ABSTRACT Collocating wind and solar generation with battery energy storage is a concept garnering much attention lately. An integrated wind, solar, and energy storage (IWSES) plant has a far better generation profile than standalone wind or solar plants. It results in...
ABSTRACT: The traditional multicopter design method usually requires a long iterative process to find the optimal design based on given performance requirements. The method is uneconomical and inefficient. In this article, a practical method is proposed to...
ABSTRACT The electricity requirements of the world including India are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e., coal, petroleum and natural gas) and other...
ABSTRACT This paper introduces two efficiency improvement techniques for a grid-tied micro-inverter with current mode control zero voltage switching (ZVS) output stages. The first technique is dynamic dead time optimization wherein PWM dead times are dynamically...
ABSTRACT This paper analyses the digital simulation of a buck converter to emulate the photovoltaic (PV) system with focus on fuzzy logic control of buck converter. A PV emulator is a DC-DC converter (buck converter in the present case) having same electrical...
ABSTRACT In this paper the Z-source converter is introduced to power factor correction (PFC) applications. The concept is demonstrated through a wireless power transfer (WPT) system for electric vehicle battery charging, namely Z-source resonant converter (ZSRC). Due...
