<![CDATA[This paper presents a novel approach that integrates an advanced PLL with an ANFIS-optimized PI DVR controller, effectively mitigating voltage sags, swells, and harmonics in accordance with the IEEE 519 (2014b) guidelines for power quality in specialized application systems. The designed hybrid DVR controllers are tested using the hardware-in-the-loop OPAL-RT 4200 real-time simulator powered by an FPGA Kintex unit using the RT-LAB platform. The testing encompasses various loading conditions, including both nominal (100%) and increased (110%) loads. Under nominal loading conditions, the PLL-ANFIS optimized PI DVR controller is able to maintain power quality within acceptable limits. However, when the loading is increased to 110%, controllers based on the PLL-ANFIS optimized PI DVR method fail to meet the required standards. In contrast, the CDSC PLL-ANFIS optimized PI and MDSC PLL-ANFIS-optimized PI controllers perform better, successfully meeting the required limits. However, this achievement comes with a higher computational load and increased costs compared to alternative methods. Given the higher accuracy required to meet the IEEE 519 (2014a) guidelines for specialized applications, these trade-offs are considered acceptable, especially for critical and sensitive applications like healthcare facilities, semiconductor manufacturing plants, and pharmaceutical industries, where maintaining high power quality is crucial.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper proposes a single-phase photovoltaic (PV) multi-array single DC bus seventeen-level cascaded switched capacitor multi-level inverter (CSC-MLI). Two boost converters are employed to extract maximum power, one for each PV string, and the output of each boost converter is connected to a single DC bus collector. A new 17-level CSC-MLI topology has been proposed to produce seventeen output voltage levels with a boosting ability of 2 times and the capability of limiting the capacitors' inrush current during the capacitors' charging mode. The topology offers a lower total standing voltage (TSV) of 16.5 as well as utilizes a lower number of components compared to conventional inverters. A total harmonic distortion (THD) of only 8.12% is present in the output voltage waveform, which yields a high-quality injected grid current through a simple filter with a THD of 1.18%. This design utilizes the switched-capacitor technique and has a self-voltage balancing feature. A novel hybrid-PWM technique has been implemented on CSC-MLI with a switching frequency of 2.5 kHz. The topology of the 3 kW single-phase 17-level inverter demonstrated commendable steady-state and dynamic performance across a range of test conditions by using MATLAB/Simulink software.]]>

<![CDATA[The integration of photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy systems is becoming in creasingly significant in the modern energy sector. Among various technologies, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind power systems are extensively utilized due to their superior power control capabilities. Conventional control strategies, such as proportional-integral (PI) controllers, are commonly implemented to stabilize system waveforms. However, recent advancements highlight the potential for improved oscillation damping through optimized controller designs. This paper introduces an optimal fractional-order proportional integral-derivative (FOPID) controller integrated with a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) to enhance power system stability. The proposed approach incorporates the dynamic characteristics of a wind energy conversion system (WECS) connected to an infinite grid. A detailed WECS model is developed to assess the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller in mitigating power oscillations, particularly under varying wind conditions. The proposed FOPID controller offers enhanced flexibility for parameter tuning, enabling precise damping of power oscillations, and presents a significant advancement over traditional wind turbine systems based on permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM).]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a vehicle-mounted vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) designed to generate power in motion and at cut-off locations. Particularly, its application to military vehicles is explored to provide uninterrupted electrical power for radio communication equipment and lighting needs in remote areas. The design uses a helical wind turbine for its compactness, lightweight, and suitability for vehicle mounting without heavy support structures. These turbines have low starting wind speeds, minimal vibration, portability, affordability, and low maintenance requirements. Utilizing fiberglass blades, the turbine unit measures 103 mm in height and 27.5 mm in diameter, achieving optimal rpm and torque for given wind speeds. Operating within the wind speed range of 10 km/h to 40 km/h, the VAWT produces an output voltage ranging from 5 V to 55 V, with a maximum wind turbine power output of 1120 watts at a wind speed of 12 m/s. The final generator output power obtained with the above wind turbine output of 1120 watts is 352 watts. A prototype unit has been tested and mounted on an all-terrain vehicle for evaluation. The paper provides detailed design steps, calculations, and insights for optimizing performance and facilitating large-scale implementation in the future.]]>

<![CDATA[This article proposes a novel single-stage double-sided LCC (DS-LCC) constant power (CP) wireless battery charger. The proposed CP charger uses a closedloop control in the secondary side with the active rectifier to make the DS-LCC charger achieve CP charging and optimal efficiency. Compared to previous work, the proposed CP wireless power transfer system does not involve any switch-controlled capacitor (SCC), does not require wireless communication, and can achieve optimal efficiency throughout the charging process. The proposed charger reduces cost and system complexity while improving efficiency. The proposed wireless charger is validated by simulation, and the efficiency remains between 94.44% and 94.52%, surpassing the previous work.]]>

<![CDATA[This article concentrates on the development of the IC layout for the driving switches of the inverter with improved switching control. This work uses the improved non-carrier switching pattern algorithms to have precise control of inverter switches with twin objectives of i) reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD)% and ii) developing a dedicated system on chip for the improved switching control of the 35-level switched ladder multi-level inverter. The DC voltage of the inputs to the inverter is designated based on the LUO progression, which consists of an improved mathematical formula for deriving its values. Conventionally, the multi-level inverter circuits are driven by the pulse width modulation signals by overlapping the modulating sine wave with different levels of triangle waves, such as phase disposition, phase opposite disposition, and alternate phase opposite disposition, utilized to drive various voltage source inverter topologies. Although the MLI design concentrates on minimal THD%, factors like accuracy, minimum number of switches, and cost demands for advanced switching strategy algorithms. This paper compares the improved switching angle method to the existing algorithm by considering VPEAK, VRMS, and %THD for the 35-level LUO progression-based switched ladder inverter. The IC layout for the improved switching control is developed using the hardware description language code in the Cadence tool and validated by cross-compiling in Simulink MATLAB.]]>

<![CDATA[The liberalization of the energy market has led to a surge in unforeseen power exchanges, which could jeopardize the security of the power system by overloading transmission lines. Flexible AC transmission system devices (FACTSDEV) has been developed in order to improve voltage profiles, reduce losses, and solve power system instability. However, because FACTSDEV devices have such high initial costs, careful planning and ideal placement are essential to maximizing their benefits. This paper proposes a genetic algorithm-based approach to arrange multiple FACTSDEV devices in a power system optimally under N-1 contingency conditions. The IEEE standard (IEEESTD) 14 bus network is where FACTSEDV are located using this optimization technique. The study makes use of MATLAB simulations to evaluate how different FACTSDEV and their placements affect the performance of the power system. The results of the generator and line outage simulations show how FACTDEV have an impact on generation costs, system loss components, and line loss reduction. The cost-optimized placement findings for FACTSDEVs in the IEEESTD 14 bus system are satisfactory and show an improvement in generation cost and system loss component with appropriate positioning and sizing of FACTDEVs.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores the implementation of a five-level cascaded three-phase four-wire inverter as an active power filter to mitigate harmonics in power grids. Harmonic components in the load current are transformed and filtered to create a reference current, which serves as the foundation for designing the inverter’s switching pattern. The predicted current, generated through circuit modeling, is compared with the reference current using the model predictive control (MPC) method. The accuracy of this approach is evaluated using a cost function that measures the difference between the predicted and reference currents. Simulation results reveal that the application of the hybrid power filter can effectively suppress harmonics, reducing the total harmonic distortion (THD) to below 5%, thereby meeting power quality standards. Furthermore, it addresses load imbalances, ensuring that the phase currents at the source remain nearly equal. Additionally, the hybrid power filter significantly decreases the neutral current, reducing it to just one-tenth of its original value. While MPC has demonstrated its effectiveness in controlling power converters and multilevel inverters, its application to active power filters remains underexplored. This study investigates the potential of a four-legged multilevel inverter with MPC to enhance power quality by reducing harmonics in three-phase four wire systems.]]>
