Abstract

The bat algorithm (BA) has emerged as a promising meta-heuristic approach, demonstrating its efficiency in tackling diverse optimization problems across the areas such as engineering design, issues with economic load dispatch, power and energy systems, image processing, and medicinal applications. Due to its potential to increase grid resilience, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and increase energy efficiency, the incorporation of distributed generation (DG) into contemporary power systems has drawn a lot of interest. This paper presents technique for the optimal allocation of DG units, aiming to address existing challenges and improve the overall performance of the power system. The proposed BA technique combines advanced optimization algorithms with comprehensive power system modelling to identify the optimal locations and capacities for DG installation. Key factors are taken into account to formulate a multi-objective optimization problem that includes minimizing power losses, enhancing voltage stability, and minimizing the environmental impact while considering economic feasibility. The algorithm is applied on standard IEEE 33 and 69 bus systems as test cases and a result has been discussed.

Abstract

In contemporary power systems, power quality (PQ) has become a matter of paramount concern. The challenges associated with PQ extend beyond conventional three-phase systems, encompassing the integration of various distributed generation (DG) sources like renewable energy installations, storage systems, and diverse power generation technologies such as diesel generators and fuel cells. The prevalent adoption of rapid-switching devices within the utility infrastructure has resulted in a surge of harmonics and reactive power disturbances. The increased use of harmonics-producing loads has led to several power quality issues, particularly harmonics. The distortions caused by these power quality issues must adhere to the limits established by international standards. Mitigation of these concerns is critical, and active power filters are a realistic option. However, passive filters have problems such as bulkiness, and resonance with either/both load and utility impedance, and the source impedance affects filtering properties. As a result, active power filters (APF) are designed to address the shortcomings of passive filters. Active power filters (APF) offer several advantages over passive filters, including compact size, enhanced filtering characteristics, dynamic performance, and flexible operation. The control strategy of APF strongly influences the APF performance, efficiency, and reliability. This paper presents a detailed assessment of current active filter control systems, highlighting their key features. The characteristics, performance, applicability, and implementation of various control techniques are explored and investigated.

Abstract

In current article an improved salp swarm algorithm (SSA) has been suggested. Likewise, the adjustable scaling-component is locked in to manage salp’s situation in time of the hunt system to limit arbitrary development salps. The upgraded salp swarm method combines random objection-based learning, multiple management, and simulated hardening in swarm brilliant-based metaheuristic salp swarm method, which rises the exploration and exploitation of the primary salp swarm method. To exhibit viability of the improved SSA, a bunch of multichannel test capabilities are locked in. A partially decentralized combined fuzzy proportional integral derivative (PD-CFPID) regulator is planned for integrated grid. A partially decentralized robust control plan is introduced to deal with a class of multi-inputs multi outputs (MIMO) non-square, linear framework different systems. Partially decentralized command is a control composition that lies between a completely decentralized structure and a wholly centralized one, and has the primacy of achieving comparable performance as an entirely centralized regulator but with simpler shape. The proposed flexible partially decoupled command scheme works in a straightforward and systematic way. Simulations show that the proposed partially decentralized control performs well for the nonlinear system, nearly equivalent to the multivariable control, and they achieve better performance indexes. Simulation outcomes appear that the stated method is simple and can reach better performance. The results of the PD-CFPID regulator are compare among CFPID and PID as many circumstances of the presented control outlook.

Abstract

This paper delves into the critical aspect of managing energy consumption in drone operations to achieve the utmost range and ensure accurate state of charge (SoC) estimation. Effective energy management is pivotal in determining the operational range of drones, allowing for longer distances and heavier payloads. The integration of precise energy estimation algorithms into operational planning extends the range of drones, facilitating swift, environmentally-conscious missions for sustainable and efficient logistics solutions. The paper introduces a mathematical model to understand energy consumption and battery behavior in drones, utilizing the hybrid pulse power characterization test and recursive least square with forgetting factor for parameter identification. To overcome the limitations of linear filters, the paper employs the accurate extended Kalman filter (EKF) in the nonlinear filter section. The EKF significantly enhances the battery management system by furnishing precise SoC data. The study evaluates two SoC estimation techniques: SoC-AH (ampere-hours) and SoC_EKF, using root mean square error for comparison. The SoC_EKF technique demonstrates higher accuracy, boasting a lower errors value of 0.78%, thus making it superior for precise drone battery SoC estimation. These findings contribute to the improved performance, reliability, and overall safety of drones.

Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) system output power greatly depends on environmental operating conditions. Partial shaded condition (PSC) operates PV string under mismatch. PV module mismatch has been one of the major causes for reduced amount of output power. Maximizing the amount of energy extraction from PV system under mismatch greatly influenced by conversion efficiency as well as the mismatch mitigation topology used. Differential power processing (DPP) is one of the advanced techniques to deal with mismatch conditions and enhance power output from a PV system. In this paper hybrid modular DPP topology is presented. The proposed technique mitigates the effect of mismatches at submodule and enhance power extraction from PV string. Since in majority shading on a PV module is nonuniform. The conversion efficiency of module level DPP shading mitigation techniques enhanced using submodule level DPP architecture. To demonstrate its applicability simulation study is carried out in MATLAB Simulink and results are compared with traditional bypass method and module level DPP. Simulation results showed the reduction in mismatch loss and improvement in efficiency and power output.

Abstract

The shortage of traditional fossil fuels like coal, petrol and natural-gas are increased day-by-day, fulfills the most of energy demand. Most of engineers are trying to maximize the energy demand by employing renewable energy with existing micro-grid system. Owing to merits, the solar-PV system plays a significant alternative among all other renewable energy sources due to abundant and virtuous nature. For grid-tied solar-PV system, the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter is the most significant over the classical 2-level inverter due to provision of isolated input DC sources. But the cascaded H-bridge topology is designed for limited voltage levels due to its larger number of switches for higher voltage levels, high cost, large-size, and more weight. To alleviate these demerits, a reduced-switch multilevel inverter has been generally preferable for higher voltage levels. In this work, a novel 9-level reduced-switch multilevel inverter (RSMLI) topology has been proposed by utilizing low number of switching devices. The performance of proposed novel 9-level RSMLI topology has been verified in grid-tied solar-PV system by using MATLAB/Simulink tool, simulation results are presented with attractive comparisons.

Abstract

Hybrid smart grids which depend on renewable energy have substantial challenges to their reliability and efficiency due to power quality issues. However, the performance and dependability of the system might be impacted by power quality concerns caused by the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources and the presence of nonlinear and unbalanced loads. This study suggests that a hybrid renewable energy-based smart grid can improve power quality by using a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), a flexible alternating current transmission system device. The goal is to improve voltage stability, reduce voltage spikes and harmonic distortion, and provide a clean power supply. This study's primary contributions are the design and execution of the cascaded H-bridge DVR topology, the development of a modified synchronous reference frame-based controller and a thorough examination of the performance of the integrated DVR system. Total harmonic distortion and voltage regulation are two power quality metrics used to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested technique in MATLAB simulations.

Abstract

To compensate for the reactive power, inverter-based conditioners have been utilized in recent years due to their faster response. Distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) has been utilized to enhance power quality in power system that is an inverter-based device that is widely utilized. To control this type of equipment, a proportional integrated (PI) controller has been utilized to control most of the equipment with respect to certain parameters. The performance of the controller basically does not meet the expectations because of the dynamics and nonlinearity of a system parameters. In this present paper, a probabilistic neural network has been used in a controller with a fully informed particle swarm optimization (FIPSO) algorithm to generate a suitable weight for controlling the axes of various parameters of DSTATCOMs. Using MATLAB/Simulink software, simulations were performed, and the responses were monitored with particular regard to the reference reactive parameter. The results are compared. DSTATCOM improves power system damping.

Abstract

For use in solar-assisted hybrid electric vehicle applications, a multiport bidirectional switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is suggested in this research. Since the photovoltaic (PV) system's output voltage is low and insufficient to reach the necessary voltage level, a high gain KY converter is used to increase the PV output. The 8/6 SRM receives the steady converter output via the (n+1) diode (n+1) converter architecture with the help of the proportional integral (PI) controller. A PI controller regulates the SRM's speed. A bidirectional battery converter connects the battery, which is attached to the DC bus, to the extra power from the PV. A PI controller manages the bidirectional battery converter's operations. When necessary, the battery transfers the excess energy from the PV to the SRM drive. The outcomes demonstrate that, when examined using MATLAB simulation, the recommended methodology functions well.
