The proposed model is designed such that its control change with the change in the bus voltage. The algorithm is developed and simulated in MATLAB. The performance of the proposed model has been compared with that of the conventionally controlled series dynamic braking resistor (SDBR) for different levels of sag in the bus voltage. The simulation results as well as the index-based comparison show that RLFCL performance is superior to SDBR for enhancing the LVRT capability of DFIG.

An advanced digital signal processor to generate the SPWM signal based GTI with DC-to-DC boost converter is presented in this article. The converter maintains maximum power point tracking (MPPT).

This research explored the electricity consumption of Ahsanullah University of Science & Technology (AUST) academic campus and a plausible design for rooftop solar PV installation. An economic analysis is also presented to determine the LCOE, the payback period and to check the project's financial viability. According to the previous consumption, location-based weather data, available total rooftop space, and the cost of solar PV systems, the analysis revealed that the campus consumes 1632 MWh annually and the available rooftop area of 2950 square meters can house an on-grid photovoltaic system with a capacity of 330 kWp to fulfill partial electricity demand. The electricity production of the system will be 466.36 MWh per year, covering different percentages of the total demand in different months of the year with a capital cost of $330,000. The optimized system designed in this research would save around $50,000 in electricity bills annually and could operate as a smart option to address sustainable energy goals.","PeriodicalId":162510,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Energy and Power Engineering (ICEPE)","volume":"95 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133719947","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}

Calculation of solar PV hosting capacity provides the idea of maximum possible rating with suitable location of PV in the planning phase. PV hosting capacity depends on system parameters and needs to be calculated prior to actual deployment. Hence, there is always some room to enhance the hosting capacity beyond the initial calculation. In this study, several PV hosting capacity enhancement techniques have been proposed and compared to find out the best possible technique for the system planners. The IEEE 43 bus industrial system has been used as the test system. Results show that inclusion of parallel lines and transformers, capacitor and battery energy storage system (BESS) can enhance the PV hosting capacity significantly though the enhancement percentage may vary from bus to bus.","PeriodicalId":162510,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Energy and Power Engineering (ICEPE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129993317","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 goal of this research is to create a system that can detect undervoltage and overvoltage conditions and regulate the associated output of different loads. The proposed protection system is developed and analyzed in the Proteus flatform. A voltage divider circuit and a voltage regulator are attached to the Arduino Pro Mini in the protection model, which determines whether the voltage level is accurate. When the GSM module is turned on, the user receives a message that says “System Initializing”. When the voltage reaches a threshold level, it notifies the user that “System is ON”. Otherwise, it notifies the user that “System is OFF”.

Dynamic economic load dispatch includes a strategy for optimizing fuel usage. It can operate at its best by correctly scheduling the generator following the load requirement. The Lagrange multiplier method and Genetic algorithm, as well as assessments using the Jaya Algorithm, are compared in this research to find the lowest fuel cost while considering valve point effects.

Recently in Bangladesh, the Easy-Bike (EB) has emerged as a widespread and well-liked electric vehicle as a mode of the public transportation system. Bangladeshi national grid has seen a substantial amount of demand for more than ten years due to the charging of locally accessible electric vehicles like easy bikes and motorized rickshaws. These electric cars' heavy charging demand has caused the power distribution system to experience significant concerns due to how many of them are charged at particular times of the day.
