<![CDATA[Due to its capacity to supply more voltage levels than conventional 2-level inverters, multilevel inverters have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Multilevel inverters may produce output waveforms that nearly approximate sinusoidal waveforms because to this characteristic, which also significantly lowers harmonic distortion. In many different power conversion systems, the introduction of reduced switch symmetrical multilevel inverter topologies has drawn significant interest. Numerous benefits, such as higher output voltage quality, reduced harmonic distortions, and increased power conversion efficiency, are provided by these novel topologies. The inclusion of these inverters in the feeding of induction motors is one of their many prominent uses. In this paper, a generalized topology is presented that generates nine levels using nine switching devices. To reduce complexity, switching pulses are generated using a low frequency pulse width modulation technique. MATLAB/Simulink is used to analyze the performance assessment of a unique three-phase symmetric cascaded multilevel inverter-based reduced switch symmetrical inverter fed induction motor drive, brushless DC (BLDC) motor and grid has been verified. According to the findings the total harmonic distortion (THD) is found to be 15% for a three-phase system and as the number of levels increases to 17 level the THD is 7.10%.]]>

<![CDATA[Coordination of protective relays is a critical aspect of electrical distribution systems, ensuring effective and reliable protection against faults. In modern power systems, the integration of distributed generation (DG) sources adds complexity to the coordination task. The dynamic nature of DG systems requires adaptive relay settings that can swiftly detect and isolate faults while minimizing potential damage and downtime. The purpose of this research is to improve the coordination of directional over current relays in electrical distribution systems, particularly in DG systems. An optimization technique combining the grey wolf optimization (GWO) and cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) is developed to identify the best relay settings that reduce overall operation time while ensuring excellent fault identification and isolation. To address relay faults caused by DG integration, a suitable primary and backup relay design is chosen, and the influence of time multiplier settings (TMS) on system performance and reliability is investigated. The proposed GWO-CSA technique is evaluated and implemented on IEEE 3, 8 and 15-bus systems using MATLAB. Simulation results show that the GWO-CSA strategy outperforms well compared to previous algorithms, enabling optimal coordination and increased protection in DG systems while drastically lowering relay operating time.]]>

<![CDATA[The sub 100 µV voltage levels and sub 100 Hz frequency range makes the processing of most popular signal electroencephalograph (EEG) for brain functionality analysis, a complex task. The low frequency content of EEG (useful signals below 70 Hz) is commonly used for diagnosis of various brain related disorders making low-pass filter (LPF) a key block in front-end processing as noise reduction and resolution enhancement is crucial for precise recovery of these information. This paper is aimed to design reduced transconductance (Gm) based low power and small area CMOS LPF with cutoff frequency (fc) around 70 Hz. The proposed design is simulated using Cadence virtuoso tool and gives cut-off frequency of 72.958 Hz with low output noise of 3.0609 µV/√Hz and power consumption of 264.060 nW at operating voltage of 0.4 V. The simulation results show linearity of performance over -40 to 100 °C. Layout of circuit takes up area of 86.74×81.21 µm and post layout simulation shows 5% variation in power consumption as compared to pre layout simulations.]]>

<![CDATA[The global proliferation of renewable energy drastically altered the characteristics of power systems. Integration of clean energy sources reduces the inherent rotational inertia, making the system precarious and susceptible to various disturbances. The major challenges encountered are fast frequency fluctuations, voltage fluctuations, high rate of change of frequency (RoCoF), and frequency nadir. In order to address and adapt to a future low-inertia scenario, it is crucial to understand the effect of inertia on various parameters. This paper introduces a comprehensive review of the fundamental aspects of inertia and challenges that arise due to the reduction in inertia. Researchers have tackled this issue by employing various virtual inertia (VI) emulation techniques, which also have been extensively reviewed in the literature along with their merits, limitations, and recent developments. The impact of RES penetration on system dynamics is analyzed by simulating an IEEE-9 bus system with renewable energy source (RES) in MATLAB/Simulink. Furthermore, a three-phase fault is also introduced, to emphasize the effect of reduced inertia by observing the rotor angle and frequency deviation. The results validate that RES integration and fault location are observed to have a significant impact on stability parameters, making them extremely unstable.]]>

<![CDATA[In this study, we utilize the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) to optimize proportional integral derivative (PID) controller gains for load frequency control (LFC) in a multi-area hybrid renewable nonlinear power system. Incorporating generation rate constraints and dead-bands into the governor model, we examine system nonlinearities. Performance evaluation employs both single- and multi-objective functions, with actual sun irradiation data validating SSA-PID controllers' efficacy in managing renewable energy source uncertainties. Comparing with alternative optimization techniques across various operational scenarios reveals the SSA-PID controller's 15% improvement in dynamic response time. The findings suggest SSA enhances LFC dynamic response in hybrid renewable power systems, with potential generalizability. These results underscore SSA's utility in addressing system complexities, offering implications for improved stability and efficiency across renewable energy integration scenarios.]]>

<![CDATA[The agro-industry is the backbone of the global economy, even in the twenty-first century. The agro-industry would not be what it is now without irrigation. The production and use of renewable energy in this sector of the agricultural economy have also expanded rapidly in recent years. Base-load power production and conversions dominate the literature. This research examines user concerns. The swarm nano grid system fixes this. The pulse width modulation (PWM) sinusoidal inverter converted stable DC power from the bidirectional DC-DC converter into sinusoidal AC voltage for the irrigation pump induction motor. Solar panels, batteries, and converters are costly, but they pay off. The nano grid distributes excess power generated during low demand to local loads. This technique works well when the load can be disconnected from the power grid. MATLAB is used to keep an eye on the reliability and efficiency of the induction motor. In the first simulation, solar power generation is modeled using the MATLAB Simulink software in two distinct modes. A PWM sinusoidal inverter that is driven by solar energy is what provides power to the 5.67 kW induction submersible motor. The simulation result provides a conceptual model of how induction motors powered by renewable energy sources function in practice.]]>

<![CDATA[The energy crisis in Nigeria has continued to impede the rapid expansion of the telecommunication industry, whose operating expenditure is galloping due to over-dependence on diesel generators as an alternative source of power to its base transceiver station (BTS). This fossil-fuel power source has also increased the industry’s carbon footprint. As a solution to these problems, the objective of this work is to provide a sustainable and quality hybrid DC power supply system for BTS that would increase access to information and communication technology or ICT infrastructure. This involves the integration of solar & wind energy with the grid. The sizing of the hybrid sub-systems was designed & simulated using MATLAB Simulink to test for functionality. A prototype of the design system was then implemented with the results showing an average power output that guarantees 21 hours/day of supply. By installing this hybrid system of 1.3 kW, approximately 2.55 kg of diesel (C10H20) would be un-utilized by one BTS, thereby preventing 3.6 kg of CO2 from been emitted to the atmosphere daily. Extrapolating these values shows 930.75 kg of diesel can be saved and reduce 1314 kg of CO2 emission within a year. Hence eliminating the need for diesel-backup generator for a grid connected or non-grid BTS sited in rural areas.]]>

<![CDATA[A DC/DC converter based on photovoltaic (PV) grid connections is proposed here. This work focuses on the switched impedance source (S¬_ZSC) for electric vehicles. Every PV grid-connected system require step-up DC/DC converters to boost voltage range from low to high. Connecting an extra diode and a switch to the terminals of a standard quasi-impedance source DC/DC converter raises the step-up factors. In this proposed converter, this capacitor does more than just filter noise. Saturated inductors, on the other hand, can cause instability that needs not occur. In any case, the modulation index's H-bridge at its extremes is adjustable to a broader range when the circuit is used for DC-AC conversion. A larger boost factor is achieved with a shorter duty time as compared to currently available Z-source based systems. Both a buck-boost charging station and a KY-boost charging station were modeled for this investigation. PI or fuzzy logic controllers are utilized in DC-DC converters to keep the output voltage stable.]]>

<![CDATA[The improvement of overall power quality and optimal control of reactive and active power are issues that have attracted many researchers. The harmonic is considered a main stressful source for energy quality. This paper proposed the ability of artificial intelligence at controlling the active and reactive power and to reduce torque ripple and current harmonics thus improve energy quality and the stability of system, that by using the artificial intelligence controller and a neural network based space vector modulation with two levels inverter (NSVM-2L). These inverter hold the offer improved efficiency and have on account of their capability of high voltage operation compared with traditional inverters as reducing the harmonic. These results showed that the fuzzy logic controller's dynamic performance is very superior to that of the PID controller of DFIG. The fuzzy controller works well for helping us to minimize the rate of harmonic distortion of absorbed currents and for correctly adjusting active and reactive power and its stability of wind turbine compared to PID controller.]]>
