However, the charging cost is high due to the use of electricity from the grid and lack of common standard voltage level to facilitate the battery recharging and swapping. This paper aims to make a comparison between the charging cost from the national grid and from charging station based on a PV system towards integration of solar PV based charging station. Furthermore, this paper presents the optimal PV sizing and design for cost effective of the E-motorcycle charging station based on a PV system. The results demonstrate that after integrating a solar PV system with a grid-connected charging station, the swapping cost is lowered from ${$}$ 1 to 0.2212 US dollars. This new option helps in the transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles, which emit greenhouse gases and have high gasoline costs, to electric motorcycles, which are more environmentally friendly and have lower fuel costs, as is the goal of our country and Africa.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124808820","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}

This is largely due to the relatively low inductance in DC systems, zero crossing issues, selectivity, as well as the vulnerability of the power electronic converters. Therefore, fast and selective protection algorithms are required to prevent both the systems and devices from damage. This paper investigates the distinct features of wavelet transform (WT) in fault identification and discrimination for application to HVDC Grids. In this paper, the simulation results provide relevant evidence of WT ability to detect and discriminate between internal and external faults using WT coefficients and wavelet entropy (WE). The simulation results presented revealed that discrimination was achieved within $(500 mu s)$ following the arrival of the fault components at the relay terminals; up to a fault resistance of 500 ohms.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121671695","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}

However, coil misalignment is inevitable for the WPT system, leading to a reduction of efficiency. The dual transmitter (TX) and single receiver (RX) system can improve efficiency in the misalignment condition by controlling the currents of TX, but at the cost of adopting two inverters to individually control each TX. Hence, this digest proposes a cost-effective and independent dual output inverter (IDOI) employing six MOSFETs, to improve the system efficiency under coil misalignment. The operation principle of the IDOI to achieve independent control is introduced, and the optimal control method of the IDOI to achieve maximum efficiency point is proposed then.

Thus, there is a need to develop advanced and resilient frequency control schemes to mitigate the impacts of different perturbations that can compromise the frequency stability of the MG. This paper deploys the unknown input observer (UIO) in the secondary frequency control (SFC) loop of the MG for unknown input estimation. The developed UIO has the capability to detect and estimate cyberattacks and use the estimated cyberattack to counterattack the true cyberattack, thus, maintaining the stability of the MG.

To sustain this process, increased levels of publicly available electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure (CI), are required. This must be done in a manner that meets the charging demands of EV users in both spatial and temporal dimensions. However, meeting charging demands presents challenges in terms of EV CI planning and charging service operation. In addition, large-scale charging demands could compromise the stable and economic operation of the power grid. In order to mitigate grid impacts and overcome demand-side issues, it is crucial to deploy CI strategically and to operate charging services properly. The objective of this paper is to aid readers by reviewing research in this area.

These drawbacks arise because of actions carried out by most consumers such as metering systems overconsumption, industrial and distribution transformer overloads. Conventionally, the load management systems were proposed to tackle the problems by notifying the utility companies about the consumer load status but these systems are high energy consumption, high cost, and unable to provide the consumer location and accurate information. This paper develops the intelligent system for handling the issues by designing a three-phase smart energy meter perceptively based on Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies interfaced by Arduino UNO. This microcontroller measures the three phase’s current and voltage and from these readings, powers were determined. Each phase, the predefined values of load were set, and whenever this threshold load values were exceeded, the consumer and utility got a message from GSM texted: “Dear Consumer, System is overloaded, Please manage it and RESET.”, otherwise the system was disconnected from the supply and GPS module was connected to the microcontroller to provide the location of the consumer. The results indicated that the system accurately has detected and reported the overload condition by tripping the energy meter and localizing the consumer. The IoT with AI technologies can be considered for future works.","PeriodicalId":236251,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Southern Power Electronics Conference (SPEC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115707734","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}
