Enhancing Power Quality and Harmonics Control via Integration of PV, Wind, and Battery Systems with Three-level Inverter in DC Micro grid Management
Abstract: The primary goal of this research is to develop a multi-level inverter-based energy management approach for a smart DC-micro grid. An electric micro grid is created in this project by combining photovoltaic (PV), wind, and batteries. Solar and wind power can be efficiently extracted, and the quality of power can be improved by using FOPID control for source-side converters (SSC) and load-side converters controlled by multilevel inverters. To make the …

Fast Charging of Lithium-Ion Batteries Using a Full-Bridge Rectifier and Buck Converter with SOC Tracking
Abstract: This paper presents a simplified and cost-effective approach to electric vehicle (EV) fast charging by replacing the conventional neutral point clamped (NPC) converter with a full-bridge diode rectifier followed by a buck converter. The proposed topology is designed to deliver a regulated 80 V DC from a three-phase AC grid to charge a lithium-ion battery at a controlled current of 3 A. The converter design includes a three-phase diode bridge …

Design, Mathematical Modeling, and Dynamic Optimization of a Speed Breaker-Based Vehicular Kinetic Energy Harvester
Abstract: Decentralized energy harvesting methods are becoming more popular due to rapid urbanization and the rising need for sustainable infrastructure. The road-embedded vehicle kinetic energy harvester (VKEH) design, mathematical modelling, and experimental validation are presented in this work. This paper presents the structural engineering, continuum mathematical modeling, and experimental validation of an optimized road-embedded vehicular kinetic energy harvester (VKEH). The mechanism utilizes a spring- loaded, low-friction rack-and-pinion transmission coupled with a …
