Wireless charging Class-E inverter for zero-voltage switching over coupling coefficient range

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i3.pp1752-1764
Anon Namin , Chuchat Donloei , Ekkachai Chaidee
A novel and practical methodology is presented in this study for designing contactless wireless energy systems using resonant-mode Class-E converters, aiming to sustain efficient soft-transition switching under various levels of magnetic coupling, even under coil misalignment. The approach integrates the wireless power transfer (WPT) circuit with the inverter’s series resonant network and analytically derives the relationship between the coupling coefficient and impedance phase angle to identify zero voltage switching (ZVS) conditions. A key contribution is the use of the maximum expected coupling coefficient as a critical design point to ensure ZVS across practical variations. A complete step-by-step design procedure is provided. Simulation and experimental results confirm that the inverter achieves and maintains ZVS for coupling values in the range 0 < k ≤ kdesigned, with efficiencies reaching up to 95%. This work supports the advancement of soft-switching inverter design to enable robust and efficient WPT systems under practical misalignment conditions.

This paper modeled and analyzed the reliability performance of the 132/33 kV substation in Abuja, Nigeria through the historical data collected from the APO substation using MATLAB 2021b. The probability distribution model was applied to determine the daily feeder’s outage using Reliability, availability, mean time to repair (MTR), Failure rate, distribution indices, and mean time between failures (MTBF). Due to the application of smart energy meters, the use of prepaid energy meters has helped to regulate energy demand, reduce network overloading especially during peak hours, and minimize the cost of energy consumed. There are more forced failures in the distribution system due to the switchgear and Transformer failures. There are more forced failures in the distribution system since 2013, which caused a reduction in the number of interruptions even with an increase in several customers linked to the transmission network. The result shows that the system was most available in the year 2015 with an average service availability index (ASAI) value of 98.9971%. The system was least available in year 2011 with an ASAI value of 98.6558%. The paper recommended that there should be interconnections between different feeders through proper configuration of switches or reclosers, to reduce failure occurrence in the network.

Comparative reliability and performance analysis of PV inverters with bifacial and monofacial panels

10.11591/ijpeds.v16.i3.pp1970-1982
Muneeshwar Ramavath , Rama Krishna Puvvula Venkata
In the realm of solar energy systems, the reliability and performance of photovoltaic (PV) inverters play a critical role in ensuring efficient energy conversion and long-term operation. This study delves into a comprehensive reliability-oriented performance assessment of PV inverters, with a particular focus on the comparative analysis between bifacial and monofacial panels. Reliability evaluation is carried out by considering a yearly mission profile with a one-minute sample at Hyderabad, India. A test case of a 3-kW PV system for grid-connected applications is considered. By integrating reliability metrics with performance indicators, we aim to provide a holistic evaluation of PV inverters operating under varying conditions inherent to both panel types. The research methodology involves detailed simulations and field data analysis to capture the nuances of inverter performance influenced by the unique characteristics of bifacial panels, such as their ability to capture light from both sides, compared to the traditional monofacial panels. In this paper, performance parameters such as junction temperature, MCS, and B10 lifetime (system level (SL) and component level (CL)) are evaluated. Key findings highlight the impact of these differences on inverter reliability. The Bi-PV panel exhibits a decreasing trend. In India, CL reliability (B10) is decreased from 34 years to 1.5 years, and SL reliability (B10) is decreased from 24 years to 1 year. In comparison with monofacial panels, the thermal stress on the PV inverter due to the bifacial panel is increased, and reliability is decreased.

This paper offers a passive islanding detection method that is effective for distributed generation. When a distributed generator (DG) keeps a location powered even when access to the external electrical grid is lost, this circumstance is referred to as islanding. The power distribution system currently includes distributed generators (DGs), which provide inexpensive electricity and have fewer environmental impacts. Sometimes, these DGs continue to supply the nearby loads because of line outages and islands made by system separations. As a result, there are scenarios with unacceptable power quality. The islanding is identified if the result of the rate of change of frequency over reactive power exceeds the threshold value. The MATLAB test results from this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested approach for different islanding and non-islanding scenarios.

Abdelkader Yousfi , Fayçal Mehedi , Khelifa Khelifi Otmane , Youcef Bot
The growing demand for enhanced power quality and reliable transmission has driven advancements in power flow control technologies. The distributed power flow controller (DPFC) represents an advancement over the unified power flow controller (UPFC). In contrast to the UPFC, the DPFC removes the DC link connecting the shunt and series converters, and redistributes the series converters along the transmission line as single-phase static series compensators. This modification enhances grid performance while maintaining full power flow control capabilities. The DPFC offers several advantages over the UPFC, including higher reliability, improved controllability, and greater cost-effectiveness. The system comprises a shunt converter in conjunction with multiple series converters, each with its own control circuit, all managed by a central control unit. This article presents the implementation of a DPFC model in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation outcomes indicate that the DPFC significantly contributes to improved voltage stability and enhanced power transfer capability, thereby reinforcing system performance and reliability.

For photovoltaic (PV) systems to be as effective and dependable as they possibly can be, it is vital to make an accurate prediction of the amount of power that will be generated by the sun. Using machine learning, it is now much simpler to forecast the amount of solar energy that will be generated. These approaches are more accurate and are able to adapt to the ever changing conditions of the nature of the environment. We take a look at the most recent machine learning algorithms for predicting solar energy and examine their methodology, as well as their strengths and drawbacks, in this paper. Using performance metrics like root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean squared error (MSE) makes it possible to evaluate important algorithms like support vector machines, decision trees, and linear regression. The results show that machine learning could help make predictions more accurate, lower the amount of uncertainty in operations, and help people make decisions in real time for PV systems. The study also points out important areas where research is lacking and suggests ways to move forward with the use of machine learning in systems that produce renewable energy.

Asphalt, a crucial component of transportation infrastructure, particularly in regions with high traffic loads and extreme climates, often lacks the necessary elasticity, strength, and durability. Various asphalt modifiers have been explored, but many struggle with cost, thermal stability, and environmental impact. This study, however, investigates maleic-modified rosin ester, a gum rosin derivative, as a sustainable and cost-effective asphalt modifier. The base asphalt was heated to 150-190 °C, sheared at 100 rpm, and combined with 4-20% maleic rosin ester and sulfur. The modified asphalt was subjected to tests, including penetration, softening point, ductility, density, kinematic viscosity, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests. The results are promising, showing that maleic rosin ester enhances penetration resistance and softening points while maintaining ductility and viscosity within acceptable limits. Chemical analysis confirmed improved adhesion, crosslinking, and thermal stability, making the modified asphalt more deformation-resistant. This suggests that maleic-modified rosin ester is a viable alternative to synthetic polymers, offering improved durability and sustainability. The enhanced durability of the modified asphalt provides confidence in its long-term performance, making it a reliable choice for transportation infrastructure.

The rise of social media has changed modern communication, placing information at our fingertips. While these developments have made our lives easier, they have also increased cybercrime. Cyberspace has become a refuge for modern cybercriminals to conduct destructive actions. Most cyberattacks are carried out through malicious links shared on social media platforms, emails, or messaging services. These attacks can have serious consequences for individuals and organizations, including financial losses, sensitive data breaches, and damage to reputation. Early identification and blocking of such links are crucial to protecting internet users and securing cyberspace. Current research uses machine learning (ML) algorithms to detect malicious hyperlinks based on observed patterns in uniform resource locators (URLs) or web content. However, cyberattack tactics are constantly changing. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a robust method that performs a fine-grained analysis of URLs for classification. Lexical and n-gram features are examined separately, with URL n-grams represented using Word2Vec embeddings. The results from hybrid feature sets are combined using a logistic regression (LR) model to increase overall classification accuracy. This robust method allows the system to use both the structural components of the URL and the fine-grained patterns obtained by the n-grams.

This study investigated the potential of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from Sacha Inchi oil as a therapeutic agent for cervical cancer through an in vitro study on HeLa cells. Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women, which is often caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although chemotherapy therapy is one of the main methods in cancer treatment, this approach often causes side effects and drug resistance. ALA, which is one of the main components of Sacha Inchi oil, is known to have antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. In this study, Sacha Inchi oil was analyzed using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) for identification of its active components. Cytotoxic assays were performed using the MTT method on HeLa cells, which showed that ALA significantly inhibited cancer cell viability at low concentrations, with low IC50 values compared to the positive control compound cisplatin. These results suggest that ALA has potential as an effective anti-cancer agent against cervical cancer cells. This study concludes that ALA from Sacha Inchi oil can be a strong candidate in the development of safer and more effective cervical cancer therapy.

Tole Sutikno , Ahmad Heryanto , Laksana Talenta Ahmad
Haystack is Facebook's unique way of managing large amounts of user-generated content like photos. The architecture prioritizes performance, reliability, and scalability to overcome network-attached storage system bottlenecks. Haystack speeds data access and ensures data integrity during hardware failures by using physical and logical volumes. This study examines the architecture of Facebook's Haystack data storage system and its effects on scalability and efficiency in handling large photo data. According to the study, the store, directory, and cache functions work together to reduce input/output (I/O) operations and improve metadata processing, which traditional network-attached storage systems cannot do. Haystack manages massive photo data storage and retrieval, solving network-attached storage (NAS) limitations. It balances throughput and latency by minimizing disk operations and optimizing metadata processing. Each store, directory, and cache contribute to this ecosystem. The Haystack architecture reduces disk operations and metadata processing bottlenecks with distributed caching. A cache allows instant access to frequently requested images and balances read and write operations across the system. We should study advanced storage system architectures based on Facebook's Haystack architecture. This could involve investigating faster metadata processing algorithms, using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve fault detection and repair systems, and assessing the economic impact of distributed caches.
