Estimation of the frequency, phase and magnitude of the grid voltage are necessary to correctly synchronizing the PV generator with grid. Connecting a direct current generator to grid via an inverter, requires to fix the performances to improve in the inverter to choose the best-suited topology. This paper describes the control of a non-isolated single-stage single-phase grid-connected inverter fed by a photovoltaic source. In order to define the influence of the three parameters: modulation index, switching frequency and phase shift angle, it is interesting to know the behavior of the system when one of these parameters moves away from its optimal value. Optimal values make it possible to obtain a THD as small as possible to satisfy the international standard. In this work, modulation index and switching frequency are set to their respective optimal values. To study grid current and inverter currents before and after filtering, harmonic analysis is performed for seven shift angles for the same switching frequency (10000 Hz) and modulation index (2.2).

This paper presents an artificial intelligence direct torque control (DTC) method for an electric vehicle (EV) drive system. The architecture of the proposed electric vehicle is that of four wheels each with an induction motor (IM). A comparative study of the different torque and speed controllers proposed in this paper is made. An electronic differential is used to control the speed of each wheel as well as a variable master-slave control (VMSC) for the management of the magnetic quantities because the motors on the same side are fed by the same converter. This study allows highlights the performance of the propulsion system in terms of dynamics and safety of the vehicle and better stability. The different controllers are implemented by the MATLAB/Simulink software and the simulation results obtained show better flexibility in the control of the vehicle. It is worth noting that direct torque control with fuzzy logic (DTFC) performs better than DTC associated with neural networks in terms of a time reduction increase of 1.47%, an overshoot of less than 5.33, and a static steady-state error close to zero.

The paper describes field oriented control strategy with space vector pulse width modulation technique of permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system for an electric vehicle. At first, mathematical models of the motor and the drive system for electric vehicle are presented. In order to obtain high performance drive and maximum motor torque, field oriented control strategy and space vector pulse width modulation technique method are applied to drive system in next section. Speed controller design utilizing the popular zero-pole elimination approach causes large integral constant time in case of small rotational damping constant. The desired-transient-response-based approach is employed to overcome the problem. Performance indices include overshoot, undershoot, steady-state speed error, and total harmonic distortion of stator current, are employed to assess the drive systems with two speed controller design methods. Theoretical assumptions are confirmed via simulations and criteria in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

In this paper, frequency oscillation has been present as it is an important issue in power systems, especially when it is joined to the new trend to use alternative energies as an energy source, as well as to be a big risk for the inter-connection of the modern electric power networks. Wind farm acts as alternative energy and connected to two buses on the Iraqi power system. Because the low-frequency oscillation monitoring needs be accurate and fast, the main objective is to propose a novel online monitoring system consisting of phasor measurement unit's (PMU) with artificial intelligence neural network (PMU-NN). The location of the phasor measurement units has been optimized using (graph-theoretic procedure algorithm) and the function for the artificial intelligence (NN) is radial basis function (RBFNN). The data information from phasor measurement units is the inputs to the artificial intelligence system then predictions are made Information on low-frequency oscillation (target). The MATLAB toolboxes (PSAT & NN) used to obtain results. Finally, from the results, the validity of the proposed (PMU-NN) system has been proven and tested on the Iraqi power grid (24 bus) in several cases and several places on the network and the comparison was made with the analysis model.

Synchronous generator conventional model accurately describes only the stator circuit. Concerning the transients for rotor quantities, for example rotor voltage, rotor current, and rotor magneto-motor force, conceivable predetermined with acceptable accuracy if calculations are created on equivalent model properly on consideration of field and damper together with stator circuits. Unfortunately, it was recognized that simulated responses using conventional model with calculated machine parameters often did not match well with actual measured responses, particularly in the quantity’s rotor winding. For this intention, the newly method to producing the rotor circuit is to model it as well as the lines that conventionally viewed as the partition of current paths from the physical construction. Besides the physical field and damper circuits, a third circuit for the eddy currents induced in the pole surface could also be added. The all conclusions prove the correctness of synchronous generator model.

Considering its favorable characteristics, photovoltaic energy is widely recognized as highly beneficial to the environment. To achieve continuous maximum output power across the PV system, an efficient control strategy is developed after studying several maximum power point detection (MPPT) techniques. Consequently, this paper presents a useful control technique for maximizing power extraction from PV systems under varying conditions. The paper focuses on the design of a fuzzy logic control (FLC)-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system for a standalone photovoltaic (SAPV) system with battery storage. The FLC is employed to extract the maximum power from a PV module and integrate it with the battery to supply the load. The FLC offers advantages over conventional MPPT methods, such as accurate and rapid response to changes in environmental conditions, including solar irradiance and temperature. The PV system exhibits low total harmonic distortion (THD), making it ideal for household appliances, and can deliver 230 Vrms of single-phase output AC power. The system is designed and implemented in MATLAB/Simulink, incorporating a solar module, DC-to-DC converters, battery storage, and an inverter for supplying AC loads. Simulation results for selected test conditions are presented and discussed. The system performance is evaluated through steady state tests and dynamic tests in simulations.
