BackgroundThis study aims to evaluate the performance of a 1.26 kW Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) fed Electric Vehicle (EV) using an Enriched Switched Parameter Cuk (ESPC) converter and an Elman Back Propagation (EBP) maximum power point tracking algorithm (MPPT). The acceptance of fuel cell-fed EVs in modern society is critical to the development of a pollution-free environment. One of the significa Read More

BackgroundConsumption of electricity always varies based on demand. The load cluster pattern aims at categorizing periodical changes over a specific time. Predicting the electric load was the initial goal of this study. Additionally, the outcomes of the load prediction were utilized as data for categorizing electrical loads using a descriptive-analytical method.ObjectiveThe study has dealt with a matching of load-side electric de Read More

BackgroundThis article presents a novel strategy that utilizes the nature-inspired Spotted Hyena Optimizer Algorithm (SHOA) to optimize the placement of solar and wind-based renewable distributed generation (RDG) and distribution static compensators (DSTATCOMs) in radial distribution systems (RDS).MethodsThe proposed technique aims to determine the optimal locations of DSTATCOM and RDGs based on the loss sensi Read More

BackgroundThe utilization of electric vehicles (EVs) is on the rise, which has led to significant challenges for the radial distribution system (RDS). This research aimed to investigate the impact of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) on power loss, voltage stability, and reliability within the RDS. Solar-based renewable distributed generation (SRDG) offers a range of benefits in mitigating the impact of EVCS on the distribution Read More

BackgroundThe Integration of non-conventional energy systems (NCES), like solar, wind, etc., into the grid with power electronic devices is adapted to meet the demand. Parallel connection of inverters (PCI) is an efficient method to boost power handling capacity, reliability, and system efficiency. However, the main drawback is the unequal power sharing among the inverters while using the conventional droop control technique (C Read More

BackgroundOne of the key challenges in maximizing the performance of PV systems is the efficient tracking of the maximum power point (MPP) under varying operational conditions, including changes in solar irradiance and temperature. Accurate MPP tracking is essential for achieving optimal energy conversion efficiency and maximizing the electricity generation potential of the PV array, even during partial shading co Read More

BackgroundThe frequency of energy crises due to shortage of fuel or rise in fuel prices has increased in the past decade. This may be due to increasing energy demand, the financially crippled state of the distribution companies, high prices of fuel, shortage of fuel, tension between the countries, etc. Apart from this, climate change, global warming, and rising environmental concerns have necessitated the need to searc Read More
