<![CDATA[This paper presents an extremely high step-up DC-DC converter using a quadratic topology and a coupled inductor (CI). The proposed converter (PC) utilizes a single switch, simplifying the control strategy and reducing switching losses. A passive clamp circuit recycles leakage energy, reducing voltage stress (VS) on the MOSFET and enabling the implementation of a low on-state resistance switch for higher efficiency. Additionally, the quadratic structure and passive clamp circuit contribute to higher voltage gain (VG) and better performance. The converter’s operating principles, steady-state analysis, and component selection criteria are discussed in detail. The influence of magnetizing inductance, duty cycle, and parasitic components on the VG is also investigated, along with the system’s dynamic response under input voltage and load variations to ensure stable operation. A comparative evaluation with existing converters highlights its advantages. The PC is verified through SIMPLIS simulations, where key performance metrics such as VG and switching stress are analyzed. Furthermore, a hardware prototype with a power rating of 300 W is built to confirm the theory and showcase the converter’s performance. Experimental results demonstrate high efficiency, stable operation, and substantial VG, validating the converter’s feasibility for renewable energy systems (RES).]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents an enhanced electromagnetic modeling and optimization study on the effects of angular misalignment in resonant inductive wireless power transfer (RIWPT) systems for electric vehicle (EV) charging. A detailed 3D model of a double-layer circular coil was developed in CST Studio Suite to investigate coupling degradation, energy loss, and efficiency behavior under angular deviations ranging from 0° to 25°, at a fixed air gap of 30 mm. Performance metrics including mutual inductance, magnetic field distribution, power transfer efficiency (PTE), and loss characteristics were analyzed to establish quantitative misalignment correlations. Results indicate a steady reduction in PTE from 99.979% at 0° to 88.441% at 25°, accompanied by corresponding increases in field asymmetry and energy dissipation. To mitigate these losses, an impedance-tuning strategy was applied by jointly optimizing transmitter-side series and parallel compensation capacitors, which improved PTE at 5° misalignment from 98.777% to 99.801%, restoring near-resonant operation. Additional analyses evaluated thermal impact, material robustness, and dynamic misalignment effects, providing a more holistic understanding of real-world charging scenarios. The study further discusses real-time tuning feasibility using embedded controllers and aligns performance with SAE J2954 and IEC standards for EV wireless charging. The findings establish validated design guidelines and adaptive tuning frameworks for achieving high-efficiency, misalignment-tolerant RIWPT systems, contributing toward robust and energy-efficient EV charging infrastructure.]]>

<![CDATA[One of the basic tasks of the dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is to maintain voltage stability in distribution systems by correcting any deviations or disturbances in the three-phase supply. Whether they are increases or decreases. However, one of its disadvantages is its power source, as it cannot supply itself with power from the electrical grid like parallel compensators, which obtain power directly from the grid. This article presents an energy study of a dynamic voltage regulator (DVR) when operated using a power source represented by fuel cells, which are considered a clean and renewable source. On the other hand, excess energy from the regenerator or fuel cells can be output and injected into the distribution network for utilization via a parallel compensator (CP). The parallel compensator also compensates for reactive energy on the reactive load side to increase the power factor measured at the source side of the distribution system. This integrated system also uses neural networks to identify voltage disturbances and determine the voltages (modules/arguments) that must be added to the voltages in the power grid for correction. This analytical study was completed using a simulation system to confirm the effectiveness of this integrated system. The distinctive feature of this study is the integration of fuel cells and neural network-based control in the DVR system, providing a sustainable and intelligent alternative to conventional configurations, which makes it different from traditional DVRs that operate with batteries and supercapacitors. Its efficiency in compensating for voltage drops and surges is evident, and it also improves the power factor and ensures reliable operation of voltage-sensitive devices.]]>

<![CDATA[Finite control set-predictive torque control (FCS-PTC) has emerged as a popular control method for induction motors (IMs) over the past decade. This paper provides a detailed hardware implementation of FCS-PTC with a constant weighting factor (WF) on 186 W of IM. The FCS-PTC is implemented using the DS1104 controller board programmed using C code. A comprehensive analysis of flux, torque, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the stator current is conducted and presented to establish a relationship between the WF and drive performance. The experimental results indicate that a higher WF results in improved performance in flux and THD current, but a poorer torque response. Conversely, a lower WF improves torque performance but sacrifices the flux and THD current. The analysis outcome will hopefully provide some guidelines for developing the WF selection techniques.]]>

<![CDATA[Cold storage plays a crucial role in preserving temperature-sensitive products, particularly in the fisheries and food sectors. However, its operation is highly energy-intensive and often constrained by unstable electricity supply in many Indonesian regions. This study quantitatively evaluates a hybrid renewable energy system integrating photovoltaic (PV) panels, diesel generators, batteries, and the utility grid to ensure sustainable cold storage operations. Using measured load profiles, solar irradiation data, and annual operating costs, the system achieved a 60% reduction in diesel fuel consumption, 30-50% lower CO₂ emissions, and annual savings exceeding IDR 100 million compared to conventional generator-based systems. The system demonstrated 83.5% overall efficiency, with a payback period of 4.4 years and a positive net present value (NPV), confirming its economic viability. The novelty of this research lies in presenting the first comprehensive techno-economic analysis of a PV-diesel-battery-grid hybrid system specifically designed for fisheries-based cold storage facilities in Indonesia, considering local solar potential and grid reliability. Despite its feasibility, implementation challenges remain, including a lack of skilled technicians, limited financial incentives, and bureaucratic constraints. To overcome this, the study recommends PV subsidies, low-interest green loans, and public–private partnerships aligned with Indonesia's energy transition roadmap and cold chain development goals.]]>

<![CDATA[This study introduces a photovoltaic (PV) emulator focusing on a developed numerical model specifically for half-cut cell PV panels under partial shading conditions (PSCs), addressing a gap in research focused on full-cell models. The emulator uses a DC-DC buck converter and PI control to accurately replicate half-cut cell PV panel characteristics. A cost-effective hardware prototype validated the model's effectiveness in emulating multi-peak PV behavior under dynamic PSCs with up to three peaks and user-defined shading. This flexible and affordable platform enables efficient testing of MPPT algorithms and grid integration for PV systems using increasingly prevalent half-cut cell technology. Simulation results show high accuracy, with MAPE in power as low as 0.175% under uniform irradiance conditions and less than 0.302% under multi-peaks PSCs. Hardware validation confirms reliability with low MAPE in the power of 0.499% under uniform conditions and below 0.614% multi-peak PSCs, demonstrating the developed half-cut cell PV panel numerical model's accuracy in reproducing dynamic shading effects for renewable energy research.]]>

<![CDATA[Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining global prominence due to their high efficiency, low noise, and minimal carbon emissions. A critical aspect of EV performance lies in the interaction between energy storage systems (ESS) and power converters. Nonetheless, power delivery from storage units tends to be unreliable and needs strong converter units for effective and stable energy transmission. Several forms of direct current-to-direct current conversion systems used in electric vehicles are thoroughly examined in the paper, including both isolated and non-isolated designs such as those with the cuk, flyback, and push-pull architectures. The paper looks at converter categorization, control methods such as proportional-integral and artificial neural networks, as well as the method of modulation using unipolar and bipolar sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (PWM). Additionally, the role of optimization algorithms in improving converter performance is explored. Simulations were conducted using MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate each topology under varying load and input voltage conditions. The results demonstrate that the Push-Pull converter has the best efficiency for high-power applications, while the Cuk and Flyback converters are best for applications requiring continuous current and low-power, compact designs, respectively. This research offers insights for choosing optimal converter structures to improve energy efficiency and reliability of systems in electric vehicles.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper proposes a D-STATCOM structure based on a modular multilevel converter (MMC) with the use of FCS-MPC control method for the purpose of compensating reactive power and stabilizing voltage in the distribution grid. The D-STATCOM is effectively used in cases involving non-sinusoidal and unstable voltages, which often occur in the distribution grid due to the effects of unbalanced nonlinear loads and power injection from renewable energy systems. The proposed structure also has the capability of reactive power compensating flexibility in fault conditions to stabilize the grid voltage. In this paper, a new control strategy, which is based on the combination of an outer PI controller and an inner FCS-MPC controller, was introduced. The outer PI controller is used to reduce static deviations in control values and to provide a reference value for the FCS-MPC controller. The inner FCS-MPC controller calculates the optimal switching state for the purpose of reducing the switching frequency of the MMC. The implementation process begins with the construction of a mathematical model and a control model. Simulations were carried out by MATLAB/Simulink to demonstrate the responsiveness of the control algorithm and the performance of D-STATCOM under the conditions of non-sinusoidal and unstable voltages.]]>

<![CDATA[A new conceptual series-parallel plug-in hybrid vehicle for water transportation, known as the plug-in hybrid electric Payang Water Taxi (PHEPWT), is designed to improve vehicle fuel economy and significantly lower boat emissions. This article aims to analyze the fuel economy and emissions of PHEPWT, which are Hydrocarbons (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), with 6 driving cycles including Pulau Warisan river route, Kuala Terengganu river route, Kampung Laut river route, Seberang Takir river route, Pulau Kapas river route, and Tasik Kenyir river route. The analysis of the PHEPWT model will be compared with the existing powertrain architectures using water drive cycles by using the advanced vehicle simulator (ADVISOR). The results will be expected based on the fuel economy and emissions analysis that will show about 30-50% improvement in driving cycle for each driving cycle, and the fuel economy of the PHEPWT will indicate about 15-20% higher than that of the ADVISOR model. Also, for emission, the PHEPWT and ADVISOR models are based on the result of three-type emission such as HC, CO, and NOx, and show that the PHEPWT model has a lower emission compared to the ADVISOR model.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper presents a novel hybrid control strategy that integrates a proportional-integral (PI) regulator with an adaptive super-twisting sliding mode controller (ASTA) defined on a nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC) surface for high-performance induction motor drives (IMDs). This enhanced hybrid PI-ASTA-NTSMC architecture jointly exploits the steady-state accuracy of PI control and the finite-time robustness of a higher-order sliding mode formulation. The adaptive mechanism of the super-twisting algorithm dynamically adjusts the switching gains according to the instantaneous sliding variable, ensuring consistent performance under time-varying loads and parameter variations. The NTSMC surface guarantees singularity-free finite-time convergence, while the adaptive ASTA law suppresses chattering and enhances disturbance rejection. Simulation results across multiple operating conditions show that the proposed controller significantly outperforms PI and PI-FOSMC schemes. It achieves the fastest transient, reducing settling time to 0.0407 s (39.4% and 31.5% faster than PI and PI-FOSMC), with overshoot lowered to 0.0091 rad/s and ISE/IAE minimized to 0.0035 and 0.0256, confirming its superior tracking precision. Additionally, reductions in the speed and torque RMSE indicate smoother control effort and improved closed-loop performance. The Lyapunov-based analysis confirms global finite-time stability of the overall system. With its enhanced robustness, low sensitivity to sampling noise, and continuous higher-order sliding structure that suppresses chattering, the proposed hybrid PI–ASTA–NTSMC offers a computationally efficient and practically attractive solution for integrated speed–flux control in industrial IM drives.]]>
