Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are utilized to improve the stability of electrical networks and provide additional damping to reduce electromechanical oscillations. PSS is developed to cope with different oscillation modes, such as global, local, and inter-area modes. Several PSS designs have been discussed in the literature, including single input, dual-input and Multi-Band (MB) PSS. In this research, different PSSs designs (PSS1A, $P$ SS3B, and MB-PSS4B) are investigated, and a four-machine system is considered with two areas and modeled using MATLAB/Simulink. The results indicate that the performance of optimized MB-PSS4B is better than PSS1A and $P$ SS3B where the settling time of power angle is reduced. The settling time decreased to 4.24 s when the OMB-PSS4B is used. Moreover, there is a small reduction in the peak power angle with the utilization of OMB-PSS4B.

Eighteen-pulse rectifier had been proposed to replace the conventional twelve-pulse rectifier as it may further minimize the ac and dc harmonics distortions. This paper presents a simulation study of implementing an eighteen-pulse rectification system for future dc traction power substation. A phase-shifting transformer with angle displacement of 0, −20, and +20 degrees and three unit of six-pulse diode rectifier are modelled and validated via simulation. The preliminary results had confirmed that this 18-pulse rectification system managed to keep the utility grid voltage and current distortion indexes at about 2% without employing any harmonic filters. However, approximately 1 MVar reactive power must be compensated. Thus, passive harmonics filters are proposed. Three major power quality improvements are observed via simulation after implementing these filters. Firstly, the instantaneous reactive power is kept within the bands of ± 0.12 MVar. Next, an approximate unity power factor can be seen from the grid system. Lastly, the grid voltage and current waveforms distortion are complied with IEEE standard for both normal and contingency operating condition.

A direct-drive system with a permanent magnet linear generator has been an attractive solution for wave energy converter devices. Exploiting the reciprocating movement of wave motion has enabled the application of linear generators to wave energy converter devices. This paper presents the computational simulation of the Permanent Magnet Linear Generator design for a point absorber wave energy converter. The electromagnetic analysis was done using the Finite Element Analysis software, ANSYS. With this analysis, results on the flux distribution, air gap flux density and open-circuit results of the proposed design were gathered. A lab-scale device was constructed to validate a simple version of a single-phase linear generator design. A comparative study of both simulation and experimental results of the linear generator was carried out. Based on the results, the percentage error between simulation and experimental obtained was acceptable. To maximize power generation, an improved version of the linear generator based on an actual ocean profile was proposed.

The persistent energy problems facing developing nations can be addressed by investing in renewable energy sources and technologies as these RES, such as fuel cell, PV energy, wind energy, and biomass energy can provide the needed energy to overcome energy shortages in such nations. MLIs are commonly used for high power high/medium voltage applications as they are considered an advanced topology for power conversion. Studies are currently focusing on the design of “reduced switch MLI (RS MLI) topologies” to facilitate the production of high-quality output without using numerous numbers of switches. These RS MLI are currently emerging techniques for various reasons, such as cost reduction, optimal sizing, reduced volume, minimized losses, and high efficiency. This study presents the design and development of a Multilevel Inverter (MLI) structure with fewer switch count for PV application. The proposed inverter architecture comprises of an H-bridge unit that acts as the polarity generator and the level generating unit comprising independent voltage sources with switches and diodes. It combines the proposed inverter with a PV array through a DC-DC converter. The boost converter will improve the output voltage of the solar photovoltaic system to its maximum value using MPPT (P&O). The proposed inverter is designed and tested for structures of five, seven, and nine levels by using MATLAB/Simulink. Selected results are presented to verify the validation of the 5, 7, and 9 levels MLIs. As a result, the proposed system successfully managed to achieve 96 % efficiency.

Alongside the growing energy demand, the exploration and invention in technology to achieve world sustainability goal is of particular interest. However, the limitation of low overall energy conversion efficiency in conventional fossil-fuel-fired power plants is yet to be resolved. Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system is of great interest today, as it promotes the usage of renewable energy and improves the energy efficiency in a plant. Narrower bandgap materials such as InGaAsSb TPV cell has been reported to achieve a promising performance for waste-heat application. However, the performance of InGaAsSb TPV cell is yet to be optimized. Hence, this research aims to optimize 0.496 eV InGaAsSb to achieve better cell efficiency using Silvaco software under 10002000 K blackbody temperature, which complies with the heat harvesting application. At 1223 K blackbody temperature InGaAsSb can potentially generate electricity with 10.82% efficiency $left({{P_{out}} = 0.286{text{W/c}}{{mathrm{m}}^2}} right)$. By optimizing the doping level and emitter thickness, it is capable to produce a maximum output power of 0.31 and 0.33 W/cm2, respectively. Thus, this study shall contribute to the development of narrow bandgap TPV device for waste heat recovery system.

Electric vehicles generally use a permanent magnet DC motor (PMDC). An example of an electric vehicle using PMDC is the electric scooter. The PI Controller to control the electric scooter scheme has a cascade configuration. The common problem in implementing a PI cascade controller is that the gain does not match the increasing error value in some conditions. There is also a case where a cascaded PI control method uses fuzzy logic controller, commonly called fuzzy gain scheduling. The addition of fuzzy gain scheduling on the PI speed controller shows that the speed graph response of the PMDC is better than the speed response without fuzzy gain scheduling. This method can give a good performance.

New method for estimating state of health of lead-acid batteries is reported in the paper. The method is based on estimating Ampere hour capacity of the lead-acid battery. Lead-acid batteries are used by electric rickshaws prevalent in developing countries including India, Bangladesh and Indonesia. Replacing lead-acid batteries causes a huge dent in the savings of the electric rickshaws driver. For extending the life of lead-acid batteries it is necessary to know it's state of health first. The proposed method can be easily appended onto a battery charger.

In power electronics field, power converters are the most common appliances that are used in enormous applications, such as renewable energy and electric motor drives. However, such appliances are opposed to fault at any time. Meanwhile, open circuit faults are the most common faults. In these regards, this paper presents a creative method to detect and identify the fault location based on the current distortion. The proposed method calculates the current distortion as well as the voltage variation besides creating an improved look-up table for Hybrid active neutral point inverters (HANPC). In addition, deep description of the proposed method and performance analysis of the operational behavior of the system are carried out. In addition, the effeteness of the proposed method is verified by simulation.

Hybrid systems are counted as the best alternatives for environmental and power difficulties. To optimize any system in order to attain an economic system with a lower cost, sizing is required. In addition, an Energy Management Strategy (EMS) for controlling the flowing power in the system to supply the load is required. A metaheuristic optimization algorithm called Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) is complemented with EMS to control and solve optimization problems for the residential area in Tripoli-Libya. In order to increase the utilization of renewable energy sources (RESs) as Photovoltaic (PV) and Wind Turbine (WT), a microgrid system was proposed with the aforementioned RESs, with battery (BT) and, Electric Vehicle (EV) in terms of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). The sizing of the components is performed to attain the proposed objective that termed Renewable Energy Fraction (REV) to be increased. The area of study is fortunate with different climatology conditions to produce energy through different seasons. The result demonstrated that the objective function has been achieved due to the high potential of RES in the study area. The proposed method could provide a system with a fewer number of components. The proposed system may be helpful in reducing the dependency on the utility grid by using the RESs and improving the standard of living of human beings.

A controller for solenoid valves for irrigation systems has been developed to optimize water use for Lemon Myrtle crops. This project aims to help farmers manage their irrigation systems using electronic devices to control valves and monitor the whole crop zone utilising the drone. A prototype consisting of critical components such as a microcontroller, solenoid valves, and Bluetooth module as transmitter and receiver for the drone was fabricated and tested to see the performance. The primary outcome of this idea is that the crop, lemon myrtle, will receive accurate time monitoring and an optimum water supply. Proper tracking can maintain the growth of the crops and boost the production of lemon myrtle. Furthermore, energy can be saved both for machinery and humans because this system utilized solar power to run the system instead of conventional ways that use diesel generators and drones to monitor whole crop zones.
