Photovoltaic energy is one of the ruling area due to it’s easy availability and pollution free nature. At the same time the voltage from the PV is needed to be stepped up for different load ...requirements. There are various pulse width modulation techniques for the control of impedance Source inverter(ZSI).Here we have considered Carrier based various PWM techniques for PV-ZSI Converter. The proposed converter consists of cascade connection of PV Modules and Conventional-ZSI which provides higher boosting factor and smaller size than that of existing VSI .The performance of inverters depend on the type of modulation technique used to switch them. This work depicts a detailed analytical approach in MATLAB/Simulink platform as well hardware consists of sine triangle PWM method for proposed new topology PV-ZSI. It has been observed output voltage of proposed inverter is more in comparison to conventional VSI. As the proposed inverter is lesser in size and output voltage is greater so it is more efficient than conventional VSI. There is no requirement of Boost converter .
The Photovoltaic standalone system is gaining its high importance mostly for rural application like pv water pumping, solar lighting, battery charging etc.Considering environmental effects and ...scarcity of fossil fuel the trend has developed towards the use of more and more renewable energy.In this paper a basic circuit of boost converter is designed in MATLAB/Simulink with constant dc source voltage. However a comparative study has also been done for the converter connected with pv system directly with the converter connected with mppt tracking technique. Perturb and Observance (P&O) algorithm is implemented for providing the necessary duty pulse and makes the system operate at maximum power point.The boost converter connected with PV system without mppt operates at any other point other then the maximum power point and hence the output voltage decreases.But with mppt the proposed system performs better.
This work includes the establishment of a Photovoltaic system connected to the grid by means of an inverter. The fundamental goal of the work is to incorporate an advanced active power flow ...management scheme in order to adopt load at any weather condition along with the advantage of maximum active power flow and zero harmonics from PV inverter to the grid. The outcome of analysis and control design of grid connected PV inverter using a Proportional-Integral (PI) control technique is based on synchronous dq rotating reference frame so as to achieve maximum output voltage and record the active power. It has been observed that the model provides a better rate of stability as compared to the existing topology.
This article presents a hybrid optimization technique particle swarm optimization-gravitational search algorithm for optimal over-current relay coordination. The main contribution of this article is ...to find the optimized relay settings during variation in environmental factors that affect distributed generation performance. The detailed model of wind and photovoltaic source, modeled in a PSCAD/EMTDC platform is penetrated in a 13-bus distribution system. The optimal relay settings are found for different cases, including change in wind speed, change in penetration level, change in cell temperature, and insolation level of photovoltaic. A comparison of particle swarm optimization-gravitational search algorithm with particle swarm optimization and gravitational search algorithm technique is also done, and it is shown that the particle swarm optimization-gravitational search algorithm is a superior method that can be applied in relay coordination tasks.
This paper represents a hybrid energy system (HES) consisting of photovoltaic (PV), Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC), electrolyzer system and a storage tank. In this proposed system a fuel cell ...controller is used where a PID controller is utilized to control the flow of hydrogen (H2) through the valve to the SOFC to fulfill the load requirement. In this model a supervisory controller is used to regulate the whole system according to load requirement. So, when PV power is more than load requirement, then PV power fulfill the required load demand as well as the extra power of PV is utilized to generate the hydrogen (H2) by the help of electrolyzer, further this hydrogen is used as a fuel of SOFC. Also in this proposed model different types of faults are considered and verified their effect on the load as well as in distribution network. The computer simulations are done for the purpose technology and verified its effectiveness. Hence the appropriate results are obtained.
This paper presents the detailed modeling of various components of a grid connected hybrid energy system (HES) consisting of a photovoltaic (PV) system, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), an ...electrolyzer and a hydrogen storage tank with a power flow controller. Also, a valve controlled by the proposed controller decides how much amount of fuel is consumed by fuel cell according to the load demand. In this paper fuel cell is used instead of battery bank because fuel cell is free from pollution. The control and power management strategies are also developed. When the PV power is sufficient then it can fulfill the load demand as well as feeds the extra power to the electrolyzer. By using the electrolyzer, the hydrogen is generated from the water and stored in storage tank and this hydrogen act as a fuel to SOFC. If the availability of the power from the PV system cannot fulfill the load demand, then the fuel cell fulfills the required load demand. The SOFC takes required amount of hydrogen as fuel, which is controlled by the PID controller through a valve. Effectiveness of this technology is verified by the help of computer simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment under various loading conditions and promising results are obtained.
Road fatalities remain a major public health concern as over 1.3 million people across the world die in road accidents annually, and another 20-50 million sustain injuries. Malawi, with vehicle ...ownership about 437,416, has not been an exception to this, with reported fatality rates of 35 crash deaths per 100,000 population, possibly due to limited understanding of factors that contribute to such high road fatality rates. This may have resulted in implementing inappropriate and ineffective mitigation measures. Thus, the overall objective of this study was to investigate the availability, including their functionality and usage of seatbelts in motor vehicles, which could possibly be one of the major factors for increase in road fatalities. To establish the rates of availability, including their functionality and usage of seatbelts in motor vehicles, primary data through survey for a sample of 1,200 vehicles were investigated. The independent variables of data were cross tabulated with the dependent variables to establish these rates. Chi-square test was also performed to establish the significance of associations between the cross tabulated variables. The analysis found that Malawi's drivers and passengers poorly comply with seatbelt laws. The overall seatbelt usage rate was 35.8%. In this regard, where over 90% of motor vehicles in Malawi have functional seatbelts, poor enforcement of existing seatbelt laws and awareness on the dangers of not using seatbelts could account for the low usage.
A grid connected hybrid generation system (HGS) consisting of wind energy conversion System (WECS)/Photo voltaic (PV) System/solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is designed and simulated by using ...Matlab/Simulink. SOFC is the replacement of battery, attached to produce the clean energy when these renewable energy sources are unable to produce required amount of electric power. A controller is used to regulate the flow of H2 through the valveto the SOFC and the rest amount of H2 is stored in storage tank. Also, an operational control strategy (OCS) is developed to utilize maximum amount of power of PV to the required load and rest amount of power is coming from wind to fulfill the load demand. Hence, the electrolyzer is supplied by the wind power to convert the water in to H2 and oxygen. Also the power quality factor (PQF) analysis is exercised to measure the quality of power transmission.
The conventional energy sources that are used today are the most reliable sources discovered till date. But its environmental consequences and exhaustibility are the sole reason for switching to the ...renewable energy sources. Despite of all its environmental benefits and inexhaustible nature, it is very unpredictable and hence not at all reliable. So instead of depending on a single renewable source world is moving towards a hybrid source. So the idea of smart integration of the renewable energy sources with grid or battery bank for standalone system is coming into picture. The core objective of this paper is to create a smart sensor-based network for automatic control and switching of the solar and wind integrated system depending upon the nature of resource available, demand and utilizing from the auxiliary supply when needed. This is a theoretical model with the objective is to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the system. A part of this model is modelled in the MATLAB/Simulink Software to check the utility of the model.
