Analysis of Power Quality Disturbances in Distribution Systems with Renewable Energy Integration
Abstract: The growing integration of renewable energy sources within the electrical distribution systems has greatly altered the working dynamics of the contemporary power grids. The introduction of intermittent and nonlinear sources (solar photovoltaic and wind energy systems) leads to a wide range of power quality disturbances, however. The current paper includes the in-depth examination of the problem of power quality in the distribution systems with the integration of renewable energy. The …

Polymeric Hybrid Systems Engineered with Multiple-Stage Energy Absorption for Temperature Control
Abstract: Polymer–composite based phase change systems offer an effective strategy for adaptive thermal management; however, most existing systems exhibit single-stage latent heat transitions, limiting their applicability in environments with fluctuating thermal loads. In this study, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) polymer matrix was reinforced with two microencapsulated paraffin-based phase change materials (PCM-A and PCM-B) to achieve multi-level latent heat storage behavior. The fabricated TPU/PCM-A10–B20 polymer–composite demonstrated two distinct endothermic transitions at approximately …

Neural Network Based Fractional Order PID Controller for Harmonic Mitigation of Induction Motor Drive System
Abstract: Torque produced in IM (induction Motor) is collected fundamental torque, however, due to core saturation, air gap irregularity, and winding distribution; stator and rotor slotting harmonics torque are produced. This reduces the quality of the power system, life span, and performance of the motor and the controller device. In this paper, a neural network, based fractional order proportional integral derivative (NNFOPID) controller is designed to compensate the harmonics of the …

Tailoring Toughness of Pineapple Leaf Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Composites Using Halloysite Nanotubes
Abstract: This comprehensive study investigates the effects of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the impact strength and fracture toughness of pineapple leaf fabric-reinforced epoxy (PALF/Ep) composites with an emphasis on sustainable material development. ASTM D256 and ASTM D5045 standards were followed in the fabrication of the composites. HNT weight percentages were systematically changed from 0 to 3wt% through using solution mixing and manual lay-up techniques, and vacuum bagging was used to obtain …

Analysis of Steel Chip Fiber Reinforced Composite Dual Pile Under Lateral Load Conditions on Sloping Terrain
Abstract: Pile foundations, in addition to supporting vertical loads from superstructures, are subjected to lateral stresses arising from seismic activities, wind gusts, water currents, and traffic impacts etc. Failure to account for these lateral forces can pose significant risks if the structure is expected to encounter any form of lateral pressure. Previous research has investigated the behavior of individual composite piles under horizontal forces, considering different soil properties, to determine the …

Atmospheric Boundary Layer Processes: Impacts on Weather Patterns and Climate Change
Abstract: The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is a vital component of the Earth's climate system, acting as the interface between the terrestrial surface and the overlying atmosphere. This layer, typically extending from the surface to a height of a few hundred meters, is characterized by strong gradients in meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure. Understanding the dynamics of the ABL is essential for comprehending weather phenomena, …
