This paper introduces the composite least mean fourth control algorithm (CLMF) with a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) to address power quality problems linked to voltage at the source side and supply clean voltage to the distribution network's sensitive loads. The performance of the two least mean fourth adaptive filters combined convexly by this control technique is better than that of the filters working independently. When comparing the suggested control to conventional synchronous reference frame-based vector control, phase-locked loops, abc to dq transformations, and dq to abc transformations are all practically eliminated. When compared to standard least mean square (LMS) and least mean fourth (LMF) control approaches, the proposed CLMF's features—simple computation, ease of implementation, reduced settling time, and increased reliability—show that the suggested controller is more efficient. The proposed CLMF controller excels in terms of rise time, 0.082 sec., and less settling time, 0.092 sec., respectively, with a peak overshoot of 2.33% compared with the aforementioned control algorithms. Different voltage-related PQ issues have been corrected successfully by the proposed CLMF. Through simulation using MATLAB/Simulink, system performance has been verified.

Among the issues that solar systems face is partial shadowing that can be caused by many factors, such as trees, buildings, or clouds. A shaded module will produce less energy, which reduces the power supplied by a solar system based on PV panels. The purpose of this study is to model and simulate photovoltaic modules based on an ideal single and double diode. After that, we will simulate five configurations formed by nine photovoltaic solar panels: series (S), parallel (P), series-parallel (SP), bridge-link (BL), and total-cross-tied (TCT) under uniform and non-uniform cases (center, diagonal, and frame). These five PV solar configurations are compared in terms of short circuit currents (ISC), open circuit voltages (VOC), peak powers (PMP), the voltage and current values corresponding to maximum power (VMP, IMP), mismatch power loss (MPL), fill factor (FF), efficiency ratio (ER), and overall maximum power (OMP). The six PV configurations are simulated, considering the parameters of the STM6-40/36 PV module.

By identifying the aspects of manual inspection methods in the context of industrial production, which are described within the undertaken research, the development of an automated visual inspection technology is driven. This causes more time to be spent on performing the checks, thus adding to the labor cost. The efficiency of the operations is reduced, and there is a tendency for errors due to fatigue in checking 24/7. The proposed solution for a new product is designed to change the approach of the existing manufacturing process by using the automated system to self-inspect the surface and notify of its defects during manufacturing. As an enhancing advancement, this new development aims to address apprehensions pertaining to manual examination as the world transitions into the fault tolerant period. Lastly, this approach fits the universal grail of further developing industrial capacities, with the resulting thought process extending to the incorporation of technologies such as quantum computing with the current requirements of manufacturing. Other potential applications of this approach, including aerospace applications of ultrasonic testing or thermography in the detection of surface cracks, might also help improve this approach in the future.

The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept has gained significant attention in the last decade due to its potential to enhance direct current (DC) microgrid stability and reliability. Electric vehicles (EVs) play a central role in distributed energy storage systems, optimizing efficiency and enabling the integration of renewable energy sources. This study offers a unique three level CLLC resonant converter developed for off-board EV chargers to promote bidirectional power transfer between DC microgrids and EVs. The suggested converter uses resonant CLLC components and two three-level full bridges to effectively handle a broad range of EV battery voltages (200 V–700 V). To ensure effective power conversion, the first harmonic approximation (FHA) model is used to analyse the converter's resonant frequency characteristics. The proposed system achieves high efficiency (>95%), with voltage stability maintained at 750 V under various load conditions. The converter's performance was validated through MATLAB based simulations, comparing proportional integral (PI) and proportional integral derivative (PID) control strategies. The PID-controlled system demonstrated superior dynamic response, reduced current ripples, and enhanced voltage regulation compared to the PI-controlled system. This study demonstrates the viability of implementing a three-level CLLC resonant converter for efficient, bidirectional, and wide-voltage adaptation in EV charging infrastructure, thereby contributing to grid stability and renewable energy integration.

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources (RES) is accelerating the shift from traditional synchronous machine-based power systems to inverter-dominated grids. This transition poses significant frequency stability challenges, as power electronic interfaces lack the inherent kinetic energy storage of conventional generators, resulting in low system inertia. To address these challenges, this study proposes an adaptive virtual inertia control system based on fuzzy logic, which offers notable advancements in frequency dynamics. The proposed controller dynamically adjusts the virtual inertia constant in real-time by leveraging inputs such as frequency and the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF). This adaptive approach overcomes the limitations of fixed inertia systems, ensuring improved frequency stability and superior transient performance during load disturbances. Simulation results validate the system's effectiveness, showing reduced frequency overshoots, minimized deviations, and faster recovery to nominal frequency compared to conventional fixed inertia methods. By rapidly damping oscillations and enhancing transient stability, the proposed system significantly outperforms traditional techniques. Moreover, the study reviews current virtual inertia strategies, control topologies, and explores future research directions for integrating advanced virtual inertia into modern grids. These findings demonstrate the robustness of fuzzy logic based adaptive inertia for stabilizing low-inertia microgrids with high RES penetration.

Because of its sturdy design, affordability, and convenience of use, the three phase induction motor is a common kind of electric motor, especially in the industrial sector. This motor design is still being improved to make it work better. For example, permanent magnets are being added to the rotor, control systems are getting better, the number of phases is being increased, and motor winding designs are developing. Nevertheless, the creation of the motor winding design is the least expensive aspect of all these endeavors. By creating a nine-phase winding configuration with a three-layer design in the motor, this study aims to enhance the performance of a three-phase induction motor. This study examined output power, speed, mechanical torque, and motor efficiency in a 3-phase system operation. The study's results indicated that the new design motor worked better, with higher output power (4.27%), rotor speed (0.61%), and mechanical torque (3.47%), despite a minor reduction in efficiency relative to conventional 3-phase induction motors (-0.24%).

High voltage direct current (HVDC) on transmission-link becomes a new prominent technology in recent years. The HVDC is applied to transmit amount of electrical energy from power plant to consumers. This method makes reactive power losses on transmission devices decrease significantly and stability level of generator increases. However, inverter HVDC transmission system can produce slow and high inverter transient current (ITC) response at high value of the up-ramp rate. This ITC phenomenon can be serious problem at starting time. So grey wolf algorithm is proposed to optimize input-output parameters of interval type-2 fuzzy control (IT2FC) in inverter-side HVDC. The proposed control performance’s is assessed by integral time squared error (ITSE) and peak overshoot (Mp) approaches. Simulation results show that small ITSE and low Mp of transient response are given by the IT2FC. The IT2FC is successful applied on inverter HVDC with better results compared to conventional PI control scheme.

Direct torque control (DTC) for induction motor (IM) drive systems is recognized as a powerful control method known for its fast response and simple structure. However, this control method often suffers from several limitations, such as significant torque and current ripple, and sensitivity to variations in motor parameters. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel sliding mode control strategy for the outer speed loop to improve the quality of DTC-based IM drive systems. Unlike previous approaches, we propose a novel adaptive parameter higher-order sliding mode (HOSM) controller for IM speed control. This approach enhances the drive system's performance by reducing torque ripple (a common issue in DTC), improving dynamic response, eliminating overshoot during transients, and increasing overall system stability. To ensure system stability, Lyapunov stability theory is used to design the control signals. The efficiency of the control law proposed in this paper is evaluated based on simulations performed on MATLAB-Simulink. The results obtained demonstrate that: First, the proposed control model for fast torque and speed responses, ensuring the drive system converges to the desired operating point during transients without encountering the phenomenon of exceeding the threshold. Second, the system maintains stable operation, even in the presence of load disturbances. Third, this method significantly reduces torque ripple, a common problem in IM drive systems using DTC techniques.

In order to enhance the reliability and economic feasibility of power systems, this research presents a hybrid control method for the optimal design of hybrid renewable energy sources (RES), including fuel cells, solar photovoltaic (PV), and wind power. Optimization of the power system to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime is achieved using the side blotched lizard optimization with multi-objective artificial tree algorithm (SBL MAT). The research intends to reduce costs in wind, PV, and FC scenarios and make it reliable for load delivery at a low cost and high level of dependability. While a mathematical model of SBL behavior demonstrates the need to discover and implement global optimizing approaches, the MAT algorithm resolves the supervised classification challenge. Possible benefits of the proposed technology include increased reliability and decreased maintenance costs for electrical systems. The proposed approach enables cost-effective and reliable load generation from PV, wind, and fuel cell systems, regardless of the volatility of the weather. Using MATLAB/Simulink, the assessment of parameters like recall, specificity, accuracy and precision is carried out and the results were 99.91%, 99.85%, 99.65%, and 99.325%, respectively. The parameters loss of load expectation (LOLE) and loss of energy expectation (LOEE) are calculated for analysis using both current and future technology.
