Abstract

This study presents a novel multi-constraint and multi-objective optimization based approach that applies genetic algorithms (GAs) for developing high-frequency transformer (HFT) designs for dual active bridge converters (DABs) in solid-state transformers (SSTs). SSTs are increasingly adopted in modern power systems due to their higher efficiency, compact structure, and improved operational reliability when compared with conventional transformers. Developing HFTs for SSTs involves several challenges, particularly the need to balance competing objectives such as improving efficiency, limiting losses, and reducing the area product while satisfying multiple design constraints. To address these challenges, this work applies a constrained multi-objective GA implemented in MATLAB to optimize the design of an HFT for a DAB converter. The methodology allows for the simultaneous optimization of multiple design objectives while taking into consideration restrictions like efficiency, leakage inductance, temperature limits, core winding area, and sizes. Our comparison with particle swarm optimization (PSO) indicates that the GA achieves more consistent convergence and consistently lower total losses. The case studies reinforce this observation, giving compact and high-performance HFT designs tailored for SST applications. The optimization approach provides a reliable and scalable method for developing thermally robust and space-efficient HFTs suitable for next-generation SST platforms and renewable-energy applications.

Abstract

The study proposes an effective optimization technique aimed at reducing power loss and improving energy conversion efficiency in a three-phase electrically linked converter by employing an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller. The control strategy integrates ANFIS with Fourier direct-quadrature (DQ) cycle translation based on the synchronous reference frame theory (SRFT). This combination significantly enhances converter performance by ensuring precise line synchronization, efficient voltage regulation, and effective harmonic suppression, all while delivering faster dynamic responses. The approach also simplifies the control framework and enables independent regulation of reactive and active power, offering greater operational flexibility. Such converters play a critical role in transforming DC or AC power from the grid or renewable sources into compatible electrical energy suitable for distribution. The proposed ANFIS-based DQ frame control method provides an advanced solution for optimizing the operation of electrically interconnected three-phase power converters. The research demonstrates the method’s effectiveness through detailed MATLAB simulations, confirming improved stability, reduced losses, and superior overall system performance.

Abstract

Access to reliable electricity remains a challenge in remote and off-grid areas, where conventional power sources are often unreliable or unavailable. This paper presents the design and development of an internet of things (IoT) system for monitoring and securing a portable solar power station tailored for alternative energy applications. The system, which can be recharged using photovoltaic energy sources, employs a coulomb counting method to accurately estimate the battery's state of charge (SoC) and prevent overcharging and overdischarging. The portable power supply provides stable direct current (DC) outputs (5 V, 12 V, 24 V) and an alternating current (AC) output for various remote area applications, including telecommunications and household use. A dual-relay mechanism is used for battery protection: one relay disconnects charging at 100% SoC and reactivates at 70%, while the other disconnects the load at 20% SoC to avoid deep discharge. IoT connectivity enables real-time monitoring and remote control via smartphone. This development promotes efficient energy management, battery longevity, and improved access to sustainable electricity in underserved regions.

Abstract

This study explores the techno-economic feasibility of integrating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. Through simulation using HOMER Pro software, both standalone PV and PV-grid hybrid configurations were evaluated under real-world EV load profiles. The analysis reveals that the PV-grid hybrid system demonstrates superior economic performance, achieving an annual energy production of 39,214 kWh, a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of $0.3975/kWh, and a return on investment (ROI) of 62.01% over 20 years, despite a payback period exceeding 30 years. Sensitivity analysis confirms that the system remains moderately resilient under a 10% reduction in solar irradiance or a 20% increase in EV demand. The study also compares the standalone PV configuration, which, while suitable for off-grid applications, results in significant energy underutilization. Moreover, the PV-grid model supports surplus electricity sales, enhancing financial viability. These findings provide actionable insights for stakeholders, energy planners, and policymakers aiming to scale EV charging infrastructure sustainably in Indonesia’s urban environments.

Abstract

The efficiency and performance of Archimedes spiral wind turbine (ASWT) are affected by the design and number of turbine blades which can convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy to turn a generator that can produce electricity as much as possible in low wind speed. This study aims to obtain the optimal ASWT design in low wind speed in terms of aerodynamic performance. The method is conducted by numerically computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation on the fixed-opening angle and the blades number variations. The results show that the smallest C_D value is -2.18 at the 65° of opening angle, the largest C_L value at the 45° of opening angle is 0.37, and the largest C_M value is 0.61 at the 65° of opening angle and 4 blades. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Archimedes wind turbine with 4 blades and 65° pitch is the optimal.

Abstract

Power grids today operate under unpredictable and rapidly changing conditions, making reliable stability prediction increasingly important. This study evaluates two hybrid learning frameworks that integrate deep feature transformation with ensemble classification. In the first framework, an autoencoder (AE) is used for feature encoding before classification with extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), while the second applies a TabTransformer (TT) followed by the same classifier. For comparison, conventional ensemble models, including random forest and standalone LightGBM, are also assessed. The models are tested on a large public dataset using stratified cross-validation and standard performance metrics. Results show that the AE-XGBoost hybrid achieves the highest performance, with a test accuracy of 97.73% and an F1-score of 0.98 for both stable and unstable states. LightGBM also performs strongly, offering consistent accuracy (95.8%) and good interpretability. In contrast, TT-XGBoost, despite its architectural novelty, achieves lower accuracy (89.4%) and struggles with unstable states. These findings highlight that model effectiveness depends not only on architectural complexity but also on the synergy between feature transformation and classification. The results provide practical insights for building dependable, confidence-aware predictive systems to support smart grid decision-making.

Abstract

This paper investigates the improvement of low-frequency load control (LFC) by optimizing integral part (PID) control using particle swarm optimization (PSO). Load frequency control is important to ensure energy stability by maintaining the balance between production and consumption. Conventional proportional integral derivative controllers are widely used for this purpose; however, their performance can be further improved through optimization. This work uses particle swarm optimization, a nature-inspired algorithm, to set the parameters of the proportional integral derivative controller. PSO was chosen because it can search for good solution space and find a good agreement between control parameters, thus improving the dynamic and stable response of the system. This article provides a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed approach, including simulation results and comparisons with standard PID controllers. The effectiveness of the optimized PID controllers in reducing the frequency difference and improving the overall efficiency of the power plant under different conditions is demonstrated. This study provides insight into the use of artificial intelligence to improve control parameters in the power grid, providing a promising way to improve the efficiency and reliability of frequency controllers.

Abstract

Severe power system outages can lead to uncontrolled failures and system instability. Intentional controlled islanding is a strategy that deliberately splits the power system into balanced, stand-alone islands to ensure continuous electricity supply until full restoration. However, the execution of islanding may result in certain islands being unbalanced in terms of generation and load. In such cases, load shedding is implemented to achieve balanced stand-alone islands. Nevertheless, load shedding is not the best option as it will result in more users experiencing power disruptions. Therefore, this study explores the integration of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to enhance intentional controlled islanding, with the aim to form balance islands without the need to execute load shedding. This study evaluates the effectiveness of BESS in forming balanced islands and optimizing islanding strategies. The IEEE 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus test systems were used to validate the effectiveness of BESS in enhancing the intentional controlled islanding implementation. The results demonstrated the role of BESS in facilitating intentional controlled islanding, forming stable and balanced island operations without the need for a load shedding scheme. These findings highlight the potential of BESS to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of intentional controlled islanding.

Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) play a crucial role in advancing technology, particularly by enhancing the performance of energy storage in semiconductor applications. The synthesis of NPs with reduced particle size and increased surface area, along with a higher number of active sites, facilitates improved ion diffusion, making them highly suitable for such applications. Various methods have been employed to reduce the size of NPs, depending on factors such as purity and controlled composition. The present study focuses on controlling both the size and composition of cadmium sulfide (CdS) NPs, aiming to achieve a high surface-to-volume ratio. These NPs were synthesized using a hydrothermal method in a high-pressure autoclave. The evaluation of the synthesized inorganic CdS-NPs for technological applications requires experimental validation of their characteristics, including particle size, energy band gap, thermal stability, temperature response, as well as optical and electronic properties. The results obtained using the proposed methods reveal a bandgap of 2.28 eV, a hexagonal wurtzite structure with an average crystallite size of 10.26 nm, reduced effective mass, and an intense absorption peak at a higher wavelength. These characteristics indicate that the synthesized CdS nanoparticles are suitable for various applications, including high-power semiconductors, solar energy harvesting, optoelectronic devices, and materials for energy and electrical engineering.

Abstract

Liquid nitrogen is the most common fluid for cooling superconducting power engineering devices. The dielectric strength of an insulator rod embedded in liquid nitrogen at a pressure of 0.3 MPa was investigated with lightning impulse voltage series of 20 impulses of ±473 kV for gap lengths up to 50 mm between a grounded plane and a high voltage electrode in the shape of a bell. The influence of boiling due to quenching of the superconductor was simulated by heating impulses with a duration of 10.1 s. Before triggering the heater impulse, the liquid nitrogen was in the subcooled state i.e., a pure liquid. Transient bubble generation due to the heater impulse was confirmed by video recording through an observation window of the cryostat. The voltage of 473 kV was kept by a gap length of 18 mm in case of impulses of positive polarity. A gap of 30 mm was necessary in case of negative polarity. Hence, a strong polarity effect was found. Calculated field values based on the experimental results do not exceed limits used for the high voltage design study for a support insulator of a superconducting fault current limiter.
