Photovoltaic (PV) is a promising way to meet the increasing global energy demand due to its sustainability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. For the wide-scale adoption of PV systems, converters with reliable input sources, stable control strategies and appropriate modulation techniques must be designed. In the literature, various modulation techniques have been developed that help to boost the voltage of the PV modules by implementing shoot-through (ST) in which the upper and lower switches of an inverter conduct simultaneously and short-circuit occurs. Various optimised modulation techniques have been implemented to enhance its performance. Among those, the quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) has attracted much attention due to its ability to achieve higher conversion ratios for grid-connected PV applications. In this paper, a detailed comparison of the modulation schemes for the qZSI PV systems has been done to understand the trade-off and select the most suitable approach. Upon the selection of the space vector modulation with unique switching sequences and rearranging upper ST and lower ST states, the inverter can achieve ST with reduced switching losses. Furthermore, a 600 VA three-phase grid-connected system utilizing a three-level neutral-point-clamped qZSI topology is modulated and simulated. It has been demonstrated that the constant boost control offers good performance in terms of reduced voltage stresses on switches, lower total harmonic distortion, and hence, higher efficiency.
光伏(PV)具有可持续性、高效性和成本效益,是满足全球日益增长的能源需求的一种有前途的方式。为了大范围采用光伏系统,必须设计具有可靠输入源、稳定控制策略和适当调制技术的转换器。在文献中,已开发出各种调制技术,通过实施击穿(ST)技术(即逆变器的上下开关同时导通并发生短路)来帮助提升光伏模块的电压。为提高其性能,还采用了各种优化调制技术。其中,准 Z 源逆变器 (qZSI) 因其能够在并网光伏应用中实现更高的转换率而备受关注。本文对 qZSI 光伏系统的调制方案进行了详细比较,以了解其中的利弊得失,并选择最合适的方法。在选择具有独特开关序列的空间矢量调制并重新排列上部 ST 和下部 ST 状态后,逆变器可在减少开关损耗的情况下实现 ST。此外,还对采用三电平中性点钳位 qZSI 拓扑的 600 VA 三相并网系统进行了调制和仿真。结果表明,恒定升压控制在减少开关电压应力、降低总谐波失真以及提高效率方面具有良好的性能。

In photovoltaic (PV) systems, the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy by the PV module is influenced by various factors, including sunlight intensity and temperature. To achieve optimal performance, it is crucial to accurately track the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV module. Among the numerous MPP tracking (MPPT) techniques that have been developed, the perturbation and observation (PO) method has gained significant attention due to its simplicity and reliability. However, the fixed perturbation step size used in the traditional PO algorithm can result in poor tracking capability, excessive ripple, and drift, leading to high power loss and low tracking efficiency. To address these limitations, this paper proposes an improved version of the PO strategy that introduces an adaptable step-magnitude mechanism, utilizing current perturbation instead of the voltage perturbation typically employed in the classical PO method. This enhanced indirect PO approach maintains low complexity and can be easily implemented on a cost-effective Arduino Uno board. A streamlined C++ code integrates the improved PO MPPT strategy with a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller, eliminating the need for separate PID blocks and further reducing system complexity. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, comparative analyses are conducted against the traditional PO algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO), fuzzy logic control (FLC), and a recently introduced approach, the zone voltage (ZV) method. Simulation results using Proteus software demonstrate that the improved PO approach outperforms the other techniques in various aspects, including achieving the highest static and dynamic tracking efficiencies of 99.38% and 99.88%, respectively, negligible power loss and fluctuations, the fastest convergence speed, and the shortest tracking time of 0.19 seconds.
在光伏(PV)系统中,光伏组件将太阳能转化为电能的过程受到各种因素的影响,包括日照强度和温度。为实现最佳性能,准确跟踪光伏组件的最大功率点(MPP)至关重要。在众多已开发的最大功率点跟踪(MPPT)技术中,扰动和观测(PO)方法因其简单可靠而备受关注。然而,传统 PO 算法中使用的固定扰动步长会导致跟踪能力差、纹波过大和漂移,从而导致高功率损耗和低跟踪效率。为了解决这些局限性,本文提出了一种改进版的 PO 策略,该策略引入了一种可适应的步幅机制,利用电流扰动取代了经典 PO 方法中通常采用的电压扰动。这种增强型间接 PO 方法保持了较低的复杂性,可在高性价比的 Arduino Uno 电路板上轻松实现。精简的 C++ 代码将改进的 PO MPPT 策略与比例积分微分(PID)控制器集成在一起,从而无需单独的 PID 模块,进一步降低了系统的复杂性。为了评估所提技术的有效性,我们对传统的 PO 算法、粒子群优化(PSO)、模糊逻辑控制(FLC)以及最近引入的区域电压(ZV)方法进行了比较分析。使用 Proteus 软件进行的仿真结果表明,改进的 PO 方法在各方面都优于其他技术,包括实现了最高的静态和动态跟踪效率(分别为 99.38% 和 99.88%)、可忽略的功率损耗和波动、最快的收敛速度以及最短的 0.19 秒跟踪时间。

In recent years, the operation of the electric power grid has become more efficient and resilient due to the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs). Solar and wind energy are being incorporated aggressively into the main grid, while other RESs like biomass and geothermal energy are also on the rise. However, the intermittent nature of these RESs necessitates the use of energy storage devices (ESDs) as a backup for electricity generation such as batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheel energy storage systems (FESS). This paper provides a thorough review of the standardization, market applications, and grid integration of FESS. It examines the components of FESS, including the electric motor/generator set, power converters, bearings, and control techniques. The paper also highlights the application of modern artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies in optimizing FESS operations, referencing over 240 recent publications in reputable journals. Metaheuristic optimizers, machine learning techniques, and well-matures software's are the main AI aspects discussed in this paper. Additionally, it explores the use of FESS in commercial sectors such as marine, space, and transportation, and its integration with RESs for participating in green energy. Finally, the paper emphasizes the role of AI in enhancing the synergy between FESS and RESs to contribute to a more sustainable and secure energy future.

Concerns over fossil fuel emissions and their hazardous effects have led to a shift away from conventional power plants and focus more on the expansion of renewable energy sources. This shift has resulted in reduced inertia and resulted in poor frequency control within electrical power systems. Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) have been proposed as an effective solution to enhance frequency stability and address the reduced inertia issue. This research evaluates three distinct control models for HESS, Incorporating Supercapacitor Energy Storage (SCES) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). To optimize the control parameters with the best objectives, all possible sets of objectives with four different optimization algorithms are studied. The three control models considered for the HESS incorporate Virtual Synchronous Generator (VSG) or Virtual Inertia (VI) control with independent or simultaneous optimization of control parameters. The performances of the three control models are evaluated based on three test scenarios incorporating uncertainties, reduced inertia, and uniform and random load disturbances. The findings indicate that the Independently Optimized Virtual Synchronous Generator HESS (IO VSG-HESS) achieves the best settling time post-contingency but offers the least improvement in frequency nadir with an average of 0.31 %. Conversely, the Simultaneously Optimized Virtual Inertia And Virtual Synchronous Generator Controlled HESS (SO VI-VSG-HESS) excel in mitigating small frequency fluctuations with an average improvement in frequency standard deviation of 87.65 %. The Simultaneously Optimized Virtual Synchronous Generator Controlled HESS (SO VSG-HESS) provides the best frequency nadir, with an average improvement of 0.63 %, but with a slight increase in settling time.

In this work, solar photovoltaic array-based generation unit is connected to non-ideal distribution network and powering plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging infrastructure and other local loads connected to AC common bus while ensuring reliable operation of parallel connected voltage source converters under dynamics. A photovoltaic array connected via voltage source inverter, which feeds power to loads and battery is used to act as power management entity and provides reactive power and harmonic power support via converter. In context of widespread incorporation of PEVs and renewable energy sources (RES) into grid, inherent intermittency and dynamic behavior pose significant challenges in establishing a resilient and flexible control framework. Consequently, a solution is proposed that employs dual low pass filter integrated along an adaptive noise elimination filtering algorithm, serving as a primary processing stage. Additionally, integrator-based frequency locked loop control strategy is implemented in conjunction to mitigate power quality concerns, regulate voltage levels, and correct power factor discrepancies. Furthermore, system ensures continuous operation, providing uninterrupted power to local loads even during fluctuating conditions while simultaneously functioning as a seamless PEV charging station. Additionally, a comparative analysis of controller performance is summarized in a tabular format, alongside a power quality assessment. The analysis includes the evaluation of total harmonic distortion (THD) for both grid currents and grid voltages, which are measured at 2.36 % and 3.60 %, respectively. These values are well within the limits established by IEEE 519 standard, demonstrating compliance with the required power quality criteria. This RES based charging structure topology is tested using a hardware prototype under dynamics and impactful performance is observed through obtained results.

The depletion of conventional energy sources coupled with the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has significantly underscored the necessity for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) with advanced energy supply management within microgrids. Effective energy management of EVs and EVSEs is imperative to satisfy EV owners and stabilize microgrids. This paper introduces multi-objective grey wolf optimization (MOGWO) to optimize EVSE and EV charging costs. MOGWO achieves substantial cost savings through dynamic pricing based on time of day, state-of-charge and hour-based scheduling which promotes off-peak charging thereby enhancing system efficiency and reducing costs. The algorithm also provides flexibility for trip interruptions and outperforms other optimization algorithms in minimizing EV charging/discharging costs by achieving reductions of up to ₹488 and obtaining average grid efficiency up to 76.41 % during charging and 87.41 % during discharging. Integrating Vehicle-to-Grid and Grid-to-Vehicle systems enhances microgrid resilience and delivers economic benefits to EV owners. The cost optimization for EV charging/discharging has been executed using MATLAB 2023a software to determine the most cost-effective charging paths by considering energy availability and grid conditions. The evolving sustainable energy landscape combined with MOGWO paves the way for smarter and more resilient microgrids in the era of electrified transportation.

This paper presents the numerical study using finite element method for optimal liquid sensing performance of one port surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator. Simulation shows that the extend of IDT-reflector gap can be optimized to contain most of the piezoelectric displacement. Various settings of liquid placement on the mentioned region yield distinct resonant frequency responses of the SAW sensor. For concentrated liquid with higher order of viscosity, magnitude of S-Parameter and phase of the propagating SAW can be applied to sense the liquid solutions. Based on the results, optimal liquid sensing performance of the device can be achieved when liquid droplet sized about 10 % of the aperture is placed in the middle position of the IDT-reflector gap conditioned at 1.5 λ. Using the formulated strategy, the one port SAW device distinguishes well 0 % to 100 % glycerine concentrations compared to limited detection range reported in the previous study. The finding includes equation of liquid turnover viscosity before shift in direction of the changes in S-Parameter measurement. The derived parameters can be set as reference to design the microfludic cell or lab-on-chip based on the one port SAW configuration for optimized liquid sensing performance.
本文采用有限元法对单孔表面声波(SAW)谐振器的最佳液体传感性能进行了数值研究。仿真结果表明,IDT-反射器间隙的延伸可以优化到包含大部分压电位移。在上述区域放置液体的不同设置会产生不同的声表面波传感器谐振频率响应。对于具有高阶粘度的浓缩液体,可以应用 S 参数的大小和声表面波传播的相位来感应液体溶液。根据研究结果,当液滴大小约为孔径的 10% 并置于 1.5 λ 条件下的 IDT - 反射器间隙的中间位置时,该装置可实现最佳的液体感应性能。与之前研究中报告的有限检测范围相比,采用所制定的策略,单端口声表面波装置可很好地区分 0% 至 100% 的甘油浓度。研究结果包括在 S 参数测量方向发生变化之前的液体流动粘度方程。得出的参数可作为设计基于单端口声表面波配置的微流控芯片或片上实验室的参考,以优化液体传感性能。

Based on the results, optimal liquid sensing performance of the device can be achieved when liquid droplet sized about 10 % of the aperture is placed in the middle position of the IDT-reflector gap conditioned at 1.5 λ. Using the formulated strategy, the one port SAW device distinguishes well 0 % to 100 % glycerine concentrations compared to limited detection range reported in the previous study. The finding includes equation of liquid turnover viscosity before shift in direction of the changes in S-Parameter measurement. The derived parameters can be set as reference to design the microfludic cell or lab-on-chip based on the one port SAW configuration for optimized liquid sensing performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100488,"journal":{"name":"e-Prime - Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100799"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142428704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents a new technique for detecting and localizing the open-circuit (OC) faults in the semiconductor switches of the Highly Efficient and Reliable Inverter Concept (HERIC) converter. It is a transformerless Photovoltaic (PV) inverter based on the full-bridge topology, with two extra switches on the AC side called ac bypass switches. The proposed method uses a sliding mode observer (SMO) to detect faults in the AC bypass switch and main switches of the full bridge inverter. To diagnose OC faults in the AC bypass leg, two parallel SMOs are created based on the converter’s state space model. Similarly, two SMOs are designed for the main switches. A residual is generated by combining the observed and measured grid currents to accurately locate the OC fault within the inverter system. To localize the faulty main switch, once the fault is detected the inverter is reconfigured and based on the grid current the faulty switch is identified. A major benefit of this method is that it does not rely on additional sensors for fault diagnosis, making the system more robust. The effectiveness and reliability of this approach are demonstrated through simulation studies. In addition, a laboratory prototype is developed to validate the practical applicability of the method.
