Various solar energy harvesting technologies have been developed and tested for agricultural applications. Renewable energies such as biomass, solar, and wind energy offer long-term energy sources for farmers and can replace other fuels. Many renewable energy technologies are used in agriculture, depending on the type of energy required, the availability of renewable energy sources, and the design of agricultural structures and processes. Solar energy is used in agriculture for a variety of purposes to increase self-sufficiency, save money and bills, and reduce pollution when replaced with other fuels. Solar collectors can be used to dry plants and heat homes, barns, and greenhouses. These include solar thermal and electrical devices such as photovoltaics, solar water pumps, solar dryers, solar greenhouse heating, livestock ventilation, and solar aeration pumps, which can be powered by photovoltaics (solar panels). This article describes different types of applications used for agricultural purposes.

In the modern world, all industries are striving for rapid expansion through the introduction of various advanced technologies, including the agricultural sector. The aim of this paper is to design a solar-powered automatic seed sowing mechanism. The main goal of this design is to create a low-cost, solar-powered, seed- sowing device that can be easily used by farmers. This gadget uses a solar panel to absorb solar energy, which is then converted to electrical energy. The entire device can be fully powered by solar energy, eliminating the need for fossil fuels. In the sowing mechanism, seeds are supplied through two hoppers on either side of the machine. The seeds come out of hopper and are collected by a fan-shaped device that picks the seed from the feeder and places them on the other side of the U-shaped container. The seeds are subsequently released into the ground through a circular aperture. The drive shaft of the machine is connected to this apparatus, which simultaneously rotates both of them. The planted seed is covered is with the soil is covered by new earth applied to the seeds using a plate adjuster. The whole process is automated through a programmed microcontroller without human intervention.

India has been suffering from an acute shortage of electricity for several decades. The main reason is that there is a large gap between the demand and supply of electricity. Therefore, the government of India has recently promoted cogeneration in the sugar industry. The national power generation potential from bagasse cogeneration, according to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), a study by the Government of India, is about 3,500 MW, while Maharashtra's potential is 1,250 MW. Indian Sugar Industries has the potential to produce an excess capacity of up to 5,000 MW in all sugar mills. Maharashtra again became India's leading sugar-producing state five years later. It overtook Uttar Pradesh in sugar production. The total sugar production in Maharashtra is 138 thousand metric tonnes for 2021–2022. In India, the sugar industry is the second-largest agro-industry and contributes significantly to the socioeconomic development of the country. Sugarcane is the main raw material for sugar production in India. Sugar cogeneration is the concept of producing two types of energy from one fuel. One form of energy must always be heated, and the other may be electricity or mechanical energy. In the cogeneration industry, very high-efficiency levels in the range of 75% to 90% can be achieved.

This paper presents a literature survey on various issues related to Electric Vehicles (EV) from an Electric Power Systems (EPS) perspective. For the past few years, the EPS has been transforming exceptionally, necessitating a substantial change in the network configuration, operation, and control of conventional power systems. Especially, distribution networks have undergone a significant transformation. Moreover, new loads like Electric Vehicles are going to be integrated with the electrical grid, and these EV loads will modify the consumption of electrical energy. Electric Vehicles will have a great impact on the distribution network because of their nonlinear behavior. At present, most of the existing EVs are connected to the residential distribution network for charging, which usually increases the demand for residential power. Consequently, unplanned charging of a huge number of EVs will result in an excessive energy demand that will result in several issues, such as power outages, voltage fluctuations, thermal stress on the lines, and harmonic pollution.

Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries are potential energy storage devices in microgrids. It can help to manage microgrid energy consumption by storing energy when there is a surplus (Grid-To-Vehicle, G2V) and returning energy to the grid (Vehicle-To-Grid, V2G) when there is a demand. This methodology can be expressed by developing infrastructure and management systems to implement this concept. This paper presents an architecture for implementing a V2G-G2V system in a microgrid using Layer 3 fast charging for electric vehicles. A microgrid test system is simulated that has a Direct Current (DC) fast charging station to interface electric vehicles. Simulation studies are performed to illustrate V2GG2V power transmission. The test results show the regulation of active power in the microgrid by electric vehicle batteries in G2V-V2G operating modes. The design of the charging station ensures minimal harmonic distortion of the current supplied to the network, and the controller provides good dynamic performance in terms of voltage stability on the DC bus.

A dual-source voltage inverter system is proposed to improve the power and consistency aspects of using a microgrid. Evaluation of the Proportional Integral (PI), the intelligent Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), and the developed control method is known as the Instantaneous Symmetrical Component Theory (ISCT). A Dual Voltage Source Inverter (DVSI) uses Distributed Energy Resources (DER) to exchange power and compensate for unbalanced and non-linear loads in the system. The direct-quadrature-zero transformation (Dq0) conversion is used to obtain the positive sequence voltage. To evaluate the system control method, an inverter connected to a three-phase, four-wire distribution combination is used. The proposed system is verified by MATLAB simulation methods using a PI controller and an intelligent FLC system.
