The major contributor to carbon emission is Power Sector and Transport sector. Indian government is promoting EMobility to reduce the carbon footprint in Transport sector by reduction of Oil Consumption. The batteries used in Electric Vehicles have a high energy density and after completing their guaranteed life in the vehicle, they are still left with a very high potential to serve as Energy Storage Equipment for improving Grid Stability. Investment in Renewable Energy is also increasing exponentially to reduce the carbon foot print and to transit towards a Carbon Neutral state. However, the major problem of Renewable energy is its poor reliability and limited availability. To increase the reliability of Renewable Energy, many methods have been suggested and implemented in the sector. In this paper, we have suggested the use of repurposed EV batteries as Grid Level Energy Storage System to increase the reliability of Renewable Energy plant. Financial analysis of using the repurposed EV Batteries has been done and a Comparative study was done amongst Renewable Energy Plant using new batteries for Energy Storage System, Renewable Energy Plant using repurposed EV Batteries for Energy Storage and a Conventional Coal-fired Thermal power plant. It is observed that used battery storage system is not only economical of the three but also offers many other benefits like lower payback period, avenues for re-using the EV Batteries, etc. With the Government Target of 30 % penetration of EV in the Transport Sector by 2030, market will be abundant with used EV batteries. It is also important for the Indian Grid to take adequate measures promptly to overcome the reliability and availability of Renewable Energy Plants by deploying large scale Grid Level Storage Systems in a phased manner.","PeriodicalId":407222,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Power and Renewable Energy Conference (IPRECON)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114933487","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}

Towards this end, low-power and low-cost BPFs are being designed and developed. The fabrication of the popularly deployed high-Q SAW filters is fairly complex, incurring high costs. Hence four alternative implementations using micro-strip PCB structures to meet desired specifications have been studied here. The first structure provides two passbands using microstrip lines, rectangular resonators and Stepped Impedance Resonator (SIR). The upper band of the suggested filter can be tuned without increasing the circuit size, which is one of its most remarkable advantages. In the second structure designed, microstrip antennas of square geometry are extended into a BPF. The third structure is a filter design based on parallel-coupled lines connected to transmission lines. The fourth structure is BPF implemented using a new and simple Defected Ground Structure (DGS). The asymmetric single S-shaped DGS is used to obtain the dual-band filter response. The structure is relatively much simpler than other DGSs that are presently used to obtain dual-band response. The analysis of these cost-effective designs show characteristics matching the SAW filter counterpart, exhibiting compact size, low insertion loss, sharp transition bands and high attenuation level in the stop-bands.","PeriodicalId":407222,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Power and Renewable Energy Conference (IPRECON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116063934","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 proposed drive is designed for three modes of operation: motoring (driving), regenerative braking, and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) charging. For motoring and regenerative braking mode, single-pulse control (SPC) is utilized to reduce the switching frequency to fundamental value giving the advantage of re-duced switching losses and core losses. To reduce the torque ripple and improve the efficiency of the drive, modifications in the conventional SPC are incorporated and presented. In the proposed SRM drive, the Cuk converter is utilized as a front-end converter to provide a higher demagnetization voltage, eliminating negative torque production and hence improving the torque-ampere ratio. Furthermore, the bidirectional Cuk converter is utilized to provide variable magnetization voltage for speed control and to achieve power factor correction (PFC) operation during charging mode (G2V mode). As the proposed SRM drive supports integrated on-board charger functionality, it reduces the cost and improves the overall power density of the EV. Detailed analysis and MATLAB simulation results are presented to validate the efficacy of the proposed integrated SRM drive and control scheme.","PeriodicalId":407222,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Power and Renewable Energy Conference (IPRECON)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126245096","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}

Passive Cell balancing technique and active cell balancing for batteries is discussed. In batteries we have a protection system for overcharging and over discharging. When a stack of cells is present, where each cell has different SoC compared to the other and the cell with least SoC results in activating the over discharge protection of the system. Similarly, the cell with over charge will activate the overcharging protection scheme which is undesirable and may lead to maloperation of the battery. These can be addressed and for a proper function of the battery pack, Cell Balancing system is very much essential. There are different types of cell balancing schemes and, in this work, we have addressed about one of the simple and reliable schemes of cell balancing ie., Passive cell balancing and its operation is simulated.

Inertia available in the rotor of the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind turbine can be utilized for improving primary frequency support. The use of a Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) for aiding the primary frequency control of a wind plant integrated two-area power system is also presented in this paper.

In order to increase the effectiveness of the PV modules, it is desirable to extract the maximum power possible. The MPPT enables the PV system to function effectively under different environmental conditions. To attain maximum power, a variety of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms are adapted using various converter topologies. The conventional Perturb and Observe approach for tracking the bifacial PV module's maximum power point is presented in this research. The P&O approach is well-known, simple to use, and doesn't require any prior understanding of the features of the PV system.
