<![CDATA[The switched reluctance motor (SRM) offers extensive prospects, particularly within the realm of electric vehicles (EVs). Its robust construction, wide speed range, high torque density, and efficiency provide significant advantages that surpass other motors. Nonetheless, controlling these motors is more intricate when compared to conventional DC brushed or AC motors. This complexity arises due to the non-linear inductance characteristics of SRMs, resulting in undesirable effects like torque ripple, vibrations, and noise. Using the conventional full-bridge inverter, three switching approaches are highlighted for various operating modes of an EV. This aims to reduce costs and the number of switching pulses, leading to a more compact system, elimination of dead time, and switching losses. The MATLAB/Simulink platform was utilized to examine the operational effectiveness of a three-phase 6/4 poles SRM drive. Additionally, this paper focuses on mitigating torque ripple concerns by employing an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller that has better efficiency and superior responses compared to conventional controllers such as fuzzy logic control (FLC) and proportional integral (PI) control. The results of the simulation encourage the practical implementation of the system, which is the next step in the author’s research.]]>

<![CDATA[Multilevel inverters (MLIs) offer numerous advantages, such as low voltage stresses on power switches, low switching losses, and high efficiency. Switching angles applied to MLI must be selected carefully to generate an output voltage waveform with low total harmonic distortion (THD). This paper proposes an improved algorithm to determine the switching angles with low THD for MLI. The proposed algorithm has been implemented using a MATLAB script to compute a set of switching angles with low THD from 3- to 31-level cascaded H-bridge MLI (CHBMLI). A PSIM simulation model has been developed to validate the switching angles and the corresponding THDs obtained from the MATLAB script. An experimental prototype has also been developed to validate the simulation results. The results obtained from the MATLAB script, the PSIM simulation, and the experimental measurement are in good agreement.]]>

<![CDATA[Fuel prices are rising, and fossil fuel resources are depleting. This fuel is consumed by conventional fuel vehicles, which contributes to increased greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Various vehicle technologies have been introduced in modern times. Among these innovations, fuel cell vehicle technology stands out due to its ease of use, robustness, and simplicity. The primary energy source for this system is hydrogen. Fuel cells use hydrogen to generate electricity through a chemical process that does not involve combustion. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and development of a simulation model for a fuel cell (proton exchange membrane type) vehicle using mathematical equations and the MATLAB/Simulink R2020a software, taking into account all voltage losses and temperature variations of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) type fuel cell. The designed model is validated in two ways: first by generating V-I characteristics for the designed PEM-type fuel cell, and then by performing a performance test in Simulink using the driving cycle on one of the fuel cell vehicles. The obtained simulated results are nearly identical to the expected results, and the designed PEM-type fuel cell performed well in all real-time driving cycle test conditions.]]>

<![CDATA[Due to the increased demand for electrical energy, many countries were prompted nowadays to search for new sources. One important source is the photovoltaic energy. However, despite the great benefits of this source, some defects where observed when linking to distribution networks (negative impact on the protection system). Hence, an approach of improving the protection system in distribution networks integrated with photovoltaic cells is presented in this paper. The protection system improvement is proposed by changing the impedance to resistance ratio (X/R) values of the networks cables, which leads to increasing the overcurrent relays' response speed when a fault occurs. A comparative analysis with different cable reactance values was conducted. The electrical transient analyzer program (ETAP) software was used to investigate and validate the effects on the relay’s response times. Amriya Fallujah power station, located in Iraq, was investigated as a case study. Simulation results show that it is possible to increase the response speed of the overcurrent relay by reducing X/R of the network cables. For more validation, the distance relay was used to compare the best improvement results of changing the X/R ratio with the results of changing the type of relay, which also shows the strength of the proposed method.]]>

<![CDATA[This research paper proposes the integration of power electronics and internet of things (IoT) technologies to apply in shrimp farms. By focusing on the design of a front-end converter, a three-level half-bridge (3L-HB) DC-DC converter with the zero voltage and zero current switching (ZVZCS) technique is chosen to be the front-end power converter to supply the DC bus voltage for the variable frequency drive (VFD) inverter for the paddle wheel machine in the shrimp pond. To confirm the effectiveness and possibility of the proposed concept, the circuit was theoretically designed and tested at 540 V DC of the input voltage, 700 V DC of the DC bus voltage and 3 kW of rated power. It is found that, the front-end converter can step up the DC bus to be 700 V DC which is enough for operating the VFD inverter. All switches can achieve the soft switching condition ZVZCS resulting in decreasing the switching loss and increasing the reliability of the circuit. The maximum experimental efficiency of the front-end converter is 94.9% at 75% of a full load. In addition, the introductory concept of using the IoT system also presents to improve the shrimp farming method.]]>

<![CDATA[The inherent non-linearity of the system being investigated highlights the limitations of traditional proportional integral or PI tuning approaches. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to construct and refine the PI controller by leveraging the salp swarm algorithm, aiming to enhance the performance of the DC drive output. Through the application of the salp swarm algorithm, the fuzzy PI controller undergoes dynamic online modifications, leading to optimal results. The controller's superior performance is achieved by employing an optimization approach to identify the optimal set of solutions for the Fuzzy PI parameters. Rigorous simulations are conducted to comprehensively evaluate the proposed salp swarm algorithm technique, assessing its viability and efficacy in real-world. Thorough simulations assess the viability of the salp swarm algorithm, evaluating its effectiveness in real-world applications. The study demonstrates the methodology's reliability through comparative analyses of DC/DC converters against alternative methods. In non-linear systems like the DC drive, innovative optimization strategies are shown to significantly boost PI controller performance. The findings offer valuable insights for advanced control system design.]]>

<![CDATA[Indonesia's commitment to reducing the use of fossil fuels for power generation has encouraged the exploration of biomass energy from waste materials. Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) turbine technology that converts waste into electrical energy can be an opportunity for the development of waste power plants. The developed ORC turbine has not been assessed for innovation readiness level (IRL). To address this gap, a comprehensive evaluation of the IRL and technology readiness level (TRL) of the ORC turbine is essential. This study uses qualitative and quantitative methods, combining the IRL and TRL frameworks. The results reveal that the ORC turbine market is ready, although the technology is still in the early stages of development (IRL 2). In order to achieve IRL 3 and be prepared to enter the decline stage as part of the market evolution phase, intellectual property protection, product testing, and certification must be carried out. The establishment of a product certification agency with testing facilities to ensure turbine performance is required. IRL and TRL approaches can be used to determine the stages of research activities that can be achieved by looking at the availability of resources needed at each level.]]>

<![CDATA[Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) current mode logic (MCML) is generally preferred for high-speed circuit design. In this paper, a novel low voltage folded (LVF) MCML D-Latch is designed. The existing topologies of the MCML D-Latch consume more power and operate at 1 V. The proposed D-Latch can operate at 0.6V with better delay and power management. MCML circuits minimize delay and perform fast operations, hence it can be used in high-frequency applications. The proposed LVF MCML D–Latch is analyzed with the parameters such as power, delay, power delay product and output noise using cadence virtuoso in 45 nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology at a voltage of 0.6 V and a temperature of 27 °C. The proposed technique achieves 62.11% of power reduction, transient response speed improved by 51.23% and noise cancellation becomes 26.13% improvement over the existing circuit. It also achieves 96% of output swing which is more efficient compared to others. Finally, the parametric analysis is performed with different temperatures to verify the stability of the proposed circuit. From the simulated results, it is clear that the proposed LVF MCML D-Latch provides better performance in high-speed phase locked loop (PLL) applications.]]>

<![CDATA[Multilevel inverters have received a lot of interest in recent years due to their ability to deliver more voltage levels than typical two-level inverters. Because of this property, multilevel inverters can produce output waveforms that closely resemble sinusoidal waveforms, lowering harmonic distortion dramatically. The emergence of reduced switch symmetrical multilevel inverter topologies has developed the curiosity of many different power conversion systems. These new topologies offer numerous advantages, including greater output voltage quality, fewer harmonic distortions, and increased power conversion efficiency. The inclusion of these inverters in the feeding of induction motors is one of their many prominent uses. A 17 levels of multi-level inverter (MLI) topology is presented with reduced switch count and harmonic reduction for power quality improvement. The inverter is fed by isolated equal photovoltaic panels which act as direct current or DC source. To reduce complexity, switching pulses are generated using hybrid pulse width modulation technique which is designed as controller. Through the use of MATLAB/Simulink, the performance assessment of a unique cascaded multilevel inverter-based reduced switch symmetrical inverter feeding an induction motor drive has been verified. The harmonic distortion with reduced switches obtained is 7.47% which is comparatively less than when compared with conventional cascaded H-bridge topology.]]>
