<![CDATA[This paper presents a modulation strategy applied to a 13-level three-phase transistor clamped H-bridge (TCHB) inverter, aimed at a renewable and electric vehicle drives application. A comparison is performed between the TCHB inverter and a traditional cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter, considering circuit complexity, switching losses, and total harmonic distortion (THD) attained from each multilevel inverter topologies. The TCHB inverter achieves a 13-level output with only 15 switches, whereas the conventional CHB inverter requires 24 switches. The modulation technique, employing a nearest level control, yields improved output quality for both the TCHB and CHB multilevel inverters. The results demonstrate that this strategy effectively minimizes the overall THD. Notably, previous modulation techniques mainly focused on carrier-based PWM or SVPWM, making this approach distinctive. The FFT analysis reveals a voltage THD of 5.49% for TCHB and 5.15% for CHB, indicating a marginal difference in THD content for each multilevel inverter. Despite the CHB inverter experiencing double the switching stress compared to TCHB, since less switches are required in the TCHB inverter, consequently, the system's total cost and complexity are reduced. The achieved results are verified through the use of simulations carried out in the MATLAB Simulink.]]>

<![CDATA[The transition towards an eco-friendly and lasting energy system is enabled by the presence of electric vehicles (EVs) and the utilization of renewable energy resources. Despite its intermittent occurrence, solar energy empowers sunny areas to capture renewable energy from sunlight and produce electricity continuously all day long. This energy will be able to smooth the consumption peaks during peak hours and ensure the electrical network flexibility by being injected at various voltage levels. Electric vehicles are supplied by low voltage recharging stations and are seen as power loads that, if rapidly and simultaneously recharged, could potentially affect the stability of the electrical grid. This paper introduces an intelligent method for electric vehicle charging designed to mitigate the impact of simultaneous charging, specifically addressing voltage drop issues. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the positive impact of integrating photovoltaic energy into the distribution network, serving as support, and alleviating the afore cited impact. The simulation results obtained using MATLAB/Simulink illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in charging electric vehicles, particularly in reducing the observed voltage drop. There is a notable enhancement in voltage drop across all study cases, amounting to a 27 V improvement compared to charging without the proposed method.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents solution to power quality issues when integrating a 1.5 MW photovoltaic array (PVA) with a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) into the power grid. A modified unit vector template control scheme is used to generate a reference load voltage signal, and a synchronous reference frame (SRF) is created using a low-pass filter to control UPQC. Furthermore, the PVA is interfaced with the grid through a common DC link of shunt and series converters. The series converter mitigates power quality problems allied with the grid side, such as 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics, voltage sag, and voltage swell, by introducing signals in phase and out of phase voltage, respectively, at the point of common coupling (PCC). The shunt converter mitigates nonlinear load current harmonics and compensates for reactive power using SRF. The suggested methodology is implemented using MATLAB Simulink with both linear and nonlinear loads under different power quality conditions. Total harmonic distortions are maintained below 5% at PCC, as per IEEE-519 standards.]]>

<![CDATA[A dry-lab test rig is a powerful means to reduce costs in the design process of a wave energy conversion system (WECs). A dry-lab test rig technique allows the use of real components inside a simulation of a mathematical model. This paper presents the development of an innovative dry-lab test rig for the mechanicalhydraulic power take-off (MHPTO) unit of WECs. The development of a drylab test rig of MHPTO involves several processes, such as three-dimension (3D) modelling, component purchasing, structure fabrication, component installation, and operational testing. The developed dry-lab test rig consists of two main parts, such as the simulated wave emulator plant and the real MHPTO unit plant. The simulated wave emulator plant was developed in this test rig to replicate the interaction motion between the ocean wave motion and the wave absorber device. The developed dry-lab test rig was tested using five different irregular wave input conditions to ensure it could perform under the five different wave input conditions. The overall results demonstrate that the developed dry-lab test rig was successfully performed in all sea states. From the results, the profile of electrical power produced by the real MHPTO unit can be clearly obtained in each sea state.]]>

<![CDATA[Electricity consumption is rising across all industries. Residential electricity use dominates the sector. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on residential roofs are increasing quickly, notably in Dhaka, Bangladesh. PV power generation is high at peak sun irradiance. Due to light loads, residential structures use less electricity. PV system surplus electricity may be transmitted to the national grid. Residential customers may sell power to the government, lowering their electricity expense. Traditional energy meters make it difficult to calculate PV system consumption by load and grid injection. This is possible with net metering. Thus, this study presents an internet of things (IoT)-based smart net energy meter for home users to provide surplus solar PV power and consume grid electricity when needed. With the government's new power tariff rate, the net bill will be calculated automatically. A dedicated mobile application is used to monitor all the activities. The billing statement will be generated automatically, and the payment of that bill will be payable using a redirect link with the same mobile application. The suggested smart net energy meter will inform SMS/mobile app users of gas, smoke, and tempering. The suggested meter's performance and efficacy were evaluated using software simulation and hardware analysis.]]>

<![CDATA[This article reveals the conceptualization and implementation of energy harvesting system that utilize piezoelectric arrays within environments marked by elevated ambient noise levels. The selected methodology involves conducting an empirical study where the system is introduced into a room with pronounced ambient noise. A series configuration is adopted for assembling the piezoelectric sensors. For this particular experiment, 36 piezoelectric sensor units were arranged, each equipped with a voltage doubler circuit, aiming to harness a specific micropower energy threshold. The experimental results validate the successful development of an energy harvesting mechanism employing a piezoelectric array within a noisy setting. Notably, the device functions optimally at a frequency of 250 Hz. Additionally, a series of controlled experimental tests were executed at a sound level of 95.8 dBA to assess the efficacy of the piezoelectric array. Measurements taken at the voltage doubler output reveal that the device achieves its peak output signal at 3.32 Vpp and 50.42 Hz. The maximum attainable direct current (DC) voltage stands at 1 Volt, complemented by a current of 0.45 mA.]]>

<![CDATA[The convergence time is one of the key parameters for evaluating the energy conversion efficiency of PV power systems in the experimental process of tracking the maximum power point (MPP) in real-time. When the PV system is partially shaded, for example, MPP tracking easily slips into the local MPP and takes a long time. To overcome this drawback, a new solution for a stand-alone PV power system has been proposed that combines the incremental conductance (In-Cond) algorithm and the improved grey wolf optimization (GWO) approach. The improved GWO technique changed the methodology is used to find the global power area in this proposed method, and it is integrated with the In-Cond algorithm to fast obtain the global MPP. To demonstrate the efficacy of the suggested strategy, MATLAB/ Simulation and experiment results of the PV system are provided. The proposed hybrid method has a quick response time of 0.18 to 0.42 seconds for good transient oscillation and global power tracking, whereas the classic GWO and particle swarm optimization (PSO) methods take 0.82 to 2.1 seconds and 0.68 to 2.2 seconds, respectively. The global MPP was obtained not only with uniform irradiance intensity, but also with partial shade.]]>

<![CDATA[This article describes the nonlinear control of input output linearization type without speed sensor of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). This machine which has several advantages such as simple structure and high efficiency. Its control requires speed determination by sensor. Due to several disadvantages of using the speed sensor, we replaced it with a so-called Luenberger observer. The simulation results show that the observer considerably improves the performance of the PMSM in particular in overshooting during start-up and during speed reversal. It also shows good robustness when applying load torque. To obtain high operating performance of the PMSM, it basically needs to replace the proportional integral (PI) controller with another controller based on fuzzy logic. This artificial intelligence technique allowed us to obtain more efficient results than the traditional method.]]>

<![CDATA[This work concerns an investigation on the analysis of the magnetic saturation effects in the three-phase squirrel cage induction generator which is considered as a main device in wind energy conversion systems. The magnetic saturation is considered as an important factor causing destructive effects on power qualities such as harmonics and distortion. Several approaches have been presented in the literature for the modeling of the electric machines considering magnetic saturation. The widely used and precise approach is the finite elements method which is particularly characterized by its high computational time. The novelty in this paper is that a state model has been developed for the healthy conditions of the three-phase squirrel cage induction generators considering the experimental variation of the magnetizing inductance in terms of the magnetizing current. Simulation and experimental tests are provided to extract some important signatures on stator voltages and currents. It will be deduced that the spectrum analysis of stator currents contains useful information on magnetic saturation. Experimental and theoretical results illustrate the consistency of this approach for the modeling and analysis of the squirrel cage induction generators considering the magnetic saturation.]]>
