<![CDATA[This paper presents an adaptive rule-based approach for dynamic power management in grid-connected microgrids. Solar photovoltaics (PV) and a battery-ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage system form the DC subsystem. Initially, the reference power is processed through a low-pass filter, diverting high-frequency power variations to the ultracapacitor, thereby safeguarding the battery. Then, a power allocation factor proportional to the battery state of charge manages the average power distribution between the battery and the grid. Finally, a microgrid power management system (MPMS) establishes rules to regulate power sharing among sources and loads. In the proposed method, the battery handles long-term energy requirements, the ultracapacitor meets short-term power demands, and the grid is adjusted to align with the system’s requirements. The main benefits involve effective power distribution among sources and loads, DC bus voltage stabilization, smooth transitions between different operating modes, and enhanced grid power quality. Additionally, safety protocols prevent overcharging/deep discharging, thus reducing the risk of premature degradation and resulting in longer lifespan of storage devices. MATLAB/Simulink is used to implement and validate the method.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper discusses the comprehensive design and implementation of a photovoltaic (PV) emulator hardware using a synchronous buck converter. The primary objective is to simulate the electrical characteristics of a real PV module under varying environmental conditions. The process involves detailed simulations carried out using MATLAB/Simulink software to evaluate the performance and accuracy of the emulator model. Various load values were tested to account for the impact of fluctuations in radiation and temperature. The accuracy of the emulator's output characteristics was validated by comparing them with the actual attributes of the SolarWorld Sun-module SW50 PV module. The final step involves constructing the hardware of the PV emulator using electronic components, with an Arduino Nano employed as the controller.]]>

<![CDATA[This study focuses on the technical and cost analysis of an electric hand plow tractor, especially in the East Java region. The manufacturing cost of electric tractors increases significantly in line with the battery capacity. Although the manufacturing cost of an electric tractor is 3–5 times higher than that of a fuel tractor, the operational cost of an electric tractor is about 79% that of a fuel tractor. Based on the investment analysis, it is feasible to assembly electric tractors with a power of 5.5 HP or 4.1 kW using NMC18650 and NMC21700 batteries with an energy capacity of 14 kWh in case for rural residents with access to an electricity network available in their paddy fields. The price of electricity and the unit cost of a battery pack have a large impact on operational costs. The manufacture of electric tractors will be more attractive to get better economic returns when the price of electricity does not increase, and the unit cost of battery packs falls due to the battery technology trend. Nevertheless, certain challenges to the utilization of electric tractors are the farmers' preferences and habits, market demands, the environment, and the regulations of the tractor component manufacturers.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper proposes a modification to the direct torque control (DTC) strategy for induction motors, focusing on improving flux performance at lower speeds. The method employs a sector rotation strategy to address stator flux droop, which occurs in conventional DTC due to the impact of stator resistance at low speed becoming more significant. This constrains the ability of the flux vector to be tangential to the voltage vector in the default sector. Consequently, an improper flux locus leads to distortion of the phase currents which disrupts precise control of torque. The proposed approach dynamically adjusts the sector angle to mitigate flux droop while maintaining the simplicity and original structure of DTC. The new sector rotation strategy is validated through simulations in MATLAB/Simulink to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in reducing stator flux droop. These findings have potential applications in the industrial sector and electric vehicles, where stable motor operation and smoother driving performance at low speeds are crucial for precise control operation.]]>

<![CDATA[The efficiency of control systems in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) is crucial, especially for applications in physiotherapy robots. Previous studies have demonstrated that an open-loop field-oriented control (FOC) driver using BTS7960 outperforms the commonly used electronic speed controller (ESC). This research addresses the challenge of further improving efficiency by employing a closed-loop FOC driver with the BTS7960. The research methodology involves two main stages. First, a PSIM software simulation of a closed-loop FOC using a proportional integral (PI) controller is conducted. The aim is to determine the P and I parameters that result in the smallest settling time, steady-state error, and overshoot in controlling the PMSM motor's rotation per minute (RPM). The second stage involves hardware implementation with the BTS7960, where the PMSM motor RPM is compared under various loads ranging from 10-gram to 60 gram. RPM results from both open-loop and closed-loop configurations are compared. The results show that the closed-loop FOC driver has improved system transient response compared to the previous open-loop FOC driver, notably reducing the settling time from 2.24 seconds to 1.45 seconds for a 60 gram load. Therefore, this research concludes that a closed-loop configuration with well-tuned PI parameters can deliver better performance compared to open-loop methods, as clearly demonstrated.]]>

<![CDATA[A direct current (DC) motor is used for automotive electronic throttle valves (AETV) to adjust incoming air into the engine’s combustion system, which has many advantages such as smooth, fast response, and simplicity. However, high-accuracy tracking control for AETV faces various obstacles because of the nonlinear features, hard identification, and noise. In this paper, a model of the AETV with four states in the form of a state space is developed. Then, a Kalman filter is formulated to eliminate the impact of measurement noise. The Kalman filter gain is obtained via the solve the linear quadratic gaussian (LQG) equation. Next, the optimal control based linear quadratic regulation (LQR) and Kalman filter are presented in which the control gain is constructed by the Riccati equation with the assistance of MATLAB/Simulink software. Finally, simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the suggested method for the AETV system with other control strategies.]]>

<![CDATA[In this work, a battery-integrated three-input converter is proposed. The topology combines a traditional boost converter on one side with a non-coupled inductor-based buffer stage on the other side. Some merits of the converter are a high voltage gain, a high output voltage in the battery discharging mode, and a wide range of output voltage. The bidirectional port makes it attractive for renewable energy (RE) sources like solar and fuel cells. The converter can operate in three modes that are determined by the availability of RE sources and the battery state of charge (SOC). The power management algorithm enabled the converter to work in either single-input, double-input, or three-input configurations. The duty ratios of assigned power switches controlled the output voltage and the battery charge/discharge. Steady-state analyses and dynamic modeling are presented and discussed. At 12 V and 24 V input voltage, the output voltage of 315.52 V was delivered in the battery-excluded mode. The battery discharging mode delivered 311.57 V while the battery charging mode delivered 301.32 V. The proposed converter can serve low to medium power voltage/power applications. The hardware experiments verify the workings of the proposed converter.]]>

<![CDATA[The widespread use of electricity today, which is primarily generated from fossil fuels, results in significant environmental consequences due to excessive consumption. Renewable energy has been proposed as a solution to mitigate this issue. In Indonesia, particularly in Pekanbaru City, the demand for electricity currently exceeds the supply. However, this region has substantial potential for renewable energy sources. This study presents the modeling and analysis of wind energy, specifically wind turbine systems, using MATLAB Simulink. The methodology involves identifying existing problems, collecting technical data relevant to Pekanbaru and turbine components, and designing the turbine system within MATLAB Simulink. The results of this system indicate a mechanical power output of 1,191 watts, along with a calculated torque of 48.63 Nm. These findings suggest that the system is suitable for small-scale electricity needs. Further research and considerations are necessary to optimize the design and application of turbine systems for sustainable energy production. By improving the efficiency and scalability of wind energy systems, Indonesia can better address its energy deficit while reducing the environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel consumption.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents an enhancement to the stability of large PV-integrated grids using an advanced power quality control system. The proposed unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) system control technique combines synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory and modified unit vector template generation (MUVTG), supplemented by an additional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to regulate reactive power flow to the grid. The results indicate a reduction in the total harmonic distortion (THD) levels. The study also demonstrates the system’s stability for different harmonic orders and various cases of voltage sag and swell, in compliance with IEEE standards. The proposed approach effectively addresses power quality issues and achieves a THD of 0.30%, meeting the IEEE-519 standards using MATLAB Simulink.]]>

This research evaluates a hybrid renewable energy system combining photovoltaic (PV) technology and wind turbines to meet the electricity demand of Wahid Hasyim University's Faculty of Engineering, totalling 555,000 VA. Using HOMER Pro software, the study identifies the optimal configuration based on technical, economic, and environmental aspects. The hybrid system integrating PV, wind turbines, batteries, and converters achieves the lowest Net Present Cost (NPC) of $214,877 and a Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of $0.0185/kWh, outperforming grid-only systems. Environmentally, the system significantly reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, from 559,226 kg/yr in conventional systems to 62,452 kg/yr. Solar energy contributes 56% of electricity generation, leveraging stable solar radiation of 4.28–5.54 kWh/m²/day. Additionally, an annual surplus of 156,350 kWh can be sold back to the grid, enhancing operational efficiency. This study demonstrates that hybrid renewable energy systems deliver long-term cost efficiency and significantly mitigate climate impacts. It provides a sustainable energy model for campuses in Indonesia and worldwide, particularly in regions with abundant solar resources.]]>
