Abstract

This study aims to analyze the insulation resistance value of a 555 WP monocrystalline solar module under the influence of solar irradiation through outdoor testing and insulation assessment. The primary focus is to understand the impact of solar exposure on insulation durability, a crucial factor in the long-term performance and safety of solar modules. The testing method follows the SNI/IEC 61215 standard, involving initial and final measurements using a calibrated insulation tester at the Energy Conversion Laboratory, BRIN. The results indicate a 19.54% degradation in insulation resistance after 15 days of solar exposure. Despite this decline, the module still meets the IEC 61215 criteria for insulation resistance, maintaining a resistance value above 40 MΩ for a module with a surface area of 2.583 m². A comparison of initial and final data reveals a decrease in resistance from 3.470 GΩ in the initial test to 2.792 GΩ in the final test. This reduction underscores the importance of paying closer attention to maintenance and routine testing to ensure the module's long-term reliability. This study provides new empirical evidence on the dynamics of short-term insulation degradation under tropical solar conditions, a topic that has been rarely quantified in field-based PV reliability research. In addition, this study makes significant contributions to the development of industry standards that aim to enhance the reliability of solar modules and manage renewable energy systems.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive, simulation-based validation of a Luenberger Observer (LO) specifically designed for fault detection in storage tank systems. It commences with the development of a nonlinear storage tank model, which is subsequently linearized to streamline the observer design process. The LO estimates critical system states and produces residual signals that enable reliable fault detection. The observer gain is meticulously chosen using pole placement techniques to ensure rapid convergence of estimates and overall stability. To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, three distinct fault scenarios—ramp, square pulse, and inverted ramp signals—are introduced to simulate various types of abnormal conditions that could occur in real-world operations. Simulation results demonstrate that the LO accurately estimates the liquid level states with a mean absolute error of approximately 0.02 meters, equivalent to about 2.6%. Furthermore, the observer detects faults with an average delay between 5 and 9 seconds following fault injection, indicating its prompt response capability. Notably, even with sensor noise levels reaching 6%, the observer maintains stable tracking performance, demonstrating strong robustness against disturbances. Across all tested scenarios, the residual signals show rapid increases during fault conditions and swiftly return near zero once the system reverts to normal operation, with no false alarms observed. Collectively, these results suggest that the Luenberger Observer provides an accurate, rapid, and disturbance-tolerant method for fault detection in storage tank systems. Such an approach offers a practical alternative to data-driven fault detection methodologies, as it relies less on extensive training datasets and can be more readily implemented for real-time industrial monitoring applications.

Abstract

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) is a widely adopted digital modulation technique that encodes two bits of information in each symbol by utilizing four distinct phase states separated by 90 degrees. This approach offers high spectral efficiency, making it especially suitable for modern communication systems that demand robust data transmission with limited bandwidth. This investigation details the design process and LTspice-based simulation of a QPSK demodulator constructed entirely from discrete electronic components. This work addresses a gap in previous research, which has largely relied on integrated circuits or software-based algorithms, by focusing on circuit-level implementation using basic analog and digital components. The demodulator was assembled on a prototype PCB, combining fundamental operational amplifiers, mixers, filters, and digital logic gates to perform the required signal processing functions. The evaluation involved testing the demodulator's ability to accurately recover the transmitted data and its operational stability. Simulation results demonstrated reliable performance across all stages, with the demodulator successfully maintaining phase detection accuracy and reconstructing the original 8-bit test sequence with high fidelity. Under test conditions with a 1 MHz carrier frequency and a data transmission rate of 500 kHz, the recovered signal showed an approximate delay of 4.5 microseconds attributable to the sequential parallel-to-serial conversion process. Despite the delay, the demodulator maintained full symbol-level correlation with the transmitted data stream. These findings confirm that a discrete component-based QPSK demodulator can effectively support reliable digital communication, highlighting its practicality for educational purposes, low-cost prototyping, laboratory training, and preliminary hardware development in the field of wireless and wired communication systems.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel optimization algorithm, the NExIWAC (Natural Exponential Inertia Weight and Acceleration Coefficient) variant of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), for tuning PID controllers in DC motor speed control systems. The proposed NExIWAC algorithm improves control performance by dynamically adjusting the inertia weight and acceleration coefficients during optimization. To evaluate its effectiveness, the NExIWAC-tuned PID controller was compared against five established metaheuristic algorithms: Atomic Search Optimization (ASO), Sand Cat Swarm Optimization (SCSO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO), and Stochastic Fractal Search (SFS). The system's step response was analyzed under a reference speed demand of 1 p.u., with performance metrics including steady-state error, rise time, settling time, overshoot, and Integral of Time-weighted Absolute Error (ITAE). The NExIWAC algorithm demonstrated superior performance, achieving the fastest rise and settling times, zero steady-state error, and the lowest ITAE value among the tested algorithms. A robustness analysis was conducted by varying motor parameters, such as armature resistance and motor constant, by ±50%. The NExIWAC-PID controller exhibited stable and reliable performance under all conditions. Stability analysis through Bode plots and pole-zero mapping further confirmed the system's robust behavior, with a high phase margin and poles located in the left half of the complex plane. The results indicate that the NExIWAC algorithm is a powerful and reliable optimization tool for tuning PID controllers in DC motor applications, offering significant advantages in terms of precision, stability, and adaptability.
