<![CDATA[A battery management system (BMS) is essential for maintaining peak efficiency and longevity of rechargeable batteries. Conventional battery management system techniques often struggle to monitor, protect, and particularly have difficulties in balancing batteries. The project proposed has introduced a battery management system that employs passive control techniques to address excess energy and overcome these challenges. In the proposed design, a shunt resistor dissipates surplus energy from lithium-ion battery cells into heat following the proposed BMS design. This passive control technique is economically efficient, uncomplicated, and does not require an external power source. A prototype of the proposed BMS design was tested and was able to accurately monitor the battery, dissipate excess energy, and protect the battery while maintaining the cell charge balance. These findings suggest that the proposed BMS has the potential to improve both the effectiveness and longevity of rechargeable batteries.]]>

<![CDATA[Permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors are favored for their low maintenance, high reliability, and efficiency, making them ideal for industrial, domestic, military, aerospace, and robotics applications. Sensor less control is the most preferred technique for PMBLDC motors due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness, eliminating the need for physical sensors. A crucial aspect of sensor less control is accurately detecting the point of zero crossing of the back electromotive force (BEMF) signals. Traditional methods, such as rotor position estimation, input observers, and AI-based strategies, can suffer from high ripples and computational inefficiencies. This paper introduces an approach using the rounding function to determine the point of zero crossing, aiming to enhance precision and reduce computational overhead. The rounding function converts continuous BEMF signals into discrete signals, minimizing ripples and facilitating accurate zero-crossing detection. This method improves detection accuracy while simplifying computation demands. Validation was performed through a MATLAB Simulink simulation and an experiment using the F28379D microcontroller, gate driver, and a six-switch inverter. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, showing agreement between experimental and simulation outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[This research focused on the separation of hydrogen gas from water and its utilization as a supplementary fuel blended with the primary fuel of an internal combustion engine. The test was divided into two steps: evaluating the energy efficiency of the electrolyzer and conducting experiments on pickup trucks (common rail diesel engine, 2,499 cc) to determine energy savings and pollution emission. The results showed that the efficiency of the electrolysis system with an average electricity consumption of 125.74 W was 84.83 kWh/kgH2 and the theoretical efficiency of the electrolyzer in separating hydrogen gas from water was 45.97%. Results from the test on a pickup truck using 100% diesel fuel and hydrogen-diesel dual fuel with loads of 1,850 and 2,100 kg over a distance of 11 km showed that using a hydrogen-diesel dual system resulted in fuel savings of 27.8% and 16.70%, as compared to that of using pure diesel fuel system. Besides, levels of black smoke, PM2.5, and PM10 of the hydrogen-diesel dual fuel system were lower than those of the pure diesel fuel system.]]>

<![CDATA[The major issue facing the electrical grid is the excessive use of non-linear loads, which pull distorted (non-sinusoidal) current from the grid. Considering this constraint, the objective is to remove any harmonic currents from the grid. The active filtering method has been selected, particularly focusing on the use of the shunt active filter, which provides numerous benefits. Therefore, in order to achieve effective harmonic compensation, a suitable and resilient control system is necessary for the shunt active filter. The system outlined in this study comprises a photovoltaic generator connected to the distribution electrical grid via a shunt active filter in order to simultaneously ensure the injection of renewable power generated by the photovoltaic generator into the grid and the improvement of the electrical energy quality. In this study, a model predictive current is introduced for shunt active power with fuzzy logic control to optimize the tracking of the maximum power point for the photovoltaic generator. The system was studied under various conditions, and the simulation was carried out using MATLAB/Simulink on the entire system.]]>

<![CDATA[The internet of things (IoT) has become an important foundation in the development of web-based and remote technologies. In the implementation of renewable energy in hybrid E-bike systems, IoT-based monitoring system integration has made a significant contribution to monitoring activities. One of the latest innovations in the development of IoT in E-bike systems is the application of power prediction and the Coulomb counting method to estimate the charging time for a battery with a capacity of 200 AH, so that users can know the time needed to charge the battery efficiently. The IoT E-bike system is designed with user data display and monitoring features via the website, such as data on voltage, current, light intensity, battery percentage, power prediction, and prediction of the resulting battery charging time. Experimental results were obtained during the battery charging period, increasing the battery percentage from 50.43% (10 volts) to 71.769% (11.3 volts) in 4.5 hours with a battery charging charge of 153,866.4 C.]]>

<![CDATA[Renewable energy development is increasingly important to anticipate the limited use of fossil energy and its impact on the environment. The Savonius turbine is a vertical axis turbine that can utilize flow from all directions with simple construction, so it has the potential to be developed as a wind turbine and hydrokinetic to generate electricity. This paper aims to conduct an experimental studied the same Savonius combined blade rotor as a wind turbine used in a wind tunnel and a hydrokinetic turbine in an irrigation channel. The experimental results show that the Savonius turbine can function well as a wind and hydrokinetic turbine. The Savonius combined blade turbine improves the performance of conventional Savonius blade turbines, including its use as a hydrokinetic turbine, which is affected by flow velocity. The performance of the Savonius turbine is indicated by the power coefficient Cp and torque coefficient (Ct) values based on the fluid flow velocity. At the same wind speed (4 m/s), the combined blades can increase the performance Cp by up to 11% compared to conventional blades. The use of the same combined blades tested as a hydrokinetic turbine resulted in an increase in Cp and a decrease in Ct with an increase in tip speed ratio (TSR).]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a dual-axis solar tracker using Arduino and LDRs. The aim of the proposed paper is to enhance the competence of solar energy harvesting by developing an intelligent solar tracking system. This system employs light-dependent resistors (LDRs) as sensors to detect ambient light levels, enabling precise adjustments of solar panels along both azimuth and elevation axes. The Arduino microcontroller serves as the intellect of the system, orchestrating the synchronized movement of dual-axis servo motors to align solar panels optimally with the sun's point during the day. The core functionality of the solar tracker involves real-time monitoring of LDR readings to calculate the solar azimuth and elevation angles. These angles are then used to situation the solar panels dynamically, ensuring they are constantly oriented near the sun for maximum energy absorption. The implementation of the dual-axis solar tracker using Arduino and LDRs offers several advantages, including increased energy output, better system efficiency, and a reduction in dependency on fixed solar installations. The low-cost and adaptable nature of the proposed system makes it suitable for various applications, such as residential solar installations, off-grid power systems.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a new configuration of 400 Hz inverters designed for ground power units (GPU) in the aerospace field. In this model, instead of using rectifiers fed by the AC electric grid, a lithium battery system is employed due to its advantages, especially in improving the flexibility and reliability of the power supply. A model predictive control (MPC) strategy with the extended cost function is proposed for the current loop, which is expected to restrict the DC current avoiding the battery overcurrent that causes the system interrupted by the battery management system (BMS), improving the overall system dynamic. The mathematical relationship between battery current and inductor current has also been derived to support the design of the MPC controller. A proportional resonant (PR) controller is performed for the outer loop to control fundamental voltages, and compensate for the harmonic distortions. A comprehensive simulation model is initially created in the MATLAB environment and subsequently validated through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to assess the performance of the proposed control technique. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme in terms of DC-link battery current being controlled at an acceptable value, high-quality voltage is provided at the output with harmonic distortions compensated by PR controller.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper proposes a control strategy for switched reluctance motors (SRMs) using the asymmetric half-bridge (AHB), shared switch, and Miller converter based on MATLAB/Simulink and TMS320F28379D. The control strategy implemented in this study involves the application of proportional-integral (PI) speed control with a pulse width modulation (PWM) switching method for each topology. By employing this control strategy, the system aims to regulate the speed of the motor and achieve the desired performance while ensuring efficient power utilization. The PI controller is utilized to adjust the motor's speed based on the error between the desired and actual speeds, enabling precise control. Additionally, the PWM switching method is employed to modulate the motor voltage, allowing for smooth and continuous speed adjustments. A thorough method for maximizing each topology's performance and raising the overall system efficiency is provided by this combination of control techniques. The detailed analysis and operation of each converter are presented in this paper. Simulation and experiment results show that AHB and shared switch have better performance than Miller. But the Miller converter needs the least number of switching components. Although the performance of the shared switch is equal to that of AHB, uses of this topology are limited to SRM with an even number of phases.]]>
