<![CDATA[With the rapidly depleting natural energy resources and increasing population worldwide, the calls for more energy demand have risen globally. In this vein, the world is transitioning from traditional to renewable energy sources (RES) to meet the required demands. However, the (RES), due to its variable nature, has voltage stability and power quality issues that need to get minimized to enhance the reliability of the (RES) system. This paper reviews the voltage stability and quality issues in the AC distribution system based on renewable energy sources (RES). Initially the renewable energy sources and problems associated with renewable energy sources are discussed. This article gives an overview of voltage control strategies based on local as well as communication-based phenomenon for distribution networks. In this review a hybrid solar photovoltaic and wind system is used to generate the power of 3-5 kW. A voltage controller topology is suggested using MATLAB/Simulink for enhancing voltage stability of the system. It is suggested that a voltage stability controller can be designed using recommended topology by using Arduino with pulse width modulation technique. Thus, by measuring and correcting real-time voltage instability values of the system, the system can be made more reliably secure, efficient, and stable than the previously proposed renewable AC distribution systems.]]>

<![CDATA[The study investigates a micro grid incorporating photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell and battery systems with an optimized proportional integral (PI) controller. A PV system serves as the primary green energy source, while a fuel cell acts as a supplementary source to compensate for power fluctuations. A single ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) integrated Cuk converter boosts PV system's DC output voltage, controlled by a crow search-optimized PI (CS-PI) controller. A PI controller controls the fuel cell's minimum DC output voltage, which is raised by a boost converter to produce a controlled output. The proposed converter demonstrates robust performance across varying operational conditions with a reduced settling time of 0.9 s and an efficiency of 96.2%. A bidirectional converter links the battery to the grid, facilitating energy transfer in both directions and accommodating boost and buck operating characteristics thereby maintaining a state-of-charge (SOC) of 60%. This study employs MATLAB to establish effective PV-fuel storage control approaches, optimize energy extraction, and ensure steady power for a grid-connected system.]]>

<![CDATA[Micro-grids (MGs) play a prominent role in the exchange of bulk power between loads and the central grid. MG can run in an islanding mode or grid-connected mode. When the central grid fails to provide power in such situations, MGs serves as power sources for critical facilities such as coordination facilities in railway stations and airports, transportation, university and research facilities. MGs use energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass to produce electricity along with rechargeable batteries, aircraft applications is continuously increasing. This leads to the development of DC MGs. A model of DC MG is located at the disaster management lab in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The MG consists of step-downed and rectified DC power supply from conventional 230 V AC source, a PV array, wind, and a battery bank a source supplying power to a set of nine DC loads. Although DC MGs have many advantages compared to AC MGs, one of the challenges faced is the study of faults and protection of the DC MG. In this paper, a prototype for the existing system in the disaster management lab is designed in hardware and tested.]]>

<![CDATA[Conventional direct torque control (DTC) can be served to drive a dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP-PMSM) by controlling the torque and speed. It relies on the direct application of controlled sequences through the use of a combination of dual hysteresis controllers with a transitioning table. In the course of conventional DTC implementation, there's generation of high armature current with lower-level harmonics, leading to increased losses that affect the machine's effectiveness. To enable a diminishment in these harmonics and consequently enhance the motor's efficiency, an approach to modify the conventional DTC is proposed. Specifically, this strategy involves adapting a new distribution of sectors and substituting the elements of the obtained switching table with synthetic elements. Simulated data validate the effectiveness of the chosen methodology.]]>

<![CDATA[This research investigates short-circuit problems in induction motor stators by constructing a motor with a changing winding and leaking flux data. The data is used to evaluate X, Y, and Z axes and map motor waves under normal and abnormal conditions. This study is expected to compare the effectiveness of the observation method from three different axes at the same motor condition to be further helpful in repairing induction motor damage caused by the circuit. From the results of the study, it shows that the harmonic value of the stator current will be more effective than the Y axis with a harmonic amplitude value of -38.8 dB, higher than the harmonic value of the current on the X axis with a difference of 33.89 dB and a difference of 0.32 dB from the Z axis. Suppose the disturbance is measured from the stray harmonic value. In that case, the flux will be more effective than the X axis with a harmonic amplitude value - 25.27 dB, higher than the harmonic value of the flux on the Y axis with a difference of 6.425 and a difference of 4.85 dB from the Z axis.]]>

<![CDATA[Since the range of an electric vehicle (EV) is important, vehicles with the longest range are preferred. As a result, a survey is conducted on the longest-range vehicles commercially available to estimate the charging power required. EV range has recently increased significantly and can now be charged at home, adding to the benefits of EV. The paper will present the best three EV models with the longest range. So, the specifications of the most popular EV commercially available had been analyzed. Nonetheless, charging stations are still required, which is a critical issue. This paper discusses various approaches to EV charging stations that rely primarily on AC or DC power supply. The previous year’s accomplishments will be highlighted. The three EV charging station levels will be thoroughly addressed. It is primarily classified based on voltage, power and types. In this type of charging EV must equipped with rectifier to change AC-DC to charge batteries. The impact of rapid advancements in power electronics technology has been discussed as AC-DC converter, as its advancement will determine the future of EV charging stations. Renewable energy sources (hydropower, photovoltaic, and wind) are now essential as energy source. Recommendations for increasing EV sales will be made.]]>

<![CDATA[Stand-alone photovoltaic system or PV is a power generation technology with potential that is environmentally friendly and also one of the solutions for saving high electricity rates today. However, problems that often occur due to weather fluctuations that are always changing, especially North Sumatra, Indonesia result in the conversion produced by solar cells not being optimal. Therefore, it is necessary to do a new model with a dual tracker system and the development of accelerator motor actuators so that the resulting energy conversion is more optimal. The result of optimizing the reliability of the polycrystalline type solar panel which is designed with an additional photovoltaic tracker system to maximize the conversion of solar energy to solar panels is to obtain an output power of 303.72 volts DC and 267.52 volts DC in the position where the tracker is not used. Then the percentage increase in energy reached 29.80%. Dual axis tracker technology is able to maximize energy conversion in improving PV usage performance. The implementation of a stand-alone PV system will be beneficial if the installation is in Indonesian territory, especially in disadvantaged, frontier and outermost areas.]]>

<![CDATA[In recent trends, hybrid renewable energy sources (HRES) provide a better solution to meet energy demand, maximizing the productivity of electricity network. Due to the above-mentioned features, several researchers have given more attention to PV-wind-based HRES systems. A stable energy supply must be added, including batteries, diesel generator (DG), to meet demand in the event of a grid failure. To meet the voltage unbalance in islanded mode, the sizes of DG have need to be selected sensibly and HRES requires additional energy storage. To examine the voltage unbalance problems of an islanded microgrid, a hybrid optimization approach known as moth flame optimization (MFO) and firebug swarm optimization (FSO) is introduced. Due to various loads, harmonic distortion causes the voltage to unbalance, which can result in voltage collapse. To deliver a quick response in an island mode, a comprehensive algorithm called MFO-FSO control is proposed. MATLAB software is used to validate the results which demonstrate that the proposed MFO-FSO outperforms the conventional decoupling double synchronous reference frame (DDSRF) methods by reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) up to 1.21% and voltage unbalance factor (VUF) up to 1.427%.]]>

<![CDATA[Photovoltaic (PV) systems encounters different problems of weather conditions that lowers their generated power. For this reason, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) have been designed to track the maximum power at all times and thus minimize these losses. However, under complexes partial shading condition (PSC) these losses are even higher. Classical MPPT algorithms fails to track the global MPP (GMPP) which further augment the power losses. Alternately, a grid connected topology of the PV system is chosen but needs a control method to phase the inverter current with the grid. This paper introduces a novel algorithm named power search algorithm (PSA) that memorizes the highest peak as it scans the PV curve then returns and locks it. Due to its simplicity, this proposed method is suitable for practical use and manages to track the GMPP with high efficiency of 99.5% and a mean response time of 0.04 s. Comparison was made with a gray wolf optimization (GWO) technique. Simulation was done in MATLAB/Simulink. Results shows that the proposed algorithm performed better than the GWO in all aspect of efficiency, tracking time and oscillations around GMPP. Also, a backstepping control was used to inject a good synchronized power to the grid.]]>

<![CDATA[Recent research has concerted on transformer-less multilevel inverters (TL-MLIs) due to their high-voltage or high-power capacity for converting the low-voltage output of renewable energy sources to the desired output. Moreover, they yield higher efficiency, lower cost and size than the conventional type. However, these inverters usually suffer from leakage current. The proposed inverter attempts to accommodate this concern to the greatest extent feasible. The proposed inverter structure exhibits a common ground between the input and output ports. Due to this, the total common mode voltage (CMV) is constant. The photovoltaic (PV) source to the grid parasitic capacitor is short-circuited due to this common ground feature, which results in negligible leakage current. The proposed inverter also features a boosting output voltage using only a single voltage source with minimum power devices. The number of output levels can be increased with the modular application of the proposed inverter. Finally, the mathematical analysis for the proposed inverter has been accomplished, and the MATLAB/Simulink simulation results are presented. Also, the results show the output voltage boost capability, zero leakage current and suitable total harmonic distortion for output voltage and current waveforms.]]>
