In this paper, the working principle of a non-isolated interleaved bidirectional Buck-Boost DC-DC converter with a wide input voltage range, a wide output voltage range and low ripple of output current is analyzed. Aiming at the problem of increased system loss caused by the loss of phase-shift control soft-switching when the voltage ratios on the primary side and the secondary side do not match, a three-mode switching control strategy is proposed in which the efficiency of the converter is improved by operating the converter in Buck, Boost and Buck-Boost modes. Finally, through matlab/simulink simulation and experiments, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed converter topology and control strategy are verified.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117150560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The health status of distribution transformers in an electrical grid plays a vital role in maintaining network service continuity, safety from catastrophic events, and reliability of utility operation. Monitoring transformer’s health is essential for minimizing outages and extending its life in service. Various diagnostic tests and fault detection techniques have developed to effectively support utility operators in predicting failure, estimating life expectancy and condition monitor its status. For these reasons, traditional and advanced methods are required to reduce maintenance time, cost, and help in finding fault causes and location easily. This paper gives a thorough overview about widely used and latest condition monitoring techniques while highlighting strengths and limitations of each.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123985660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional DC/DC converters for bucking WES rectifies voltage to the required level but lacks input current continuity as per conventional buck converters’ properties. This results in high tracked electric power ripples which deteriorates tracking efficiency and enlarges turbine mechanical power and torque fluctuations. The latter vastly impacts turbine performance and safety in standalone operation. In this paper, continuous input-output power buck DC/DC converter is employed in a small WES-DC micro grid. It guarantees input/output current continuity and experiences minimal tracked power ripples which are reflected on the turbine mechanical power. Thus, MPPT efficiency is maximized, and turbine protection is maintained. Moreover, this converter features low inductor/capacitor values with less resistive losses thus enhancing reliability and power conversion efficiency and reducing system size and cost. The considered converter is modelled and implemented using simulation work to validate its effectiveness and superiority over traditional buck converters.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127209770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In southern Florida, future urban areas may be inundated due to sea level rise, and there is conflict between urban expansion and wildlife habitat. In order to direct the urban planning and provide habitat for wildlife, the sea level rise scenario should be projected, and priority protected areas need to be identified. With this aim, we used the digital elevation model data to simulate sea level rise in 3 scenarios (0.4m, 0.6m, and 1.0m) and identified areas that would be inundated. We also applied species habitat data and urban planning data from Florida 2070 into the Zonation software to project conservation priority in the study area. Results showed that in 2070, 3.6%, 4.2%, and 6.5% of the urban built-up area would be inundated respectively, under 0.4m, 0.6m, and 1.0m sea level rise scenarios, and priority protected areas are mainly located in Collier, Hendry, Monroe, and Lee counties.

To resolve water scarcity, Harvesting Atmospheric Water (HAW) has emerged as a promising alternative water source, particularly for arid areas. However, the efficiency of an atmospheric water harvesting system depends on relative humidity, temperature, water sorption capacity based on the adsorption phenomenon, and other factors. This paper aims to develop a mathematical model to simulate and analyze atmospheric water harvesting using copper chloride. The simulation results show that the proposed mathematical modeling predicts well the water content. The water content reaches saturation at different times, depending on the depth. More work is underway to simulate and analyze atmospheric water harvesting using other types of salts, for example, magnesium sulfate and copper sulfate and compare the results with experimental data, as well as conducting sensitivity analysis to explore how depths, porosities, hydraulic conductivities, temperatures, and relative humidity affect moisture absorption.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114755923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proper gate drive pulses for the 16 MOSFETs of the four Hbridge units to change the switching states were generated on a microcontroller-based Arduino board. Simple microcontroller programming codes was generated to simplify the complex gate control pulses of MOSFETs. It is observed that small number of power switching devices are used to obtain different levels of output voltage. The proposed system was experimentally tested in the laboratory to estimate total harmonic distortion. This experimental study also shows that the THD of the proposed inverter output voltage is decreased when voltage steps at the of the output voltages is increased. The proper switching angles in equal steps has been maintained by using proper drive pulses for power devices to reduce harmonic distortion.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126178458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Government decisions and actions will guide the direction of the green transformation of the energy industry directly or indirectly. (2) Regional heterogeneity has a significant impact on industrial green transformation, government entities need apply valid approach to reduce the unbalanced development of industrial green transformation among different regions.
