A Novel PWM Based STATCOM Controller for Power Quality Enhancement in Distributed System
Abstract: Static Synchronous Compensator has the capability for the improvement in damping factor and stability by managing the reactive power output. As the STATCOM will itself absorb the reactive power which comes from the distribution line when we apply the capacitive load. To get the higher performance of STATCOM we are mainly depend over control algorithms. As the real power factor has been absorb by the STATCOM at the time when …

Self-Healing Graphene–Polymer Nanocomposite Encapsulation Layers for Ultra-Stable Perovskite Photovoltaic Modules under Extreme Environmental Conditions
Abstract: The recent trend is that perovskite photovoltaic modules are vulnerable to moisture, oxygen, thermal cycle, UV, and mechanical stress, which seriously affect the working stability of the modules under harsh environmental conditions, thereby hindering the rapid commercialization. In this study, a new self-healing graphene–polymer nanocomposite encapsulant layer is proposed to improve the durability and reliability of perovskite solar modules in extreme climates. The encapsulation system combines functionalized graphene nanosheets into …

Enhancing Solar Water Pumping in Arid Regions with Hybrid Super Capacitor and Battery Storage
Abstract: Water scarcity and unreliable grid electricity are two of the most pressing challenges facing rural communities in arid and semiarid regions. Standalone solar photovoltaic (PV) pumping systems have emerged as a clean, lowmaintenance alternative to dieselpowered pumps, yet their performance is constrained by the intermittent nature of sunlight and the limited energybuffering capacity of conventional batteries. This study investigates the integration of a highpower, highenergydensity supercapacitor bank as a hybrid …

Analysis of shading and energy generation by PV overhang using different models
Abstract: This paper presents the shading and energy generated by photovoltaic integrated overhangs in a building. The air temperature is greatly raised by sunlight entering through glass facades and windows that are not shaded. The overhang decreases the sunlit area of the windows thus decreasing the inside room temperature which decreases the requirement of cooling the rooms. The energy production by the photovoltaic modules has been calculated using three popular energy …

BisGMA/Thermoplastic Polymer Blends: A Study of Mechanical and Corrosive Properties
Abstract: AbstractThe objective of this work is to synthesize various blends of Bisphenol-A-glycidyldimethacrylate (BisGMA) resin with different proportions of thermoplastic polymers like poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and poly-ethyleneoxazoline (PEOZ) and to study their mechanical and corrosive properties. The experimental results showed that BisGMA/PVP and BisGMA/PEOZ blends displayed an improvement in the mechanical properties over unmodified BisGMA resin and the 50:50 blend system is the optimum blend composition in both BisGMA/PVP and BisGMA/PEOZ blends. …
