This paper proposes a converter connecting two independent AC and DC microgrids in a flexible microgrid and smart grid system. With this converter, basic DC/DC converter types such as Flyback are used to develop the power circuit and controller for the converter that is capable of integrating the operating functions for the operation between microgrids. The converter uses bidirectional switching locking technology to simplify the control algorithm. The energy is converted in two directions, AC/DC and DC/AC, with different working principles of increasing and decreasing voltage according to the standards of the distribution grid and DC microgrid. The TDH value is significantly limited when using the recovery circuit solution. The converter is designed, simulated based on OrCAD software, and tested with a capacity in the range of 2-10 kW. The DC microgrid output voltage is 400 VDC, voltage is 220 VAC.

A significant obstacle to preserving grid stability and incorporating renewable energy into smart grids is variations in solar irradiation. To improve solar power management's dependability, this research proposes a short-term solar forecasting framework powered by AI. Multiple machine learning models, such as long short-term memory (LSTM), random forest (RF), gradient boosting (GB), AdaBoost, neural networks (NN), K-Nearest neighbor (KNN), and linear regression (LR), are integrated into the suggested system, which also uses principal component analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction. The Abiod Sid Cheikh station in Algeria (2019-2021) provided real-world data for the model's validation. With a two-hour-ahead RMSE of 0.557 kW/m², AdaBoost had the most accuracy, whereas LR had the lowest, at 0.510 kW/m². In addition to increasing computing efficiency, PCA preserved 99.3% of the data volatility. In addition to increasing computing efficiency, PCA preserved 99.3% of the data volatility. These findings highlight the efficiency of hybrid AI models based on PCA for accurate forecasting, which is crucial for smart grid stability.

The modern high-speed rail system plays a crucial role in driving the nation’s economic development. The problem of voltage imbalance caused by intermittent load movements is a significant challenge for energy management and distribution. When electric trains are connected to the three-phase grid, power quality degradation occurs, resulting in distortion and imbalance of the three-phase grid current and voltage, which in turn increases operating costs. This paper has proposed a linear control method using a PI controller for a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to directly control the amount of reactive power loss for electric trains. This solution will also bring good and stable voltage quality to electric trains so that electric trains can operate for a long time. The STATCOM device in this paper is a three-phase voltage source converter with a simple structure and can be easily controlled. This is considered a simple and effective solution to balance voltage, improve power factor, and enhance harmonic quality for railway trains, thereby achieving an optimal operating solution. This discussion can be simulated using MATLAB/Simulink software to determine the operation and control steps for STATCOM, thereby improving the quality of the power system. The simulation results of current, voltage, and reactive power response are presented. The simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed algorithm successfully achieves the set goals of ensuring voltage stability and providing the necessary amount of reactive power for the train, thereby improving the quality of the power grid for the North-South high-speed train in Vietnam.

Thermal modeling of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for optimizing their performance and reliability in applications such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems. This study introduces a novel thermal modeling framework to predict internal battery temperature as a function of current and ambient temperature. Three advanced methodologies, NN-LM, NN-BR, and GPM, were evaluated using drive cycle data across temperatures that vary from -20 °C to 25 °C. Among these, Gaussian process modeling (GPM) demonstrated the highest accuracy with an RMSE of 0.034%, while NN LM achieved an RMSE of 0.083%, offering a computationally efficient alternative suitable for real-time applications. The developed thermal model establishes a foundation for future research aimed at predicting battery capacity by incorporating the effects of internal temperature. Furthermore, accurate monitoring of internal temperature is critical for preventing thermal runaway by enabling early detection of unsafe thermal conditions. This work establishes a robust foundation for future research, aiming to develop real-time capacity prediction models, ultimately enhancing battery management systems under diverse operating conditions.
